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

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Baseball is less aggressive, so Rosalina would be better suited for that sport.

As for those who may rub Rosalina the wrong way, the Lumas could always do the aggressive actions for her.

 

[NintenRob]

I just had quite the disturbing thought.

Seeing Honey Queen in a strikers outfit on Rosalinas team O.o

 

[ChikoLad]

Yoshi and Luigi weren't that aggressive in Strikers, IIRC, compared to other characters. Even their themes weren't aggressive.

In Strikers, the characters are trying to intimidate their opponents in a lot of cases. Rosalina can be an intimidating without showing aggressive traits though. For example, while most characters in Strikers taunt their opponents very directly for their Home Entrance animation, Rosalina could simply do the sparkly eye stare she did in her Smash reveal.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Rosalina's baseball team could always be composed of the following...

Rosalina: 8/10|4/10|9/10|5/10

Theres a series going on over at Gamefaqs that has you vote for the newcomer you would most want cut each round.

Rosalina is in the FINALS! She actually managed to beat Megaman.

We should rigg the poll and have her win the finals
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/633202-super-smash-bros-for-wii-u/69237270

 

[ChikoLad]

Well make sure you vote Little Mac if you want Rosalina to win. Because you're supposed to vote for the one you think should be cut.

I don't want any of the newcomers cut but I want Rosalina to stay the most out of all of the newcomers (along with Mega Man, but in terms of actual character, I refer Rosalina by galactic proportions, plus she has the most unique moveset out of all of the Smash roster so far)..

I just voted (on Little Mac). Rosalina has 4 more votes than Little Mac. So make sure to get voting on Little Mac if you want Rosalina to win.

Also, another poll that might interest you - "Which newcomer should NOT have gotten in?"

So how tall is Rosalina anyway? Just wondering because I'm 6 feet and 2 inches tall, is Rosalina taller than me?

There's no official statement, but this picture explains it pretty well:

There's also the size comparisons that I've done up a couple weeks ago.

What we do know is that Rosalina rivals Waluigi's height. And based on the DeviantART user's findings, Rosalina is apparently 7' 7", tied with Mega Mewtwo X's height, while being an inch taller than Ganondorf, who's 7' 6".

 

[Baskerville]

Smae height as Mega Mewtwo X and an inch taller than Ganondorf? She's a damn skyscraper!

So I guess it's safe to say that Rosalina would probably be a much better basketball player than I am...

And I'm still waiting for her and Rouge to be in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games! WHATS TAKING SO LONG, MIYAMOTO!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Here's another one, comparing Rosalina to the other Mario cast.

 

[ChikoLad]

I was doing an important video quality test today on YouTube, and I just so happened to use a speed run of World Star-3 as Rosalina in Super Mario 3D World as my subject. I did this just today, and I'm pretty pleased with the run. A few minor improvements could have been made, but overall, I was very happy with the speed run.

Just as an FYI, I specifically was going for a no power-up run, as that's my favourite way to speed run as Rosalina.

So eat your heart out, Blue Toad!

 

[MechaWave]

Here's another one, comparing Rosalina to the other Mario cast.

Those head proportions...

 

[NintenRob]

Thought I would share this "head to head" (get it) comparison of Rosalina and Peach.

There are more differences that some people would have believe, and this is only looking at her head.

 

[ChikoLad]

I could go into great detail regarding why Rosalina looks perfectly distinct from Peach, going beyond the face. As I always say, any similarities between the two are by virtue of being in the same art style.

What REALLY bothers me though, is that people say Elsa from Frozen looks like Rosalina, to the point where people mix the two up a lot. And then there are people who say Elsa even has a similar personality to Rosalina.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Rosalina and Elsa really don't have anything in common, as their hairstyles are different, along with their personalities.

 

[NintenRob]

Similarities between Elsa and Rosalina:

Hair colour
Dress colour
Skin colour
sad past (both lose parent/s)
Rosalinas Ice World
Both magical

differences:
everything else

It isn't that hard to see why Elsa reminds people of Rosalina, they pretty much have the same colour scheme. But overall they are very different.

No, I mean people genuinely MIX UP the two.

