The Villager Is A Giant Troll In Super Smash Bros.

There’s something about the villager. Something sinister. Something hilarious. Something, frankly, troll-ish — which means he’s a blast to watch in action now that the game is out.

…I can easily see it being downright infuriating to play against the villager — especially when you consider his moveset. Said moveset includes things like breaking pots on you, chopping down a tree, and bugging you with a slingshot. Plus, my favourite: pocketing things.

I mean, HE CAN POCKET A FUCKIN FINAL SMASH. WHAT IS THIS, EVEN:
