I think people tend to overexagerate how little Smash changes characters because... it does, quite a bit in fact, it's just that most of its changes have primarily been balance-based instead of anything diegetic. 3DS/Wii U Bowser and Brawl Bowser are completely different beasts, even if Bowser's flame breath didn't become a projectile.

Bring back the act of turning bad cartoons into inescapable memes as soon as streamers or reviewers mention them in passing once. I am not seeing nearly enough Family Gal discussion.

Slap City is making me wish Smash gave characters alt costumes where they've inexplicably got purple or green skin.

I like how Chadtronic's Temu sponsor bit isn't hiding Temu's reputation for useless bootleg ****e at all, but instead using it as a selling point. In a weird way, I think it's the most sincere a YouTube sponsor has felt to me.

I have a feeling NASB 2 will be one of those "bad sequel, great game in it's own right" games, which I'm personally OK with.

My Friendly Neighborhood feels like it was made to be played by children (compliment)
Poppy Playtime feels like it was made to be played by children (insult)

I can't believe the new Twitter slogan is "Blaze Your Glory!" - Elon's basically just promoting vehement discourse as a feature and not a bug.

IMO Rivals 2 is looking to have the best stages of any platform fighter on an aesthetic level - they all have actual setpieces to draw attention just like the first game, but they also look like a lived world you could explore if you broke into the Z-axis compared to how pretty much every other comp-designed stage in the genre (including Rivals 1) is either just an isolated island or weird flying plank of wood.

"Christorians" explaining how having more intimate personal info documented online for some random woman who made a bad webcomic then we have for Ghandi, Genghis Khan, all 3 MLKs, and Hitler combined is completely OK and ethical. (she's a bad person, so obviously that means we should throw out all of our fundamental human ethics!)

God, it is horrific how Smash fans treat games and characters themed around suicide and depression - I was rereading the response to my Miner Willy submission for Infinite, and everyone was up in arms over him and Freddi Fish when Sunny was right there to direct hate to. Somehow having no powers or being made for babies is a bigger problem than being from a game about teenage suicide???

Rare literally ported a ZX Spectrum game into one of their 90s tentpole releases as a mandatory quest for any% completion and elder Nintendo fans still think the gaming crash happened worldwide.

i apologise for today's double-bout of 3d platformer fandom mockery.

Fans of Zoogly Dooby walking into an important financial meeting unannounced to inform the Affable Software stockholders that Zoogly Dooby is officially their mascot despite not having a single poster or statue in the building and the name not even ringing a bell to those who invested in the company circa 1998.

Associating dumb AI memes made by 14 year olds where Marge sings Death Grips or whatever with the actual AI crisis in the professional filmmaking world is equivalent to saying that YouTube Poops caused the Star Wars Special Editions.

I genuinely don't know why so many people's first thought when they saw Ember leaked for NASB 2 is "what about the supermarket shooter?" - I had only really heard of Ember through the shootings, and I didn't immediately think that - just "Huh, another 2000s villain! Guess we're not getting Luna Loud now that the rock star niche is covered, haha."

In general, I think the internet has a really weird habit of latching on to "the dark side" of childrens' media and ignoring basically everything else - where, if it isn't something both universal and relevant-in-the-2000s like Shrek; Mario; or SpongeBob, the entire discussion will become an obnoxious loop of "wasn't that one sex joke weird?", "that behind-the-scenes creep should be locked up", or "damn, that eldritch-abomination boss fight went hard".

I can't believe the argument against Barbie disproving the whole "woke = broke" BS is "it was falsely advertised"

Like... you could make a case for the advertising hiding the film's PG-13 sensibilities or deeper themes, but in the case of "wokeness" were you genuinely not expecting a movie based on Barbie of all things to have feminist themes??? Who the hell do you think is the target audience? I don't think tradwives are all too lucrative a market.

This forgotten 1983 vinyl made Mario history, but it could never be created today

Before Mario even had his own game, four moonlighting musicians gave him a voice on an offbeat album from Nintendo’s wildest era.

