Here’s a small game idea I had:

This video is the literal stereotype of Scrimbo Bimblo fans, but unironic
If this video was portrayed as “my personal opinions on each dlc” there wouldn’t be an issue.

But y’know, subjectivity is dead.
For a TLDR of this vid since it's pretty long:
  1. Joker doesn't have a unique moveset
  2. Terry isn't a legacy character, he had no hype, is unimportant
  3. Banjo however is a legacy pick
  4. There is nothing unique about Sephiroth, he is a guy with a long sword
  5. Kazuya isn't unique at all, there was no hype, all he has is legacy
  6. Complains that there are too many fighting game characters. Complains tgat there are too many swordfighters. Complains that there is no cartoony characters besides Banjo and Steve
  7. Nintendi and Sakurai don't listen to fans
HIs ideal fighters pass

Good afternoon folks, I don't know who that person is, but looks like a member of the "Memes for Smash" crowd. But admittedly Shantae is the #1 fighter I want added to Smash

His complaints seem to be the really original "sword bad" complaint that I really never saw before around this community, and, what, "Terry isn't a legacy character"? Way to show he doesn't know what he is talking about, Terry is more legacy than Kazuya, clearly that person wasn't around when SNK was big. Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy your afternoon in this crazy train.

I was gonna give this video a chance.

But if what you said is true and there's no nuance to it....

Yeah, gonna keep my sanity on this one. Especially when he think Shantae (I like her, don't judge me) is more worthy than Kazuya or that 2 new fighting games character is "too much". (we only got 4 of those in total)

Also Terry is older than Waluigi, and as WAY more legacy than him, if only we count how KOF influenced Smash/Sakurai back in the arcade day.

I mean, it's his opinion and to each their own, but to offer my own opinion:

How the heck does one complain about anime and want Shantae.

Or any Wayforward character, for that matter. Wayforward's weeb as heck.

Finished watching A Quiet Place Part II. Overall definitely one of my favs this year. I'd put it as 4 after Godzilla vs. Kong, Nobody, and The Mitchells vs. The Machines.

Just as good as the first movie.

To be fair the least worthy* character there is Master Chief, I can't for the life of me understand the people who wants Master Chief in Smash.
Not the one to say why exactly since I myself isn't very familiar with the series but Halo was a pretty BIG deal back in the day, especially in the world of FPS & online game.

Plus he is-
Well Y’know. Halo’s a big deal, and Chief is the Xbox’s mascot. It’s makes sense.
Nevermind.

Legacy is important to him and he dumps on Sephiroth and Kazuya?

Bruh, I don't even like Kazuya and I know he's one of the most influential characters you can get for FGC games, lol.

I don't even like Terry, but the pick was solid and is rich with history.

This does kind of come off as "90's platformer good, everything else bad" narrative that's been spreading lately and as someone who adores that era of games...Yeesh, other genres and companies exist.

especialyl in the world of FPS & online game.
And that's one reason why I don't see him fitting.
and Chief is the Xbox’s mascot.
And here is another. It's not like Smash has branched out to include mascots from Sony or Xbox exclusive franchises. Also the reason why Crash is unlikely, but at least he fits better with the rest of the crew.

I'm just still confused they want Shantae.

How...How do you say anime isn't "hype" and want Shantae, of all things?

I don't get it. :138:

Well Y’know, we were saying the same things about Cloud a couple years ago.

Maybe not this time, but I do see Crash and Master Chief joining smash eventually. And I think they’d fit right in. Smash is no longer just about Nintendo, it’s now a celebration of gaming history. And Master Chief (and also Crash) are big parts of gaming history.

He's also talking about YouTuber reactions as an objective metric to the character's inclusion, and not enough people "jumped up and down" for Kazuya.

...

Maybe not everyone shrieks like a banshee when something they like is on screen? :138:
Some people forget that Banjo was a special case.

Characters beloved by Nintendo fans of that era who just kinda unceremoniously disappeared, and have never really shown up since. Not to mention they were a big smash request for 20+ years. That’s what made the reaction so intense, a childhood dream was being made real.

That’s not to say no other character could get that reaction, but it’s kinda weird to assume every single reveal must have a Banjo tier reaction or it’s trash.

