"Picasso had this saying. 'Good artists copy, great artists steal," and we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas." - Steve Jobs 1996
"I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this." - Steve Jobs 2010

In other words: "Good artists steal, but not from me."
The loss aversion complex is reeeeeeeaaaaaaallllll.

Well, to be fair, that is quite the year gap. Still funny though.

 

[Luigi The President]

So how did you guys feel about Rocket League beating out Undertale last night?

I was pleasantly surprised. Rocket League is very fun actually and I've yet to play Undertale.

 

[jahkzheng]

Kind glad I don't own X just now.
Got a huge Workload I need to get done and if I had the game there would probably be no hope of the work getting done.
Mind you I am so excited to finally get my hands on the game.
Then I can roam the vast world.
Which Is something I rather enjoy doing in these type of games that have huge worlds.

I'm in a similar boat, but I have the game now anyways. It'll just be a matter of restraint.

 

[Jaedrik]

To be fair nothin'. That's selfish as heck, even if he didn't realize he'd said the opposite.
IP is a load of bologna anyways, just ppl tryna put their competition down.

I'm in a similar boat, but I have the game now anyways. It'll just be a matter of restraint.

Do your best, you two @DoodleDuck97. The more self control we have, the better our lives.

 

[SuperMii3D]

Im getting Xenoblade X for Xmas, but Im eagerly awaiting my Dream Team on the 9th

like i said earlier, it's generally unsurprising because of the nature of the game awards
rocket league's also multiplat and pretty popular on twitch etc? so yeah
i'd wager that undertale will be "more important" in the long run but i understand it

 

[powerprotoman]

now my vote is for yoshi mitsu....because reasons

now then lets take a look at 5 other 3rd party characters who COULD get in for each company
*ill be using all the arbitrary fan rules for this so no sonic characters, no capcom characters, no mii costumes ect ect*

Spoiler: SEEEEEEEGA!

Nights (Nights into dreams)
Joe Musashi (shinobi)
Bahn (fighting vipers)
Ulala (space channel 5)
Aiai (super monkey ball)
Beat (jet set radio)

Spoiler: Namco

Nightmare (soul calibur)
Wonder Momo (wonder momo)
Bravo man (bravo man)
Toby "kissy" Masuyo (Baraduke & mr driller)
Jin Kazama (tekken)

Spoiler: Squeenix

Erdrick/Loto (Dragon quest 3...yes thats his english and japanese name)
Chrono (chrono trigger)
Laura Croft (tomb raider)
Lenneth (valkyrie profile)
Neku (the world ends with you)

 

[jahkzheng]

I chose Nightmare, cause Soul Calibur is heavily underrated compared to it's bigger sibling Tekken and Nightmare is awesome. Too bad Namco screwed over the SCV developers in favor of SF X Tekken.

And no Guilty Gear? For shame! And yes, Guilty Gear has been on a Nintendo system.

If we're talking fighting game representation for Namco... I'd go with Yoshimitsu. Tekken AND SC rep. Plus I love that character and he'd have a truly bizarre and unique moveset that's kind of hard imagining being translated to Smash.

@Solfpon I think I know the problem. Check your inventory, willing to bet you stuck one in the Collectopedia since getting everything.

False alarm apparently, thank you good ol' Chugga!

Got XCX myself and I haven't even started it yet. This an easy mistake to avoid?

Also, I haven't bothered to check yet, but is it true that you can change your avatar significantly in game after the initial creation? Asking since the lack of multiple save files means I might play around with my character in my one file if I can. Otherwise, getting it right in character creation the first time will be all the more important.

 

[Kenith]

I was surprised but I haven't played either so I can't say it was pleasant or unpleasant.
What didn't surprise me (even though I wanted Bloodborne to win) was Witcher 3 winning GOTY.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

My Fighting game character pick was easily Fulgore. Although Scorpion or Sub-Zero would be amazing too.

You can even change gender mid playthrough if you feel like it.

 

[Kenith]

Awesome.
Now I can have my avatar mysteriously die in a tragic gender-bending accident.

 

[jahkzheng]

That kind of freedom is really awesome. It's what I'd heard but wasn't certain. Thanks.

 

[Jaedrik]

ehhhh

EHHHHHH

I mean It'd break my immersion but I guess you don't buy those sorts of games if you want immersion.

 

[PushDustIn]

Changed the title so we could recognize Hanukkah, which starts tomorrow here in Japan land! Figured since there was Christmas specific titles, Hanukkah would be okay too.

Spoiler

I'm agnostic...but I think it's important to recognize the other holidays besides Christmas for this Holiday season.

 

[Fenriraga]

Just saying Chaunkah out loud makes me hungry for some reason...

Chaunkah Chip Cookie...

mmmmmmm...

 

[Solfiner]

Spent 14 hours today playing X


No ****ing regrets

 

[Kenith]

Perhaps the title should just have "the Holidays".

What's it like.
Tell me what it's like

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I think I got the flu

 

[Z25]

I think we are civilized enough to have each individual holiday represented in the title, unless someone objects to it.

 

[Retroend]

I think we are civilized enough to have each individual holiday represented in the title, unless someone objects to it.

i don't celebrate any type of holiday, so it wouldn't matter to me if the title was changed to represent a certain holiday. to each their own.

