The new additions to the roster are insane when they're all laid out like that. It's easy to take this game for granted.

Nothing's been said about that. Mobile game is coming to Japan next year and it seems to be a gacha with battle chips.
I'm an optimist.

Besides, I wouldn't actually be bummed if I'm wrong. I have most of these games easily accessible and can play them anytime. Didn't alway play both version. Think 4 and 5 were the only ones i actually got to play both.

Maybe we're getting FP #5 next week with a tourney heh
We're too far gone now. We had the good times:
  • Tourney - Heroes Vs. Villains (Hero Promotion)
  • Spirit Board - Step on the Gas!
  • Tourney - Original Class of '64
  • Spirit Board - Change Your Fate!
  • Tourney - The Ultimate Partnership (Banjo & Kazooie Promotion)
  • Spirit Board - Experience before Youth!
  • Tourney - The Next Big Super Star
  • Spirit Board - Arsenals at the Ready! DAEMON X MACHINA
  • Tourney - Battle for Spirit Supremacy
  • Spirit Board - Autumn Snackfest!
  • Tourney - Hefty Heavyweights
  • Spirit Board - Attack of the Tetriminos!
Then the Terry reshuffle happened:
  • Spirit Board - Smash by the Sword
  • Tourney - Mano a Mano (Terry Promotion)
After that, Pokemon got us back on track:
  • Tourney - Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield!
  • Spirit Board - New Galar Region Pokémon Discovered!
Then Resident Evil ruined everything:
  • Spirit Board - Oust Resident Evil!
  • Spirit Board - 1st Anniversary!

I like Banjo but damn does his up tilt need its hitbox extended horizontally. It's already worse than snakes in speed and kill power. Just let him hit everyone with it.

m-maybe they'll fix our spirit/tourney situation by giving us two Tourneys in a row, because Amaterasu is releasing a week after The Game Awards!

My opinion on Piranha Plant kinda soured as time went on. At first, I was fine with it being the obligatory WTF pick. But when the current problems with the roster regarding gender & ethnic diversity became worse with each reveal, it made me wonder what it'd be like if we got someone like Urbosa instead.

I've said this before but Plant was a cool reveal but they've never felt like more than a novelty to me. I don't hate their inclusion but i'm pretty apathetic towards them.

I think before Terry, Piranha Plant was my most used character. He's unique, but rather straight forward in what makes him unique, which I like. I do think the Mario series didn't need to become more lopsided before.

How did Piranha Plant soured you and not Incineroar.

Piranha Plant is something Smash also really needs. A non-humanlike creature.

PP kinda feels like to me Sakurai going "well, I want another wacky surprise character in the vein of Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B. or Duck Hunt, but I can't think of another suitable retro rep that wouldn't feel forced, so this time I'm just gonna make a mook playable"

It's kinda funny but yeah
