I feel that "Microsoft Smash" and "Sega Smash" rosters often tend to just be Rare and Sonic rosters made by people who have never once considered the posibility of a non-crossover platform fighter.

It's kind of surprising how many times Wart has been portrayed as a friendly or otherwise non-malicious figure - like for any other kid friendly villain or rival it would be practically inevitable (you don't really get Tom & Jerry T-shirts where they're angrily grimacing at one another) - but for Wart they may as well be a majority of his appearances.

Back in 1989, a company named Nexoft was making Super Mario themed greeting cards. They were pretty interesting, Nexoft created original art for these cards. What’s really interesting though, is that they usually depicted Wart as somewhat of a friend. pic.twitter.com/xqWtZbPbxN

OK, maybe that last one isn't exactly as protagonistic as the others...
I made a cartoons-only Multiversus roster yesterday

and just now I decided to modify it a tiny bit, and for the fun of it I kinda want to go through the thought process of these 5 character changes

- Rosie: George provides pretty good moveset potential as a man of the future, but Rosie is a robotic maid - there aren't any robots on the roster (though there are tech users), and a maid fighter sounds extremely fun. Additionally she's an extra female fighter.
- Wakko alone: The Warners are slapstick team players and this is already a team game. The PPGs already have a trio tag-team mechanic and fit it way better thanks to their small size and flight abilities. Wakko was chosen since he has the most running gags of his own. (and is also my favourite)
- Ed, Edd, n' Eddy as a trio: The Eds are known to bicker and fight, which makes them a little more unique from the PPGs compared to the Warners, while having roughly the same size (and an extra member) distinguishes them from Tom & Jerry - that being said if this were just CN I'd want the Eds to be seperate
- Carl: I have never seen Aqua Teen so there may be something I'm missing, but the main 3 characters all strike me as super hard to adapt into a fighting game body-wise - but not in the fun way. Frylock's arms come out his head, Master Shake has stubby hands and no arms, and Meatwad is... a meatball.
- Pim alone: I felt I needed another small-bodied fighter, and in a fighting context being a duo wouldn't provide as much to the Smiling Friends as it would the other duos and trios in the game
When I was first making the roster I was also considering Baba Louie instead of Quick Draw McGraw for memes' sake, but an out-of-context voice clip from a radio show that most people don't even realise is tied to the character doesn't exactly give as much to work with as a Dragon Ball parody. I also had planned to include McWolf, but realised that outside of his role in Red Hot Riding Hood he's a pretty forgettable generic cartoon villain so I opted for the subject of his awooga-ing herself instead.
Even though the song jobs for the Mario Smash threads have been really hard to find a good system for, the songlists thus far have been really good - the only song I have any misgivings about the inclusion of is World Bowser for Bowser's Castle, not because it's a bad song but just because I feel it's not fit for this specific stage. That being said, I feel we'll eventually add a stage it's more fit for that song to go on. (speaking of which, I've gotta start documenting which stages and songs were added when so I can say which songs can be moved over to which stages)
If I were making Melee, I would've removed the boat portion of Rainbow Cruise and called it "Hop! Hop! Donut Lifts" then let Yoshi's Island be a Mario stage.
the good timeline

Mario Tennis Aces has the best Mario roster in recent memory IMO.
I like to think the new dragon Pokémon is Applin's Darwinian evolution.
The reason you only see Bigfoot recorded on shaky, low quality cameras is because he's an avid supporter of artists in poverty.
Getting mixed messages here - any double negatives I'm glossing over? Or is that the point?
I was looking up Fox Interactive Games to find out what gaming IPs Disney owns, I found out they released a series of sports games called "Actua" - which is likely the most savage(ly stupid) name a game franchise has been christened with.
The best Game/Film/Food Theory videos are the ones where MatPat doesn't even make theories and just recounts obscure facts with a bit of speculation thrown in - his Finding Nemo lawsuit video and the majority of Food Theory's videos for example.
On the Mario Smash thread we're submitting more reskinned stages and multiplayer modes - as well as voting on Wario's alternate costumes. If you have an idea for an alternate look for Peach's Castle 64; Figure-8 Circuit; or Golden Plains, now's your chance!
SmashBoards has created: Super Mario Smash Bros!
Music voting has closed for Cap Kingdom and Luigi's Mansion Cap Kingdom's tracks are two remixes of Bonneton, Horror Land, and Crescent Moon Village Luigi's Mansion has GCN/DS Luigi's Mansion locked in, but behind it a mega-draw of 5 songs - therefore I will be doing another elimination poll...

