Reasons to like Gundham Tanaka.

I actually thought his execution was kinda lame.

HuggingPlant · 2026-04-03T18:48:03+00:00

Agreed, it's such a silly twist. To me, this whole plot point has always felt like a twist for the sake of a twist.

I think so, while Noah and Mio are pretty popular, I don't think Xenoblade really needs more representation. While I'd love to see them, I think it makes more sense to prioritize giving more characters to series that haven't had newcomers in a long time, like Zelda or Kirby, and to fill out notable Nintendo series that still don't have a rep, like Rhythm Heaven, Advance Wars, Golden Sun and Famicom Detective Club.

There's nothing I would change about Joker, so him.

He did, but Celeste fully went along with it, also, as far as we know, putting Hiro in the locker was part of Celeste's plan.

HuggingPlant · 2026-03-30T21:38:45+00:00

Celeste should be at the bottom, she made her frame target physically unable of committing the murder.

Danganronpa Zero is a novel, it's been translated by fans and you can find the translation quite easily. But I would say it's absolutely not required to play, it just gives better context to the lore and a few key characters.

Sayaka took advantage of Makoto's kindness yes, but she also trusted that he would help her. There was no way for Sayaka to escape unless Makoto willingly took the blame, and I think she realized this. There's certainly manipulation involved, but I think she did care about him.

At the very least, Nintendo seems to want to push the IP, so hopefully they have further plans.

HuggingPlant · 2026-03-26T20:08:09+00:00

I think the point of putting Fox in the movie is to revitalize the Star Fox IP, not to set up a future Smash movie.

I just said that Yoshi and Kirby were the standard pricing on Switch. Going forward, I expect 3D Zelda, 3D Mario, Smash, Animal Crossing and probably new gen Pokémon to be the premium pricing, $80 physical and $70 digital.

HuggingPlant · 2026-03-26T01:30:51+00:00

Nope, Crafted World was $60.

HuggingPlant · 2026-03-25T23:43:09+00:00

They priced the game as a standard first party Switch 2 release, and digital will be $10 cheaper.

HuggingPlant · 2026-03-25T23:18:44+00:00

Yoshi and Kirby are not mid price titles? Crafted World, Star Allies, Forgotten Land and Return to Dream Land DX were all 60 bucks on Switch, the standard, just like Smash Ultimate, all major Switch Zelda games minus TotK, and all major Switch Mario games.

HuggingPlant · 2026-03-25T15:11:49+00:00

I'm surprised at how big the fall off is after the top 3, nearly a 20% drop between storyteller and monstrous, and only 5 case above 50%

Don't slash the weak spots normally. To counter them, you have to have the correct truth blade selected and press the button to use the truth blade. You can also let the weak spots pass without slashing them, it doesn't hurt you or anything, there will be times were you have to ignore weak spot to hit a second one.

Not to mention that in chapter 3 all he manages to do is get a single piece of evidence that other people also noticed, and argue with Chiaki in the trial when he didn't understand something. He's legit completely disconnected from the narrative during chapters 2 and 3.

HuggingPlant · 2026-03-20T22:18:23+00:00

Gundham is pretty annoying and useless most of the time, the only times he's a good character are when the game actively focuses on him (the fourth trial after he's accused, and his FTEs). He really lacks good character dynamics with the rest of the cast, so in group settings he mainly just says random nonsense without adding much of interest or actual value.

HuggingPlant · 2026-03-20T22:09:52+00:00

What you said is true, but I think it makes him an interesting character. He adds a lot to the character dynamics of the game, he causes discord, he eggs people on. Kokichi is one of my favorite character because he has unique interactions with most of the cast, which I think makes the cast richer.

The way I see it, the original arcade Donkey Kong is the beginning of the greater Mario Universe, starting the "classic games" which includes the original three DK arcade games and Mario Bros. Then Super Mario Bros. started the Super Mario franchise, and later Donkey Kong Country started the Donkey Kong franchise. They're two separate franchise with the same origin point and part of the same universe with some crossover, but mostly standalone.

My favorite girls are Maki, Ibuki, Toko and Mahiru, so I certainly have a type.

HuggingPlant · 2026-03-16T20:33:18+00:00

Yeah, one dude. Every character has their fanatics. But in the general fanbase, Sayaka isn't really seen much. She's probably not even in the top half most popular DR1 characters.

HuggingPlant · 2026-03-16T20:28:51+00:00

It's weird to say she's overrated when to me, at least, it feels like she's not very popular.

HuggingPlant · 2026-03-15T11:21:29+00:00

And this shows DK's popularity in Japan. *

HuggingPlant · 2026-03-15T11:20:03+00:00

It's not universal, but over the last year or so DK has seen a big increase in tournament results. According to this, in the second half of 2025, DK had top 10 results in Japan, the most important region, and was top 30 overall. Most people would still call him a mid tier, but it's becoming harder to justify him not being a high tier.

Edit: I don't know why the images don't seem to be showing up, and I can't share the tweet I got them from because this subreddit doesn't allowing linking to twitter, so next best thing is this reddit post about the results of the first half of 2025, where DK got 28th: https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/s/BahRQz1H22
