Alllllllright, let's play a game:

Who is your "f**k you" pick? Someone you would love to see that the entire community would say, "f**k you".

Mine is Nikolai from the Call of Duty: Black Ops series. It's never gonna happen but I would love to see him!
A traditional fighting game character. I've never really understood why the Smash fanbase (or at least it's more vocal or visually present members) don't react as much to guys like Ryu, Ken and Terry. Like, I think part of me should at least get why because it just seems like there's not much overlap between the Smash fanbase and the FGC, but at the same time, it infuriates me - as someone who's loved the genre for God knows how long - to see these characters not get the respect I think they deserve.

It wouldn't matter at this rate which series they'd get a rep from: Mortal Kombat, Soulcalibur, Tekken, Darkstalkers, Samurai Shodown, Killer Instinct, etc. - they'd all make for excellent "FU" picks. If anything, I'd enjoy the chance to style on people mechanically complex (in the context of Smash) fighters and tell them to play a REAL fighting game. (Side note: Smash is a real fighting game, and said taunt before this statement was just that - a taunt.)

I'll love him just for the fact that I would've called it out so hard.

Seeing everyone upset would be the best "I told you so" opportunity.

Yeah, as a Fatal Fury fan who counts Terry as one of her favorite video game characters it irritates me too. Especially when gamers don't realize how important SNK was to the fighting game genre. Which is why I hope more Smash players will start playing SNK fighters and realize how awesome they are. (On a side note I'd love to see more Smash fans playing non-SNK fighting games because even games like Vanguard, Prehistoric Isle, and Top Hunter are pretty cool. Not to mention the famous Metal Slug. :))

More context: https://www.resetera.com/threads/go...eals-new-ip-for-switch-monkey-barrels.149873/

Thread was made at 4AM while his leak was about 15 hours later. He picked an obscure ass title from Famitsu previews to do a leak with.

EDIT: Oh look, a tweet that predates the leak by about 20 hours

Tingle

I don't understand why people support the one off Zelda characters (and Impa) when you could support the recurring character who's actually interesting. Besides the c d i g a m e s, he's the only Zelda character to get a spin-off. (I said character, Hyrule Warriors is a spin-off but not a spin-off based around a character).

Tingle is worth it, IMO. He's recognizable enough within his series, he's pretty much the Waluigi pick.

Better than the likes of Skull Kid and Midna too, but that's my own hot take.

Probably because those guys appear in crossover games CONSTANTLY, so it doesn't feel as special.

Does this include characters who would count as a "duo" like Ice Climbers and Duck Hunt? Cause...



Not really a "f**k you" pick, so much as an "Are you upset?" pick.

You had so much opportunity to say beef or chicken in that last sentence

All three leaking in more substantial methods than usual doesn't help either.
remember when simon got leaked by nintendo themselves

Yes, but Ryu and Terry weren't preempted by existing (public) leaks like Simon was.

Though Nintendo is obviously the mvp leaker when it comes to Smash.

For me it'd be my dude Sgt Cortez as always because he fits the bill with all these questions that people have asked. Considering how unknown he is and how much of a call of duty soldier I'd imagine the entire fanbase would view him as, I'm willing to bet that there will not be a lot of happy people if he got in.

Can we all agree that leaks are a mixed bag?
Nope! I hate surprises so if there are any legitimate leaks, I want to know about it. Besides it didn't even kill my hype for Banjo & Kazooie when they were finally revealed so for me it's a win-win situation.

Bubsy, a truly bizarre pick. Just for the sheer lunacy and oddness.

What could possibly go wrong?

Spinel from the Steven Universe movie would tick all the boxes to make her the most hated character. Fourth Party, from a young series, being a side character, the list goes on.

Perhaps the same could be said of all 4th party side characters.

Persona 3 protagonist.

A second Persona character, blue-haired sword-wielding pretty boy, a Mii costume promotion that isn't Geno or Skull Kid, not a dead character...

There would be a nuclear meltdown in this thread but I think he'd be a fun character. Especially if he uses his two main Personas together.

Minato Arisato, eh? I see you're a man of culture as well.

Let's take the concept of Arsene and double down on that =)

Oh that's right, I heard that story. Over and over again. Don't really like how it ends.

Depends on how likely you see it after the trademark on the spirit event and the November release date on the website supposedly changing to coming soon which I haven't had chance to verify myself
It seems it'll be a matter of time then.

Hopefully. I do wonder how they'd cover it though. Maybe a random video dropped the day of release or later today like Joker, a livestream approach announced directly before it happened like Banjo or a direct maybe which could be announced later today or maybe like Hero with a livestream announced today for tomorrow

How certain is Terry getting released around this time?
I'm going to say don't bother with the copyright on the spirit event. It's just to add SNK to the list and it doesn't mean that Terry will be released on the 1st. Give it until the next week and then panic if he doesn't appear.

There is a chance that it is for SNK spirits so I wouldn't completely rule it off either

Sure, I'll take that.

Not likely since none of the Fighters Pass spirits have had their own event. I give it a 5% chance of it being a spirit event for SNK.

Pop Team Epic has one of the most bizarre anime of all time, go watch these lesbians **** **** up. Or else you will be upset
Definitely putting that on my watchlist.

"Todokete setsunasa i wa..."

But...I'll have to finish all the idol anime I stashed up in here.
