Character Discussion Thread

It is also not the first time Pac-Man was compared to Hitler... I remember another detractor doing just that before Pac-Man was confirmed.

Here it is.

I knew there was something familiar about the comparison.

And the same joke picture I posted still applies!

 

[Arcadenik]

You fired the first blow by saying that Waluigi was a stupid or otherwise illogical choice of a newcomer.

But they are VERY VERY similar, except for two differences.

The official handling of it by Operation Rainfall for the three games, and Nintendo aknowleging the fan demand that pushed the localization, instead of the joke Mother 3 has become.

Wouldn't it be amazing if Nintendo announced Mother 3 for Wii U Virtual Console to hype people for Lucas DLC in SSB4 at E3 2015?

This is getting out of hand.

Everyone drop it.

Talk about something else. Any more discussion of this will be punished.

How about this.

Think of five possible idle animations for your most wanted DLC characters, regardless of likelihood.

I thought Porky was more like Stalin

Porky's Hitler because his army is a spoof of the Star Wars Empire, meant to parallel Nazi forces and basically brainwashed people with promises of better lives to the point of converting them to do horrible acts without questioning his leadership as he sought out to eradicate a specific race of people.

Edit: For anyone interested, search Porky in the K. Rool thread to read where we went into a fairly in-depth comparison of Nintendo villains to the main dictators of WW2

 

[Schnee117]

The Pigmasks do the whole Nazi salute and Porky's leadership is very much a Dictatorship.
K Rool is Stalin if anything.

What kind of question is that? You've been following the thread, I've seen your name at the bottom, logged into the thread, so you know what went down here.

Assumptions are fallacious too, you know. I get notified of what goes on in this thread, but that doesn't mean I always read every single post. I only started reading this argument recently.

The problem here isn't the sources, the problem is that people clearly can't accept it when I give them a source that proves something. They come up with unrelated reasons to say they aren't valid.

I will disagree then. The only sources I remember hearing about are Miiverse and Kotaku. Miiverse definitely is not a credible source (I actually wrote a post why). And Kotaku has been addressed by someone else.

In the context I used it, Miiverse is more than credible.

The context I used it was showing which of Sakurai's character posts were best received.

Rosalina is Miiverse's favourite character by virtue of the likes the post has. What other reason would people like her reveal trailer, than if they were pleased by her reveal?

That's how it's a credible source. The community may make bad posts at times, requesting anime characters and what not. But liking a post has a very black and white implication.

Okay.

Think of five possible idle animations for your most wanted DLC characters, regardless of likelihood.

This:

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Notice how I not only never said 'stupid and illogical' but also said Waluigi needs to be either in his own series or in the mainseries Mario games before getting in. He's a stupidly popular Mario character, AKA Nintendo's best franchise. This isn't overrating his impact. And if we, fans like many others, like the character before memes were even a thing, how are we misinterpreting anything here? Not to mention,You said Waluigi wouldn't be wellrecieved solely based on Pac-Man. Again, without reliable proof about Pac-Man's sales, you can't say it. For all we know, he@s the same as Link. You also compared one of the most evil people to ever exist on the planet to a video game character who's whole body was a pizza.

That's not synonymous with "stupid and illogical".

I only said ye were overrating his impact and misinterpreting the reason people like him. And then I gave my opinion that he likely won't show up. That's all.



If the others are immature children, I guess so.

Guess I learned something new about everyone here today. :L



Calling him a meme character wasn't an insult, I was just stating what he was by dictionary/trope definition.

SORRY SWAMPY GAMEPAD TYPING IS SLOW

PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I'LL TAKE 20 BIDERPS!
Idle animations? Bandana Dee tightening his Bandana, Ridey looking menacingly with a disturbing smile, K.Rool scratching his belly, Shantae tightening her top, Anna doing her classic pose...That's all I have for now

Your post is pretty vague on what "that" is, because there were multiple things being discussed.

Not being cheeky here, just saying.

I assumed that post was OK because myself and A10theHero were being civil (person my last post was directed at).

No...........................................................................(I lied)

Shantae tightening her top,

You are being cheeky.

Regardless, no more discussing Pac-Man or Waluigi or anything related to that conversationfor a while.

Everyone got way too excited.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Platinum's game is likely Vanquish 2. Sad times. Diplomacy has failed

 

[A Distant Demon]

idle animations for Wonder red

1. some form of reference to one of viewtiful joe's poses.
2. adjusting the vulcan gauntlets the way one fixes ann arm brace or sleeves
3. jumping up in down in place like when people stretch. pretty much one of Ringabel's into animations from bravely default
4. forming the wonder Hand and having it malfunction
5. P-star buzzes around him like navi or another zelda fairy beeping before flying off.

I know Wonder Red is my #3 even though swamp said most wanted but I felt like talking about a wonderful one and idel animations for Ridley are pretty bland.

Platinum's game is likely Vanquish 2. Sad times. Diplomacy has failed

platinum posts a lot of weird stuff. this is no different. one could argue that because they said "boost to get through" they are referencing Star Fox's quote "Use the boost to get through"

Honestly one second "W102 Confirmed" from 1 tweet and then another tweet "Vanquished 2 confirmed!" as if both dont counteract each other.

 

[ChikoLad]

You are being cheeky.

No I'm not, I specifically stated I wasn't for that reason.

