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.

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.

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

I wonder why.
I'unno.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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

So obviously let’s go with PAC Land.

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.

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.

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?

Thank you. That whole paragraph means a lot; you wouldn't believe.

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.

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 :ohwell:
