Sorry to change topics here, but can I say that Turbo is probably the best Twist Villian Disney had? It's all because that he had a lot of build up, "Going Turbo" was used all over the film, Turbo himself was explained in a quick back story, King Candy was already implied to be evil after the scene where he went into the game's code, the real twist was more that Turbo was still alive than him being a villian, since we already knew that Turbo was a bit of a **** with his backstory.

I kinda think Wreck-it Ralph might be a perfect movie, definitely the best recent Disney Animation Studios movie.

And that's coming from someone who aldo really likes Frozen.

Have you tried resynching it?

I had to disconnect my joy cons for my pro controller to reconnect.

I wonder why.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Because Lilo is the wrong ethnicity in their eyes.

And we're getting this information from where?

Tbh, I feel like that movie had the most effort put into it out of every modern Disney film. A lot of them kinda played it safe with the same tropes Wreck it Ralph used.

Not counting Pixar.

 

[BlueMonk]

Oh, I think I get it now.

And by spook season, you mean Halloween, I take it?

Yes, I do.

 

[CannonStreak]

Yes, I do.

Okay, gotcha. I wonder if I should play Undertale?

 

[Lamperouge]

I'unno.

Maybe it's because the joy cons were considered the primary controller? Glad to hear that your issue was resolved, tho.

 

[Raxxel]

Finally decided my Halloween icon would just be my MK11 main since she's a sanguinaire, spooky enough.

I hate the feeling when I try to help a friend emotionally but there's literally nothing I can do to help. I feel useless right now. Like I'm doing something wrong. idk

You tried to help, that alone means you aren’t useless. Even if there isn’t much you can do, being there to support them helps a ton.

I don't think you'll find a direct confirmation, maybe I'm reading into more than I should, but I'd say it's pretty evident that Japan suffers from a form of Center of the universe syndrome.

 

[Aurane]

It's a fantastic game. If any of you haven't tried it yet, then stop what you're doing and go give it a try!

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

But why tho?

on why are they racist? Living a sheltered life would do that to ya

I genuinely feel like Pac-Man is one of the most overlooked characters in Smash. Nobody talks about him or even remember he's there and the franchise's presence in Smash is minimal. I don't remember the last time I met someone who was like "oh yeah, Pac-Man is my FAVORITE Smash character!"

Not saying he shouldn't be in the game (in 2014 I might have given you a different answer), it's just kinda odd how overshadowed he is.

Well Pac-Man IS my FAVORITE Smash character and I agree, I wish he wasn’t so overshadowed.

Because Lilo is the wrong ethnicity in their eyes, so they made a new, "better," Japanese Lilo for Stitch to be best friends with.

God forbid a main character should look Hawaiian when they the setting of the film is freaking HAWAII.

 

[Noipoi]

Well Pac-Man IS my FAVORITE Smash character and I agree, I wish she wasn’t overshadowed.

We ain’t talkin about Ms. Pac-Man here.

 

[Wademan94]

We ain’t talkin about Ms. Pac-Man here.

I somehow put “s” there when I was trying to incorporate “so” into that sentence

 

[StormC]

I was against Pac-Man in Smash 4 because... *checks notes* the character is a nothing with no personality and nobody cares about besides the original classic arcade game. I totally wasn't deflecting because I was frustrated at K. Rool and Ridley being no shows. Not at all.

...the trailer and this picture won me over on his inclusion at least:

In retrospect it's all very silly. But Smash 4 speculation was not a fun time for me.

 

[Deleted member]

Well Pac-Man IS my FAVORITE Smash character and I agree, I wish he wasn’t so overshadowed.

Really, I blame Pac-maze being omitted for why Pac-man isn't as notable a third party. That is his defining stage and you somehow don't include it.

 

[Noipoi]

That maze is just as iconic as Pac-Man himself. Maybe even a little more.

So obviously let’s go with PAC Land.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Sans and The Great Papyrus are my favorite Dental Rue characters.

Speaking of Undertale, why is Megalovania such a popular song? Don't get me wrong, it is a good song, but I never understood why it is so popular...

Spoiler: Undertale Spoilers

Sans is funny and mysterious; he seems to be aware of timeline anomalies and time travel itself, he has “shortcuts” where he seems to just teleport through something or goes the opposite way from where he ends up, and he’s very observant and analytical, able to tell even how many times you’ve died just from the Human’s facial expression. Even the residents of the Underground have no idea where he and Papyrus came from; the shopkeeper in Snowdin tells you that they “just showed up one day and...asserted themselves” implying they just came right in yet no one even questioned them. Sans also has hidden power which he displays in his boss fight, and you can only fight him in a No Mercy run.

