[@meltingrocket89yt]

“Trying to scam random people but actually getting scammed myself” is basically the description of this video

[@icedcapplord710]

I feel like the FGC in general can name more Smash characters than Smash players can name other fighting game characters lol It helps that a lot of Smash characters are from games that have overlap with people who play Smash already

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

Yeah I mean Coney makes Smash players guess who, like, Heihachi from Tekken is, and fighting game players have to get, like, some side character from a Game Boy Zelda game. And fighting game players still kinda did better. SMASH PLAYERS, PLEASE PLAY VIDEO GAMES

[@SilverInferno3]

Also FGC players will still play Smash casually and gain enough knowledge from that. Most Smash players won't be as inclined to play traditional fighting games

[@grunkleg.2934]

I'd even wager that FGC players just play more games in general than Smash players

[@zzzdeph]

This is natural as Nintendo characters are more popular and easily recognizable than characters from fighting games.

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

See if you wanted a hard ball for actual Smash players, you could throw Joker in there and ask them to give his canon name of Ren Amamiya. That would trip up fighting game and smash players all at once. Hell that might even get some Persona fans if they answer Akira!

[@aggapuffin]

I mean, since you can name the dogs in NintenDogs, Coney's dog, Choochoo, is probably the closest answer.

The only thing the first guy got wrong was saying Ricky was from Link's Awakening. He's from Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages.
