Me: The 3D Mario compilation and return-to-form Paper Mario rumors are fake, who'd be stupid enough to believe them?
Also Me: but what if
Calling it now: FP6 is going to be Dr. Coyle. Spring Man's already in as an assist, so unless they promote him to playable, the default character of the roster is out of the running. Dr. Coyle's the last character that was added to ARMS, is the director of ARMS Laboratories and is the biggest bad of the game, with Headlok and Max Brass being the final boss of the arcade mode on lower difficulties, making her the Akuma of the game. She's got the most lore behind her compared to other characters on the roster, and her gimmicks are having a float instead of a jump and having teleporting dodges (like Mewtwo). The mechanics of ARMs wouldn't be too obscured by her relatively simple gimmicks, and she could wield different signature weapons of other fighters like you can in-game.
And if not her? Just give me a Coyle alt color for whoever does get in and I'll be happy.
Drama aside, is nobody going to acknowledge the fact Sakurai (or at least his English voiceover) called Mother Brain "Mom" so casually?
And now the internet shall burst into flames. Get your flame-proof bunkers ready, folks.
On a more serious note, congrats to the folks that wanted Byleth/a Three Houses rep. They aren't a Marth clone, so I'm content.
The bad news: We're probably not getting a Nintendo Direct until February, since the two big runners for new info have their own directs this month.
The good news: We're getting a 35 minute Smash Direct on the fifth DLC character, Thursday's going to be WILD.
> 64/TTYD style paper mario rumored/leaked for a direct
Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.
> sudden 6.1.1 update drops
> all it does is add richter and dark samus amiibo support
Well, uh... that might be a solid January deconfirm.
... Huh. We’ve never got a dedicated Pokemon Direct so soon after a main series release before, which makes me wonder what they’ll possibly be announcing.
We’ve also had a couple instances of Nintendo Directs happening a few days before/after a Pokemon Direct, so I wouldn’t lose hope just yet of a Nintendo Direct this month.
I had one of those weird, fleeting dreams you get right before you wake up that Isabelle’s Fishing Rod was just this unstoppable option that could be used in any situation, and people were making videos about banning her like they did with Hero. Wack.
For the new year, the future’s looking pretty clear.
... Get it? 20/20?
Ah well, back to people losing their minds for a January Direct. Happy New Years!
The year is 2021. Smash Ultimate's DLC has ceased production, and ends with 20+ characters added post-launch, along with a plethora of other features and quality of life changes and balance patches. The first Nintendo Direct since Smash Ultimate's post-launch development cycle has wrapped up has just premiered.
"okay, but where's smash?"
I'm hoping we get either news or confirmation of a new 2D Sonic from the Mania team some time next year. I've been watching retrospectives and replaying Mania recently, and now I'm really craving a sequel.
Y’all ever have bad luck that is also the opposite of bad luck? Like “get a square shiny Mudbray instead of the 1% Sizzlipede you’re actually trying to catch” bad luck?

For those out of the loop, the FTC is enforcing changes to Youtube that could and WILL devastate thousands of content creators, possibly moreso than any change Youtube them self has made before. The deadline is December 9th, please watch this, get informed, and take a stand.
Version 6.1.0 Patch Notes:
- Made sure Ice Climbers are okay when Squall Hammer and Terry's Buster Wolf connect with each other.
I had a stupid dream where I somehow used a final smash on my own character, resulting in my console bricking. And then I hear news that Terry is out here bricking Switches. I'm gonna pretend like this was a prophecy delivered to me in my dreams, and not just dumb coincidence.
6.0 has new options for Arenas: broke
6.0 buffed a bunch of low tiers, including King K. Rool: WOKE
Shoutouts to the substitute English teacher for my Junior year of high school that let me write an argumentative essay on why Ganondorf shouldn't be a semi-clone of Captain Falcon for my final grade, and let me keep coming back to his classroom to play Smash 4 Wii U with other kids on the last day. What a legend.
