I'm going to abstain from the latest Mario Smash alt jobs (I can't think of anything that hasn't already been submitted), but I did want to point out something I found darkly hilarious during my research.

One requirement for unlocking Drumstick in Diddy Kong Racing involves running him over. I am not making this up.

i don't think i've typed the word "wario" so much in my life

FazDude · Mar 12, 2022

Alright, with nine days of spring break ahead of me and an idea in mind, I'm setting off to work on my first MYM moveset. It won't be the most flashy character out there, but I've had them on the brain for days now and they're someone I think I could have a lot of fun with.

i probably won't participate in the fortnite creation thread but seeing glamrock freddy promoting it makes me happy

if sunset beach gets into the mario smash thread, i will be submitting this as a music track

FazDude · Mar 10, 2022

Does anyone know how long MYM submissions are open for? I really wanna do at least one, but I wanna have an idea of the timeframe I have to submit an entry/make comments.

edit: nevermind it was in the thread itself. this is a disasterous error on my part

mad piano more like chad piano

appears in one level in one game
garners a reputation as one of the most frightening enemies in the mario series
gets into a popular smash mod

The dialouge in Fortune Street is actually insane. Everyone's either a huge jerk to you for zero reason or is really funny out of context, if not both.

"You got any hobbies, (Player's name)? I'm into lots of things: golf, tennis, basketball, beating you at this game..." - Luigi
"I am SO happy for you, (Player's name). Cross my heart. Yay. Umm...can you tell I'm being totally sarcastic?" - Bowser Jr.
"Ook... Ooook ookity. (Urgh... I guess I'm not cut out for big business.)" - Diddy Kong
"Ookie ooka ooo? (You're not gonna start crying or anything, are you, (Player's name)?)" - Donkey Kong
"Yay for me, Luigi! What? I'm in last place? Oh... That's too bad." - Luigi
"Huh. That's certainly an... interesting move, (Player's name). Are you sure you know how to play this game?" - Princess Daisy
"I don't think I'm e-emotionally c-capable of handling such a d-d-defeat!" - Toad
"Drat! If any of you breathes a word of my bankruptcy to my credit card company, I'll get you good!" - Waluigi
"GRR! Don't make me mad, little man/lady. I'll send a Wario Waft your way!" - Wario

While I'm going to let Duel Grounds slide, I'm on the fence about allowing further fangame content into All-Star Strife. On one hand, fangames are indie projects by definition, but on the other, they are usually based off non-indie IPs, and so representing them would kinda take away from the whole point of the thread. I have a bunch of possible solutions, but I have to give them more thought (I've got class soon anyway, so I can't really go on a spiel about them right now).

(By fangames, I'm talking about stuff like Smash Flash and SRB2; Things like Freedom Planet, which are clearly inspired by non-indie games but have their own identity, are still perfectly OK.)

seeing a question mark pfp in my alerts was like seeing bigfoot

FazDude · Mar 6, 2022

"Goodbye" comes from the term “Godbwye” a contraction of the phrase “God be with ye”.
Shigeru Miyamoto is ambidextrous, but prefers to use his left hand (a trait shared by a few of his characters).
Kangaroos can't walk backwards.
When Google's Pac-Man doodle went live in 2010, it was estimated that about 120 million dollars' worth of productivity hours were lost.
During the development of the first Mario Tennis game, a "Wapeach" was considered to compliment Wario and Waluigi. However, Miyamoto shot down this idea.
Diddy Kong was originally concieved as a redesign of Donkey Kong Jr. However, Nintendo felt that the design was too radically different, asking Rare to either make the design a new character or scrap them in favor of DK Jr.'s original appearance. Rare went with the former, and Diddy Kong was born (although names such as "Diet DK" and "DK Lite" were also considered).
Bonetrousle was originally composed as the normal battle music for Deltarune, but was repurposed as Papyrus' battle theme in Undertale.

waking up to 11 smashboards notifications after oversleeping

most of them are for likes on my status and not crucial creation thread stuff

So I decided to check out Antonball based on its popularity in All-Star Strife, and... It looks really fun. I really need to rework my budget before I can buy it for myself, but I'm keeping it on my radar.

I'm really liking how the thread's been able to introduce me to a handful of games like this, and if more people feel the same way, then that just takes the thread beyond a silly "what if" scenario to a way to discover games that really deserve some praise.

~~that said i am still gonna try my hardest to get bloons content in the game, even if i do have some other obscure indie games i'd like to promote as well~~

me seeing cuphead and anton leading the all-star strife character vote by a LARGE margin

FazDude · Mar 5, 2022

Is picking eight objects from a list of 16 too much to ask for a creation thread? Asking for a friend.

FazDude · Mar 5, 2022

I just wanna say it now; I’m really grateful for the success All-Star Strife has gotten so far, and I hope the momentum continues going past this first character job. I’m going to do my best to keep this thread fun and engaging (heck, I even have some fun ideas for themed jobs already!)

FazDude · Mar 5, 2022

what if the g in "spamton g spamton" stood for "gspamton" that would be funny i think

FazDude · Mar 4, 2022

also i'd just like to warn everybody that bloons td is, indeed, an indie game.

make of that what you will.

FazDude · Mar 4, 2022

The first All-Star Strife character vote's probably gonna be a big one. 10 submissions barely two hours in, and I wanna start filling out this roster. Maybe four characters from the current job get in (assuming more don't get added)?

(the job still closes tomorrow evening, so there's still lots of time to submit characters/stages!)

I may be starting up that indie fighting game creation thread a little earlier than expected.

FazDude · Mar 3, 2022

okay NOW i have 100 messages wahoo

I'm starting to outline how I want my indie fighter creation thread to go; I'm going to list everything on a Google Doc because I think that looks nicer.

I do have one thing I'm unsure of, however: Should I allow people to suggest/vote special move schemes (things such as #/directions of specials and # of super moves), or should the thread start with one set in stone?

FazDude · Mar 2, 2022

It brings me great comfort to know that even during its darkest times, Donkey Kong was still revolutionizing the video game industry.

FazDude · Mar 2, 2022

Anyway, if I end up doing that indie fighter creation thread I brought up yesterday, I can promise of you three things:

It won't be that big - I want it to be both a test run to see if I am capable of running full-scale creation threads and a smaller, quicker thread without too much commitment. I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of 24 fighter slots for the base game, early 30s at absolute most.
Shovel Knight will be a locked-in character at the start of the thread. It's inevitable.
I would be unsure of what to do regarding Minecraft content. On one hand, it started as an indie game and was one of the largest prior to Mojang being purchased by Microsoft, but at the same time, it really isn't an indie game now.

FazDude · Mar 2, 2022

Not like Crashboards didn’t just happen or anything, but please do forgive me if I’m a bit slower on stuff today. I’m not gonna go on a major vent or anything, but I haven’t exactly been having the greatest time today.

FazDude · Mar 1, 2022

This whole Missions/Rewards thing Nintendo's doing on Switch now is a neat concept, but I'm not a fan of how you can't mix and match icon elements from different games. The SMO options aren't that appealing, either, and I don't really care about Animal Crossing, so I'm not gonna get the New Horizons stuff. I'm just gonna stick with my SMB1 Mario art until they add the Splatoon elements that were teased.

(also nintendo now's your chance to give us actual themes cmon nintendo let's go nintendo do something good this year please)

FazDude · Mar 1, 2022

I'm considering doing an indie fighting game creation thread once my midterm exams are done - Would people be interested in that?