I know that "they didn't have to go THAT hard on the music for THIS game" is a bit of a cliche, and it really shouldn't be shocking to see great music made for the sake of meme freeware or cheap licensed tie-ins after a while, but god damn, Logan Kart 8, man. I don't even think they got paid for this.

i started writing a lost media wiki article for the ugly sonic cut under the presumption that it may exist but probably doesn't, and then found a source saying for certain that the ugly cut doesn't exist right as i was finishing it off, so i had to scrap it because reworking the article to change every instance of "it is unknown if..." to "... does not exist" would be too tedious.

how's your day?

I love the old "Ash vs. Red" comparison memes from the 2000s because like... all this tells me is that Ash is a well-written adaptation of Red??? Red is a character in a medium where stakes are derived from player choice and personalities are derived from imagination, while Ash is a character in a medium where negative consequences should be in some form unavoidable, personality defines a character, and a large recurring cast is essential.

One thing I appreciate about Plankton in NASB 2 is that they gave him a mech that looks like himself and - unlike the source material in Sponge out of Water - gave it unique expressions, so it still looks like you're fighting as Plankton compared to his appearances in other Nick and SpongeBob games.

Rise of the Robots rep in Smash would go hard. There's some really cool character designs that could do with an appearance in a (as much as I hate on modern Smash) structurally-functional game, it's technically 90s computer rep, and it's just as much a part of gaming history as DKC - if anything, it's failure gives it a bigger place in the history books.

T - it's ****ing Twitter
I - "Information" "intelligence". Maybe not apt, but certainly a good image.
E - If Elon indeed wants to make an "everything app", it's quite fitting to use the suffix for "digital...".
Y - Sounds like "why", making it good for an app about communication, also not in much use.
C - Sounds like "see", very fitting for an app about posting images
U - Sounds like "you" - again, fitting for an "everything app".
W - Considered a positive term on Twitter. Could maybe make for a good rename for hearts if you want to make the app seem less serious.
O - Could represent a level of surprise, as in "Oh!".
A - "Eeeeyy!!" is somewhat fitting for a social app?
B - Sounds a little unusually philosophical, but continues the "tiny flying animal making an annoying noise" theme.
M - "Mmmm" sounds uncertain, which could be good or bad depending on whether Elon wants to make a platform centered on information or opinion.
R - Often evokes R-rated movies, maybe not unfit, but not a good look either.
Z - Too 2000s corporate urban. Also brings sleeping to mind. Could be a positive for how sleek it sounds though.
P - Peepee funny. At the very least it aligns with Elon's track record.
V - "The V-Card". Perhaps fitting, but not good for profits.
D - "She wants the D". Also makes it seem Disney-affiliated.
S/J - Often used to express sarcasm, makes the site seem insincere. Tied.
G - Even after going to bat for W, "gee!" would sound way too silly
L - Negative Twitter terminology. Unpronounceable in some dialects.
H - Sounds a lot like "hate" when said on it's own - Elon may love that, but it's bad for profits.
Q - Would be one of the better ones to use for its uncommon nature and allusions to "questions" - if not for a certain conspiracy.
K - Also associated with a hate group, but without the benefits Q has.
F - One of the two letters that is universally accepted to always stand for another, and it's not a good look
N - Same as F, but a much worse look.
X - You already know the negative online implications of "X", Elon, and now you're just another one.

The more I read from Sakurai, the more I realise that I genuinely do not like this man, in a way that goes beyond simply "I disagree with his game design philosophy". Seems to have a pretty huge ego, loves to yap on about "everything he goes through", and responds to criticism (even the criticisms I disagree with, like those of clones) incredibly poorly whenever he choses to do so.

Trying to convince someone who believes opinions are set in stone that it isn't worth trying to get something as comically impossible as a non-major fighting game with active quickplay - all the while, talk of a real world tragic shooting plays out in the distance. How delightful!/s.

The "Waluigi was just created to be Wario's sports partner" argument is so funny now I think about it - because that would make him one of the only major Mario characters ever to be created to serve a diegetic in-universe purpose and not around some kind of gameplay functionality

I think the best fan theories are on the opposite sides of the spectrum - either really inconsequential and easily-disproven but cute single-sentence stuff ("Donkey is from Pleasure Island", "Moe intentionally overreacts to prank calls to make Bart happy"), or elaborate, horrific-to-the-point-of-parody motives given to otherwise inconsequential characters (literally anything the Theorizer puts out, MatPat's recent Goldfish theory) - anything inbetween or made with the actual intent of serious speculation is just garbo.
