Love to hear the tinkle of brass while these weirdpistols eject nothing
oh, is this here the Smash hating club now
I hate Smash too
then I plug in a gamecube controller and the serotonins kick in
I love Smash, but only with friends and other people who don’t give a shit. So I don’t love Smash right now.

I actually quite like ultimate after tuning out of smash pretty much since people I knew in high school started going to melee tournaments 15 years earlier – it felt for a long time like they were dicking around unable to justify the nostalgia play, and the netcode is still baffling, but it feels like they’ve built it back up to something that’s genuinely eclectic, I love that it lets you do 8 players even though it’s pretty bad with more than 6, and it’s still got that good Mario Kart balance of not quite trying to be fair so that people who don’t know what they’re doing can have fun.
feeling pressured to buy the DLC when the value proposition is so obviously a fraction of the rest of the package is silly though

i am sorry that all of my video game opinions eventually reveal themselves to be based on entirely irrational biases that stem from growing up in a bizarre suburban wasteland. but i have felt weird about the particular type of serotonin rush Smash generates because my main experiences with the gamecube version are all from one summer that i played it intensely with a HS friend of mine, and this couple of ravers who worked at a jamba juice with said friend’s little sister. the jamba juice duo had like semi permanent swiss cheese brain from rave drugs and it just felt like the closest video games could get to replicating that specific kind of mental degradation. i just don’t trust it

When Kirby steals a power with a distinctive sound sometimes he makes the sound himself with his mouth.

I don’t trust smash brothers anymore either, but it’s got terry bogard so it can’t be all bad
remember the n64 days when smash was a cute party game about toys with an aesthetic that actually made sense? like I love melee too, but this series sure ended up in a real weird place after it accidentally became the most mechanically demanding fighting game on the planet

Smash rules as long as you ignore all that mess

I’ve generally felt… repulsed in a “driven back” rather than “disgusted” way by SSB despite only playing maybe an hour of it in my life. I think between these games and Kingdom Hearts it was the first time I felt something was so fanfic-y that rather than be drawn to these characters I have liked I felt so pandered to that I wanted nothing to do with it.

I’m sure someone could write a whole thing about how the switch from stuffed animal toys that came to life in the n64 version to trophies that came to life in melee was indicative of the attitude nintendo was taking toward its own past and it would manifest in the rest of the smash games for the worse
like we went from a magic hand bringing toys to life to trophies being brought to life in an empty coliseum to trophies being brought to life in a floating pokemon-esque arena filled with fans and…other nintendo characters who were also trophies brought to life?
i’m not that someone, i’m just saying someone could

At my sister’s house today, I picked up my nephew’s Switch Lite – I will admit, that’s a console that feels good in my hands.
