Bro, Steve made it in. I am so hyped right now, he was number 1 third-party character

Kinda sad to see the backlash though, especially when he was gaining traction prior to Banjo. All arguments are essentially boiling down to he is boring, no personality, etc.. I have no idea what to say. Fans act like most Smash characters have personality, but outside of a few like Dedede the characters in Smash are overall lifeless husks of their in-game counterparts. Just look at how overly serious Mario is. Steve’s move set looks great and the character will definitely appeal to the Millennial and Zoomer crowd that I know the Smash community hates because they believe Smash is not a kids game. ...Really? I swear, this community.

Here is hoping for Crash though, he would be the last of the characters I genuinely want to see. Maybe we could also get 2B, who knows.

I'm hoping for another Fire Emblem character preferably one from Awakening/Fates just so I can see two shit fanbases have an autistic meltdown.

That was the crux of Yahtzee's complaints about Ultimate, along with how Bayonetta was re-proportioned and modified to make her fit in with the cast, and the game just doesn't develop any of the characters. Which I think is fine, with how the N64 game portrayed them as toys coming to life. Toys never intentionally add anything to their characters' canon (Dr. Claw face reveal toy notwithstanding), and that's more or less what Smash is. A very autistic, spoiled child with a shitload of toys and playsets, who for whatever reason likes to wear white gloves and beat the living shit out of his own hands.

Trying to look into Smash as anything more than that, like so many of the fans do, just flat-out can't work.

Super Smash Bros feels like a 10 year old playing with his toys.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate feels like a 30 year old autistic writing fan fiction about his toys from when he was 10 except he's added about of weaboo figures he collected in his teens and 20's.

Seriously though, I remember booting up Ultimate and hearing the lyrics to the intro and was like "WTF?" cause it was cringe and felt like it took all these goofy fucking cartoony characters fighting each other way too seriously. It was a real shock because I didn't even touch Brawl and just barely touched the Wii U version at a friends house.

You skipped Brawl? Oh boy, you'd love its adventure mode, Subspace Emissary. It is literally that same 30 year old autistic writing fan fiction about his toys. Some of the cutscenes are just delightful in their unrepentant autism:




And guess who shows up right at the end of the game to face the final boss? It's exactly who you'd expect from something this autistic:


These are really from Brawl, and are a part of a 10-hour long campaign mode. There's no dialog throughout, and the gameplay is just a subpar platformer with assorted battles throughout.

So odd. So cringe. Especially Snake being involved like that.

I wanted to equate the stupidity to Mario Kart having a storyline. But like...even Mario Kart having a storyline would make more sense because the characters and the environments don't clash that much. (at least before they added Link I guess)

Smash Bros should just be a goofy fun game. Why the fuck does everything need to have a story and cinematic bullshit in it now?

Never forget that the world's longest written work was a Subspace Emissary fanfiction for a while (Now it's a Loud House fanfiction which is its own brand of horrible spergery. It's a script fanfiction and the summary says "harem later on" which speaks for itself).

I unironically love how Brawl encompasses the "dark and gritty crossover" stuff that was rampant in the 2000s and early 2010s. It's so dated and corny, but they really don't make things like that anymore. Just remember, fans took this shit seriously and ate it up.

Super Mario 3d Allstars has apparently outsold Xenoblade Chronicles HD release. Mario was just some minor cleanup on rom ports while Xenoblade had nearly the entire game remade.

So if people are wondering why Nintendo didn't go the full red carpet treatment for the games I think this is why.

This is more because they did a limited release thing too. Along with all their other limited release shit. They KNOW people will jump up to buy it trying to scalp it. Like maybe 20% of it is that its Mario games.

Arlo released a 25 minute video addressing how you can't discuss the Paper Mario series online at all without making autists screech everywhere:

If it gets Arlo to finally stfu about Paper Mario then it would have all been worth it. I am sick of him (and Bit Block) constantly jerking off the GCN critical darlings. TTY this, Pikmin that. LM this, AC that. Like we get it, that era had some good games, but all eras do, move on.

Arlo is the literal embodiment of the soy infused Nintendo fan


He needs to pull his hand out of his ass.
 
One of the major things that urks me about Nintendo fans is their inability to really call out Nintendo when they mess up when it comes to their major IP. Their reaction to the whole Sword & Shield debacle, dog pilling any fans that called out that it looked like shit as not being true fans, is probably the best example of this. It doesn't help that when Nintendo fans do complain they still end up buying the game anyway and act like there was nothing they could do to stop themselves, literal zero self control. I don't understand wasting your money on a game that you know won't be any good.

My point in bring that up is that every time there's a large controversy that has Nintendo fans swear they're boycotting a game they almost always cave and get it anyway rather than be responsible with their money. Even worse is their attempts to justify caving in and rush to defend their purchase with numerous excuses. Looking off the franchise wiki it seems like Sword & Shield sold around 18.22 which is the highest since Gold and Silver. Way to show Nintendo/Game Freak that game quality doesn't matter and that Nintendo game boycotts are just all grandstanding.

This doesn't just apply to Nintendo fans, but I notice it the most with them.

You missed probably my absolute favorite cutscene:
I remember having a lot of fun with the story mode even if most of it was boring platforming since the story was highly entertaining in trying to piece together all these different characters and their interactions. It ended up giving them a lot of character even if it was fan fiction tier and as you said highly autistic.
 
I liked trying to get trophies of all the mook and bosses in SSE but did not find the platforming fun on its own. Oh boy, enemies that have large health bars and what amounts to enormous knockback on your character after taking a hit.

Still wish it came back...

FOMO, basically. They know that discussion about Sword and Shield would carry on, as it's one of those mainline games with brand new Pokemon, and chances are, they don't have anyone else in their lives to talk to for hours about the minutiae of Pokemon. And it's not like they're gonna just abruptly stop playing their favorite franchise. They're just that deeply embedded in their retarded little community, and can't fathom betraying father figure Nintendo by daring to try something else.

I guess there's something to also be said about how they can't really argue directly with the kind of dicks that insist you can't criticize the game without playing it first. "This looks like shit, so I'm not gonna buy it" isn't really possible to say without leaving the community, when the community's gonna spend most of the time discussing the new game, leaving anyone wanting to keep discussing Ultra Sun & Moon behind.
 
All I know some younger kids are looking forward to play as Minecraft characters in Smash and I am ok with it.

I personally do not hate the idea of Smash being more, and to some degree there is more value than Yahtzee let on, but let’s not kid ourselves. These games are flashy and dumb as can be. I appreciate the revivals Smash has done, such as Mega Man, Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus, the old PAC-MAN, etc.. It also keeps some characters alive such as Snake. I think Yahtzee really hit home why I hate Spirits as a replacement for trophies though. Trophies acted as a museum that preserved video game history to some degree, while spirits are basically just stickers. There is no description or even a note to say which game they are from. I also liked Subspace as it atleast tried to give the fighters their personalities to clash with. Was it stupid, yes, but the effort was there and it was fun for what it is, definitely better than say MvC.

Ultimately though, Smash is nothing special outside of its once a generation release with barely any competitors. The fighters, especially ones from older entries, are the most static and lifeless characters can get. Also, does anyone else think Smash looks bad. It looks so plastic and the fighters just have light weirdly bounce off of them. The models look half finished a good chunk of the time, Snake in Ultimate being a stand out that seemingly looks worse compared to Brawl.

Excuse me what

I got nothing, it's either because of Notch being problematic or because 4chan made those Grotesque Steve memes.
