SmashBoards: Difference between revisions

In 2015, Smashboards became Shaqboards, which made everyone's profile picture into images of {{s|wikipedia|Shaquille O'Neal}} while character mains became emoticons of Shaq. Tier Lists for the game {{s|wikipedia|Shaq Fu}} were posted as well as a guaranteed {{SSB4|Luigi}} [[Green Missile|misfire]] tech being discovered. <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150402002455/http://smashboards.com/</ref>

In 2016, Smashboards would become Emblemboards as an inside joke to the huge amount of {{uv|Fire Emblem}} characters present in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]. It made everyone's picture into images of characters from the ''Fire Emblem'' franchise as well as turning character mains into emoticons of characters from said franchise. Users notably tiered ''waifus'' and ''husbandos'' during this day. <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20160401233156/http://smashboards.com/</ref>

In 2018, Smashboards became Ridleyboards, as a reference to the continued popularity and inside jokes surrounding the Metroid character [[Ridley]]. On April Fools, each user had their avatars replaced with images of the beast, which were oversized to the point where only portions of the actual character could be seen, as a reference to the recurring "Ridley is too big" comments when discussing his potential as a playable character. On top of this, the forum's text became purple and was enlarged, once again to reference the inside joke. Ridley would be revealed as a playable character for ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' two months afterwards.
