Social Mother of the Cosmos: Rosalina [General/Social] Thread (Closed)

[Krazy4Krash]

Also, how did you find out what Miiverse posts were the most Yeah'd in the Director's Room? Not that I don't believe it, but I can't find out where that information comes from.

I scrolled through the full Director's Room and those two posts I linked are only ones to have reached twenty-one thousand yeahs. I do wish there was an efficient way to arrange them by number.

EDIT: Dammit, new page. Everybody go read the last few posts before this.

Oh WOW, now that's dedication.

But it's funny - remember how people were saying, when Rosalina was revealed, that "UGH NOBODY WAS ASKING FOR HER WHERE'S DAISY OR TOAD OR RIDLEY"? Seems that's not the case at all (though to be fair, Kirby's role in the trailer may have helped? Not really sure). :V

Seriously though, Nintendo needs to make a Rosalina game at this point. If Super Princess Peach could sell over a million copies with not much of a push behind it (as far as I know), a Wii U Rosalina title easily could sell a few million, especially if they made the connection to Super Mario Galaxy really clear (both Galaxy games sold over ten million individually).

This also makes it all the more apparent that the Rosalina Amiibo should really have a much bigger supply of stock, and that she really should not be an exclusive. Nintendo would make a lot more money that way. Plus, the vague Elsa similarity could easily pull in unexpected shoppers, since Elsa toys are also quite sought after this holiday season.

EDIT: Since I know you guys are probably worried about whether or not ye can get Rosalina Amiibos, I will let out a secret I have been keeping (seems appropriate to give back to the community on Rosalina's Smash Anniversary) - Amazon Germany still has her in stock. I pre-ordered her from there last night, just in case my friend who works at a toy store cannot secure her for me.

http://www.amazon.de/amiibo-Smash-R...id=1418915915&sr=8-1&keywords=rosalina+amiibo

US users would have to pay a bit more than I did for the shipping I'd say, but if you are in a situation where she cannot be found at Target, then this is a nice back-up. Amazon Germany are actually really good for this kind of thing in general. They apparently get a decent amount of stock in when it comes to collector's items, but they are not well known by Americans or even people in the UK, as people probably don't realise that individual Amazon sites have different stocks. It's thanks to them I was able to get my hands on the Sonic Generations Collector's Edition back in 2011, which was quite limited and was selling very fast (only 12,000 copies of it were produced between both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions).

For reference, I'm getting her shipped to Ireland, so I am paying €23.21 for her including the shipping fee. However, the money has not been taken from my account yet. They don't charge you until it's shipped (mmy expected delivery date is 30th January - 2nd February).

There are a few other places places that sell her too. Play-Asia.com still has pre-orders open for her. No price is displayed, though all currently released Amiibos cost 19.99USD there.

http://www.play-asia.com/amiibo-sup...gure-rosetta-chiko-paOS-13-49-en-70-8dll.html

Also, in case anyone asks, Amiibos are not region locked. They can be bought from anywhere and work on any Wii U.

"UGH NOBODY WAS ASKING FOR HER WHERE'S DAISY OR TOAD OR RIDLEY"?

Siiiiigh. If only...

Ironically, I second main this character but there's nothing wrong with that anyway

 

[ChikoLad]

I have no problem with people wanting those characters I listed, it's just that a lot of people got angry at Rosalina's inclusion because she was "stealing their spot" in their eyes.

Clearly that wasn't the case, as Bowser Jr made it in anyway.

It is quite funny how people will respond to certain character reveals. While Rosalina and Bowser Jr. both made the cut, I still find it sad how Bowser Jr. got stuck with using his Koopa Clown Car, while his paintbrush was nothing more than his Final Smash. What makes the situation even more stupid is that the Koopalings can use the Shadow Mario Final Smash as well; they never disguised themselves as Mario at all.

 

[ChikoLad]

I actually really like the Clown Car idea, but it is odd how the Koopalings transform into Shadow Mario and use Jr's paintbrush. Takes away from Jr's uniqueness.

The Koopalings had staffs that perform magic spells, so I think they should have used those instead of the Paintbrush for the Final Smash.

That's the trouble with making the Koopalings mere palette swaps; they have to use the exact same animations as Bowser Jr.. At least Rosalina doesn't suffer from that problem.

The staffs shouldn't be a problem there though, as they could just use the same animation that Jr uses, just without the transformation. The staffs are one handed:

The magical energy coming from them could have easily been the paint.

It would really be no different to how people modded Peach's Final Smash in Brawl.

