What's interesting that despite 38 franchises represented via characters, only 4 have more than 3 characters. In fact, only 16 of them have at least two characters, 22 of them only have 1.
Now, if we're excluding legacy characters (characters that don't really have another feasible rep) and new franchise DLC, the franchises with 1 character are:
Metal Gear, Sonic, Pikmin, Mega Man, Yoshi, F-Zero, Wario, Pac-Man, Splatoon, Bayonetta, and Punch Out
Aren't there five with more than 3? Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, and Metroid.

Wario= Ashley
Pac-Man= Ms. Pac-Man as an echo fighter

Tails, Knuckles and Eggman should all be playable dont @ me.

One and all, prepare yourself for the second character in my ongoing MTG Smash Bros project. Prepare yourselves for the one and only Donkey Kong:

Stay tuned for next week's Samus, and my fraying sanity as I attempt to make a card for a character with so many different abilities that half of the term Metroidvania is named after her game.

...wait a ****ing minute
:ultmario::ultpikachu::ultmarth:: 8 total fighters (I prefer counting PT as 1 character)
:ultlink:: 6 total fighter (3 cause 3 Links, 2 Zeldas, and only 1G)
:ultsamus:: 4 total fighters
:ultdk::ultkirby::ultfox::ultpit:: 3 total fighters...be special Pittoo
:ultness::ultvillager::ultshulk::ultryu::ultcloud::ultsimon:: 2 (tho I guess someone could treat Mythra as a solo act...but not me)

and then the rest of the bad batch do indeed currently have only 1 playable character per franchise...for the most part you’re right

I'm slighly confused over why you gave him Deathtouch(the flavor of deathtouch is more poison-themed than raw strength), but otherwise I feel this one is overall pretty good.

I bought a copy of Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time on amazon like... a year ago. And big surprise, it doesn't work in either my PS2 or my PS3. It just keeps freezing on the loading screen before the first level in both systems. And since I waited so long to play it before even testing it, I can't get a refund. I'll take it to a local used game store and see if they can help me at all. God damn.

I wanted something to demonstrate how Donkey Kong's recovery could be exploited, so I gave his opponents deathtouch. I guess I felt like he would be underpowered if his opponents had deathtouch and he didn't unless he was like Hunted Nightmare and had higher than usual stats. I really like symmetry, so I decided to give him deathtouch as well but upon reflection, I probably should have given DK either Ward or maybe a fight ability.

tho it is funny how out of those 5 franchises, Zelda and Fire Emblem could both be considered to have the least variety in characters (FE cause of the amount of Marth type fighters there are...only a mere 4 Internet...and Zelda since multiple Links and Zelda)

This girl scares me. She's like 10% torso and 90% leg. How the **** does anatomy. I am struggling to comprehend how this functions.
I just wanna know what kinda diet these trainers be on. 10 year old kids looking like teens-adults and ****. Kinda like Inklings and Octolings where everyone looks like old teens or young adults, but a majority of them are 14...with drip

Look, I feel we shouldn't question this anymore. Cyrus is 27 and looks 47. These children are something that we just don't question.

Pokemon should accept that their target demographic is older and make games tailored to that demographic. Pokemon has a massive adult following Nintendo/Game Freak should capitalize on it. Digimon did.
I mean, I don’t disagree that there should be a little tweaking for their older audience. But tons of new kids are becoming Pokémon fans every day. They shouldn’t be left out.

The XY trainers are actually around 13-14.
...yeah I can kinda see it after looking at them

as someone who doesn't play Pokémon...I'm just gonna end up questioning things more than most of y'all

Example (before I accidentally pressed sent/save/post/what****ingever): Katy Perry being a Chu player. She must love Pika and Pi a lot more than the rest

If Pokemon's target demographic was actually older, SwSh aka Scourge of the Old Fans wouldn't see this well.

I can see more Pokken like spin-offs that appeal to adult fans but mainline Pokemon is wildly popular among children so there's no reason to risk that. Also... why would Nintendo try and imitate a franchise a lot less successful than Pokemon?

I'm not saying change the main games. GameFreak could make a series tailored more to a older audience.

I'd just have it so that you can create your own trainer and make them whatever age, gender, and species you want. A Pokémon hunting down their own kind

Marvel Studios' animated series What If is set to air on Disney+ in August:


I'm still eager to see the following films in which I may have to consider whether I want to get to watch them through premier access:
  • Cruella
  • Black Widow
  • Luca (free)
  • Jungle Cruise
Although it had been confirmed that Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Free Guy will have a 45 day exclusive release in theaters before it heads on to Disney+, I'm currently debating whether I should go to watch Shang Chi when it hits cinemas this September even though I should have my second vaccine dose probably within August.