They have a similar colour palette, but that's about it. Rosalina's Ice World is a pretty insignificant coincidence (it's not like she made it with Ice magic or anything, unlike Elsa, who can create things made out of Ice), and "sad past" and "use magic" are too broad to really note them as similarities. Plus, none of these points have anything to do with their personalities, which people try to say are similar.

And the annoying part is that when people see Elsa in Frozen, they don't ever mistake her for Rosalina. It only works the other way around. Even though Rosalina has existed for a much longer time than Disney's Elsa.

EDIT: So I decided to find a screenshot of Rosalina in Smash 4 and compare it to Super Mario Galaxy and 3D World, for those who are curious:

Seriously, even if the Wii had bad graphics, Mário Galaxy was exceptional. I still prefer the Rosalina of Mario Galaxy 1 instead of Smash Wii U.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

It's not like there are any major differences between Rosalina's Galaxy and Smash 4 models, but the eye pupils are different between the two. 3D World Rosalina just looks way too short, and she's supposed to be bigger than most generic Mario enemies.

 

[ChikoLad]

The Galaxy and Smash 4 models are the same design wise (minus the addition of the star patterns on her gown in Smash), but I prefer the Smash version as it looks higher poly and has better textures, and I like the sheen her gown has, it gives off a more spacey feel.

I actually really like the 3D World model too. She's only short because her hitbox needs to match the other characters in that games. Besides being short, she still looks beautiful. Then again, when does she not?

 

[NintenRob]

I agree with sonicbrawler on this one, Rosalina has always been beatiful but what Sakurai did to her in this game has only been an improvement, she looks spectacular in this and the era of HD is doing more wonders for her then any other Mario princess.

 

[ChikoLad]

I'd also like to make a quick disclaimer stating that tall girl =/= beautiful to me by principle or anything, I just think being really tall is befitting of Rosalina.

 

[Xavier :D]

My Friend thought Rosalina was Elsa while I was playing 3D World...

 

[MechaWave]

Rosalina's actual model for Smash 4 isn't that much different, especially if you were to pause the game and view it closer. Her artwork doesn't match the in-game model, however. I noticed this with her bang mostly.

Are you sure? I think that the bang only looks different because they put in a fixed position for gamplay but moved (not changed it) so that its affected by gravity better. Same model but different position?

 

[MechaWave]

Eh, maybe. I just noticed it's a bit different, but at least her actual model looks good.

 

[NintenRob]

So.... Do you guys think we see any more new games at E3 that have Rosalina in it?

 

[ChikoLad]

There's really no direct reason to think we will.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Maybe, if by sheer dumb luck they decide to do Mario and Sonic at the Brazil Olympic Games far too early, or if against my will there is Super Mario Galaxy 3

 

[ChikoLad]

I guess if Nintendo is planning a new game specifically for the NFC figures, Rosalina could possibly show up there.

And even if they aren't, I'm hoping that one of the NFC figures they reveal is a beautiful Rosalina one.

 

[C3CC]

Yes. I'm thinking either Rosalina's very own game or Super Mario Galaxy 3.

 

[Rose alumna]

i guess her pivot grab would be of tech cuz she might have the mewtwo walk slim chance

 

[Leonyx]

Anybody else excited to see Rosalina in the Invitational? I wanna see how she plays.

Don't get your hopes up. Rosie seems very unsuited to 4-player FFA's, and whoever plays her won't get enough time to practice - she seems to have a very steep learning curve.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Yeah sadly, players won't have enough time to use Rosalina properly, so we'll probably have to wait until the 3DS version is out to try to get used to her.

 

[NintenRob]

I'm sure that if Rosalina is also in the gamestop demos, we are bound to learn more about her. I just hope we see a Rosalina Kirby and see what that does.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

That really sux tbh, I was really excited about getting to try her out before anybody else in the world, but at least I have the 3DS version preordered. I hope she's not a pain to unlock though

 

[SethTheMage]

I'm going to the Best Buy event on the 11th, and if Rosalina's playable, I'm going to be getting as much hands-on experience with her as I can. I'm not intimidated by the learning curve; I'm willing to jump right in and see how she plays. I'll be sure to post my experiences here or in a separate topic for those of you who can't go. If possible, I'll try and get someone to play Kirby and see what power he gets from Rosalina.

EDIT: Looks like my ride bailed on me. Unless I can find a ride, I won't be able to go.