A retro DOS Doom stage would be so cool in Smash, but I heavily doubt they'd do that until Doomguy is a veteran getting his second stage.
I haven't seen much talk about NFTs in a while.
Good outcome: Corporations have figured out people don't like them
Bad outcome: I've become desensitized
Worst outcome: Corporations are rebranding NFTs to sneak them under our noses
One gimmick I think would be super cool in a platform fighter is a fighter who can be customised on on the fly - like, press Down B and a small menu pops up to switch your Up, Side or Neutral B individually as opposed to a regular stance fighter.
oh god damn it the new pokemon game is open world
what's he doing he's making the wrong face
pokemon scarlet overkill
Trying to get the music jobs in Mario Smash Bros. to work has been hell - hopefully lumping submissions as lists to be voted on will help.
I don't think the negotiations required to get Doug in NASB would be as steep as people say, but they wouldn't really be worth it either.
I think it's very likely that 7 Grand Dad will be referenced in some form if Fred Flintstone gets into Multiversus, but it won't be his entire moveset like Shaggy's memes are - the whole Vinesauce/SiIvaGunner stuff, while not exactly "underground" by any stretch of the word, is pretty niche compared to Chungus or UI Shaggy. A taunt or costume feels like perfect Grand territory.
The customisation options in PSASBR were really cool - especially the minions.
If KFC_ES became the norm for brand twitters, that would prove to me that capitalism can work.
I made this box art a few days ago, with the basic idea being "Nintendo's first multiplat game". Went for simplicity compared to my usual mock-up graphic design stuff, since "Mario on PlayStation" is really more than enough of a selling factor.
I feel Knuckles is probably the least divisive possible Smash pick, at least within the Western Smash community - like, would anybody actually object to Knuckles in Smash? I can see Adventure/Dark-era fans not wanting Tails because of "classic bias", or others not wanting Eggman because he's not a cool furry with a stylish 'tude or his similarities to Porky, but Knuckles is a character I don't think many people actively dislike and the only reason - valid or otherwise - I could imagine opposition to his inclusion is from first party devotees.
I must say, it's kinda ironic that one of the biggest gaming IPs Microsoft owns now has "crash" in the name.
I don't know why Disney Speedstorm went for the edgy approach - these aren't the sort of cars I'd expect Sulley or Mulan to race in.
I kinda like the idea of Funko Pops on paper: get the license to a ton of characters, and simplify them to a unified design for figures that can be displayed together no matter how different they are. I just wish that unified design wasn't ugly as hell.
The Lionsgate Pinocchio could really use this recent "professional voice actors getting less credit" controversy to its advantage if they wanted to - put "FEATURING TOM KENNY!" in big letters on your poster/DVD cover, get the attention of the SpongeBob fans and the voice acting fans at once.
If NASB gets an AT equivalent I feel they should function like Smash 64 Poké Balls where they have one attack they perform one or two times then disappear instead of the more fully-functional mini-fighters ATs are - I feel that'd fit the fast pace better.
NASB Hidden Temple is live! Singles matches start in 2 hours.
I would happily trade all of the characters I wanted in Smash who got in (Duck Hunt, Daisy, K. Rool, Pac-Man, Miis) for a reduced offline input lag.
I feel 95 would be the best Windows startup to be Clippy's victory theme - XP is too short, 98 doesn't have as much of a tune to it, and while ME I feel is the most like a Smash victory theme, it's also... ME. -
