Smash Ultimate: Character Removal by Upvote - Day 70

Hey Smash Bros. fans! Get ready for another wild ride in our ongoing series where the most upvoted comment decides which character gets the boot from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. That's right, we're letting the internet decide the fate of the roster, one character at a time. Buckle up, because today is Day 70, and things are getting intense!

The Concept: Crowdsourced Character Cull

The core idea behind this whole series is simple: community engagement. We throw open the doors and let you, the players, the fans, the Smash enthusiasts, decide which character should be temporarily removed from the game. Each day, a new thread appears, and the comment with the highest number of upvotes dictates which fighter is yeeted out of existence (at least until the series ends, and maybe they all come back... maybe). It's a chaotic, democratic, and often hilarious experiment that shows just how passionate people are about this game. Why do we do it? Well, for starters, it's fun! It creates a unique and ever-changing meta, forcing players to adapt and explore characters they might normally overlook. Plus, it's a fascinating look at community sentiment. Which characters are universally loved? Which ones grind people's gears? And who will be the last one standing? These are the questions that drive us forward.

Why This Matters

You might be thinking, "Okay, it's a fun little game, but does it really matter?" And the answer is a resounding YES. Here's why:

  • Shifts the Meta: By temporarily removing characters, we're shaking up the established meta. Players are forced to experiment with different matchups, discover new strategies, and maybe even find hidden potential in characters they previously ignored. This keeps the game fresh and exciting, even for seasoned veterans.
  • Community Voice: This series gives the Smash community a direct voice in shaping the game experience. It's a chance to express your opinions, influence the meta, and connect with other players who share your passions (or your frustrations with certain characters!).
  • Unpredictability: Let's be honest, the best part is the unpredictability. You never know which character is going to be targeted next. Will it be a top-tier threat? A beloved underdog? Or just someone who got on the internet's bad side that day? The suspense is real!

Day 69 Recap: Who Got the Boot Yesterday?

Before we dive into Day 70, let's take a quick look back at yesterday's events. On Day 69, the character who received the most… unfavorable attention was none other than [Character Name]. Poor [Character Name]! It seems like the community had enough of [his/her/their] [annoying move/playstyle/existence].

  • Why [Character Name]? There were a few common reasons cited in the comments. Some players complained about [Character Name]'s [specific move] being overpowered, while others simply found [him/her/them] annoying to play against. Whatever the reason, the internet has spoken, and [Character Name] is temporarily out of the running.
  • Impact on the Game: With [Character Name] gone, we're already seeing some interesting shifts in the meta. Players are experimenting with new counters, and different characters are getting a chance to shine. It's a brave new world, folks!

Day 70: The Current Battlefield

Alright, folks, let's get down to business! Today is Day 70, and the battle for survival is fiercer than ever. The remaining characters are vying for your attention (and your upvotes), and the stakes are higher than ever. Who will be the next to fall?

Key Contenders

As always, there are a few characters who seem to be consistently attracting both love and hate. Here are some of the frontrunners (or should we say, backrunners) in the race to be removed:

  • [Character Name 1]: [He/She/They] are always a popular target, and it seems like the community still has some unresolved issues with [him/her/them].
  • [Character Name 2]: Despite being a strong contender, [he/she/they] also have a dedicated group of detractors who are eager to see [him/her/them] go.
  • [Character Name 3]: A wildcard pick, [he/she/they] could be a surprise contender for removal if the community decides to rally against [him/her/them].

How to Participate

Participating is easy! Just head over to the latest thread (link below) and leave a comment nominating the character you want to see removed. Upvote the comments you agree with, and downvote the ones you don't. The comment with the most upvotes at the end of the day will determine the next character to be eliminated.

Strategies and Shenanigans: How to Influence the Vote

Of course, this wouldn't be the internet without a healthy dose of strategy and shenanigans. Here are a few tactics players are using to influence the vote:

  • The Bandwagon Effect: If a particular character starts gaining momentum, others are likely to jump on the bandwagon, further amplifying the effect.
  • Strategic Alliances: Sometimes, groups of players will form alliances to target specific characters. This can be a highly effective strategy, especially if they can coordinate their efforts.
  • Meme Warfare: Let's be honest, memes play a huge role in shaping public opinion. A well-timed meme can be surprisingly effective at swaying the vote.

The Psychology of Character Hate: Why Do We Target Certain Fighters?

It's interesting to delve into the psychology behind why we target certain characters for removal. What is it about these particular fighters that grinds our gears? Here are a few possible explanations:

  • Overpowered Moves: Some characters have moves that are widely considered to be overpowered or unfair. This can lead to frustration and resentment from players who struggle to counter them.
  • Annoying Playstyles: Certain characters encourage playstyles that are considered to be annoying or unsportsmanlike. This can include things like camping, spamming projectiles, or relying on cheap tactics.
  • Personal Bias: Sometimes, it simply comes down to personal preference. Maybe you just don't like the character's design, their personality, or their lore. Whatever the reason, personal bias can play a significant role in shaping our opinions.

Looking Ahead: What's Next for the Series?

As we continue this journey of character removal, we're constantly looking for ways to improve the experience and keep things fresh. Here are a few ideas we're considering for the future:

  • Rotating Rulesets: We could introduce different rulesets to shake things up. For example, we could have a day where only DLC characters are eligible for removal, or a day where the character with the fewest upvotes is eliminated.
  • Community Challenges: We could introduce community challenges that tie into the character removal process. For example, we could challenge players to create videos showcasing creative ways to counter the most hated characters.
  • Guest Appearances: We could invite prominent members of the Smash community to guest-moderate the series and offer their insights.

Conclusion: The Chaos Continues!

And there you have it, folks! Day 70 of our Super Smash Bros. Ultimate character removal series is officially underway. The battle lines have been drawn, the votes are being cast, and the fate of the roster hangs in the balance. Who will be the next to fall? Only time (and the internet) will tell!

So, what are you waiting for? Head over to the thread, cast your vote, and let your voice be heard! Together, we'll shape the future of Smash Ultimate… one character removal at a time.
