@Lady They really did draw Marth like a girl...
@coriander marth canonically marries a pegasus knight which, if you are aware of fire emblem genre conventions, practically asserts him as a lesbian
@coriander i would like to remind you and @aescling and @wallhackio that this was what Marth looked like in Brawl
@Lady @coriander @aescling brawl marth was so much fun to play
@wallhackio @Lady @coriander he’s fun in every smash game
@aescling @Lady @coriander brawl marth was much more fun that sm4sh marth
@aescling @Lady @coriander to be fair, there are very few fun sm4sh characters
@coriander @wallhackio @aescling this probably means you had friends in high school
@Lady @coriander @aescling i played smash bros with my high school friend group, so um, fuk u actually
@wallhackio @coriander @aescling i already know cori¦s parents are cool
@coriander @Lady @aescling smash is designed to appeal to a very specific kind of autism that you do not have and that's fine
@wallhackio @coriander @aescling smash is designed to be played by filthy casuals after a night of drinking with superspicy curry + bunny hat + low gravity turned on some autistics just also play it seriously sometimes
@Lady @wallhackio @aescling This is correct
@coriander @Lady @aescling there's a time when I was 12 and I stumbled competitive gameplay for Melee on YouTube for the first time. I played Fox so I was looking up Fox gameplay and I saw footage of PC Chris vs Ken.
You know that scene in Chihayafuru when Arata tells Chihaya he believes she has the talent for Kurata? It was just like that. In an instant my life was never the same, and I knew I had to play competitive smash bros
And if you don't have that autism that's ok
@wallhackio @coriander @Lady has cori seen chihayafuru
@aescling @coriander @Lady cori you absolutely must. you are not allowed to argue with me about this
@coriander @aescling @Lady I am reading dune at your suggestion so you now you have to pay it forward
@wallhackio @coriander @Lady if sports anime with heavy romance undertones sounds up your alley you will LOVE it. and it’s just really good so you might end up loving it anyway if it doesn’t
@aescling @wallhackio @coriander does loving the game count as romance??
@Lady @wallhackio @coriander does telling your crush you love them not??
@aescling @wallhackio @coriander telling your crush you love them is only romance if they say it back
@Lady @aescling @wallhackio Is this show gay?
@coriander @aescling @wallhackio is the love of the game gay?
@coriander @aescling @wallhackio it features strong rivalries between same gender players of similar ages
@Lady @aescling @wallhackio Strong rivalries are a kind of gay
@coriander @Lady @wallhackio definitely the way Chihayafuru purrtrays it
@Lady @aescling @wallhackio More to the point, do card games count as sports??
@coriander @aescling @wallhackio congrats you discovered the central theme of the show
@coriander @aescling @wallhackio 74% of mastodon users HATE good art
@Lady @wallhackio @aescling This is where I pop in and say I think Smash is.... not "bad" necessarily, but like
Smash does nothing for me
I don't like it
