One thing I really dislike about Death Battle compared to other, smaller Vs. shows is one half of the title - the "Death". You can have a proper resolution for a battle without forcing characters to go OOC.

Super Meat Boy isn't a hard game, like, at all. It's not a bad game, I've had fun with it, but compared to the retro games it's often compared to it's a cakewalk, even if you're to play said retro games with save states.
Pac-Man 2 would actually make for a pretty good Smash stage. It's one of the few non-maze Pac-Man games Namco isn't reluctant to acknowledge and as such it rereleases somewhat frequently; plus it has quite the (mostly ironic) cult following.
Me watching this video was nothing but a constant stream of shouting "dammit Miyamoto!" and/or "is Dunkey making this up?"
Nintendo should make "Old Play Control" ports of all their gimmicky touch screen; 3D and motion control games.
Though TBH I do kinda wish the Switch had 3D.
I like to imagine this is how they got Duck Hunt back for "Everyone is Here!"
We like to joke a lot about family-friendly adaptations of media aimed at adults, like the Little Shop of Horrors cartoon or Rambo toyline
but you know something that's equally as stupid, if not more so?
this stuff:
I had a dream where I went to a shop that sells bootleg merchandise, and they had one of those kids' science sets, but the logo said "Furniture Intestines" in WordArt with a silhouette of Johnny Test to the side.
You know how they say there's certain things you only get if you grew up in a Christian household? well, I grew up in an atheist household, and as such I instantly got this joke as a kid:
Not a good trade-off, you Christians got the banger that is His Cheeseburger; all I got was to be able to prematurely understand a dark joke about the Bible in Phineas and Ferb.
Still a funny joke though.
Is it just me or were Disney going through somewhat of an angsty teenage phase in the 2000s? All the symptoms were there:
Constant self-depricating jokes (the Teachers' Pet movie was a deconstruction of Pinocchio; Lilo and Stitch was advertised by making fun of the Disney Renaissance)
A few plotlines involving disconnected, inexperienced or outright terrible parents (Lilo and Stitch is about a broken home being repaired by welcoming an alien pet; Buck Cluck is a certified A-double-dollar hole in Chicken Little; Kuzco's adoptive mother is the villain in Emperor's New Groove)
Copying the more successful kids/studios in class/Hollywood (The Wild = Madagascar; Chicken Little = Shrek)
There's a reason why people think "Disney Channel" and not "Disney animation" when they hear "2000s Disney", and it's more than nostalgia - well, some of the stuff they put out was good, like the aforementioned Lilo & Stitch and New Groove, but that's a small amount.
So basically:
Fall Guys becomes popular out of nowhere
Another game with similar character designs from years ago somehow becomes more popular out of nowhere
People realise they left behind Fall Guys right as an update comes out, and Fall Guys becomes popular out of nowhere again.
I imagine this will be a cycle.
YOU BECAME THE VERY THING YOU SWORE TO DESTROY!
A lot (not all or even most, but a lot) of the people documented in "public freakout" videos are in the right TBH.
Anybody who says things like "happiness is a choice" or "I don't like the grumpy you" should have their English license revoked.
There's only one specific character I don't want: Shadow the Hedgehog. Hate that edgelord.
There's also two general types of character I don't want: Anime swordfighter (or any FE character, even a non-sword user); and sexualised (or generally "beautiful") female character - can we get a female character who's an animal or a kid or ugly or something for once? Characters like Isabelle; F!Villager; Minecraft Alex; Wendy; and Inkling are a step in the right direction - but most of those are just alternate costumes.
Sonic fans have managed to capture the original source material so well it's hard to tell which Sonic renders are official and which are fan art.
I had a dream where they remade DKC2, but they just put all the level layouts in jungle settings with the Jungle Hijinx theme in the background for all of them. Also it was only playable via a subscription service, not NSO mind you, but a unique DKC2 subscription service.
If Kirby had just stayed a placeholder I wonder what he would've been replaced by... some kind of land-shark or other carnivorous animal? maybe they would've simply added a few extra elements to his design - like bigger eyes, cat ears, and even a puff of hair?
