    Tales of Symphonia feels more like you’re playing a mid 2000s TV Y7 cartoon like Avatar or Teen Titans (The latter, mostly thanks to Lloyd’s voice) and less like a complicated, story driven JRPG

    It’s because of this that it’s always felt weird seeing the characters with full-on anime designs instead of how they look in the game

    Imagine how it feel looking at Lloyd if he gets in Smash =P

    But which Teen Titans character had the same voice as Lloyd? I'm guessing Robin?

    It's funny to think about since if Lloyd get's in both Robin and Starfire's voice actors would be in the game being both Lloyd and Viridi respectively.

    So apparently a site said “Nintendo reportedly argues joycon drift isn’t a real problem or hasn’t caused anyone any inconvenience”

    I don’t buy that, though. Nintendo has already apologized for joycon drift and is repairing it. Besides, it says “reportedly” so in taking it with a grain of salt

    Does anyone have any information on this? What source originally reported it, and do you think it’s likely this happened?

    The only smash character it makes sense to say has a toxic playstyle is Piranha Plant... and not the reason people usually say “toxic playstyle”

    I'm not even sure what a toxic playstyle really is. I guess it's like a way to play the game disrespectfully? Even then it's kinda subjective, you could say any character is toxic if you didn't like them enough.
    And just curious, why piranha plant?

    The Side B, and I guess Joker’s side B too...

    It’s because they use poison. It’s a stupid pun

    Smash fans only have three jokes when talking about Steve:
    • Smash fans love miners
    • Steve can do weird things with blocks
    • You’re going to Minecraft
    If you want any original, funny jokes about something else from the Smash community, you’re out of luck
    Champion of Hyrule
    Steve is NOT too recent to have an influence on the game industry.
    Minecraft was released 11 years ago. In the gaming world that’s:

    • The difference between the year Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario 64 were released
    • When the Wii was still getting support from Nintendo
    • The year another Smash fighter, Bayonetta, debuted
    • The amount of years between the Gamecube and Wii U
    And a LOT more

    I’m not to keen on Sora in Smash, but not for the reason you might think,

    I don’t want him because of the sheer amount of hate he would get. That would basically start a “Smash fans civil war” worse than we’ve ever seen. There’s already way too many people who call die-hard Sora supporters “nostalgia blind” or “just people who want to mess up Smash by adding things that aren’t from games” and the amount of arguing that would ensue honestly scares me.
    It would be worse than Byleth, worse than pokemon sword and shield, and worse than paper mario. That would probably be the most frustrating debate the Smash community has ever had... And that’s saying alot

    I just think a floaty sword character with a fire spell would be annoying. But other than that I don't mind him.

    I can only think of a few characters that would cause backlash.

    Fire Emblem rep (we've had enough)
    Gen 8 rep (because pokeyman bad)
    Jonesy (because everyone hates Fortnite for fun)

    I'm not worried about Sora getting massive backlash unless Disney characters were to be included with him. Then I could maybe see some backlash coming.

    Every character will get backlash really. No way to avoid, might as well choose not to care. I mean, I didn't know how people would be mad at Steve when I saw the Live but here we are.
    Champion of Hyrule
    Okay, I’m inventing a new phrase, which I call “Newcomer Daze”

    This is to describe the weird feeling we get when a strange, somewhat gimmicky character is released in Smash, and they feel out of place.

    We’ve all had the feeling before, and I can practically guarantee everyone’s feeling it with Steve. Think about when Hero or Min Min were put in Smash and they felt out of place with their gimmicks. Even Joker, Terry, Byleth, and to some extent, BK felt a little off at first, but eventually the feeling went away.

    And that’s the thing about the feeling, it goes away. The DLC feels like a part of Smash now. Sure we can still remember the newcomer daze we’ve had, but we don’t feel that way anymore.

    Steve feels like he won’t fit in, but soon enough we won’t be able to imagine Smash without him
    Champion of Hyrule
    I really don’t think there’s any reason for Steve’s spirit board to include characters from other Microsoft games.
    Terry’s made sense because SNK games are tightly connected, and Terry is more popular in crossovers than his own game.
    It would just seem strange to me
    Champion of Hyrule
    Wait... Isn’t Steve now the first character in smash who debuted on PC? That’s pretty cool

    I think so. Steve is also technically the first 100% western origin character to make it into Smash as Diddy, K. Rool, and Dark Samus are all owned by Nintendo and Banjo & Kazooie was once owned by Nintendo when they had half a steak in Rare.

    Would the MSX (Snake) count as a PC?

    My thought process during the reveal:

    A fight on battlefield? Wait why’s Terry here? Is it another fighting game character? Scorpion? Sol Badguy?...

    Oh, I guess not... Wait, Sonic just KO’d Mario... is it a Sonic character!?!

