Tomorrow is when Crawl comes out on disc! Definitely picking it right away!

 

[Noipoi]

Noipoi ! Give me back my day planner!

No

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

No one cares but change of plans, my mom decided The dog is better with the family he is with right now. young couple with no kids, took him to the beach and everything, Its for the best and personally, sounds like a loving family

Hopefully it is just me, but most people around Discord seem to really stand against Pauline being added in any Smash game for "being too human".

I personally disagree with those statements, but I sadly can't do much about it.

Yeah, I think it's best to ignore Smash fanbase's weird hate for human characters.

It's an argument they only bring up when it's conventional for them and makes zero sense.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Hi peeps, how's it going?

 

[DerpingPikachu]

Hi peeps, how's it going?

Gooood
What about you?

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I honestly do.

I can easily see her using the Minis from Mario vs Donkey Kong, the items from the DK arcade, dance moves and even stuff such as tennis rackets.

Mini DK could easily be her Up B which works like a bouncer.

I suppose that could work.

Because we have too many anime swordfighters! Meanwhile the poor cartoony punchies never get that kind of love! There's only so many ways to swing a sword. Now punching, that never gets old! We should have more punchies!

im not sure if someone mentioned it, but the saturday, My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic just ended with 9 years of magical friendship. All i can say as bronie is this.
"Don’t cry because it’s over; smile because it happened"

Edit: Its me or the inserted images are not working?

No

I swear if you don’t give me back that day planner I’ll subject you to unfathomable pain in places you didn’t even know you had!

Comparing Zelda's situation to Fire Emblem's really doesn't make any sense. Zelda tends to keep the core set of Link/Zelda/Ganon (or at the very least just Link) while introducing non-recurring side characters. This is different from Fire Emblem, which not only swaps out side characters, but the entire cast. It's not comparable.

That being said, I do think there are still good options for Zelda characters, in an area that is currently untapped in Smash. While Zelda doesn't have many recurring characters, it does have recurring races. We've gotten Hylians (Link, Link, Link, and Zelda), Sheikah (Sheik), and Gerudo (Ganondorf), but we've yet to get any Gorons or Zora. The general Goron and Zora body types are things that aren't really seen in Smash, after all, and the natural abilities of those races work really well in moveset theory crafting. Yeah, Daruk and Darunia may not be recurring, but Gorons are. Mipha and Ruto may be one offs, but the Zora themselves aren't.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

What's everyone's three favorite characters ever? Mine are

1. Daggett (The Angry Beavers)
2. Tie between Godzilla and Gamera
3. King Kong

For the people that play Rivals of Aether, a Agumon mod is almost finished

I honestly find it really ironic that many Smash fans talk about how much they have played Nintendo games since the N64 or NES days as if that meant they know everything regarding Nintendo characters... Just to then claim for example that Pauline can only dance and be kidnapped as if they only played Odyssey and heard about the DK arcade.

Even when she was a key character in the entire Mario vs DK series, which alone gives enough material for her moveset already.

 

[Deleted member]

I should never be allowed to use Blender again.
Apparently the image is too cursed for Smashboards to handle.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

What about you?

Doing ok. Finished the clothing organization section of the moving project I'm on.

I have until October 25th to have everything ready to go.

Jet Jaguar, Susan Storm and Ash Williams from media that isn't videogames.

Samus Aran, Yangus and Pauline from videogames.

It's funny how people complain about too many fighting/JRPG characters and then write-off unconventional character choices like we don't already have

Ok. I get that the hate for “anime Swordfighters” is overblown. But don’t try to tell me that most of the Fire Emblem characters give off a similar vibe.

