I told everyone it was going to be controversial XD
Redefining by throwing out the one constant that makes it a Smash game? It's not a celebration of media, it's a celebration of games. Spice for spice's sake doesn't add anything, all it does is overwhelm the already existing flavor. Were picks like Sakura, Zagreus, the Mystery Dungeon version of Grovyle specifically not spicy enough, even though the real deal would certainly never do them? Master Chief? Gholdengo? Crazy Dave? Mortal Kombat and GTA representation? Buck Bumble representation? It had plenty of spice as is without dipping into non-gaming material.
And now you're even being arbitrary about what kind of content. Ghostbusters is one of my favorite franchises of all time but it's not some huge thing like it is in the States. Either commit to opening the floodgates or don't. Personally, I think you should've left it at video games. There's a million other threads where this stuff would work here. Why did you have to let it seep into here. This isn't Smash anymore, it's gone past the point of even remotely realism into the cringe fanfiction level.
Sorry, I meant if we do include a 4th party character, it will be from the Japanese sphere. Other content would need to be rather relevant, warrant inclusion, and, as Mushroomguy said, very rare.
I am going to commit to pushing the envelope without going full ham to keep the thread interesting and progressive. I tried to carefully tiptoe a fine line between what is realistic and what is "pushing the envelope". I understand you have a lot of grievances on choices we made with the thread b ut, again, they were choices we made as a community. That is important I don't really care if those choices were "not realistic" such as Crazy Dave or Mortal Kombat... because the community decided.
As for Infinite Beyond, my goal is to make is realistic in a sense but I long have abandoned "absolute realism" because, yeah, a roster of 130+ character is not realistic by any stretch of the imagination. Infinite Beyond was made to take the formula of Smash to see it expand while making risky moves because it has the model and capacity to do so. It's become less of a "project" and more so "a fun thread" .
To be honest, my interest in this thread and the project since Infinite has deviated from having an intellectual investment and more so "I want to see cool **** get included". I want to experiment and try new things for the sake of making the thread fun and unique compared to how Infinite was. So, yes, I am willing to disembark partially from the "realism train" that we jumped off long ago to bring some juice into the thread otherwise.... it's Infinite 2.0. I want to make it more than that.
From my experience running two Smash create threads: If you want to be realistic game, you need to create one where you are the sole creator or the people involved are fully onboard with your vision of a 100% realistic Smash.
If you want to create a Smash Creates thread, you will need to be a bit lenient with content or else it won't be fun or representative of the community that contributes to it. So it won't be 100%. I will try to communicate regarding this issue but I probably won't be available until Thursday'ish so if you guys comment on this issue, please be patient. I will respond.
