They mostly concern the roster. For example, Melee will have fewer clone characters, instead opting for more different characters like Wario, Pit, and Takamaru.Which were your Smash ideas?

Like that idea, so far I though on some characters that could get introduced earlier, so far I though on this, not sure what you think:They mostly concern the roster. For example, Melee will have fewer clone characters, instead opting for more different characters like Wario, Pit, and Takamaru.
I can easily imagine a separate alternate history timeline where China went democratic because of the Tianneman Square protests, and has a similar history to modern Russia. Corruption, poverty, depression, discrimination, militarism, etc. It would be more open like IOTL Russia, but still not in a great place when it comes to freedom, democracy, and peace.Everytime a nation goes Democratic suddenly they tend to be rife with corruption and that will happen here, so its more Post USSR and will be engaged in an armed conflict with the UK in 1997 over Hong Kong.
Will Belos be a maleovlent version of God then ITTL or no?DM me but I just might derail them as I’m going with the show’s original idea Disney vetoed. And that is that Luz is basically in the afterlife.
Closer to SatanWill Belos be a maleovlent version of God then ITTL or no?
Honestly not sure if SSB64 should have any more characters from existing series. However, it might be possible to bring Marth in earlier, possibly replacing Jigglypuff.Like that idea, so far I though on some characters that could get introduced earlier, so far I though on this, not sure what you think:
Smash 64:
Peach
Zelda
Bowser
Wouldn't have enough content for a full moveset until Captain Toad comes out, unless there's a game starring Toad earlier.Smash Bros Melee (Likely doesnt has Dr. Mario or Young Link, these rather being alternate costumes):
Toad
Acceptable.Sonic
Wario
Pit
Acceptable if and only if The Mysterious Murasame Castle comes over to the West.Takemaru
Maybe as a replacement for Falco (Fox, Falco and Wolf are all rather similar).Wolf
Acceptable.Meta Knight
Lucas
Diddy Kong
Mega Man is fine. Pac Man is IMO poorly suited for Smash, so unless there's a game ITTL to buff out his moveset without resorting to other Namco titles he should be scrapped.Smash Bros Brawl:
Mega Man
Pac Man
Probably not both at the same time: their movesets would mostly involve similar content from the Mario spinoff games. Also, you stated Wapeach would debut in Mario Tennis 64 instead of Daisy taking her place, so Daisy would be even worse suited than Waluigi ITTL unless Daisy gets her own game.Waluigi
Princess Daisy
Unsure, although given modern Sonic is a lot better off TTL it could work.Tails
Knuckles
Probably workable.K. Rool
Acceptable, although see above regarding Eggman.Smash Bros 4:
Simon Belmont
Dr. Eggman
Not sure.Shadow (As Unlockable)
Assuming Rare's relationship with Nintendo is a lot better, I could see Banjo-Kazooie in Smash as early as Melee.Banjo
Not sure.Dixie Kong
Acceptable.
Ridley is okay. Petey Piranha and Porky Minch would be best to stay as bosses. If you do want another representative from the Mother series, consider Ninten from the original Mother.Petey Piranha (gets upgraded from boss to playable)
Porky Minch (same than Petey)
Ridley (same than the previous ones)
If Super Mario RPG spawns direct sequels (instead of giving way to Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi as OTL), then Geno could get in even earlier. Otherwise, he'll never make it.Geno (Likely as DLC but fully in game on the next one)
Depends on how much of a moveset she has; given your complete retconning of Donkey Kong, I don't think she has much of a chance.Smash Bros Ultimate:
Pauline
Captain Syrup could work; the other two would best stay bosses.King Boo
Captain Syrup
Gruntilda
Plausible, although they aren't the best picks for each series. I'd have chosen Mai Shiranui (censored appropriately) and Heihachi, respectively.Terry Bogard (As in base game instead of DLC)
Kazuya Miishima (As in base game instead of DLC)
See Geno regarding Square Enix' relationship with Nintendo.Sepphiroth (As fully in game instead of DLC)
Not sure.Conker (Likely as DLC)
See Geno.Mallow (likely as DLC)
There have been some hacks of Smash 64 that are able to add more characters, so I dont see why not.Honestly not sure if SSB64 should have any more characters from existing series. However, it might be possible to bring Marth in earlier, possibly replacing Jigglypuff.

This would require Square Enix's relationship with Nintendo to be better, though.

Other suggestions I'd make would be replacing Roy with Sigurd (FE6, where Roy debuted, was still in development when Melee released; Sigurd from FE4 would be a safer pick), and delaying Corrin to SSBU for similar reasons.
At first sure though I’ve felt more willing to butterfly things away. The Spider-Man trilogy and Dark Knight trilogy for example will not survive but it’s balanced out in this universe by other films. I do try to save franchises if I can. Working on 1990 in Anime I will say butterflying away Samurai Pizza Cats due to it being a Tatsunoko production hurts a little despite having never seen it. Though I feel that the year by year approach will reveal more and more things being butterflied. I was born in 1994 so past that point I do wonder if big chunks of my childhood will survive.This might be a personal question, but are there any things that are getting butterflied ITTL that you feel sad/somber-feeling to see go Marco?
Hopefully they will. Also yes I definitely agree on the Spider-Man and Dark Knight trilogy films, hopefully bits and pieces of them survive and make it into other films ITTL on the bright side as a compromise.At first sure though I’ve felt more willing to butterfly things away.

What I’ve discovered. Especially when it comes to superhero movies. Is most of the films use a lot of script parts from unmade earlier movies. Raimi’s Spider-Man from James Cameron’s unmade 1994 Spider-Man and Burton’s Batman from a 1980 Batman film script.Hopefully they will. Also yes I definitely agree on the Spider-Man and Dark Knight trilogy films, hopefully bits and pieces of them survive and make it into other films ITTL on the bright side as a compromise.
It does not.What happened to the Hays Code (1934-1968) ITTL? Does it still exist or not?
Good stuff! Coincidentally that concept was being talked about on the “ TL Ideas you have, but lack the wherewithal to execute” thread.It does not.
Dreams are made in Hollywood
The hayes code never exist in America, letting movies flourish in showing and discussing all sorts of topics starting a second Renaissance of artistic innovation. It could somehow become the most liberal state earlier.
It would probably have incredible cinematography that is popular to this day.
Maybe an earlier Civil Rights period for both the black and LGBTQ+ community as well?
Movies exposing the discrimination crimes against minorities and homosexuals could help change public opinion against them earlier.
Assuming someone bothers to shoot those movies in the first place. Or that the reaction of the public is something other than "well, they deserved it".
Remember, the POD is that "now those movies won't be censored," not that "directors will now feel the compelling need to make documentaries exposing minority abuse."
Yeah, there could be a apathetic response of the common discrimination that existed or probably call it communist propaganda. Worse-case scenario, a southerner director makes a 2nd "Birth of A Nation" that's even inspires more KKK members to join.
Originally I had him live longer. While the modern idea is he was unappreciated in his own time. He was actually basically up and coming when he died. Popular artists wrote about him in a “there’s this guy. Not many people know him but he’s great”. And then he died. Originally it was thought suicide but new evidence suggests some kids were playing with a gun. He was shot and didn’t want them to get in trouble so he lied and said he tried to kill himself. So naturally he’d live and become popular. However since I put this in after 1900 he may remain dead. Though I personally would butterfly his death away.Two questions;
1. What happens to Vincent Van Gogh ITTL? Does he still die from a gunshot wound, or does he live a better life and get a happy ending?
It does not. Though I’m not sure how beyond negotiations it would be prevented. This does have huge repercussions such as Justice League Mortals releasing and Supernatural never introducing popular character Castiel(the writers wanted Sam to save Dean but the strike led to a rewrite where Castiel was introduced to pull him out of hell). This in turn butterflies away the infamous “Freaks” speech in Riverdale as that was inspired by comments made by Jensen Ackles in response to Castiel and Dean in the finale.2. Does the 2007-2008 Writers Strike still happen? If it does not then how is it prevented?
Yes due to the Nintendo and Sony partner ship existing, though not all the elements from Player Two Start which had that as the POD carried over. Miyamoto for example is still alive.In many Pop Culture Utopias, the SNES-CD exists. Is that the case for TTL?
