Finally caught up.

I took the character quiz. I specifically answered the first and last questions to try and get Shulk (the first question I didn't have an opinion, the last I outright lied). Despite my attempts to rig it:


Y Monolif y?
I do like Melia though.
You're too honest. You need to LIE in order to get who you want.

I know you're passionate about this but now's a good time to put that Serenity to good use. I know I can rely on you to do this.

Oh and you're also reticent...or something. Which I'm sure is good in some way....

Man guys, I only had a few posts to catch up on this time. Usually there's about 5 pages. Shulk disconfirmed.

Stop Animal(Melia) abuse xp
Each day, millions of poor Melias become homeless strays. Forced from towns flooded with ether. All their families turned into monstrous birds. Many of them will become the butt of many a joke on smashboards. Only you can help. Stop the Melia abuse. Donate today.

About a five hour gap between the Dunban and RawstyleEevee's posts, (audible gasp!)

Got Dunban in that poll. Not bad, not bad at all.

I have no idea what went down at SDCC but I presume no confirmed characters. I'm still holding out hope for August.

We didn't get a character (which I expected really). The tournament was awesome though! Bowser pretty much dominated the tournament.

Yeah, that last match was hype! I'm thinking if the game stays a similar speed though that three-stock is going to be alot better to watch than four. Four seems to drag on a bit, while three would probably be just right.

On another note, I've been thinking about that Ninka_Kiwi leak (and how godawful and obviously fake it is.) but if the concept of "Monado mode-swapping" (Yeah I know, what the hell even is that?) was actually implemented, how would you want it to work? (Yeah, I know Ninka said how it worked, but that sounds not only boring and nonsensical, but would be so completely obnoxious in a fighting game to manage it's not even funny. I mean seriously, pressing B to cycle through stats? "OK, Bowser, so I need...Mode...whatever the **** they're called.. Oh ****nuggets, that wasn't the right one. Time to cycle back thr-." FSMASH "God...damn it."

Seriously, there's a reason even Blazblue, one of the most complex fighting games out there, only has one Stance character, with one stance. 5? Are you ****ing kidding me?

I was thinking maybe the "modes" could just be the different Monado symbols, and have different properties based on the symbols. (Completely broken theoreticals: Purge Mode shuts out specials and deals extra damage. Eater Mode does dot damage, uhhh...Shield mode...shields. (This is harder than I thought.)

Well I apologise for being rude my Ladyship, but I only want the best for you

Can contain end Xenoblade spoilers
Sadly I lack a Monado so that I could have prevented all the misery you had the endure in Xenoblade, due you atleast deserved to have your kingdom restored & perhaps the option that people could have let Shulk choose you instead of Fiora, then being forever alone in the original ending.

I am so happy that this will NEVER happen.

So my uncle's daughter's friend works at Nintendo and has confirmed that Shulk is in. However, after the hype of yesterday's final matches, Shulk is being replaced by Larry the Lobster with blonde hair and he wields the Monado.

I second this. BlazBlue kind of thrives on having every character being entirely unique, but I always end up avoiding characters that run several fighting stances with different moves and combos. (To compare BlazBlue again, the only stance I'd be fine with is something like Hazama, where a couple special attacks require you to use Serpent's Benediction 'stance' first, and doing the attack immediately sends you back to normal.)

I'd still totally play Shulk if he was a complex stance character, but Smash prides itself on being easy for anyone to pick up and play. A stance character would go against that idea completely. Even someone like Rosalina with the remote-control Luma stretches that notion. I don't think they'll be brave enough to try a stance guy, and I don't think they should.

The obvious two you left out are buster - increases attack range and knockback at the expense of speed.... and speed, which is the opposite.

We might get a reveal soon. The music went back on on the twitch channel and now there's a countdown timer on the youtube feed. 7 minutes time til it hits 0, I wonder what will happen.

I feel like we should have a teamspeak or something. Sometimes there's just too much insanity to be contained within a lowly thread.
