Tingle - Ripened Tingles Ballon Trip of Love

Honestly, Tingle is my choice for next Zelda rep. Yeah, hes a gross little imp man who isnt cool like all the other Zelda characters, but he has the ability to make for a bunch of really fun moveset ideas, actually appears in multiple Zelda games in prominent roles, and theres something in my heart that is screaming to beat others with Tingle of all characters. In any case, Tingles had a surprising amount of playable appearances! From the Tingle Tuner in Wind Waker giving him a bad co-op mode if you love buying Nintendo peripherals like you know you do to his Hyrule Warriors appearance being fun and over-the-top if hard to actually play to Rosy Rupeeland seeing him pay off a bunch of thugs to fight his battles for him in an evolution of For Frogs The Bell Tolls. However Ballon Trip of Love sees Tingle going through a dating sim slash adventure game where he is so horrendously ugly, he has to do various chores to make up for how horrendously ugly he is, then win dating sim sequences to swoon women to eventually go to a ball with him. The entire game is also a parody of The Wizard of Oz, complete with idiot scarecrow, killer android Tin Woman, and just the lion, the lions just the lion nothing changed there. So, yknow. Thats the best appearance, thats the one. I miss Tingle as an Assist Trophy terribly, what a fun, useless man.

Falco - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Lo, the face of oppression is nigh. Find peace in the grace of shorthop laser, or be done in by thy same sung pistol, Falco has always been a character that Ive gone wow youre well considered for the most part. I hate you. Something about the sheer oppression his laser offered through Melee and Brawl nullifying half of the casts approach options just by existing has put me off from ever wanting to touch the guy, but in spite of that, I do find him a really dynamic character to watch. His super high jump is a great gimmick to give him a solid contrast from Fox while still keeping the dogfighter air superiority fighting style intact. I like the changes theyve given him over the years to better reflect his riskier but flashier dogfighting style and personality, and they finally didnt have him go PERSONALLY I PREFER THE AIR and then he dumps something called a LANDmaster on you. I did always find it funny how you could booster people off the top with Falcos Landmaster jump - definitely the best of the three tanks just for that feature alone, incidental KOs from weak pushes are always funny. I appreciate how many of Falcos moves show off the aerodynamics of his arwing, so many of them featuring various rolls and spins that honestly better emulate the vehicle than Fox or Wolfs moveset. All the pieces are there for him, but I dunno, I dont feel like they totally come together? Like Melee hes fox with stunning lasers which gives him a whole different feel, Brawl hes oh damn a double shot, Smash 4 hes bad, and Ultimate hes improved, but it feels like we still havent quite discovered what his playstyle is yet because his first two appearances were SO laser-heavy? I want to see the Falco meta develop more, this has the potential to be a really sick character, and hes a spacie so hes naturally got his fundamentals down, but man. Weird guy. A-

Best Non-Smash Appearance: Star Fox Assault - Falco really does his NPC appearances better than his playable ones. Only showing you shortcuts and alternate paths if you impress him with fancy flying, his constant griping and bragging, coming in to save the day at the end of Star Fox Adventures - Falco is designed to be a wingman and he fulfills that role really well. As an interchangeable pilot in the Star Fox cast, hes totally fine. I do like that hes shown as an equal to Fox in Star Fox 2, essentially the Luigi of the game but I also dont like Star Fox 2 very much and think yeah, probably a reason it didnt come out. Star Fox controls good, so Falco controls good, and I will reiterate that Assault has a really fun, nonsense multiplayer mode.
