You know what I just realized?

As soon as one small thing comes up that supposedly gives chances, even something that doesn't connect to anything, everyone jumps aboard the band wagon and agrees.

But if its something that hints a character may not be playable, everyone protests, and look for alternatives.
What the hell are you talking about? Please elaborate.

Fine, let's create a support thread for Mr. Dual Screen ¬¬
Sure, why not? I'm glad that you agree with me.

Are you implying I am a fanboy? Because I don't even own any of these potetial characters games

I kind of had that idea too.. Because you joined this forum about the same time I did, and I thought that I was an overly active member. But when I looked at how many posts you had made, I saw someting like over 4,000.
How do you post 4,000 times in 3 months?

Anyway, sorry.



Chidosengan, I noticed this too. It actually annoys me to an extent.

Certainly.

In my first statement, I said that people here would believe a character can be confirmed even by the appearance of the smallest thing. For example, the DS logo. Now we have a bunch of people saying that the guy from Brain Age and the Mii now stand a huge chance thanks to this, even if the Logo doesn't even represents those franchises properly. Also, people are even coming up with unrealistic characters, Mr. Stylus and a DS with legs.

The other statement I said that even if a character can be brutally hinted that he/she/it won't be playable, fans will won't accept it and will protect it till death. Case in point: Tom Nook in background. At first, everyone said it can't be him because "he is not in his familiar clothes." He then later appeared in clothes that he wears a bit more often, a suit. People still say that it still could be those little ones from his store. Then finally he was shown in his "familiar clothes" in the trailers. And even then people still disagree. They all come up with alternatives like "he will come out of the background a fight." Something that is very unlikely to happen in the end.

This whole boards is about speculating, why not worry about it?
Because you guys keep getting in fights with eachother, calling eachother unnecessary names, and telling eachother that you "fail", over this specific topic. It's never pleasant, and everyone just gets mad with eachother..

It's still a possibility that can be debated and that's why I created this thread. Not to state there will be one. If it happens, it happens, if it doesn't...I won't care. It was just created to open up the possibilities to characters people didn't exactly think fit what they believed was worthy of being a character. I don't even own any of their games.

I'd like to see you point out one time that someone said the guy from Brain Age and the Mii stand a huge chance. The logo just prompted some speculation, we never said a DS character was confirmed.

Also, people are even coming up with unrealistic characters, Mr. Stylus and a DS with legs.
If by unrealistic, you mean that it is unlikely that the character would be in Brawl, that is an entirely subjective. How many people thought a Pictochat stage would have been "realistic"? Sure, the characters are quite silly, but there's no reason why they couldn't be in Brawl. Don't get me wrong, I don't really think that we will see those characters in Brawl, but you never know with Sakurai, there's nothing wrong with some harmless speculation.

The other statement I said that even if a character can be brutally hinted that he/she/it won't be playable, fans will won't accept it and will protect it till death.

I see. Well, this part is irrelevent to this thread, but I shall give my opinion on this nonetheless. I agree that the clothes argument was pretty silly. I stand by this, though, a character isn't deconfirmed until it is officially deconfirmed. As for the "he will come out of the backgrounf the fight" argument.... you never know. I have some reasons why I think Tom Nook could possibly do this. Again, I don't think this will happen, but you are acting like Brawl is a normal and predictable game.

Oh, I see, so what you are saying is that you live in some sort of fantasy world where all the characters in Super Smash Bros. are real. I bet you ran into Link on the street the other day and took some rides in the Halberd with MetaKnight. Yeah, you're crazy.

If you didn't know in what kind of context I used the word "real" in then you're not very bright.

As in, such character hasn't been created.
I see, well, first of all, I think that is silly to describe that as being "real". Second of all, Since when was there a rule that a character had to have been created before to be in Smash Bros.? I don't know if you realize this, but Mr. Game & Watch didn't exist before Smash Bros.

