Snake Man's stage from Metal Blade Solid
Here is a really hot take if anyone wants one.

I tried to play FE Three Houses. Ended up putting it down immediately after a couple of tries at the mock battle.

Sorry, but that gameplay is just simply not for me.
That's not a hot take! That's a valid opinion!

Now if you said the game was bad or boring that'd be another story, though I'm pretty sure them's fight'n words so it's probably best you didn't say that.

They shouldn't have Choice Scarfed Focus Miss.
I have yet to discover why people call it that. I've never had trouble with the attack. Though I suppose I don't run it very often.

It seems like I’m the only one that feels that way about it. That is why I believe it was a hot take.
Nah I don’t like Fire Emblem too.


Yeah, there was a 4chan post with legit DMCV information and someone tacked "Dante in Smash" on.
You think people would stop giving those “””leaks”””” attention.

Say Sakurai decided to add some free DLC to include some Gen 8 Pokemon as Pokeball Pokemon. Who gets added and what do they do?
Sobble- Cries for as long as it is on the stage. Its tears will make a puddle you can trip on.
Wooloo- Can be hit around like the soccer ball item.
Morpeko- Munchlax but evil.
Cramorant- Gulpin but with a throw at the end.
Dracovish- Fishious Rends everyone to death.

Eh, while not as big of a spoiler, they did give Corrin their ultimate weapon the Omega Yato and focused on it during their reveal despite Fates only being out around half a year in Japan (and the Revelation DLC even less then that) and the game not even being released in the west at the time. I don't think they'd be against using spoiler content if it added to the gameplay, it's more a question of if they'd feel that element would fit the idea they'd have for the character and how they'd play.
i've never played fates, but isn't the omega yato the only one that has a chainsaw blade?
the chainsaw properties are used for a couple different moves here and there around corrin's moveset, whereas a final smash is just one move that isn't exactly seen much. i don't think that a
transforming super move
is comparable, really

Most people here use it as a conversation starter for whoever we're not talking about at the moment/whoever's not in conversation rotation.

Morpeko- Munchlax but evil.
I don't think Munchlax is a Pokéball Pokémon. Please elaborate.

Even as someone who loves the series, Fire Emblem definitely isn't for everyone, especially the older entries.

Munchlax went around eating everything in Brawl. My idea for Morpeko would be that it eats everything, but also attacks you out of nowhere when it turns into its Hangry form.

Quick reminder there's no Pokemon Mystery Dungeon content in this game, which is a tragedy. I'd pay five bucks just to get Primal Dialga's theme.
It's especially weird considering that the Mystery Dungeon games, particularly Explorers of Time/Sky/Darkness, have more impactful story and emotional beats than most MAINLINE Pokemon games. The production value and quality of those games should seriously illicit major Smash attention.

It's basically the 1% crit joke of Pokémon. It doesn't have that high of a hit rate relative to many other popular moves and it can't be improved on by anything outside of items like Hurricane, so it's not uncommon for someone to recount a story where they need for it to hit to get a crucial KO and have it miss and screw up the entire battle for them.

i've never played fates, but isn't the omega yato the only one that has a chainsaw blade?

It's not completely comparable I agree, but it does show that Sakurai and co. are willing to dig deep into the game's story and pull out something that they feel adds to the character. The Omega Yato only exists at the very end of a route that you can only get via DLC, and said weapon is created as a means to beat the final boss who serves as the mastermind behind it all, so it's a notable spoiler for the game. Yet they still used it for the character in Smash because the chainsaw property, while only used for a couple moves, still added something that they wanted for the character.

So if the form in question added to the gameplay for the character, then they would likely go with it. Smash traditionally has put gameplay over story if it comes down to including a character and/or making them more fun to play, and I don't think that form would be any different if it came down to that choice.

I have to imagine it's a rights thing, but still. If they can go to Ubisoft for some spirits, surely it couldn't be too hard to go to Chunsoft for a stage and some songs.

Since we're back on Pokemon, hope you guys don't mind some self-promotion and let me present the content I would like Toxtricity to come with if it were to have a fighter pack.

Previously on Fatman:



I’m not that familiar with the players within the leaker scene, I’ve seen Fatmans user name here before, but who exactly is Fatman and what did he do?

I wish I knew, Commissioner Jordan. But surely Fatman is a myth? There's enough trouble in our city, so I also avoid the leaker scene. Some call Fatman a hero, but I say he's a no good vigilante.

Who the hell is this Fatman I've seen talked about on the last couple of pages?
What's a kid like you reading the Brotham City Times for?! That sensational garbage. Anyway, you're a good kid, Rick Drayson, so a word of advice: that Fatman is bad news. He doesn't speak much, if he's even real at all, but his word is treated like gospel. There's a certain group that hang out over at old Geno's place downtown that formed a Fatman cult of some kind. Great, like we needed more vigilantes recklessly tearing up our city. It's all crazy I tell ya! Gone are the days of open and shut cases. When, if ever was Fatman right? Never, I say. Never. Don't listen to what the papers have to say, kid. This gal's been on the force almost as long as Commissioner Jordan himself.

Later that day...



Deuce?! Did you just refer to me as Deuce, Alfredo? In my own workout studio? The man they know as world renowned Fitness Instructor Deuce Payne is a charade. Deuce Payne ceased to exist the day his parents died in that drive-thru car crash. Survivors guilt caused that orphan boy to eat his weight in comfort food thrice over. He spent years developing an extreme workout regime to take all of it off. In doing so, that boy became a man who mastered the ultimate exercise routine. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, when sped up, said exercise is also the deadliest martial art on the planet. That man may have shed the pounds, Alfredo, but the weight of his parent's death will never go away. That is why I don the Fatsuit and fight evil one calorie at a time. I am vengeance. I am chubby. I. Am. Fatman!


Has Fatman been accurate with his predictions before?


He's Fatman, not Nostradamus! Your guess is as good as mine, Yang, but my guess is as good as his.





All I've seen the last few months...the last two nights...has challenged everything I ever believed in. It all comes down to one thing. Deconfirmations. She was wrong. Brotham needs the Fatman, Ellie whispered in her recorder.


And now for Part 5: To Break the Fat

Gain and The Japer are two prominent vigilantes who were once apart of Fatman's hero cult. As the two rose to power, Fatman tried to disband the group entirely and retire peacefully, while he was still head honcho. Two weeks has passed since his retirement. However, Fatman couldn't leave his old life behind. He had to go back to crime fighting. This time, he's going to do it alone... Well, with the occasional help from Alfredo and the rest of The Fat Family, but they don't count. Unfortunately for Fatman, while he was out patrolling the streets, he runs into a couple of old pals. Unbeknownst to our caked crusader, the group never disbanded.

Fatman is a wannabe. He's no different than any of us. I'd hesitate to call him informed considering he's always wrong. The way I've described Fatman is that he's a dog walking around the table while the family is eating dinner. Useless. AHAHAHA.
The Japer said to Gain with a devilish grin on his face while out on patrol. Wait... Do you see that, Gainsy boy? Look over there! You can't hide from us, Fatso! And let's be real here, even a blind man can see you a mile away.

Fatman fled.





"They have me cornered", Fatman panted. You SHOULD'VE RETIRED WHEN I DID. YO- Gain caught up and lifted Fatman with ease. He interrupted him mid-sentence. Gain was furious. Carrying Fatman, he then proclaimed





Casually driveby and point out a major deet. You didn't "retire", you were kicked out of the group. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I get that you've grown to like this wannabe "hero" persona and the attention it draws you, hence why you chose to pretend you had this honorable exit instead of being caber tossed out of the group in embarrassing fashion for being a nuisance. In case you weren't aware, you're already a laughing stock elsewhere in the Brotham community. Nothing you do comes to fruition. People are routinely annoyed by your antics. Don't throw stones when you're living in a glass house. Or, in this case, a house with a black bird perched atop it. Remember that? Good times. But that's a story for another day. I won't stick around and cause trouble here, this intervention is meant to be a one-off. But I'll be sure to come back and laugh hysterically over your latest blunder, should you ever decide to return. Sound good?
Gain went right for the emotional jugular.

The drama, the betrayal... The leaker scene in general. It was all unbearable. We, the citizens of Brotham, were lost. Our Hero was broken.






These are dark times. Things will get better, right?

Tune in next time to find out, kids. Same Fat time, same Fat channel.

Who’s Fatman?
Smashboards user who hangs around the Geno thread. Used to be in the inner circle-ish of Sabi's Discord, where he'd get the latest new leaker tidbits, which he used to deliver spicy hot theories and ideas that he presented to the Geno thread, who gladly ate them all up because he also (obviously) supports Geno. Has a tendency for causing/being at the center of drama, which isn't exactly helped by the fact that his theories/rumors/guesses/prophecies turned out to be correct a grand total of never. Recently was at the center of some more drama after he got kicked out of Sabi's Discord server.

Did I miss anything?
(That's not aimed at you, by the way. Just the other people who've been active in this thread for a bit longer.)

There's over 30 users and 40 guests looking at this thread, but everyone's afraid to say something because Fatman was just brought up.
And at these desperate times, a heropon rises to the challenge.

After what happened days ago, can you really blame anyone for not wanting to talk about Fatman?

Is Fatman even reliable? Sorry for asking a dumb question.
A lot of people believed him because they knew he had connections to a notable source (notable, not reliable), and when someone comes along and says your favorite character is gonna happen, its hard to think with a clear mind.

Happened a lot with Ridley back in the day. So much so that his supporters grew tired of it and initially wrote off the one leak with Ridley in it that was actually real.

Nice.

Also I think I’ve deduced the identity of “The Fatman”

Who’s Fatman?
Probably whatever Calamitas said, but Fatman is also an on-going series written by KC Comics™ because people's quotes out of context sound like a Batman parody, as demonstrated in our latest chapter. We here at KC also have an uncanon side comic that pokes fun at the recent Smash Bros. deconfirmations. Here's some old yet ever relevant deconfirmation gags:











Also... we here at KC promise that Jenée Montana is totally not a self-insert. Probably. She's just the best side character.


Anyway, your question caught me off guard. I don't like reposting these without showing new content, so ummm... here's a special crossover chapter dedicated to Kat from Gravity Rush. This doesn't even have anything to do with our uncanon Fatman side gags (so it's more uncanon than unusual), but it hit the writers so hard (and we already had it saved in our stash), we made an exception.






Also... Welcome to the forum! Nice to meet ya.
