The Creeper and Pig Mii costumes both have detached limbs... yeah, I think Rayman may be getting the costume treatment.

I lack the brain cells required to comprehend how this logo could've ever been considered professional for use in any kind of commercial project in any time period.

Video you should check out. Might have some swear words, but my memory's a little hazy so that could be a false alarm.

That new Caddicarus video has got me thinking about how cool a new Disney Skate Adventure using 1+2's engine would be.

I'm surprised more people don't mention the idea of Andross as a Smash fighter. He'd be a fun character for Sakurai to express 100% original creative muscles on like Fox beforehand.

I've always seen Waluigi as kinda like a wrestling heel, but for golf. His few instances of full dialogue do imply he's somewhat of a nice guy, or at the very least wise - like, actually wise, not a wiseguy.

"We need a character who can be the final boss of our Nintendo crossover, who should it be?"

"Perhaps a giant dragon?"

"Nah, too generic, doesn't tie in to the characters."

"Bowser, Andross or Ganon?"

"Yeah... no, too specific. They're Mario, Fox, and Link's enemies - wouldn't make sense for Pikachu or Samus to take them on."

"BUT THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT! ugh, how about the hand that wakes up Kirby on the continue screen? hehehehehehe"

"PERFECT!"

"I was joking, Mr. Sakur-eh, who cares, the raise can feed my family."

I used to be active on DeviantArt and draw a lot of very... um... niche artwork, let's call it that, about people with elastic limbs - and all the OCs made for this artwork were very samey: adult woman, big boobs. I was sick and tired of it so I just decided to make an OC who is as (conventionally) unattractive as humanly possible. I took an old OC of mine (a Kumatora recolour named Grace) and slowly turned her into a disgusting pop-culture-obsessed wannabe-90s-kid teenage slob.


While they never said it out loud, it seemed lot of people in the "elastic girl" community as they call it (I personally would've preferred a much more androgynous name) were baffled by this character - whenever I'd request people to draw her they'd remove the acne; give her boobs; e.t.c., which just defeated the point of the character to me. (fun fact: I specifically wrote into Grace's "lore" that she wears a chest binder and eye contacts so she can look more ugly, and actually has DD and anime eyes without them.)

I have quite a few OCs, and pretty much all of them are male, with Grace being one of two female characters. This was pretty much just an act of rebellion towards the female-dominated elastic OC lineup

I made a few treasured friends during my DA days, but now I speak with them on Discord instead. My OCs have stayed alive through our discussions, and I see big things in Grace's future... some day, she may just get her own game!

"taunt/teabag to get bodied" is just a sign of a bad player since it implies they aren't putting their all into the game until they get taunted.

While I like Shovel Knight as a game I always felt it had a little too many modern commodities. It's more a modern game with retro graphics than a retro throwback; which is what most people like about it but what I dislike about it above all.

Olimar got Wazowski'd by the game demo.

Sometimes I wonder if "hoes mad" memes were actually an elaborate conspiratorial smear campaign by Byleth's haters against Byleth's fans. There's no way in hell anybody old enough to comprehend how FE's turn based strategy works and/or emotionally mature enough to handle permadeath would genuinely think making fun of people simply for the mere act of being upset at a video game character will help them or anyone else.

Well, add that to the Smash crossover web.


This splash screen was added in 2010, Mojang predicted people finding the mere existence of Peter Griffin funny by about 7 years.

My discussions on Discord are almost 70% "Heh" and "I can see that"

-Adventure Time
-Dubstep
-McDonald's trying to look healthy

This is one of the most early 2010s things I've ever seen

This ad is strange to me for 2 reasons:

1. It implies the game's "hero" Buck Bumble likes to kill innocent spiders for fun.
2. You could just put a black screen on, play the Buck Bumble theme and add white text in Broadway font saying "buy buck bumble on n64" and it'd be the best selling game of all time. The song's that good.

