With&nbsp;Super Smash Bros.&nbsp;officially announced for the Nintendo Switch, fans of the series wasted no time in predicting which characters will be in&nbsp;Super Smash Bros.&nbsp;for the Nintendo Switch.&nbsp;Super Smash Bros.&nbsp;character predictions get harder and harder with each title as Nintendo breaks free of the original &quot;Nintendo-only&quot; rule for the roster. Furthermore, each passing year adds what feels like another 10 classic characters to the Nintendo canon, only further complicating character predictions for Super Smash Bros.&nbsp;By the time the series reached 15 years of age, the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-super-smash-brothers-4-characters/ranker-games" target="_blank">character roster in&nbsp;Super Smash Bros.&nbsp;4</a>&nbsp;featured dozens your favorite standard&nbsp;Smash&nbsp;characters alongside third-party characters like Bayonetta and Cloud Strife. Since the series no longer restricts third-party characters, and there's a wealth of Nintendo characters that have yet to make a&nbsp;Smash&nbsp;appearance, the sky is basically the limit when it comes to&nbsp;Super Smash Bros. Switch&nbsp;roster&nbsp;predictions.&nbsp;That being said, which characters should appear in Super Smash Bros. Switch? Some of the most popular roster predictions for&nbsp;Super Smash Bros. Switch&nbsp;include&nbsp;Waluigi, Shovel Knight, Rayman, and Amaterasu. Other Smash Bros.&nbsp;predictions speculated on the return of previously cut characters such as Squirtle, Dr. Mario, and of course, third-party characters. Will&nbsp;Solid Snake return to&nbsp;Super Smash Bros.? Would Okami in&nbsp;Super Smash Bros. Switch&nbsp;be the right choice? The answer to both questions, hopefully, is yes, but no one will know until the game gets released. When it does, expect it to impact harder than Kirby's DOWN+B.

Kingdom Hearts is a magical action-adventure RPG gaming series&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/top-10-greatest-crossovers-in-video-game-history/the-doctor">combining&nbsp;the worlds of Disney and Final Fantasy</a>, but who is the best Kingdom Hearts character?&nbsp;Gamers were first introduced to&nbsp;Sora, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/overpowered-anime-characters/crystal-brackett?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the main character</a> of the original&nbsp;Kingdom Hearts, in 2002 when it debuted&nbsp;on the PlayStation 2. Since then, there have been a&nbsp;total of&nbsp;11&nbsp;prequels, sequels, and&nbsp;spin-offs, as well as a second &quot;main title&quot;&nbsp;Kingdom Hearts II in 200 and the follow-up Kingdom Hearts 3 in 2019.

Between all of the titles, fans have been introduced to almost 150 Kingdom Hearts characters -&nbsp;some old&nbsp;and some new, such is <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/kingdom-hearts-mashup-fan-art/crystal-brackett">the beauty of crossover</a>.

Falling into Autumn

Autumn

It&#39;s the most wonderful time of the year: the time when pumpkin things are on the shelves (even though it&#39;s still like 90 degrees outside). What&#39;s your favorite pumpkin-flavored food? Everyone knows about the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte, for which fanatics line the blocks each fall, but have you ever tried Pumpkin Spice Oreos? How about Frosted Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts? Did you even know that Ben &amp; Jerry&#39;s made a flavor of Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream??&nbsp;

Sadly, many products with pumpkin flavoring are seasonal or &quot;limited edition&quot; items, only available once the leaves turn orange (in some parts of North America - not Southern California, or else we would be waiting forever). Get your Pumpkin Spice Hershey&#39;s Kisses and Reese&#39;s Peanut Butter Pumpkins (not pumpkin-flavored, btw) when you see them, because they&#39;ll be gone before you know it. Others, like pumpkin K-Cups and Jell-O and cookie / bread / muffin / pancake mixes seem like they will always be available - at least on Amazon... But not the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-pumpkin-beers/bottoms-up">best pumpkin beers</a>. Those barely make it to October.

