I just looked up "Robber Crab"

They are Coconut Crabs

I had no idea what a Robber Crab was but I knew about Coconut Crabs

Maybe you all missed the part when I said I didn't care what went down in the Anime. I'm saying this because people have the tendency to use that word because people are saying something they don't like so they feel the need to undermine them using that petty word. When you do that **** it pisses me off. More so when it's used in a Smash context but pretty much in any other situation as well. Just because people wanted the plot to progress normally doesn't mean they have to be labelled that way.

It's not something that is going away anytime soon, so better get used to it. If you get so mad wherever you see the word, you'll just encourage others to make fun of you.

 

[Erureido]

I shared this in the Pokemon Sun and Moon discussion thread, and I thought I'd share it here.

I have a really interesting thought that just hit me, something that could hint at Crawbrawler's viability:

When Junichi Masuda revealed Mega Kangaskhan in Worlds 2013 for X/Y and then Mega Slowbro in Worlds 2014 for OR/AS, he mentioned that both Pokemon very strong; he also thought both Pokemon would be very popular among VG Pokemon players. Look at what eventually happened when those games were released. Mega Kangaskhan became a force to be reckoned in both the Smogon and VGC metagames, while Mega Slowbro became a defining part of the OU metagame.

Considering that Masuda revealed Crabrawler to be "very strong" and promised that VG players would use it, I think this strongly hints that Crabrawler could actually be a great Pokemon for competitive play.

I don't give a **** to be honest what others think of me. That goes for here and anywhere else. I'll speak my mind whenever I want.

 

[FalKoopa]

Someone was talking about Ninty's stocks plummeting.

Just an FYI - Stock prices can rise and fall just on publicity and perception. The Kalos's ending was poorly received and that is enough for the stocks to fall in value. It's just a measure of the market's confidence.

 

[Burruni]

Some added information about Crabrawler during the worlds opening ceremony:

Junichi Masuda - "And of course, San Francisco is famous for crab, and here on the screen, I think you can see me posing at a statue at Fisherman's Worth, so I knew that I really wanted to introduce this Pokemon here in San Francisco."

*Picture is shown of Junichi Masuda with the crab statue landmark*

Masuda continues speaking: "So Crabrawler... it's a very competitive Pokemon that really just hates to lose. It's always aiming for the top, so I think it's a lot like all of you in that respect. It's a Fighting-type Pokemon that uses its tough claws to battle, and it's said that its mighty punches are powerful enough to even split tree trunks. It's not a very big Pokemon by any means, definitely not the biggest, but it's very strong, and I hope everyone will use Crabrawler this November when Pokemon Sun and Moon are released worldwide, so I know I can't wait to adventure with Crabrawler."

" It's not a very big Pokemon by any means, definitely not the biggest, but it's very strong "

IT'S LITERALLY LITTLE MAC CRAB.

This is a pretty cool mod:

Goes over the Toad Mii costume. It looks really nice though.

After years of trying, and inevitably ****ing up, i've finally managed to get a controller to work on my laptop. It was for the dumbest reason ever (my PS3 was still plugged in) but damn it the deed is done. Imagine all the games I can play now

But can you play volleyball?

Yup....

Despite this, people on Miiverse will continue to ask for Goku in Smash.

 

[Ura]

They always do though lol.

Pretty sure Sakurai said Anime/Manga characters wouldn't be in Smash Bros in one of his columns but I forgot which one it was.

 

[Coricus]

NeoGaf is now flipping out about Federation Force because. . .

Spoiler

The ending implies the series has an ongoing plot to it.

And yes, they're now seeing Tanabe and Sakamoto as equally running Metroid into the ground because of this and that the franchise is ruined due to it.

. . .oy.

 

[Burruni]

Guys.
Come on.
It's clearly fake.
Crabrawler is photoshopped Little Mac.
I have proof.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

So people are branded salty for wanting the anime to actually progress instead of recycling the same garbage over and over again? That's stupid on so many different levels.

Please....

 

[FalKoopa]

That was back in Brawl. Though statements made back then haven't necessarily true for Smash 4, so tread with caution.

Then again, he'd probably have reservations about adding one of them because of the floodgates it would open up.

Yooka-Laylee is going to be great.

Personally I find it funny that

Spoiler: Fed Force ending spoiler

We in the smash fanbase think the cameo is kind of cool because Sylux has that niche little fanbase here while GAF just could not give less of a **** about Sylux and doesn't care for trying to shoehorn in a minor spinoff character.

Oh how opinions can differ so drastically and in such numbers.

Don't see why that would change. Unlike Villager where he wasn't sure how the character would work he straight up said he didn't want anime/manga characters in the game.

Unless Nintendo somehow pressures Sakurai in to putting these characters in the game for some sort of deal they have with Shonen Jump, it's never going to happen.

Well, we somehow got Nisekoi trash in Super Mario Maker, so you never know...

 

[Coricus]

Also, since the "salty" conversation went on for a while. . .while the term "salt" has some rather childish implications with it's use, it's use in terms of the reaction to Ash losing and the absence of several Smash characters could easily be substituted for the phrase "people are throwing childish tantrums about this."

You can be "salty" and still have a point about something. The "salt" isn't that someone has an opinion, it's that a given individual is acting like a three year old who was just told they can't have any more candy.

Granted, the term "salt" can be thrown around as loosely as the term "troll," and there's certainly some internet equivalents of schoolyard bullies who would happily toss the phrase around as an accusation against anyone who disagrees with them. And yes, the word "salt" can be pretty irritating at times once those abuses of the phrase stack up.

