It bothers me that 3 somewhat major Nintendo franchises have been ignored so far (except having one assist trophy):
Wave Race, 1080 and Nintendo Wars.

Make a Wave Race / 1080 stage and have that Japanese girl represent both franchises. She attacks with a snowboard but the final smash is a wave-related.
Have a Battalion Wars stage in which there is a war going on in the background. Give the representative projectiles like calling in morta fire.

At least we got a Pilotwings stage since WiiU. No Pilotwings character but the franchise somewhat merged with Miis.

"Team Xecutor members being indicted."

So glad to see career criminals heading off to prison. Fun fact: The ringleader was first arrested in 1993 for stealing thousands of credit cards. Now he has "graduated" to a full-fledged international criminal empire that includes co-conspirators in Europe, North American and Asia. They are all going down!

Between this and your obsession with heavies, I can gather that you've decided jumping is optional

The only reason to ever jump is if you've got another character in your arms and are suicide bombing them off the stage.

On the subject of heavies and Eric playing like a coward, I want to point out that you can cheese heavies in a respectable way. My brother was a Ganondorf main in Brawl and would spend most of every fight being juggled by me and the CPUs, but every now and then would get off a Ganondorf Punch through sheer determination and would eliminate me and the other three characters in one move. It always seemed so immensely satisfying that he didn't mind getting his ass kicked for the other twenty minutes we'd play a night.

I don´t have Ultimate, so I didn´t realize we already have a charge move in Smash: Terry´s (hold down to) Up B.
This raises questions about potentially charging characters like Bison/Vega (Dictator) [as SF director once asked Sakurai] or Chun Li appearing in Smash.
Charging sideways would be tricky to implement though (at least Chun Li could do without).

i haven't been able to understand the hype behind smash bros.
Then you have never hit an opponent with a smash-thrown item trying to get back on stage or hit an opponent in mid-air which was bouncing of a wall or previously hit by something else.

That said, the extremely high launch speed makes the latter more difficult, which is why I think Wii U is still better in terms of gameplay (although I like the new options after a dash in Ultimate).

In 3rd Strike Ryu can do his Ex kick special attack to make the opponent bounce off the wall (in order to follow up with sth else). Isn´t that a lot of fun?
In most fighting games the parameters are always the same (except distance). But in Smash you also have to consider the weight of the opponent and his %. Much more interesting (especially if you add the much more complex air battles: in SF jump to the right is always the same, in Smash you can influence your character in mid-air like in a J&R)

    Once again I fell down the martial arts rabbit hole and am plumbing the murky depths of the internet's various martial arts and fighting crafts echo chambers.

    I like to get up to speed on that every now and then, see what the newest high wisdom everyone is spouting nowadays.

    If you're not actively involved and only get up to speed every few years or so, you can see the tide of public opinion flapping worse than my dong while I'm skipping naked down a hallway.
