[Croph]

I'm taking a major in environmental studies...but I want to do something else. :/ Like something in the health field, maybe becoming a paramedic or social worker. All I know is that I want to help people...But I really have no clue what I want to do lol.

Ah, school talk. This is kinda random, but it's fun getting to know each other.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

I believe I'm still technically undecided, but right now I'm on track to be a CS major. I'm only a freshman, so that might change.

If you're not big on programming now, you won't like computer science. Don't make the same mistake I made.

Well, I'm not super crazy about it, but I find it tolerable enough and I'm fairly competent at it, so I think I'll take my chances.

 

[lobotheduck21]

I'll make my list when I'm not on an iPad

Don't even think about it. Go do something else. Please, don't make the same mistake I made. I thought things were going to get better/more interesting, but I was dead wrong and nobody talks in that major. When they do, it's in really technical terms.

Meh. It really seems like you and I are very different people, so I doubt what held true for you will necessarily hold true for me. I expect a whole bunch of technical jargon. BTW, are you switching majors, and if so what to?

Thanks for the warning though.

 

[Shorts]

Kuma is a beautiful soul Pichu, are you saying you aren't a beautiful soul? Don't "take a break" from college kids, learn from old Shorts. I still haven't went back. Am I having fun working for a living and partying? Hell yeah. But I really, really regret leaving school. I could be two years down by now.

Or, ya know, take a break. Its fuuuun! Poor, but fun.

If you are an extrovert, I don't recommend it. Unfortunately, I'm in my last semester so I'm afraid I can't switch as I'm better off finishing the damn thing. I'm minoring in business and it's easy as hell save for the backwards Economics I took last year (though I wasn't exactly in the best mental shape). I don't know what I'd switch to otherwise and it's always been my problem. Only reason I"m really in comp. sci. was because my parents didn't want me to go undecided for four years.

I'd love to be in something artistic, but I was so scared to say anything for the longest time because of what people would think of it. I dealt with enough teasing and **** in elementary school, I didn't want anymore of it. I was also worried what my parents would say because they put so much money in my education and that I was so good in the math and sciences (hint: I didn't give a **** about it).

Well good thing I'm not.

 

[Deleted member]

What character reveal will make you do this? I'm just lookin' to see what kinda characters some of the users I don't know very well like.

I can guess most I bet!

Horsetail: Starfy
Chu: Shulk
Psycho: Geno
Manly: Lyn (Only because I've noticed you like her, never really talked with you about her)
Kuma: Kumatora
Chrono: Roy
Arcade: Toad (But really DHD)
---: Mewtwo (With a spoon)

As for me, Junior, Krystal, and Dixie would get me PRETTY "YYYYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSS"

For me, that would be Mega Man, Definitely my most wanted character and the only third-party I want that has a realistic shot of getting in.

We are quite similar, except the extrovert thing.

 

[BKupa666]

I wouldn't have a YUSS reaction to a K. Rool reveal because I'd probably be out cold on the floor before his NEWCOMER banner even came up onscreen.

 

[peeup]

The only two entrants that could make me spew clue glue all over my computer would be Mewtwo or Plusle and Minun.

Or of course Sora. He would make me spew more clue glue than there is clue glue in the deep blue.

There is no spoon anywhere in here. For shame. I am disappoint.

 

[Starphoenix]

I wanna see you all get creative, pick characters to fill these requirements:

*Shortie's list*

Largest character in Smash history: Ridley
Lightest character in Smash history: Pichu
Futuristic fighter: Megaman
Long Ranged Weapon Wielder: Saki Amamiya
A character riding something: Chocobo and Slime
Small-heavy character: Waddle Dee
New transformation character: Starfy
Magic wielding character: Palutena
A close ranged combat specialist: Little Mac
Shield/Wall specialist: Krystal
Trap character: Animal Crosser
A PT without starters: Female Pokémon Trainer - Jigglypuff, Pichu and Gardevoir.
Aerial combat specialist: Balloon Fighter
A Dark/Evil character: Hades
A Pure character: Chibi Robo
A really young character: Shulk
A really old character: Star Man
A summoner: Jimmy T

My ideas in bold.

 

[ChronoBound]

I really think this could be the last time there is a lot of hype for Smash Bros. in terms of characters. Nearly all of the long-time Nintendo characters (outside of those from the Mario series) will be added in. Assuming Ridley, Little Mac, Mega Man, Isaac, and K. Rool are added, I can't really think of any characters left to add that have a large fanbase (again Mario characters, and possibly Dixie Kong).

Honeybadger Mewtwo don't give a **** about your manga spoon.

 

[~automatic]

Ridley, Little Mac, Mega Man, Isaac, and K. Rool

Are these the characters that are generally thought to be the front runners for inclusion in the upcoming installments?
This is the only Smash 4 thread I pop my head into so I really don't know despite the fact that they do appear to be universally accepted with no controversy.

 

[ChronoBound]

I would add Palutena to that list.

