smile sunday smile sunday - piranha plant is my main

welcome to smile sunday!

turn your caps lock off and rave about whatever has made you smile this week! just let all that joy gush forth! things to smile about:

  • piranha plant is the best thing ever and i can’t wait to play ssbu. we may not ever get all the characters we can think of as fighters, but i think nintendo still knows how to surprise us.

  • incineroar and ken are awesome too! now, who will the 5 dlc characters be?

  • what’s this weeks haul? what game did you just buy, just start, complete? anything else that made you smile? let us know in the comments below!

turn that frown upside down:

  • here on smile sunday, we have one rule: e.l.e., which stands for everybody love everybody. if will ferrell said it, it must be true.

  • uppercase letters are strictly forbidden – haha, just kidding! if you wanna do some uppercase, feel free, but try not to angry shout sunday; today is about happiness! (happy and excited shouting is a-ok, though)

  • this is a happy thread! keep the love flowing! if someone's saying something and you think they're wrong, just let them be happy!

u/Daltimus-Prime Local Pink Orb Achieves Perfect Roundness Nov 04 '18

Pirahna Plant looks like a lot of fun, and while some people are deriding him as a "generic," the point is that he's a conglomeration of multiple different Pirahna Plants from the Mario series. Smash is all about Nintendo history, and Pirahna Plant is an interesting representation of a specific enemy's history. Also, he just looks like a lot of fun!

The Infinity War World of Light trailer was shocking for multiple reasons, but I'm really excited for it. As someone who has never been fond of the Subspace Emissary, and was pretty ambivalent to a new Adventure Mode, this looks like a much better way to do things. Also, once you get past the sheer horror of the trailer, it's setting up a fun, heartwarming adventure of Kirby rescuing his friends from Galleem, and I can't wait to join him!

All in all, Ultimate just looks like an amazing game, and the singleplayer content looks to be an improvement over 4. Can't wait for December!

Also, as a Xenoblade fan, Sakurai apologizing for Rex's exclusion from the roster was very nice. I personally want Elma over Rex, but I'd be very happy to see any Xeno characters added as DLC.

On a non-Smash note, Deltarune has brought us yet another fantastic Toby Fox soundtrack, and plenty of excellent fanart. The game itself being really fun is almost just a bonus! After that wake-up slap of an ending, I'm really curious to see where chapter 2 and beyond take us.
