Jeese. If people were mad about Blizzard getting a character in Smash then they’ll be fuming at a LoL character.

Unless Riot's known for being really scummy, I kind of doubt that. LoL doesn't have that "annoying kids like it" reputation that Minecraft and Fortnite have. I find it kind of funny since Pokemon was kind of in a similar situation in its infancy. Worst is that the "EAT SPORTS" crowd gets involved. If they got anyone cool/up my alley, I'd be down for it though. I'd be willing to play their fighting game as it is anyhow, since I'm sure as hell not interested in a MOBA.

I lowkey think a League of Legends or some other popular MOBA/MMORPG franchise like WoW have a decent chance of getting in Smash.

So Chairman Rose has what I would like to call a Final Fantasy final boss theme.

This is by far my most favorite theme besides Toby's.
Edit:
Oh ****. Eternatus has come, and I have failed the vibe check.

I want to say they touched upon this but I don’t actually remember if they did. Other that that I guess they consider it the look of her character

Did any games even come out in 2019 to nominate?

This is sarcastic, just in case you can’t tell.

That's actually a somewhat accurate take on 2019 for games, believe it or not. Compare this year's games to 2018's and especially 2017's. 2019 looks empty by comparison. It honestly wasn't that great of a year for games unless you were a Switch owner. Sony and the PS4 in particular took a MASSIVE hit in quantity and quality especially when you compare them to last year (this year had Death Stranding and Days Gone, last year had GOW, Spider-Man, Detroit: Become Human and Dragon Quest XI at that point).

DMC5 better get a ton of nominations. But somehow, Death Stranding will win a bunch due to Dewrito Pope and Kojima being buddy-buddy with each other.

Agreed. Devil May Cry is easily in the Top 5 best games of the year. Three Houses, Mario Maker 2 and the RE2 remake are the only games that are on par with it. Death Stranding will likely win a lot of the technical awards (and agreed on Geoff and Kojima being very buddy buddy). The Outer Worlds might also get some stuff, but in terms of nominations, it will likely be Three Houses, Devil May Cry 5, Death Stranding and the RE2 remake (though it being a remake, this one could be unpredictable).

Also, I think Smash Ultimate is eligible for awards this year due to being too late last year to count for those nominations. If so, Smash Ultimate is better then almost every game this year if I'm being honest and this year just kept making it better.

Third Strike is a fun game to watch.

I do question whether or not stuff like the Outer World will get stuff due to being out towards the end of the year, but if it's good, it should get the attention it deserves.

This year was fine with actual releases, looking at the games you mentioned, plus KH3, LM3, DxM and Astral Chain. But this is bound to happen as Sony and Microsoft are heading towards the end of their current consoles. Hopefully this'll mean some big guns are headed to the upcoming stuff to make them worthwhile.

Judging by them likely referring to Blizzard's controversy regarding China, I'm pretty certain they were referring to Riot being 100% owned by Tencent.

Ah, I see. Then I can understand why others would take issue with them. Guess I'll be weary on whether I play their fighting game or not then.

Luckily the genre's on the upswing for the moment.

The last Pokemon game I remembered playing before I took a break from the series (and still am), was a freaking ROM hack.

We need justice for Spectacular Spider-Man too. And the Raimi movies + Spider-Verse if we're really lucky.

Those are still under Sony, sadly. I have TSSM and Spider-Verse on Blu-Ray though so I guess it's not a problem for me.

Max Raid Battles are annoying.

If I try and start one myself, no one joins. If I try and join one, its always seems to be closed. What's up with that?

Shame on him for not thinking about what his fanbase wanted.

There is no way that the cut was caused by anything other than constraints due to TPC's deadline. Masuda has been the ****ing worst for PR but it's not like he didn't know people would be upset

The entire situation will probably haunt him forever tho.

I mean, Rab, Sylv, and Erik's stories are quite literally 3/4s of the extra stories, so you could have just said that Jade's story was mega pointless.

I mean, besides explaining her allegiance to Booga and the state of Octagonia, her story did not have an impact on the game at all.

Yeah, which is why I didnt include it in my list, it just seemed all around pointless. I even skipped the cutscenes lol

The Smash fanbase doesn't even begin to compare with the LoL one in terms of how bad it is, I quit that game solely because of how awful the community was, and that was like 7 years ago, I can only imagine it's even worse now. I think the people who harp on about how bad the Smash community is would get a real wake up call if they met the LoL fanbase.

Out of interest, what's so bad about it? I'm curious as MOBAs are a completely alien genre to me so I dunno if that would translate to the fanbase being toxic in a different way to, for example, a fighting game

How would you like someone screaming that they hope you, your mother, your grandmother, and her ancestor from 100 years ago go die and get ****ed by a nail ridden baseball bat on the regular?

All because you died once?



And no, this isn't an exaggeration lol.


Riot's had to take MULTIPLE leaps and bounds to try to curb toxicity, which hasn't done a damn thing.


And VALVe with Dota2?.........Well............... There's a loooot of angry Russian people who'll scream in Russian at you.

I was genuinly therrified that people, like Professor Pumpkaboo said, actually wanted this thing that looks like it came out of Satan's arse. Thank heaves this was erradicated.

I mean, at first when I saw the Alola starters, I thought I was not going to like any of them like with the previous generation, but then I remembered that I love seals/sea lions and I saw how CUTE Popplio actually is. Plus, I have always had a soft spot for underappreciated characters/underdogs that have a lot of potential, since they, for me, are amazing characters even if other say otherwise. I love to show my appreciation for them since others won't. Right now, Popplio is my #1 Starter. And when it comes to Galar, like I thought was going to happen in Alola, I don't like any of the Starters.

Oh, so they weren't very clear or specific?


OWO HOLY MOLLY! That's a LOT of merch you got there! It's amazing! From all the stuff you got, I love the Ridley amiibo (:p Obviously), Rosalina, Wolf Link and Midna and the Squishy Metroid.

xD I only got Two Ridleys, Two Super Mario Rosalinas and Falco...and I think that's it.

Basically. My voice description was “happy mascot character,” and I was not provided an image or any context for my lines.

Still fun to do, though!

The major difference between fighting games and MOBAs are that in the former you only have yourself to blame for failures (or your character, in which case you can always change mains), where as in the latter the easy solution is to just blame your teammates, instead of looking at yourself. And people do this all the time, not just in MOBAs, but really any other team based PvP game. Add to this that these games attract an enormous audience of varying ages, as well as the average length of one match being ~45 minutes, and you've got a really bad cocktail going.
