I have to sincerely apologize for ever posting puns, here or anywhere. I never understood just how much pain they can cause before now.

ReturnOfFable posted:Man if she gets a bunch of gravity moves, that would be the best. Let's just put in a Smash Bros. character who's sole purpose is to dick over and frustrate everyone else. Jigglypuff is made of marshmallows and treachery. I assume every group of people playing smash had a character who wound up in that role, probably different for each one.

Jigglypuff death races were the best thing. Losing because some random item fell and knocked you without bursting your bubble? Priceless.

Rosalina looks like the sort of character I like to play in fighting games, which is why I'm excited for her. It could anyone filling her role in the game and I'd find them cool and interesting, really, but puppet characters always manage to be fun for me. Does anyone really need a better reason than "looks fun to play?"

It looks like Rosalina's gameplay in SSB is mainly going to revolve around summoning lumas and using them as a second character. Desynching the Ice Climbers and using them to attack off the heels of the other's hits was a popular strategy among competitive Brawl players, so that should be pretty interesting. Also the reveal trailer featured her bending squirtle's water jet around her, so you can count on a couple of cool space-type moves.

You guys mentioned Bowser not having a canonical voice, but he does speak before and after the final fight in Mario Sunshine. Also not all Bowser focus content can be good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_ZLmk54GWw

Yeah, Rosalina's fighting style revolves around summoning a Luma that fights alongside her, performing special moves for her and such. I understand Arc System Works games have this sort of character (Guilty Gear and BlazBlue both had one apparently, and it's basically the whole idea of Persona 4 Arena), and they seem fairly popular. She looks like she'll be interesting to play, but another strong thing is that, yeah, she's a non-sexualized playable female character in a fighting game, the more of those we get the better.

The whole "summon poo poo and throw it around" thing sounds a great deal like Olimar in Brawl.

tinkerttoy posted:The whole "summon poo poo and throw it around" thing sounds a great deal like Olimar in Brawl. It seems to me that it works a bit like a cross between Olimar and Ice Climbers. You've still got an army of little dudes, it's just that there's one of them and they operate with a defined moveset rather than defining your moveset.

Bosses are never going to be the hardest part of a Mario game, because if you make them hard, they become a frustrating wall, but a challenging level kills you at several different places, and you learn to overcome it.

It's actually possible to die during the credits if you use Yoshi and the infinite flutter glitch on the last screen with the cake.

Does anyone really need a better reason than "looks fun to play?" I think most peoples' complaints tend to boil down to Smash Bros. ostensibly being about the biggest most recognizable characters in the company fighting, and Rosalina's nobody's favorite character out of all the myriad of characters Nintendo has in their library (and if she is your favorite character... well okay, more power to you but whatever). But hey, in a game with Wii Fit Trainer and Random Animal Crossing Man up to fight, whatever, all bets are off. I hope her Final Smash (are they bringing those back?) is making Lubba sit on opponents.

It's been fairly ovbious for awhile now that Nintendo are gleefully trying to put literally every fictional character that has ever existed into SSB so Rosalina's addition comes as no surprise. I'm just surprised at how many people are running around going "Yay Rosalina!"

TwoPair posted:But hey, in a game with Wii Fit Trainer and Random Animal Crossing Man up to fight, whatever, all bets are off. I hope her Final Smash (are they bringing those back?) is making Lubba sit on opponents. Yeah, they are. The only new Final Smash we know of is the Wii Fit Trainer's (assaulting you with colored silhouettes of fitness poses), although I'd wager we saw Mega Man's somewhere in his intro video. We haven't seen much of anything about them yet, though. And really, I don't think many people are specifically cheering about the fact Rosalina's in, so much as they're cheering about her because she's a properly unique character, exactly what you'd want to see in a newcomer from a fighting game. On top of that, she's also a non-sexualised female character, and one that actually provides variety among the female characters (she's a fairly big, hard-hitting heavyweight, all the other women fight pretty lightly). The Mario franchise might already be a bit over-emphasised, and that's a legitimate complaint to make, but divorced from the representation element of things Rosalina is a top-class character to see.

Rosalina was in the heavy class in Mario Kart Wii, right next to the likes of Bowser and Donkey Kong, part of this was due to the class system in that game being based around height than weight, Rosalina is by far the tallest lady in the Mario games.

Rosalina's body is actually composed of superdense neutron star matter. Despite her petite appearance she weighs several million tons.

Yeah, she has a unique fighting style, is seven feet high and will tower over Ganondorf, and is pretty compellingly different from even Olimar, the closest current character. What's not to like?

Am I the only one who really didn't mind Rosalina? I didn't like nor hate her, I just felt like she was just there for story purposes in the first game and didn't find her annoying or anything.

I'm excited to see characters I didn't expect. Game and Watch and R.O.B. are a lot of fun to play so... On topic, I thoroughly enjoyed this level, because I feel that final boss levels should be a test of what you've learned up to that point, and this was a nice smattering of that.

The main reason I was amused by her intro video was because it was introduced on the Nintendo Direct as "an announcement for a game some of you might recognize." Then the video made everyone think "New Kirby Air Ride! Wait, Kirby in Mario Kart! ...Rosalina in Mario Kart again? Oh, it's Smash."

Actually, as a kid, (and even still SOMETIMES), I find the poltergeist-desert-pyramid-hands boss to be.....stubborn. Does that count? Also, Diabetus or slowbeef mentioned after Mario grabbed the last star that now Mario's Faceship is going to go around now sucking in galaxies. This IS the natural progression of the series, and would set the stage perfectly for..... wait for it.... Super Bowser Galaxy 3 The climactic showdown between Bowser and Lubba. Totally gonna happen yo.