The fake-out death scene in the SpongeBob Movie is legitimately one of the greatest death scenes in cinema. Anyone and everyone can tell a fake-out death from the real deal, especially for a main protagonist half way through a kid's movie (let alone one based on merchandisable characters you see on TV every week), but somehow the SpongeBob Movie just takes your mind off that and immerses you in the emotion... I don't know how they did it, perhaps the slow, painful nature of their near-demise; the sad music; the usually wacky and silly characters' acceptance of death; or even all of the above - either way, they did a good job.
You've heard of Sonic Mania Plus, now get ready for Sonic Forces Plus! download the DLC and the Sonic Forces game will disappear from your home menu, in its place will be Sonic Mania; $45 on your digital shop account and - exclusive for PC players - a .txt file containing an apology!
It's strange how profanity filters NEVER account for capital i's and lowercase L's.
I present to you: the Smash Ultimate character design tier list, based solely on a character's aesthetic appearance. Still subjective either way.
This sounds how angsty Cuphead fanart with blood looks.
My ideal Crash design would be the N. Sane design, but with an orange muzzle.
As a kid, I had a bootleg GBA cart filled with GB games. One of those games was "Q-Billion", an utterly incomprehensible number stacking game - at the time I decided to Google how to play this game and found no answers, but I did find this box art:
I didn't realise "the puzzle games to CHEWS!" was a pun, so I thought it was just written with bad grammar and referring to a product or organisation called "CHEWS", which funded the game or something.
Brawlhalla is absolute garbage. If you haven't played it, imagine Smash but exactly two items are forced on and you only have tilts and aerials. It's not even the checkers to Smash's chess, it's equivalent to a paper board game you'd get in an issue of the Beano.
If Impa was to get in Smash I'd want them to use this design.
I don't mean this in a "haha, wouldn't that be funny?" way, I really do want to kick ass as a wrinkly old lady.
It's strange to me how people will complain about games like Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts for talking little elements from their source material before praising Super Mario 64 as the greatest game of all time.
Nobody:
Warner Brothers: what if... Cars... but Batman! https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/ba...animation-cartoon-network-hbo-max-1234794395/
I think there's 2 ways to fix 3D All-Stars.
1. use the unedited ROMs, no widescreen/upscaled textures/e.t.c., - throw in 64 DS; 3D Land and Galaxy 2, maybe even Wario World and Donkey Kong 64 - and sell it for £30.
2. remake 64, Sunshine and Galaxy a la Crash N. Sane and sell it for £30.
We talk a lot about separating art from artist, but I feel we don't talk enough about separating art(ist) from corporation.
I just sent someone in a YouTube comments section defending Mario 3D All-Stars because of ROM illegality a link explaining that "illegal = bad" is a logical fallacy, and they replied "I agree, piracy is stealing" - how can you miss the point so hard?
BRING BACK SICKLY GREEN DK
Dr. Mario's taunts look like idle animations and vice versa. I think they're going for subtlety, because he's a professional and such, but that doesn't really work with taunts.
You know how people say a good song can transport them to a nostalgic time?
I feel that, but... not in a very glamorous way.
Every time I hear this song, I think of getting queasy looking downwards at my DS Lite playing Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots in my dad's old dog-puke-infested car through the seaside, with the heat intensifying the dog puke smell.
Nostalgia usually makes bad things seem good, but for me it does the exact opposite.
Honestly I think Goomba should've been in Smash instead of Piranha Plant. Goomba is insignificant enough to be funny at first but, unlike PP, is iconic enough in the realm of Mario as a whole to not feel out of place when the gag wears off, plus a handless fighter does sound interesting.
The character models from the N64 version of Mother 3 look like memes, like even more so than 90s CGI usually does.
Something I'm surprised doesn't exist yet: a 3D dogfighting (as in with planes) party game - with items and stuff, like Mario Kart battle mode.
They should add a chuckster to Smash. Not any particular chuckster like "The Chuckster" or anything like that, but a chuckster, all lowercase. There is no one chuckster, they just rotate chucksters out for every battle. Every time you battle as a chuckster you get a randomly coloured and sized, but always moustached Pianta, no selecting alternate costumes. All their special moves are some variant of a command grab.
