The reason why Goldeen appears in Smash instead of Magikarp is because both of the edgy Smash story modes would not have any conflict whatsoever if Magikarp existed in the Smash universe. All 3 eldritch abominations would be dead by the time Cranky Kong was born with even one Magikarp around, let alone a whole species.

I just spent... about half a minute... convinced I was insane because I couldn't find proof that a Grinch Fortnite collab I vividly remembered happening ever happened.

Turns out it was actually Jack Skellington.

If Sakurai was based and added this guy to Smash (or if they made any other appearance in a Nintendo game), their in-game name should be "Who Are You Running From?" because, let's be frank, if anyone was to have an ominous, 6-syllable question as their legal first name, it'd be them.

I think it is partially true that Smash fans live in a bubble, but I also think it's just as true that Smash fans have an irrational fear of being seen as "biased" so they create weird unnecessary excuses to make their opinions look objective, and that's how you get ridiculous takes like "Geno is more important than Waluigi" or "Pac-Man World 2 is the most iconic Pac-Man game"

Like most things with Smash fandom, this is a pretty clear symptom of how Smash treats itself with seriousness, and makes roster decisions based on objective factors like sales; fan demand; recency; importance in their source game; e.t.c. instead of dev opinions.

Everybody talks about how much they love shiny metal cartoon eyelids, and with good reason, but where's the love for used cigarette butt hats?

I don't get why the Smash Wiki calls franchises "universes" - I don't come to the Smash Wiki for immersion, god damn it!

I think that people who say "every character is someone's favourite! <3", from my personal experience, have always been the most stubbornly against character ideas that are against-the-grain.

Let's be frank, that phrase isn't usually used as a statement to say that all character picks are valid or what have you, it's just moralising that is basically only used in the context of character cuts, which, considering development issues, are more moral than bringing back every character every time.

Thanks to

Internal Frickface I have been introduced to the wonderful gaming term "Poverty Fighter", I wish I could use that term but I'm a platfighter player and our big dog kinda is the poverty fighter of the genre lmao.

I completely unironically believe this is the best Mario character design

The "guy yelling Among Us" thing is really funny, because it's both very reaffirming and very frightening to know that something can be as ubiquitous and as enigmatic in origin as the "Cool S" in the modern internet age

I will never understand why fighting game fans get so upset at the prospect of playing as a character for functionality and not the actual character. Like, creative decisions being influenced by such a mentality I kinda get being upset at, but strongly disagree, but being upset at an individual player?? Where's the logic in that?

I've been submitting a lot of games to IGDB lately, usually I've been lazing out on the box arts, just taking a screenshot of a title screen or using a YouTube thumbnail and calling it a day (most of these submissions are of fangames, ROM hacks, flash games, bootlegs, e.t.c. - stuff that typically goes without box art - since those are the only games not on there already) - but I felt like making a custom poster for one specific submission (probably the one game I was most surprised by the absence of given its infamy) and I think I've created a poster that goes very hard. Jurassic Park/Mortal Kombat vibes.

Nintendo's retro game preservation is a really weird Russian roulette of just how much they devote. Like, obviously, all of Nintendo's emulation bases have been historically worse both in features and performance than emulator offerings at the time, that's no surprise, but on a game-to-game basis, you're dice rolling between A. perfect digital replications of Blockbuster Pokemon Snap and StarTropics water paper, and complete E-Reader level sets for SMB3 Advance; or B. Mario Tennis with half of the characters unavaliable; Super Game Boy-coloured games in strictly monochrome; and an entirely rental-driven Pokemon Stadium meta.

If anything has the right to do evil Mickey/Pooh (in the sense of "would it be a good idea", not legally), it is Shrek 5.

the rating board says emio has suicide themes.

oh no, we all know how smash fans are about... that.

im watching the cancelled n64dd games dykg video, and the part where they cut to kimba saying "you must eat me" felt like an mcu reveal but like, it's the... misconception-busting-video-essay cinematic universe

This video randomly came back into my head a few days ago.

If Chris Pratt is in the next Ghostbusters movie, as has been rumoured, that will mean all 4 major Garfields (Music, Welker, Murray, Pratt) will have been Ghostbusters.

G-Force is the movie that made me realise movies can be bad, I think I've said this before, but Bee Movie was the first movie that made me realise movies can be entertaining but have extremely annoying flaws, which might be even more depressing.

(for reference, that flaw was Honex saying they'll "work Barry to death" but Barry and Adam working for them being the happy ending)

Wario Wario Wario · Jul 10, 2024

ok but actually what was up with rayman in the ice - how do you get such a close proximity by accident while also having that same character present in the game. surely someone at some point had to have said "hey, look, that abstract frozen fire texture kinda looks like rayman struggling to escape"

I like how the DuckTales reboot basically built an entire season's story arc out of wanting to use a cool 80s game song.

I recently found out that Disney owns the cartoon "Crusader Rabbit", the literal first television cartoon, through Fox and apparently they just... don't know, or at least don't care? It's not on Disney+, and the only time Disney has ever used him was as a Funko Pop in 2020, probably a pre-buyout holdover. Like, wouldn't that be the perfect character for Disney to use for pre-nostalgia-zone merch aimed at history buffs like they do Oswald and, in the parks, Gertie the Dinosaur?

Which side are you on in the Android-21-ified Simpsons rep race?

Wario Wario Wario · Jul 8, 2024

Woah, they actually did Yoshi's Story All Melons at GDQ. I had heard of that being like a big mythical meme for the event.

I really hope crossover skins like MVS' Matrix/Jason mask skins catch on in platform fighters. As a guy who chooses characters based on function instead of emotional attachment, a skin for Donatello where he has a Rocko shirt or Marth with a Duck Hunt mask would be a godsend.

every time i go on youtube shorts i see something utterly surreal, and this might be the most bizarre one yet.

I'm not saying these are valid substitutes for a new game, but it's really weird how Donkey Kong (particularly Country) fans will say "We're so starved!" when they've got a major role in one of the highest grossing movies of the year, and basically the biggest signifier of cultural relevance (sans Avatar): a devoted, major theme park land.

You know how people have kinda grown sick of "EVIL MICKEY RUNS DISNEY" satire and now want to portray him as a victim? I feel the same way towards bored monkey NFTs. It's not the funny monkeys' fault their faces are attached to an MLM. They must be released from the blockchain prison.

I may have a go at writing the Smash Ballot article, that being said, certainly not yet, and I also am struggling to think how to talk about this subject to a slightly larger audience, some of whom probably will have never as much as considered the idea of the ballot being bad, without coming off as vindictive or judgemental and without criticising any specific character picks (I will absolutely discuss the Banjo-Geno/Chief-Sephiroth disparity, which being neutral about is gonna be EXTREMELY difficult). It also might depend a bit on the nature of the application, I don't want to be giving away my email address or such.
