No you idiot.

The most oppressed smash characters are the puzzle game mascots.

You know, if everyone rises up, we all stay in the same relative place.

Look at this magnificent beautiful beard.

I shall refer to him as Kratos Kong from then on.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

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?

Blazing Blade has a cameo of him as a child as it's a prequel, he only appears at the end as that's when Eliwood settles down


Also Pokemon anime is bad actually

I wanted to respond to this with one of my Joker pics and a semi creepy “let’s just let go and enjoy things” Line, but images are broken so what’s even the point.

I don't even understand why either side is complaining about cartoony characters and anime characters when Ultimate has been pretty even so far.

I'm not really sure where fall, but they wouldn't change much anyways.

Again, I only bring it up to point out hypocrisy of "aneem sword bad cartoon punchy good"

Because what I like is good and what others like is bad. And I feel the need to assert my superiority.

The solution? Realistically designed human character! I’ve always wondered how Sakurai would handle a design like that.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

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

If you wanna be fair, those cartoony characters tend to have more varied movesets, whereas most of the "anime swordsmen" use their swords for almost every move. Like, Pac-Man has punches and kicks but can also summon the ghosts and use fruit, Wario can use his shoulder bash and his motorcycle, etc. I'd imagine that's why the swordfighters get hated on more.

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.

October's been a funny month so far.

Literally 99% of the population: October's back, which means halloween and trick or treating and pumpkin spice are back <3
Me, a weirdo: NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE IS BACK YEET

I do like how the weather's cooling down though. Wearing long sleeves feels really comfy in the evenings. When we reach November perhaps it'll be time to swap over to long sleeve full time until April and whatnot.

I mean.... that’s all good and bad really are when you boil them down to their base. Something that you like is good, something you don’t is bad. It’s all subjective.

Kukui made a few mistakes as well, such as forgetting Whirlpool wouldn't effect a heavy Melmetal.

It's not just Ash.

My problem relies mostly on the people who apply the "too human" or "too lacking for a moveset" with characters such as Pauline who do actually have a moveset potential and fit well enough.

You say that but when say, Cloud has more unique moves than a cartoon punchy, they still complain. They just hate swordfighters because they hate everything that isn't exactly what they want

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.

This is my biggest gri_e with how Zelda currently stands on the roster right now: not numbers of fighters or however long it's been since the last one, but that the current selection doesn't do justice to the series; you wouldn't be blamed for thinking that the series was mostly blonde elf _eo_le when it's 2 and 3 variations of the same characters

Wait when the hell has weight ever mattered for Whirlpool?

You forgot the P’s in people

You say that but when say, Cloud has more unique moves than a cartoon punchy, they still complain. They just hate swordfighters because they hate everything that isn't exactly what they want

I don’t know where you were, but I saw nothing but happiness when Cloud got announced. Everyone was flipping out about how he changed the very idea of Smash eligibility as we knew it.

We already have Snake.

That doesn't explain why people hate on Corrin's moveset.

Do people hate Corrin’s moveset? I never saw that.

I just thought people hated Corrin herself. Both because of Fates and because she’s another fremblem.

 

[Gyrom8]

The laws of S_ooktober dictates I maintain this gimmick for another 17 or so days

Sorry, Noi_oi, dem's the rules

 

[Cosmic77]

It's circumstantial. While I will admit that I have more faith in cartoony characters being unique than swordfighters, that's not a hard rule. Robin is more unique than Isabelle.

But I don't think you can really get mad at someone for complaining about the Smash attacks and aerials of swordfighters being too similar. If you plan on using a sword for an attack, you're kinda limited to how unique you can make said attack. Even Sakurai himself voiced having a difficulty with making swordfighters feel unique.

Snake is primarily based on his MGS1-3 look. While the series did take on a more realistic look as it went on, those first three games are still anime. Very grounded anime, but not as realistic as something like Uncharted or The Last of Us.

 

[Noipoi]

Which is why we need Thwomp in Smash.

There are a lot of "they use a sword, so their unique moves doesn't count" arguments.

People literally called Corrin a Marth clone just for having a counter.

"Anime"? I'm pretty sure they all use 3D models, and pretty realistic ones on top of that.

Then you certainly didn't see how many people whined he looked too similar to Ike or that he's too anime and that we should have gotten a cartoony SE character

*looks at all the sword fighting styles completely absent in Smash as Smash generally uses finesse sword moves or generic slashes alongside the fact games like Guilty Gear or SamSho make their swordies extremely different with said styles*
Sure, Jan

To be fair, I do really wish so many characters didn’t have counters. Even characters like King K. Rool and Joker. I can never get the timing right so it’s basically “strike a pose”. Wish they had actual... attacks.

 

[Deleted member]

The Smash Fandom has been debating for months if Waluigi could get a Fighter moveset to the point that not even Smash Flash 2 could cease the debates by adding Waluigi to their roster.

And at the same time, the Smash fandom refuses to believe for the most part that Pauline has appeared outside Mario Odyssey and the DK arcade to believe she lacks moveset potential. Sometimes extending themselves to claim she is too human-like for a Switch port of 3D World.


Mario characters live in a society where they are oppressed.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

No, they like female corrin because she has boobs but they hate the male one just for looks

All together all the FE characters are hated because "uugh swords"

 

[Schnee117]

The whole point of a counter is that they're for when you read what the opponent does and punish them accordingly.
They're pretty common in fighting games as a whole.

 

[Noipoi]

I hate it when characters have counters.

Im bad at math.

 

[Z25]

Blazing Blade has a cameo of him as a child as it's a prequel, he only appears at the end as that's when Eliwood settles down


Also Pokemon anime is bad actually

That’s what I thought it was like since I knew one was eliwoods story. So I would say that kind of counts too

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Characters get hated on for all kinds of reasons, but the main reason I saw for Corrin is that there were already five FE reps before him.