Don't make assumptions like that, it's not becoming of a mod.

Shantae's crouched buttwiggle.

Ganon snorting.

Waluigi having his eyes glint purple a la Mario Tennis 64

Black Mage falling asleep before having to poke his hat back up with his staff.

Inkling doing a little bit of a dance.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Oh....

That's actually in her games. Not to mention lower age rating than Smash. Otherwise doing the dance animation from Shantae1

 

[Schnee117]

Gonna help swampy out here. So are you guys excited for E3?

For multiple reasons.
Xenoblade release date.
Star Fox.
Smash DLC
More stuff from Platinum (Scalebound and a new game)
Halo 5
Dark Souls 3
Battlefront EA (pls don't **** up)
Gears of War
Mass Effect possibility
SMT x FE possibility
Mad Max game
And many more.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Battlefront EA (pls don't **** up)

Sorry dear, that's asking too much I'm afraid

 

[Scamper52596]

I'll try. Idle animations for Tetra:

1. Crosses arms while tapping foot impatiently.
2. Inspects pirate sword before sheathing.
3. Winks towards the screen while waving.
4. Pulls out the Pirate's Charm and consults it.
5. Balances a Hyoi Pear on top of head out of boredom.

Did I do good?

We could always just talk via PM or DarkSpyro if you want.

Also, we all know what Waluigi's idle animation would be:

Or would that be his victory pose?

Oh, and I am very excited for E3 because, well, Nintendo. I'm also curious what this could mean: http://nintendoinquirer.com/2015/06/amiibo-support-may-be-coming-to-skylanders-superchargers/

 

[Burruni]

To be fair, it's less some cheap and pandering shaking of the hips for some kind of adolescent pleasure, but it's more like a cat preparing to pounce.

Edit:

Here's how it looked in 8-bit. I have no idea why Wario's there. Ironically this is the "lewdest" I think the animation's looked.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

But the butt wiggle is a crouch animation, and then her crawl

 

[ChikoLad]

Other than Smash, I'm curious/excited about/expecting:

-Hyrule Warriors 3DS
-Uncharted 4 gameplay
-Mario & Sonic Rio Olympics. Specifically looking forward to the Rosalina reveal (she's gonna be in a leotard....maybe :V), and a new adventure mode
-Paper Mario Wii U
-The perpetual hope of a Rosalina game being announced
-Amiibos, I definitely want a game revolving around them.
-Maybe Sony will bring back Crash this year...
-Yooka-Laylee
-Mario Maker

There's more but I can't remember.

 

[Burruni]

Hey... It's... still idle.
Just idle while crouched.
Like Pichu.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Only if there is a very rare chance of a seagull coming and eating it.

Honestly i cant say what im excited for beacuse its mostly things not confirmed.
AKA new IPs or revivals
Kid Icarus? doubtful at best though. . .

-what retro and platinum are working on
-star fox
-xenoblade x
-bravely second maybe?
-smash
-kingdom hearts

everything else is either a new IP or i cant remember

formerly i would have battlefront 3 up there but EA has already made me hate it.

 

[Schnee117]

Idle animations

Nightmare (Soul Calibur) - Reaches out with his right arm and clenches his fist menacingly
Reyn - Rolls his right arm as in Xenoblade
K Rool - Scratches belly or adjusts the cape

Sorry dear, that's asking too much I'm afraid

Just don't mess up anymore then

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

People are mentioning Xenoblade Chronicles X...So exited!

 

[Burruni]

My hopes for E3 though?

1) Don't expect Xenoblade X, it's... been released in Japan, at best expect to get a western release date.

>Bravely 2nd
>KH3
>Wonderful 102
>Donkey Kong Country 3 ~ Kremling Komeback.
>Metroid 3DS Metroidvania game
>Mario Maker
>Pokemon Z
>Pokken news
>F-Zero 3DX
>Wario Land 5
...And Hyrule Warriors 3DS, obviously.

A possible date?!?...So excited!

 

[Bwill3002]

I have an idea for a character who probably has no chance, but how about "BABY YOSHI"
Baby Yoshi would be a unique Mario character with lots of potential, plus I already have his move-set worked out

Neutral b: Egg Lay (does the exact samething Yoshi's does) 3 damage
Side b: Bubble ( a long/ short ranged bubble attacked depending on how hard the button is hit) 8-12 damage
Up b: ballon burst ( Baby Yoshi fills up with air and burst horizontally with little vertical movement) 10-15 damage
Down b: Shine glow (Baby Yoshi charges a glow that stuns and damages opponents, this can be used for follow up attacks) 3-7 damage

Baby Yoshi is a floaty character that has a running speed a little slower than Yoshi's, and colors are blue, green, red, pink, orange, purple, yellow, and teal.

People probably expect the date and an English trailer for XC:X.
I want to know the English VAs so badly.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Honestly it really annoys me there is a hypothetical situation where my 3 favorite games of all time all are at e3 but it wont happen
Kid Icarus Uprising -Sakurai isnt working on it so who will?
X-might not ACTUALLY be there as burruni said. but this is still hype.
Wonderful 101- I still doubt it after the first failed.

the potential is there but it wont happen

off topic fun fact but the playstation was released exactly 1 year before my birthday and crash bandicoot was released 9 days before my birthday.
strange that I spent about 90% of my gaming career as a sony fanboy
