During a recent hoddle audit, many of you expressed a desire to have a space to talk about video games. I know very little about video games, but the people want what the people want. So, Hoddle Headquarters is testing out this new feature because this is a hoddle for the people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">There\u2019s no better place to start Fitzie\u2019s Gaming Corner than with a discussion about Super Smash Brothers. If you ask me, video games peaked with Super Smash Bros Brawl. And it\u2019s probably no coincidence that\u2019s the last video game I bought.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It was the greatest. You had these amazing characters and beautiful graphics. There was a compelling single-player adventure mode, as well as dynamic stages that allowed for some truly fun gameplay. This was the third installment of the Super Smash Bros series, and two came after that. I didn\u2019t purchase the other ones (because I didn\u2019t have gaming systems), but there was one character I really liked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Which brings me to the point of this hoddle: I\u2019m going to list, in no particular order, my 10 favourite Super Smash Bros characters. Did anyone here play Smash Bros? Gimme your thoughts below. Or, ya know, just chat about video games or whatever. (If yesterday\u2019s hoddle mishap taught us anything, it\u2019s that this truly matters very little).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Fitzie\u2019s track of the day: The Pretender, by Jackson Browne<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6540093\/2025\/08\/12\/tottenham-super-cup\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jack P-B ($$)<\/a>: \u201cTottenham Hotspur return to the biggest stage \u2013 but have they narrowed the gap on the elite?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/articles\/cr4eqzggwqgo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sami Mokbel<\/a>: \u201cSpurs start new era under \u2018glass half-full\u2019 Frank\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/football\/2025\/08\/12\/thomas-frank-drops-yves-bissouma-lateness-spurs-super-cup\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Telegraph<\/a>: \u201cYves Bissouma dropped by Thomas Frank for disciplinary reasons in first test of Spurs manager\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Good morning and welcome to the first edition of \u2018Fitzie\u2019s Gaming Corner\u2019, where your hoddler-in-chief talks about games&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79473,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99,55915],"class_list":["post-79472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports","tag-tottenham-hotspur-daily-links-the-hoddle-of-coffee"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79472\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
