i'm pretty sure macaroni and cheese doesn't taste very good with a lot of salt.

thank you for trying to get me to consider new cooking ideas. i will try to be more creative in the future.

Absolutely.

...

So what characters do you guys think will be cut in the next Smash Bros?

Sorry, but didn't we have this discussion yesterday?

Maybe something like "Which character from a genre you've not played extensively would you like to see"? (For me, Adol / Gilgamesh since I don't have much RPG experience.)

Why not both? "Which character from a genre you've not played extensively do you guys think will be cut in the next Smash Bros? " :4pacman:

But to answer the question seriously, I'd go with Doom Slayer or Master Chief. I don't particularly want them except for watching people's reactions, but FPS is one of the biggest genres out there and it's a bit baffling that it's still unrepresented in Smash outside of Metroid Prime.

I'd also say someone from a strategy game/God simulator or a Musou, but I don't have a clear character in mind for those.

Funnily enough, Reimu. Touhou is the only shoot-em-up/bullet hell I've actually played, in no small part because of the characters and especially the soundtrack. It's really ironic; One of my most wanteds is from a genre I rarely ever play.

To a lesser extent, Isaac. Action RPGs seem to have become my preferred genre in the past couple years, be it "pure" action RPG (Trials of Mana, Ys VIII) or partial action RPG (Bloodstained, Astral Chain), but I've actually never completed a traditional, turn-based RPG beyond Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Shield, both of which are more focused on the monster catching. Part of Golden Sun's appeal for me is that it seems like a good starting point for the genre, which I have next to no experience with.

Hm, I haven't dabbled much in life/farming simulation games but something like Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley would be neat to see.

I also don't play many puzzle games either (I've enjoyed what I have played tho) but Arle is one of my most wanted.

I haven't played much in the way of horror games (it's pretty much Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil 4, and Resident Evil 5, and I'm honestly not sure if the last two count - there's also Dead By Daylight and Friday the 13th, but those aren't as scary since they're either purely multiplayer or the only single-player content has you controlling the killer), but I'd like to see Alexandra Roivas or Leon Kennedy in Smash (or Jill Valentine; I'm just more familiar with what Leon can do, since I've actually played a Resident Evil game where he's playable).

If you twist words and definitions enough, Mario Paint could be considered non-gaming Software and that has an assist so Miku could in fact be eligible.

Yes, yes and ROB isn't actually a video game character, he's a piece of technology. That doesn't make a Nokia phone more likely by extension, it just means Nintendo likes showing off hardware.

I've NEVER beat a single horror game. That said, I think the concept of a Resident Evil character is really cool, Chris or Jill having a mix of police martial arts with powerful resource based military equipment would be an interesting concept.

At least I'd like that if they weren't competing with another Capcom series I liked.

Yeah, we were talking about it a page or two before.

If anything, there's a good chance of League spinoffs showing up at TGA. That's more than enough incentive for me to watch. :laugh:

Ah my bad, was about 100 pages back so I missed it. May actually give it a play since I know my brother is buying it at some point

Before I read this I thought the trailer was for Hades DLC or something. lol


Also, it kind of feels like you need to understand League of Legends lore before you could understand this.

I needed to make a very flimsy point that actively ignores past precedent to prove why my character is 100% guaranteed and why your most wanted is unlikely and stinky:strongbad:

Hatsume Miku could happen but I don't know why she would, just the character itself wouldn't really work for Smash.
