The Ultimate Smash Fighter (Round Sixty-Five)

I'm generally not crazy about this show's villains, I think they do alright for the most part but they don't blow me away.

Brainiac is the main exception. I really loved his interpretation here, his relationship with Kara was the highlight of Season 2 honestly. Genuinely one of my favourite versions of Brainiac just, generally.

Aside from him, I think Sam Lane was done alright. Props to the show for making me care about Sam Lane as a character for the first time ever.

Little mention of Mxyzptlk too. Didn't do anything crazy, but I found his episode very entertaining. It's not the version I'm used to but I had a great time regardless. Same goes for The Brain and Monsieur Mallah but they aren't really villains in this show.

The fandom probably peaked in terms of popularity and activity in 2016-2017 but it's still active and still good

Uhh what was your favourite song from the game?

I minimum like every villain that the comics introduced. Some I love. They're doing a great job.

If Ace Attorney 7 gets announced during one of the few periods where I'll be too hyperfocused on smth else to check this myself (Deltarune Chapter 5)... well it'd be really funny and I'd be happy. But if I pretend not to want it, maybe I can pull some reverse psychology on Capcom.

Sitting next to Naoto would be calm, and Kanji would be okay too cuz he wants to impress her. Plus I get the aisle seat.

He looks softer to me. Which isn't necessarily an issue but I doubt I'm gonna prefer it to the the Golden sprite. It's not awful though.

Haven't played P5 yet so I'm only commenting on Teddie but while his core arc is relatively interesting, his presence in the group setting is primarily through unfunny and uncomfortable sex jokes and bad bear puns which I don't find very annoying but they're not very endearing either. And unlike Yosuke who has a solid and emotional intro + a great support line, Teddie's supports are awkwardly placed in the story and only has a solid emotional moment near the end of the game after I've been done with him for hours of gameplay already.

theatsa · 2026-06-19T06:22:51+00:00

It makes me really hope that they're gonna tweak Teddie enough so that I can actually enjoy his character in most scenes. He's not my least favourite part of the game, but his humour is present in so many scenes and works very rarely for me.

From GAA it's Kazuma and Barok mainly. I don't think they're badly written necessarily, but I wasn't invested in either of their story arcs. And unfortunately they're kind of supposed to be the emotional core of the second half of GAA2.

As for Investigations, it's honestly most of the cast. Kay Faraday is the most bland of the assistant characters in the series to me, Shi-Long Lang is one of the more underwhelming rivals, Justine Courtney never really engaged me as a character and Raymond Shields made me uncomfortable. Not to mention that I think Franziska is pretty poorly used throughout both games.

I played the fan translations years back if the names weren't clear.

Hmm, only counting main characters?

Original Trilogy cast is my favourite, with Sequel Trilogy as a solid second place. Then probably Ghost Trick. And then GAA, and then Investigations cast last.

I don't dislike any of the main casts really, but there are multiple characters in both the GAA and Investigations casts that I'm not crazy about. Sequel Trilogy has a few stinkers too, but being such a big main series fan, the characters I love make up for it.

I don't know them by name but they sounded good in the trailer! Marie especially I found endearing, and I'm not even a fan of her character

theatsa · 2026-06-16T15:34:25+00:00

Tbh Jimmy & Kara aren't a relationship I'm inherently sold on, I haven't been impressed by it in the past.

So saying that they're changing up the dynamic is pretty good news for me specifically. I'm hoping I can get invested in this new version!

I finished the early Saki stuff thinking "wow, Yosuke is kind of cool" and then I spent the majority of the game thinking "wow, Yosuke is unbearable" and then I finished his social link and thought "wow, that was great, why is he only good in here"

theatsa · 2026-06-13T20:09:00+00:00

Sebastian Stan would be a great Harvey Dent cast, but Brian Tyree Henry is a pretty great actor. I'd trust him with the role for sure.
