They should have a Big Team Battle mode in Splatoon. I want ****ing chaos.

6v6 battles
12 players
all chaos

 

[Robert of Normandy]

****! I clicked Linde instead of Tharja!

Can't you back out before you enter a battle?

 

[praline]

Finished Specky Knight a few hours ago. Specky himself is the most fun, but I feel like his campaign is the shortest out of the bunch. Next is King Knight, wonder what Yacht Club's gonna do for him

I would have preferred Propeller Knight frankly.

It never gave me the option.

Welp... atleast I picked the cutie.

200cc is a nice little addition to the series, but at the same time, I ****ing hate it. lol Like, it's so hard to handle turns, and that one Bowser City stage that's from the 3DS game I believe is a total nightmare. Rainbow Road, too. 150cc is the best to me.

6v6 battles

I concur and agree with this. While we're at it, add vehicles. HALO SPLATOON.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I wouldn't. I ****ing love King Knight being the hammiest piece of **** in the game, plus he's got one of the best boss themes

 

[Deleted member]

What? Pfft. Who the hell plays Smash still?

Sometimes I feel like one of the few people in this thread who still plays Smash from time to time

The gif is entirely accurate though. ToQ-Oh and it's big red train are more likelier to get a localization than EOV

You wish
E3 is coming, let's see who gets the last laugh

So we're getting Celica and all her servants at the Temple. That surprised me quite a bit when I was expecting only one of them.

Boey and Genny look pretty cool alongside the other two, but I wish we got Saber as one of them. Oh well.

And funny how none of the mages in this banner use magic like they normally do SoV. I was expecting them to hold some ball of energy to signify how they use their bodies to attack, and that energy ball would be reflective of the color unit they are.

I've saved up 50 orbs in preparation for this event, so I'm hoping to pull any one of them.

Lol I didn't even realise they have Tomes.
Though it also explains why they don't take damage for casting spells, as Tomes are used for that exact purpose.
The reason being that casting spells puts stress over the user but Tomes alleviate that by taking the drawbacks instead(also explaining why they have uses and can break), but Valentia doesn't have Tomes or Staves(at least proper ones. And also probably explaining how to use those spells, taking out the need to learn them by themselves(which would translate in the learnable spells from Echoes).

Use the thing that keeps you on the track. It helps significantly.

They kept the self damage aspect for Celica. Ragnarok does 5 damage to her after each use, but it does major damage if at full health, so slap Renewal on her and she's good to go.

Hm, maybe they've changed it. I've never tried it, but TvTropes says that's something people could do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have you tried using the brakes when you drift? In 200cc, it takes a while for the brakes to completely stop a vehicle compared to other engine sizes, so in 200cc, you can use it to your advantage by pressing down the brake button as you do one of those heavy turns in the curvy part of Neo Bowser City and the eight-like loop in Rainbow Road.

If you're doing Worldwide online races to accumulate VR, I can confirm that Mirror and 200cc online races start showing up around 6000+ VR, so if you play online, I think it'd still be a good idea to prepare for that 200cc race that might pop up during your VR run.

Though I admit I too prefer 150cc when it comes to racing, mostly because its the engine size I am most familiar with.

It did feel like that to me too
It's probably because it has less areas than originally
-No extra stages for specific Relics/Curios
-No map encounters
-Only half of the Guest Bosses are fought(and one of them is fought as a Stage Boss)
-No Hall of Ghosts
-Only one Tower of Fate stage and no Boss Rush(which I'm disappointed about tbh)
I don't mind it, considering the stages all have new areas and were almost completely reworked so they didn't have time or resources for everything.
And the Boss Rush was left out because the new battles take a lot of emphasis on the arena itself(pretty much everyone but Plague, Mole and Treasure)

You have to wait till E3
Shout's been giving Super Sentai localizations for a year or two now. It's not a matter of if, but rather when

Then why talk about chances? It's like saying Echoes has a higher chance of being localised than EOV
Well, big ****ing surprise it's already confirmed after all.

They kept the self damage aspect for Celica. Ragnarok does 5 damage to her after each use, but it does major damage if at full health, so slap Renewal on her and she's good to go.

I guess it puts a lot of perspective on how much streess casting it causes if the Tome can't completely negate it
That thing has a -10 HP cost, it's a good thing the Tome managed to halve its drawbacks

oh hey, I found a dead snake outside. sweet

Snake!? SNAKE!? SNAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!

Boss rush wouldn't work because of the Captain America boss fight

Echoes was already confirmed officially. MegaZord with a boner was not

Shovel Knight didn't have Black Knight or the Guest bosses in its Boss Rush, one fight that doesn't even need to be in the Boss Rush isn't a justification.

It's an analogy, it doesn't have to he 100% the same situation

Black Knight was refought in the level before the boss rush and those other fights were optional

Um, they kinda do

Sometimes I feel like one of the few people in this thread who still plays Smash from time to time

I don't even have the ability to play Smash. I sold my Wii and Wii U. Not that it matters because I don't enjoy playing Smash anymore. If I had stable internet I would enjoy it more. Maybe if things get better, I'll get a Switch and the inevitable Smash game that'll be released on it. I dunno.

