Astride a magic potato alongside Mario. ________ S
You are in a room that contains only a yo-yo. The string on the yo-yo is two feet long. The body of the yo-yo weighs 6 ounces. How can you make yourself sleep with only the yo-yo? It's not hypnosis, since it isn't sleep, and it's not choking yourself, since the string would break.
The answer is:
Do an around-the-world trick
with
the yo-yo once every five minutes for 72 hours.
The
reason you have
to
do a trick is that there isn't a real
word
for just sort of bobbing the yo-yo normally
.

You should read what you write before you post.
I do, many times over. Now, if only others would do the same.

Dragons are not special because they are so common nowadays. You practically said it yourself.
The reverse, actually: they are commonly used because they are special. People like Dragons, hence they see a lot of use in popular mediums. Things don't need to be uber-original only-used-once ideas to be special.

And if they were so "unusual and popular", Ridley would have been confirmed for Melee, not Brawl.
Melee was a rushed game made in less than a year to ensure it was launched at the same time as the Gamecube. We're lucky we got as many characters as we did in that. There was no way they could make a complex character like Ridley in addition to everybody else in the little time they had.

Nowadays, things DO have to be orginal to be special. Look at Halo and other innovative games. And new things would have to be brought to old school things like Mario to make it rock again.

*coughMarioGalaxycough*

You are partially right, though. Dragons are used a lot because they are liked, but new things would have to be done to games with dragons to keep people's interest because it has been done so many times before.

But look at Ridley: Plasma and different forms. And being resurrected numerous times.

Like that's never been done before.

Ridley fans, just cause PT is gunna win doesnt mean you can try to cheat by voting twice. He keeps track! I Think all People who, clearly, try to vote twice should end up in a demote of a point.

Stop trying to vote twice. If it starts to become a problem, I'll just take away both your votes. I obviously check your previous posts to see if you've voted yet.

I'm a Ridley fan. I don't go spamming the forums and hating on other characters. Please dont generalise.

nope Geno fans are worse!
Really? I haven't gone into the Geno thread.

I guess I'm prejudiced against Ridley fans because I've dealt with their attitude problems.

@ ~N9NE~

If you don't spam and flame, then you aren't a true Ridley fan lol

I wasn't saying all ridley fans do that, but I was saying nearly all the people that do that ARE Ridley fans.
What you mean like Alpha noob? And Aguasatori?

Your earlier post seemed that you were suggesting that all Ridley fans were like that.

Ignore them.

Sorry, but we kinda have to. We cant just not generalise because of the 1 or 2 well behaved fans. :psycho:
But you my friend, get my respects.
No you don't have to generalise. Generalising is just being naive.

I hope that's a joke. The 'lol' would indicate that.

Anyway enough discussion about Ridley fans. Let us allow the voting to continue so Flying Shooster can count the votes easier.

I absolutely disagree. Things which are original can just as easily be bad as they can be good. Original != special, original just = new.

Halo? Innovative? Laughable. Save for that shield system (which was innovative for all of one game, and not that big of a deal even then), its a generic FPS.

*coughMarioGalaxycough*
*blinks* Mario Galaxy brought very little new to the series. The spinning launchers were about it. Its a great game because its very, very fun, like nearly all Mario games. Hell, Mario Sunshine brought as much or more new to the series as did Galaxy in the form of FLUDD, Bowser Jr, and the paintbrush, but that doesn't make it the better game.

You keep telling yourself that, and watch as people continue to flock to books, movies, and games which feature those creatures. Dragons haven't lost their appeal over the millenniums they've been in existence in the human imagination, they're not suddenly going to do so now.

I'm thinking the Krystal thread is starting to become deserving of flames and spam
