Smash 4 Wii U was Ganondorf at his most goofy looking.

Roy differs from other Fire Emblem protagonists by the fact his father is not dead in his game. Lilina on the other hand had blue hair and a dead father.
I’m surprised there is no Fire Emblem Engage spirits in the final batch.
The Octolings are a common choice when it comes to discussions of future Echo Fighters, but considering how successful both Splatoon 2 and 3 are, selling around 13.6 and 11.7 million copies respectively, I can see them being playable semi-clone characters in the next Smash game.
You’ve heard of “Everyone is Here!”, now get ready for “Nobody is Here!”
As far as missing Nintendo characters in Smash, Toad is the strangest omission. But will he ever be playable in a Smash game?
For a character that was a pretty prominent part of the plot of Fire Emblem 1 (and its remake Shadow Dragon), Malledus (this guy) doesn’t really get talked about that much. He has far more screen time than any of the playable characters in Shadow Dragon with the natural exception of Marth.
Melee was released in the same year the GameCube launched, 2001. Brawl was originally going to release in 2007 before being delayed, and the Wii launched in 2006. Smash Ultimate released a year after the Switch launched in 2017. However Smash 4 released in 2014, 2 years after the Wii U launched and 3 after the 3DS launched.
Taking all these into factor, it would make sense that the next Smash game would be released a year after the next Nintendo console launches due to precedence. So if the next console releases in 2025, it might take two more years before the next Smash releases and maybe this time next year the next Smash game will be announced.
Never forget the “Hat Ken” accusations
went through when he was first confirmed as a playable character.
It seems that the Super Mario RPG remake has sold about 3.14 million copies.
Old but interesting video on zoners in Smash and why they get hate. As stated in the video, one way to help characters who struggle against zoners is to give frames of projectile invincibility to certain moves. For example, Ganondorf’s Flame Choke and Ike’s Quick Draw could be good candidates.
If Permadeath is going to continue to have a narrative impact in future Fire Emblem games, the most ideal way to handle it in terms of plot relevance is to male every single character who is plot important, to the point where their deaths would need massive script changes to account for, either playable characters that give you a Game Over if they die or NPCs. For example, if there are six characters on the ally side that are vital to the plot besides the main lord, one of them could be made a playable character that gives you a Game Over if their HP reaches 0 and the rest can be non-playable.
If Rare was still with Nintendo, we'd most likely see Joanna Dark, Banjo & Kazooie and Rash as playable characters in Brawl and Gruntilda in Ultimate.
I did not expect to see Hades, WBSC eBASEBALL: POWER PROS and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim to be part of a spirit event. Since they are third party franchises, I would have not expected Nintendo to go through the effort of gaining licensing rights just for bonus spirit events.
It’s always weird to me that Luigi has such a poor air speed in Smash.
Still one of my favourite Smash skits
This is an interesting redesign of Lucario
The real reason why so many characters introduced in Fire Emblem 7 didn’t appear in Fire Emblem 6 is simply because they didn’t exist yet and were created for the prequel, but I just prefer an in-universe headcanon that almost all of them died by the end of FE7 since that is the simplest explanation from an in-universe perspective.
It’s great to see that both Golden Sun games are coming on the 17th January.
As the Switch port of Captain Toad sold over 2 million copies, I think there is a good chance that there will be a sequel planned for the next Nintendo console.
It seems Sakurai is going to be finished with his channel this year. What next will he work on after that?
Shuma-Gorath was a weird and interesting addition to the Marvel vs. series. I can only imagine the reaction of people who first knew of him through Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter.
As far as classic NES-era third-party characters go, Bomberman and Ryu Hayabusa would definitely make sense for the next Smash game.
Around this time 10 years ago, Let It Go was taking the world by storm. Coincidentally, was also the most recently announced newcomer at that time for Smash 4.
Samus with a more DLC moveset.
This is a very interesting Lyn character analysis
People have been speculating on the possibility of a Ultimate Deluxe for the next console, but, personally, the reason I think it is nearly impossible to happen is that Nintendo would decide that a brand new Smash game would be more marketable than a Deluxe version of Ultimate.
I like the CGI in Chainsaw Man.
How would Fire Emblem fans react if permadeath remains as a mechanic in future games but its effect was removed from the narrative, meaning no playable character could die through gameplay anymore?
That scene from Season 3 of Legend of Korra is still jaw-dropping even after all these years.
There is a thing that Brawl managed to achieve that other Smash games didn't - somehow make Captain Falcon a bottom tier character.
Well that's certainly not the kind of reaction you'd expect to see from someone learning that their grandson died.
Here are some good music from KIrby and the Forgotten Land for the next Smash game.
Excessive boss retreating can be silly. Retreating once isn't that big of a deal, but it does get hilariously ridiculous when the same boss character retreats multiple times.
Funnyly enough, a boss retreating to fight another day seems less weird to me than a player character retreating when their HP drops to zero and never being playable again (despite their injury clearly not being that significant enough to have any effect on the custcenes these characters are in) wheras other playable characters just dies. I get the logic that these "retreaters" get plot armour due to their plot significance, but I don't see why they can't be used again after eventually recovering from their injuries a couple of chapters later (especially since their injuries aren't that fatal). Though if every single playable non-Lord playable character got the same treatment, it would at least be more consistent).
In terms of story-relevant characters on the players side, I feel like the most ideal way to handle these characters is to make the playable characters that are truly relevant enough to need massive rewrites, as their deaths would fundamentally change the story being told, characters that automatically gives you a Game Over if the die (2,3 or even 4 characters besides the main Lord can be given this treatment). Any other characters that could have cutscene relevance on the playable characters side can be written around (by having any cutscene they have with the main characters have an somwhat different version written. If they do contribute something plot significance, that can be taken over by a different character if said character died or it could just be ommitted depending on how important it to the plot) or be just NPCs, either permanent ones or ones that only becomes playable after they don't need to be alive to kep the story functional. Another thing that can be done is to make plot-relevant playable characters similar to FE6 Merlinus (where they always come back no matter how many times they "die").
So the story cutscenes revolving around a mix of units that gets you Game Over if the die and important ally NPCs would be the most ideal.
I still don’t understand why perfect pivoting was removed in Ultimate.
Certainly some interesting voice directions for this game. You can especially feel the strong emotional investment Karen’s VA had in this script, pouring her heart out to give a delivery that is sure to stick in the mind of gamers for generations.
I like the theme song for TMNT 2003
Every single playable character in Smash so far either is from a Japanese franchise or from a franchise that had significant Japanese popularity (Even‘s first game sold around 400k in Japan which was decent). What I’m saying is that I think this trend will eventually be broken with a non-Japanese third-party character from a franchise that never had that much presence in Japan. Who it could be? Who knows. -