How do you feel about pumpkin? Love it? Hate it? &quot;Meh, it is OK&quot; it? It&#39;s certainly not for everyone. Also, not everything on this list is pumpkin flavored, or even food. Some of it is just like candles, a Charlie Brown special,&nbsp;or even pumpkin&nbsp;seeds, which taste nothing like that ubiquitous&nbsp;pumpkin spice - no cinnamon, no nutmeg. No, properly prepared, pepitas&nbsp;taste like salt.&nbsp;Delicious crunchy salt. Vote up your favorite pumpkin foods and items, and add any that are missing.&nbsp;

In fantasy and horror-based media, we're supposed to root for the normal-looking&nbsp;good guys&nbsp;and be repulsed by the monsters and villains they fight. But, more often than we'd care to admit to ourselves, monsters can have a certain edgy appeal that conventionally attractive good guys&nbsp;just don't.&nbsp;Whether they're river gods,&nbsp;demons,&nbsp;slasher movie villains, or freshly-risen corpses, there's just something about a bad boy or girl that we can't say no to, no matter how many horns, fangs, robo-parts, or tentacles&nbsp;they're rocking.Fans of horror sometimes don't even have an issue revealing&nbsp;their crushes on fictional monsters, like <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/sexy-pennywise-cosplay/crystal-brackett" target="_blank">cosplayers dressed up as sexy Pennywise</a>.&nbsp;Director&nbsp;Guillermo del Toro even fed this taboo theme into his human/fish fornication movie, The Shape of Water.It definitely helps, too, when the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/horror-actors-in-and-out-of-makeup/erin-mccann" target="_blank">character actor out of makeup</a>&nbsp;is a secret hottie.

Animated human skeletons have been used as a personification of death since the Middle Ages. From Jack Skellington to Skeletor, the skeleton character is often a type of physically manifested undead found in fantasy, gothic and horror fiction, and mythical art. Despite having no live flesh covering, he or she is still mobile. Most are human skeletons, but they can also be from any creature or race found on Earth or in the fantasy world. The following is a list of some that have gained notoriety in fantasy movies, television, and animated features, with names and images. Sometimes it's as simple as looking the most badass. Which are powerful, spooky, or even funny? Vote up your favorite skeletons, whether cartoon or live-action, from a movie or TV show or any other media.

Emo - short for &quot;Emotive&nbsp;Hardcore&quot; - grew out of the punk scene in the &#39;80s. Eventually, it developed&nbsp;into the aggressively angsty&nbsp;pop-punk and <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/alternative-bands-and-artists/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">alternative rock bands</a> of the early &#39;00s, like&nbsp;Taking Back Sunday,&nbsp;Dashboard Confessional, Fallout Boy,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Panic! At The Disco.&nbsp;Today, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stuff-only-emo-kids-understand/rebecca-shortall" target="_blank">emo is a subculture</a> that&nbsp;encompasses more than just music. And emo characters - past and present - exist in the darkest&nbsp;corners of TV, film, animation, and video games.

Dreamy emo boys in fiction possess floppy hair you want to run your fingers through,&nbsp;an icy demeanor you think&nbsp;you can shatter, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/hot-topic-retail-stories/erin-wisti" target="_blank">Hot Topic clothes</a> to accentuate&nbsp;their delicious&nbsp;darkness. But,&nbsp;despite their introversion, they&#39;re prone to emotional, teary outbursts - usually about someone they love who failed them. Not exactly ideal boyfriend material, but you can make it work, right?&nbsp;

Goths and Disney are not as oppositional as you may think. In fact, Disneyland has its own <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/bats-day-at-disneyland/lowe-saddler" target="_blank">day for goths</a>, and Disney movie goths are plentiful. They&#39;re not all villains, either.

Spawned by British bands playing dark, macabre rock music in the &#39;70s and &#39;80s, the goth subculture has evolved both forward and backward, bringing with it a multitude of influences spanning across continents and time. There are hundreds of designations for goth styles, including traditional, romantic, hippie, and casual.&nbsp;

Disney goth characters possess distinct features, complex motivations, and edgy style choices marked by deep colors and fierce makeup. The characters on this list contend with the darkness in us all; some of them embrace it,&nbsp;while others fight it. Who speaks to your inner gloom and fills with you a desire to reach for black eyeliner?

Latte art is the practice of baristas drawing awesome portraits, landscapes or pictures using milk foam. These are the best examples of latte art on the internet -- ranging from photos of kitten/cat latte foam art, to nerdy, video game latte art done with both frothy foam and chocolate syrup on occasion, to works of art like The Scream re-created into coffee art. And yeah, I know, most people think that coffee art is really lame and only belongs on places like Instagram and that only hipsters like it, but that&#39;s why this list exists.
