Juju should have been in over Shulk

Oh, absolutely.

His moveset could've even consisted of him crashing his buggy into completely avoidable parts of the stage terrain and just being generally useless.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I wouldn't necessarily say "x should've been in over y" is petty. There are even cases of it I'd agree with. It all depends on the context.

I can’t help but agree with you.

Spoiler: Please don’t read I really don’t want people to be mad at me but I can’t stop myself from posting it.

Decidueye instead of Incineroar
Geno instead of Sephiroth (even though I ****ing love Sephiroth)
And Crash and DoomSlayer in place of Byleth and Pyra/Mythra

 

[Wunderwaft]

You know who should've been in over literally every other character?

Spoiler

I read it.

And now I’m mad at you.

You should’ve stopped yourself from posting it.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

there's only one character who should've been in over everyone

Spoiler: you know it

 

[Noipoi]

Every character inclusion is ****

Should’ve been Mr. Mosquito.

 

[Lamperouge]

Smash roster ain't **** until Tetris joins the battle, sorry.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Remember when someone made a fake Buck Bumble spirit leak

good times

 

[Metal Shop X]

Smash roster ain't **** until Tetris joins the battle, sorry.

Why the **** is the original Pong not in Smash as a playable character

 

[Noipoi]

I hate leaks that get your hopes up

 

[Jondolio]

I just beat SMRPG
WAIT IS THAT LUIGI IN THE CREDITS?!

Decidueye instead of Incineroar

Based

Geno instead of Sephiroth (even though I ****ing love Sephiroth)

Not based but understandable and I would've probably agreed with you before we got Sephiroth

And Crash and DoomSlayer in place of Byleth and Pyra/Mythra

Not based+Common Snake L+Ratio

 

[TMNTSSB4]

This movie is going to be a ****ing mess with the villains and Spider people that it's juggling.

And I'm all for it.

after Infinity War and Endgame, the MCU can throw in as many character in a single movie as they can and want to, so long as they keep it as hype as those and NWH

John Wick: Kid Edition.

I thought it was the opposite?

first Mort did the dumping during the wedding itself, then CJ did it and kept it on after the wedding. It’s like a double dumping out of nowhere

 

[KillerCage]

Apparently, there is now a film about a child going through hell and back to get an NES.

…Huh!

The People who made Elf made this?
HARD.
PASS.

Also anymore questions for me?

Q&A - Weekly AMA: KillerCage (ROUND 3)

KillerCage This AMA's subject managed to squeeze 3 AMAs in a little under a year, KillerCage! Now this ain't KillerCage's first AMA here as they were a subject twice before. I'd strongly recommend checking out KillerCage's initial AMA from last year along with their second one earlier this...

[Jondolio]

I enjoyed SMRPG quite a bit but I'm glad I can finally cross that game off my backlog. It's been there for years and I can now a certified "Geno fan who has played Super Mario RPG"

Now I can focus on The Great Ace Attorney

 

[Lamperouge]

Saying Geno should've been in over any of the DLC characters we got is a terrible take, TBH

 

[Momotsuki]

You all joke, but I do think the best way to represent Tetris as a fighter wouldn't be via a specific Tetrimino, but through Tetris itself. I honestly think you could make a super interesting fighter out of this premise. An abstract Mario-sized mass of orbiting Tetriminos with a moveset revolving around Tetris' own game mechanics in a similarly abstract manner. Imagine a T-spin forward air, or a down smash involving slamming a yellow piece down directly in front of it.

 

[ZephyrZ]

If you've been through what I've been through when backing Decidueye, it's really not.

All character supporters say this.

It's a natural result of how petty and political Smash support gets. All characters with a sizable community get flack from rival ones.

I wouldn't necessarily say "x should've been in over y" is petty. There are even cases of it I'd agree with. It all depends on the context.

That's called having an opinion and stating it as fact.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

I made a Falcom thread if anyone here likes Ys, Trails and other games that company made

 

[Jondolio]

Saying Geno should've been in over any of the DLC characters we got is a terrible take, TBH

While I wouldn't want to trade any of the characters we currently have for others
I would've been 100% fine without Min Min and I would've definitely taken Geno over her any day of the week

 

[Noipoi]

I mean I dunno, dawg.

Byleth is right there.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

That's called having an opinion and stating it as fact.

It's having an opinion, but I don't see it as stating it like a fact. You could add "I think" to the beginning and it'd be roughly the same sentence.

He's equally bad as Banjo so I'd say replacing him would just be a cold take.

 

[Noipoi]

I dunno why you hate Banjo so much, they’re just funny little animals bro.

 

[Jondolio]

So "waste of a roster slot" is bad but this is fine?

 

[Momotsuki]

Ultimate speculation is over and the G-word still brings this out in folks.

 

[osby]

Kazooie is hilarious.

Her bro is the fictional character equivalent of a white bread.

So "waste of a roster slot" is bad but this is fine?

No, it's going to be fine after I make fun of Banjo's shaved feet.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

I can’t help but agree with you.

Spoiler: Please don’t read I really don’t want people to be mad at me but I can’t stop myself from posting it.

Decidueye instead of Incineroar
Geno instead of Sephiroth (even though I ****ing love Sephiroth)
And Crash and DoomSlayer in place of Byleth and Pyra/Mythra

I agree with the first and disagree with the second. The third isn't much of a question since Byleth and Pythra are much easier to get than Crash or Doomslayer, and were added as promotional picks.

I wonder if this game will make people remember that you can side with the god actually.

The last time games gave you any good reason to do it was SMT II unless you count Strange Journey.

 

[Jondolio]

You seem to really have it out for the big hardcore Nintendo fan favorites. I can't really understand why that is nor do I really care if you feel that way but if you're going to openly **** on them, don't expect others to hold back when ****ting on your favorite characters.

 

[Noipoi]

Also apparently Decidueye’s gonna be in Unite, so that’s really rad!

I don't. A good amount of my faves are on the community's hit list actually.

That's why I'm not interested in filtering my words when it comes to characters I don't fancy.

 

[ZephyrZ]

In a fanbase with as much elitism and tribalism as Smash's, that "I think" is a very important modifier.

Maybe I'm just oversensitive from being in the smash fanbase for too long. I'm not much of an Incineroar fan - heck I actually like Decidueye more - but I've played other characters that have gotten a ton of flack in the past and it just gets old, especially when people don't drop it long after the game is out.

Okay, then don't expect me to filter my my words when it comes to the one character on the roster I don't like lol

Incineroar actually has a lot of fans judging by all the uh, fanart he gets.

 

[Noipoi]

No that’s different.

You got the people who like it because of it’s funny lore and design.

People who like it because it’s good in competitive Pokémon.

And people who like it because [nope]

The first group, which I’m in, is the smallest

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Disney+ Day hurry it up

 

[Jondolio]

Just to put it out there, I have a very good reason to not like Incineroar that goes beyond "it should have been Decidueye" but I don't feel like going into it right now as I don't feel like turning this thread into Newcomer Speculation 2: Battle Tendency

 

[TheMightyP]

Look, I'm gonna say that any of the roster were wastes of slots. I'm not gonna advocate for character slander either. In fact, I don't think I ever participated in slandering popular Smash requests, nor have I ever **** on any fanbases of said requests. I would never do that, that's just mean.
