  • People who think the actions and culture of certain employees and higher-ups of ActiBlizz should have any impact on potential Activision content Smash content are stupid - yes, it's insulting, but it's also the truth. I'mma go through a few reasons
    1. Not all Activision employees are bad - in fact, that's the whole crux of this controversy: Acti employees getting harassed by other Acti employees. It's not fair to disregard their hard work and characters just because of this temporary lawsuit that will likely be resolved eventually, even if it takes years.
    2. Crash/Spyro/Tracer/Price in Smash would be pocket change to 72 billion dollar Acti - and that's if individual sales even go to Bobby and co. I frankly don't know whether companies pay Nintendo for their characters and keep the sales profits or Nintendo pays them and keep the sales profits, but either way this will make no change for better or worse to the ActiBizz "empire" and just be a tiny bit of money for a company that's always gonna make lods of emone no matter how big the boycott. Smash is big, but CoD is bigger.
    3. Nintendo are also terrible, at least from an external treatment of customers standard. You've already fed the mouths that bite you, and there's no shame in that. Corporations are scummy, that's systemic and requires a systemic response - I'm not saying ActiBlizz'z crimes should go ignored or unaccounted for mind you, but rather that we as customers can't achieve much more than a futile victory that causes temporary change unless we aim for the entire industry structure and not just Activision/Valve/Nintendo/EA/whoever the punching bag is this month.
    4. This is Crash specific (could apply to Spyro too): Crash may be Activision's property, but he isn't a character who comes to mind when you think Activision. Adding Crash would not be honouring Activision - it would be honouring Naughty Dog, Beenox, Traveller's Tales, Vicarious Visions, Toys for Bob, Radical, King and all the other talented development teams who have made Crash the legend he is today, not the corporate guys who tell those devs what they can make and when. As far as I can tell the harassment has only happened at Acti and Blizz, not Acti's subsidaries - and Acti's subsidaries deserve to have respect on their names.
    I didn't grow up with Minecraft, so the short Enderman in Smash doesn't come off as that weird to me, in fact regular Enderman is weirder if anything
    If the "mascot/protag first" rule didn't exist for Smash 64 I feel Diddy and Paula would've got in over DK and Ness.

    I honestly don't know why they wouldn't have used that 'rule' though. Especially for the debut game where marketing was going to be everything. Get the faces of their respective series or bust. Why would they, for example, choose say Falco over Fox for the first game to rep Star Fox? Would seem strange. Same if they opted to put in Shiek or Zelda over Link.

    It's a hypothetical scenario, don't overthink it.
    Rayman Legends is a better "Smash Bros. platformer" than Subspace Emissary.

    What does this mean

    In Rayman Legends, Rayman can basically use the entire moveset of a Smash fighter - he has jabs, tilts, aerials and even smash attacks - the only things missing are grabs and specials.

    I'd say Smash Run is a good second, even though it's technically different from Legends.
    If we really want to protect people from sexual abuse, we need to let potential abusers be honest and transparent about their sexual urges in a non-judgemental environment that will support them in supressing those urges, otherwise we'll be left with a perpetual cycle of torment and misery for everyone, both innocent and guilty.
    As far as I know the only major characters who's current directors have outwardly stated to not want them in Smash are Kiryu and Bub & Bob. It also seems like a safe bet to say PaRappa the Rapper (unfortunately) falls under this given Rodney Greenblatt's disappointment in PaRappa's PSASBR appearance.
    I was born in 2002, but my taste in games, and thus Smash picks, is as boomer as it gets - and have been since I was a kid.

    Making friends at school was hard.
    I posted a comment on NintendoLife about how silly the idea of Digimon with permadeath is and I'm still getting angry replies hours later.

    Why would permadeath in Digimon be silly?
    I'm no animation expert, but surely the 30FPS vs. 60FPS debate could just be resolved by duplicating each frame of character animation in a 60FPS game to create a 30FPS look, right?
    Watching the same footage being played in the background of All-Star Brawl videos is getting pretty tiring. There's 3 days straight worth of SpongeBob footage alone, surely you could just play some Nicktoons clips with a mirror filter in the background, right?
    Sakurai as a playable fighter may be the objective worst Smash request ever made, earnest or otherwise.

    Sakurai idoltry is especially weird to me because he's an utterly wretched role model, especially for budding game developers.
    • He works way more than any human being should to the point of causing himself legitimate physical pain
    • He's a slave to Nintendo's corporate demands and will never say no to them even if he openly opposes said mandates
    • He goes back on his statements frequently and can never stick to his word
    • He's almost never transparent and keeps his development choices a secret.
    • He's obsessed with adding a high amount of content and thus rarely ever fixes old content
    • He has on one occasion tried to sabotage the devoted competitive fandom in what almost comes off as direct malice
    If Clippit or Hatsune Miku got in Smash it'd likely cause some debates over what classes as a game character even though neither of those two go any further outside of the definition of "game character" than Wii Fit; Cooking Guide; or PictoChat
    I have no clue how ASMR became such a marketing sensation considering that the whole point is that only certain people get it because they're just kinda born that way. Seems counterintuitive to the usual corporate goal of one-size-fits-all appeal.
    Watching hours of Mr. Enter and AnimationRewind as an early teen has given me an inexplicable liking for muted cartoon footage playing in the background of someone talking.
    I love passive aggressive jokes in cartoons clearly making fun of other cartoons.
    I couldn't find an isolated clip of Animaniacs' "no wonder you like that Bonkers show!" so sorry about that.
    Since the new Looney Tunes Cartoons are bringing back obscure characters, and WB are open to acknowledging memes as shown by Big Chungus, we need a new Dan Backslide cartoon. I don't care if the three jerks-er, I mean brothers or dainty Dora Standpipe('s father's money) are in it, I just want to see the funny man chug down 10 pints of beer in half a second again.
    It must suck to be the daughter of a gory kidnapping-revenge action movie character. Living with the weight that your own father slowly and painfully killed hundreds of crime lords and their subserviant goons to save you, likely taking pleasure in the carnage, on your shoulders before you've even entered puberty is frankly horrific.

    Call me ungrateful, call me too selfless for my own good, but I'd disown Murderer Dad the exact moment I could.

    I mean, if your dad is willing to murder people to protect you I'd be slightly worried too.

    I've thought about this profile post quite a bit ever since I saw it. And after some careful reflection...I would probably do the same thing. Yes, I would kill dozens of people who associate themselves with child trafficking to save my daughter-the very person I'm helping to grow into an adult and love very much. Hundreds? Possibly. Afterwards, I'm sure I would feel shame for what I'd done, and I would pay up a ransom if possible-but no, I wouldn't spare the lives of hundreds of child traffickers or just all around terrible people just for some ideal "murderless solution" or whatever. What's even the alternative? Calling the police? Lol, as if.
    I'm still very young and my answer could very well change by the time I'm a fully grown adult, possibly with my own child, but for now, I would certainly save my child-who's probably scared out of her mind and likely abused more than any human deserves to deal with, just because the morally correct thing to do is to let the terrible people who caused this to happen live without consequence.
