Where do you think Smash’s roster would have been if he had actually included James Bond (Goldeneye 007) in Melee? What do you think the “rules” would have become?

Character has to have appeared in a video game. Not originated, just appeared.

We’d have Goku, Spongebob, and Mickey Mouse by now.

I’m still dumbfounded EVO thought it was a good idea to show Snake’s codec as a joke during Tekken.

Imagine if like, they did that with Smash and Sora or something. People would be burning down the building.

So I'm starting to realize that as you build a fanbase you start to see all their varying views and a lot of them don't align with your own.

I don't like having a spotlight on me.

The rule would probably be that character must at least be in a hugely popular game. Sponegbob (Battle for Bikini Bottom), Goofy/Donald (Kingdom Hearts), and Goku (FighterZ) would probably be towards the top of the list.

For Smash?

Likelihood wise I have no idea. But man I'd love an Edelgard reveal.
I’d prefer Dimitri or Claude, but if we get a 3H character it will surely be her.

I legit love Lorenz, he is such a good character
Just about every character that seems bad or at least uninteresting proves to be way better the more supports you get with them.

Lorentz is definitely a great example.

And ironically despite how he is presented at the start, he looks like he is about to marry several of the female characters I’ve seen supports with him in. So he goes from failing miserably with the ladies to wooing them left and right. That’s character growth right there lol.

I always imagined that this stuff happened a lot to the more creative types who start to form a fanbase. I suppose I was correct. You're always going to have your own vision, and there are always other people's visions which will contradict your own. It's up to your judgement to decide which ideas to carry out and which to hold on to.

consider the following:

I wouldn't be surprised if they bumped up the regular September direct to august, for two reasons.

1. To promote the Nintendo Switch Lite
2. To promote whatever they're going to do to incentivize people to renew their Switch Online subscription.

i'll reiterate that as it's coming from sabi, this is extremely unlikely to be pokemon-related

it's also unlikely to be smash-related, but that's another matter entirely

Guys.

I know what my first game is going to be.

Am I ready for this?

We’ll see.

Not vision. It's politics and general lifestyle choices.

You follow a guy back because he followed you, then see a ton of far right retweets and conspiracy theory stuff. Or another guy who retweets porn and makes constant disparaging posts about women.

I made a tweet about the shooting in my hometown and got a reply about gun control politics. I suddenly realized that I'm representing a brand and not just my personal views, and how to best respond is suddenly hard. I feel a sort of obligation to use what little platform I have for positive change, but I also don't want to rope everyone involved in our projects under my political umbrella, or alienate fans because our views are different.

I just want to make funny videos and release them and be done. Why do I have to be on social media too. God. Damn.

Ohhh. I thought you were referring to OPMeat's requests they get and stuff. My apologies. But yes, I do suppose that would be an issue. Separating art from the artist can be difficult for some.

Nothing to apologize for.

Though that's a thing too. One of the first comments on our Fire Emblem parody was "This isn't Gundam!" Like, we're allowed to make other stuff, back off.

I imagine that can be stressful. I don’t really know what to say to that, but it doesn’t sound fun.

You can have your political views, but that guy who shoves their own down someone else’s throat isn’t fun. I have mine, but I’m not gonna go door to door and cram them into people’s ears.
