I feel that even though people outside it's fandom aren't talking about it much, NASB did have some significant yet subtle effects on Smash discussion - for one thing it certainly feels like it destigmatised wavedashing a slight bit with how simple it made the technique, but as well as that I've seen side characters getting in over protags discussed a lot more after Helga; Nigel; Reptar; only two Turtles; e.t.c. (Pyra and Mythra were probably a bigger factor in this, especially since they came before NASB's reveal, but at the very least they have a main character for their series)

The Apu controversy is weird because I feel both sides of the argument were over-exxagerating, yet I also understand both sides. On one hand, he is undeniably a stereotype and having a white person voice a person of colour is harmful and absolutely not the same situation as a man voicing a female character or adult voicing a child or what have you, but on the other hand it isn't literal blackface either (or at least not as culturally damaging as a full-on minstrel show) and Apu is one of the kindest souls in Springfield (not that that's saying much). I think it was really nice of Hank Azaria to apologise, but the response both in the show itself and from other staff members was rather poor (then again, what do you expect from modern Simpsons?) and the wait to see who his new VA is if any has gone on way too long compared to that of Carl and Dr. Hibbert.

Even though he was the one that started the whole "Smash killer" BS, I'm glad Hungrybox still puts out NASB content when major reveals and news happen.

i cant believe i just rigged a vote by accident using a pun

I feel that launching without items was probably a bigger problem for NASB than a lack of VA - despite having an unwarranted rep as some strictly competitive game that "misses the point", it probably has the best mechanics and second best set of non-modded content for casual play in a platform fighter - I believe it's the only non-Smash platfighter to have a scrolling stage and big stages (I could be wrong on the latter though), and its hyper-fast hyper-aggressive gameplay is utterly perfect for kids with short attention spans who don't want to learn how to shield. Items would've made it much more accessable for Nick's core audience.

While I know arcade ports for non-mobile Western games are near-non-existant, it feels a little strange that the Nick Kart Racers games didn't get arcade ports - combine Nicktoons Racing cabinets from 2000 still being an extremely common sight at Chuck E. Cheese with GameMill having a working relationship with Raw Thrills and it seems like the best star-alignment for any console game in the past 15 years to make it to arcades.

Palutena's Temple would've been a really fun stage if it were just this portion alone

Also the spring in this stage really annoys me - they went out of their way to make the spring on Gaur Plain aesthetically fitting, so why not do the same for this stage's spring?

In the UK, we have laws against showing content for adults on children's channels - even post-watershed - so Adult Swim and Nick at Nite have never been things here, especially the latter. Thus, not having the experience of waking up in the middle of the night and seeing both on at the same time, I don't really consider Nick at Nite to be Nick's equivalent to Adult Swim, but rather Comedy Central and MTV.

I think a Dynamite Headdy remake would be super cool so long as they made it a composite of the US and JP versions - keep the boss redesigns and pop culture references from US version, being back the plot and dialogue from the JP version, and find the perfect balance between the two polar-opposite difficulties.

The only characters in NASB I actively feel "this is wrong" about the lack of voice acting for are Zim and Ren & Stimpy (especially the prior of that duo) - three characters known for screaming. Even characters with especially iconic voices like Mikey and Patrick I can ignore the silence of, but if Zim and Ren aren't screaming it certainly comes off as a bit odd.

I've been thinking public domain stuff a lot lately, and I just came up with an idea I really like for Public Domain Pooh, but also wouldn't really be tonally compatible with the sort of games I desire to make:

Pooh as a wise, but not smart, Yoda-like mentor to an action hero - taken almost completely seriously, Pooh would still have his trademark naivity; love for hunny; and fear of Heffalumps, but it wouldn't really play onto the "you didn't expect to see Winnie here!" angle, no Disney or China metajokes. Pooh is a warm figure who's known for making up for foolishness with sheer wisdom; and lacking any sense of hostility, so he would make a reallly good "elderly sage" figure in a fantasy setting - seeming like a fool from a glance, but reeling the hero and their team back when they're about to be driven to drastic measures.

Phineas and Ferb in a Disney platform fighter is a rare case where I feel I'd actually prefer the relatable audience surrogate while everyone else wants to go straight to the more battle-fit side characters. I can't really see what Agent P or Doofenshmirtz would do in a fighting game other than just... being small with powerful attacks, and having laser projectiles respectively. Meanwhile, two kids with a limitless creativity and easy; proficient access to adult building equipment? The moveset is just begging to be written!

I decided to make - wouldn't really call them wishlists (I'm not invested in Multiversus and only have a passing interest in Fraymakers) - moreso "who I'd add if I could" lists - for the major crossover platfighters. I think the main takeaway here is that 1. elders, babies, and snakes are my ideal fighting game characters and 2. I am terrible at graphic design.

I teel Oompa Loompas would be pretty cool in Multiversus. Give me that capoeira goodness.

After starting Mario Smash, I've started to feel a lot more guilty in participating in early jobs for creation threads without the intent of partaking further. Even if my submission or 2nd voted wins, I'm probably not gonna stick around for the Vs. Capcom thread unless it ends up being Kelloggs for example

People have already pointed out how strange a name "Little Baby Bum" is for a nursery rhyme channel, but honestly a name that could be UNINTENTIONALLY for the love of god im not trying to cancel cocomelon i'm not petty like pewdiepie is read as "cocoa-watermelon" rubs me a much worse way.

Damn, I never expected in my life to openly see Pixar and Disney corporate beef (I was 4 when Circle 7 closed). I could always tell there was some strife between Disney corporate and Disney storytellers.

The more I go down the "Sonic in unpopular in Japan" rabbithole, the more "oof" it gets.

This is the most viewed video I found while YouTube searching Sonic's (full) Japanese name that isn't either English made with Japanese tags or Japanese made with an English localised title and description (the latter of which there was only one of for the full name, a little more showed up with just "Sonic", but still not much)

2.3 Million.

Oof.

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 10, 2022

Usually other platform fighters are seen as "substitutes" for an official Smash role, but in the case of Sonic people pretty much only want his movie counterpart in NASB because of how poorly he was handled in Brawl. Even though Sonic isn't topping (or even making) the fan polls or anything, he does still come up in discussion a lot more than other non-Nick Paramount properties and I imagine he wouldn't even be considered in passing by the NASB fandom if he weren't already in Smash. (or, of course, treated with more respect there)

Speaking of ragtime, they should add a Brewster's Roost stage to Smash for the sole purpose of having a Western bar fight-style Animal Crossing ragtime remix made for it.

While I like that Banjo is in Smash, (despite his moveset not being well executed) it also feels extremely ill-advised for a game building itself up as a "celebration of gaming" to skip over Master Chief or Marcus Fenix for Banjo.
