There are no societal expectations holding players back. My point is about discourse on the internet compared to a real life person. That’s another lesson I don’t think people are ready for . ” meaning in media can not exist without intent.” So one of my worthless degrees in in literature (not a great idea folks, that’s why I married a doc).

The Goose fits the format better than many of Smash's more realistic fighters, and would fit right in with, for example, Mr. Game and Watch. BUT even if Mr. Popo was intentionally designed with black face in mind, I see it as them using black face for a creative choice & not for anything nefarious in some attempt to insult and belittle black people.

Yes, in some cases i guess you could say that, but in many other cases we see that they are people. It’s led to some awkward censoring in anime before (Mr. Popo getting turned blue in Dragon Ball comes to mind). One has no evidence of occurring and the other does.

Ever since that day, Jak fell in love with games and the progression of the technology industry in all its forms. Reddit user Evilsnowcookie posted a mockup move list, and it's glorious. So yes, I do think that ignoring that history and using racial iconography is something that I would avoid as a content creator and I would understand people wanting to not see that, whereas I would be less inclined to worry about portrayals of violence. Polygon already wrote an article reviewing these lovely works of art, and it's certainly a rabbit hole to go down. All Nintendo has to do remove or change it.

Let them do what they want! It didn’t seem like ssf appreciated our conservative comments in the comments section of his article about the N joining Gay Pride. There are far more racist things in the news everyday. His down tilt got nerfed imo because it has no range and you can't use it to edge guard anymore. I would love to play all of you in smash. So I guess we need to stop making Mario games.

I know that is happening. It’s coming from the same place that the Pokemon Jynx is. Ultimate.

That new f-air messed me up at first but it seems to be pretty fun once I got a hang of it, nair works really well as an approach, and it autocancels early if you fastfall and combos nicely into ftilt/fsmash.

I miss old d tilt and up air as well, especially their wind hitboxes.
