Wait, so are Greninja and Charizard their own distinct characters, or are they part of Pokemon Trainer?

They're distinct. There are no more transformation characters (Shiek and Zero Suit Samus are distinct from Zelda and Samus, too.)

Also the fact that you can be banned in For Fun mode because you overly targeted certain players is the most :psyduck: thing.

That was probably a poorly worded way of saying "If three people gang up on one person for an entire free for all match in order to grief them."

Samus has been disgusting male gaze bullshit since 1986 when she stripped down to her underwear to reward you for beating the game fast.

It's not a good thing, but it's not a new thing either.

What are some stages you would want in the game?

A Tetris stage could be neat. You could only KO from the top, and you'd have to avoid falling blocks.

You know, I say that, but even though it's an interesting concept I'd probably play it once and never again.

They did that with the Wii and it did not make a killing on the most popular system of the generation.

It probably would have sold better if they printed more than six copies of it, though. Didn't it sell out everywhere pretty quickly and then go up to $80+ on ebay?

Blue. The hair's blue.

And all the main characters are dudes with swords, for the most part. The exceptions are Ephraim, who's a dude with a spear, and Celica, who's a chick with magic, and neither of them are that relevant. FE isn't popular enough for it to have a fuckton of characters like Mario or Pokemon.

There's also the avatar character in FE13, who is a dude/lady with a sword but also magic. The avatar is more of a main character than Chrom, too.

I think it's safe to assume there will be at least three colors each. Otherwise for team matches you might be stuck playing as a boy when you want to be the girl just because you want to play on the red team. So each of them will have red, blue and green options, and probably at least one or two more each.

Actually I'm really glad they made a version of the male villagers like the one on the left. I mean the only real difference is the eyes, but it seemed weird that the villager model they chose to use wasn't the one straight from the newest 3DS version. The other villager model looks a lot more like the New Leaf version.

:confused:

It's literally the same model except for the hair and the textures.

I wish that's what GameStop did...no, it's worse, they break open copies and still try to sell them as 'New', despite being opened and handled.

That's standard fare for Gamestop, but with Xenoblade, they got a new shipment in and sold them all as used because the game's used value was like, $80 compared to the MSRP of $50.

According to a couple of different domain lookup sites, the registrar of onefinalsmash.com's e-mail is scorpion203@hotmail.com, which doesn't sound like an official Nintendo e-mail address. It also says it was registered to a Tokyo address, but Nintendo is in Kyoto, so that doesn't really check out either.

I'm still considering it, but I really doubt I'll bother. I can think of better things to do with four hours in the car.

I don't see a point in spending the gas money and three hours of driving time to go wait in line to play a video game for five minutes. I'll just wait a few months and buy it when it comes out.

That was something that bugged me in Brawl: all of Sonic's alternate colors were various tweaks on his regular appearance (e.g., shoe colors got tweaked mostly).

Why not give him alt colors based on other Sonic characters this time? I'd be down for an Eggman alt or even a Silver alt.

Probably a case of Sega saying "Sonic is blue. You cannot make him any other color." Wouldn't be surprised if that's still the case now.

Why didn't Nintendo just make wireless Wavebirds for the Wii U instead of an adaptor to plug in old Gamecube controls?

Thank god they didn't. Imagine buying 4 $40-$60 controllers as opposed to one adapter and then reusing all your old controllers.

E: or do they all have it there? I can't remember.

That's the standard position. The only obvious difference is the lack of the Nintendo branding, but I'm sure it's more cheaply put together and the buttons and sticks probably don't feel as good as on an official controller.

Hey, these were the same marketers who thought that hyping up all the console's non-game-related functions, excitedly listing all the ways it'd invade your privacy, and insulting anyone who thought backwards-compatibility was an issue would make the console sell more. They clearly don't understand what they're doing.

Not to mention the most amazing response to an interview question ever:

"If you want to play offline, there's already a product for you. It's called the Xbox 360"

I believe it was called inkdropping because when the general public played an early build of Brawl some gamefaqs (or some other website) user with ink in his name noticed this phenomenon and super insisted it be named after himself since he discovered it. I am not kidding.

So, a narcissistic nerd named it after himself.

Yes, this is what happened. And I distinctly remember people in the competitive Smash community making fun of him for it, even before they realized he hadn't discovered some sort of cancel.

I was trying to find that comic that got it wrong (I think it might have been from a Nintendo Power) and Samus was still in her suit but it referred to her as him and Samus had 2 girls on "his" arm. So, at least one official source back in the day got her gender wrong.

That could have been an intentional choice to avoid spoiling the ending. The English manual for the first game uses male pronouns to refer to Samus, as well (the Japanese version is entirely gender neutral)

He is just pointing out that Nintendo deliberately chose rules which literally encourage boring campy game play, and the match would have been more exciting, objectively, if they didn't do that.

Nintendo can be super duper silly sometimes.

Under normal tournament rules couldn't you just get a percentage lead and then stall the timer until you win, just like under these rules you can stall the timer until you get Sudden Death?

Like in this video that was posted earlier, where the guy is trying to do exactly that

I am not like shaking my hands in rage and crying, I'm just saying that the entire competitive smash community does have a reason for not playing by those rules.

Well yeah, of course they do. But this entire tournament was silly from the start, and having Sudden Death turned on was hardly the biggest example of Nintendo not really playing by tournament rules. Most of the matches were four player free-for-alls and they had items turned on, for crying out loud.

edit: More importantly, this was the best part of that whole tournament. Dude loves Mega Man.

Honestly, showing off a trophy and then later announcing the character will be playable sounds like just the kind of nonsense Sakurai would pull, because everyone counts a trophy as a definite deconfirmation.

Imagine if they announce Wonder Red and everyone's like "Well if characters already confirmed as trophies can be playable, that probably means Rayman is, too." and then Rayman really is just a trophy and there's no playable Ubisoft character at all.
