Derived from "Scrimblo Bimblo, the lovable Scrunko" a term used to describe obscure, cartoon-like video game mascots. Now used as a general term for all mascots of this nature (e.g. Mario, Sonic, Pacman, Crash Bandicoot, etc).
The term has risen to prominence in the Super Smash Bros community, due to the abundance of fans calling for the inclusion of recognisable mascots such as Crash and Spyro. Some (not all) of these fans take issue with the inclusion of less recognisable JRPG characters, often labeled as "anime sword fighters", due to them being generally less recognisable to westerners, and having similar appearances and abilities, which some feel makes the roster stale.
In response, the section of the fanbase who support the inclusion of "anime sword fighters" (and other similar characters) will use the term Scrimblo Bimblo in a more negative light, criticizing those who propose the inclusion of said characters as blinded by nostalgia, biased towards well known characters, or simply lacking in video game knowledge.

Person A: I'm sick of all these characters I don't recognize in Smash. When will Nintendo listen to the fans and add Crash or Spyro to the game?
Person B: You're just a biased westerner, blinded by nostalgia. Typical Scrimblo Bimblo fanboy!

A Euclid class SCP, also known as “the wall of flesh”. It is a huge autonomous mass of flesh, composed of body parts from several known species (such as Blue Whales, Giant Squid, and Humans) as well as a large yellow sensory organ, that does not correspond to any known species. Any human or animal in contact with SCP 2059 will be absorbed into its mass.
SCP 2059 displays extremely hostile behaviour to all humans and animals it is exposed to, and will attempt to either kill them, or assimilate them into its mass.