I think it’s a perfect comparison. Fire Emblem by itself breaks the “it needs to be a recurring character/element rule” because if it were a rule we wouldn’t have any Fire Emblem characters. Rosalina was in 4’s project plan before she became a mainstay. At the time, for all Sakurai knew, she would have just been a one-off. But he liked Galaxy enough to add her. And now she’s a Mario mainstay probably because she was in Smash. Same with Bowser Jr. sure, he’s been in a good chunk of games, but you’d be hard pressed to argue that he’s an important and integral recurring character. Heck, he’s not even in odyssey. Neither is Rosalina. I see no problem with adding in other Zelda characters if they’re interesting and unique.

You know what also breaks this rule? Pokémon.

Or cartoony punchy dudes who we have just as much of as 'aneem swooerds', if not more

 

[Noipoi]

In retaliation for the hatred of anime swordsmen people are now starting to hate on cartoony mascots.

War is upon us.

 

[PeridotGX]

Can we all agree that Kirby needs one more rep? I just don´t really know who they could pick though.*cough cough* Bandanna Dee *cough cough*

Nah, Kirby doesn't deserve another rep.

It deserves two more. at least.

I mean that kind of happens when the majority of them have the same moveset. It's the same problem as the 3 Links

Yeah but

cartoony punchy dudes are funnier

 

[Cosmic77]

Yeah, I think it's best to ignore Smash fanbase's weird hate for human characters.

It's an argument they only bring up when it's conventional for them and makes zero sense.

I don't really think the Smash fanbase favors a specific category of characters over humans. Yeah, we have characters like Crash and Geno, but there's also Sora, Doomguy, Steve, and Ryu Hayabusa.

Smash might be biased against swordfighters and anime, but I don't think humans in general have ever been an issue.

Honestly, you really could pull a Hero with Marth, Roy, Chrom, and Lucina and I don’t think anyone would complain.

You know why Ike has two models, right?

 

[SnakeFighter64]

His costume from his appearance in two different games.

Okay. So Ike is the only eligible Fire Emblem character then? Like, this doesn’t undermine my point.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Yeah but

Nah, the excuse is that the people hating 'aneem' only ever played all the cartoony platformers that existed and to this day only play those.

For the record I only ever mention the large amount cartoony punchy dudes as a counterpoint to 'waaaaah aneeeeeeeem' as I'd like Crash despite how we all know he'd be a whacky wahoo punchy dude

 

[PeridotGX]

Honestly, you really could pull a Hero with Marth, Roy, Chrom, and Lucina and I don’t think anyone would complain.

I would complain. I prefer the Roy/Chrom playstyle much more than the Marth/Lucina one, and I would imagine they would prioritize Marth's.

Pretty sure the uploader blew itself up again

also I haven’t played either but isn’t Roy in both games of blazing and binding bade?

 

[Cosmic77]

Honestly, you really could pull a Hero with Marth, Roy, Chrom, and Lucina and I don’t think anyone would complain.

People WOULD complain, but I'd honestly be more than okay with it since I really don't see the purpose in rehashing a single character three times.

I think combining Marth/Lucina and Roy/Chrom would be a nice middle ground, but again, people would definitely complain if this happened.

Mate I’ve played platformers and jrpgs by the dozen. I love both the styles.

I just think that when it comes to Smash, the platformer mascots are funnier. They’re allowed to make wacky expressions and movements.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Can you believe were already through half of October? November nears every day and the closer we get to the final DLC fighter for this pass.

Are you sure? I remember a lot of complaints about human/anime/realistic characters in Smash 4. But nobody complained when Simon was the only unique human base game newcomer.

Honestly, you really could pull a Hero with Marth, Roy, Chrom, and Lucina and I don’t think anyone would complain.

I think a lot of actual Fire Emblem fans would complain, same with people who just like Roy/Chrom/Lucina's movesets.

Plus, what's the point of getting rid of Roy's flames? That's what makes him visually stand out.

 

[Deleted member]

It would be awesome to see a Switch port of 3D World that adds Pauline as a playable character.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Still betting on either an Capcom rep, Crash, Doom Slayer or Ryu Hayabusa as DLC fighter 5.

No you idiot.

The most oppressed smash characters are the puzzle game mascots.
