Wario Wario Wario

Biker Wario being Wario's default costume is one of the smartest game design decisions in Smash history IMO as it subtley clues new players less familiar with Diamond City or Kitchen Island into the fact Wario isn't a Mario clone, and I seriously hope the same is done with Waluigi's tennis outfit should he get in.

The Sausage Party fan wikia being called "Sausage Party Recipe Book" is more clever than anything in the entire movie.

I'm kinda curious as to what it'd look like if you were to design a character who is a human, but in the same way Sonic is a hedgehog.

Remember: always seperate art from artist. Otherwise, you'll either:

A. be completely inable to enjoy something close to your heart unless you make up revisionist BS about Hatsune Miku

or

B. end up worshipping and growing an emotional attachment to a homophobic millionare who is more than willing to weaponise your passion.

Hoodie Wire-Frame Little Mac is easily the most specific and niche costume in Smash. I don't know why they even decided to add it, but I want more alts like it. Love Wireframe Mac.

Subspace Emissary sucks. Who looks at ROB and thinks "yes, this robot was clearly tricked into enacting genocide against his entire race". Who plays WarioWare and thinks "it'd totally be on-character for this Wario guy to petrify children for fun." Who plays a Game & Watch game and thinks "it sure would be awesome if all these beep-boop people fused into a two headed car robot". Also, if "all the trophies know is fighting" HOW ARE THEY FORMING FRIENDSHIPS AND WHY IS THERE A GOD DAMN ZOO WHAT PURPOSE WOULD A SOULLESS PERCALIN ROBOT MADE JUST FOR FIGHTING HAVE TO WATCH ANIMALS

You've heard "life imitates art", now get ready for "canon imitates fanon."

Imagine killing gods every Thursday instead of providing food for your loving wife and kids at home.

I've always wondered why there's never been a proper Game Boy rep in Smash, but now I think about it there's only really two realistically viable options: Muddy Mole and Prince of Sablé.

Who Are You Running From? is based on a real guy
Warlocked technically isn't Nintendo, and never released in Japan
Alice would more likely than not be passed up in favour of the more recognisable Balloon Fighter
Tatanga is an obscure rep for a well known IP
Yakuman Player is well... Yakuman Player.
X has no real characters to draw from

I should note that Kakrurenbo Battle Monster Tactics is a bit of an outlier, since I can't find much English info about it. There could be stuff to work with, there could not, but what I can find about it doesn't make it sound very interesting.

No prizes for guessing who this character is a parody of.

Sega have never said what Metal Sonic is powered by and that makes me mad.

Smash really picks and chooses which DK songs to give their proper titles and which to give an extremely vague title relating to their gameplay role. "Ship Deck 2/King K. Rool" is a glaring example of this as 1. another remix of this song exists with the actual name, and 2. Gangplank Galleon is the only ship deck in DKC1. (Unless you count DKL, which had a completely different Gangplank Galleon theme)

I'm really enjoying LS Mark's every Disney movie video so far, but hearing the Melee unlockable menu theme play as the Snow White logo pops up, or an extragagant Tim Follin tune contrasting against the elegant and pretty Bambi logo is such a mood whiplash.

It's suprising that, as far as I can tell, absolutely nobody on the entire internet has suggested the Nodons as a Smash fighter.

Are we finally beyond the "new Nintendo game? time to make Smash concepts!" phase?

aw crap the phase distorter derailed

How y'all look saying Metroid is one of Nintendo's "big 3 IPs"

Lurking the Geno thread is like watching innocent people get slowly driven to irreversable insanity by the eldritch horrors of hype culture and nostalgia. It was funny in an immature schadenfruedian sense when Sephiroth got in and they were all panicked, but now it's just depressing.

just found out about the family guy oc maker

I remember once seeing a post that went like

"I remember once seeing a post that went like "Sakurai basing Sonic on 1, The Fighters, CD, 06, and Shadow is like basing Mario on 1, Hotel, is Missing, Pinball Land and Sunshine" but really it's more like basing Mario on 1, World, Kart 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy"

and I honestly don't either is an apt comparison. I think a better allegory is basing Crash on 1, Bash. Huge Adventure, Twinsanity, and Titans.

In a decade's time it'll probably be economically possible to give out handhelds with actual 80s/early 90s retro games as kids meal toys - like the old McDonald's LCD toys, but with "dodge the cars" swapped for Sonic 2. Certainly would result in a few literal riots if a one/two-per-customer rule isn't enforced though.

I want to want AiAi in Smash, but I have no clue how he could possibly play, even considering the party minigames.

A Monkey Ball stage or an AiAi AT? Now that would be good.

I kinda wish Smash had more ambient tracks like Environmental Noises; 25M; Gamer, e.t.c. They're not that good for listening but make for a great novelty in the battles themselves. The Item Room Ambience from Super Metroid would be absolutely perfect

The choice of Free Wi-Fi in this case is actually completely rational - it only says "Free Book", not "Free Picture Book" or "Free Dictionary" or "Free Car Manual" or anything like that, just "book" - with the Wi-Fi you know what you're getting, while the book is a gamble - especially given how vague just "book" is.

I can't believe Nintendo let an arsonist get a Mii costume.

I just realised, thanks to Janx_uwu 's post about Machamp in the HWYR thread, that Incineroar doesn't have any fire, cat, or Pokémon specific moves, so any wrestling character could be an echo of him - it'd be cool if Starman got in with all the other NES Pro Wrestlers (well, except Kin Corn Karn, he's best left in the past) as alts.

Hey conservatives, if capitalism breeds innovation why did McDonald's replace my man Speedee with a clown?

Subliminal advertising.

Mushroomy Kingdom gets a lot of use here, huh. Also a lot of depressing environmentalist themes. Coincidence, I swear.

Hello, Cineworld? Is it true you're showing an anniversary reissue of The Karate ADULT?

I'm almost certain Omega forms get more use in casual play than competitive.

I like how all the songs in the Donkey Kong cartoon are either broadway-worthy masterpieces or absolute atrocities against professional songwriting. There is no in-between

Even though I'm very strictly opposed to changing Wario's moveset, I think Land Wario as a seperate fighter would be
