  The Diddy Kong as Dee Jay, it&apos;s because his monkey flip references Dee Jay&apos;s similar move, the Double Rolling Sobat.<br><br><br>Update: In the Smash Wiki, it was stated that Diddy&apos;s Side Special references Dee Jay&apos;s Double Rolling Sobat, but it seems they have changed it. It says now that Monkey Flip (Diddy Kong&apos;s Side Special) references... Monkey Flip (Dee Jay&apos;s Throw in Street Fighter II)

  None of these “racist” decisions made by Nintendo would have had enough momentum to cancel smash. In fact, I doubt they would or could have had any effects on sales.

  The Min Min &amp; Twintelle situation is the biggest joke to me. Nintendo can add who they want to the game, they shouldn&apos;t be forced to bend over backwards to please the crybaby woke crowd. Min Min was the most popular character among fans and among the creator of the game, so it makes sense to choose her.

  So many things<br><br>-DK is perfect for Mr. Sandman from a moveset perspective. The main thing about Mr. Sandman is that he punches like a truck. No better character in the roster to represent this. They were also probably wanting to avoid representing every punchout character with Little Mac spirits <br><br>-The feather was trying to mimic the original game, and importantly, was removed with a statement as soon as footage of it happened. <br><br>-Min Min being chosen over Twintelle is not them choosing not to include a black female character; it’s not going out of their way to choose a Smash character based on race alone. <br><br>It appears that they wanted to represent Arms as a whole game with the character, for which non-armed character would be out of the running for (I’m guessing Mechanica was also not considered for the same reason)<br><br>Also, they simple picked the character the creator likes best and asked them to put in the game. <br><br>As for Bayonetta, the Smash Ballot never once said that any character from any ranking would definitely be in the game. They wanted survey data and we were happy to provide it but they were super non-committal with their language. <br><br>-As for the trans flag, objectively speaking, “Trans Rights Now” is a political statement. It’s a call for political action, for lawmakers to do an activity. Flooding the stage builder with trans flags is also, objectively, a political action, you might even call it a small-scale political movement. Regardless of whether we agree with the political statement in question, and I personally do, it’s their right to not allow any political speech in their platform<br><br>If they didn’t remove all political speech, they’d also either have to allow the other side to have full right of political free speech (so a stage saying “no trans rights” would also have to be allowed to stay, for example) or they’d be forced to take specific stances on which political stances were considered “correct” and which weren’t, and ban “incorrect”’ politics. <br><br>Asking an intern to ban stages that are political is a tall order, but doable. Asking the same intern to choose which politics are correct and which aren’t is a subjective and complex task that no one person can reasonably perform perfectly.

  smash was never going to get &quot;cancelled&quot; because of byleth, people were just annoyed it was a wasted slot. nothing big enough to make them stop playing or &quot;cancel&quot; it

  I&apos;m more ok with Byleth in Smash and will always argue for their inclusion in Ultimate. The difference between them and Corrin has to do with the success of the games. While Fates sold well, it wasn&apos;t that well received amongst fans, so I feel like they could&apos;ve done without Corrin (even though I like playing as Corrin). Three Houses has some fans that weren&apos;t pleased with the way it came, it overall pleased the majority of fans. Old fans were happy to see that it leaned away from being a &quot;Waifu simulation,&quot; having one of the worst stories in Fire Emblem history, and having the shallowest cast in the series to something that felt like Fire Emblem, but different. Yeah, the differences between Three Houses and classic Fire Emblem were enough to deter some fans, but it was enough to keep the majority happy and bring way more fans to the series, even more than Awakening did. If Corrin wasn&apos;t in Smash I truly believe that Byleth would&apos;nt have been such a big deal simply because it made much more sense than adding in Corrin.

  The Min-Min vs Twintelle &quot;race issue&quot; is probably one of the biggest loads of bullshit I&apos;ve heard in awhile

  I don&apos;t see the sandman thing as racist, I see it more as really fitting since donkey kong is a big strong character who has really strong punches, that was my view and the other reason I didn&apos;t even consider, looking now though, I do think it makes sense with the issues it recieved

  My mother in the background after hearing the Twintelle diversity issue: &quot;IT&apos;S A JAPANESE GAME! Why does it have to be an American thing?!&quot;<br><br>An excellent point to be honest, lol

  I want to say<br>isn’t it better that they didn’t choose Twintails solely because of her race?<br>cause that’s basically saying the only important thing about her is her race… not any special character traits, or cool moves…

  I&apos;ve reached the twintelle controversy part of the video and I just have to say &nbsp;JESUS CHRIST people were blowing all this shit way out of proportion. No there isnt any racism, people are looking way too deeply into this shit. The game and watch thing I can get, but fuck, everything else is a massive stretch
