i would change my avatar to him but like Vince Staples just released an album so pause

 

ROB is the only good troll character

 

I’ve been 100% satisfied with this roster since I got Mewtwo back, but they still botched the rollout for this game. They blew their load too early and they admitted as much as well. The fall from the Belmonts and King K. Rool to Kencineroar is a very steep one, and to then top off an already anti-climactic reveal with a DLC announcement for a character literally nobody asked for* all the while a number of fan favourites are either neglected or outright disconfirmed, surely the lack of enthusiasm is understandable.

Not to mention Nintendo enormously fucking up by revealing the ("unfinished") box art 2 months ago. This might've been the least exciting way to end a hype cycle imaginable.

*He looks amazing and hilarious though and I'm totally happy PP was added even though I was completely dumbfounded at first.

 

I just can’t imagine being upset at the characters in this game, they’ve done so damn much and have gone above and beyond to get so many in.

 

Yea but it's not MY character!!!!!!!

 

Considering I haven't played since Brawl, there are like 30 new characters that I haven't played as. I'm pretty content.

 

i always find my way back to captain falcon

 

I do agree that people would be less salty if they had built up to K. Rool and Ridley rather than revealing them so early, but they would have likely been leaked anyway.

As long as the DLC characters are unique and fun to play as (and not broken like Bayonetta/Cloud/Corrin at launch) I'm in favor of whoever they want to include.

 

YFW Sonic slowed down to try to save Pikachu. Wholesome rodent.

 

The most important takeaway from yesterday is the following:

Isabelle has Villager's forward- and back-air.

High tier pupper ftw.

 

New main confirmed

 

I do wonder what their rationale for character choice is like. Piranha Plant is so bizarre and I don’t think I’ver ever seen even Petey Pirahna high on anyone’s list.

 

I want to know who even decided to pick piranha plant as a fighter.

 

I’m pretty sure Sakurai went into the creative room and said “think of the most out of left field character that no one asked for in the Mario franchise”. Piranha Plant was born.

 

I can't find him. Where is he?

 

I don’t know I think gomba would have won that one.

 

Didn’t realize we had a Smash thread.

Pirhana Plant is awesome. I get that people are salty because they were expecting like Shadow the Hedgehog and Banjo, but it makes perfect sense as Sakurai’s obligatory weird pick, and its moveset looks hysterical. People will get over it like they got over Wii Fit Trainer.

 

I really hope a demo is still in the cards. November is an incredibly slow month for me work-wise, which is to say I do basically nothing at work over the course of this month, and I was looking ever so forward to getting paid to play Smash for 8 hours a day.

 

the esports arena was at the local collectors expo and they had Smash Wii U set up and I got my ass kicked both times in the group play that I was heated.

My friend got 1st and 3rd and I was like oh heck no.

 

Or, you know, they could be looking through Nintendo's rich history of characters to leverage unique forms for fighting styles and creative attacks vs another humanoid just because a small number of outspoken fans complain.

 

Nah, Nintendo are just trolls. Which is totally cool with me because that's better than putting Waluigi, who deserves no more recognition than an assist trophy, in as a playable character.

However, Geno or Mallow from Super Mario RPG, or ANY of the companions from the Paper Mario series would be nice.

 

I was watching a smash tournament in japan yesterday on twitch and sakurai was commentating and that was cool.

 

Dude, that is super cool.

 

don't know if you commented before I made the edit but I guess a Ultimate Smash tournament happened in Japan and Sakurai was just commentating the tournament and so a bunch of Smash pros just had a group stream and watched it. It was cool even if you couldn't understand what he was saying lol.