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

I do remember how my day went when Rosalina was revealed. It was probably my best reaction to any of the Smash newcomers.

So I heard there was a Nintendo direct on that day, so after school was done, I immediately went to the nintendo youtube channel and watched the nintendo direct.

Now, it's important to know that the USA version of the Nintendo direct didn't have the "Smash logo fire thing" and since the only time we saw newcomers was at e3, we didn't know what to expect from smash trailers yet.

So when Kirby air ride music played I was like, "OMG NEW KIRBY AIR RIDE?!?" then it show the mario gang riding in karts so I was like "KIRBY IN MARIO KART"

I should've suspected something when the animation portion was going on longer then a standard animation for a trailer. But I was just going on the ride.

So Luma came down, and I thought, "Aww, this is a cute little scene between Kirby and Luma."

Then Rosalina came down, and I was like, "Hi Rosali-

ROSALINA AND LUMA LAUNCH INTO BATTLE!

"-nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Then for the rest of the trailer, I just kept going "What." I was just so stunned that even when it went into Mario Kart 8, I just kept going "what?"

Even though Rosalina was a well like character of mine, I wanted Bowser Jr more at the time. I didn't know how to feel. I didn't even decide on maining her until a little before the Smash direct, when I really started liking how she played.

While not my favorite trailer, it's still up there in the best executed.

Snip

Thank you so so so very much for this information on amiibos. I'll make sure to try to get some hopefully when I get some money. <3

 

[ChikoLad]

If my friend can secure a Rosalina Amiibo for me, I will probably still take the one I ordered from Amazon Germany. But I will keep it in it's box so I can sell it. One of my best friend's online actually kinda wants her so he can practice against it when I'm not around to play against.

If anyone else here genuinely really wants her but ends up without her after release, I would actually be willing to sell it to someone in that situation too (I would charge them what I paid for it, so I wouldn't be ripping them off - it would mean paying a bit more than retail though, depending on where the customer lives).

If neither of those things happen, I may actually try to make an online tournament some day with a small entry fee, with rare Amiibos as prizes for the winners. I seem to have easy enough access to pretty much every Amiibo. Money is my only barrier, but if they make me money then that's not an issue.

 

[C3CC]

I remember that day too. I woke up and read on Twitter that there was a Direct going on, so I decided to check it out. Hyrule Warriors, good. The rest, good. And then the trailer began. I didn't know it was a Smash Bros trailer because it didn't have the fire slash at the beginning. I was kind of confused when I saw Kirby and Mario Kart together, so I wasn't sure of what was going on. When I saw Luma, I said "Ok, Rosalina has something to do with this. Let's see"...

And then my internet froze -___-

The next thing I saw was her gameplay, the part when she's ramming against Samus specifically. Yes, my stupid slow third-world internet ruined the moment when the "Rosalina & Luma launch into battle!" thing appeared. However, that didn't stop me from losing my ****. Rosalina is my second favorite character after Bowser from the Mario universe (which is my favorite Nintendo universe), and the thought of having them together (along with Yoshi, which is my third) in a Smash game was just too exciting. Heck, I still, to this day, after having had the game for a couple days, can't believe that she actually made it in. I thought she would never get past being an Assist Trophy.

She looked so original in her trailer I decided she was going to be my main. I didn't care if she wasn't my fighter type, I was going to main the **** out of this woman no matter what. Turns out that she does happen to be my fighter type: floaty and magic related, just like Lucas, Zelda and Mewtwo, my previous mains.

One thing that I did not like from the very beginning was her fighter name, though, and I still don't like it. "Rosalina & Luma". Come on, Luma, go away and stop stealing the spotlight. The instruction booklet even refers to her as just Rosalina. The crowd chants go "Rosalina! Rosalina!" and not "Rosalina and Luma". It's stupid but I can't help that it bothers me, and I'm aware that her being called that makes total sense, but I just don't like it. To make matters worse, people go and call her freaking Rosaluma. Ugh.

 

[ChikoLad]

While I don't mind the name and of course the idea of having the two of them together is part of what makes this fighter so fun, there is one pet peeve I have with Rosalina & Luma as a pair, and it's more to do with Smash fans - the mistaken assumption that Rosalina is an incompetent person that cannot fight on her own, and forces her children to do so, in Mario canon.

That is not true at all, even in the context of Smash. The Palutena's Guidance for Rosalina goes out of it's way to make it clear that the Lumas are just willingly fighting for her, and not of her request. They just want to, and she is not objecting to it for whatever reason.

