I was thinking lately what happened to the Smash fanbase, it became much much worse compared to the fanbase during the Melee and Brawl days. Sure there were some obnoxious Group of people, but it was nowhere near as bad as today.
But then I figured it out, Zoomers are the ones who has ruined Smash.
You might be confused, but the zoomers where either babies and kids when Melee and Brawl came out, they had no clue about stuff like Smashboards or who Sakurai was. Hell, the only ones they probably knew where the Mario and Pokemon characters.
It wasn't until Ultimate when the Zoomers became adults, this is where shit got bad. You have bandwaggoning Genofags who has never played Mario RPG, Ashleyfags who shits on Castlevania and went their shitty character in. Waluigifags harassing Sakurai and making WAH memes all the time and so on. Most of these people use Twitter and Discord, which are also zoomer shit.
I fucking hate how Zoomers have ruined one of the best franchises of all time, how the fuck can we get rid of these bastards?
meleefags are mostly boomers and they're just as bad as rosterfags, if not worse. the things that actually ruined smash discussion were the cancers of the ballot, "leak culture," and slow-drip dlc reveals that smash 4 introduced. these factors all made it so that the fucking roster dominates 99.9% of smash discussion for multiple YEARS at a time. it encouraged people to beg for literal-who characters, try to speak it into existence with fake "leaks," and then start screeching that sakurai's a "hack" when he doesn't cater to their every whim.
Angel Reyes
Ultimate retard, Smash 4 is old news now
Adam Foster
Krystalfags are still cancer autists.
Hunter Bell
>discord and Twitter bad meme Right guyz? We're such much better with our Yea Forums and teamspeak.
Whats that? Someone mentioned IRC? Ew, that person must be old and gross. No one uses IRC anymore.
Samuel Parker
everything you complain about with ultimate discussion really started with smash 4, though. smash 4's ballot is the reason why rosterfagging is as bad as it is today. smash 4 introduced dlc fighters, which extended the rosterfagging for longer than it used to go on. smash 4's esrb leak, gematsu "leak," and rayman "leak" spawned the autism of the grinch shit and the 2chan/reddit shit.
Alexander Gutierrez
This. Social media exacerbated it. Now every decision that doesn't line up with MUH BALLOT is met with scorn, and people bandwagon bland characters like Bandanna Waddle Dee that no one with a brain would want in Smash solely because they want to be hip with the cool kids.
Same goes for fake leaks that get spread around to normalfag sites like Reddit or Youtube that get people obsessing about characters that nobody cared about or had on their radar until some random shitposter name dropped them.
Camden Harris
>Now every decision that doesn't line up with MUH BALLOT is met with scorn which is retarded, since nintendo has never released the actual results of the ballot. rosterfags literally just assume that all their favorite characters got the most votes and sakurai "hates the fans" by not putting them in.
Gabriel Bailey
>"I was eating my frosted flakes this morning before school when some milk spilled onto my bib. My day became much worse compared to yesterday , sure there were some obnoxious people who bullied me at school, but it was nowhere near as bad as today.

Jose Anderson
>rosterfags literally just assume that all their favorite characters got the most votes and sakurai "hates the fans" by not putting them in.
Which is doubly retarded, because most Smashfags are mouthbreathers and don't know/understand what they actually want. Thank God Smash has a based gatekeeper like Sakurai who doesn't pander to delusional fanboys.
Ryan Ramirez
people who complain about boomers/zoomers/whatever are worse than said groups
Eli Long
Smash fans have always been the tiniest of children and the eldest of autists
Zoomers didn't ruin Smash. It's always been this bad
Grayson Garcia
the funniest part is that sakurai has indicated that the ballot was dominated by former smash characters who had been cut from brawl or 4. that just proves that hardcore rosterfags are a tiny minority and most fans are satisfied with the characters that sakurai picks.
Logan Bell

