It's funny when people get so pissed about dumb things.

It's one thing to not like Yoshi, Whatever, you don't like the character. It's fine.

But this guy was so, so mad I can't help but chuckle.

I'm not sure that being a "Top 10 Genre" thing is all that important when, if you think about it:

1) Resident Evil has been a longtime system seller across generations. When Resident Evil 4 was announced for Gamecube, that was a huuuuge deal.
2) It's a widespread multimedia franchise, releasing not only quality games, but (haven't seen them, so won't speak to quality) movies, as well as comics and books
3) Among Capcom games, the Resident Evil series was the most significant seller. This changed after Monster Hunter World released last year and took the world by storm. This is the same company that brought us Street Fighter, which has a pair of characters in Smash
4) Like all other 3rd party series currently in Smash, it's Japan-made.
5) In terms of "niche" markets, Smash is probably the only "fighting game" that doesn't target a niche market in itself. Tekken, Street Fighter, and Soul Caliber certainly do not reach a mass audience, mainly because of the intimidation factor of it.
6) In terms of other 3rd parties in Smash, each has effectively been a standout character in their respective field. Sonic was a longtime rival for Mario, and reached a broad demographic with the 2D gameplay. Mega Man and Castlevania a similar platformer demographic and are known for their tight, difficult but fair gameplay. Despite Snake getting in with the Kojima thing, Metal Gear is considered the pinnacle of not only "stealth" or "espionage action", but for cinematic gameplay. MGS4 especially was a first among many games that have taken this route.

Bayonetta, like Dante, has some tight controls and gameplay within her home series...plus I think Bayonetta is a separate thing on her own. Pac-Man is Pac-Man, and then when it comes to RPGs, there's no other realistic choice than Final Fantasy, and with Cloud being from the game that frankly set the bar that much higher for the series and the genre going forward for generations.

Resident Evil, similar to some of these games, set the bar for true "survival-horror" gameplay, and there's even puzzles mixed in (like the freaking police station having hidden keys for an office. Who sets up a Police Department like that?) It's not just the zombies that are meant to scare you, but the situation. You don't have bundles of ammo. Zombies don't die to one shot. You have to plan very, very carefully. You have to hope you brought the right items with you, and that you remember where you needed to go. Otherwise, a typical run down a hallway that you're familiar with may turn into a hallway of terrors, once a stronger than expected monster corners you, and you don't have any more First Aid spray, or you hear that dreaded *click* out of your pistol after missing just one too many shots out of panic.

Silent Hill certainly has its own merits, but Resident Evil is one that has the standout characters that have mixed in with crossovers before, and is the one that seems to still be alive (that Silent Hills cancellation still hurts). I'm not a bandwagoner of the idea, having played 4,5,6, RE2make, and having watched a playthrough of 7, I firmly believe the series has a spot in the "greatest of all time" with a handful of classic games from the series. The first half of the series is especially excellent, with the later games (5 and 6) lending more to action, 4 being that happy medium between the 2.

@staindgrey could add onto what I've said already, because I don't want this to be, like, my 3rd wall o'text of the day. But I hope I'm making sense.

So what you're trying to say is...

Mr. X in Smash would be a great addition.

I'm fully open to the idea of Reimu being in Smash. After all with music like this, I think Touhou is one of the series that do deserve a rep IMO. That and the series history in Video Games.

What is everyone's favorite Mario and Luigi game?

I like them all but if I absolutely had to choose I would choose Partners in Time since it was my very first Mario RPG so it brings back memories. out of all of them even outside of the M&L Series it would of course be SMRPG cause it has our boy Geno

IIRC, PiT was actually the first Mario game I played, and the second video game I ever played, after Smash Brawl.

I sucked at it when I first played it lmao. I didn't at all understand what to do.

But I played it a few years later and I understood how to play it and I loved it

That's my experience with it too. I played it when I was very young and couldn't really understand it after a certain point but after awhile I played it again and really enjoyed it.

Also I don’t care if I get flak for this, but in my opinion, Fawful should be the next Mario character to join the Smash series.

Enjoy Boo, Chain Chomp and Goomba as a tag team in the next Smash.

Imo it should Waluigi and then a Mario rpg rep.

They could even be in the same game. :rosalina: and :4bowserjr: were both introduced in Wii U/3DS.

Really ****ing sad I missed the Resident Evil talk but Scoliosis Jones Scoliosis Jones put it better than I probably ever could. I'm not even joking around when I say that IF we ever get another Capcom character it will be Leon. Like, Leon or Dante are the only two I can confidently say are super possible.

Yeah, people might bring up Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine but after Resident Evil 4 being the powerhouse that it's always been and now Resident Evil 2 destroying my YouTube feed, I don't think they'll pass on Leon. Leon is the next Capcom rep 100%. And I think it's just a matter of time.

What's wrong with the Yoshi's in that game?

Honestly...... I'll get pretty worked up if I mention all the problems. Yes, it is that bad...

1. It makes no mention of the events of Yoshi's Island even though the setup was perfect.
2. All the Yoshis are cowardly, even outside of the context of it being that they were facing a monster Yoshi
3. It takes EIGHT of them to push a Chomp Rock when literally EVERY other media depicts one pushing them just fine.
4. And the final insult is that they're idiots when they don't even recognize who their rescuer is and assume it's Baby Bowser (cause it's not like they actively opposed Bowser not too long ago in the timeline or anything. YI doesn't exist to the developers)

Agree. Let Leon get the spotlight in a Capcom crossover for once.
