Last time I've checked, didn't people hate Corrin more than Bayonetta? And he wasn't even a ballot choice.

He's the anti-Roy, a glorified advertisement that came at the wrong time when place when Smash fans felt Fire Emblem was shoved down their throats.

Doesn't help that his self insert nature combined with the poor writing of Fates made him even more divisive than Sword of Seals Roy in the Fire Emblem fandom itself.


Corrin did nothing wrong, it's just that the timing is bad. He doesn't really deserve to be cut when we've gotten Roy back.

Just make Lucy an alt and give Zelda two newecomers. Everyone wins that way.

They likely will be due to a comment on the Ballot, and people likely won't be satisfied.

There are about 100 characters with decently high levels of support in this fandom, and someone to get offended for every one of them. If it's a port, then Ridley still isn't happening, which means people will be mad over that.

People will think Isaac and K. Rool won and then we'll get Daisy and Waluigi as the winners and people will flip. Or any other combination of characters for that matter.

No matter who gets in, even if there's somehow a dozen new characters or some similarly high number, people will rage.
To be honest, I doubt Daisy will ever be in Smash.

And no, a certain event in the group's has nothing to do with it. Just that I feel she needs a bit more to warrant her inclusion if we pay attention to Sakurai's stance on spinoff characters.

The same can be said for any Hyrule Warriors character (R.I.P. Lana) or dare I say it Tokyo Mirage Sessions (which will never happen with those sales or that unpopularity).

But I wanna play as her!
You can play her!
Just vicariously through me

Laptop: $250-300
PS4: $250

Also I really don't care about games because I'm not looking for a Gaming Laptop but a Laptop for business/personal use.

Even then the most Gaming I do on Laptop/Computers are Emulated games and Indie Platformers like Freedom Planet, Cave Story and Sonic ROM Hacks
Yeah and Gaming wise I do wanna hit up Fightcade and play some Marvel vs Capcom/X-Men vs Street Fighter and Guilty Gear.


Even then I still might go for PS4 depending if I can find another battery for my laptop
Unless getting a faster, more stable laptop isn't your priority, I'd go for the laptop since business/personal use is probably more important than games.

With that said, if by Guilty Gear, you're referring to the Xrd series, I'd be surprised if you can find a laptop that cheap capable of running it. If it's the older ones, then you're probably good.

Top 3 favorite Alolan pokemon?

1) Galisopod
2) Turtonator
3) Buzzwule

Vikavolt and Aquanid are so close to getting up there. But Aquanid has some stupid stats. Still going to use it though

Because political decentralization is evil and laughable, aye?
Well, Brexit happened. The Iron Curtain fell. Who's laughing now?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you don't understand what a whole region separating from its country means, especially in this case
Not only did the three states do not have any conditions to become independant from the rest of Brazil but neither does any other state, they are all dependant of each other and every part plays a role with each region having a different focus on their economy
The worst part is that the main argument was that "the south is the only thing that sustains the rest of Brazil and they're sucking out our resources".
Tl;dr the south wouldn't last a year without the rest of Brazil

Also, funny that you mention Brexit when English Pounds are basically worth nothing now
So in order to move on from politics, hopefully...

...

Let's do Top Three favorite Alola Pokémon, now that we know everything there is to know about all of them.
Primarina(great typing, beautiful design, great stats and movepool), Oricorio(I love the idea of its gimmick and Baile form is just perfect, Dancer is also a great ability and I just nesd to test ons thing for doubles to make sure of something. Too bad its special movepool is kinda bad) and Mimikyu(great ability, decent stats, sad and relatable backstory and is literally Akutagawa)
Mudsdale, Wishiwashi and Gilosopod(I think that's the name) as honorable mentions

And then we all remember the Simpsons predicting Trump as president.

Lord were they clever.
Not so much a prediction of who will be president but a joke on who's the least likely and most hilarious choice to be president.
Though if that joke became true, I just hope the part about America becoming broke doesn't.

Here are mine, alongside explanations.

1. Dhelmise - Great stats, awesome design and Dex stuff, great name that rolls off the tongue, an AWESOME signature move and ability that abuses it...there's nothing I don't love about this guy.

2. Primarina - Best Alolan starter and I want it for Smash, alongside Decidueye. Killer stats, beautiful design, awesome Z-Move, it's a sea lion mermaid, and it has a great move pool.

3. Toucannon - I love all early birds other than Staraptor, and this one is already in my top three, alongside Unfezant and Talonflame. Skill Link plus Bullet Seed and Rock Blast, Roost for healing, and a niche-carving signature move in Beak Blast. And it's a toucan!

