Mario merchandise is insane because - despite inherently having to take it safe on virtue of being merchandise - it draws way deeper cuts than most of the sports games do

Even though it's what most of his support was based on pre-reveal, a Pac-Man World based Pac-Man would've been way less interesting than the Pac-Man we got.
I don't get why people want ninja Impa or Skull Kid over elderly Impa or Majora's Mask alone - might just be that I look to body shape in a fighter above canon powers, but an old mage and shapeshifting mess of abstract limbs strikes me as much more appealing than another ninja or another magic child.
I love the hilariously obscure picks in NASB RTC becasue the predictions round is literally just debating decimals of zero.
It's funny that the defensive minority of Ultimate's fanbase will say "Melee fans don't care about the other Smash games!" as if they care about 64 or Wii U.
what does this image mean
I honestly really appreciate that Namco don't use synthwave aesthetics to promote Pac-Man often - it'd be really easy to do that given that Pac-Man's maze is a product of the 80s neon style that eventually mutated into synthwave, but they generally choose something a bit more colourful and vibrant instead.
It is absolutely astonishing how much of a grip SiIvaGunner had on meme culture at one point, like 2016-to-2018 almost every major meme had some kind of connection, direct or in-, to SiIvaGunner or its staff - like, how does a channel so fundamentally, conceptually niche and specific get such a big footprint?

I don't know why prefering things for nostalgia is so frowned upon - like, yeah, someone who grew up in the 90s or 2000s is obviously going to prefer children's games and cartoons from the 90s or 2000s over children's games and cartoons from a later era. You can make all the arguments in the world for how media for children should be taken more seriously and they'd mostly be valid, but the reality is that very few grown adults will really want to - let alone - be that up to speed on the current state of the Nicktoons lineup. It's different when there's an attempt at legitimate analysis and discussion, but there's nothing wrong with just having Gen 1 as your favourite Pokémon gen or thinking of Cow & Chicken as superior to Steven Universe, and is kinda just the natural opinion most people will form if they were raised on the earlier works and grew out of kids' media - not to mention that even without nostalgia there are valid reasons to prefer a lot of these earlier works over their later counterparts (and yes, that includes Pokémon Gen 1)
I think Smash has two major problems holding it back, but weirdly enough they are in and of themselves opposites?
- Smash takes itself too seriously - it builds up even its smallest additions as a bigger deal than they should be; rarely branches out into further merchandise or spin-offs; uses overly dramatic theming unfit for the type of game it is even competitively; and refuses to be self-aware about its fundamental absurdity even when representing comical and "meta" series like WarioWare and Banjo-Kazooie.
- Smash doesn't take itself seriously enough - it only pays lip service to competitive players at best; adds characters based mostly on fan demand and marketability instead of moveset or their place in an "ultimate crossover"; juxtaposes its dramatic story mode with wacky, abstract battles based on promotional PNGs from the 90s; and has strange mechanics meant to give a less skilled player the upper hand that can bleed into competitive play.
here is my nasb revamp to make spogebob more accurate to the source material
when you press down b the battle stops to play the entire "hall monitor" episode
It's been 4 days and Venus still hasn't given me an explanation for why he won't allow Clippy.
what were they thinking making it impossible to give course worlds names in mario maker 2
PAC-MAN IN FORTNITE WHAT
It's kinda interesting how most Multiversus hype I've seen has been "look at this cool detail/reference!" rather than "look at this cool technique/move!" - nothing wrong with that, but it really does confirm my suspicion that the drop in NASB interest isn't because it's a low quality product but just that it attracted an audience it wasn't aiming for.
We are submitting clones from the RPG games and a 2010s spin off stage!

When I make movesets my process is often
- What is this character's single most iconic ability or trait?
- What playstyle and attributes would that ability or trait fit with?
- What other moves can I make that can flow well with that move?
- How do I theme those moves to fit the fighter, and how can those themes enhance the moves?
- Birdo's most iconic ability is shooting eggs out of her mouth
- Since the eggs can be stood on in Mario 2, Birdo's moves should provide different movement options - as a dinosaur, it makes sense for her to be heavyweight and slow
- As a fighter with enough movement options as is, Birdo should have a non-offensive Up B; a move that propells her backwards with nose suction; and an offensive move that the Up B goes into
- Birdo's Up B could be a parallel to Yoshi's Side B, and given the origins in Story that move could also be chargable. If Birdo's going to have an inhale move, she should follow it up with a kiss since she's a feminine character. On the topic of femininity, how about being able to cancel the Up B into a ballerina drill attack, and in turn make it a multihit?
Reminder that we are submitting movesets and alts for Birdo + animations for Klump and Captain Syrup, and voting on accessory uses! We also have a fighter job coming up tomorrow due to the schedule change

why do so many animation-related youtube videos use that distracting shakey cam. its literally jangling keys even matpat doesn't go that far
Both Microsoft characters adding Windows content in the Bonus DLC thread is based (even if one was an automatic win on virtue of no other submissions)
Oh my god, imagine if a Simpsons fighting game was called "The Simpsons: Bonestorm"

Did you know that HBO Max installs potentially unwanted software on your computer if you watch certain direct-to-DVD Scooby-Doo films? Search "Scooby-Doo PUP Computer" for more info!
There is just something significantly more special about seeing a classic character's new look for the first time through a still JPG on a blog post than there is to some elongated fully-animated reveal with teases and ****.
It's kinda weird how many times the appropriateness of references to characters who have comitted suicide has come up in the Infinite thread. Of all the perpetual Infinite arguments, that is by far the weirdest - but not really in the funny way that Clippy and such are.
I've been thinking of speeding up the pace on SMSB - it's been really hard coming up with jobs to fill Saturday and Tuesday through Thursday, and given how popular the fighter sub jobs tend to be that may attract people to submit more for non-fighter and fighter-related jobs.
i cant believe the annoying orange met the snorks
There was a problem fetching the tweet
One mine for meta-stories of the Wreck-It Ralph/Roger Rabbit variety I think hasn't been looked into enough is commercials - you could make a really funny yet poignant social commentary about capitalism by using self-aware ad mascots, maybe play into how a lot of kids would overthink dark humour-based commercials (especially for food) or something to that extent
That being said, it'd pretty much have to use entirely original mascots with no cameos - maybe a few mascots who fell into the public domain after their companies went defunct but that's about it.
I wonder, are any of you interested by this concept for a platform fighter control scheme? Basically, the left joystick is used for movement - including jumping - while the right stick is used for input directions, which would then allow for things like seperate down and crouch attacks; directional crouch attacks; directional dash attacks, reverse-momentum moves without a strafe or unturning jump; so on. There'd probably be a "simple mode", especially if it were a crossover and/or licensed game.
If, by some miracle/disaster/both, Goku got in NASB, I think it should be Kid Goku instead of adult Goku.
I gotta rewatch the Harry Hill movie sometime.
It really annoys me how Smash fans are actively opposed to creative liberties and original move concepts.
I'm honestly surprised it took until Steve to get a pixel art character in Smash. There have been tons of characters at least an alt would fit beautifully for.

I've been using the random button on a Pokémon fusion generator and GOD I HATE THIS THING. Its smug aura mocks me and now all you will have to see it too.
