    EarthBound spoilers: If you play EarthBound on the SNES, do not save your progress after you travel to the past to fight Giygas or else you'll be stuck there until you defeat him. I'm not sure why it even allows you to save from that point on.
    I've been told Geno is just a meme character. If people don't actually want Geno then why are they campaigning for him?

    Don't even think about it, it's clearly just a detractor who tries to crush other people's hopes and dissuade them from actually wanting someone they'd like to have.

    If a character with high fan demand is a meme, then by that logic you might as well ignore at LEAST 70% of Smash speculation.

    Geno was literally one of the most requested characters if not the most requested character during Brawl speculation. Geno was popular before memes even become a big thing on the Internet.
    There should be a SpongeBob episode or movie based on Battle for Bikini Bottom. But it can't be called Battle for Bikini Bottom because there's already an episode titled Battle for Bikini Bottom. The one where SpongeBob and Patrick fight over being dirty and clean.
    Just because some competitive players are evil doesn't mean all of them are. If I were to become a competitive player and participate in an EVO tournament, I would never do what Nario did.

    Oh...well, okay then, Venus of the Desert Bloom Venus of the Desert Bloom Didn't know that. First comment on this status edited, then.

    Regardless, my point still stands. Pros like Leffen are speaking out, things will get better once the dust settles, and we have a chance to move on knowing people like the offenders are gone.

    I know people dislike disloyalty, but consent is consent.
    I'm polyamorous, and I've had multiple girlfriends at once before.
    Please do not compare sexual assault to disloyalty.

    Allegations are pending so I can’t fully comment on them with confidence. However, from what I gather, there was nothing consensual about HBox trying to hook up with other Smasher’s S/O and/or GFs. I don’t know about his own girlfriend and if she was cool with it. However, from the general feeling, most girls were not comfortable with him creeping up on them despite them having boyfriends and, as the Tweet mentions, “don’t let HBox near your girlfriends”. I’ve known a few guys who thought they were within their rights to steal girlfriends because, if they succeeded, it meant that the relationship was doomed for failure regardless. It gave them a control rush and fostered their already inflated “alpha male” ego.

    If all parties were fine with all of this and were in agreement; then no issue. If all of this was unwarranted and HBox was acting on his own impulses; it’s sexual assault and/or sexual abuse. Again, allegations are pending and I’m not one to jump to guilt instantly. I do want to hear from multiple sides before they tarnish his career. However, I also disagree with brushing aside allegations “pish-posh” until more significant evidence shows itself.
    Why did history forget about ARMS until now? The game is an underrated gem. It just needs to be expanded on.
    What if Pyra was a Mii Brawler costume and Mythra was a Swordfighter costume?

    But Pyra almost never uses her sword in XC2 and Rex is known for using it while she's known for not having a weapon in her hands.
    If Sora were to join, the Mickey chain on his Keyblade would be replaced with a Smash symbol chain. References to non video game characters are not allowed in Smash.

    But he's also not a video game character. While characters like Jessie and James have been in video games, the only thing Ash has ever appeared in is Pokemon Puzzle League, which was NA exclusive(Because it was a reskin of another game).

    Isn't one of Cloud's alts literally taken from an animated movie?

    The movie is still Final Fantasy related and the alt was invented for the Final Fantasy IP. Mickey was not invented for Kingdom Hearts, he was invented for his own cartoon series.
    What if Inklings and Octolings could use real AK-47s in Splatoon? The AK-47 can't paint the ground but its bullets can instantly defeat an opponent and after you fire all of the bullets, the gun automatically reloads after a while. Just kidding, Nintendo would never allow real guns in their games.
    I've got to be more positive when I talk about things. I spend too much time being negative. Spring Man can wait until Smash 6 if he can't be in Ultimate's DLC. I can be content with Min Min.
    I love how they made Min Min work in Smaah by using the A and B buttons to use her left and right arms. It's fitting because Smash and ARMS both focus on two attack buttons.
    If Geno joins, his stage should be Bowser's Keep. We need a Bowser Castle stage anyway.

