I don't know if I'd rather see something more akin to Voltron, where they're each piloting mini-mechs and combine to create a giant Larry David, or something like NGE with George being pressured into piloting a bio-mech that just looks like giant, multicolored version of himself. Either way, I want it shot directly into my bloodstream.
Also there's a
...surprising number of anime-inspired Seinfeld fan art, turns out.
As someone who literally waited twenty years for them to get into Smash, it is sad how often they're forgotten by the fanbase as a whole. Kind of like Ridley and K. Rool. Long requested, immediately ignored. Seemingly.
It's weird to me because I main B&K. I'm
always playing them. I spent this entire weekend meticulously training their Amiibo (DON'T teach them Wonderwing!). But a vocal minority of the fanbase seems to just parrot what a couple of pros once said ("They're low-mid-tier at best and their only playstyle is too annoying") which, along with a lack of a truly gimmicky moveset or even a single notable patch buff, kind of left them in the dust. Hell, they couldn't even enjoy their own Sakurai Presents without being overshadowed by Mr. Font Skeleton.
Regardless, as someone who is in it, Banjo mains/fans are still plentiful. People still lab them, still put in the work to make their moveset more viable without an over-reliance on WW or Grenade Egg. The Amiibo release has even rekindled that interest a tiny bit more. They're not making the front page of Reddit or YouTube or whatever, but some people are still doing
incredible stuff with this duo.
It's still a bummer, sure, but I have confidence that we'll see at least
someone put the duo back on people's radar once in-person tournaments start opening back up.
(Also big thanks for linking to that DougEfresh thread! That really guh'd my huh.)
