So today in FE Heroes, I managed to pull two Seliphs (too bad the first one got no Speed growths in like 20 levels) and Eirika (who has gotten five perfect level-ups of her ten so far), and managed to get the 20,000 feathers needed to promote Catria to 5* - and so far she is proving her worth. I'm having a pretty good day, I think.

I also managed to knock off the 40 Arena wins needed to complete the Hard-level quests, in the process of collecting those feathers. Let's see what the Lunatic Arena quests look like...

" Win 80+ Arena duels"

...nope. I don't even have enough Duelling Crests needed to fight that many matches, let alone win all of them. If anyone manages to complete those 80 wins in the ~10 days that are left, my condolences to your bank balance.

The new Gen 3 poll is up and the Gardevior fandom already came at full force. lol

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Easy pick for me: Swampert.

Definitely my favorite Hoenn Pokemon, and one of the most nostalgic for me as well. He has awesome typing, and a great design too. I can also imagine it being a pretty cool fighter in Smash with a variety of mud-style and quake-like attacks.

As for the others, I've never really cared for Shiftry and Medicham. I used to be a huge fan of Gardevoir from generations 3-5, and she's still a pretty nostalgic Pokemon to me (especially in the generation 3 days when she was my second favorite Pokemon at the time), but my interest in the Pokemon has been declining in recent years and I have other Fairy-types that I'd think would be more interesting in Smash.

Looks like the Sceptile's support is dead.

They've moved on to their new "muh Grass Starter" subject, Decidueye.

To an extent I would say that's a credit to how good Splatoon's artstyle was in the first place and the fact that they've maintained the exact same artstyle for the sequel. The difference actually is quite noticeable if you actually put the games side by side instead of working off of memory, though.

Spoiler: Big image

The trees have had a large detail boost, and the ink now varies in thickness when splatted onto the ground. There are a lot smaller and finer grass details scattered around in Splatoon 2 as well.

If people haven't played Splatoon yet to compare, then it's not like they've invested money in the first one anyway, so they haven't been "ripped off" by getting the original and even a "port" should be fine. If a current Splatoon player doesn't see it worth upgrading to for whatever reason, they'll still have their Wii U servers for a while if they want them, but they should be in more of a position to see what's added by the time they share everything to know for sure whether or not it's worth their time. If someone simply doesn't like Splatoon games, then whether or not it's a port doesn't really concern them in the first place and if anything they'd have more reason to be happy if it had been since more work could have gone into Animal Crossing faster in that case.

It still feels subtle for a generation difference, but yeah, there's still a noticeable upgrade.

But to be fair Splatoon's artstyle is one that would do okay without a major overhaul of the visuals

1)Get a Switch early
2)Post a video unboxing it
3)Try to sell it
4)?????
5)The exact opposite of profit.

This one's actually tough for me.
Out of the 4 listed, Swampert is my favorite. But that doesn't necessarily mean I'd like to see it in Smash the most....
Shiftry and Medicham are too random for my tastes.....
Gardevoir makes the most sense out of the 4, which is why I'm more towards voting for it despite Swampert being one of my favorite Gen 3 Pokémon overall.....

So I'm torn between the one I like the most (Swampert) and the one I'd agree with the most (Gardevoir)....

It would be

Looking at this again, I just have Jirachi left as a real contender.

• Gen 3: Sceptile, Blaziken, Gardevoir, Jirachi
• Gen 4: Garchomp, Weavile, Darkrai, Gallade
• Gen 5: Zoroark, Genesect, Darmanitan, Victini
• Gen 6: Hawlucha, Aegislash, Diancie, Avalugg
• Gen 7: Decidueye, Incineroar, Mimikyu, Tapu Koko

One of the Regis can work (choosing one of them will be hard). There's Mawhile at least with its interesting body and Mega Evolution. And that leaves either Hariyama (a sumo Pokemon), Flygon, Aggron, Vigoroth/Slaking, or one of the exclusive ghosts (Duskclops or Banette).

Choosing for the third polls are always this difficult.

Did you use Plusle & Minun already? They could work as well.

Flygon is a must, we got to have Dragons. Sure Salamence is more popular and got the Mega Evolution, but Flygon's body shape is more like Charizard's (making ti more Smash appropriate).

I would love Slaking, but his whole gimmick is being slow and lazy with his Truant ability. Maybe Vigoroth can work, but Slaking is more popular.

Not sure about the Regis. They all can work (Even Ice). Choosing only one of them would be weird.

If you do multiple for gen 7 you gotta add Guzma's boy Golisopod

Not that I have any bias in that

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Not yet. Those two do have a decent following. They are very compatible enough with enough charge (puns for days).