If you're ever feeling down on your luck or like a failure, just remember that no matter how bad you screw up, at least you can't screw things up any worse than Bethesda has, and still is with Fallout 76. It's the train wreck that just keeps on giving.
It bothers me more than it should that DK's white alt doesn't have a blue tie so that he perfectly matches Super Kong from DKCR.
Watching a video about what the next Mario & Luigi game could be like, and then waking up the next morning to hear news that Alphadream is filing for bankruptcy is the hardest whiplash I've ever experienced, yeesh. Hope Nintendo either buys the company and makes them second party, or otherwise helps them get back onto their feet.
Everyone: So how long do you plan to work on Smash Ultimate's DLC before moving on to something else?

Mii Gunner playerbase: exists
Every single person who dished out $0.75 on the spot for a Sans costume and Megalovania: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
I hope I'm not jinxing myself saying this, but I'm glad Banjo isn't considered terrible (Piranha Plant) or overpowered (Joker, Hero) by the community, he's just a solid character with strengths and weaknesses that isn't stirring up any controversy. Hope this trend continues for DLC.
Out of all the reveals today... the sudden Megalovania triggered my fight or flight response, I was reeling for the rest of the Smash segment after that, jesus. Toby and Sakurai playing Smash together also sounds hilarious.
Apparently for the Hero presentation, Sakurai literally took the Youtuber route, sat down by himself in a room with a camera, and ad-libbed the presentation like it was a Let's Play video.
Those memes taking Sakurai's face cam footage and putting it over other gameplay as if he actually was a gaming Youtuber were more accurate than I think anyone realized.
I only recently got back into Splatoon 2, and previously only participated in one Splatfest, Pulp vs. No Pulp. I missed the Final Splatfest, now I’m kinda sad I missed this game in its prime. It arguably has better online all around than Smash does.
Even though I'm still on the fence with Sw/Sh due to E3 and the fallout from that, I can at least respect that they didn't drop the concept of regional forms, and actually expanded on it (adding them to Pokemon outside Gen 1, variant-exclusive evolutions). The same unfortunately can not be said for Megas, Z-Moves, etc.
Reminder there's no right or wrong way to play the game. Competitive or casual, don't deride people for how they play or enjoy Smash.
The Virgin EVO vs The Chad Online Tourney
Happy Birthday, Sakurai! Here's to many more years to come! Just don't work yourself into an early grave, okay? We don't want you to keel over from pouring your heart and soul into Smash 6 or something.
Honest take? The only BS part of Hero to me is the random crits on smash attacks, that's just not fun. Every other part of Hero is jank, but not OP. He's like a Mr. Game & Watch turned up to 11.
You know what'd be hilarious? If Hero ended up getting banned, but Yggdrasil's Altar was deemed tourney legal. That'd be a first.
Hero looks really cool, and I feel like his down special is going to lead to some REALLY nutty and fun stuff... but critical hit on Smash attacks has me concerned. Uncharged f-smash did 50% damage, that's pretty wack. Guess we'll see once he drops tonight.
If you're a Paper Mario fan and haven't heard of the recent call-to-arms, I'd watch Arlo's newest video on the petition for a TTYD Switch port/HD remake. The pessimist in me says it isn't likely, but the optimist in me hopes this can be heard by the right people at Nintendo and cause a chain reaction.
#RemasterThousandYearDoor
It's pretty common knowledge that the Gamecube's codename was Dolphin, so I got curious and looked up the Wii U's. The Wii U's codename was, according to Wikipedia, Project Café. Wack.
I already have my Switch and don't plan on blowing $200 bucks for another one, but man, I really wish my Switch was banana yellow color :/
Hot take: Peach should've been the fourth playable character in SMM2 instead of Toadette.
Well, I finally got SMM2! Couldn't find a physical copy anywhere near me, so I just caved and bought a digital copy. Now I just need to download it and-