    I'm about 99% certain that would be the case, seeing as the staff likes going after the first thing you see in a game.

    That would be amazing, I imagine that if it were the case, there would be a mechanic with the 2 chandeliers held by Chomps, when these Chomps accumulate damage they drop the chandeliers, at some point the sword would fit into the castle during full battle. I know that the forest is a more representative place for Geno, but I think that would be boring.
    Sakurai always considers the poster boy of a game when deciding what character to take from said game. He must not have considered Spring Man because he's already an assist trophy.
    Smash is still a Nintendo crossover. 3rd party characters are guests of honor.
    Spring Man being playable in Smash would have boosted ARMS sales than Min Min being playable in Smash will. Just saying. Since Spring Man takes up most of ARMS's box art, more people will recognize him.

    How does recognizability make people want to buy a game? This argument makes no sense.

    It’s like saying more people would buy Tetris if the T block was in Smash than if the O block was in smash because the T block is on the game’s logo

    Some Smash fans are more likely to buy a DLC character they know than a character they don't know.

    You realize that applies for EVERY SINGLE VIDEO GAME CHARACTER IN EXISTENCE, let alone the ones in Ultimate, right?
    Robin got picked over Chrom in Smash 4 even though Chrom is the protagonist of Awakening but Robin is still the 2nd most important character in Awakening and he's a very close 2nd. You might even say Chrom, Robin and Lucina are the three main characters of Awakening so the protagonists first rule still stands.

    Though it's great that we're getting Min Min. I'm still heartbroken that Spring Man's chances of joining Ultimate are ruined but if we're very lucky, he'll be FP11.

    What would consist of a Spring Man Fighter Pack 11? We have basically most of the music that would be included plus not to mention Spirits (we have yet to see them but for real, we are sure to get most of the remaining cast). As well, we already have Spring Stadium. Would Spring Man have Ramen Bowl? It would make no sense. I would consider Spring Man such a stretch that even I’m sure it would break his springs if he tried to reach that far. I’m pretty sure most people would not be happy to get a second ARMS Rep in Fighter’s Pass Vol 2.

    I honestly think Spring Man or another Arms rep ain't getting in until Smash 6. It's still possible in Ultimate if Season Pass 3 happens but that's unlikely.
    What if the ARMS character is a Hero situation where Spring Man is the default and Ribbon Girl, Min Min and Springtron are alts for him? They can all use each other's gloves and Spring Man, Ribbon Girl and Springtron could be able to kick opponents like Min Min does.
    Did Nintendo appreciate it when Sakurai mentioned the XBOX in the Banjo presentation and encouraged Nintendo's customers to play XBOX?

    Didn't someone at Nintendo once say they don't see XBOX/Playstation as competitors since Nintendo usually tries to offer something different to them?

    It was probably just PR talk, but there may have been some amount of truth to it.

    I think Nintendo is the best gaming company when it comes to negotiating with others and building a solid relationship. Sony doesn't do this as well because they're not a gaming company but a entertainment one that is in all certs of fields like tvs, computers, movies, and games. Surely, Sony cares more about money than it's fans compared to Nintendo who like to be direct and open with it's fans.
    It's June and Vol. 2 was released in January. How do we STILL not know who the first character is? You'd think there would be at least a Joker styled trailer for the first character by now, but no.

