I don't have an opinion on Min Min. Gonna wait until all the characters for FP2 are revealed before I even consider buying/using the characters(and hence actually form a first hand opinion)

Arms content is nice though

:3 Aw, I don't know why, but this drawing is so cute! (xD And well, it's the first one I see that doesn't have Megaman brutally murdered by Ridley).
Tbf I haven’t seen that much art of that topic.

You know has it been confirmed if Mega Man was inspired by Astro Boy? Considering Astro’s impact I wouldn’t be surprised

I know it’s been posted twice already (first post came from👁), but I genuinely think WarnerMedia having their movies release on both HBO Max and in the slowly but also somewhat quickly dying movie theaters is still the big money play to make currently. Any of y’all hope Disney does the same with their movies? Cause the MCU can’t keep being delayed forever

In my opinion, Min Min was boring. Not because it was Min Min, but because it was ARMS. Believe it or not, I think ARMS is fun (or at least fun enough to be taken seriously), but did they really have to turn the game itself into a character? If Min Min in Smash was centered around what only she could do in ARMS and what was unique to her, then I wouldn't have any issue. But noooo, they needed to turn it into a gimmick. If the ARMS character was going to be a boring ass ************, they should've gone with Springman because at least Springman is "ARMS the character". (I see Min Min as more akin to Chun-Li and Springman to Ryu. Ribbon Girl is Ken.) Or if they were keen on making the "ARMS character" Min Min, at least make her less generic so that she and any future ARMS characters would stand out from each other a bit more.

Anyways, do you guys watch American cartoons subbed or dubbed?

I do have the feeling Megaman might have been inspired by Astro boy. I mean, Astro Boy came like many years prior to him, so, why not?

I would never watch a cartoon subbed...ever...anime sure...but not my American made programming

also I don’t think they'll add another Arms character since like...not much to work with based on my little knowledge. Now Splatoon on the other hand, that can work. Octolings either being fully unique characters who uses the other weapons Inklings don’t use, a semi clone, or a normal echo fighter. Those octo kids got tons of hope

Makes sense.

I have been playing around with some ideas for a live action Mega Man movie in my head for a while. I think while the human characters like Light and Wily would be live, all the robot characters would resemble their game counterparts aka Detective Pikachu/Sonic, even Mega Man and Roll. I’m thinking the in-universe explanation would be that Light wants make sure people don’t fear or mistrust his robots so he’s inspired by the friendlier look of Astro Boy to design his robots in that style.

I do like the sound of that, I feel that it would make for a good justification.

:ultbanjokazooie::ultbylethf::ultjoker::ultjoker::ultjoker::ultjoker::ultjoker: (best dlc everything) have been the only FP characters worth the payment overall
the stages and music made :ultminmin:ult_terry: worth it
:ultsteve: being unique and funny as **** makes him acceptable...despite the once wholesome turned horny art relating to Smash and his lost meat (especially you Zelda...it’s always you...)
:ulthero::ulthero2::ulthero4: I still don’t care for, but I give :ulthero3:a pass cause Gohan and kamikazee (other than that, that pass had nothing worth noting for me)
and of course...:ultpiranha::nessecho:Gang

I think the only DLC thing for smash I bought was Sans, and that was because it would of been against religion not to.
imagine not having Sans, Cuphead, or an unholy Mickey Mouse

Mega Man also took some elements from 1973's Neo Human Casshan, a notable example being his robot dog companion, Rush (Casshan had a robot dog companion by the name of Friender who can transform into different forms like a tank or jet, much like Rush).



Here's the synopsis for the original anime which bears some striking similarities to Mega Man:

"The brilliant Dr. Azuma created many robots to aid humankind. However, during a thunderstorm his lab was struck by lightning, corrupting the programming of one of his robots, BK-1, who renames himself Braiking Boss and declares that instead of serving mankind, mankind will now serve him! He brings other robots together into an overwhelming army bent on enslaving the human race.

Tetsuya, Dr. Azuma's son, asks his father to turn him into an indestructible android so that he will have the power to destroy the threat his father inadvertently created. Shortly thereafter, Braiking Boss captures Dr. Azuma and his wife. Tetsuya, now renamed Casshern, sets out to turn the tide of the war and rescue his parents, with the help of his girlfriend, Luna, and robot dog, Friender."

Am I the only one who thinks every Fighter's Pass character thus far has been well worth it? I think they're all great.
I think Banjo is kinda whatever but I've enjoyed my time with the rest of them.

Hell, Joker, Hero, and Byleth are all among my most played as well.

So another sucky day. I was prepared for the PlayStation Direct Queue and even jumped in within seconds of it going live. But I didn’t get a PS5. Why? Because I had to complete the Captcha over and over and over and over. I didn’t get ACTUALLY INTO the queue until like, 10 minutes later, at which point it said I had over an hour wait and then it was sold out in the next 10 minutes. Worst part is, had the site been working right I would have one.

I would prefer to wait till there’s more stock and I don’t have to deal with the Christmas craze but my parents said they would help me buy it for a Christmas present. So I gotta get one soon so I can afford it. It sucks dude.

You dare not like Banjo Kazooie? You...YOU...

are perfectly entitled to that opinion and it’s no skin off my back if you dislike something I happen to love. I’ll respect your opinion just as you’d respect mine.

If I had to pick an Echo I’d pick Raichu. Cuz I personally think it’d be funny if all three members of the Pikachu line were all playable characters.

Nah, **** all of y'all who like Banjo Kazoo. Get that nasty ass bear and bird out of my Smash Bruddas.

JK, Banjo is still cool even if I'm not familiar with the game.
