This is going to sound negative, but am I the only one who thinks #AssistAlliance is pretty pointless? There are so many non-playable characters in Smash that it kinda loses its point. "Hey, this 30+ characters deserve to be playable!" doesn't really have a realistic solution.
As someone who really wants Isaac, Shadow, and Starfy in Smash, yeah it seems ultra pointless. Some of the campaigners are kinda rude too, and some really, REALLY, seem to hate Sakurai, and a lot are STILL mad about the Plant.

Yes it does.
All of them at the same time as a 30+ unit version of Ice Climber.

Very realistic. The most realistic.

I think the assist alliance is less to get everyone in but instead to open the flood gate, to show it can happen.

And to generally help build support for wave 2

On top of that, Assist Alliance only feels as if it cares about just the popular "deserving" requests over the smaller requests. And those smaller requests? "Okay that they're ann assist". Like, NOTHING makes your character more special than other assists, we're all in the same boat, so it's hypocritical to say that characters like Starfy should be an assist, while Isaac and Shadow shouldn't.

And plus, they really need to calm down about the Plant. It's been over 3 months.

But it did happen already, with Isabelle and Dark Samus. There's no flood gate.

As someone who already has his most wanted characters in, all I can say is that people should chill. It's really not that big of a deal, especially considering that there's a pretty good chance that most of the community will write off your main as nonviable. Which only makes sense when you get such a stupidly large roster of characters.

I hate wearing shorts; they never seem to fit, and I find longer pants much more comfortable anyway.
Jeans thoughout Summer and Spring, and tracksuit pants during late-Autumn to Winter.

y'all gotta remind me why people even assume there'll be a second fighter's pass when nintendo is historically so one-and-done with their DLC 'waves'

To be fair, not everyone gives a **** about competitive viability.

Because "there has to be, how else my fave will have more chance of getting in?"

The main issue I have with it is that they act as if the only Assists that matter are Isaac, Shadow, Waluigi, etc. I mean, I get that you want your MW to become playable in a supposed wave two, but when your whole "Assist Alliance" thing just revolves around a couple of popular characters, you may as well just support your characters by themselves lol

I certainly don’t, but that doesn’t make it any less annoying to hear about it all the time. Though my thought is more so that people hype up characters more than enjoy them by the time they’re out. I hear more complaining if anything and it can get tiring. It’s amazing to hear people complain that K. Rool is too broken and too weak at once for instance. LMAO

The hiccup with that is that would mean that first time users wouldn't post a Welcome Center thread when usually that would be the first thing to do...
I've never seen new users on the Welcome Center. They just bumble straight onto the General Discussion board and make threads that belong on other parts of the site and/or are completely redundant.

Solution: Ban all new users immediately.

This marked the beginning of the most destructive war known to SBoardia. The population was fractured into several factions based solely on the color of their name. As in other stories, the blue ones are the most important and **** everyone else.