Sebastian King

People just hate losing characters. Nobody wouldve thought "where the hell is Pichu?????" If he was never in. Same with other shitt picks like Palutena.
Angel Gomez
Smash Bros. has always been full of onions. I play the game but you can't tell me the nerds that take the game seriously aren't virgins.
Adam Perry
This. Anyone who thinks Sakurai should step down for reasons other than his own health is delusional. I’d almost argue it proves the opposite, that too much of the smash fan base is too autistic to let go of characters like Pichu and Young Link, requesting them for the ballot instead of for new characters, and complaining when their characters don’t play exactly the same btw each game.
I’m glad these characters all get one last hurrah, but I look forward to getting a clean roster next time
Austin Brooks
you can't ruin garbage
Oliver Ortiz
Ecelebs and hype culture killed Smash, not general zoomers
Isaac Perry
>This. Anyone who thinks Sakurai should step down for reasons other than his own health is delusional.
He should step down because the series has gotten pretty static.
Ryder Morris
Why do Americans like stupid generation labels so much? You can be both dumb or wise whatever generation you belong to. People are more different because of the individuality, not of the generation.
And I would say an 18 old "zoomer" kid and his 38 year old gen-Xer parents don't see as much as generation gap in each other as their previous generations did.
Asher Hughes
Id agree that he does hold on too much to the characters as they are, for legacy purposes, but I think that he’ll be a producer the next entry and they’ll take a reasonable departure or reset of what the series offers

It’s one reason the Ballot was dangerous. I’m glad they’ll never release the results
Wyatt Gray
is this the banjocuck thread? 90% of banjo and kazooue fanboys are emulatorfags that got into banjo kazooie due to jontron

Its this way because bias picks like Palutena and Dark Pit get in scot free yet we have to get for 10 years to get characters people actually want like K Rool and Ridley.

Camden Mitchell
Palutena was picked because her moveset utilized the Custom moves system from 4 well. Sakurai said he was unaware how popular K Rool was until the Ballot. He had acknowledged years ago that they attempted Ridley but didn’t find a way to implement him that worked right; it was only after endless insistence that he gave it another go and resigned about the size issue
Also, not every addition has to be a fan request.
Jayden Sullivan
>it became much much worse compared to the fanbase during the Melee and Brawl days Just no, even more so when you say Melee
Evan Foster
neither boomers nor zoomers ruined smash it's faggots from both groups going at each other's throats that ruined it
people like shit that you don't like, get the fuck over it and stop behaving like manchildren. people can want steve without being shitposting zoomers, people can want banjo/geno/takamaru/isaac/other boomer shit even if they're zoomers, people can want erdrick without being bandwagoning virgins, and people can just as equally dislike those characters
fucking deal with it, we're getting what we're getting and that's that, love instead of hate you actual cunts. smash is a great and exciting series and i hate how the fan base has become a massive cesspool.

Her custom moves is all stuff done by Pit and by this logic any game with an upgrade/custimization system can do the exact same thing.
Look at all the stuff uprising got in smash 4, is anyone really crazy if they think it has to do with it having the same director rather than a huge series of coincidences?
Leo Barnes
Nice reddit meme.
Luis King
Basically this. Instead of bitching about Incineroar, maybe give him a shot because his moveset concept is really fun. People can’t get over the fact that it’s this “character”, but would have no issue if it were the Rhythm Heaven wrestler doing the exact same shit

It's because the actual smash fanbase is the people that make content and organise events, but because they spend so much time on Yea Forums they think the fanbase does nothing but discuss the roster and namefag all day lurk for another year before posting
Jack Fisher
I don't get why people shit on Palutena so much. She's the second most important character in her franchise, a legacy IP that been around since the NES, which had a high profile reboot where she played a pretty major and memorable role right before it was time to start picking characters for Smash 4. She also has a pretty interesting and unique moveset and playstyle that isn't really reflected in any other existing Smash character, even if the custom movesets thing was lost in the translation when it came time for ultimate.
Palutena is a legacy character who was extremely relevant at the time and brought some interesting new stuff the the table. Her inclusion makes sense, and ended up being justified in the long run. Anti-Palutenafags come across as just bitter that she got in over their pick of choice, and also apparently have never played a KI game in their lives if they think she should hit the chopping block over characters like Lucina, Chrom, Corrin, etc. etc.
Robert Ortiz
And that's the other thing. Nothing worse than people who deliberately lewd Isabelle despite saying "Ravioli Ravioli Don't Lewd the Puppy Loli." This is Dragon Maid all over again but with bigger autists.
David Edwards