And in actual Mario games, Lumas are merely associated with Rosalina as her children. She in no way relies on them to do anything she does, and she's completely supportive of them, and is simply all-powerful by herself.

THIS. It bothers me so much. One day my friend told me "Rosalina is good but she sucks without Luma", and I was like "What? Of course she doesn't". She's powerful and very useful on her own. Luma is just a bonus.

 

[mario123007]

Yeah today is the anniversary of Rosalina's confirmation. It's too bad that it happened before Yoshi, Diddy, and Wario were confirmed, as it would've been nice to see their faces in her trailer as well.

Oh, right! I was going to ask what will you guys do during Rosalina's 1st anniversary in Smash Bros. before, but I was too busy at the time.
Um.......I kind of hope that Yoshi and Diddy Kong in too. But Wario....meh..........

There was never any doubt that she was part of the main cast if the past year is anything to go by, but I feel this solidifies it.

I've always loved how Rosalina looks in the 3D World/Classic Mario artstyle (it's why I can't bring myself to change my 3DS theme), and I really hope Nintendo make more artwork of her in that style. In fact, I love that artstyle in general.

Spoiler

Also, to those people who say Rosalina has a flat chest compared to the other two, I will show them this image from now on, alongside various screenshots of games that I have. It only makes sense that she has more mature features overall, she is a mother. :V

And that image makes it smaller compared to 3D models of the characters.

My, how the time flies. I didn't even realized!

But yeah, her reveal was amazing. I distinctly remember being in college, with the Nintendo Direct happening much earlier than it normally would. It was a Wednesday, and on Wednesday's, I'm in until 5 o'clock. I had pretty much wrapped up all of my assignments and was just browsing. My friend was doing the same, and suddenly poked me. He told me about some Zelda-Dynasty Warriors crossover that he just read had been announced (this was when I knew there was a Nintendo Direct). On the page, I also saw talk of Yoshi's Island DLC for Sonic Lost World too. So it sounded like a really cool Direct.

Curiosity/excitement got the better of me, and I decided to visit the Smash Bros website just to see if any new Smash news had come from the Direct. I was expecting a simple veteran reveal as we had seen with Luigi and Sonic in previous Directs, or a more obviously anticipated newcomer like Palutena or even Pac-Man.

But then the first thing I saw when I loaded up the page was:

And I internally lost my ****.

I spent the whole agonising bus journey wondering how she would play and what her trailer would be like.

I then got home to find that the headsets I had one from a Rayman Legends competition had arrived in the post. Perfect, as I used them to watch the Nintendo Direct.

Lots of cool announcements, but it went on for a while without any Rosalina. I was actually beginning to think that maybe I was day dreaming, or maybe my brief glimpse of the newcomer banner was my imagination, and that she was merely revealed as a stage boss/assist or something (she could totally have fit that bill if not playable, since she is basically Mario's equivalent to god - and none of the extremely faulty and defiant points brought up in a certain other thread will convince me otherwise).

Then that trailer came up and even I was briefly fooled by how it opened. And then Luma came, and he was so adorable with Kirby. But then Rosalina herself came down, and AAAAAAAAAAAH IT'S HAPPENING AND SHE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL.

The trailer then continued to demonstrate who I still believe to be the most unique character this series has ever seen, and it got me so pumped. The entire thing pretty much put to rest any negative feelings I was having for the game at the time (I was disappointed by the reveal of there being no story mode), and I was so pumped. And if that wasn't enough, they followed up by giving her an MK8 trailer, complete with her beautiful and sexy biker suit.

In fact, Rosalina was the reason I joined this very website! As you can see, I joined right after the holiday season last year! Rosalina's reveal led me here, and I was extremely happy to see so many people loved her as much as I do!

And she remains the most fun and interesting character to use in this game for me, and I highly doubt she will be topped. After all, she was my most wanted character in general, and I have wanted her in Smash since before Brawl came out.

Also, how did you find out what Miiverse posts were the most Yeah'd in the Director's Room? Not that I don't believe it, but I can't find out where that information comes from.

Okay @ ChikoLad , here's my story:
Ever since Smash Bros for wii U/3DS revealed, when everyone I mean nearly EVERYONE on the web though that Daisy, Waluigi,or Bowser Jr. will be in Smash Bros. The only newcomer that I really hope was Rosalina. However, I didn't like the idea of her just being a alt costume for Peach, she still has a potential moveset to make. And my hopes of Rosalina be in Smash Bros really set stone had to be when Sakurai revealed the Super Mario Galaxy stage.

