Blue: IP holder willingness to give licensed games good budgets
Red: Game developer passion for the source material in licensed games
On a similar note to my last post, I feel the way Smash fans discuss stages should be the same way they discuss characters. People can admit stages have too many gimmicks, were absurd choices, are good overall but bogged down by a major hazard, or don't make enough needed changes from the source material, I don't understand why you don't tend to hear the same sort of discussion about fighters. Pretty much the only critcisms I see of moveset design from non-competitive players is "where ganon volley" "where wario shoulder why wario fart" and "why sonic two spin dashes", everything else is chalked down to either a skill issue or inherently good on virtue of being something from the origin game - even though I can tell you for a fact poor moveset design effects casual items-on play just as much as it does competitive play (and if it didn't that'd just further justify designing movesets with comp. play in mind first and foremost)
It's often hard to criticise Smash's roster as a whole because people tend to assume you're just upset your specific most wanted didn't get in
"This roster aims too much towards Japanese fans" =/= "Where's Crash Bandicoot?"
"This roster aims too much towards Western fans" =/= "Where's Power Pro?"
"Nintendo needs to have a smaller hold on the roster" =/= "Where's Kratos?"
"The focus needs to go back to Nintendo" =/= "Where's Porky?"
"Smash should focus on more modern titles" =/= "Where's Jonesy?"
"Smash should focus on historic games" =/= "Where's Geno?!"
If you want to introduce a brief dark element into your cute game, that is fine, but don't be surprised when people begin to identify the game solely as "car crash coma dream game" or "elephant murder game".
I'm just saying, it is actually extremely likely Big Chungus will be in Multiversus - probably more likely than any pre-2010s non-PPG CN character.
Cloud and Sephiroth's expies in Multiversus.
Honestly, the only reasons I can see to make Ms. Pac-Man an echo instead of just an alt are the bonus fruit and possibly her high heels being a problem for the animations/skeleton. (though even then high heels are an inconsistent thing within her many designs they could leave out should they need) All things considered though, I think I'd like an Isabelle-esque semi-clone Ms. Pac-Man.
I don't know who at Cartoon Network corporate thought "yes, let's use ominous techo music for our Flintstones rerun channel" but I want to thank them.
This year Big Chungus will have lasted longer than the confederacy.
Sonic Colours Ultimate has arrived, let's see if it's as bad as it was at launch.
This is absolutely the weirdest case of "ponies in the reccomended" I've ever had.
I can't double post to tell people that care, but I added a poll of characters I see requested a lot. Could you check it out?
Edit: Sorry a lot of your characters were left out. It was probably my first time seeing them requested is why.
I don't know how to properly describe it, but I feel people assign way too much imaginary psychology to opponents in online games - disconnect after a loss, you're salty; disconnect after a win, you're smug
I've always found it funny how the stereotypical music of a slapstick cartoon is super wacky, fast-paced music with spring sound samples and frequent use of "Shave and a Haircut", but Looney Tunes/Tom & Jerry cartoons tended to have stuff like Greensleeves as the BGM
this is hyperbole i am aware that greensleeves is a completely different type of classical composition from the types used for theatrical cartoons
When humanity finally slows down climate change to the point where it's no longer a threat, stores will be littered with wacky novelty shirts like "I SURVIVED GLOBAL WARMING" and "CLIMATE CHANGE WORLD TOUR 1985 TO 2038", possibly enough crap to restart the cycle.
Number 15: Krusty Krab Fin Seaweed
The last thing you'd want in your Krusty Krab Krabby Patty is someone else's fin fungus, but as it turns out that might be what you get
Damn, Butch Hartman's influence is really rubbing off on Tara Strong...
I feel attempts at making rosters for "a Microsoft version of Smash" almost always have absurd Rare bias.
So why does that one SpongeBob group image have a giant sign that says "DOWN!"?
I decided to bite the bullet and order Colours Ultimate - nobody's really been talking about it post-patch but it seems all the seizure stuff is gone at least.
Google Docs files really like to bump themselves on Google Drive's latest filter for some reason
I would watch this as a movie
Beyond Melee justifying the removal of Whispy's wind from Dream Land in-universe by turning it into an industrial area where all the trees are dead is grade A dark humour
Oh god, if Clippy and Hatsune Miku are elegible for Smash, that means a Bored Ape is too...
Never mind, I'm closing the "non-game technology for Smash" bag of worms.
jk i still want clippy

I have no clue why anyone would call 64 worse than Brawl - I can understand calling it worse than Ultimate, 3DS, or Wii U at least, but not Brawl.
Since Winnie the Pooh is now in the public domain, that theoretically means that, if Tigger and elements originating from the Disney adaptations were removed, someone could sell a remake of Winnie the Pooh's Home Run Derby as a paid product? Surely the gameplay and name is too generic to trademark, right?
Considering that Sonic is unpopular in Japan, I have to wonder why they still develop the games in-house at Sega Japan instead of outsourcing them to studios in countries where Sonic's cultural influence is more felt.
"I don't wanna name names but..."
Name you didn't want to name:
Dragaux and Rabbid Peach are the only Switch-introduced 1st party characters I'd be happy about in Smash.
The Credits 2 theme from CN PTE XL slaps way harder than it has any right to.
I don't think any one game series has had a worse history in box art than Bubble Bobble and Bust-A-Move. -