Steve could be argued to be the first black default costume in Smash - even then, he's more racially ambiguous than outright black. Most merchandise of him is very white so I don't think he's intended to be black, it's just the shading.

I don't get why they added a Pig Mii Costume when they could've just added a Zombie Pigman or Piglin costume for Steve.

I have been betrayed. First D.va, now this?

I'm a little annoyed one of Steve's stages has How to Play 64's layout when broken. I just want that stage made into a real stage at some point.

Well...

good news for Lloyd fans.

Imagine: Mr. Sakurai Presents Steve & Alex starts, and you hear

"I don't know what the block does, do you?"

Can we stop ganging up on people for not liking reveals? I like Steve, but dammit let people dislike him if they want to!

I have literally never seen anyone who's truly angry over Steve, at "worst" people are just mildly disappointed.

What do you mean Minecraft's teeth are in Smash? there's no teeth in that game!

Funko Pop Steve looks like the babysitter from Cat in the Hat

I spoiled Crash 4 for myself and trust me: you do NOT want to skip these cutscenes. They're absolutely brilliant.

Steve can literally just build a cave of life. You can make ANY stage ban-worthy if you desire.

My one biggest wish for Steve is that they use Windows music as part of his music pack. I get they're drawing from the spin-offs, but I just wanna fight to Canyon.mid and this is basically the only shot for the Windows universe (yes, I did just say "the Windows universe") to be repped in any form.

Steve in Smash looks so accurate to his source material that there's probably a real photo leak out there we dismissed as fake.

I want to live in a house that's coloured like the Simpsons house. Pink, turquoise, purple. Just hideous.

This is supposed to be a negative review but it sounds more like a marketing slogan given the kind of game this is.

Apparently "every stage had to be reworked" to get Steve in Smash.

They've probably just been copied over 1 to 1 with slight alterations for Steve - but I seriously hope they took this opportunity to fix out some of the weird Hazards Off stuff.

Steve's building mechanics in Smash remind me of this masterpiece of an article (warning: contains a few phallic-themed swear words): https://www.vg247.com/2015/06/03/the-sad-saga-of-lego-universes-dong-detection/

Congratulations, Bull Dog Skin Care. Your ads have given me the forbidden desire to kick a puppy. I hope you're proud of yourselves.

It's gonna be super hard for artists to draw Alex in those "Smash girl breast comparison" images given she and everything in her game are literally just a wall of squares - and I am here for it 100%. I cannot wait to see the absurd, desperate attempts straight men take to make a pile of cubes conventionally attractive just because their hormones decided to make them curve-loving normies like everyone else instead of making them a cuboid-loving chad.

One thing I would predict appearing in Smash at some point is a Chinese rep - not nationality wise but rather a character owned by a Chinese company - for obvious reasons, however I can't find many notable video game characters owned by Chinese companies. Ignoring non-Chinese companies owned (partially or otherwise) by Tencent, the only Chinese publisher with characters (or "a character" would be more accurate) who could logically get into Smash by any stretch of the imagination is BillionSoft - who currently own Bubsy, who has almost 0 odds - I wouldn't call him impossible exactly given he is a very popular character in Western territories (albeit not for flattering reasons) and does have a large fanbase, even excluding his ironic fans, but he comes VERY close to impossible given his infamy isn't as strong in Japan. The only way I could see Bubsy getting in Smash is if a future Bubsy game defeats the odds and ends up being actually good, even then it'd have to be REALLY good to destroy Bubsy's bad rap.

I just noticed something: Steve's trailer is full CG animation, meaning he was likely planned for E3. That means there's probably another super big character next up if we're to believe they were planning 2 characters like last time.

Wah?

I wonder why everyone calls Steve "Minecraft Steve"? Where did this start? I don't think it's a meme like calling Sans "Sans Undertale" considering how far it goes back.

Alex, Zombie and Enderman are cool and all but where's this iconic Minecraft alt?