Well, during last years December 18. I didn't have a tablet yet. So watching Nintendo Direct live was impossible for me at the moment. After the direct, which was already moring here in Taiwan. And I go to my school library computer corner for a check. I was sure,oh yes, I was sure that the confirmed character was Rosalina. Still I was hyped and "silent screamed" in the library.
After watching the trailer, I also thought that Rosalina was really OP. And after her reveal no screenshots showing her being attacked or spammed over these days, I think this is the best thing what Sakurai did. And last thing I have to mention is her appearance in Bowser Jr.'s trailer. I actually had an anger of her being in his trailer even thogut she didn't like get attack by him or being tortured by Bowser Jr. , he is one of the characters that I still hate to this day. (My apologize here Bowser Jr fans, furthermore, I actually like Ludwig, I always use him instead of Bowser Jr.) So....do you use Bowser jr. as a main @ ChikoLad ?
The reason I joined Smashboards was just simply an action of my mind so is joing this thread(However the thread I first check was the Screen KO thread), I have seeing this website for months, and in Taiwan most teenage gamers often go to http://www.gamer.com.tw/ , most of them have poor English abilities (What I mean poor means they couldn't even write a single English sentence right!). So I am probably the only 17 year old Smashboard Tawan user so far.
And one more thing.........
No sooner had I joined Smashboards, my town Kaohsiung happend this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Kaohsiung_gas_explosions

Oh WOW, now that's dedication.

But it's funny - remember how people were saying, when Rosalina was revealed, that "UGH NOBODY WAS ASKING FOR HER WHERE'S DAISY OR TOAD OR RIDLEY"? Seems that's not the case at all (though to be fair, Kirby's role in the trailer may have helped? Not really sure). :V

Seriously though, Nintendo needs to make a Rosalina game at this point. If Super Princess Peach could sell over a million copies with not much of a push behind it (as far as I know), a Wii U Rosalina title easily could sell a few million, especially if they made the connection to Super Mario Galaxy really clear (both Galaxy games sold over ten million individually).

Well, @ ChikoLad , it is a wise choice for you to buy Rosalina & Luma Japanese amiibo. Yes, amiibos aren't region locked and since I am an Asian, and Taiwanses games are often from Japan, I will obiously buy the Japanese amiibo.
One more note, I often go on Ruten, it the second largest shopping website in Taiwan. Play-asia also sells 3DS, New 3DS,amiibos etc. there too.
And......

But it's funny - remember how people were saying, when Rosalina was revealed, that "UGH NOBODY WAS ASKING FOR HER WHERE'S DAISY OR TOAD OR RIDLEY"? Seems that's not the case at all (though to be fair, Kirby's role in the trailer may have helped? Not really sure). :V

Yeah.............not to mention Bowser Jr...........even thoguh he is in Smash bros, but adding him it made the entire Super Mario series (Not include Yoshi, DK, Diddy Kong, and Wario) dominating over 1/7 of the roster! Sakurai could have add more better characters than just Bowser Jr., TOAD?! Give me a break, I like Toad, but I just don't think Toad or even Captain Toad can fight.

I have no problem with people wanting those characters I listed, it's just that a lot of people got angry at Rosalina's inclusion because she was "stealing their spot" in their eyes.

Clearly that wasn't the case, as Bowser Jr made it in anyway.

Not just that, like I mentioned on the upper sentence of this post,adding him it made the entire Super Mario series (Not include Yoshi, DK, Diddy Kong, and Wario) dominating over 1/7 of the roster! And I already started to hate him every since he appeared in the leak. Watching his trailer that includes Rosalina just spice up my angerness.

While I don't mind the name and of course the idea of having the two of them together is part of what makes this fighter so fun, there is one pet peeve I have with Rosalina & Luma as a pair, and it's more to do with Smash fans - the mistaken assumption that Rosalina is an incompetent person that cannot fight on her own, and forces her children to do so, in Mario canon.

That is not true at all, even in the context of Smash. The Palutena's Guidance for Rosalina goes out of it's way to make it clear that the Lumas are just willingly fighting for her, and not of her request. They just want to, and she is not objecting to it for whatever reason.

And in actual Mario games, Lumas are merely associated with Rosalina as her children. She in no way relies on them to do anything she does, and she's completely supportive of them, and is simply all-powerful by herself.

