A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... A dude writing blog posts ranking the characters in Smash was out of large franchises or categories to write about. Should he just do the rest of the characters? He counted the rest of the characters and found that he had seventeen left. That certainly … Continue reading 12 Days of Smash Bros: Day 8- Character Rankings By Series (Metroid & Star Fox)
You know, the Smash community sure does have a ton of hype for third party characters. When Sonic was first announced for Brawl, I think the Smash community let out a collective fanboy squeal. Since then, they've wanted more and more third-party characters. And we've got quick a few. So let's take a shot at … Continue reading 12 Days of Smash Bros: Day 7- Character Rankings By Series (Third-Party)
Not every character in Smash Bros comes from the giant franchises, such as Mario or Pokemon. No, some characters are alone in their franchise representation, and their inclusion is often a bit of surprise to those who enjoy Smash. Such is the case for the next set of fighters that we will be ranking. I'm … Continue reading 12 Days of Smash Bros: Day 6- Character Rankings By Series (Nintendo One-Offs)
I loved Infinity War. If you haven't seen it, stop whatever you're doing and go see it immediately. I'd hate to spoil it for you. The movie did the impossible. It juggled a massive cast and a believably unstoppable threat. Thanos, who had been looming since the original Avengers film, had finally struck. His plan? … Continue reading Was Thanos Right?
I remember when the first Smash Bros came out. I thought to myself, "what in the world is Jigglypuff doing here?" It didn't exactly make sense to me. But it ended up working out. Since then, Pokemon has become the highest grossing media franchise in the world. For that fact alone, I could see why … Continue reading 12 Days of Smash Bros: Day 5- Character Rankings By Series (Pokemon)
This week at work, I've been spending hours on end looking over papers while listening to music. In some ways, it's incredibly boring. In other ways, I get to listen to music so the time passes faster. I'll call it an overall win. Anyway, the point of that is that I've been listening to plenty … Continue reading The First Time You Know You’re Not Enough
I think it's fair to say that the majority of people who have played Smash received their first exposure to Fire Emblem via Smash Bros. I'd also say that quite a few of them have yet to try out a Fire Emblem game. That's really too bad. It's a great series. We're up to seven … Continue reading 12 Days of Smash Bros: Day 4- Character Rankings by Series (Fire Emblem)
Have you ever gone back and watched the original Power Rangers series? I have. Multiple times, in fact. As a kid of the nineties, I used to watch it a ton. I'd get all the toys, shout out "hiya!", and pretend to beat up putties. Viewing the show as a twenty-something adult, the nostalgia doesn't … Continue reading How to Make the Perfect Power Rangers Movie
Of all the series that are represented by Smash, I think it's a safe assumption that The Legend of Zelda is my personal favorite. The cast of characters is great and the games do a wonderful job of presenting their different personalities and play styles. With only six characters to rank (three of them being … Continue reading 12 Days of Smash Bros: Day 3- Character Rankings by Series (Zelda)
I wholeheartedly believe that God is sovereign. While pages upon pages could be written to explain what that means (and many denominations have slight nuances in the doctrine), the basic idea is that God is King and Lord. Think of when we call earthly kings "sovereigns". It's just a fancy term for the guy that … Continue reading The Awkward Edge of Sovereignty
