This, Smash Run didn't deserve to die like the rest of the extraneous modes cut from Ultimate. It could've been really cool with the Switch's greater power, online, and even Spirits. Really hope we see a "rogue-like" mode again, keeps things fresh for single-player.

Tis too bad being the main character in Three Houses they would pick him over Edelgard. Yay for genericity over uniqueness!

Late and a bit melodramatic but here it is
Note: "Hero" is the protagonist and "Villain" is the antagonist, both only when capitalized. It's easier than using protagonist/antagonist all the time since I don't want to use their actual names.
I talked a bit before on how both my protagonist and antagonist grew up with the same stories of heroes vs. villains but to elaborate on them, they were all old stories, the kind you'd read to a child before putting them to sleep. Stories about stories about black-and-white, knights and heroes, magic and fairy tales, and the status quo and the villains who threatened it.
The protagonist grew to idolize heroes and wanted to become one to help and protect others, and to defeat those who'd threaten the safety of others. To her who grew in a protected environment, this state of things was what she saw needed to protect.
Meanwhile, the antagonist interpreted those stories differently and saw villains as those who'd be willing to change the world and challenge what's perceived as the status quo. She saw villains as "evil" still, in fact, she fully believed in those stories: that true "heroes" would never be capable of actually changing the world and that no true "villain" could actually win in the end. To someone who grew up without a home and name, this was what she saw she needed to change.
Both held different powers, Hero had an affinity with the Wind while Villain had an affinity with the Earth, but they could both use it for the same purpose: to sense the world and people that were touching either the air or the ground, respectively. This gave them a greater understanding of those things, in a way, it gave them an understanding of how much people suffered, which was their main motivations: to create a world without suffering. But at the same time, it revealed to Villain she couldn't trust the one person she thought she could, which made her untrusting of others... that is, until she met Hero.
It may have been due to their shared sensibilities but to Villain, that person she met was the only one she could trust to become the hero that would stop her "evil plan", as she knew no one who would perform it could ever be seen as a hero and that she would need someone to "make things right" after the status quo had been changed.
But to Hero, all she saw was someone so depressed and broken in need of saving even though she self-identified as a villain.
In a way, the one adhering to the status quo was the one who wanted to abolish it, but she did not want to believe those stories also lied to her.
And the one wanting of becoming a hero would learn would learn she'd have to do things she thought were inherently evil and that there's no such thing as inherent "good-and-evil" determined by actions but rather by empathy and intentions.
So are the Miis, yet they don’t naturally share the same character slot like those Pokémon do. Not only that, but even with their own numbers, they’re still 3 different Pokémon who have a gimmick thatare literally given their own fighter number.
no longer have, sharing the same slot and character. You can consider unimportant as much as you want, but are 3 characters turned into 1, being controlled by the PTs and aren’t shown on the css.
, so are definitely more important in this scenario (ugh they have to do nothing)Very reasonable opinion you got there honestly (also I was gonna call you a Smash 4 elitist /s)Brawl, on its own terms, is a fine game. It has a decent roster, brings together tons of Nintendo franchises, and has a full-fledged story mode. Those who like the game for what it is are totally valid, and I don't mean to discredit their opinions.
That being said, I've seen a lot of people claiming that the reason they hold Brawl to a high regard is that it has a lot of childhood nostalgia for them and / or introduced them to gaming in general. While that's fine and opinions are opinions - it's the reason I hold Super Mario Bros. 3 to such a high regard - I can't exactly say the same about that for me. Firstly, Melee was my first Smash game, and secondly, I kind of already knew what I was getting into when I first played Brawl, since I looked up tons of information on it beforehand. With that in mind, I'm judging this game on its own terms.
My issues with the game start with its art direction. I'm not against to a dark and gritty Smash game and in fact would be interested in seeing that expanded upon in a future release, but the Wii doesn't really showcase it well. Some characters like
However, my other big complaint is the gameplay. Now before you write me off as one of those Melee competitive elitists, A) I don't even like Melee that much and B) my dislike for the fighting goes beyond not being on par with the previous game. It's just so. Damn. Slow. Fighting feels oddly unexciting because they're just not interesting to watch. Random tripping is also a huge problem I have with the game, as it completely destroys the flow of battle and leaves yourself open for attack, simply because you rolled the dice and got snake eyes. Perhaps others see something in this slow gameplay that I don't, but it's really just not fun for me at all.
While I do like The Subspace Emissary, I kinda feel it's a good story rather than a good game, if you catch my drift. I loved the cutscenes, the story, and the boss battles, as well as adding new characters to my roster, but I didn't really find myself enjoying many of the levels. The slow gameplay I complained about earlier also hampers my enjoyment here, as it feels especially sluggish in a platformer setting. I don't remember any of the levels vividly aside from the Subspace Bomb Factory and Subspace itself, as well as The Great Maze simply because of how much of a chore it was to complete. There was a perfect opportunity to include memorable locations from Nintendo franchises, but aside from the Halberd, all we get is generic skies, generic grasslands, generic deserts, and generic caves. The lack of memorable elements extends beyond the locations, but also into the enemies. While I like a number of the designs and I like the idea of Smash-original enemies being a new threat, it just wasn't executed well in this game simply because they took up too much of the spotlight. Much like locales, Nintendo-introduced enemies only extend to members of the Koopa Troop plus some of the bosses. Everything just looks dull, bland, and boring... much like the rest of the game.
There's even some minor complaints I have. It always feels like I'm doing the same dang thing whenever I play Classic Mode, and All-Star Mode is monotony incarnate. Aside from
Brawl isn't all downsides, and there are elements of it I do like. It had an excellent selection of newcomers for the time, including all-stars like
That being said, my complaints with Brawl still outweigh the forgiving elements, and now that we have Smash 4 and especially Ultimate, I really can't recommend this game to someone wanting to get into Smash, unless they're really curious to see what The Subspace Emissary is.
That's my two cents on Brawl anyway.
I mean, not necessarily. We got Robin long before Chrom.
Oh that lady.we have this IndieGamerChick person:

She seems to be a leaker with a following, and I think she leaked some Microsoft stuff with the Switch which seems to be turning out to be true. She has claimed that B-K will be on an N64 Classic and will be in Smash as DLC; those tweets were deleted, however, so here's a compilation that was shared in the Banjo thread:

I always assumed Robin was the protag in his/her game.
How do you know what Nintendo would do when the only DLC character we know they picked is Joker?
May you give us a reason why? I myself am not caught up to this and I'm not aware of why you say that.
why would you have your protagonist be pre-stalin stalin instead of cold war stalin
Robin is always billed second to Chrom, with Chrom being Awakening's headliner.
I don't really know if I'm allowed to say why or not.
I believe you since you seem like a smart guy reading up on the Square thread taught me that much but I would've liked a reasoning, that's not a big deal though. I'll take your word for it
Eh, I get where he's coming from.

Ditto. Wait, scratch that, my social skills are lower than zero, I go out of my way to not interact with people.
Not a sword user, so definitely a worthwhile addition to Smash.3-13 Archer for Smash
That describes me as well, though even still I couldn't do it without a little help from my boi
Aegislash would like to have a word with you.
It doesn’t matter what you discuss, it’s always Fire Emblem, even when it’s not.
....
Oi, I'm staying neutral on that.
Well, here's a TEDTalk I've been putting off watching for months that's apparently about how to engage in conversation.I don't know how to engage in conversations...
Conversation on the internet is easy because you can think about what you say before you say it.
