The idea of Nintendo and Sakurai picking characters only based on the colours is just silly to me.

It even reminds me of Freezer’s plan in DB:Super Broly (which I won’t spoil just so the people who haven’t seen the movie get to react to it without the surprise ruined).
i'm not sure anyone's actually seriously humouring colour theory

at most it's just 'haha phoenix/artorias are blue guys' jokes

IMO, Color Theory could be right on the premise that Sakurai picked certain characters and they happened to line up with the colors people talk about.

Not that Sakurai picked characters to correlate with each one because that's plain silly. What i'm saying is that it could have been a coincidence and after the selection was made, Sakurai could have assigned them to a different color based on what they're associated with.

I only see the colors as a coincidence, so I agree. Hopefully, not many people outside of here are taking this seriously, or we'll have had a sequel to the Chair Theory.

so yo, if AC: New Horizons has new hair styles, what do you think they should add?
No hair.

So I'm not sure if I've shared with you guys at all.

But I'm really ****ing psyched for Panzer Dragoon making a comeback.

That is all.

I dream the day I can say the same but with "Panzer Dragoon" replaced with "Darkstalkers".

Darkstalkers aren't dead, right?......Right?

I'll have you know that you were like the first person I thought of when that popped up in the direct.

Same goes for the RE ports, of course.

I wish I were present to enjoy the conferences with everyone else. It was so much fun last year essentially live reacting with everyone else.

There's so much I'm excited about. Gears looks amazing. Panzer Dragoon is coming back. PSO2 is FINALLY coming west. The Avengers and UMA3 games look awesome. The Star Wars game looks great. Halo looks good again. And I'm surprised by just how much I liked the Hero. It's like a conglomeration of Link, Robin and Shulk.

Oh and Banjo was hype as ****. And I get RE5 Mercenaries on the go. I'm gonna abuse that.

Imagine showing me all of these during February of 2019:

Doh I fear that my depression and lack of faith about my life back then would have made me stay in denial.

Gonna be real. A lot of these points would support any big time IP currently not in Smash.

For example, being popular in East & West applies to a good number of different series. Stage potential and music do as well. Other series are also getting ports to Switch.

Banjo-Kazooie getting in by no means insinuates that western picks are more likely than at any previous point. I realize that I have downplayed western characters in the past, but I firmly believe Banjo-Kazooie is a product of circumstance, and should be seen as more an exception than the norm.

With Crash returning after forever, i’m not sure how that translates to getting into Smash.

Not to mention, who wouldn’t want their character in Smash?

Basically a lot of these could apply to pretty much any character, not Crash exclusively. I’m not even saying he shouldn’t be in Smash, but moreso that some of these points support several picks.
As much as I'd love Crash being in Smash, being my number two to Banjo & Kazooie, the story behind how Banjo & Kazooie happened and how it worked does make me skeptical about other Western companies coming in. Trinen mentioned how there was always conversations if Banjo should be a part of Smash, and he says he doesn't know if it was Phil Spencer's tweet, or a push from Sakurai. Added to that Sakurai saying he was worried about working with a Western composer overseas for the first time (but said he did an excellent job nevertheless), so it may lend credence to their being logistical issues with working with IP overseas.

Still, if there was another Western IP, I feel Crash is at the top of the list. I'd love it, and I feel like Crash would be a good character to "top" Banjo & Kazooie in Smash, while the latter are Nintendo icons, Crash is considered among the top gaming icons, being a former Playstation mascot. And while any character can be made a Smash character (e.g., plant), I think Crash's potential moveset fits Smash in the same way Banjo & Kazooie does, having sprung from the platforming genre.

So I probably missed the conversation, but did we ever touch on why DK, Diddy and K. Rool are just hanging out in DK's house like they're buddies?

I just realized how much I relate myself back on the past months with Hawkeye at the start of Endgame.

I bet on a Dragon Ball Super deal regarding that.

After the epic fight at the end of K.Rool’s trailer, they just decided to live together.

Yeah, the first thing that came to my mind while watching K.Rool at the start of Banjo’s trailer was Beerus with Goku and Vegeta.

This is Nintendo we're talking about

Aside the ones from their franchises skewered towards a slightly older audience like Ganondorf and Ridley, a lot of their antagonists are very whack with their morality

One moment Bowser's stealing peach for the billionth time, and the next he's go-karting with her and the rest of the Mario crew.

The ones from Kirby in particular, are pretty guilty of this. So much so, I'd label Dedede and Meta Knight moreseo as anti-heroes if anything

Idk, Nintendo doesn't really seem to be a fan of completely evil antagonists

Been playing online doubles with my brother lately and it’s so much fun, much better than online single matches!

You don’t have to worry about rank or elite smash, you got someone to talk to while you play, and you get to experience all these new cheesy doubles stats.

I’m so glad Smash bros can be played so many different ways.

You try finding a home in the current state of banana inflation.

Well, when the official reveal video title is that they're Rivals...

Other than that, King K. Rool can have standards, if the DKC show taught me anything.

Also, cause they fought each other so hard Diddy had to drag them into the treehouse.

I'll just let my Dragon Ball Super comparison be my head canon.
