Had a feeling you'd like it.

That Chrom comeback from @RedShell was spectacular! Proper close there!

Room's open, but I'm eating, so will be spectating until I'm done. @LazyBoy is here though.

Haven't had dinner yet, so Smash tonight will probably be around 9:30-ish. Stamina mode tonight.

Literally have no idea what game that is...

Yeah, this is way more fun than Tetris 99. Mostly because I don't suck at SMB.

Uhhh... Care to give some examples? I feel like all of Nintendo's biggest characters are already in Smash. Fire Emblem: Three Houses is also selling the most out of any Fire Emblem game. Even more than Awakening did. Byleth is more well known than you might think.

Speaking of stages, every stage in Ultimate had to be reworked to be able to implement Steve's mechanics! That's nuts! Smash really does go all in on making a character work! Source

I'm glad the Minecraft stage takes cues from the Mario Maker stage and has multiple layouts. It's basically 4 stages in one (At least 4, not sure if there's more yet. Suppose we'll find out two days from now).

8pm then?

You know what, random dude on Era? This might be true. That's kinda funny. Hope we don't have to wait too long. I bet the Classic Mode route involves a bunch of characters associated with creation. (Villager, Mario in the builder outfit)

Not gonna lie, when my random choice never got picked last week (25% chance, my butt!), the idea crossed my mind.

The two characters before Steve were Min Min and Byleth though?

@viceview51, I'm available this Friday and Saturday if you are.

Gonna give a shout to @drahkon and @Rummy to see if you're available on Friday or Saturday for DKC 2.

I had this done last week, but I forgot to post it here... Next League Night: Tonight 8pm Room 1: @BowserBasher is host @Glen-i @BowserBasher @S.C.G @Jayesse @martinist @viceview51 (I understand you're still unsure whether you'll be available, so don't worry about showing up if you can't make it) Is Baby Rosalina the most pointless character in Mario Kart 8? No, Pink Gold Peach is, but Baby Rosalina is the most misguided! If we were going to have a younger Rosalina, it should have been the one that shows up in the storybook from Mario Galaxy. Wasted opportunity there. Anyway, mini rant over. To exemplify the lazy female baby model reuse, all the tracks will be random.

Bugger, thanks for catching that. Will fix it now.

While looking through the prediction thread, I noticed I said this over 2 years ago. I was right, it was too difficult, so they went this route.

We've got some smashing savants here! It's been a while since someone nailed it. Steve/Alex correctly predicted by: @Julius, @Vileplume2000 Way to show us old fogies! Here are the current scores: 1. @Fused King - Minus 10 points 2. @Ugh first aid - Minus 12 points 3. @Julius - Minus 14 points 4. @Glen-i @Mandalore @markderoos - Minus 17 points 5. @RedShell - Minus 18 points 6. @Jonnas @Nintendo Fan - Minus 19 points 7. @Vileplume2000 - Minus 20 points 8. @S.C.G - Minus 21 points 9. @Nicktendo - Minus 22 points 10. @Dcubed - Minus 23 points 11. @Aperson @Ashley - Minus 27 points 12. @bob - Minus 29 points

Well, I was waiting for @Vileplume2000, but seeing as he was too busy. I vote for @Sméagol. Can't quite remember specifically why, but that's OK.

Finally was able to watch the trailer. That Final Smash is hilarious! There's a lot of potential with being able to spawn in blocks, wonder if you can block off the edge with it. (Probably not, that would seem a tad broken) EDIT: The ResetEra thread perfectly exemplifies the fact that most of ResetEra are out of touch. It apparently broke Twitter when it happened. But I did find this perfect reference.

So in other words, Smash Bros nailed the look? Minecraft has always looked a bit crummy. Let's face it, we're all a bunch of old people here, but let's not show it by shouting at clouds. I'm looking forward to the Smash new character session. Those are always funny when no-one is quite used to a character.

Isn't Minecraft the best selling game of all time? If anything, Minecraft benefits less from Smash. I always mention the Smash effect of a game's sales improving because of Smash, but this time I think the reverse will happen. Kids will want in on this. Certainly not the character I would have picked. But he has that Mr. G&W rubbish animation vibe and I kinda dig that.

Holy crap, the kids I play with would absolutely freak over this. Resetera are naturally furious, which means that you're absolutely right. In a game celebrating video game history, Minecraft deserves to be in. The thing is ginormous. Gotta disagree with you somewhat @S.C.G In terms of gaming clout, only Mario and Pokémon outclass Minecraft. It's now the third biggest franchise in Smash. (First, Min Min, and now Steve. Is this Fighter's Pass going to consist solely of characters from games I don't like? Guess Crash is totes in then)

That's a lot of development time that has to be put in for one character slot, with the reduced DLC team to boot. Let's face it, Pokémon Trainer only came back because everyone had to. I'd be surprised if we ever get a "multiple characters in one fighter" ever again. And honestly, that's fine. Pokémon Trainer stands out because he's the only one who can now switch character mid-fight. It represents Pokémon style gameplay perfectly. Why dilute that? Crash Bandicoot is an interesting situation. Back before Ultimate came out, Crash was pretty much a dead franchise. You'd be laughed out of the room for suggesting he had a shot. But that miraculous revival has certainly put him in the running for this Fighter's Pass. The only thing I can see going against him is that Crash 4 isn't coming to Switch (Yet). But hey, that didn't stop Joker. And also, anything that makes PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale look even more sad is fine by me. Making fun of that trainwreck will never not be funny.
