Steve feels weird and cumbersome to play to me, but yet somehow I still cranked out my second highest Classic Mode score with him first try. Huh...

I just played for the first time since January and holy crap have they added a ton of spirits. Also I'd forgotten how damn fun the Spirit Board is.
Same!!! Event matches was a game mode I super loved in older Smash Bros. games, and Spirit Board is like, what if every Event Match is themed, and also there's 3 billion of them.
Get ready to see if anyone guessed right on our Smash poll!
It's Doom Guy's time to shine!

People on Twitter are thinking it might be the Fortnite crew giving all the other cross promotional stuff going related to Fortnite like Master Chief and Kratos coming to Fortnite, but I don’t see it. Trying to think of what their thing would be. Building? We just got Minecraft Steve, do we really need that crossed with Solid Snake?
Please don’t be the Fortnite crew...

I would be disappointed by Fortnite. But, looking back at all the DLC, the only character I was genuinely excited for when it was announced was Banjo Kazooie. I think that all of the characters that I want to be in the game are already in the game, and now they're adding characters to the roster to make other folks happy. And, like, that's ok. I think it's better to assume that it'll be a character I've never heard of, and if it ends up being someone from a game I've played that'll be a nice surprise.
I do t think anyone’s made the graduation from Assist to Playable Character (unless you count Mii Costumes), but I’m still expecting Shantae and Shovel Knight at some point.
Or Goku; can’t ever rule him out

Split the difference;
Playable Alm, but he plays like Goku
Or Goku but he fights like Marth.
You know, whichever

Like I was saying in the Fire Emblem thread, STEAMPUNK CENTAURS!
If I had to make a bet on this particular announcement, and its particular audience, I would guess Doom Guy. Fortnite, unfortunately, also seems likely in my head.
Of course, the last time they did an announcement here, it was anime teen, so I would honestly believe Sora, too. Like Doom Whatevertheheck, we just saw a Kingdom Hearts Switch game drop, so I feel it's more likely than usual.
And, more than anything, I want this to be a trailer styled after the K Rool/Banjo "fake" template. I want to see part three in that trilogy!

I've been hoping to see that for, like, Dixie.
Or maybe Pauline.

I wouldn’t even mind if it’s a Fortnite; Honestly, as long as it’s not something I have active disdain for, it’s fine.
Also, giving it a moments thought, a Fortnite would probably be a lot of fun in Smash. More so than in Fortnite!

What potential Smash guest stars does Octopus Prime disdain? I demand answers!
Yes. All Dooms except 3 are on Switch, in fact: 1, 2, 64, 2016, and Eternal.

3 is on my Switch right now, man. I haven’t played it, but it’s there.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a nominee for GOTY and the game has been huge for Nintendo, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a new Animal Crossing fighter of some sort.
That said, if we were sticking to new characters from New Horizons and not just going the boring predictable route by graduating Tom Nook or K.K. Slider* to playable, I don't really know who they would add. Flick and/or C.J.? The Dodo Airlines boys? Daisy Mae?
Like, personally I would be all for Audie and Raymond pulling an Ice Climbers deal and having some other wolves and cats as alternate skins (or even just Raymond), but we can't even seem to get animal villagers that aren't special characters into stage backgrounds.
* I mean, I would also not be opposed to Real Actual Playable Not a Mii Suit K.K. Slider, but if they add a new Animal Crossing fighter I'd want someone that debuted in the new game.

Dunno how I overlooked that.

LET'S UPDATE SOME SHIT I WROTE BACK IN SEPTEMBER!!
There are many good and cool characters you could guess for the next fighter. Who should get in is a question with literally thousands of right answers AND 6 WRONG ONES!
Who might those 6 wrong answers be? I'M GLAD YOU ASKED!!!
"Hey wait a second," I can hear you thinking with my terrifyingly powerful and previously undisclosed psychic abilities. "The top of this post says 6, but that blocky asshole from Minecraft no longer counts, leaving us with just 5 viable wrong answers! What gives, BEAT?" Patience friends! there is indeed a 6th pick, and I saved the very best for last.
URBOSA (OR ANYONE FROM NINTENDO)
Yeah, I fucking went there. Nintendo always had shades of being a total asshole that we've all tried to politely ignore since, like Disney before them, they kinda raised us when we were kids. They'd shut down ROM sites then to turn around and use ROMs downloaded from those sites in the NES classic. We'd say "I'm sure that was just a developer oversight". They'd try to claim all ad revenue from any youtube video featuring one of their games. We'd say "Well technically the youtuber was using their intellectual property." They'd openly attack any and all fangame projects. We'd say "Well maybe that means they're gonna make a new Metroid!" But the past few weeks have been especially rough, with their one-two punch of shutting down Melee tournaments by claiming that any netplay mod HAS to rely on illegal copies (a proven lie), and their ongoing attempt to rip all the music from their games off of the internet. This isn't just bad community management. This is willful malice towards their biggest fans, and all the ass-kissing posts in the world about how "they have to protect their copyrights" or "why would anyone still be playing Melee" won't make it less preformative, petty and cruel. Fuck Nintendo.
Well, that about covers it! See you all tonight when we find out that I was right again!

Overwatch is still kinda popular, but its star has definitely faded as of late. The inclusion of the franchise's de-facto mascot in the biggest crossover game in town is the sort of advertising opportunity Blizzard would probably sacrifice an entire team of overworked and underpaid devs on the altar of moloch for, especially since they're probably gearing up for a big Overwatch 2 marketing push after they announced it way too early in an attempt to distract from how badly they fucked over the guy that said "free Hong Kong" So have they done anything to earn our forgiveness since December? Should we be willing to welcome tracer with open arms this time around? NOPE! Not even a little bit! Fuck Blizzard.
You know, somehow, when I wrote the above denunciation, I totally blanked on how Ubisoft used Black Lives Matter iconography for their fictional TERRORIST GROUP for their bullshit mobile game. That all happened well before I wrote all that shit back on Sept 30! I was fully aware of it! I should have mentioned it! What the fuck, past me?!? Fuck Ubisoft.
GOGDAMMIT I MADE MYSELF MAD AGAIN. Fuck Notch.
Fortnight is still having a shitfit with Apple and Google over the terms of service it very obviously and blatantly broke, still targeting children with propaganda in an attempt to better their odds, still doing everything it can to avoid paying the choreographers of the dances it ripped off for emotes, still crunching its workers to death, and still operating as the single most successful "live service" game using every psychological trick in the book to bleed dollars from it's players, stopping just short of telling them that their parents won't mind THAT much if you steal their credit cards. Also I'm still not convinced the game actually HAS characters, so that too. Fuck Epic Games.
Everything quoted is still 100,000% true, and more than enough to make me tell the house of mouse to take a long walk off a short pier, but I also wanna link to Xiran Jay Zhao's glorious curb stomping of Mulan (2020), just in case you haven't seen it. It's entertaining, educational, and a great takedown of everything wrong with Disney's recent remakes, and the company as a whole. Fuck Disney.
You guys read about the Catherine remake? That shit was WILD...ly sexist, transphobic, and just depressing on the whole. No idea why I didn't mention it last time. as I really should have. My bad guys. Fuck Atlus.
