Slime?
I'm actually interested in seeing how he would work, so I don't find him boring. But he is a bit bland since (I feel) there's only so much he can do.

Like Little Mac. He's not boring, but he is a bit bland.
Ok then. 4 more. This is fun XD.

  • Lip
  • Captain Syrup
  • Daisy
  • Magnus
Some of them I kinda want some of them idc.

So remember this pic of the day.


Did anyone ever try this? Or at least seen it happen before? I tried it once with Toon Link but never got it to work....
All disjointed hitboxes can block most projectiles like Samus's missiles...if your character's hurtbox was hit by the missile's hitbox you'll still receive damage...Toon Link actually has some pretty short disjoints compared to other sword characters, Marth and Cloud for example would have much easier time with it...

You should make a youtube series about this. 'A Golden perspective on video game characters'
"*insert inarticulate yelling*"
Now I feel old, Smash speculation wise. I remember Golden's old Roster Rant video series, with the Resetti music. :laugh:

I see, I guess I'll try it with Marth next time I happen to face a random Samus.

I remember when D'SRW came out and we discussed the old Red Flash's chances.

Good times. That seems like a lifetime ago.

Alright, I propose a type of game/thought exploration/topic of discussion. It's likely no one will try it, but ah well.

List one final boss from each franchise in Smash Bros that has one in any of their games.

Now rank each one of them in terms of power on a scale of 0.0 to 9.0, with 0.0 being "You could trip over it and it would pass out," 2.0 being the strength of a normal human being, and 9.0 being "holy freaking CRUD, man."

Bonus round: List their respective skill levels if you handed them a copy of Smash 4, with 0.0 being "can't even use the controls," 2.0 being "average normal human playing for the first time," and 9.0 being national tourney winner level.

Ready. . .Go! :pikachu:

Remember when Rosalina and Bowser Jr. were competitors for the last Mario slot?

Funny how times flies and we've gotten both characters. :laugh:

I thought that was Bowser jr and Toad?

Rosalina got a bit overshadowed by the two though until Super Mario 3D World (and then to make it in before either of them)

I remember Bowser Jr., Waluigi, Daisy, and Toad getting into a huge dust cloud while Rosalina sat on a bench outside of it all staring in.

I wasn't here at the time, though.

Er...I'll try
going from my experience, but I'm **** at ranking
:4bayonetta:Aesir, rather easy final boss once you get the pattern down
:4marth:Idun(FE6) Piss easy only had 1 range smh
:4dk: K.Rool. Fight can get hectic, but predictable pattern
:4kirby: Magolor Soul, challenging boss who requires experience
:4link: Ganondorf (OoT), great story-wise, but not that challenging
:4mario: Bowser (Mario 1) take a hit and get the axe
:4megaman:Wily Machine 9, most memorable final boss in the classic games
:4pikachu:Cynthia. Challenging boss who goes all out
:4pit:Medusa, once you position yourself right, she's pitifully weak
:4ryu: Seth, piss easy if you have the 3DS version because lol touch screen
:4samus: Dark Samus, challenging fight and climatic, easily one of the only good things about Prime 2
:4shulk:Final boss in X. *screams internally while ripping face off*
:4sonic:Time Eater 3DS, actual fun and fair fight

Good time to be into 3D fighters I guess.

Though I can't say much about either series. People think SC has been dropping the ball since 2 and I've never played VF.

You were right, it was mostly about Toad (someone who will never live it down) and Junior. Maybe Paper Mario, but certainly not Geno and the spinoff characters.

Once Rosalina got confirmed, most were sure that another Mario character wasn't going to happen. Though it wasn't until the ESRB leak happened and here we are. Many would have preferred the Magic Paintbrush for Junior, but the Koopa Clown Car was objectively the best thing the team would have done with his character.

And then Corrin chose to Smash.

Yeah the Clown Car was essentially the better option for jr. and arguably what would represent him the best imo. After all, he did pretty much use a mech far more often than the paint brush throughout the Mario series in order to battle Mario. Even in Sunshine (The game most commonly referred to when looking for moveset ideas for Jr.) he used a mech twice to battle Mario.

And how about some rumors on Star Wars: Rouge One?


Regardless of the truth of this, I'm looking forward to however the film turns out.

Coming from a Geno supporter, I can feel he was definitely too overhyped in the Pre-Brawl days. After we all learned the hard way, I'm sure the Star Road Warriors were much less powerful than they were for Smash 4 speculation. I'm not all that confident in Sakurai's words about him unless he is genuinely interested in making a deal with Square again for more than just Cloud (Someone who I'm very thankful for as a Final Fantasy 7 pleb).

There is no such thing as slots
Too bad no one will ever get that through their thick noggins. It would take years for the entire fandom to get it, but they will still hold on the the popular "X stole Y's slot" arguments whenever a new character appears.

Can fighting game rosters be limited in size? Sure.

Are slots the defining feature for any Smash addition? No.

I feel the fandom will be on suicide watch if we get more Fire Emblem characters and keep the same ones from Smash 4.

Nah, people will whine about how we can have 60 Marth clones like Bara Marth, Fire Marth, Girl Marth, Magic Marth and Dragon Marth, Manly Marth, Ninja Girl Marth, Spear Marth, Green Marth, White Marth, Magic Girly Marth and Singing Marth

I evolved a Poliwrath today in Go

It was technically the second worse Poliwrath you can get

Mudshot and Submission

However, I am happy about it


I am happy about it because

1) If you are going to have a Poliwrath, it might as well have a fighting move
2) EVERYONE USES VAPOREON, so Poliwrath is going to be resistant to Vaporeon without using moves Vaporeon is resistant to
3) If I wanted to use Water Gun and Hydro Pump I'd use a different pokemon

I caught a wild Poliwrath with Mud Shot and Ice Punch.

I'm genuinely convinced that we will get no more Fire Emblem characters after Sakurai himself said there were too many. Maybe a few cuts, but that depends if any of them are low priority.

But part of me feels that InteleSys will try to strike a deal where they promote the newest Lord (Sadly, I think Avatars will be a mainstay) from Fire Emblem 15. Not really sure what to feel unless we see actual news on that in a few years from now.

Submission has a DPS of 17.9, Ice Punch has a DPS of 12.9

Because Poliwrath gets STAB from Submission

Edit: Submission also has a faster cooldown

Also, I found out Poliwrath gets Bubble not Watergun

But, Mudshot is a lot faster than Bubble and can build up energy faster

After I got my Rosalina I didn't care if Bowser Jr. got in. Granted, my speculation time was only just starting and had no prior experience. I still managed to predict her to be revealed in a Dec Direct, tho it was mostly a guess.:p

I got the following e3 characters right too, but wrong order woops.

I love Midnight's Edge's videos, they did really good videos on Ghostbusters' controversy and Deadpool's development history.
I highly recommend giving them a watch.

Cloyster is one of the pokemon I actually want to get

However, I got the worst Cloyster you can get

That seems to be a pattern

I can't get the best of any pokemon