Carson Harris
>One completely new character >one extremely simple clone >two new stages (one of which is good) I don’t really see a problem, and I’ve never played KI:U or the characters in Smash. It was a game that came out between Brawl and 4 and rebooted an old franchise, and Sakurai wouldn’t have to mediate with its creators for the smash content’s presentation.
You’re basically just what this guy is point out
Blake Anderson
>"Ravioli Ravioli Don't Lewd the Puppy Loli." I have never fucking heard this before, did you come up with that becuase you might be autistic if you did.
Xavier Allen
Isn't Isabelle a cake that's one bad day away from a midlife crisis?
William Campbell
It was always autistic, but it never was a mainstream concept like it is now. Just look at your ebin Facebook meme group that's full of ironic Smash memes, ask yourself if it's helping the fanbase's progression.
Lucas Baker
She is 100% not a loli, I don't know what that guy is smoking
Jaxon Murphy
The only people who shit on KI reps are people who haven't played the games The devs are ignorant and ultimate is missing shit that any other fighting game would have in beta stage. Nintendo's a soulless AAA company who put on a face as if they care of the fans but really just want to milk as much money as possible. I bought a switch just for smash and this is my experience. As if you wanted a discussion by replying to me with nothing of substance.
Camden King

Nolan Evans
palutena is a pretty important character in her series, especially considering that the whole franchise is named after her in japan. as for dark pit, why do rosterfags seethe over him but then get angry that shadow - the furfag equivalent of dark pit - isn't in as a sonic echo? both of them got in because sakurai had recently made a new kid icarus game himself. anyone who's paid attention to kirby's representation in smash knows that he's going to promote his own games as much as he can. that's just the way it is.
I feel like your internet connectivity and nintendo ruined smash. I liked the memes fuck you.
Dominic Adams
Tell me what?
Colton Long
>palutena is a pretty important character in her series, especially considering that the whole franchise is named after her in japan.
She's a supporting character in a game that wouldn't have ever gotten more than a single character or stage if Sakurai didn't direct it. The fact that she appears for 5 seconds at the end of a nes and gb game doesn't change that.
>as for dark pit, why do rosterfags seethe over him but then get angry that shadow - the furfag equivalent of dark pit - isn't in as a sonic echo?
"what's the difference between a popular character from a popular series than this OC donut steel from a game that barely anyone has played?????"
>both of them got in because sakurai had recently made a new kid icarus game himself. anyone who's paid attention to kirby's representation in smash knows that he's going to promote his own games as much as he can. that's just the way it is.

The only biased on here is you.
Also, many of those same points about FE could be thrown at Pokemon too. The only difference is people openly accept that Pokemon gets special treatment.
Robert Garcia
>why are you browsing sites where furry fetish art is posted if you're not a furfag yourself? Being a furfag is not a requirement to browse Yea Forums. In fact, furry art is against the rules, it's only allowed on Yea Forums.
Jason Thompson
Having a function that can be done by human characters is a waste from a series with animal/beast like creatures. Inceniroar wasn't even close to being the most popular pokemon of it's gen
Aaron Carter
You're just proving him right. The only people who like Shitcat are furry barafag subhumans.
Ryan Lopez
Honestly this. I've been saying it since the ballot existed. All it did was make dumb rosterfags think their meme, tertiary and dead characters will get in because they voted. I honestly hope Nintendo and Sakurai just do whatever they want. Better than listening to ungrateful screeching autists that will literally never be pleased.

Adam Ward
>it's only allowed on Yea Forums. That's only the case for loli/shota, furshit on the other hand is also allowed on /trash/
Oliver Murphy
honestly, kid icarus' representation is a lot LESS biased than how he treats kirby. kid icarus has the two obvious recurring characters and an easy-to-make echo that didn't take anyone's "slot." in contrast, kirby has a lot more material to go on and there's plenty of characters/games sakurai didn't make that are popular with the fans, but he ignores all of it to stroke his own ego. that and zelda's shambolic representation are my only complaints with how he handles smash.
Easton Sanchez