 

[Z25]

Also, I just watched this:

Almost as ridiculous as the WWE Meets Scooby Doo movie, but not going to lie, I enjoyed it xD.

 

[Chrono.]

Bruh after playing 8 hours of X I got to check out the first Xenoblade.

Need to save up some cash for the 3D version.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

I love how the most upvoted thread on /r/smashbros is someone asking how to activate a final smash on Smash 3DS XD

[Godzillathewonderdog]

I've played that exact game on Wii, it's great

Godzillathewonderdog what kind of error message are you getting, and did you look into what I PMed you?

And thanks for the well wishes, everyone. I will be heading to urgent care very shortly to get an X-Ray. Hopefully it's nothing too serious...

The main problem is that it's not detecting the access point.
I'm getting the error code 8001000A as well as 80710102. I think there is an easier way to get the DLC back, I just need to connect to the internet. -_-

I don't know what happened, but I hope you're ok.

 

[Fenriraga]

Wait what? You can change your appearance and stuff mid-game?

Wish someone had told me that before I spent an hour trying to decide what I wanted to be/look like for the next 200+ hours :V

 

[PushDustIn]

I think I got the flu

Feel better! This goes for everyone, but it's important to take care of yourself, tis the season to get sick!

Spoiler

I might have a cold myself. ;_; working with kids exposes you to a lot of germs.

I usually celebrate Christmas with my family, but this year I'll be celebrating it in Japan...with my cat, Kuma. I can't afford a plane ticket home so I'll probably do the Japanese thing and order KFC and watch movies all day. I might do some streaming or something to keep company, not sure yet.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I saw potential 2nd fighting game fighter talk. Chunners or GTFO

 

[Champ Gold]

I'm celebrating the holidays by just relaxing and watching sports and hopefully playing new Smash DLC

 

[finalark]

I'm celebrating Star Wars by re-watching the entire series in chronological order. I just finished Episode I tonight.

Oh yeah, and Christmas is pretty cool too or something.

 

[KenboCalrissian]

Wish someone had told me that before I spent an hour trying to decide what I wanted to be/look like for the next 200+ hours :V

I'm wondering when that and the multiplayer options open up. I've hit the point where I'm doing sidequests, I thought I'd have that stuff open by now.

 

[New_Dumal]

The finest thing about Christmas is that the exams will be over.
I can't wait for the moment I will be able to hear "School's Out" with that good feeling in my heart.
Then I will marry with Xenoblade Chronicles X and have little Xeno's with it....
Play until my fingers hurt... and more.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Does anyone here celebrate Holidays other than Christmas?

I'd like to know what you do.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

I'm wondering when that and the multiplayer options open up. I've hit the point where I'm doing sidequests, I thought I'd have that stuff open by now.

I'm looking around and all I can find is that it unlocks around when you get to NLA.

Not sure other than that

If/When 5mash comes around, who would you like to see or think would be likely as newcomers? Strictly Nintendo since there's so many different routes 3rd-parties could take (as evidenced by pretty much all of them haha). I would go with:

Spoiler

Toad
Bandana Dee
Inklings
FE Fates character/Anna
Xenoblade X character
King K. Rool
Savvy Stylist
Wonder Red
Advance Wars character (Andy/Sami)
Isaac
Medusa
Takamaru
Sukapon
Anthony Higgs (Samus-ZSS hybrid semi-clone)
Impa (Sheik-Ike hybrid semi-clone)
Dixie Kong (Diddy Kong semi-clone)
Alph (Olimar semi-clone)
Isabelle (Villager semi-clone)

This is a mixture between wants and likeliness, but it overall gives a pretty good spread. Impa and Anthony Higgs would be "gateway semi-clones", qualifying just barely for the definition since they combine aspects of two different veterans. Savvy Stylist and Sukapon would be the unexpected WFT and DHD characters that are respectively a big modern franchise rep and a retro Nintendo rep. Takamaru would be the retro rep, while Dixie, Alph, and Isabelle would all receive the clone/semi-clone treatment to be playable characters due to their popularity. I don't personally know who from XCX would be included (though I figure it'd prob alt be Elma), and an FE Fates character could be included, but I'd rather personally see Anna as one of the mainstay franchise mascots that's appeared in every game and is popular.

Impa is a semi-clone in the sense that she'd take a lot of inspiration from her Hyrule Warriors moveset, which basically puts her as a Sheik-Ike hybrid with the giant sword and being a ninja.

Anthony Higgs I basically see as balance between Samus and Zamus that uses ice moves. Gives him just enough differentiation while still being able to take the majority of his moveset from theirs.

Wolf would return, Lucina would be decloned, Dark Pit would get the semi-clone treatment a la Luigi/Ganondorf/Falco/etc.

I think it's way too early to say what characters will be likely for Smash 5.
I could give you a list for if it's due for a year or two from now, but it will likely begin development in 6-7 years time.

We're also all terrible at predictions so...

 

[Fenriraga]

...They're pronouncing Nopon differently than they did in Xenoblade Chronicles.

WHY CAN LOCALIZATION TEAMS NEVER STAY CONSISTENT WITH CRAP LIKE THIS. Ugh, it's insignificant yeah, but it's also irritating.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Whelp. The girl has a boyfriend accordingly to a mutual friend.

Oh well...