    Even taking COVID out of the picture, Volume 2 was always meant to be slower, while it is giving us one more character than the previous one, it's meant to go until December of 2021. Plus, we at least know fighter 6 is from ARMS? But COVID may have slowed things down even more, yes.
    ARMS 3rd anniversary just so happens to be next Tuesday and Tuesday is when Nintendo usually lets us know about Smash related news. June 16th is probably when FP6 will release.
    I've realized that Microsoft is still a competitor to Nintendo even though the two companies are friends now so we might as well have a Sony rep too. The question is, which Sony rep? Kratos can't join unless he appeared in the Nintendo console version of a different game on a Nintendo console.
    Wario Wario Wario
    Wario Wario Wario
    PaRappa would be my choice. Kratos or Ratchet are the most likely through. I don't think any Sony game characters have appeared on Nintendo consoles except Q*Bert, who isn't owned by Sony's gaming division anyway, he's owned by their film division.

    I know you probably get comments like this a lot, but there's no way that fan rule can be true. "Only Nintendo characters" was a similar fan rule once. Using the Joker example, if he's truly only in Smash because of Persona Q2 why isn't the game itself represented in Smash? Besides, Sakurai has stated that Smash is a celebration of gaming history, not Nintendo history.
    Why does Smash only have one character that belongs to a non Japanese company? Smash is made by a Japanese company is not an excuse for this. At all. There's tons of western franchises Japan likes, so that means they would want characters from these games. Crash Bandicoot, Steve from Minecraft, Ezio, the list goes on and on.

    Well, as far as I know, there's still Koei Tecmo, Arc System Works, Spike Chunsoft...

    And there's still represented companies who don't have some IPs represented yet. Just to name a few:

    SEGA:
    -Puyo Puyo
    -Sakura Wars
    -Streets of Rage
    -The House of the Dead

    NAMCO:
    -Xenogears
    -Tekken
    -Time Crisis
    -Other arcade classics (like Dig Dug, for instance)

    Square Enix:
    -Kingdom Hearts (technically?)
    -The World Ends with You
    Why does Nintendo keep leaving us in the dark every few months? That's worse than letting us know a character is coming several months in advance. That would torture us by making us wait several months but at least that would let us know when the character is coming.
    Last summer two DLC characters were shown at E3 so it's likely that the 2nd Vol. 2 character will be announced alongside the ARMS rep. Said character may get a Terry style trailer or a gameplay footage trailer if we're lucky.
    In order for 2B to be eligible to join Smash, she must appear in a different game on a Nintendo console first. Then and only then will she be eligible. Joker was eligible because the Japanese version of Persona Q2 released before Joker was first announced for Smash.

    Do you SERIOUSLY believe that fan rule? Smash isn't about Nintendo any more - if anything it stopped being about Nintendo once Ryu get in.

    Ryu had several games on Nintendo consoles starting with SF2 on the Super Nintendo, and Cloud appeared in these Nintendo games before his official Smash appearance:
    -Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (Game Boy Advance)
    -Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded (DS)
    -The Theatrhythm series (3DS)
    -Final Fantasy Explorers (3DS)

    So yeah; Cloud wasn't nearly extravagant as Ryu in terms of Nintendo-related appearance prior to Smash 4, but they were definitely there in both cases.
    Every Fighter's Pass character can appeal to new audiences who have never played Smash before and/or don't have a Switch.

    Joker and Hero can appeal to PlayStation fans who play Persona 5 and DQ11.
    Banjo can appeal to XBOX fans who play Rare Replay.
    Terry can appeal to Sony and XBOX fans who play SNK games.
    Byleth can appeal to people who play Fire Emblem Heroes but don't have a Switch. Byleth is in FE Heroes.

    It would be a great way to show solidarity to the virus or even allow purchases to towards helping those affected by the virus. Sadly though, I think this wouldn’t be received well by those outside the Smash circle. Kind of a “too soon” type of thing. Also, beating on someone for having a mask on has different connotations to it (ie Hong Kong banning face masks due to protestors against Chinese influence using them to hide identities).

    I don’t find personally offensive but I would imagine there are those that do. As well saw with MGW and the Native American issue, I can honestly say including a face mask would probably ruffle to many feathers. I safer and less offensive way to go about it is maybe feature avatars of Smash characters in masks.