>>Fire Emblem also got two new stages in Wii U. >>Fire Emblem also go got the same amount of newcomers in the WII U AND two DLC fighters.
Sakurai is also biased towards FE, and I said before DLC.
>>Palutena's Guidance makes as much sense as the Star Fox and MGS bonus dialog on their respecitve stages, if you've actually played KIU
This could be done for many series, it only got done for Uprising because it's Sakurai's game.
>>Many characters have gotten overhauls over the years, and even Ganon finally got on even if it took until Ultimate to happen
The fact that so many liberties were taken with characters but the second Sakurai directs a game that character MUST be accurate to the source material is telling. Also >counting a change from an older character that didn't get addressed until the next game.
>>The Smash Run enemies are only there because it was an easy asset flip, it has nothing to do with the KI brand getting special treatment.
If this was the ONLY special treatment Uprising got(notice that I'm saying Uprising and not kid icarus in general) then I'd believe it but there's way too many coincidences to shrug off.
>Also, many of those same points about FE could be thrown at Pokemon too.
FE has biased treatment as well. Pokemon deserves all the stuff it gets because it actually earned it.
Think about how in Smash 4 Zelda, Donkey Kong and Metroid combined got less stuff overall than Uprising.
Christopher Cooper
i browse Yea Forums every day and pretty much never see furfag fetish art of incineroar anywhere. with that in mind, i can only assume that you're going to furfag fetish fanart sites and getting mad every time you see incineroar. you wouldn't be the only one. there are plenty of owlfags on /vp/ who cite furry porn statistics that only furfags would know to try to prove that incinechads are "the real furries."

I for one am going to laugh in the next Direct when Erdrick ISN'T revealed to be the next DLC fighter for Ultimate after Joker.
Brandon Allen
There is nothing appealing about Incineroar if you aren't a furry barafag.
Connor Jenkins
Pretty wierd how the King of Fighters was the same as Smash setting wise with all the franchises from a company getting together to fight.
>and an easy-to-make echo that didn't take anyone's "slot."
This is literally the only argument you guys have to defend Dark Pit. If echoes were thought of before Dark Pit was a thing he wouldn't even be in the top 50 requested characters to be an echo. There are tons of better choices but nope, let's add even more content from Uprising because apparently there wasn't enough in 4! Protagonist of the third pikmin game that sold around as well as Uprising? Fuck that. My OC donut steel that I came up with in 3 seconds, better include him!
Sebastian Cook
>i-it's conveniently deleted immediately, but it happens all the time, i swear! sure thing. cope with the fact that incineroar is popular with the general public, not just furries, while fursonas like shadow and banjo are not.

Andrew Powell
Don't even put Zelda in there. Zelda is second to Mario in terms of amount of content in Smash period. Zelda got 3 new stages in Smash 4. DK and Metroid got 1 each. In Ultimate, Zelda is one of 2 existing series that got a new stage. Not even fucking Pokemon got a new stage. Also Zelda has every past stage in the game. The only others are smaller series and Kirby.
Adrian Carter
Banjo is liked because people played his game as kids. Incineroar is liked because gay furries want to take his knot

Hunter Diaz

Zelda having one (1) more new stage than Uprising still means it had less content added than it.

Samuel Morgan
Zelda would get twenty newcomers the second Sakurai got to direct a new one.
Bentley Reyes
People look at the raw number of fighters, stages, or items that Kirby and Zelda get and think there's no problem. But anyone actually in those fanbases (or even anyone who just takes the short time to do basic research) can see that there's real problems.
As you pointed out, it's disgustingly biased how Kirby content has almost wholesale ignored games made after Super Star (you know there's a problem when even content from fucking Kirby 64 would be a breath of fresh air at this point). And Zelda is just absurdly represented for what a tentpole franchise it is for Nintendo. How long have people been SCREAMING for any sort of non-Triforce fighter and/or a fighter that isn't a clone? How long have people BEGGED for Ganon/Dorf to finally get anything more from the actual Zelda games than his Sparta Kick forward tilt from TP and stop clinging onto a futuristic bounty hunter's moveset as a basis for his own?
Any of you shitlickers who regurgitate that whole arbitrary MUH RECURRING CHARACTERS ONLY fan rule can go right the fuck ahead and end yourselves. You all constantly defend One-Off Emblem's lineup in comparison since it's "by necessity of the series' nature", mistakingly implying that Zelda is therefore just like Mario and only ever occupied heavily by the same cast of characters when this is rarely the case beyond a handful of recurring entities and many of the enemies (this mentality is at least good for exposing detractors as clueless posers who don't play much or any Zelda).

