I would be interested in meeting up to play Smash casually. I don't have much interest in competitive tournaments, but I do strive to improve at the game. I also messaged zoidbergenstein, so we might see each other if we both meet up with his group. I'm not sure why you need demographic...

You guys aren't reading this right: http://imgur.com/92NOfCW Ignore the line break and it reads "Mewtwo, Mach Rider, Impa, Dixie, and Ridley DLC was fake just to **** with you *******." I think it's intentionally misleading, and the leaker is trying to mess with us. He already made us crack a...

When you're inventing complicated theories to justify why the leaked roster might not include all the characters, take a step back and remember Occam's razor. The simplest explanation is often correct. In this case, the theory with the fewest assumptions is that there was one leaker who took a...

I didn't mean they literally threw them in at the end because they wouldn't fit anywhere, I mean Sakurai clearly considers "last minute clones" an independent category. They all have something in common so it is plausible that they are grouped together. If the CSS had Pikachu, Meta Knight, and...

You're entitled to believe what you want, but I'm just trying to help temper your expectations for the inevitable disappointment when the game comes out. We're looking at the final roster, and I would bet money on that if I could because I know that I would win. The leaker had images or videos...

You are misinformed, the roster is almost certainly complete. The people speculating that there might be more characters don't have any more information than the rest of us, and Neo Zero just confirmed that to me in a private message. Keep in mind that the only believable part of the leak is...

I know, if you read the first paragraph in my post you will see that I say that even though a woman designed the costume, Sakurai was her boss. He asked her to create that outfit. She was just doing her job, and may very well have been disgusted by it.

Yes, this outfit is canon. But it was a mistake back then and it's still a mistake now. Samus is a fictional character who has no agency. Her appearance, persona, and actions are entirely determined by game designers. Most of those designers happen to be male, and they were likely taking...

Honestly, this has been my biggest worry since Smash 4 was announced. If Sakurai only allows timed matches in For Glory mode, it will prove how out of touch he is with the reality of Smash players. I've been playing the game casually since 64, and I've never met anyone - casual or competitive -...

I'm not sure if you're looking for a serious tournament or just casual fun, but I met up with another PM player from Smashboards about a week ago in West Philly. I'm not very good, but if you want to hang out and Smash I'm pretty sure we'd both be interested.

I think this is a great point. Unless Nintendo and Sakurai directly reach out to the Smash community, well known media sites like IGN are going to be the best way to express our concerns publicly. We can post thoughtful, in depth analyses of Smash 4 game mechanics on Smashboards and Reddit...

I'm just learning Project M, but I don't have anyone to play with right now. I live in West Philly but I work in Center City. Let me know if you want to smash sometime, although I would understand if you aren't interested in playing with someone substantially worse than you.

Honestly, not having platforms is a mere quibble compared to the lack of stock matches for random games online. Does anyone actually play on time mode for more than a few hours, even if they are brand new to the series? The entire competitive community (and even casuals like myself) has...

Alright, I need to step in briefly to talk about the most interesting "leak" I have seen, the Trip to Namco leak by Toots. This one is notable because of the insane amount of detail the leaker put into it, including actual photos of Namco. I will apply the questions I proposed in my last post...