Palutena only started to have a large fanbase as of last year. I was talking about characters that have had a large fanbase calling for their inclusion for a long time.

[Neanderthal]

Good post Vann and welcome back to the boards.

I agree with 99% of your reasoning and this is a much more realistic roster in my eyes than most you see here. Quite similar to mine in fact.

Although I am hoping we don't see Bowser Jr for personal preferential reasons... And I don't think we will see Girahim, just like we didn't see Zant in Brawl. Sakurai has resisted the temptation to include new characters from popular established franchises unless they are making semi regular appearances.
Ike might be the closest exception to this, but he still appeared in 2 games and FE has no infinitely recurring characters to choose from otherwise.
Obviously characters from "classic" retro games are an exception to this rule.

Edit: I just thought of Lucario being an exception to this. But I think that's special circumstances given the desperation to include a new generation Pokemon of whom there are none recurring.

I disagree that there will be some Wii U and 3Ds exclusive characters. Knowing how huge the workload is to create and balance a character, I don't see them doing all that work just to omit a character form a system who they put all that effort into.

I only skimmed and read bits and peices of the rest because it's so LENGTHY, but your logic seems sound on most fronts. Give or take a few characters I think this will be very close to what we see.

Are university studies in Spain free like they are in France and a bunch of other Euro countries?

No. it's the same as Frost, 1000 Euros a year. It also doesn't help that getting a scholarship is a bureaucratic nightmare. Thankfully, I can afford it with my current job but those are 1000 Euros I could use for something else, like visiting my parents in Mexico for example.

University education is such a disgusting monopoly, the way some of the courses are handled and such is truly astonishing. Considering it's a necessity, University education should be free world-wide, especially considering the internet is such a valuable resource and makes up for a lot of it, we ultimately go there to get a piece of paper, not to learn anything...

Ahh well, I don't wanna rant, but point is, I hate it. I'm doing an English major too, but it's a load of bull****.

I hate to be that guy, but Dillon does not use guns. He does use dynamite however.

Well that's... lame. I went with Dillon mostly on design alone. But how do you have a sheriff who can't use a gun?

The only two entrants that could make me spew clue glue all over my computer would be Mewtwo or Plusle and Minun.

Or of course Sora. He would make me spew more clue glue than there is clue glue in the deep blue.

There's glue in the deep blue? I though the ocean had water...

Kuma is a beautiful soul Pichu, are you saying you aren't a beautiful soul? Don't "take a break" from college kids, learn from old Shorts. I still haven't went back. Am I having fun working for a living and partying? Hell yeah. But I really, really regret leaving school. I could be two years down by now.

Or, ya know, take a break. Its fuuuun! Poor, but fun.

I can't take a break man, I just gotta get it over with. I already had my gap years before starting Uni, getting back was tough, but I need a Uni degree to get a Japanese Work Visa, so... The only way there is to move is forward, no matter what.

 

[CalumG]

Olimar
*Saki
*Ray MKIII
*Shulk
*Dillon
So first off, no Isaac. Golden Sun was a great game, one the best, but, there hasn't been a new one in ages and I don't see a new one anytime soon. Saki, he would be a wonderful fit, I know people say "add Isa" but Saki is THE MAIN Sin and Punishment character, not the newest, the first one, the one who got it all started. Sin and Punishment received a revitalization when it was brought to the virtual console for wii, and with a second title, and I wouldn't find it farfetched if there was a third title for the Wii U. Plus, when he was an assist trophy, he looked so good on that stage, he deserves to be a fighter!

Is that so?

 

[Diddy Kong]

I took a 'break' to 'think what I wanted to do'. Granted, I got my degree and ****, but I never continued. Why? I like life better this way. Like college actually made me smarter 4 years since I left, and would do it again.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Shiek could end up looking something like this. (But better, of course) To match SSZelda, I mean

I can live with this.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Well that's... lame. I went with Dillon mostly on design alone. But how do you have a sheriff who can't use a gun?

Well first off, Dillon is not a sheriff but rather a ranger. Second, Dillon does not use use guns because it's not really necessary. He can destroy things with rolling, explosives, and claws fine enough.

 

[Moon Monkey]

Dillon seems like he'll be a blend of Sonic, with quite a few rolling dash attacks, and Snake laying down explosive traps on the stage.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Sheik officially being a man, and wearing Impa's clothes just to spit on Impa fans?

Can't live with that. Sorry.

Yes, I am a difficult man, following difficult principles, but bear with me.

I haven't seen Diddy Kong for a while actually. I wonder if he's in a closet building a statue of Impa made out of bananas and having wet dreams over his waifu.

Funny thing, I spend the weekends with my girlfriend. As in, actual human flesh, female gendered girlfriend.

 

[Frostwraith]

This is awesome.


I hate this new site, that's why I haven't been here much.

Honeybadger Mewtwo don't give a **** about your manga spoon.

Honeybadger Mewtwo don't give a **** about getting into Smash 4. Still is better than that weakling Tail Whip Mewtwo from Melee.
