I said post count is far more important than remembering which post is which. Read a bit carefully. Nickels was harping on Noctis for misrembering which post it was. No one sees that as a serious lead. Maybe a setup for a slip up but that's all.
Smash is very different in terms of mafia and scum. The last time we had a smash mafia game, Marth was the leader of the mafia if I recall correctly. Admittedly that themed around Melee tiers but we cannot make quick judgements. Also, the flavor strongly suggests that this isn't quite the roster we see in Smash with Captain Falcon already confirmed not in this game.

A lot of the argument was about which post is which, but it was all in the name of showing that for most of the Day, his post count was absolute zero. I don't think that's enough to make a solid case because he could improve for the rest of the Day if it really was just about being busy with work at the time. Nonetheless, the whole thing was about post count, while Noctis tried to be nitpicky and say that technically he had posted something. Again, maybe he really was just at work, which should become quite apparent if his activity improves, but regardless, you're saying that post count matters and Nickles was trying to show that not only was Noctis' post count low, it was zero. As it stands, that's a count against him whether he was at work or not. Not enough even for a FoS in my book, but enough to warrant an investigation. An investigation that needs to move on past post count to something else, like the question about his reasoning for voting that I asked him earlier.
I don't see how Smash is different. It features villains and heroes, and there are enough villains to form a scum team. Again, Occam's Razor would tell us that the villains are scum and the good guys are town. We've no reason as of yet to believe it would be like this game you speak of with Marth as a godfather. Whether you're town or scum, supposing anything other than the setup matching what the flavor would suggest is harmful to town, as it opens up opportunities for scum to attack people with Town sounding claims.
And Captain Falcon being absent means nothing. There are only a limited number of players, so not everyone is going to be here. To me it just means that prof didn't include the entire roster of Smash 64 by default, so we didn't simply assume that they were in because they're in every Smash thus far. There may be others from Smash 64 who are missing, like perhaps Ness. Prof probably took the roster from across all 4 games, and as such characters you might expect to be in could be absent. That doesn't mean the villains will be absent when they would make for a great scum team, nor does it mean non-playable characters will be in this game when it would be really lame to pick something like Mr. Saturn or one of the assist trophies when there's over 50 other characters to choose from.
