Isn't this the dude who had a total meltdown because someone said they don't want Goku in Smash Bros?

I need to see this

Fine. Let's turn on the autism and quote this bitch.

It started with this post in the Controversial Gaming Opinions Thread

- the JRPG-genre would be in a generally healthier, vastly more successful state had Squaresoft gone with Xenogears as "Final Fantasy 7" as originally planned. But it wasn't allowed to carry that name because it was "too dark, too complicated". Had Xenogears gotten FF7's spot back then, JRPGs at large would feature way more interesting stories, less shallow anime-trite and be known globally as the genre that tells "serious stories", comparable to good literature.

- there are countless old cartoons/anime that would be reasonably successful if they got modern AAA-video game adaptations. Gargoyles, Saber Rider, Marshall Bravestarr, Captain Future, and so many more. Heck, forget the AAA-budget, there's plenty of capable indie-devs who could do these IPs justice.

- Goku belongs in Smash Bros. Ultimate, he represents "anime in gaming" and Dragon Ball has been part of video games since the NES-days. Plus he's literally THE anime-character who lives for fighting, to become the #1. The only people making up rules to exclude him from Smash are bitter anime-haters.

People disagreed, and then oh boy!

The same Sakurai that said Ridley will never be in Smash because he's too big. Yes.

He is a video game-character. Do I need to post a list of Dragon Ball-games?

"But he doesn't originate in a video game!11" - So?

Do they have dozens of video games from the first generation of Nintendo-consoles onwards? Are they THE most popular, impactful franchise of their medium?

You anti-Goku people really are grasping at straws to keep him out. Reality is: Goku has long since been a video game-character and he'd fit into Smash Bros. like no other.

Batman doesn't represent comic-books and has no intimate history with Nintendo consoles.

No, he doesn't.

Ask comic book-fans who repesents comic-books and you'll hear Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, X-Men, Ironman and countless other characters.

ask anime-fans who respresents anime and outside of lunatic One Piece-fans, the answer will be Son Goku.

Now compare the amount of Batman-games with the number of Dragon Ball-games. Your welcome.

Ask anime fans who represents anime and you'll hear Goku, Luffy, Naruto, Guts, Sailor Moon and countless other characters.

ask comic fans who represents comic books and outside of lunatic Spider-Man fans, the answer will be Batman.

Batman has a long and storied history with Nintendo consoles, with there being a Batman game released on every major piece of Nintendo hardware with the sole exception of the virtual boy (which has no Dragon Ball games either).

Okay, I'll consider this part of the "controversial", otherwise I'd be getting angry now. You know full well I'm right and you're wrong, but you just keep talking back, because somehow Goku in Smash is sooooo bad that it must be prevented. Not a fun way to debate. I hope Goku gets in just to spite people like you. Have a nice day.

What's the matter with you?

You think Goku should be in, other people don't. Why are you getting upset? You realise it's your opinion that you raised in the CONTROVERSIAL opinions thread, yes?

I'm upset, because so many good arguments have made over the years for why Goku would be a perfect, justified fit for Smash Bros.. And then Goku-haters/anime-haters say "but no" without any counter to the arguments laid forward. And that's tiring and frustrating. I hate most of the 3rd-party characters in Smash, but I wouldn't tell anyone "that one doesn't belong in Smash" without good arguments. But with Goku, it's somehow okay to dismiss any argument being made.

Like, how is it up for discussion that Goku is THE most impactful, historically and culturally relevant anime-character of all times? Ruffy, Naruto, Ichigo, they all pale in comparison. And calling that "opinion" is dismissive. If mod's allow it, I'd make a poll thread asking which is the most popular anime-character with a selection decided by us (I'd only insist on Goku, you can choose the other options), and I'm sure Goku would win. Goku is a multi-generational, multimedial character who's only canon-story goal is to become the strongest fighter of all. How would he not fit in Smash as a representative of anime-games?

Arguing that Goku counts as a video game character because of how many Dragon Ball games there are is fuckin weird.

No, it's not.

I don't mind Smash having third party characters, but at this point i don't think of it as a Nintendo only game, but a franchise that is a crossover of various franchises with a heavy Nintendo focus...which i prefer if only because no one else is doing mass gaming crossovers aside from maybe Gacha games and gaming isn't just Nintendo.