Why would you use kek instead of lol? Think about it. It doesn't mean anything, its just the modification of the actual acronym lol. You don't even know why you use it. Somewhere, sometime you saw a few people post it and hopped right on board. Too mainstream for lol right? Thats so old, its meaning makes sense but you don’t feel comfortable expressing your approval of things on the internet with the common old "lol" thats been around for so long. You'll man up and use the purposely misspelled version with no discernible humor or purpose besides making you look like a complete idiot while you maintain the false concept that other people find it amusing or appropriate and using purposely misspelled words shows the world that you’re not afraid of anything and are part of some grand inside joke that no one finds funny. Theres a lot going through your head, but you realize that I’m right. You will try though, to get the best of this exchange. What are you going to go for? Newfag? Summer? Oh damn, there are so many options to choose from. An implication that I'm underage perhaps? That’s always fresh. Maybe you'll just shut down. I think you should go with something about “butthurt” or being mad or even comment on the length of the unproportionally long comment that so swiftly brought to your attention that you are a faggot that tries oh so hard to fit in. Careful though, is this even “OC”? Tsk tsk. Hard to say, don’t want to get embarrassed user. I'm sure you could find some grammar or spelling errors as a last resort. I cant wait, Its always fun playing insult roulette. Fucking idiot!

Samuel Wright
Literally just reverse search the image and look at the artists gallery. Takes like 2 minutes
Landon Moore
I don’t have any of the images saved, but on “who do you want” polls, missing veterans always rank unreasonably high. It’s one of the reasons Sakurai thought “everybody’s here” would be a good idea. So yes, there are a bit insignificant number of people whose ballot vote went to Young Link, Wolf, etc
Julian Evans
Richter? Really? The only reason Richter is in is because Simon got some of his moves, so they ended up including both so they'd be clones. Only devoted Castlevania fans know him, not the majority of Smashfans.
>He's more bland than literally any other character. He's been given personality through pause descriptions, and has shown personality in Battle Royale, Rainbow Curse, Revenge of the King, and The Apple Juice Song. What more do you want? Are you expecting deep, complex traits in Kirby?
Christopher Wilson
Well you're not doing your argument any favors. Youd be hard-pressed to find an image of Incineroar that ISN'T drawn by a furry barafag, because again, those subhumans are the only ones who like him.

Nicholas Hill
Nigga u dumb.
David Rivera
Of all the things to sperg out about, why "kek"?
Parker Lee
This is what I meant by delusional fanboys.
If "given personality through pause descriptions" is the best thing your character has going for it, even if YOU like them, they probably arn't a worthwhile addition to Smash.
Jose Russell
>i will say it's pretty weird how knowledgeable incineroar's haters all are about the bara furry fanbase. You can reverse search the image of any Incineroar fanart, it always leads to furry artists pages. It's not some crazy conspiracy like you're implying. You'll never find art of Incineroar that wasn't drawn by a furry barafag.
Levi Thomas
dumb zoomer. its so other 'channers know I'm a 'channer too
Mason Martin
Everything is gay fetish shit when that's what you search for, faggot. See
Owen Garcia
All the shit you’re complaining about was done because it was easy. There’s a lot of shit to put in the game, and it’s going to be relatively easy to call in the readily-available and recently used actors from a series he’s most familiar with, then to take it upon himself to completely re-do Snakes codecs, get those old actors back, negotiate prices, all while confirming content and direction with Konami every step of the way.
It’s painfully obvious you just don’t understand how this works
>channer Woah! You're from the scary NSFW part of 4channel! We use Channelers nowadays.
Brody Cook

This is a good one
John Martin
What I find so funny about this fight about incineroar is that this is the same argument they use when the grinch leak happen. The funniest part is that they don't care he got in, they claim they do, but in reality, they only care that people got bfto. They believe that anyone who don't like Incineroar is a grinchfag. That funny because I dislike him due to him being Masuda special boy. Now they are trying to say he got in because he was popular when that is a lie.
Connor Garcia
Sure thing, faggot. I sure hope I don't get banned for posting this gay furry fetish art I found at the top of the Google search result.
>complaining about Alph not being an echo Christ user, you really do represent the shitty fan base that earlier user called out. I’ll say it again, with how Olimar is represented in Smash, there’s little benefit to splitting Alph away into an echo, which is usually done to give the character the proper personality with different animations and voice clips
Jacob Collins

