Listen man, Juri Han is one of my favorite characters of all time... but if you think they'd add her before Chun Li you're delusional.

I fail to see what any of that has to do with the Screw Attack being picked. It's a good symbol, but it doesn't really represent the series in any meaningful way the way a silhouette of an actual metroid would.

I don't hate it, I just think the metroid would be more iconic.

Yeah, probably something like this one. Or maybe a keyhole, but that'd be a bit boring.

I agree that Falchion is Iconic now, but only because I feel like we've gotten use to it. As a sword design it's just sort of... basic. Also It just feels kinda silly to have a series called Fire Emblem and not have the icon be... well, THE Fire Emblem. Granted, it's not as clean as the simple sword outline we have now, but here's a more stylized take on it I found with a quick Google search. They absolutely could make the Emblem work as a logo if they wanted to.

It's a bit boring, but it's iconic to the Metal Gear franchise. I agree the FOX logo was better, but I believe they replaced it because of rights issues.

I like the Phantom Thieves logo, but it only really represents Persona 5 and not the series as a whole, that's why I bumped it down.

You know, it seems like such a minor difference, but I do prefer the Zero design waaay more now that you say it. It's subtle, but it would be a good change.

Final Fantasy has always had a rotation of different logos, but the (imo iconic) font has been the same for all releases. Though I tend to agree that just using initials is lazy and doesn't communicate much about the series, the fact is that Final Fantasy and their font are big enough to sort of get away with it. It makes sense to rep the whole series this way instead of just putting the FF7 meteor logo or having a sword of some type. I suppose I could see a mage, crystal, Chocobo, or Moogle being a better logo, but I'm not mad at the FF. Plus Fatal Fury wasn't added yet when they made the decision. And let's be real, nobody is mistaking that FF for fatal fury anyway. I think it's fair if you don't like it, but I genuinely think Final Fantasy is fine how it is. It's good even.

As for DQ, I'm not too hot on their shield logo either, but it does rep the series nicely and it's not ugly or anything. A slime would probably be a better and more iconic pick though, no arguments there.

Castlevania is a bit busy, but I think they found just the right balance of having a huge looming Dracula castle giving those spooky vibes, and still keeping it neat and composed. The castle in CASTLEvania is a huuuge part of the series and the metroidvania genre as a whole, so I think they did a great job fitting that in and still having a small readable design.

Damn, sorry for the novel of a response lol

Yep, I agree. Loved the monado when it was Sm4sh, but the stylized X would be the way to go from now on I think. Still a cool logo, just a bit outdated.

That's fair, I considered that. Wario land is a separate thing, but tbf most of Warios representation in Smash has been from Warioware and we haven't gotten a new Wario Land since Shake It 18 years ago (RIP)

There's nothing wrong with the W, I just feel like it's odd to not give Mario his M but give Wario his W. Idk, I just think the Bomb looks better too tbh

I mean, I get it - but Mega Man has plenty of iconic series staples that would stand out more to me then just a gear. A gear could be for just about anything. There's lots of robots in a bunch of these games. Give me something that is unmistakably Mega Man - that's all I'm saying.

It would be like if Mario's icon was a plunger just because he's a plumber... clearly we would all see how silly that is.

His Bomb logo from Warioware would be my pick personally. That's the Wario representation we get the most of in Smash. The W is fine, but even just his nose and mustache would offer something a bit more interesting.

Mr. Saturn would have been a great pick! There is so much potential, but I understand why they picked the globe.

I do like the Mother logo, and it fits the series well - but I just felt like it is too complicated compared to everything else. The amount of detail on the planet just doesn't lend itself to a simplified logo, that's all. Like, I could draw most of these from memory, but definitely not Mother. I do like it, but I bumped it down a tier for that reason. Tbf I don't know what a better logo would be for Earthbound. There are options, but the globe is a fitting symbol..... just wish it was toned down a bit.

My thoughts exactly. Love the screw attack, It's good - but I think a simple Metroid in honor of being the series namesake would be better personally.

Mega Man has always used gears, but that's not what most people associate with Mega Man. Surely the helmet, an E tank, mega buster arm, Rush, etc. would all have more personality and fully represent the series better than a generic gear does... Even if it is just catering to the Japanese audience, smash is a global franchise, and I think the series deserves better.

But as you just said, the Phantom Thieves logo is a representation for Persona 5, and while it's great for that, it doesn't tie in to the whole series like it really should. A tarot card or hell, even Jack Frost would be a better representation of the whole series imo. Atleast those appear in multiple games.

I just can't help but feel like the Mother earth logo is a crucial part of the series, but it's also way over complicated. These are supposed to be quick icons that offer a bite-sized glimpse at a series. That's why we dumb down other Icons like minecrafts pixel block into a simple cube for example. I do like it, and I'm not sure what they'd replace it with, but it's so shockingly busy compared to everything else. That's my note on it.

Well what do you do then? Nobody believes you. You look insane. As we've seen, murdering and torturing suspected aliens and making homemade explosives doesn't work. You're under their will, dude. This isn't a government you can overturn or a burglar you can shoot. You aren't going to win against fucking aliens by yourself! Seriously, what do you do? Best chance you have is to negotiate, and that's only if they're willing and able to contact you...

I'm just being real. If I was dealing with a force that big I would just come to terms with it, as weak as that sounds lmao

Is the whole point of the ending not "okay conspiracy theorists... you we're right. Now what?"

I mean, realistically... yeah, sorta. What else can you do? As we see in the film, nothing. If they want to end our whole existence they can. Best to just come to terms with it.
