Wario Wario Wario

The fake-out death scene in the SpongeBob Movie is legitimately one of the greatest death scenes in cinema. Anyone and everyone can tell a fake-out death from the real deal, especially for a main protagonist half way through a kid's movie (let alone one based on merchandisable characters you see on TV every week), but somehow the SpongeBob Movie just takes your mind off that and immerses you in the emotion... I don't know how they did it, perhaps the slow, painful nature of their near-demise; the sad music; the usually wacky and silly characters' acceptance of death; or even all of the above - either way, they did a good job.

You've heard of Sonic Mania Plus, now get ready for Sonic Forces Plus! download the DLC and the Sonic Forces game will disappear from your home menu, in its place will be Sonic Mania; $45 on your digital shop account and - exclusive for PC players - a .txt file containing an apology!

It's strange how profanity filters NEVER account for capital i's and lowercase L's.

I present to you: the Smash Ultimate character design tier list, based solely on a character's aesthetic appearance. Still subjective either way.

This sounds how angsty Cuphead fanart with blood looks.

My ideal Crash design would be the N. Sane design, but with an orange muzzle.

As a kid, I had a bootleg GBA cart filled with GB games. One of those games was "Q-Billion", an utterly incomprehensible number stacking game - at the time I decided to Google how to play this game and found no answers, but I did find this box art:

I didn't realise "the puzzle games to CHEWS!" was a pun, so I thought it was just written with bad grammar and referring to a product or organisation called "CHEWS", which funded the game or something.

Brawlhalla is absolute garbage. If you haven't played it, imagine Smash but exactly two items are forced on and you only have tilts and aerials. It's not even the checkers to Smash's chess, it's equivalent to a paper board game you'd get in an issue of the Beano.

If Impa was to get in Smash I'd want them to use this design.

I don't mean this in a "haha, wouldn't that be funny?" way, I really do want to kick ass as a wrinkly old lady.

It's strange to me how people will complain about games like Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts for talking little elements from their source material before praising Super Mario 64 as the greatest game of all time.

Nobody:

Warner Brothers: what if... Cars... but Batman! https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/ba...animation-cartoon-network-hbo-max-1234794395/

I think there's 2 ways to fix 3D All-Stars.

1. use the unedited ROMs, no widescreen/upscaled textures/e.t.c., - throw in 64 DS; 3D Land and Galaxy 2, maybe even Wario World and Donkey Kong 64 - and sell it for £30.

2. remake 64, Sunshine and Galaxy a la Crash N. Sane and sell it for £30.

We talk a lot about separating art from artist, but I feel we don't talk enough about separating art(ist) from corporation.

I just sent someone in a YouTube comments section defending Mario 3D All-Stars because of ROM illegality a link explaining that "illegal = bad" is a logical fallacy, and they replied "I agree, piracy is stealing" - how can you miss the point so hard?

BRING BACK SICKLY GREEN DK

Dr. Mario's taunts look like idle animations and vice versa. I think they're going for subtlety, because he's a professional and such, but that doesn't really work with taunts.

You know how people say a good song can transport them to a nostalgic time?

I feel that, but... not in a very glamorous way.


Every time I hear this song, I think of getting queasy looking downwards at my DS Lite playing Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots in my dad's old dog-puke-infested car through the seaside, with the heat intensifying the dog puke smell.

Nostalgia usually makes bad things seem good, but for me it does the exact opposite.

Honestly I think Goomba should've been in Smash instead of Piranha Plant. Goomba is insignificant enough to be funny at first but, unlike PP, is iconic enough in the realm of Mario as a whole to not feel out of place when the gag wears off, plus a handless fighter does sound interesting.

The character models from the N64 version of Mother 3 look like memes, like even more so than 90s CGI usually does.

Something I'm surprised doesn't exist yet: a 3D dogfighting (as in with planes) party game - with items and stuff, like Mario Kart battle mode.

They should add a chuckster to Smash. Not any particular chuckster like "The Chuckster" or anything like that, but a chuckster, all lowercase. There is no one chuckster, they just rotate chucksters out for every battle. Every time you battle as a chuckster you get a randomly coloured and sized, but always moustached Pianta, no selecting alternate costumes. All their special moves are some variant of a command grab.