So, rejoice, you can still create your thread. :)

That is not a silly way to use the word "real" it's pretty correct... ¬¬

Mr. Game And Watch did have an avatar to draw from, where the hell am I supposed to get pictures of Mr. Dual Sc



WHY THE HELL AM I ARGUING ABOUT MR. DUAL SCREEN?

Anyway, I seriously don't think there is any character that could fall under that icon.

Right, you probably shouldn't use the term "real" when referring to fictional characters. Mario isn't anymore "real" than Mr. Dual Screen.

Try looking at a picture of a DS....

I don't know.

That's cool. Still, you can't say that it is impossible. So, we shall continue to speculate to our hearts content.

We clearly lack enough evidence to make a conviction at this point. We're all just getting riled up for the sake of entertaining our testosterone levels.

Tomorrow's another day, another update. Next time we get some information that pertains to a DS or Wii, we'll be able to analyze it. For now, we're just setting ourselves up for a downfall.

In the end, there's no real way to know until Decembe- oh... February 10th. T.T

(Bit of digression: Is it possible there could be an item or AT from the DS universe?)

The Nintendog COULD use the DS ICon

It could... But what I'm getting lost in, is why would an AT even have an icon? I can't imagine a situation in when it would it ever reach the screen.
The whole argument, arguable as it may be, it's perfectly pointless.
Samurai Goroh is an AT with an icon, it would be no different than that

I don't think Nintendog will have a profile, since they mentioned him already in the Assist Trophy update.

You say that now, but wait until Sakurai wakes up one morning with an urge to piss us all off. That's the day we'll see a profile for the screen-hugger.
...and then the next day he gives us Meta-Knights official attacks...but only 2 of them

I really don't think Sakurai can be that evil, but if he really has nothing else to update, than I suppose we could see the Nintendog.

One thing I hope you all know (especially the thread creator) is that the Touch Generations logo you see in the first post is the NORTH AMERICAN version of the logo. The Japanese and Europeans have a different logo:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/29/Touch!genjapan.JPG

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/67/Touch!.JPG

Since the game is being released in many languages/regions, and it would be unecessary to create more than one logo for separate regions, it is very likely that a universal icon for Touch Generations was chosen as the DS symbol. So really, expect the DS icon to be used for the Nintendogs Assist Trophy, and for anything involving stuff like Brain Age, Cooking Mama, Elite Beat Agents, etc...

Heres what we know as fact:
-Pictochat has a stage
-The Icon accompanying the Pictochat level is a DS
-The Pictochat stage can play music from THE WII AND BRAINAGE (everyone overlooks this and focuses on the icon for some reason) and has more (note the scroll arrows)

Icon Theories
-Possible that the Icon exists soley for the level
-Possible that the Icon exists to represent the Touchware Games
-Possible that the Icon exists to represent Hardware

Music Theories
-Representitive bc Pictochat doesn't have enough musical selection
-Music as Touchware and/or Hardware related

The music indicates that this Icon is for more then just Pictochat. Everyother level that has been shown has had music that relates to the games as selection. This one has a wider variety...leading to back to the touchware theory (if Wii games count as touchware) and a hardware touchware combo (if the Wii doesn't count as touchware).

While a Pictochat character isn't very likely, a touchware one is. We don't even know what the icon stands for yet and people are already saying a character is less then likely. Couple that with the fact that we've never seen a unique icon without a character yet! If you're going to count an AC or DS rep out, you better be counting Falcon out too .

Anyways...I think it's obvious from the above theories that the character to go with Pictochat is none other then A Mii version of Dr.Kaniwashima (uh?) from Brainage weilding a stylus whilst he throws Dr. Lobe and Nintendogs at other PCs (Hey, I liked the Mii with Stylus idea, what can I say? And throwing Nintendogs at people is just plain cool.)

Because it's a DS... it's hardware. What character would be under that symbol? It's hardware...
Why is it that they can make a stage based on "hardware", but not a character?

Sonic The Hedgedawg
The possibility of a character is completely unnefected by the symbol.


are we in agreement? good.
No, we're not. I still say every icon, except maybe the Smash icon, will have a character to go with it.