It is kind of weird feeling that in the Japanese version, the crowd cheers: ROSETTA-CHIKO(Luma)!ROSETTA-CHIKO(Luma)!ROSETTA-CHIKO(Luma)! and then the English version justs : ROSALINA! ROSALINA! ROSALINA!
Feels sad that the crowd didn't cheer Luma in the English version, which is undertandable since Rosalina already had three syllables.

 

[Warlock*G]

I remember what I was doing when Rosalina was confirmed. I was...

...

...oh wait hell no I don't remember, because I never asked for her inclusion in the first place. The main reason I started playing her was because she has unique gameplay mechanics and bends in a screwed up way. I play her from time to time just for laughs, and I usually perform as well with her as I do with my main man Douglas. She's that good.

 

[NintenRob]

My experience a year ago.

It was late at night, I was waiting for the direct to upload to the e'shop which made it later.


When her trailer first started, I thought it was Mario Kart 8 with Kirby as a guest character. I was thrilled, then they showed the launch star and the blue light, I knew instantly it was Rosalina, but I just thought she was being confirmed as well. I was getting a little confused since it started to wander of track with Kirby crashing, I always had smash at the back of my mind but I still thought it was Mario Kart, when Luma appeared, I thought Luma was going to be playable in Mario Kart, this made happy. When Rosalina appeared, I was in awe thinking just how Beauti....
ROSALINA & LUMA LAUNCH INTO BATTLE
I was hyped, I was waving my hands up and down trying to keep in a scream, I was like an excited little school girl. It was perfect, the music, her design, everything. It was a little deceiving how they showed Luma appear at the same time as Rosalina's wand wave taunt. My most wanted was confirmed.


But because of how late night it was, it still wasn't as good as my Greninja reaction.

I was filled with disappointment with solo zard and mewtwo, letting out my "no no no", thinking Mewtwo is better off as DLC like the other cut characters, when suddenly we saw it was actually Greninja.
GRENINJA MAKES A SPLASH
Since I was lying down on the couch with the gamepad, I started to clap my feet together yelling "Greninja! Greninja! Greninja! Greninja! Greninja! Greninja!" life was good

Neither, I pre-ordered from Amazon Germany. And will likely get one from a local toystore a friend of mine works at too. I don't live in the US, so what Target does is irrelevant to me personally. I'm just posting info for the US users here.

Oh, right, you live in Europe. I live in Asia so I will just purchase the Japanese amiibos.
Don't you think it is annoying that Target and many large giant merchandise store dominating on specific amiibo? And even fool us about Rosalina amiibo pre order? I think this market stratedgy is just so rude.

Sooo I just came here to say that this character is super fun to play as!
The ability to attack while shielding and 'empty jumping' with those autocancels is so gratifying, and also looks cool with luma circling around you~
Seriously speaking though, those autocanceled aerials are crazy o:

[ParanoidDrone]

You know how you sometimes hear of sore losers in For Glory who switch to your character after you wipe the floor with them a few times in a row? I've never seen it happen for myself, but I figured it was because Rosalina is not what one would call a "beginner's character."

Today that changed.

I wiped the floor with a Dark Pit. He switched to Robin, I beat him up too. Never lost a stock. In comes the Rosalina.

Oh, it's on now. Mmmhmm.jpg.

It was a shambles for him. He spammed dash attack, used Star Bits from across the map, kept using Gravitational Pull for some reason (I think he expected it to call Luma back), and at one point when I knocked Luma offstage he tried to call it back over and over and over, long enough for me to dash across and whack him in the face. Again. Basically he reeked of someone who had no idea how to use the character.

Ironically, that was also the only game I lost a life in. I misjudged my double jump and fell short of the ledge. Did you know Omega Pyrosphere has the pillar setup underneath and you can't ride the underside with your recovery special? I didn't until today. Died at 36%, that was embarrassing.

tl;dr Owned the everliving **** out of a salty Rosalina ditto.

 

[Eulette]

What kind of funny is that as long as you don't try anything fancy and don't dash spam, Rosalina's kit is great on a basic level!

Idk, But most people imo just seem to misunsderstand imo where the depth/complexity/whathever of her character comes from, or just ignore it because you can play her with only fundamentals and do great (which is see on most tournament replays)

Like... Luma's metagame from what I know is still very young, and I don't think anyone has developed any strategies around stage control (which is stage dependent so I'll probably become more important as the stagelist becomes fixed), nor has anyone put that much effort into solo Rosalina which is funny because from most tournament replays. Rosalina players tend to ignore Luma for the most part, mostly using it as an extension of Rosalina's hitboxes and when Luma's gone because of their disregard they go campy mode.

