Unpopular Smash Opinions (BE CIVIL)

[Diddy Kong]

Tails should be the second Sonic fighter over Eggman or Shadow, or any other Sonic character.

Whilst I kinda prefer Knuckles, Tails is the best and most logical choice yeah

 

[UserKev]

In my opinion:

Tails would be the most logical.
Eggman would be the most niche filling.
Knuckles would be the most fun.
Shadow would be the perfect echo and fan service.

You aren't getting anymore Sonic reps other than these 4.

assuming you haven’t jinxed it and we end up with amy

You can hate on Toon Link, but Young Link has been in lesser games and is less deserving of returning post Ultimate than Toon Link.

 

[fogbadge]

the more links the better

 

[Laniv]

They should've given Ness' new up-air to Lucas, while Ness should've kept the headbutt.

 

[UserKev]

the more links the better

The more Links, the more Zelda is terribly treated.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

I wish Smash had more fighters who aren't characters - vehicles without visible drivers; simple non-descript sprites; the blocks from puzzle games; e.t.c.

even if it was say, wolf, deku, goron, zora, bunny, totem, fierce diety etc

 

[UserKev]

All of what you listed would be greater variety for Zelda and iconic enough to the I.P. Zelda is treated like a joke if your just throwing in more Links.

Melee should’ve had more dev time so that

• Wario and Diddy Kong could join the battle
• Scizor could get in instead of Pichu
• Ayumi Tachibana could get in instead of Dr. Mario

more dev time doesnt equal more characters

Honestly there are WAY more things that'd need to be fixed about Melee before an extra character should even be considered in a delay, let alone multiple. Fixing stuff like the invisible ceilings; Kirby's throws; G&W's shield; Marth's grab; the CPUs; Bowser as a whole; so on. I'd say Brawl could've done with an extra delay more, but all that game's flaws were part of the GDD so...

Ultimate definitely could've done with more non-character changes during DLC. The 6 frames of input lag staying for the last patch is inexcusable.

 

[Baysha]

Pichu is my favorite Pokemon Smash character and Scizor would just blend in with all the other Pokemon IMO.

Also, if a character "misses the boat" then they should still have a chance to get in later. I want somewhat recent has-beens.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Gardevoir would easily be the least interesting of its line in Smash. It just has a regular human body with a weird dress-like membrane(?), so there isn't much to distinguish it from a Zelda or Peach in terms of non-special moves. Kirilia; Gallade; and Ralts on the other hand could all some crazy moves with their twirling tutu-like shape; razor hands; and psychic-powered clumsiness respectively.

 

[fogbadge]

there should be a stage based on nintendo's original 1889 building

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

I think having connections to Nintendo is the worst possible reason for a 3rd party to get in. I want my Microsoft rep to represent what Microsoft has brought to gaming and represents as a brand, not just the only Microsoft IPs you can sell to a Nintendo console's ownerbase.

Gardevoir as a pick come off as some essential weird niche to me. Never exactly understood the pick. The Pokemon in general is more bland and forgettable. You'd even do better with Jinx as a Smash pick.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Byleth should get a moveset overhaul and be based fully around the Sword of the Creator, magic and brawling.

It then wouldn't hurt to have Dimitri as a newcomer using many of the Areadbhar moves Byleth had.

IMO all of the SSBU DLC characters should be reworked except Byleth and Plant.

The only good Smash trailer ever was the Smash 64 Happy Together ad, and I'm not even saying that ironically - it didn't oversell itself or its characters; it knew how stupid the game is; and relished in how innacurate it is to the source material.

That was the ad that introduced me to one of my favorite songs. I honestly agree- the game is quite silly and fun!

 

[Perkilator]

Melee's Final Destination should've been in the August 2020 update instead of Small Battlefield.

well by definition that is an unpopular opinion

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

"Too many anime swordfighters" is a 100% valid complaint - this is an all-encompasing crossover that aims to appeal to as many people as possible regardless of gaming tastes or age, they should absolutely try to diversify their fighter offerings as much as possible and try to consider how there may not be much overlap between say - JRPG fans and Scrimblo Bimblo fans - especially considering the scummy grab-bag DLC practices they went with...

that being said, "too many grassy plains stages" is a much more pressing issue.

Ngl, EB is more deserving of one more rep than Kirby getting a new rep. Porky is the pinnacle between EB AND M3. And deserves to be on the roster. Lucas should have been in the same boat as Ayumi Tachibana. And honestly, even if Ness and Lucas were suddenly dropped for Porky, it'd still be well executed as Mother having one rep that is a villain would be unique, creative and something we haven't seen before. On top of it, Ness isn't even enjoyable to play as anymore. And just feel like a plain dated character.

I really dislike the idea of Porky in Smash, the character holds way too much thematic baggage for a silly platform fighter. This goes for virtually every Mother villain except maybe Fasaad. I'd much rather a non-PSI using protagonist like Lloyd or Duster come next.

a move set based on the wario land 2, 3 & 4 transformations would have been way better than bike and farting

That's not an unpopular opinion. at all. unfortunately.

really? ive seen people say wario land based but never specifically the transformations

Amy should be in before Shadow

 

[Pupp135]

Amy should be in before Shadow

She’s actually most most wanted Sonic character, and I like playing her in a Crusade mod.

Birdo doesn't get the recognition she deserves. When discussing Mario newcomers, Birdo by far is iconic and has impressive staying power. I think between Waluigi and Toad, Birdo would be the most genuine pick that we love about Smash. She'd even get away distinguishing her self from Yoshi, Birdo being an older character anyway.

I'd personally prefer Mouser, but I'd 100% be cool with Birdo - being able to stand on your own projectile sounds like a really fun mechanic.

Character teasers need to make a comeback. Like in Smash 64, foreshadows of Jigglypuff, Captain Falcon, Ness and Luigi are revealed at the end of its intro. I miss anticipation and how well they amped you up. They'd also work great as anti leaks that'd make otherwise leaks pointless.

 

[Butters Stotch]

Alright, this'll be my last post until a possible return.

I love Smash 3DS's commercials and I wish there were more of them. They're just so cheesy that I can't bring myself to dislike them.