But the sentiment behind it isn't exactly wrong, because the reactions to anything and everything going wrong in the video game industry are ludicrously over the top and immature.

So yes, the people who are upset over the Ash thing are "salty." They're right, but they're still "salty," because they're also acting certifiably insane about it.

I'm pretty sure Mario Maker's rules (assuming there are any) aren't the same as Smash's, though.

 

[FalKoopa]

SMM is a game where you can play as Hello Kitty and Shaun the Sheep. You can't compare that with Smash.

 

[Yellowlord]

Let's see... So Crabrawler (with an unoriginal name as many say, which I agree with) is basically Little Mac after going a transformation into his true form? That explains why its pure Fighting and is probably going to be effective on grounded enemies and terrible against Flying enemies (ironically)...

 

[Substitution]

That being said...
How the hell did we get Nisekoi but not Jotaro? At least have the proper anime before adding in whatever trash you want.

Or even Goku. I'd play Goku at least...

 

[Coricus]

I think this should address Sakurai's opinion on non-game characters more recently than Brawl.

http://sourcegaming.info/2015/07/07/mii-fighters/

However the biggest reason for the inclusion of Miis was because “anyone can join.” I know that having even a single character be playable in Smash is very important to those fans. I get requests from fans all over the world. With no regard for things like production costs, copyright, and even requests for characters that aren’t in games. Even if it is impossible, that these fans want those characters to be playable in Smash is a real desire.

It didn't change between Brawl and 4. There might have even been something later, but I'm not sure if there was and I wouldn't know where to look for it on short notice.

 

[FalKoopa]

Probably easier to deal with and cheaper to get. Nisekoi isn't a big mainstream anime.

I interpret that differently than you

That meaning of that statement to me is that you can customize miis to look like anyone you want

 

[Curious Villager]

I mean I suppose non videogame characters and mediums have made it into other Nintendo games in recent years, not just with Super Mario Maker, but also in games such as Splatoon and Mario Kart 8.

But then again, I think Sakurai more or less works in his own accord compared to developers of other Nintendo series.....

 

[Coricus]

I probably should have highlighted the line below it.

aren’t in games: Requests for characters from Attack on Titan or Dragonball, for example. The younger the fans are, the more unrealistic the requests get.

 

[Erureido]

So I was reading Sandygast's description, and I found something very interesting

If you heedlessly grab a Sandygast’s shovel, you’ll fall under the Pokémon’s control. A Sandygast uses its power to manipulate children into gathering sand to increase the size of its body. If a Sandygast loses its shovel, it may put up a tree branch, a flag, or another item in its place. These Sandygast are wanderers in search of their own shovels

Does this confirm we will encounter form variations for Sandygast? Not going to lie, but I'd like to find a Sandygast with a flag on its head.

It also makes me wonder if these different objects will carry over to Palossand when it evolves.

 

[Burruni]

So.
Did the tutorial for MPFF.
Firing Range Tutorial: A few hundred points from RANKING.
Combat & Support Tutorial: Crushed top place score.

Guys don't trust me against anything that has altitude in what I have to shoot and we'll be fine.

I guess the best approach to do what @Frostwraith suggested and have Mii Costumes based on Anime characters. Maybe you can have a Dragon Ball set or a Naruto set of Mii costumes. Nintendo would obviously have to strike a deal with Shonen Jump for that to happen of course.

One thing's for certain.
Shovel Knight would hate seeing one.

I'd love to see this happen. It be pretty neat. Not sure if it will, but I hope it does.

And you all say Crabrwler can't be an air fighter, but when he gets Sky Uppercut and Ice Punch, you and the flying types will learn he can be whatever he wants to be!

 

[Opossum]

Assuming we don't get my dream of a Ghost-Normal Opossum Pokémon, Crabrawler just took slot six of my team.


Also, I too agree at the word salty is overused and had lost all meaning, but in addition, two has any variation of the word cringe or cringeworthy. Like salty, it's pretty much just a deflection based on "I'm too dumb to think of an actual counterpoint so I'll just undermine with buzzwords" that is all too common lately.

 

[Ura]

^ This man gets it.

 

[Soul.]

The anime's ratings have been down since BW.

Even one of the key animators said they should have let him win on Twitter. Like, you give the protagonist a special form of an already popular Pokémon and he still can't win lol.

Alola has no league so it's basically the Orange League, where it's less about Pokémon battles and more about Trainers doing select activities with their Pokémon.

Still, the animation was amazing. Semifinals match was better tho

 

[Professor Lexicovermis]

Whoa, I can make a Punch-Out themed team now!

Little Mac - Crabrawler
Bear Hugger - Bewear
Mr. Sandman - Palossand
Mad Clown - Popplio
Masked Muscle - Hawlucha
King Hippo - Hippowdon

That said, really liking Crabrawler! The black eye is a nice touch, he really looks punch-drunk. Sandyghast is kind of an unwieldy name, why not Sandoom? Anyway, it looks even better in motion. Palossand is still probably one of my favorite Ghost types we've had lately, other than Mimikyu of course! Stufful looks so much better in 3D. I seriously thought it was just a head and legs in the art. Curious to see the lore behind the tag. Keep the news flowing, GF!

 

[Ura]

So yeah like I said before. "Ash loses lol" should be the opposite meme of "Cena wins lol" given how similar the two are despite being different.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

The sandcastles look MUCH better in motion