Solo Rosalina's major problem is approaching imo and if you know losing your Luma will cause your opponent to go aggro, you don't need to be afraid, quite the opposite, that's where Solo Rosalina is effective!

Mmm maybe I'm just kind of biased now that I've tried the character. She feels soo complete and flexible.

But anyways, in the meantime her autocancels become more and more silly (in a very good way!) as I noticed you can Nair into backroll, Fair into grab (50/50 Mixups? Pfff tell that to Luma) Bair into Fair and other stuff I don't remenber. And there's the data with smash partial invincibility, Luma's lol hitlag modifiers...

I wasn't sold at first on this character but damn I can't resist so much variety on a character!

What kind of funny is that as long as you don't try anything fancy and don't dash spam, Rosalina's kit is great on a basic level!

Hey, since you are a Rosalina main or maybe a fan. Welcome to share your thoughts about her in this thread!
I only have a 3DS so I only tried her on the 3DS for now, my circle pad is unflexible so I can't be good with her. And I am still figuring out of how to keep track of Luma, sometimes I care too much about Luma I often get punished.

People are probably waiting for custom tournaments to get
Luma Warp before starting to experiment with separation.

The other neutral Bs just tie up Rosalina for too long.

Guess I was lucky that in Italy it was something like 16:00 when the trailer started, nearly every Nintendo Direct usually starts between 23:00 and midnight here.
I really didn't bring any hopes for Rosalina, although she was my only request, I was like

It's never going to happen, she can't beat the likes of other Mario characters.
But Sakurai doesn't only search for famous characters, he mainly focuses on uniqueness, and she has been nearly something apart from the Mario series since her debut.
That's right, but chances are still tin, and the more I hope, the bigger will the disappointment be, but she will for sure be in in a flrm or another

I didn't remember that there was one, I remembered it only after surfing for a while, then I remembered it, and watched the stream, the trailer just started when I did and I was confused for what I saw, I was thinking pretty fastly, like

Wait, it's like the Melee Intro.
Wait, Kirby is in Mario Kart 8?
Wait, why is Luma in Mario Kart 8?

After that lurked literally everything about her, everyone of those things several times, I wanted to do a Shoop da Whoop face that fired rainbows, and I continued doing that for several weeks.
After that, came the salt you know about, with the Stellar Empress getting denaturalized by the salty minds, and with this I became worried for her not being good, but then I remembered that probably I was one of the last people that cared for it.
Speaking of danaturalization, I truly had hard time in finding something that rapresented correctly her personality and at the same time was an hentai, so finding krakelak's Rosalina's Inaugiration was surely a surprise, too bad I still can't link things.

Just as long you are a genuine Rosalina fan, you can discuss anything about her here.
Oh, I saw that comic before, I kind of like that comic.

Thank you, though I already knew it, I'm not new to the forum.

Nice perspective indeed.
Though her right arm violates that perspective and her shoulders are completely bare.
Really, her dress usually barely covers her shoulders, but in over half of the fan arts it falls down unveiling her shoulders and usually her breasts too.
I'm definitely a little too upset in this kind of things.

I know, it seems that you just don't post much.

Uh....yeah, these ones might involves too explict subjects. And don't be upset, some artist just like to draw her hot and sexy, and some of them actually look gorgious.(I'm only 17 so I can't look NSFW artworks,I don't like those artworks who draw Rosalina a nude maniac), and besides that, I also don't like those which keep showing Rosalina's undies. It just feels.......embarrassed.
I upload a cute Rosalina artwork wearing sweater,go take a look, not sexy but cute eh?

I visit very regularly here as well on the site and the Rosalina forums, but I rarely ever reply just cause I have nothing to really say. Huge Rosalina fan from the beginning. You are not alone there friend.

Well, you are posting now.
Just like you I also had checked this website for over a year now, I want to know more about Smash Bros, so that's why I registered a Smashboards account.

Why so? Feel free to share anything about Rosalina, don't be a stranger.

It's not that I feel like a stranger here, I just don't need to say anything since most people got that covered with topics about her. I have nothing to add other than liking a post.

Well, to me I post at a specific time because of my school days, I can use compters in my school in the library (I don't have smartphones), but only ten minutes of use. So at that time just like you I just give likes or just browse through the website.
I always feel a bit pity sometimes once I missed a lot of posts. I am the guy who likes to stick and engage with a topic. Especially Smash Bros,Nintendo related topics.