The thing about predicting characters will be OP is that we often forget these Mr. Sakurai Presents videos are ADVERTS. They are designed to subtly trick casual players into thinking the new fighter will be overpowered so they'll buy them to get an edge on their friends, not to give competitive and hardcore players the full frame data and gameplan or anything like that. That's not to say that the competitive community is being disregarded, but they're the periphery demographic for the Mr. Sakurai Presents series, everybody knows the competitive players are gonna scoop up any new character regardless of actual thoughts on them, casual players need to be sold on a fighter if they're not familiar or a fan.

I have a habit of Googling questions I know the answer to so I can see how wrong it gets them.
Ahh yes, I love Rool from The Super Smash Bros.

If Steve is OP on Kalos, you know what that means...

HAZARDS ON RULESET BABY!

PM did some really good balancing work, but I think we can all agree they should've based Kirby off his 64 iteration, not Melee.

Sometimes I have the perfect pun, but many way too many ideas for set ups so I just combine them all into some eldritch fusion among the lines of "WHAT DO YOU CALL A DISAPPEARING PARROT WHO HAS 2 GIRLFRIENDS AND IS RENDERED ON THE NINTENDO 64?"

The reason we don't get many new Klonoa games is because they are not supposed to exist in this universe - they are merely the Kingdom Hearts equivalent from the alternate timeline where Disney never lost the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

The Creeper and Pig Mii costumes both have detached limbs... yeah, I think Rayman may be getting the costume treatment.

I lack the brain cells required to comprehend how this logo could've ever been considered professional for use in any kind of commercial project in any time period.

Video you should check out. Might have some swear words, but my memory's a little hazy so that could be a false alarm.

That new Caddicarus video has got me thinking about how cool a new Disney Skate Adventure using 1+2's engine would be.

I'm surprised more people don't mention the idea of Andross as a Smash fighter. He'd be a fun character for Sakurai to express 100% original creative muscles on like Fox beforehand.

I've always seen Waluigi as kinda like a wrestling heel, but for golf. His few instances of full dialogue do imply he's somewhat of a nice guy, or at the very least wise - like, actually wise, not a wiseguy.

"We need a character who can be the final boss of our Nintendo crossover, who should it be?"

"Perhaps a giant dragon?"

"Nah, too generic, doesn't tie in to the characters."

"Bowser, Andross or Ganon?"

"Yeah... no, too specific. They're Mario, Fox, and Link's enemies - wouldn't make sense for Pikachu or Samus to take them on."

"BUT THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT! ugh, how about the hand that wakes up Kirby on the continue screen? hehehehehehe"

"PERFECT!"

"I was joking, Mr. Sakur-eh, who cares, the raise can feed my family."

I used to be active on DeviantArt and draw a lot of very... um... niche artwork, let's call it that, about people with elastic limbs - and all the OCs made for this artwork were very samey: adult woman, big boobs. I was sick and tired of it so I just decided to make an OC who is as (conventionally) unattractive as humanly possible. I took an old OC of mine (a Kumatora recolour named Grace) and slowly turned her into a disgusting pop-culture-obsessed wannabe-90s-kid teenage slob.


While they never said it out loud, it seemed lot of people in the "elastic girl" community as they call it (I personally would've preferred a much more androgynous name) were baffled by this character - whenever I'd request people to draw her they'd remove the acne; give her boobs; e.t.c., which just defeated the point of the character to me. (fun fact: I specifically wrote into Grace's "lore" that she wears a chest binder and eye contacts so she can look more ugly, and actually has DD and anime eyes without them.)

I have quite a few OCs, and pretty much all of them are male, with Grace being one of two female characters. This was pretty much just an act of rebellion towards the female-dominated elastic OC lineup

I made a few treasured friends during my DA days, but now I speak with them on Discord instead. My OCs have stayed alive through our discussions, and I see big things in Grace's future... some day, she may just get her own game!

"taunt/teabag to get bodied" is just a sign of a bad player since it implies they aren't putting their all into the game until they get taunted.

While I like Shovel Knight as a game I always felt it had a little too many modern commodities. It's more a modern game with retro graphics than a retro throwback; which is what most people like about it but what I dislike about it above all.

Olimar got Wazowski'd by the game demo.

Sometimes I wonder if "hoes mad" memes were actually an elaborate conspiratorial smear campaign by Byleth's haters against Byleth's fans. There's no way in hell anybody old enough to comprehend how FE's turn based strategy works and/or emotionally mature enough to handle permadeath would genuinely think making fun of people simply for the mere act of being upset at a video game character will help them or anyone else.

Well, add that to the Smash crossover web.


This splash screen was added in 2010, Mojang predicted people finding the mere existence of Peter Griffin funny by about 7 years.