1. Golisopod.
Awesome design (looks like this hence my nickname for it) and great stats and movepool to go with it.

2. Silvally
Yeah it's discount Arceus but I don't really care because that's the point. Plus it has some really good coverage.

3. Primarina
Water starter reigns supreme again. Fantastic typing and movepool.

Honourable mentions
Mudsdale - Great stats and I love it's design.
Kommo-o - Same thing.
Salazzle - Same again.

WTF Indeed. Are we sure this was made with children in mind? Also, who exactly does Lilligant prefer to mate with when they have a 100% female gender ratio?
I mean, it's just a reference to lots of real plants. The flower is to attract mates/get pollinators to fertilize the fruit. Once they mate they no longer need to flower, so they no longer waste energy on it, causing it to wither and die.

Basically, as some guy on 4chan said, it's the equivalent of Lilligant pulling the "getting really fat after marriage" stereotype. :p

Primarina, Tsareena, and Alola Ratticate are my favorites.

Also, friendly reminder that Corrin did nothing wrong.

We shall see about the economy. With every malinvestment (boom) there is a correction (bust). The world is heading down economically, the petrodollar will die, and hopefully the Keynesian myth will be dispelled.
And who's to say nations can't cooperate on economic grounds? Does not Russia provide the fuel for Europe so that the Europeans don't have to? Does not Liechtenstein produce false teeth so that other regions may use their resources elsewise? It can be both a protectionist and globalist absurdity to say that the law of comparative advantage mystically stops working across the borders of a state. No, the problem arises when idiotic regimes attempt to regulate trade across borders by "trade agreements", and that is not a necessary feature of decentralization.

I'm kind of on the same boat. If the port has another Mario newcomer, I don't thing it would be one from a sports spinoff. But we shall see.

To be honest, I doubt Daisy will ever be in Smash.

The same can be said for any Hyrule Warriors character (R.I.P. Lana) or dare I say it Tokyo Mirage Sessions (which will never happen with those sales or that unpopularity).
Don't forget Koei and Altus partially own these characters respectively. They are just as unlikely as Geno nowadays.

That Fire Emblem representation will be knocked down a peg I'm betting you. Whether both Lucina and Corrin leaves or not.

And just like that, the Daycare Center got darker. This is going to be the Gen that really messes with people's perspectives, isn't it?

Anyway, favorite Alolan Pokemon? Not including Starters or Legendaries:
1: Ribombee
2: Lycanroc(Both versions)
3: Wishiwashi

But the Smash Ballot was a mistake. So many people got disappointed over the results last year. Not everyone likes Bayonetta or the winner being a third party (let alone one that's far from a big name).

If some of the higher ballot choices were picked for the port, then they would be completely satisfied.
Would people really buy a whole new game for just a few characters? Would it even be worth it for Nintendo to bring the dev team back together when they could just do a straight port?

Whether I buy the Switch Smash will depend what it offers that Smash Wii U lacked. For starters, I still need to collect all trophies and clear the Challenge board (WITHOUT using ANY Golden Hammers) in Smash Wii U.

Geno was heavily considered for dlc though.

Well, people go preeeetty crazy over characters in this fandom. They'd certainly be more willing to do so for that than just for a new system.

Since they had a line about using the Ballot results for future games in the Japanese Ballot, I'm guessing Nintendo had something in mind from the moment the Ballot started.

If it's just a plain port with all the previous DLC shoved in as new content, they would still be disappointed.

That's the point. The game just doesn't feel complete when some characters are missing and we all know how badly the fandom
craves characters. And why should the port be more barebones than the ones Splatoon and Mario Kart 8 are getting?

I don't know, I'll have @Tortilla Noggin talk about it since she knows the details (including the Smash 6 Joblisting).

Yeah why not. Other developers do it.

A straight port would arguably be worse since you're not really offering anything new to the consumer except maybe all the DLC included in.

I don't think a Smash port with all the dlc included would sell as well as the prior plus a couple new characters and stages.

Mimikyu, Oranguru and Incineroar.

Mimikyu's rap really touched me, Oranguru is an awesome name and design, and Incineroar is my favourite Starter evo.

Yet it was pretty difficult for him to be added in Brawl and Smash 4. Not really downplaying him or anything, but it's obviously the case of Square being pretty protective of him. I guess we will wait and see.

Also, a character isn't super likely when they are considered. Take Takamaru for example and how long it took for him to be downplayed since Melee. All he got going for him is a localized VC release at best (on the overrated 3DS). Needs more like a revival or something.