Flygon is a must, we got to have Dragons. Sure Salamence is more popular and got the Mega Evolution, but Flygon's body shape is more like Charizard's (making ti more Smash appropriate).

Flygon is underrated, I have a soft spot for him. At least his body is appropriate enough as a dragon fighter unlike Salamence.

Slaking have been shown as active in some occasions, but it's only in battle that he's slow because of said ability (Truant). It wouldn't be too weird to have him over his pre-evolution.

Perhaps your right. Maybe I can ignore the Regis for now.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Kind of hope pokemon go adds the gen 4 evolutions before going on to gen 3, but I know they aren't going to

Not to worry, my fellow Golisopod fan.

He won't be left out when Gen 7's polls hit. His design literally screams "Smash" just by looking at him.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Finished my run of FE7! :D

Units:

Spoiler

Florina was the clear MVP. I would have benched Oswin if not for the fact that I wanted to get his support with Priscilla. I think he levelled up speed, like, once.

Speaking of, supports were:
Eliwood/Hector A
Lyn/Florina A
Rebecca/Sain A
Fiora/Geitz A (Getting this was a pain in the ass... >.<)
Oswin/Priscilla A
Nino/Canas A
Lyn/Eliwood B
Oswin/Hector B
Rebecca/Nino B
Priscilla/Lucius B
Florina/Fiora B

If only the move didn't work at the beginning of each fight, First Impression is the perfect Final Smash.

Not like all Smash Pokemon moves worked accurately.

Disable (stuns people instead of taking away one move), Quick Attack (zip zap zop electric movement), Rest (You KO people on a sweet spot just by sleeping), Fly (a spiraling aerial maneuver with flames), Razor Leaf (a literal leaf boomerang), Withdrawal (Watery Koopa Shell movement), and so forth.

Not like creative liberties are a bad thing.

I'm honestly curious if there's been an interview with a game creator who said he didn't want their character in Smash.

Yeah, remember all the indie devs that wanted their characters in Smash?

I think Team Ninja/Tecmo & Atlus are one of the few third parities who aren't vocal about their characters joining Smash.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

tbh Golisopod in Smash would be amazing as Zard shouldn't be the only tanky mon. Gimme Heracross and Aggron too while you're at it

Not that they will even matter, since this would be another Snake situation to where the character's creator goes out of their way to discuss with Sakurai about it.

I'm honestly curious if there's been an interview with a game creator who said he didn't want their character in Smash.

There's a difference between just wanting it and be willing to actually try to make it happen.

With that in mind, I'm actually seeing Travis as a distinct possibility if Suda51 is serious about talking to Sakurai about it.
This isn't the first time the idea has been brought up by Suda51, and it likely won't be the last.

And then there's Kamiya who was just being Tsundere all along.

I just realized this is a new article, as Suda said it around Brawl's time too iirc

God damn, this UI slick as ****! I need this~!

Everything about the Switch's design is so slick and modern. Then you look at the Wii U and it feels like a cheap, pharmacy toy.

Why am I more hype for a UI than games?

I don't really like how the white UI looks like at least in the video, but I prefer the black one though.
And you can be able to change system language and region just made me feel more comfort on buying a Japan import Switch.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA **** YEAH
I FOUND MY USB WITH METROID PRIME TRILOGY
I LOST THAT ****** FOR MONTHS

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Is it wrong that I wouldn't mind Travis's inclusion at all?

Both No More Heroes titles were solid hack and slash games, with very tongue on cheek (if not a bit self aware) humor. He would fit like a glove when put next to the other Smash third party guests.

Inb4 the same "muh too many swordsman" strawman.

I've seen a fair amount of support for him in Smash 4, so I wouldn't take out the possibility, especially with the franchise returning.

My only issue is how Travis is supposed to be this foul mouthed loser that nobody wants and that could be hard to fit within Smash
Granted, Bayonetta proved that argugument absolutely laughable, but I'd need to see it before accepting it

 

[Deleted member]

Travis comes off to me as someone who would have scored high on the ballot had DLC been a thing for Brawl.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

They could rename it to something like "Lasting Impression" or just "Last Impression"

I wanted him since Brawl, so you've got my support Travis. This was known a bit though.

Travis is cool and we already have examples of M rated characters that still fit Smash (albeit toned down) regardless of their origin.

I wouldn't mind it either. My brother got me into the series and I've became hooked. I even played with the PS3 port too.

Tecmo Koei, Atlus, Nippon Icchi Software, Marvelous, Hudson (R.I.P.), Ubisoft, and so forth.

Quite a few people.

Hm, should I play Hector mode, or move on to FE8 next?

Ubisoft,

I thought they said they'd love Rayman during Omni's debut
