We could always moan about how my favorite franchise was done more dirty than your favorite franchise again.
all im saying is that Gex is way better than red-cap Stalin and he should've been in the game over Mario #7.

I'm right and anyone who dares disagree with me is a big old DOO-DOO-DUNDER-HEAD.

People really overstate how much waifu culture actually helped the game when it had nothing to do with it's success.
It's not really hard to make a pattern of it to be honest.

Every FE pre-Awakening had no self-insert unit who could date your other units: let's just say they didn't have impressive sales
Awakening: had self-insert unit who could date your other units. Success.
Fates: had self-insert unit who could date your other units. Success.
Echoes: had no self-insert unit who could date your other units. Flop.
Three Houses: had self-insert unit who could date your other units. Success.

what if... we got a direct this week, to sort of celebrate Ultimate's 1 year anniversary a bit earlier (the 7th unfortunately falls on a Saturday) and FP5 is released then and there, while TGA shows off the first post pass/season 2 character?
That would honestly be the best outcome, and one I think is possible, if not the most likely.

Well yeah, you can shape the narrative however you want when you eliminate 90% of the context.

Correlation does not imply causation.

I'll gladly settle for a discussion like this over whatever the **** happened last night.
You mean you didn't appreciate wise-sage TPC?

That would imply Echoes was a flop which it wasn't. Honestly I suspect you're an alt

Also ARMS is supposed to have a comic come out soon but it seems to be getting delayed so often it's likely cancelled so call that a success I guess

I'm just saying that Ultimate is the best selling Smash game and it has Vince from Art Academy.

Come on, it can't be a coincidence.

Heres something we can all agree on:

Corrin is the worst addition in Smash Bros history.

That's a mighty subjective statement you're making there. Such a statement shouldn't be passed off as fact when it can be disagreed with.

Nah. I don't like PPlant more. Plus you can argue echoes are the worst addition because they don't add unique movesets. Also something about opinions.

Maybe the statement is my perspective, and therefore a fact that I feel this way.

Also I'm right so its a general fact

Man Fire Emblem really brings out the worst in Smash stans, doesn't it? I can't imagine getting seething mad at the mere mention of a bideo game franchise which, let's be real, most of yall have never played, but that's just me.

-Corrin is a good character in Smash- the man who finds Roy as the best lord and unironically enjoys Frozen.

Jokes aside, people are free to like any character they want.

Y'know sometimes I just want to enjoy being a fan of Banjo in peace but then the bad ones come in here and I feel near-immediate shame
*whenever someone posts classic bait and people respond*
I will always take the chance to post Big Lebowski
Always

I think this is possible and I would gladly welcome it lol However I think FP5 will still be released in January. Other possibility being FP5 revealed at TGA and post-pass character revealed during their release presentation or a Jan direct (I think one happens in Jan).

Dude, we talked about this.

Smash fans' opinions are objective unless they are also Fire Emblem fans.
I respect everyone's opinions! It's just if you don't have the exact same opinions as me, I hate you and I hope you die.

If you asked me whether I wanted Tiki or Corrin as the playable Manakete unit in Smash, I'd go with the former, but that's just me. People don't like Corrin due to the writing in Fates and because their inclusion in Smash 4 DLC ended up being a bit premature but at the end of the day their moveset is still plenty fun so I can't really call them the worst addition to the game.

The actual worst addition to the game is Mario. Dude has some real boring platforming games and I swear he's EVERYWHERE, I'm so sick of not being able to look two inches left or right without seeing that failure of a plumber. Just cut him and make him an alternate costume for Dr. Mario, then everyone is happy.

Just ask yourself, what would Banjo and Kazooie do?

They would order a large pizza.

Fixed that for you.

No joke, sometime this week I was having a peaceful talk on a YouTube livestream about movies.

But the moment I said "I like Frozen 2 quite a lot" I got shamed by everyone and compared to a 12 years old girl.

The internet does suck a bit.

Another similar possibility, one that's slightly more likely: We do get a Direct this week... but instead of a Smash focused one, it's a general Direct focusing on what Nintendo Switch games, titles, and DLC to expect in 2020. Smash Ultimate's anniversary gets acknowledged, Fighter 5 is revealed and set to release in February, and we get some details on "Fighters Pass 2" but no character reveals for it.

Following that, at the Game Awards, we'll see the reveal of the first "Fighters Pass 2" character, with a release set for "Coming 2020".

Fire Emblem owes its revival to having good marketing, becoming more accessible and allowing players to explore more in the way of character interactions in one playthrough. Saying it's a success because of waifus or "it's a dating sim" is reductionist and ignores the fact that actual dating sims and otaku games are still really niche because the market for that isn't big at all.

they are mad that it is the future
