I had NES Punch-Out on my 3DS as a kid, and I had heard the original version had a real world boxer in it, so I looked it up and jumped out of my skin when I saw the 8-bit Mike Tyson jumpscare.

Unironically let Game Freak make Smash. They make banger platformers and understand their competitive community a lot better than the Smash team.
One thing that annoys me a little is when people have a mentality that basically amounts to "this person made something I like, so they must naturally have the same tastes and standards as me" - that may not be the best way to put it, but basically either A. feeling betrayed or upset (even mildly or jokingly) that a creator has expressed love for something you dislike or vice versa - see the replies to Kojima's Minions tweet - or B. assuming any design decision you disagree with was inherently a corporate choice or out of the artists' hands - see the constant moaning about Rare's shift in direction under Microsoft from Nintendo fans since 2002.
Even though I liked the idea a lot at the time, SSBU ending on a history character like Space Invader or an Atari rep wasn't really a good idea - even disregarding that Smash fans have an aversion to any game released before the late 90s, it wouldn't be earned like G&W in Melee was given SSBU isn't really a good "gaming history museum" in the way Melee and Brawl were "Nintendo museums". Sora on the other hand does feel earned given how much SSBU focused on fan picks - even if I disagree with that approach.
How could I forget? Today's the day!
why does amy sound like johnny 2 by 4 in frontiers
I don't really like the idea of Bentley Bear in Smash that much compared to other potential Atari reps, mostly because I feel he has too much of a personality/theme to him and it wouldn't make sense for him to pull out space or high fantasy-themed props, let alone such props with a retro aesthetic. It's kinda like making the wolf from Egg the Game & Watch rep instead of a generic silhouette, sure: the wolf has way more personality and is much more striking to the eye, but he also has a specific theme that doesn't blend well with being lifted up by firemen or transforming into an octopus - in a similar way, I feel Bentley's Disney-esque kiddie fantasy aesthetic wouldn't work well with showcasing all of Atari's lineup in the way a cube with an arrow or a triangle that shoots lasers would.
As DriDim goes on the franchises prompts are probably gonna get way more specific - which was what happened with SMSB too (early prompts being on the line of "Submit a Yoshi character" while later prompts were more akin to "Submit a clone of a Melee high tier")
It'd really suck if the only Microsoft content we got on Switch after Ori was just Minecraft and Rare.
Smash debates be like "Who's more iconic? Lara Croft or the Trillionage Sprout?"
There was a problem fetching the tweet
I have never made Ryu do a hadouken in a non-Smash game, but for some reason being able to do one with a single button in Smash just seems wrong.
if skyrim has a stage but not a character in infinite that means you can play the buck bumble theme while fighting atop a dragon,
I got the Atari 50 compilation.
Tempest 2000 slaps.
I do wonder why Lip's Theme was on PictoChat in Brawl instead of the Yoshi's Island stage - even if you ignore that Tetris Attack exists, the song fits way better on YI aesthetically and YI is pretty similar aesthetically to Lip's home in Panel De Pon. Would've gone well on Green Greens too, but Brawl was really weird about Melee stages.
Even as a non-Minecraft enjoyer, a second Minecraft rep is one of the most overlooked "general series newcomer" categories. Shouldn't happen before Chief or another homegrown Xbox character though.
I don't get why Smash fans are so obsessed with having a villain from every series, and also why the villains discussed are always mains instead of mini-bosses or goons.
Grassy plains make up roughly 20% of SSBU's stagelist - and that's not even including partially grassy stages like Battlefield and Temple, background grass like Great Plateau or Rainbow Cruise, or Astroturfed grass like the Pokémon Stadiums.
jk rowling accidentally giving daniel radcliffe basic empathy when creating him.
So, which character would be the profile picture of the Drifting Dimensions Leaks Twitter account? I'm betting on Pooka.
If I did end up doing an SSBU sequel thread, I probably would've done like 2 third party side-over-protag jobs in the base game alone.
this song is such an awesome way to start every morning
Banjo-Threeie may have been the most catastrophic "implies the existence of..." joke in human history
I don't understand why gamers have such a hard time comprehending (or at least accepting) episodic cartoon storytelling.
sorry for another ping but oh my God it looks like shaun the sheep from a distance

Put Handsome Squidward in NASB and make his moveset as derivative of Captain Falcon as Orka in Slap City is of Little Mac.
Though, if the game had throw animations I'd also suggest giving him Zero Suit Samus' down throw.
It looks like a plate of oatmeal - koalaty.
I feel the Crash 4 approach of pretending to throw out the bad instalments through the plot while secretly taking a lot of ideas nested within those titles is probably the ideal approach to doing a reboot for a franchise that's considered to have gone downhill - gaming or otherwise.
The Wii Motion Sensor Bar would actually be a kinda rad Smash fighter, it'd be really wide but very short (though it would have to be made a bit taller for balancing - maybe put on a stand?). I could imagine it having a (near-)invisible projectile.
ru slime warning not a goosebumps book gooflumps this spoof is just a goof buy 2 thats it chunks city eat cheese and barf an unauthorized parody a bullseye book by random house
Now, we wait 10 years for Sonic Colours to become nostalgic to late-20-somethings so Sonic can be wacky funny dum dum again.
Just bought all the Dairy Milk buttons flavours (except mint, ew) and put them all in a single bowl, now I wait for it to cool in the fridge...
OK, so when people ask for real-world businessman Reggie Fils-Aime in Smash Bros they're "creative" and "hype", but when I ask for real-world businessman Ted Turner in Multiversus I'm "insane" and "trying to provoke people"?
I had a dream where I was watching a movie where the snarky CGI M&Ms went to war with the happy-go-lucky cel-animated M&Ms from the 70s, and I was the only person in the entire cinema who understood the concept so I had to keep whispering to the person next to me "no, they changed the mascots in the 90s!" - they still couldn't comprehend it and had to keep asking me.
Whenever a wildly big crossover is announced, the first fan theories to come out are always "The Great Googly Moogly, the egotistical 'protagonist' from the 1989 unlicensed Australia-exclusive Atari Lynx game The Great Googly Moogly's Chess and Checkers, widely considered the worst chess video game ever made, is the villain because he was mad he never got the sequel promised in his game's 100% ending"
If another game tries the PSASBR approach of "crossover stages", I think I wouldn't want the stages to transform but rather be a combined universe design at all times. Might be hard to pull off without looking cluttered though.
People will say "Stop changing the original Japanese text!" and then shout "Flanderisation!" when they finally get the pure-author-intent vision.
Pic unrelated.
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing gaslit an entire generation into thinking Billy Hatcher is an A-list Sega IP, and I couldn't be more grateful -