In the Asriel fight, when you have to save everyone, he also acts sad instead of funny, with what he says implying he’s normally trying to hide or shrug off some sense of depression or that he’s given up hope. There’s also W. D. Gaster, a mysterious character that appears as a rare event (or if you set a certain “fun” value in the files on the PC version), which he seems to have a connection to because of his “Gaster Blasters.”

Deltarune adds a bit to his mystery; despite Kris never meeting him, you have the option to tell him that it’s nice to see him again; he says something about how y’all never met before or whatever, but he winks as if he knows something / he’s just being comical. He also just ripped Grillby’s straight out of Undertale, just lazily marking the name out and adding “ans” after the “‘S”, passing it off as his restaurant or store or whatever he said.

As for Megalovania, it rocks and has been used in funny ways over the years even though it was supposed to be serious. I guess it’s kinda funny ingame, too; this little, mysterious but funny skeleton man suddenly gives you a big, frustrating challenge complete with a new theme.

 

[Wademan94]

I wish they made a new stage for him based of the Championship Edition games,

There could’ve also been some ways to work around the whole eating ghosts gimmick from the 3DS stage too, but nope we get MSPaint Land.

All we can really hope for is that they make separate stage DLC like they did with Smash 4 to patch in any missing stages or maybe even make new ones.

It's a damn shame that Pac-man was given the most visually unpleasant stage in the game.

[DerpingPikachu]

Pac-man was my most wanted in smash 4, although i'm still bummed at how there is no representation of pac-man world. Atleast some trophies of his friends and maybe toc-man would have been nice.

 

[Deleted member]

TFW the N64 stages look better than your stage.

 

[Wademan94]

It's a damn shame that Pac-man was given the most visually unpleasant stage in the game.

And obnoxious stage layout, at least Mushroomy Kingdom and 3D Land was zoomed out well enough and 3D Land had a couple parts where it resembled a standard stage to break up the moving

 

[Cosmic77]

And here's Cosmic's unpopular opinion of the day.

Spoiler

I actually kind of like Pac-Land. Aside from staying true to the orginal game, it's got a really basic, almost childish design that makes it stand out from other stages.

You're not doing anything wrong. Speaking from experience, sometimes there isn't anything you can do. Emotions and psychology are immensely complicated. There's a reason that, despite these things having been a field of study for about a century, we still are pretty clueless as to how it all works. Everyone is unique, and what helps one person feel better won't always help someone else feel better. Sometimes, someone just needs someone to talk to and provide some friendly support, and that's it. But for some people, all the support and acts of kindness in the world won't budge their emotions.

The best people to trust with helping with those kinds of issues are professional psychologists who understand all the invisible components at play and can put together a more holistic understanding of people's problems. The trouble is that being able to go to therapy, finding a therapist that's good for you, and being able to attend sessions for weeks and months isn't always easy. Because those resources are unfortunately not always accessible or a good fit for you, and it takes time to build a relationship and understanding between the therapist and patient and be able to unpack the issues in an accurate way.

So the best thing you can do, depending on whether this person is online or someone close to you, is to help them find a therapist, clinic, or some other resource that they can go to and that can help them with their issues. You're doing your best, but you're not a trained psychologist who can diagnose and attack the problems that go on in the mind. Sometimes, the best way to help is to simply direct people to a place that can provide better help. Beyond that, all you can do is pray.

This is, of course, speaking rather generally, so if I'm off the mark and not being helpful, feel free to disregard.

I like him a lot though. And his trailer had such a banger theme. Maybe it's because he's such a simple character people aren't as attached to him like the other third parties?

That's what his Up-Air and Side-B are for. But I get what you mean. I would have liked some tracks or something from the games, even the Kart Racing one.

Well if it's any consolation I like Pac-Land too I just don't think it's as good as Pac-Maze.

I see that you never watched a "Smartest BIG BRAIN Plays in Smash" video.

I like Pac-Land, but I would’ve preferred Pac-Maze.

Seriously though...how do you NOT have a maze-based stage with Pac-Man?! They should’ve just made a new maze stage if they couldn’t get the gimmick to work, and you’d think they could’ve made the player glow their color while the ghosts have a corresponding outline or something...

And it doesn’t help that Bamco pretends the World games don’t exist

After Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Pokémon Sword, I think I’m gonna get Sonic Mania.
