Ah, my old Smash fanfics. My plot was that all the characters were old, washed up TV actors that filmed an action series at the Smash Motel (because Executive Producer Master Hand was too cheap to go any higher for boarding than a crappy roadside motel) and they'd get into a whole bunch of wacky shenanigans. I need to go back and write that some more.
"And kung fu is a terrible way to run a company" - alliteratorI prefer the idea that they're like the toys in Toy Story. With the amiibos it's actually not entirely baseless anymore too.
If Smash is a televised sporting event, who would be the obligatory Combat Commentator?
I guess the actual competitive community has prog and D1 but they're not fictional characters so I don't know.

Y'know, in my little headcanon of a modern-day Captain N, I always imagined Super Smash Bros being a World Cup-style tournament for Nintendoland and Nintendo-associated areas (aka all third-party games applicable to Smash), with Captain N being some composite Mii Fighter.
Constipated Waffle: Mind one that's rather obscene (violence and language, I mean, not sexually)? It's entirely played for humor, mind you, not some epic tale or angsty romance or anything.
Anyway, I try not to read much fanfiction, though I must concede I do like the idea of- and had previously imagined it myself -the fighters staying at a Smash Mansion where the fights are hosted. Evidently I'm not the only one who had that idea, since apparently it's pretty popular in fanfics?

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Yeah, I figure it's been around for a long time.
I like to imagine that the Mii Fighters are not actually permanent invitees, but instead sort of like guest fighters. Maybe Master Hand sent out some sort of "enter this contest and you could win a chance to fight the Smash Bros. as a Mii!" contest slip to a bunch of alternate dimensions.
I also imagine all the actual Smash Bros. get annoyed at how often they have to fight Adolf Hitlers or someone with genitals for a face.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Smash is still just a kid playing with his Nintendo toys in his bedroom.
While wearing gloves.
Actually, the kid IS gloves. For some reason Master Hand and Crazy Hand live in a typical suburban home.
Crazy Hand is Master Hand's little brother who wants to break everything, but sometimes they place together.
Have any of you seen the Japanese advetisement posters for Smash?
I swear, seeing Shulk alongside Link as if they were equals is quite surreal. I love it!

"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."![]()
I'd take Charizard over Lizardon any day.
I meant it in terms of relevance; Link is about tens of years and games ahead of Shulk after all. Besides, we all know [DATA CORRUPTED] would kick all of the asses anyway.
Oh I finally looked close enough...the release date in Japan is just about two weeks away? I wonder if there will just be an influx of everything yet unannounced before then...and/or, in the month between then and when it gets released in the west.
You gotta believe me when I scare you away, all that I wish for is that you would stay

My headcanon was always that it was an actual company that actually showed fights. It'd explain (for me at least) the cheering in the background and why we have a Smash themed boxing ring as a stage. I go more in depth here.
