I do not understand the concept of smash spoilers

World of Light is a story mode with gimmick fights so i guess people don't want to know about anything that could be potentially cool, but i cannot fathom a reason for anyone to give that much of a poo poo

Then again i already don't care about spoilers in anything as it, so idk

I can't stop laughing at the fact Matt has to LP Dante's Inferno by himself because literally no one else will do it with him. Can't believe this of all games is where they're drawing the line.

Dante's Inferno is boring as sin and it would require extra editing for a lameass game, I cannot blame them even a little

People were getting mad at Smash leakers for "spoiling" the soundtrack.

Pat's stance on the Smash leaks is weird, but I don't get why people are incredibly up in arms about it, I guess maybe if you live in a Smash-centric internet bubble you might get spoiled accidentally? The community doesn't seem like it's full of people that would do that, in fact it seems like it's quite the opposite.

I haven't gone digging but it seems less "up in arms" and more 'annoyed/bummed."

I think a lot of people have been getting excited / anticipating it, and want to go in getting surprised and excited by all the little things, like music, "story" and even just little gags, even if they aren't a big deal in the bigger scheme. The whole game and release feels like a bit of an event, and spoilers/leaks kinda take a bit of excitement out of it. Like, discovering and sharing stuff about a newly released game is always fun when you're apart of it, and it's kind of less fun when everyone's done it the week before it drops.

I also think it's the fact that we're so close to release that's getting people frustrated because, at least personally, I want to try to avoid having the little things spoiled, but it's really hard to resist the urge to check out what people are talking about and stay out of the loop.

Another way to look at it, is it feels like this is stuff that doesn't need to be spoiled/leaked? Like roster or stages, in the situation that Nintendo didn't just reveal them all ahead of time, I could see being a divisive but understandable thing to spoil. On one had, it'd be a lot more spoilery, on the other, that's the juicy poo poo you actually want to know.

I don't really need to know what tracks or spirits are in the game - it'd be more fun to find that on my own I think.

I think it's also just a factor of knowing a bunch of people are playing it while you're still waiting is a bit of a bummer.

Doesn't the new smash have a pretty substantial single player adventure mode now? Or am I imagining poo poo

It does but I'm not buying a Smash game for single player (or online play for that matter).

It's fun to play but yeah, it doesn't look great from the outside.

It doesn't help that he doesn't have any of the really fun skills equipped yet, and blocking isn't something he's going to be doing ever

Without dodge roll and block you pretty much can't fight right

Yo run that back, what was the Matt/Woolie MRA poo poo?

Also, man hearing yall talk, I kinda feel like stepping away from them because of Pat and Paige was a good idea. I was hella weary on Paige because of the crowd she kept, but it's apparently they just don't care. I could be wrong in this, but I'd probably be less upset if Pat was actually a bigot and not just taking the most cowardly stance he could take.

Also what was that Matt tweet?

It really is. It's some kind of quasi-action game coupled with jrpg menus that don't work because you have to take your finger off the movement stick to do anything that isn't mapped to one of the three (?) shortcuts. It feels really clunky too. I played through it when the remix collection was released and if I hadn't had a bit of nostalgia for it there's no way I'd have made it through.

They should also really just edit the gummi sections out unless something actually happens on them. They're gonna add like an hour or two to the lp in total.

gummi battles are a good time for them to just clearly shoot the poo poo and barely pay attention to the game so it's fine.

Yeah I don't think either of them are actually fash. Based on everything I have been able observe about them over the years it doesn't really seem compatible with their lives. However, I absolutely think Paige is capable of believing she's smart enough to be above politics and be utterly oblivious to the basic ethical dimensions of not endorsing, entertaining, or hanging out with peope espousing unconscionable beliefs.

And Pat's Pat. He'll defend anything beyond reason, especially if he thinks he or someone he likes is being attacked.
I don't think they're malicious, I think they're both incredibly, willfully, obtuse.

They're my favourite on-screen pairing of all the Best Friends, and it's upsetting because I really don't feel like watching them any more. Because, apparently unlike Paige, I actually do have a moral issue with endorsing people who associate with/tolerate/are fash.

Pretty much, yeah. Pat got me into a lot of games I would've passed on through his streams, more than the rest of the Best Friends channel's videos, but now it's just nah hard pass unless something changes.

Pat was never my fav and I kinda let Paige being into some bad poo poo slide because A)she wasnt on the podcast and B)I didn't know about the nazi poo poo, but this entire stunt kinda killed me paying attention to them. I didn't really have much place to vent it so this is largely my catharsis of it. I like woolie a lot and Matt enough, but conscience doesn't want me adjacent to anything nazi related even if it's the most fringe connection.
