This whole Byleth situation is just a mess at this point. Don’t feel like going over it (cause we all know it), but it’s times like this I wish I can just Thanos snap the Smash community. I’m hating the toxic feeling the Smash community has felt like for awhile now. We’ve gotten so many characters, stages, music tracks, and more, yet it feels like people are just becoming greedy.

I loved Smash speculation (especially the Smash 4 days), but now it’s just starting to feel tiring. All theses fan rules that people are treating as fact is the worst of it. And while I get why some dislike leaks, the amount of anger and threats towards prominent leakers is sad to watch. I forget where I heard this, but I remember hearing someone say one of Sabi’s (a leakers) contacts asked her, “Why are you doing this? This isn’t fun, its torture.” Or something along those lines.

For my prediction of the next six characters, I think I’m just gonna say screw it to fan rules, and only follow officially laid out rules. Waiting for the next line of characters is gonna feel like torture (especially if they go the route of only 3 a year), but I’m hoping the long away deadline is so Sakurai can give himself some breaks from development. He straight up deserves it.

And I guess since I’ve gotten back in the mood to work on my massive Smash poll, I’ll ask all of you here who your most wanted Smash character is. Just one character please, and the only rule is no characters that are already playable (this includes full alternate costumes like the Koopalings and Erdrick, but not Sans and Cuphead they’re still fair game).
