As kids, my brothers and I would always make up little stories and act them out in-game. Contextualizing Smash Bros matches was unreasonably fun for us. Needless to say I loved Event mode because it was like that, but officially in the game! I loved reading the little descriptions behind them...

I see people suggesting new Spirits all the time and it just baffles me like... there's nothing cool about PNGs that you can literally just google. To me, at least. It's not a novel idea either, Stickers from Brawl already served the same purpose and Spirit Battles are just Event Matches (with...

Oops, didn't realize it was a joke, sorry :upsidedown:

This mindset just boggles me. You think Mario has 9* characters just because it's a big franchise? It has 9 characters because it's a huge franchise where part of the appeal is the big and colorful cast of characters. Same with Pokémon. It is a gigantic franchise and its popularity comes from...

To this day I still don't understand why they didn't hold off the little characters videos until they covered said characters on the blog. Instead they just dropped them all on E3. It'd be infinitely more engaging if instead of just the short blurts we got as a description for each character...

It's a pretty well known fact by now that Sakurai considered chargeable aerials for Ultimate. I'm surprised this hasn't happened by now to be honest, it seems like a pretty natural evolution of the SSB formula.

Yeah that's totally valid, I'm not saying that casuals who don't care about advanced mechanics and options don't play the game, obviously they do (and at a larger rate than the rather niche competitive scene). I'm mostly talking about the people who exclusively want to talk characters, reveals...

Because other fighting games have way more combo options. Smash really doesn't. Even with the proposed hitstun increase, it wouldn't even be in the Melee ranges so most characters wouldn't get more than 5 or 6 hits really. And it only counts true combos, those are rare in all Smash games anyway...

Love this topic. It's one that gets brushed off quite a lot, giving credence to the stereotype that Smash fans don't play games, including their own. As someone who does take issue with a lot of the changes Ultimate made to the general gameplay, I have quite a few changes I'd like to make...

All the sped up ones sound kinda awkward tbh. And don't even get me started on how the Yoshi theme was butchered. The instrumentation has gotten old anyway. If people want a change of pace, changing the music and style of the victory screens would go a long way to give the new game a different...

The reason Brawl's art style aged so bad (aside from being a relic of a very specific trend/era in gaming) is because they didn't have the technology to do their vision justice. Dynamic lighting basically didn't exist in Brawl, all of its shading was uniform on all surfaces whether they were...

If y'all really want a cel shaded art style, I hope you're ready for a 25-30 character roster, because that's what it entails. The whole game would have to be rebuilt visually. Characters' animations, stages, items, particle effects. All of it would need to be remodeled or (even worse)...

...Speaking of the art style, I honestly wouldn't mind going back to Brawl levels of realism. I know it's not a popular opinion and I may be blinded by nostalgia, but something about seeing every character in the same art style was so cool and made Smash feel more like its own self-contained...

I think the inclusion not to include those characters was deliberate. Aside from DK and maybe Wario, none of these are really as iconic as the ones on the already existing artwork.

I mean, this makes total sense. Nobody knows the series for Olimar. People know the Pikmin because they're cute, marketable, the name of the series, and on the cover art of every game. Olimar isn't any of those. He's a little balding astronaut dude.
