This quiz is awesome! One of the best ideas for a quiz that you have ever come up with. Great execution as well. I’d probably explain it a little better in the description though. I did eventually figure it out, but some things (most notably what the numbers meant) didn’t make sense until the end. I’d love to see more of these. This must’ve taken ages. I might not be as active on Jetpunk soon because in two days (not including today) I’ll be done with school.

Wow, that’s a big gap! It’s okay if this question is a little too creepy and you don’t want to answer, as I understand, but do you go back in August?

The other clues disqualify Ness from the quiz, and Ness isn't even Lucas' brother anyway.

Simon Belmont has never been in a movie, only a TV show, and can create fire with Holy Water. His smash reveal trailer was animated, and his game was made in 1986. He should be a valid input up until question 5 in the green section.

By "summon/create fire" I meant more like the fire comes directly from the fighter, such as Charizard's fire breath or Mario's fireball. Simon's fire comes from the holy water and not his person, which is why he doesn't count for that clue.

I changed my mind I'm accepting Simon for that clue.

Why is Roy accepted for made their Smash debut after Melee? I thought he made his debut in Melee?
Insaniot

a) Roy is accepted because of Roy Koopa, not Roy Fire Emblem.

b) Why would you type Roy if you thought it was wrong? lol

Missed only the last two questions in Ridley's column. For some reason, I never think of antagonists or similar stuff when it comes to characters that made their playable debut in Smash.

Smash definitely has an inbalance between its heroes and villains. While I understand that it was going to happen thanks to the nature of the game, I hope that more villains are added in the future!
