The more I go down the "Sonic in unpopular in Japan" rabbithole, the more "oof" it gets.

This is the most viewed video I found while YouTube searching Sonic's (full) Japanese name that isn't either English made with Japanese tags or Japanese made with an English localised title and description (the latter of which there was only one of for the full name, a little more showed up with just "Sonic", but still not much)

2.3 Million.

Oof.

Usually other platform fighters are seen as "substitutes" for an official Smash role, but in the case of Sonic people pretty much only want his movie counterpart in NASB because of how poorly he was handled in Brawl. Even though Sonic isn't topping (or even making) the fan polls or anything, he does still come up in discussion a lot more than other non-Nick Paramount properties and I imagine he wouldn't even be considered in passing by the NASB fandom if he weren't already in Smash. (or, of course, treated with more respect there)

Speaking of ragtime, they should add a Brewster's Roost stage to Smash for the sole purpose of having a Western bar fight-style Animal Crossing ragtime remix made for it.

While I like that Banjo is in Smash, (despite his moveset not being well executed) it also feels extremely ill-advised for a game building itself up as a "celebration of gaming" to skip over Master Chief or Marcus Fenix for Banjo.

I'm thinking perhaps 2 fighter subs every week until around 35 or so is achieved, and then the remaining 15 or so are submitted once every (other?) week? does that sound fair, or too fast? I want this thread to move quickly, but also not end in a flash. I like that. Assuming the rest of the...

On the reaction thread, not only was there a triple ninja, but two of the posts on that ninja were reacting to the same post with a comment about The Dover Boys.

I love it when in-universe fictional characters are playable in games based on established IP, not like a guy in a costume or anything, but just... that character exists now. Nobody questions it. I especially like this in crossovers.

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 9, 2022

It's kinda funny how to a lot of people, Squirtle and Ivysaur are just "the boring attachments to Charizard", but I see Charizard more as the "boring attachment to Squirtle and Ivysaur."

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 9, 2022

I like the idea of having a game character in what is otherwise a cartoon crossover linked only by origin company/brand, but Tak probably shouldn't be in NASB because... kinda... well... his show and games are... racist. No "kinda"s about it, Tak & the Power of Juju was racist. Not maliciously so per say, but certainly a relic best left in the past unless given HEAVY retoolong.

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 9, 2022

Lincoln Loud in NASB is kinda funny because I only chose to play him out of contrarianism - I have no attachment to his show and his defensive bait-and-punish/turtle playstyle is completely out of place with my stronger & more aggressive bruiser mains (Nigel; Helga; and Ren & Stimpy), but I saw people dissing Lincoln as "lame" and "for zoomers" pre-launch and knew I had to play him from there. Even though I'm terrible with him compared to the other 3 and would probably do better online by switching out his 4th wheel spot for CatDog or Reptar, I find him too fun to quit - his spacing based playstyle allows me to move around a lot, and movement in this game is utterly heavenly, like an ADHD platform fighting sugar rush.

Similarly to Pythra, I'm quite grateful for Min Min getting in Smash because of the punch to the gut she was - but her cautionary tale was less "don't get hyped for being advertised to" and moreso "source material accuracy and references aren't inherently good for moveset design", which is something I've seen a lot more people openly say after the SSBU DLC.

Nintendo starting an achievements service 2 decades late and having the first achievement literally be "play 80s Mario for at least a second" is the most Nintendo thing they could've done.

I find it so funny how Nintendo Directs, one of the most game-changing (for better or worse, probably the latter) PR moves in gaming history, began with Shrek singing Thriller.

I had a dream where an upcoming game called "Silk Song" was cancelled because its creator pissed into a public pool and posted a video online - however, "Hollow Knight: Silksong" was not cancelled and I was literally the only person in the entire world confused over the two games.

Is this a "challenge" or a "challenge"?

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 8, 2022

People praise Nintendo a lot for "not imitating their rivals" but honestly I think that's one of their biggest weaknesses. I want to see Nintendo have a go at their own Game Pass, produce remakes more often, make serious non-cardboard attempts at VR, so on.

I also think not always giving fans what they want, something often struck as a weakness of Nintendo, is one of their greatest strengths and attempting to go aganst it was why SSBU (DLC especially) turned out to be such a mess IMO.

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 8, 2022

Platform fighters should stop using token-and-cursor-based character select screens. It's a very small presentation gripe but it'd go a long way to make the genre seem like more than just "Smash copycats".

I you want it, i will make a fourth DLC pack foru your Smash Bros but it's a real gaming celebration idea, with 12 characters, and one of those are Duke Nukem.

Before the whole NASB mainstream falloff, I had no clue just how important Final Smashes specifically are to modern Smash fans. Like, I understand being disappointed by a lack of items as a whole, but the Smash Ball - to me at least - was always just another item, and one of the least fun of the lot at that.

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 8, 2022

People complain about "90s bias" in NASB but honestly it probably has the most era-balanced roster of any Nicktoons crossover - except maybe Kart Racers 2 - especially if you consider 90s shows that aired most of their run into the 2000s like CatDog and Thornberrys as 2000s shows. You could say the original Nicktoons Racing also has a really good era balance for its time, but there weren't really many eras at the time.