    Oh... well Mario’s in a dark area now... hold on, darkness, Mario... King Boo!!?!

    HOLD UP... rattling noises?! Geno!?

    WAIT THAT WAS A MINECRAFT ZOMBIE GROAN HOLY SHI-

    I dunno if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but I really, REALLY don’t want or think a first party Smash character will be the next fighter. The only exception to this is a Gen 8 rep, which I would kinda be disappointed by

    Don’t get me wrong, there are a huge amount of characters from Nintendo that should make it in, but I would much rather have them in a Base game. Like a Zelda rep.

    I think the point of DLC is to get new companies and/or new series in Smash, and I believe it’s much more likely that we will get third parties or if it is a first party, someone from a game not already represented in Smash, or barely represented in Smash, like we got with Byleth and Min Min

    Lately I’ve been playing Final Fantasy X. Is it a good game?...

    No. It has to have gameplay to be a game

    Are you implying you don’t have to spend minutes on minutes with a command menu fighting a single boss

    Oh yeah, except for the bosses. Those take a LONG time.

    To be fair though, I actually did really enjoy what I’ve played of the game, it just has quite a bit of flaws

    Final Fantasy X still remains one of my most favorite in the series. Yes, it has some flaws but it’s still a solid and amazing game.

    I have a tip for people waiting for the next Smash newcomer. If sounds a bit weird but I think it’s a good tip:

    Stop thinking about Smash

    Like, take a break already! You don’t have to stop immediately, and you can still practice if you play competitively, but getting other things on your mind will certainly help. Get excited about other things, maybe play some other games instead and it will feel like no time passed at all when the next Smash newcomer is announced.

    When it comes to rereleasing older games, I would always prefer the original game without being remastered. Remasters are ideal for PS3-era games that basically just look like modern games, but with a lot worse quality.

    So for example, Super Mario 64 would in my opinion lose some of its charm and distinct look if it was remastered. Not to mention, some of the worlds like Rainbow Cruise would look really strange and feel out of place.

    Or look at Resident Evil 4, which looked more creepy thanks to the fog in certain places. Remasters of the game removes some of it, making the world feel bare.

    There are still some games that deserve remasters more than ports, but those are more exceptions. I want the classic look and feel of a game intact

    I think the ideal situation would be to have a remaster of the game, but have the original game always playable through the options menu, with a quick and easy swap between the two. Think something like the Wonder Boy remaster

    The amount of anger some people have for the 3D All-Stars collection. I’ve run into a lot of people who will call someone “ignorant,” “blind” or even something worse, just for owning the collection

    Yeah. I love Mario Galaxy and I want to try out the other ones, so it's no contest. Sure, I don't approve of the expiration date for digital versions, and the absence of Galaxy 2 is quite odd, but I love Mario games and I doubt that not purchasing 3D All-Stars would send a message to Nintendo in the slightest.

    So I've heard sunshine on Switch has really bad framerate issues. I then picked up 3D All-Stars, and didn't see any issues with Sunshine... at first. Halfway through the framerate suddenly dropped and stayed that way. It was awful, and so freakin' slow it was almost unplayable without getting nauseous. Has anyone else had any issues with the framerate? If Nintendo seriously noticed this issue allowed a game that runs this poorly, that would be really disappointing and awful.

    Any Smash Pokémon rep made after 2008 can’t be fun. All they know is be human-like, predictable moveset, charge they neutral special, evolve from starter, mega evolution final smash and die

    Greninja and Incineroar aren't bad y'know. Incineroar is a bit more finicky but Greninja is solid. Heavily popular, one of the main pokemon used in marketing and spin offs, etc. If you're talking Charizard and Lucario, they are fine as well. Also, Lucario and Greninja are the only charging neutral specials in Pokemon's smash reps (excluding Squirtles Water Gun). That's a whole ****load of stereotypes right there.

    I feel like for so many people, seeing everyone talk about how great something is, but having no interest in it or a way/enough time to experience it automatically turns into hate for that series and the fandom.
    That’s a huge problem, and please don’t let this happen to you
    Champion of Hyrule
    Yeah, most Smash fans probably should realize there’s a difference between characters from games they enjoy and characters who should be in Smash, but personally insulting someone for wanting an obscure character in Smash is just immature

    Wait, Kirby Fighters 2 isn’t free to play? Okay I apologize to the three people in the entire world who like the original kirby fighters, but there is no way I’m buying that

    I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about the fact that there’s a music track in Smash that’s from Fire Emblem Heroes, a mobile game, meaning mobile games count as video games when it comes to Smash...

    If I was a YouTuber I would have seperate videos for “favorite games of (year)” and “best games of (year)” and there would probably be a lot of differences between the two.

    For example, my favorite game of 2020 would probably be Super Mario 3D All-Stars but there’s no way I would call that the best game of 2020
