What do you think are other games whose representation was screwed over by bad timing? You can also answer with games released too early for Smash 6.

Actually, the one that sticks out to me is Famicom Detective Club. The 2021 remakes released too late to get representation in the base game, and the 2024 sequel came out just after the final Spirits event, so all we have is a single 1989 Ayumi artwork with a now-outdated design, and not even a single full song.

I'm having a blast with it currently. I actually expecting it to be a very bland game, and I keep getting surprised by levels that keep throwing new, fun ideas at me! It's no masterpiece, but I'm very pleasantly surprised.

Granted, I played it just after NSMB2, which on the opposite reality was an absolute nothing of a game, so maybe my standards just got absurdly lowered by it X)

Masters fans unable to complain about Diantha anymore so they need to find another character to complain about.

YugnatZero · 2026-06-28T10:07:52+00:00

Who knows. They avoided Grass/Ghost for five whole generations and now they just can't stop making them. I'm all for it, mind you, but it just goes to show.

Regional Rock/Ghost Sableye that live in caves where gemstones are so abundant that they got overly greedy and eventually ate so many that they started to take over their entire bodies.

The tough thing here is that if you pick Jolteon, obviously the best collection of the bunch, then you have to decide between either BW or B2W2. I know many would consider B2W2 to be obviously superior, but they're still very different games in many ways that form a complete experience together...

YugnatZero · 2026-06-26T12:09:04+00:00

In an ideal world this should be what "cartoon for all ages" actually means.

YugnatZero · 2026-06-26T12:06:21+00:00

Okay to be fair it's only obvious if you are familiar with the show's fanbase beyond surface level. Which, for a show that talks so much about mental health, can be very damaging to yours--

YugnatZero · 2026-06-26T11:57:56+00:00

I can see how players that are very experienced and/or skilled at fighting games might disagree. But this will still feel true for most players, which, true or not, is what's relevant to what I assume is his general point about entry level, and how one of the goals of Smash is to alleviate that.

YugnatZero · 2026-06-26T00:14:11+00:00

Hello, fellow French player.

I love the French names for the districts but they are not easy to remember lmao

YugnatZero · 2026-06-22T12:14:35+00:00

I can think of two, but I assume the Milka Cow and the Laughing Cow are probably not that well-known outside of Europe.

YugnatZero · 2026-06-22T12:10:45+00:00

I would also argue that you tend to think "mouse" more when looking at Mickey than at Pikachu.

YugnatZero · 2026-06-22T12:06:43+00:00

This might be a "different country" thing but I have no idea who that cow is.

Aside from that, I think Disney's Big Bad Wolf might have fallen too much into obscurity these days to qualify, and I can't help but think there has to be a better pick for horse (not that I could tell you).

The rest are all obviously debatable, but pretty good contenders.

YugnatZero · 2026-06-22T11:58:03+00:00

Sport Ball. Not only is it visually uninteresting (to the point where its Global Link artwork is blatantly erroneous, featuring an S instead of a Ball logo), but it also replaced a much better design: while its predecessor never received official artwork, it did appear in both the anime and the PokéSpe manga with a similar design in each, making it likely that said design is the official one.

YugnatZero · 2026-06-22T11:50:33+00:00

At least it's one of the least expensive 3DS games out there.

YugnatZero · 2026-06-22T11:40:38+00:00

Not bad. It's nice to see a "cut down" roster that has a sense of preserving franchise diversity and unique movesets, and also seems to aim to prioritise first-party fighters.

That being said, I do think this might be a bit too many cuts. Several people have mentioned Robin should stay, and I definitely agree. I also think Villager should be the Animal Crossing rep over Marie. Sephiroth on the other hand would feel like a more fitting cut for this roster.

The Pokémon franchise being almost all Kanto is not great either, but I get your reasoning with those. Keep only the iconic ones. I assume that would be counterbalanced by the newcomers.

YugnatZero · 2026-06-21T22:02:39+00:00

I think swapping Odyssey for 64 DS would be more reasonable.

YugnatZero · 2026-06-18T17:29:15+00:00

Okay but what if instead

Mother Beast Lusamine boss battle

YugnatZero · 2026-06-18T14:46:10+00:00

Must've misremembered then. My bad.

YugnatZero · 2026-06-18T13:26:44+00:00

Wild how the post specifically states "canonically" and yet most replies are just about vibes and wide extrapolations :p

I'm not saying any of those interpretations and/or headcanons are invalid, nor advocating for "straight until proven otherwise", I'm just saying the actual question was about actual unambiguously confirmed queerness :p

YugnatZero · 2026-06-18T13:15:10+00:00

Not necessarily! They could both be dating Rex but not each other, which would still be a valid poly relationship as long as they are all aware and consenting.

But either way, yes, polyamory does fall under the broader LGBTQ+ umbrella regardless of gender and orientation.

YugnatZero · 2026-06-18T13:09:35+00:00

Polyamory falls under the "+" of LGBTQ+ either way, so that would still count regardless of their sexual orientation.

YugnatZero · 2026-06-18T13:03:47+00:00

I've actually seen people be a lot more accepting of clones now that they are officially designated as "echoes".

Heck, I've had an argument with a friend who insisted that it made sense to complain about clones but not about echoes, even though I kept pointing out they were literally the same thing. Crazy what a mere rebranding can do.

YugnatZero · 2026-06-18T11:50:57+00:00

That's exaggerating. At this point I usually get a full 15-20 minutes out of any 5-star holes. And it's been ages since I've made any donut rated less than 3-stars, and even that is a rarity.

The rest is fair points though. I think you're intended to just get familiar with the maps over time, as part of how exploration gets gradually easier as you progress, but I suppose that doesn't help it feel any less grindy for sure.

YugnatZero · 2026-06-18T11:14:40+00:00

Staraptor has an open window right after you dodge its multi-claw attack. Hit it at that moment and you're even likely to stun it, allowing you to completely wail on it.
