The site also has all of the TF2 characters on it, as well as Rise from Persona 4.

It's a gold mine.
I've used it a bit myself and liked it alot.

...
too bad the only ideas I've had aren't really that interesting.

Can't believe Simon Belmont, Shido, Kirby O'Neil, Insomniac Hammerhead, Vector the Crocodile, Dr. Wily, Hunk, and Ziggy the Rapping Zebrasaurus were all voiced by the same man...damn

VI deserves it the most methinks. It's a game I am very interested in playing at some point. I actually wouldn't be surprised if Square would do a remake for that game after they're through with VII.
How do you think they would Handel the rather large party size of that game (you can recruit like 12 characters).

How to camp with Ivysaur, a guide by Zachary Machary:

Step 1. Get a lead as Pokemon Trainer (preferably a stock lead).
Step 2. Switch to Ivy and start spamming Razor Leaf.
Step 3. Make sure you jump while you throw some of them to cover your opponents jump.
Step 4. Get impatient.
Step 5. Stop Razor Leaving and Rush 'em down with spaced Bairs.
Step 6. Switch to Zard.
Step 7. Just play the rest of the match as Zard.

Okay but my ****post about Ivysaur camping aside, I've been thinking a lot about optimal play vs self expression. Like when you get a lead in competitive it's generally considered better to start playing more defensively and reactive, since the pressure is on your opponent to start making the move if they don't want to lose to time out. But I'm a greedy, aggressive player who wants to endlessly extend pressure on my opponents, and once I find myself in a position where I have stage control I start to use it aggressively. I'm a grappler at heart and if I see my opponent sitting in the corner I can't help but want to take advantage of that position, even if it means risking my stock lead by getting close.

I think trying to play too optimally has limited me as a player. Like recently I noticed that I've pretty much stopped going for Flare Blitzes as Charizard altogether. I make fun of online Flare Blitzes willy-nilly, but there are times where I just know my opponent is going to roll or has let the guard down and I just go for something less rewarding. Today I actively tried to reintroduce Flare Blitzes back into my gameplan when it felt right and it just worked. Granted part of that is probably that I'm a wi-fi warrior and Flare Blitz is just harder to react to online, but they weren't mindless - they were when I knew in my heart that my opponent was going to use an option that loses to it. I'm a "Heart" player through and through but I keep forcing myself to play like a "Brain" because I want to look smart, and I'm scared of the stereotype of the mindless wi-fi superheavy to cheeses his way to victory with unsafe moves. But on the other hand I suppose a lot of people see that type of play as hype. And if it tilts my opponent then hey, that's to my advantage.

But sometimes it is better to just go against my instincts and use strategies I normally wouldn't. Like why should I ever try to approach a DK as Ivy when his massive hurtbox makes Razor Leaf spam so easy? I suppose stage control is something you don't want DK to have, but projectiles are a sort of stage control in and of themselves. Yet I still constantly find myself trying to guard centerstage against most DKs and rarely fall back outside of attempted baits. But I suppose even holding centerstage could be considered "camping" in a way.

I'm probably getting too deep into fighting game philosophy for most people on this thread. Heh. Perhaps overthinking things is part of my problem - if a strategy works for me I should just use it and let my playstyle develop naturally from there, rather then too closely follow the gospel of better players then me. If Smash is truly and expressive game like they say, I should be able to form my own path forward.

My favourite character from Fighter Pass 1 is still Hero.

Nothing will ever top my reaction of seeing the most unlikely of my most wanted coming out of nowhere in the reveal trailer.

The second CD Projekt announced a TV show based on Cyberpunk 2077 long before the many delays the game got was enough to get me completely out of the train.

The last time I saw a company starting to announce shows and movies for a game which wouldn't get released in years was Mighty Number 9, and It extremely showed how little they cared about making a great Game and how they cared too much about starting a big brand.

The moment they showed this along with the announcement of a second kickstarter, I had a feeling that this was going to be a recipe for disaster and Comcept/Keiji Inafune are taking a huge risk with this considering at that time, the final product had not been released.

Also, there were several goals that were overpromised and unachievable despite gaining a large amount from their kickstarter and I highly doubt that a 3DS & Vita versions will ever come out.

I started getting back into competitive Smash after a bit of a hiatus and now I'm like, the only person who frequently talks about Smash in this thread.

And I'm getting very nerdy about it.

Well just came back from my psychiatrist appointment and nothing really much came out of it.

Referring me onward to another person to specialise in counselling but with a focus on relationship building and physical health.

sighs back to Red Dead 2 I suppose.

So I've been testing and ate different kinds of food to see if I could see the flavour.
Thankfully It seems like I still feel them, so I really doubt I caught Covid.

It ain't a cold either, as while I'm feeling really frozen I ain't sneezing at all.

Whatever thing I have I hope I find out what It is because It is making me feel bad.

My only issue with Byleth is that their moveset, stage, and music are all rather lackluster to me.

I love the character as Three Houses very quickly became one of my favorite FE’s right after the Radiant/Tellius games.

But yeah their implementation in Smash was rather lackluster. But I feel the same about Min Min to a degree as well.

I like the fact that Byleth isn't an echo fighter or just a sword user.
