I miss smash bros speculation
2018-2021 was a magical time when people would talk about their favorite video game characters and anything was possible, even moreso than the Super Smash Bros. for prerelease-release-DLC hype cycle. people kept watching their made up rules get disproven and by the end of it nobody knew how to predict anything anymore
there's something I find charming about the category of characters that are like. notably popular ideas for smash bros characters completely divorced from their popularity as characters in any other context. like how a lot of people somehow convinced themselves that Geno from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (1996) is an "obvious" choice for a smash bros character even though he's not even the most popular character from the mario rpgs