Ryan Gutierrez
Man it sure is a funny coincidence how all of the easy additions just so happen to be from uprising!
Isaiah Wilson
Your suggestion completely misses the point of my post, which is that they make echoes when the distinct animations portray the character properly.
Adrian Wright
literally any pokemon that isn't MUH GENWUN or MUH BUG TYPE SHITMON would get dismissed as "furbait" at this point. meanwhile, grinchfags shit up Yea Forums for two weeks because they thought fursuits like shadow and banjo were getting into smash.
>make new taunt and victory animations for Alph, like every other echo
wow that was hard
Sebastian Wright
Imagine actually caring about this just play the fucking game
Connor Evans
It's ironic how the game has a hundred characters or whatever but only quiet literally ten or so are regularly ran into online. It's understandable as wtf would you take time to learn a high skill ceiling character when you can just turn off your brain with Simon
Benjamin Ramirez

Caleb Diaz
Incineroar is designed specifically to appeal to barafags

Why would you want a character that the game TELLS you has personality instead of a character that, you know, actually HAS personality?

Yeah adding Palutena and her extra moves sure is easier than a normal character!

If you want anything Kumazaki, Magolor, Susie and Taranza are infinitely more interesting characters.
Josiah Roberts

Camden Flores
I'm talking about Gen 7, /vp/ will tell you the whole story.
Joseph Murphy
Youre right, its all just a huge coincidence how Sakurais game got treated like it was the biggest most popular one of all time in another game he directed!
William Jackson
Not him but it's the same reason why Nomura adds only the FF characters he's involved with to Kingdom Hearts. He doesn't have to waste time discussing, negotiating, with other people and parties. Sakurai reusing enemies from Uprising for Smash Run, is less taxing then having to ask every company, what he's allowed to work with, and how must it be portrayed, and etc. You can call it lazy instead if you want.
Ethan Morris
Smash is literally a party game for manchildren? Why the fuck are you complaining it’s made for those kids to enjoy.
It’s competitive scene consists of removing all of the games mechanics to turn it into a 1v1 where you hop around the map spamming two buttons. Why do smashers think smash is something so big?
Grayson Hernandez

Ethan Sanders
That's fine. But he's still not an interesting character let alone interesting Kirby character.
Ryder Lee
Dee is based man
Gavin Taylor
seething lol
Christian Kelly
I mean it would depend on what you mean by interesting. Do you mean deep and complex personality? No character in Kirby has that besides Zan Partizanne and Taranza. Even then, Taranza's personality and role is just grieving over Sectonia and nothing more. At least BWD has a demonstrable (yet, basic) personality: being loyal to his friends, being courageous, seeking to improve himself, being different from other Waddle Dees. But again what do you mean by "interesting"?
Easton Roberts
Marss go home and cry on the to's dick

