Just because you don’t gel with the game doesn’t mean it isn’t good. Granted it definitely needs more content and some fine tuning but I think there’s a lot of strong potential. At the least I can appreciate how much care they put into the characters, and they’re plenty more on the way.

For the sake of argument though, how would you have handled this game’s roster/content?
Certainly not free to play. More stuff for the single player to do at launch. Heck it probably wouldn't even be out yet. If i were behind it it would probably not be out till the end middle of next year. The basis on duos and areal combat would be out in favor of a more standard Smash experience. As for characters... if we want a reasonably sized launch roster.....
  1. Bugs Bunny
  2. Daffy Duck
  3. Taz
  4. Superman
  5. Batman
  6. Wonder Woman
  7. Gandalf
  8. Harry Potter
  9. Max Rockatansky
  10. Betelgeuse
  11. Gizmo
  12. Wicked Witch of the West
  13. Finn the Human
  14. Jake the Dog
  15. Garnet
  16. Dexter
  17. Blossom/Bubbles/Buttercup (Pokemon Trainer Style)
  18. Samurai Jack
  19. Ben Tennyson
  20. Scooby-Doo
  21. Fred Flintstone
  22. The Iron Giant
  23. Rick Sanchez
  24. King Kong
  25. Godzilla
  26. Arya Stark

That's just the start. It would get season pass style expansions. Maybe even some guest characters (beyond Godzilla). But this is how I'd start it.

First off, some weird omissions with characters like T&J, Harley, Shaggy and Steven there. Second, certainly a more fuller roster but honestly kinda basic. Hell I’m surprised how small you made it considering your propensity for large scale rosters, I know you said it’s only the start but still, doesn’t feel like you’re talking advantage of the WB library as you said you wanted.

Also Smash is a lot more aerial combat focused than you give it credit for, why do you think :ultlittlemac: is often considered one of the worst fighters in the game?

Drake's IG story is just hentai so like don't open in front of anyone.

Not like y'all were gonna check but if you were well here's your warning.
Saying it only inspires more people to take a peek at his tastes

still a better inspiration than most I suppose

because he’s actually holding back all of his energy from years of retirement….well either that or everyone else is just better than him

Well today was a day, me and my brother were basically forced to babysit my cousins baby because she got a new job to support him and her first day was on such short notice that she had nobody to watch him and just handed him to us without giving us the chance to say no, keep in mind neither of us have experience with taking care of such a young kid so it was different than what were used too.

Saw the Knuckles short, remind me why ****** ask for Shadow to come back when Knuckles is peak fiction again? Seriously he's THAT guy.

Anyway, finally played a bit of Okami while watching football. Fought Oki for the first time and was getting whomped, in most fights I don't even get damaged like that, but I nearly got K.O'd twice by him. But I was also screwing around trying different methods of fighting to see what worked. But I'm pretty sure I can just use mist to slow down time and than smack him around. Did a couple of side quest things too.

This is objectively a worse game because I'd have to pay money for a Harry Potter license.

Big Shots are almost always accessible though. Flyfish have a very specific weak point, that can only be attacked in a very specific way, for a short period of time.
Counter point, Big Shots are tanky as all hell and easily accessible doesn't mean much when there's three of them camping at the edge when you're in the middle trying to deal with a gatrillion Steel Eels.

But I think what's most anniying is that nobody kills them. Because nobody think's they're a threat until it's crunch time and you need 10 eggs in 20 seconds

Shaggy is a meme character so I didn’t want him. I deliberately left Steven off in place of Garnet. And I deliberately limited DC to the big 3 to limit size to keep it realistic but still representative of the company and not bloated with too many characters from any one franchise at the beginning. Tom and Jerry… I just forgot about. Egg on my face on that one. They would have been there. Other characters like Neo, Lion-O, Captain Planet, Steve Uriel, and other characters from existing franchises and sub-companies (DC, CN, Hannah-Barbera) would be done as DLC. And I would expect the game to have a post launch life similar to SFV or T7.

And yeah, fair about the areal thing. It’s just like… in Multiversus if you’re not chasing opponents into the air and off the stage you aren’t playing properly and I don’t think it’s very fun.

I partly agree with you. But my take is that the franchise supports a lot more people then just it’s author and means a lot to a lot of people even after what happened. I can’t leave it out because of that. Even if I want too.

Yeah, let's disagree on this one. You're literally giving money to someone who uses her wealth to pass off transphobic legislation, this isn't a morally gray area.

Shaggy has merits to be in the game even if you don't care about the Ultra Instinct angle, tbf.

Also, Multiversus giving most series two fighters is one of the better ideas it has for me, rather than only giving it to Adventure Time. It gives individual universes more stuff before moving on to the next one so their presence in the game has more oomph.

Not every series NEEDS two fighters. Some need more. Some need only one. Stripe is cool though. I might put him as DLC.

Also I AM trans. And she already has her millions.

Shaggy was probably easier to build a moveset for, being bipedal and all for folks doing their first platform fighter. Expect to see more quadrupeds as the development team gets more experienced.
They also obviously wanted to follow the memes.

The memes! The memes!

Everything apparently has to be about the memes today!

Memes are overrated.

So, with Winnie the Pooh (the original one way before Disney) getting a horror slasher movie, I can imagine/picture a sequel involving Tigger in the future...

Or a post credits scene foreshadowing.
The scene shows Pooh dead with his body on the ground.

The camera pans out a bit as a shadow of another one looms above his corpse with a familiar orange stripy tail coming into view...

Cut to black.
