  • This is an interesting video on how permadeath in Fire Emblem has changed throughout the years.

    From the perspective of narrative, the big issue with permadeath isn’t really killing story relevance for side characters (as some Fire Emblem fans would complain), but rather that characters that can truly die in gameplay (as opposed to retreating when defeated) rarely have their deaths appropriately acknowledged in the story in any way, shape, or form. This can create a sense of ludonarrative dissonance where a friend, sibling or a lover can die due to permadeath and their loved ones doesn’t react in story. This is another factor encouraging a “no one dies” playstyle.

    (This dissonance isn’t as strong in the earlier FE games because the side characters were barely characterised)
    One way to buff Zelda for the next Smash title is to incorporate the Light Arrow into her normal attacks for further range. Considering she has been among the bottom in all tiers since Melee, she could use some buffs. For one, she does not need her forward air and her back air to be the same.

    Zelda is perfectly fine in Ultimate tbh and is honestly one of the better characters in the game. Her only issue is dealing with the awful dodge mechanic and how it pretty much negates fundamentals. It's just that her players refuse to play to her strengths and thus engender extreme inefficiency in her play. The fact that everyone still struggles with fighting her despite proclaiming she's so bad shows how good she actually is even with poor usage of her abilities.

    Fair and Bair being the same is actually really helpful when it comes to her play even if it doesn't seem like it should be. Having a Fair that's more combo oriented isn't really useful when you look at the rest of her kit. Having a Fair that can give substantial amounts of stage control while still doing significant damage is.

    On a personal note, I'm starting to feel like BOTW is becoming oversaturated even if it's still newer than the older Zelda games lol. It makes me want to resist putting more BOTW aesthetics in the game. Maybe I was just never big on BOTW aesthetics in the first place.

    The RAR Phantom displacement tech is actually incredible for dealing with projectiles that don't phase through shields (e.g. ROB laser). My main controller broke and I've been forced to use my box controller on the rare times I play this awful game anymore and being unable to perform the tech at higher levels of play really hurts.

    I meant when fighting Zelda. Offline its pretty fine to fight her, but online its a struggle because everything feels like your wading through mud while you have to deal with both Zelda and Phantom at the same time. For offline its a healthy if someone bland design, for online (the way a majority of players play) its a pretty toxic design.

    In case it wasn't clear, the first part of my post was directed at OP and in general while everything after your name was meant to be directed to you. I actually had a different poster in mind when I was talking about other people having trouble fighting her. He was trying to have his cake and eat it too by calling Zelda bad and then blaming it on "cheese" that he lost to her lol.
    I’m still annoyed after all this time at how little gameplay difference Dark Samus, Richter and Daisy have from the characters they were cloned from. They are just glorified alternate costumes.
    Hey True Blue, so it seems that the Ryu and Roy leak is true. Can't believe it took me over two hours to get into the e-shop to purchase them.

    Anyways, looking forward to the Street Fighter V news coming up this week?

    I'm sorta meh. Though Ryu's trailer was incredibly well done.
    Have you heard about the rumours that Roy and Ryu for Smash?

    What are your thoughts of it? Do you think Roy and Ryu will be making a Smash appearance based on the rumours?

    After getting over the state of being initally a bit annoyed that we were getting two characters from the same third-party company, I was wondering how Ryu's established moveset would translate into Smash.

    I hope to see Roy decloned.
    dezeray112
    dezeray112
    Well, I too am hoping for Roy to have a more unique moveset.

    As for Ryu, you can say I was pretty surprised about his inclusion even though I did not expect another 3rd party character from Capcom. I am pretty much expected to see iconic moves such as hadouken, shoryuken etc within his moveset.

    I'd probably say we'll wait and see what comes up soon since E3 is under two months away.
    Hey True Blue, did you watch the latest Nintendo Direct? Which character would you want to choose within the Smash Bros. Ballot?
    True Blue Warrior
    True Blue Warrior
    I want Isaac, Snake and the Ice Climbers as well as Wolf.

    I have to admit I'm struggling to consider which character(s) I want to see through the Smash Ballot as there are plenty of characters I want to see in Smash. Are we allowed to vote multiple times or just once?

    Anyways, at least this does show signs that Smash Wii U and 3DS are getting ongoing support.
    Let's be friends and exchange our 3DS friends codes into our list!

    Okay, so let me know until you'll have a 3DS/Wii U verisons and especially for me shall get New Nintendo Wii U Mario Kart 8 & Nintendo Land Bundle packages and New Nintendo 3DS XL Majora's Mask Limited Edition on my 23rd Birthday on March 28th in T-I-M-E!
    Hi True Blue, what are your thoughts on the 4Chan CSS (Character Select Screen) leak?

    Well, looks like the entire roster is unveiled and the leak is indeed legit. Did you pre-order your copy of the game by any chance?

    Nah, I'm planning on getting the Wii U version. I'm not happy about the cuts, though. That said, I am happy over the characters that I got that I did indeed like.

    Same here. I've already pre-ordered the 3DS version a few days ago. But other than that, today was full of surprises and shocks at the same time.

    Its still going to be strange not having the likes of the Ice Climbers returning. But, just like you've said I'm still happy with the characters that I got.
    Hey True Blue, how've you been? What's your view of the characters in Smash Bros. Wii-U/3DS so far?
    True Blue Warrior
    True Blue Warrior
    Doubt it. At most, I can see a veteran reveal. Personally, one of the characters I'm hoping gets revealed soon is the Ice Climbers considering the Polar Bears, which comes from their franchise, has already been confirmed to appear as Smash Run enemies.

    I'm having the same thoughts here.

    But did you read the claims made by Miahstorm2 saying that Bandana Dee is the character to be unveiled at Comic-con?
    True Blue Warrior
    True Blue Warrior
    Yes, indeed. I'm skeptical, but hey, we will have to see if anything good is shown there.