Blake James
But in favor of the rest of the newcomers being either meme characters or fucking clones.
Stay mad dude. These characters are in, if you can’t get over that and find a single character that you truly enjoy playing, you should probably play a different game.
As I said before, I don’t even care for Kid Icarus, but I don’t sperg out over the fact that the creator of Smash thought they’d make for interesting fighters with “it could have been any other of my favorite characters instead!” I don’t even like Incineroar and he’s been my favorite addition, likewise Simon was my favorite reveal but the playstyle doesn’t match my tastes.
Adam Nelson
Crash and Spyro aren't even fucking Playstation characters from the beginning.
Dylan Watson
Hey, don't bitch to me. Those are the reasons people give.
Charles Garcia
From a conceptual standpoint, she did “win” in the sense that she was added as a result of it
This.
Luis Young
boomers are literally upholding capitalism and through this ruining our games
Adam Jenkins
most important boomer characters were added in melee and brawl, theres no boomer characters left to even matter, only new characters are left.
Hudson Rivera
This. I remember the fights people would get in over Tom Nook, of all characters, before Brawl came out.
Crash was Playstations mascot during the N64 period, despite being owned by another’s party. Culturally he’s tied with Sony
Jackson Lee
I need something to identify old white evil congressmen who think there are citizens that just don't deserve health care
FUCK BOOMERS
Ryder Carter
He was never the mascot. He was just the PS1 posterboy. Not too mention if you look at SNOY's fucking actions as of lately. Be fucking lucky Crash was never owned by them.
>Stay mad dude. These characters are in, if you can’t get over that and find a single character that you truly enjoy playing, you should probably play a different game
I do but that doesnt mean there arent glaring flaws with the roster.
> As I said before, I don’t even care for Kid Icarus, but I don’t sperg out over the fact that the creator of Smash thought they’d make for interesting fighters with
Lmao both pit and palutena are some of the most basic characters in the game.
> “it could have been any other of my favorite characters instead!”
More like they shouldve actually given another franchise something instead of shoving Uprising in our faces for the 40th time.
Luis Russell
unrelated but anyone else having a problem where clicking to expand an image has like a 50/50 chance to open it in a new tab
Brayden Russell
>DUUUUDE ZOOMERS LMAO LOOK AT THIS FUNNY WOJAK The thing wrong with the Smash fanbase is mostly people who make Smash out to be way more important than it actually is, usually as backlash to fags who like more generic fighting games saying it's a kid's game/not a fighting game. They're not any better in terms of overstating the importance of their games, but Smashfags are usually more vocal and clingy.
The thing ruining Smash is the thing that ruins any game: Tryhard faggots.
Camden Sanders
you are all equally autistic
fuck off.
Easton Ortiz
Nook should have got in instead of Isabelle though
Blake Harris
The oldest zoomers are 19 moron
Lincoln Cox
Even then, doesn't Cloud fit that bill better? FF7 was the second best selling PS1 game (behind Ridge Racer, which became a bundle game) and was the biggest (at the time) exclusive cudgel Sony had to use against Nintendo. Plus whereas Crash as a franchise pretty much petered out for a while after the early PS2, FF7 as a whole and Cloud specifically continue to be MASSIVE marketing tools. SE and Sony have both exploited the absolute crap out of people's love for FF7 for far longer and more constantly than Crash.
If you want a character in to serve on the grounds of being a "Sony mascot", how does Crash even compete with the acclaim and significance of Cloud, who already made it in?
Cooper Brown
>Lmao both pit and palutena are some of the most basic characters in the game. I don't like them but by what metric are they basic at all? Palutena has a counter (which is also a reflect) and a teleport, but those are the only two "generic" things I can think of that she has.
Thomas Nguyen
Hey man I was just chiming in about the public perception of him being with Sony. I don’t think he should even really be in the game.
Chase Morgan
Based on this pic, are you Gen X, Millennial, or Zoomer?
>More like they shouldve actually given another franchise something instead of shoving Uprising in our faces for the 40th time. You just proved his point.
Jonathan Perez
In smash 4 without customs she was arguably the least unique non echo newcomer in the game.
>counter >reflector >zeldas up b >generic normals >no unique mechanics
Ultimate made her a little better but that doesnt retroactively justify her inclusion in 4.
Parker Jackson
Early Millenial for sure
David Reyes
How? You guys brush of all the shit uprising got but act lile the whole game would be ruined if any other franchise got even 5% of the love it got.
Sebastian Collins
Fair enough. I just get a bit into it since the most common arguments behind Crash having an "objective" claim to Smash comes off as dodgy as hell to me, and since people have tried saying straight to my face that Crash was more significant and known than Cloud fucking Strife.
Don't get me started on indietards. They're even goddamn stupider and outright entitled.
Henry Harris
Yes it’s well known that her default moves were trash, but that her customs offered the most variety out of the characters. The only other one I think comes close is Mega Man