Uhh, why the FPS dude can't make it in the game where:ultrob: does?

You can say he is from Nintendo, but nobody but the most hardcore of Nintendo fan would have choosed him to be playable back in Brawl, or today. Yet he just fit now.

That and C.Falcon only made it back in 64 due to his body type matching the model of the prototype of Smash 64, yet now he's a emblematic character for the whole series. (in spite of his own series being dead these days & even when it wasn't, F-Zero wasn't exactly the biggest franchise back then, at least compared to Mario & Zelda)

Finally, :ultsnake:, just, :ultsnake:.

Not saying you HAVE to like MC inclusion, but I say he (and Crash) isn't unworthy to getting in Smash.

By the end of June. Gonna be ranking my current 11 favorite movies of this year.

As it stands Godzilla vs. Kong, Nobody, and The Mitchells vs. The Machines currently remains as my top 3.

Then by the end of this year I'll finally rank my official list.

For a TLDR of this vid since it's pretty long:
  1. Joker doesn't have a unique moveset
  2. Terry isn't a legacy character, he had no hype, is unimportant
  3. Banjo however is a legacy pick
  4. There is nothing unique about Sephiroth, he is a guy with a long sword
  5. Kazuya isn't unique at all, there was no hype, all he has is legacy
  6. Complains that there are too many fighting game characters. Complains tgat there are too many swordfighters. Complains that there is no cartoony characters besides Banjo and Steve
  7. Nintendi and Sakurai don't listen to fans
That's gotta be a joke, right?
  1. I guess someone took the "Gun" meme a bit too literally. Also Joker gets points for actually being a fast, combo centric character I like to use.
  2. That just insults me on a personal level. No one insults my boy Terry like this. Unironically my hypest DLC character of the bunch.
  3. No comment on Banjo.
  4. Sephiroth isn't a guy with a long sword, he's THE guy with a long sword.
  5. I mean, why would anyone be hyped for a character from a small, indie game no one has every heard about, right? Oh wait...
  6. There are too many damn fighting game characters in my damn fighting game, how dare they.
  7. Translation: "Nintendo and Sakurai don't just cater to me"
Dude can't be serious, right? I mean, he complains Terry has "no legacy", yet wants Shantae? Hell, not every character appeals to me personally, but I'd be lying if I said I can't see why they were chosen, like Steve, for example. I personally don't care much for him, but there's no denying Minecraft is Huge with a capital H, not to mention the work that that went into him. I'm only disappointed we got Kazuya over Heihachi, but hey, at least we got someone from Tekken, was long overdue.

But I can't get over him saying Terry has no legacy, like damn, respect my boy Terry, will ya? At least people on Youtube rightfully called him out on that, only for him to act like a smug little child about this.

Exactly! Said it better than I could myself.

I get really loud when things I like are shown off. Like, I scream and jump up and down if I'm really happy.

But not everyone has that personality type. I'm sure Tekken fans were excited...If they also cared about Smash. Shocking, I know, more fighting games exist than Smash. :p

Plus, Tekken crosses over with everything nowadays. Most Tekken fans probably didn't blow up about it because it was just another crossover to them. Some Smash Bros. fans really can't comprehend not everyone bases their entire lives and personalities on whether or not Sakurai will bring back that one obscure character from my childhood back into HD. :drshrug:

Thing is that Cloud was chosen to represent FF which isn't a Playstation franchise (I would still have preferred Terra from FFVI but oh well). Maybe someday Nintendo can feel comfortable to pick up Playstation and Xbox IPs, I guess the seed has been planted with Banjo, but that was different. But so far, "this franchise is big on Xbox/Playstation" hasn't been the reason choose a character yet.
Finally, :ultsnake:, just, :ultsnake:.
Tbh not the best example to convince me, I love MGS, but Snake still feels the most out of place character for me, but Master Chief and "Fortnite Guy" would sure top that.

You got me, I guess "unworthy" wasn't the right word to use.
Just to be clear, there is no character alive that I would be mad about to see added to Smash, I left that phase back in the Sm4sh days. But MC is the last one I would pick from that image, he just feel out of place, even in that image alone, it's like "one of those things is not like the others" for me.
