In college I was a campus radio DJ and I once got a request for a Zappa Plays Zappa song. I think it was Peaches En Regalia but this was at least 5 years ago, I can't remember for sure. I simply looked up song titles and that sounded familiar.

The proliferation of DLC and Microtransactions

I don't think I need to say why

Agreed, though Microtransactions are worse by far.

DLC is fine as long as it is truly afterthought stuff and not stuff that's available within like a week or worse, on-disc.

So I've been catching up on Family Guy from last season and early-middle in the season there is an arc that gets introduced, and on the second episode of the arc Jeff Probst opens with a Survivor-style recap of the previous episode (and yes, it's actually him). I would have died had I not already known that this was a scrapped gag for a two-part episode years ago that apparently finally came to fruition.

Also, I was considering conducting two days of bonus rankings for characters who didn't appear in CBX after the main series concludes, depending on interest - one for veterans and one for newcomers. If you're interested, please post saying as much, along with any suggestions you might have for characters to include in each slate.

Sure, but I've got no suggestions.

I like this idea, but doing a comprehensive list of every character that's ever graced our contest would require us to do an additional 300 characters to what we've already done, including an awful lot of super duper crap tier one-and-dones and very few near-elites/high midcarders. But here's a place we can start - this is a list which I believe is complete of characters with at least three contest appearances that missed the boat this time. I included where I believe they should go but it's tough because with how infrequently we've been having contests lately some of them have been MIA for over a decade.

For reference, I've included the last time each character appeared in a regular character battle (so, no Rivalry Rumble) if they missed 2013 (if there is no year then their last appearance was 2013).

Something really weird happened with Riku this year. That performance was entirely out of character for him.

As for Joker, he was weak this year, and the ill-timed Smash announcement will likely have no effect on next contest 3-5 years from now.

Edgeworth is really weak. Really weak. Probably should be in the next tier down tbqh.