>I don’t sperg out over the fact that the creator of Smash thought they’d make for interesting fighters with “it could have been any other of my favorite characters instead!” Responds with >they shouldve actually given another franchise something instead of shoving Uprising in our faces for the 40th time.
John Green
Thatd be great if anyone cared about customs past the first week of smash 3ds launch. We were left with a generic ass character whos gimmick we couldnt even use. Now we have a somewhat less generic character that still hasnt done anything to justify being in the game.
Zachary Turner
I mean, she wasn't novel, but I would consider "basic" to be like FE characters where they have basically nothing unique to offer. Even disregarding Palutena's customs (Which were easily the best customs in the game) she had stuff like the up smash or the windbox on her other smashes. I feel like Palutena was a fine addition even without the obnoxious hammering in of Uprising shit. It's not like Smash doesn't include characters who aren't that important.
Jackson Diaz
Play real fighting games cuckie
Xavier Richardson
What exactly does a character have to do to "justify" being in the game? Surely there are bigger fish to fry when it comes to that, like fucking Chrom and Lucina who basically just exist to be upgrades to Marth and Roy.
Oops I hit send. To continue, yeah it would be cool to have more franchises show up, but for a multitude of reasons they didn’t, and as I said just deal with it instead of sperging over Sakurai thinking they’d make for an interesting fighter
Wyatt Brown
>the game should be a crossover instead of "sakurai fellates uprising" >wow stop sperging out
Yeah customs were garbage, but the game was made around it (unfortunately), and her inclusion was an opportunity to play with the idea. That’s why she’s in, and that’s why she returned for Ult
Austin Cruz
Imagine if you were the director of smash 4. Ubless if you were a huge Uprising fanboy how would you come to the conclusion that Palutena should be in the game? Uprising wasnt a particularly big hit and there isn't anyone requesting Palutena. Hell, I cant think of a reason of why Palutena would have even crossed anyones mind when selecting newcomers.
Andrew Bell
>silent "t" >invisible "d" Reactionfags/hypeniggers confirmed to have double digit IQs. Maybe it's just irrationally angry autistic paranoia, but for some reason it came across to me as particularly dismissive how these types of faggots couldn't remember Richter's name correctly when they could remember blandos like Corrin just fine.
God bless Richter, the great casual and poser filter. Too bad we won't have another filter to expose reactors and throw them for a loop again if Dragon Quest actually gets a rep (no Echoes for the Pass, remember).
>Hell, I cant think of a reason of why Palutena would have even crossed anyones mind when selecting newcomers.
Because she was a major character in the last game Sakurai directed up to that point, it's not hard
Charles Parker
Because she could have an interesting moveset based on the custom move idea. Same with him picking Piranha plant because he thought it would provide a different character concept
William Fisher
>Yeah customs were garbage, but the game was made around it (unfortunately)
Not really. You couldnt even play them on default online modes and you had to unlock them first.
>forgetting miis exist
And notice how nobody cared when Palutena lost her customs in Ultimate, as if that isnt a reason why people defend her in smash in the first place.
Almost any character could have her customs gimmick
Jordan Murphy
Yes, the customs were a mediocre idea implemented poorly, we’ve established that. It was one of the key traits of 4 though, despite online not supporting it.
I didn’t forget Miis exist, I just didn’t list them because I was referring to actual characters. I did see complaints that Palutena wouldn’t have her run attack, or celestial fireworks. Sakurai at least was kind enough to merge the reflect and counter
Adam Stewart
>custom moves FFS why didn’t they use some of the customs in updating some characters
Jason Butler
>palutena is justified because of thise gimmick arbitrarily assigned to her >no the 4 other characters that have it don't count >no sakurai directing uprising had nothing to do with it >fuck rosterfags and their literal whos but palutena is okay!
What the hell does this have anything to do with the game itself?
Grayson Johnson
Or better yet, DIFFERENTIATING ECHOES EVEN SLIGHTLY. Especially a tragedy that those with the more unique customs went to waste.
I know Echoes are MUH LOW EFFORT, but considering how many assets and animations were reused from Brawl and Smash 4, would it really have been a ton of work to integrate former Customs into Echoes?
Aiden Robinson
you realize most of the characters that came in Ultimate were high up on the ballot, right?
Brandon James
based
Daniel Richardson
To be fair Isaac, Geno or some either highly requested pick did probably score very high on the ballot, Sakurai is infamous for skipping over actual ballot winners and top picks.
This is from the Melee poll back in 99, Sukapon was the most voted character in the "Other" category, yet Sakurai choose Ice Climbers despite being at the bottom.
All of you smashfags are cancer incarnate. How the mods haven't banned you all and sent you to /vg/ I'll never know. You're all terrible people and I hope you burn in hell.
John Stewart
