Glen-i Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) Golly gee, guys! It's yet another Theme Night. Directly to Smash! Tonight, only characters from games that were featured in last week's Nintendo Direct will be allowed. For clarity's sake, I'm only allowing characters that are absolutely, 100%, in the game. For example, while it's very likely that Fire Emblem Engage will have quite a few of the FE Smashers in it, we only saw Marth, so only he's getting in here. (That also rules out Ganondorf, BTW. You can't be sure he's in Tears of the Kingdom.) Switch Sports showed up, so all 3 Mii Fighters are allowed, but no character based costumes, unless it's the Lloyd Irving one. And in case anyone is wondering, I've not finished Xenoblade 3 yet, so I wouldn't know if Shulk or Pyra shows up in it. Hell, even if I did, I wouldn't allow them here because that would be spoilers and the game is too new for that. So they won't be in it, no matter what. Spoiler Hyrule Castle Dream Land Saffron City Great Bay Temple Fountain of Dreams Green Greens Pokémon Stadium Figure-8 Circuit Bridge of Eldin Halberd Pokémon Stadium 2 Castle Siege Distant Planet Pirate Ship Gerudo Valley Spirit Train Dream Land GB Arena Ferox Mario Circuit Skyloft The Great Cave Offensive Coliseum Garden of Hope Guar Plains Wuhu Island Midgar Umbra Clock Tower Great Plateau Tower Moray Towers Garreg Mach Monastery Northern Cave Cloud Sea of Alrest I was more lax with the stage selection here, generally allowing for stages from a series featured in the direct to be in the pool. Although I left out stages from mainline Mario games and most of the Pokémon stages past generation 2 for no good reason. Same deal with the item selection. Format: Time, 4 minutes FS Meter: On See you at 8pm, tonight. Edited September 24, 2022 by Glen-i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Jigglypuff's "Sing, then Rest" strategy really doesn't work so well in Time, where others aren't willing to just let you get the KO, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL nope. Great matches as always some very fun times. My favourite was getting @Glen-i with Bayonetta's FS off screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowserBasher Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I'll be setting myself as a spectator for about 20-30 minutes from around 20:45 as I need to pick my sister up from work tonight, but otherwise I'll be there for a birthday smashing time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen-i Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Naturally, @BowserBasher's birthday is why there were so many Party Ball mishaps tonight. It's the only explanation. Biggest upset for me was @Ike sniping me with a Super Scope and stealing my Stylish Sora Stamina finish! Was so close! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen-i Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) It's time for a theme night, and well, it'd be downright ghoulish of me not to do an obvious spooky month theme! What a Horrible Night to Have a Smash When you think about it, Smash has quite a diverse range of horror related characters, intentional or otherwise. Whether it be a bipedal wolf man, mutant crocodiles, witches, xenomorph rip-offs, people who sold their souls to the devil, or Nintendo's answer to "Little Shop of Horrors", there's something for everyone! Of course, it all pales in comparison to gaming's one true nightmare, crafting mechanics, but they try. And I think we can all agree that it'd be downright disrespectful not to include the Belmonts tonight. There are costume restrictions tonight: Link, Young Link, Toon Link - Dark Link costumes only Steve - Zombie and Enderman only Spoiler Final Destination Fountain of Dreams Pokémon Stadium Brinstar Depths Fourside Frigate Orpheon Pokémon Stadium 2 Smashville New Pork City Shadow Moses Island Luigi's Mansion Spear Pillar Unova Pokémon League Streetpass Quest Gamer Town and City Wily Castle Midgar Dracula's Castle Northern Cave Mishima Dojo Stages are mostly ones where it's nighttime, or in a spooky, dimly lit cave. Items are quite limited this week, of note is the Poison Mushroom being the only mushroom, which doesn't leave mush room for doubt on whether you should avoid it.

Ike Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 No Dark Links? The Ashen Demon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) 20 minutes ago, Ike said: No Dark Links? The Ashen Demon? OK, the first point, I concede. I totally spaced on the Dark Link costumes. EDIT: I'll try to change the character picture, but just in case, I listed the Links in the above post. Ashen Demon (Byleth), however, is a bit more iffy. Isn't that just a nickname based on how powerful and infamous they are? They're not exactly "Evil" per say. Well, as far as a war setting like Fire Emblem can go. I feel it's more ambigious compared to the likes of Ganondorf and Ridley. You know what? It's not completely fair that I dictate it, seeing as I've not played Three Houses, so I don't have a full understanding of that situation. So I'm gonna hit up other Fire Emblem nut, @Jonnas, to be the deciding voice here. So how about it? Do you think Byleth should go into this pool of characters? And if you need to explain spoilers, then I don't mind. Just use spoiler tags. Edited October 22, 2022 by Glen-i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnas Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) For the record, I fully agree with Ike's take on Byleth as well. What I disagree with, is this blatant Luigi erasure, @Glen-i EDIT: Also, why are Incineroar and Greninja on the list? I get Mewtwo, he's a psychic genetic horror (very Resident Evil), but what are ninja-frog and tiger-wrestler in Halloween for?

You mean Luigi, the character who appeared in a ridiculous amount of genres before ever showing up in a horror inspired game? Hell, Luigi's Mansion's not even the first time he was in a starring role! He's too associated with all sorts of games to really be classed as a horror based character, even a comedic one. If there was a Gooigi costume, then there'd no question in my mind. Greninja and Incineroar are both Dark type Pokémon, which admittedly isn't the most concrete of reasons. At least Dark Pit has the whole "literal evil doppelganger" thing going on. But the thing of note is that "Dark Type" in Pokémon is an English localisation change. In the Japanese games, that type is literally called "Evil Type". A bit on the nose, but if the King of Evil is allowed, then I have to allow them two as well.