I would absolutely hate seeing third party characters in Smash gone because, again, there is nothing else like it, that being said, i don't want Goku and Batman in Smash.

Smash became a celebration of gaming...well, more Nintendo and some games that Japan loves for the most part, but still basically the closest thing to it particularly in an AAA market, i like that it's gaming only focused and has only franchises that started in video games.

Come on, let Smash be gaming only characters...also, i miss Project X Zone too but that's pretty much dead it seems like.

And anime-games are a HUGE part of gaming history and deserve a representative, too.

I have no grudge against comic books. Go decide on THE representative for comic books and demand he be added to Smash. However, I doubt you'll find a clear consensus, unlike Goku would be for anime-games.

I mean you could argue Ash Ketchum is a more iconic anime character tbh. Or Ash's Pikachu.

No, you couldn't. That's the point.

And then you people wonder why I'm getting upset. :/

I'd like to clear the question of "most popular anime-character", though. A poll on Resetera can have 7 options of which I'd reserve one for Goku and one for "other, see posting".

So those of you who think Goku is NOT the most popular anime-character, please give me 5 characters that you think should be in the vote. Thx.

This goes on for another page where they demand someone make a poll for which anime character is the most popular and then keeps telling people they're wrong if they don't think it's Goku.

I feel dirty now. I need to go lay down.

He's not wrong though. Goku should be in Smash.

It takes me all of 5 minutes to step away from my PHD studies or taking a 5 minute break at the gym in between Personal Training sessions with my clients. Otherwise, it's the Egyptian way of life for me right now in my homeland, rather the UK London life I previously lived. Alexandria is much more social and far less reserved than London or Southampton that's for sure!

More and more it sounds like Edmund trying to convince himself that he doesn't miss the UK. Dude tries so hard to reinvent himself.

Luckily Edmund isn't a woman (that I'm aware of) or he'd be getting groped day and night.

Please sakurai!!!, I'll forgive you for your racist water cannon photos if you bring goku to smash and please finally reveal bulma as a wlw lesbian PLEEEASE!!!

Can't believe the fucking bitter anime-haters want to deny me just this one small thing. And then you people wonder why I'm getting upset. :/

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

smash isn't a fighting game why would goku be in it?

Danm999 is an Aussie.

Nah, he's definitely an Aussie cunt.

I say fuck the seppos close Pine Gap, pull out of AUKUS and really give them something to cry about but obviously the government aren't going to do that given there's an election coming

This fucking idiot.

We're a large country with a small population and a military that is incapable of actually repelling any serious attempt to invade us. How would any of those actions be in our best interests?

I expect Jeff and others on Era to see this film no matter how bad it is because they NEED to support the leading actress. If this film bombs it's on them. 

I can't pay for anything with Gadot in it. It's a shame, I'd love to see Zegler's performance.

While in most cases, I'd understand this logic, it feels weird in the case of Snow White when the lead actress is one of the very few pro-Palestine voices in Hollywood. Feels like it does her a disservice when she's ready putting her career on the line for her opinions while Gadot is not.

You want to boycott Gadot, chud? Uhm you're stifling pro-Palestinian voices then. See the fucking film.

[Potato]

so how is crashing the stock market part of the authoritative plan

Making the oligarchs even more rich/influential by scooping up more market control while shit is cheaper.

Make things cheaper for the ultra rich to buy and when the market recovers they're more ultra rich while the rest of us are just trying to figure out how to make it to tomorrow.

Why they keep pushing this?

Almost all of the "wealth" of the ultra rich is tied up in the share market. How are these people so incapable of understanding even the most basic things?

Yeah, I get it. Not meaning to be judgemental.

For me, I would be happy if the film did well. I would see it as a 'fuck you' to the alt-right bigots and a win for one of the very few outspoken anti-genocide voices in Hollywood.

But given how gross Gadot is, I can't blame you for not being able to look past her.

Normal people - Nah. That looks shit. What else is on?

Jeff Marvel - Buh...Buh...If you watch it it'll be a fuck you to bigots and a win for one of the very few outspoken anti-genocide voices in Hollywood.
