#03: Link

Fighter Number 3 is Link. Box Ring Title: Champion of Hyrule.

Next up is the first representative of the Legend of Zelda series, Link.

Link has been redesigned to match his appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. He can now pick up arrows he's fired, and his bombs have been upgraded to remote bombs, so you can set them off when the timing is just right!

Link made his debut in the 1986 NES (and FDS) game The Legend of Zelda. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, he is now voiced by Kengo Takanashi, who reprises his role from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. He now incorporates elements from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in his appearance and moveset.

Unlike most other Nintendo characters, there are several distinct incarnations of Link throughout The Legend of Zelda series, whether they are teen or pre-teen. He is marketed as one of Nintendo's flagship characters, along with Mario and Pikachu.

#02: Donkey Kong

Fighter number 2 is Donkey Kong. Boxing Ring title: King of the Jungle

Donkey Kong made his debut in the 1981 arcade game of the same name.

His charged punch is one of the strongest attacks in the game! In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, his Final Smash has been updated from Konga Beat to a flurry of punches!

The original Donkey Kong was Mario's first nemesis, who held Mario's then girlfriend Pauline, who would later become the mayor of New Donk City. captive over a construction site. Mario had to make his way to the top of the skyscraper to rescue Pauline. Donkey Kong would later return in Donkey Kong Jr. which saw his son rescue him from Mario. He would later go up against Stanley the Bugman in Donkey Kong 3. The current Donkey Kong from Donkey Kong Country is the grandson of the original Donkey Kong.

#01: Mario

Fighter number 1 is Mario. Boxing Ring title: Mr. Video Game Himself.

The descriptions of the Fighters in the roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate have begun. Let's start with Mr. Nintendo himself, Mario, who debuted in Donkey Kong.

"Mario is an all-around fighter who uses his wide variety of techniques to respond to any situation. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, he shows up in his Wedding tux and his Builder outfit, and Cappy even makes an appearance!"

Mario is one of the original 12 of the Super Smash Bros. series. He is an all-around fighter who can respond to any situation. He dons his usual outfit in his first six costumes. He dons his Building outfit in his seventh costume and his wedding tuxedo from Super Mario Odyssey in his eighth costume.

Years before video games went mainstream, Shigeru Miyamoto developed the classic arcade game Donkey Kong, introducing Mario as the protagonist, and Donkey Kong as his nemesis. Mario's design was influenced by the strong limitations of the technology of the early 1980s. Miyamoto gave him a mustache under his big nose to show that he has a face and gave him overalls to distinguish his arms from the rest of his body.

Mario's appearance in the original Super Smash Bros. game on the Nintendo 64 and in Super Smash Bros. Melee is based on his appearance in Super Mario 64. His appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is based on his appearance in Luigi's Mansion and Super Mario Sunshine. His appearance in Super Smash Bros. 4 is based on his appearance in Super Mario 3D World. His appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is based on his appearance in Super Mario Odyssey.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Roster so far

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is scheduled to be released on December 7, 2018, for Nintendo Switch. The Fighters (playable characters) are numbered in the order they joined the roster. The epsilon symbol (ε) indicates Echo Fighters, and the number next to it refers to the Fighter that the Echo Fighter is based on. The starter roster is the same as that of the original Nintendo 64 game, which was released in early 1999. Therefore, only the Fighters that were available by default in the original Nintendo 64 game are available by default in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, so the player must unlock the rest of the launch roster. Here are the numbers and names of the Fighters, and their respective debut games as of November 1, 2018:

Krystal should be have been an actual fighter, not an Assist Trophy

On June 12, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was announced for Nintendo Switch. Every fighter who ever joined the roster in the history of the Super Smash Bros. franchise will be playable in the game. That amounts to 63. Plus there are newcomers Inkling and Ridley so far.

My biggest disappointment is that Krystal from the 2002 GameCube game Star Fox Adventures, one of the most highly requested characters, has unfortunately been relegated to Assist Trophy status. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is currently in development, so this may change.

I advise you to sign this petition:

American Idol renewed for season 17 (season 2 on ABC)

American Idol has been renewed for a second season on ABC, which is nicknamed the "Alphabet network." The winner of American Idol season 1 on ABC is Maddie Poppe, with Caleb Lee Hutchinson as the first runner-up, and Gabby Barrett as the second runner-up. Only the top 10 of season 1 on ABC will not be eligible for season 2 on ABC. Season 1 on ABC began after a two-year hiatus from its 15th and final season on Fox.

Here's the outcome:

Winner: Maddie Poppe
Runner-up: Caleb Lee Hutchinson
3rd Place: Gabby Barrett
4th Place: Michael J. Woodard (my favorite), born on October 6, 1997
5th Place: Cade Foehner
6th Place: Catie Turner
7th Place: Jurnee Siani (who originally auditioned for season 15 on Fox)
8th Place: Ada Vox (drag queen who originally auditioned for season 12 on Fox as Adam Sanders)
9th Place: Dennis Lorenzo
10th Place: Michelle Sussett (who hails from Venezuela)

I predict that the real winner will be Michael J. Woodard. I would like for Alyssa Raghunandan to reaudition.

The Hair Industry Conspiracy Theory

There is a conspiracy theory about the hair industry. For one thing, fans of short hair for women are in cahoots with the salon industry and the media. However, conventional wisdom may favor short hair, but true wisdom favors long hair. Long hair is a barometer of health and should be respected, at least for women. The industry claims that long hair is higher maintenance, which means more money for the salons.
