As Iblis would say: -dead-
Yeah Paletuna and Medusa are big question marks. Most of us are unsure as to whether or not we like they, whether or not we think they would make good characters, what their chances are (in terms of being a playable character in either of these upcoming smash bros games), etc. I think the same applies to Krom as well.
I know for me the only characters over Ridley have been Toon Link (in), Diddy Kong (in), and Mega Man (should be in, end of story).
Once we got the reveal trailer, Brawl got it's own section... eventually. It took the mods, administrators, etc to get it all down. Maybe a month or two at most.
Initially just a general discussion (a few months or so after Brawl's first trailer), and then a character discussion (I think a few months after the 2nd/current Dojo launched) I think. Then (around the time Sonic was announced) each confirmed character got their own character board, and a few weeks after that a "No Spoiler" forum. After Brawl was released, the other boards were subsequently added (stage discussion, competitive discussion, wifi, etc).
Nah you won't know the game competitively for about 2 or 3 years. There were people who said similar things about Brawl, and most of them disappeared. Knowing the characters and general gameplay will only help you for the first few months. After that, the game will go through weird and crazy transitions/trends/tier lists (ROB used to be #1 on a lot of people's tiers early on; now he is in the middle), until a few years later where the game settles down and stays relatively stable. Slow changes that don't change the root game much follow for several years, and possibly decades, and a permanent fanbase remains afterwards.
Yeah, I want 2 new smash bros experiences. I think what we might get in one game is a floaty game (although with speed; think like how float everything was in Brawl/Smash 64 with Melee's floating speed) with good speed (somewhere inbetween smash 64 and Melee) and tech skills that don't take a lot of practice to learn (like Smash 64 I guess).
You know I am still here, right=??? Although I stopped playing competitive Brawl, and play competitive Melee exclusive or nearly exclusively now (smash 64 I get ***** at too often). I actually got a text from my bro SuperSkeetBro about a tournament soon.
fAWFUL got 89 votes=???
I agree with this, except I actually care about Kid Icarus Uprising... a bit!
...I will kill the Sandbag. Not hurt it. Not KO it. KILL IT!!!
Or maybe you want a competitive smash bros game that isn't based on defensive tactics that all at some level involve running away or stalling action.
Basically, Smash is about the flow of the battle, not about combos.
It seems like only Toise and I actually have an opinion on these characters. Everyone else is too willy-nilly.
Competitive means you play the game competitively and go to competitive events to compete competitively, period. At least to me anyways. You could view it differently, which is a okay... because it is subjective. However, most people who play the game competitively at live tournaments view "competitive smash bros" the way I do.
I don't know about willy-nilly, I just plumb do not care. My vote still goes with Palutena.
I really don't care too much (like Star). Plus I want to know how each character looks/acts before I endorse/oppose them. I was neutral on Lucas until I saw MOTHER 3 gameplay footage. After that, I wanted Lucas SOOOO BAD!!! (assuming Ness stayed)
Probably, although I'm starting to actually make up my mind.
I'd say it's the other way around on other sites.
1. I doubt it's because she's a good guy...
I would say that Palutena is the most popular among people who have played the games, too. She's my pick because she plays a massive role in Uprising, providing commentary and dialogue that is apparently hilarious. At least, for a videogame.I dunno about the best pic Oasis. I think you are just being silly...
But for real, Paletuna is the popular pick, because she is the good guy, and is already known by many people who play smash (but haven't played a Kid Icarus game).
I was never sure your opinion on either of them. It was more geared towards the people who go like "I don't know. Maybe I'll decide after uprising.."
That is actually what some people believe. Although if Medusa is in, this or this needs to be her theme. Paletuna needs to have this as her theme...
I've played the original Kid Icarus several before. The only time I ever bothered to get past the first 5 levels (because that game wasn't hard enough to make me want to play on) was when I did one of the codes and had all the power ups all the way through the game and beat it.1. I doubt it's because she's a good guy...
2. You really should pick up a copy of one of the games or get the Uprising pre-order and get the original for free. Take your pick.
Still, even your opinion could change if Medusa interests you enough. Really any of us could sway either way after seeing this whole game or a larger part of this game.
No. By options, I mean what moves you can do in a certain situation.
Yeah, because that is why Zelda is not a playable fighter is Super Sma-oh wait.
I know, I just like throwing things out there for the sake of discussion.
And how has Smash not had this? Or how does Kid Icarus have it any more (the powers?).
Good guys are overrated. We play as them in every game. Fighting games like Smash Bros. give us a chance to play as the bad guys. Still, it seems like developers don't like adding very many.I dunno about the best pick Oasis. I think you are just being silly...
But for real, Paletuna is the popular pick, because she is the good guy, and is already known by many people who play smash (but haven't played a Kid Icarus game).
Go to the FG threads over at the Light House and most, if not all, will tell you that the same thing has applied to fighting games since Street Fighter 2.
Poor Saki, so gullible... Although you have tipped your hand and showed your real intentions for wanting Medusa.
The point is he's not focusing on things like combos (which he also says fighting games do too much of). What Sakurai is doing is removing the fluff (combos) and keeping the core and accentuating it. I think that's a big key to Smash's success.
If that's a sin, then I was condemned ages ago.
Forget S&P, I'm going to curse at you now instead. >:V
I always like how Kuma think he know better than the guy who has made his fair share of games.
Good from what I remembered.
That's a different debate. I'm merely stating that Paletuna is probably more important in Uprising (like she arguably is in the first 2 Kid Icarus games), therefore I think she is more likely, especially given that Sakurai is making the game, and will probably choose the more important character. Plus we haven't exactly played as either Paletuna or Medusa.
Arguing with results and having nothing to show for it?
Arguing against ideas and having nothing to contribute?
Wow... Just, wow.
Yes, much better. It is more in line with an SCHMUP given the ability to fly, but it has some land sequences too (oh, and a really nice sand jetbike area). The trade off though is because it is easier to control some stages become bullet hells. The game is a little bit different than the first, but it is the same kind of clinging to life adrenaline rush as the first title.
