Okay. I'm going to do my best to remember every retainer and which royal they, er, retain, from memory. I will not look anything up and most likely get multiple wrong.

I will also do this to this music.

*ah-HEH-HEH-HEH-HEM*

Corrin:
Felicia, Gunter, Jakob, Flora

Xander:
Peri for some reason, uh... Laslow?

Leo:
Niles, Odin

Camilla:
Severa, Beruka

Elise:
Effie and uh... Arthur...?

Ryoma:
Saizo and... I wanna say Kagero

Takumi:
Oboro and someone who isn't Oboro

Hinoka:
Setsuna, Orochi (Orichi? w/e)

Sakura:
Hinata, Hana

Also why does Azura not get any retainers what the hell.

How correct was I.

Hinata is Takumi's other retainer. Sakura has Subaki. Orochi isn't Hinoka's retainer, Amazeballs is.

Edit: Azama. Not Amazeballs.

@TotsBS made a bet: if none of the characters he predicts get in Smash as DLC, he'll stop using his Scott persona.

But earlier, you said that if he stopped using the Scott persona, you'd quit the site.

If he had posted this or anything remotely close to it, like, 3 posts of his earlier, there'd be zero ****ing confusion

It all depends on the fandom.

Take a Disney build theme park game that I enjoy playing. Because the game constantly gets updated, information may be inaccurate since stuff changes constantly (I.e. a recent update changed it so certain characters take longer to level). It may be slow to update on the wikia so there’s that.

Some are worse though... I’d rather use SSBwiki over the wikia for example.

An IP that successful under a developer that multifaceted seems unlikely to languish, especially since had it still been under Nintendo, it probably would've been included as far back as Brawl.

Could be, was mostly talking about the franchise in general rather than smash representation :b. A lot of franchises from Nintendo started losing support (games if I'm not being clear) at different eras, was talking about BK in that regard. Doubt that talking about hypothetical situations will be helpful as there's still a lot of info we lack, but I agree that they could've appeared at smash at one point if still owned.

All of them were right, and it is weird that Azura has no retainers.

Takumi's other retainer is Hinata,

Except the resistance is a big part of it? You realize the civilians who oppose it only ever show up in Conquest so the player doesn't feel bad about it, right? And there's four of them. Meanwhile they are suplortive in Birthright and Scarlet has a whole legion of soldiers.

Okay.

Just because you don't see the citizens who aren't part of the resistance in Birthright doesn't mean they don't exist in that game; not to mention that, in Birthright, Scarlet could easily be lying about the numbers in her resistance. In fact, you only spent a little bit of time in Cheve in Birthright, basically just long enough to pick up Scarlet and Ryoma and leave.

Its not like that, for me at least they just feel so tacked on for me nowadays as I just feel that the pair during the 64 era were just there. Especially compared to other bigshots of the era like Crash, Lara, Spyro, Gordon Freeman, Cloud, Pokemon etc. It just feels like some kinda retroactive importance that I'm not really sure how it happened, if it was due to Jontron videos or its just this late tendency of appreciating more underappreciated series while depreciating appreciated series. It just doesn't feel right for some reason at least for me.

Hmm. Nowadays, I can see why it's overrated when we have games like A Hat in Time or Mario Odyssey. I think it's important because it helped lay a good foundation for games like those, but since it hasn't gotten a game since, I can see why it might look overly-praised. It is. It just hasn't updated itself with the times and Yooka-Laylee didn't really help with that either, so we have no modern reference of Banjo actually being a good series. Maybe that's what you're saying.

Everyone made bets earlier, so I guess i'll make one too.

If Undertale gets represented in any way, shape or form, i'll do a full reveal. Face, voice, my pinkie toe, you name it.

But if nothing from Undertale gets in at all, i'll-

Then I didn't get them all right. I missed Sakura's other retainer. I'm guessing it's Azama.

I'm surprised I didn't do worse, honestly. Go me.

And the same amount of time is spent there in Conquest? Like, I'm more willing to believe Birthright's writing than anything Conquest tells me after the crystal ball and Xander's whole ****ing speech in the last chapter

Yeah, Article 13 got passed, so save your memes for those in the EU.

It more so has to do with copyright than memes. The article itself never said anything on memes, that just sprung up in some click bait journalism. Not saying the article itself is good of course, it's just copyright bs that the US already has applied to the internet anyway.

Right but when you get into Smash you're pretty much safe from being forgotten by the fans, at least. Look at F-Zero. Unless you mean strictly by the company. However, I doubt a successful IP under a large company (before they were stymied) in a genre that usually flourishes on Nintendo systems, with the benefit that comes with Smash inclusion would've bit the dust. Other series that have fallen by the wayside usually don't have all that in their favour.

Who knows. You're right, it'll always be a hypothetical, but it seems unlikely.

I was going to dispute you on this, but apparently the original Banjo-Kazooie and Earthbound sold around the same number of copies total in their original life cycle. They were still in the millions, though.

Huh. I don't know what to bet if Jill gets in.

Or any RE character for that matter. Like... I don't know what you all would want from me.

I expect a picture with you wearing your favorite shirt backwards, giving a thumbs up while eating bacon.

Are you saying that the Mother Franchise is bad? Cause I greatly disagree with that. Mother 3 is a fantastic game and one of my favorite games ever.

There are moments where I love Xander, and moments where I feel like his writer gave up and drank his shame away at some bar while the interns wrote an entirely different character.

Like I want to consider him one of my favorite characters, but then the intern-written moments pop into my mind and I have to reconsider.
