That arm gets temporarily powered up to the scaly version after she throws an opponent.

It's the same in Arms. Her arm only turns dragon when she's powered up so it's accurate in Smash.

Kunio would be pretty interesting just to see Sakurai’s 3D take on that classic sprite. I’m confident he’d do like he did with Mega Man and the Belmonts.

Billy and Jimmy are right behind Kunio and Riki on my Smash wishlist. I went with Kunio because his sports titles give him a bit more variety compared to the straightforward fight-men we already have in-game, and his moveset was a bit more interesting to come up with as a result.

Kunio-kun's SD proportions would be fun to see, it would be lame if they went with his more realistic design from the like 4 games where he's not using Big Head mode.

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take
---------------------------->
At this point my impressions of Min Min, having played both as her and against her, is that she is unfortunately not very good. She has a lot of the same problems that Little Mac has, namely that she has a poor recovery and not great (but not as bad) aerials. She is frequently reduced to only having a few possible mixups and, ironically considering her range, she is both easily camped and relatively easy for the high tier aggressive fighters to approach.

Still fun, but I wouldn't expect to see her too much competitively outside of some insane Japanese Min Min God

Kunio would better from a history standpoint as well but the Lee bros would be better for the west. They could at least include music from both series if either got in.

Let'en my post flyen true
Ridley's Skewer does 6% more on hit (for a total of 69%, nice), but:

https://twitter.com/butols_buto/status/1277780281466875904?s=20

It was a successful hit, you can see Mario took the full damage, but he didn't crumple. This seems to consistently happen straight out of dthrow, which was never a true setup anyway, but was a halfway decent mix-up that could catch an opponent mashing airdodge or attack. It may just be a glitch, but I think the damage buff is supposed to be a trade off for this, which isn't worth it at all because now Ridley's Skewer, which takes half a second to come out, is unsafe on hit.

So, that's pretty annoying. I'm glad for all the characters that got buffs (they may have went a little ham on Falco imo), but both of my characters got band-aid buffs and one got a huge stealth nerf, which leaves me a little bitter. Here's hoping it really is a glitch and it'll be fixed along with Min Min's persistent long arms in the kill screen in patch 8.x.0.

Maybe I'll pick up Meta Knight, he was always fun.

Very nice!

I've been thinking of Kunio-kun lately, too. Ever since Sakurai mentioned how they had Horikawa (vegeta) do voice work for Captain Falcon in the Min Min trailer, and how that's the first time they had him record for Smash since 64, i've been wondering if maybe Horikawa was already there doing voice work for an upcoming character, and Kunio-kun is one of his few video game roles.

Dedede buffs feel great. Uair and Fair kill much more easily, uptilt is basically Mario upsmash now, and downtilt sends at a super low angle which makes it even better at ledge. Dedede's biggest weakness was every move launching super far but not killing, and having more reliable kill options really helps with that.

The couple that come to mind are:

1) Someone made some NFSW art of two prominent female smashers. I haven't seen the art myself.
2) A video from 2014 was found where ESAM says the N-word 13 times across something like four Smash 4 wifi matches, along with one homosexual slur.
3) The Jtails thing that Dabir posted.
4) People are asking for CaptainZack to be unbanned from events. He initially received a one-year ban for bracket manipulation.

Zack received a five-year ban, which is why people are saying to unban him now.

This seems to be because skewer is now treated as a grab and thus can't land just after you throw an opponent. This may or may not be intentional.

If it's a grab does that mean it beats shields now, or is it a pseudo grab like buster wolf or fishing rod?

6 years ago there was a chant that included the hard r. He said it a number of times when talking about how he didn't like it and it got clipped to make it look like he was going on some racist rant. He apologized for it last year apparently but it's getting brought up again due to everything surfacing.

He also dropped a gay slur in the same clip so ymmv

yeah, absolutely this. these are not new issues. they're just being treated more seriously and given more attention now. people feel more safe coming forward because their abusers will be (likely) held accountable instead of the victims being forced out of the community.