Anyways, I think I know of only a couple folks here who still play Smash. The others are either quiet about it or simply moved on like I did.

When it comes out on the current console I'll play it again.

Especially if Bomberman, Isaac and or Snake are added.

Eh, I can see why, I only ever play online because CPUs are either annoying or stupid and none of my friemds are on the sake skill level as me so not even my brother enjoys playing 1v1 against me

Guess you won't play it then :^)))))

There's another reason
Story-wise, what reason is there to be a boss rush? None, as it's a prequel and the knights already joined forces. If the guy who recruited them fought against the Enchantress, then they'd use their brains

 

[Aurane]

To be fair, Bomberman has more of a chance then he did pre-Switch. I'd support his inclusion.

 

[Deleted member]

I know that there's not a good story reason but that didn't stop the PoS inconsistencies.
Besides, Specter fights King Knight and he had already joined the Enchantress Initiative so I don't think YCG thinks about story first and rather goes with the "gameplay first" philosophy

To be fair, Bomberman has more of a chance then he did pre-Switch. I'd support his inclusion.

"Chances", you keep using that word but I don't think you know what it means

 

[Aurane]

"Chances", you keep using that word but I don't think you know what it means

Chance. As in, a possibility of happening. You new to English?

 

[Deleted member]

Chance. As in, a possibility of happening. You new to English?

That implies that Smash characters are subject to an algorithm of random chance with a variable dependant on current game releases
So yeah, I don't think you're using it unser its proper context unless you believe in that

 

[Cutie Gwen]

God ****ing dammit. My school's making me do ANOTHER maths exam even though I did it last year and chose to take the long route in studying SPECIFICALLY so that I wouldn't have every exam at once. They're gonna drop my grade if I don't do the same ****ing exam twice. Fan ****ing tastic. And of COURSE the exam would be on a day I'm supposed to work meaning I have to call them about this, 2 days off in one week during my goddamn 'trial'. Of ****ing course my weekend starts off like this

 

[Opossum]

That is one specific definition of chance. The way he used it was fine. No need to be pedantic.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Finally, EO news

 

[Aurane]

That implies that Smash characters are subject to an algorithm of random chance with a variable dependant on current game releases
So yeah, I don't think you're using it unser its proper context unless you believe in that

The definition of chance that I'm using is a possibility of happening, as in it is likely to occur more so then it would be someone else. So by me saying Bomberman has a higher chance then he did pre-switch, what I'm implying is that the newer Bomberman game could affect his inclusion within Smash Bros because of both the game's success and the spike in Bomberman support that comes out of it.

Do I believe relevancy affects the inclusion for a character? Yes. Because we've seen it happen before on multiple occasions. While it doesn't affect them all, certain characters, like for example, the New Pokémon (Pichu, Lucario, and Greninja) are in the game because they're promoting the newer generation, and as a result, their inclusion was BECAUSE of something relevant.

I believe that I'm using the context of chance correctly. But really, I know you're just being a smart***. You're not very good at it. So I'll leave it at this, and you're free to reply but I have better things to do.

 

[praline]

Nah it means Bomberman has a chance.

 

[Aetheri]

The 'chance' of something happening isn't always considered under mathematical algorithms as such other variables can be considered to speak of a character's 'chances' over others...such as 'muh relevance/recency'...

 

[ChikoLad]

I decided to choose Nowi as the character I upgrade to 5-Stars.

She just seems to offer the most utility of all the blue units I have.

Plus, her and Ryoma both having Distant Counter when I get them both to Lv.40 could be fun.

After seeing Vision in not just the MCU, but also EMH, I'm seriously considering cheering during his inevitable death in Infinity War

Not a fan of Vision?

 

[Deleted member]

Here's an interesting debate - who is more iconic, Cloud or Mega Man?

I'll do something different. I'll list every Smash guest from who I feel is the most iconic to the least iconic.

1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 
   
5. 
6. 
   
7. 

Outside of Pac-Man, Sonic, and Bayo, this wasn't easy.

 

[Aurane]

I named my Breton Viridi in Oblivion and I forgot where I heard the name last.

Then after clearing the first dungeon I realized my character is the Goddess of Nature.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Not a fan of Vision?

Not in the slightest. It's probably just me being me, but I can't think of any reason for him to have fans. Granted, my admittedly limited exposure to the Marvelverse in general could be to blame and I simply came across versions people don't like. Only read Ultimate Spiderman and some Spider Gwen and Kamala Khan

Ohhh this is more difficult. I'll add some difficulty to it and put degrees of iconicness.

>>>=>>>>>
That's about how I'd do it, barring maybe putting Pac-Man two degrees above Sonic instead of one (just due to how sheerly iconic he is).
