I found a new image to adorn my signature. Get ready to OD on adorableness...

Spoiler: Warning!!! This image is lethal!!!

Doesn't change the fact that he's a tax fraud hack.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Ura I'm digging that Smash 5 avatar. Where and how did ya get it, out of curiosity?

'Muricans did this to themselves by voting Trump.

Hopefully they'll learn... but we know what's really gonna happen; Trump's gonna get four more years.

I''d say its more the country as a whole rather than just trump.

There's of big people who could be blamed and stuff like that has gone on for years.

 

[Chrono.]

I mean I won't lie, personally Geno would be the least interesting newcomer to me.

As either a Mario character or a Square Enix character.

I'd take Captain Toad and a DQ character (that isn't Slime) over him any day.

That said, I've never played SMRPG so it's not that I dislike the character. Just not really familiar with him.

 

[Z25]

Speaking of Geno...

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Man,.. what a bloody waste of a week off...

I was supposed to have the day off today but the person had to go to work and I had to walk the dog in 90°F.

 

[Z25]

Also on the new heroes banner my free pull was siegbert. Nice, I had him with decent ivs though.

So I gave db 3 to summer innes. Now Innes reaches 62 attack upon initiating.

What if Geno is in, but only as an Assist Trophy?

 

[Aurane]

How about Ge-no, your joke sucks. :v

Of course it sucked. Why did you feel the need to point that out? Lol

 

[Chrono.]

Speaking of Geno...

I forgot about this series.

Have these guys done Elma yet?

What if Geno is in, but only as an Assist Trophy?

I'd imagine it'd get a good amount of backlash.

If I had to scale it, it'd be somewhere in between Bomberman and Waluigi.

That’s pretty ****ty. Make sure to wear sunscreen and stay hydrated!

 

[Deleted member]

I think people are exaggerating how good of a chance Geno or K.Rool have because of Ridley.
Ridley's popularity didn't make him get added but rather made Sakurai change his mind. Had Ridley not have any size issues, he would have been added a long time ago.
K.Rool doesn't have any size or licensing issues, and while Geno does have the latter, he's nowhere as near as popular or relevant.

Snake was prepared anyway.

Yes actually:

Neat! I'll watch it in a bit.

 

[AlphaSSB]

Actually, that seems decently likely. I do think we'll see Geno in the game in some form, but never really considered as an Assist Trophy.

Hell, Bomberman was a requested character, and with Snake back, Bomberman made it in as an Assist Trophy. With Cloud back, it's not a stretch that Geno would make the leap from Mii Costume to Assist Trophy.

I always forget to put on sunscreen pff Luckly I used my dads big umbrella to block the sun.

Though this sun is going to make me turn into stright up dark chocolate brown if I keep forgetting to use sunscreen.

 

[Z25]

That source gaming video is interesting.

It proposes that geno could be an echo of mii gunner.

How would you all feel about this?

Honestly I forget to put on sunscreen too, I turn to a lobster though.

Yeah it's a custom Smash Ultimate icon for Andy done by user splat https://smashboards.com/threads/newcomer-stock-icons.455706/page-3#post-22152936

Here's hoping that my avi will be among the Smash Ultimate stock icons soon huh?

I think it’d be kinda dumb. But whatever atleast Geno would be playable.

At that point you should just keep the costume, give him an Assist Trophy and call it a day lol.

It would be weird and I don't even want Geno.
Also I really don't get why people think Echoes change anything for anyone. It's getting annoying.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I knew I could count on Curious Villager to make SSBU stock icons for Layton <3

Apparently sakurai said that the mii gunner plays the way he thinks geno could.

I think using them as a base could work. Geno has a lot of gun attacks but also explosion like ones too.

 

[Starlight_Lily]

Of course it sucked. Why did you feel the need to point that out? Lol

Because I saw a chance to make a bad pun, so I took it. Give me a chance to make a bad pun, that's prime bait for me. :v

If he’s like the Ganondorf to Mii Fighters Captain Falcon that’s one thing, but if he’s an echo fihter that would be pretty dumb.

Thanks for posting that thread.

Those are some cool ass icons.

Especially that Dragonborn one.

I think one character that's been getting traction is an example of people misunderstanding what EFs are, and that's Ken Masters.

It's true that Ken started as nothing more than a Ryu palette swap, but both started to have differences as early as SF2. And by later games while they would still be pretty similar, they would have many differing moves. Furthermore, the Ryu we got in Smash is very clearly based on the Ryu from later games, as he has all his command normals and specials he got from Alpha and beyond it that Ken has never used (the Donkey Kick side smash being the most obvious.) So if Ken were to be in the game, a lot of his toolkit would be similar, but some changes would have to be made beyond the Final Smash. Like losing all of Ryu's normals, the Donkey Kick and a different Focus Attack.

I think Shadow is in a similar spot. He could work as a Sonic semi clone, but as a straight up EF would be a little weird. As a lot of Sonic's moves show off Sonic's more playful/showoff-y side that wouldn't really vibe with Shadow. I think that goes double for Dark Samus as she acts like a literal alien mutant thing and even her AT showed very different... Everything from Samus.

 

[Deleted member]

BTW, I watched Solo today.
All I'm gonna say is that it was very good, it's a much better anthology film than Rogue One, and it sucks that it didn't do well in terms of box office.

 

[AndreaAC]

:> I don't think Ridley didn't had any size issues that prevented him from being added prior...

In the Melee intro he wasn't THAT big. That may be why when it was revealed back then into E3, many thought Ridley was going to be playable. What Sakurai said about him being "Too big" may have been said out of the blue or something. Or maybe he forgot this. A limitation that may have been considerable was maybe coming up with his moveset that time, as the current playable Ridley shows some moves similar to the ones he had in Prime 1/Prime 3 as Meta/Omega Ridley and Brawl Ridley/Other M Ridley like that scraping move on the floor, and for some reason an air kick like DK's. Something like that.

xD But eh, he's in already after a million years so that's something.

I mean tbf one can argue that the camera perspective could have simply made Ridley look smaller there. I love camera trickery cause it can make stuff like this happen

Shadow is super cocky and showoff-y though, especially if we go to SA2/Heroes era Shadow, when Shadow WAS a Sonic clone. He's very much the shadow of Sonic in terms of having very similar personality traits and abilities, but differing lifestyle and outlook on the world, leading him to have differing ideals. His personality traits are still very similar though.

This is the same character that says "I'M THE COOLEST" when he takes damage (btw he better do this if he gets into Smash). :V

On the subject of Shadow and other missing ATs, I did think of something that makes them more likely to be playable in my mind. And that's the fact that Ultimate is based on Wii U's framework and lifts many things from that game. Any of the ATs from Wii U that return in Ultimate likely weren't touched and were copy-pasted straight over. So it would be odd for them to inexplicably replace Shadow with Knuckles when the Shadow AT was already good to go, unless they were planning to make Shadow playable. Same goes for Isabelle and other such characters.

Reminds me of when modders turned off the camera for lv3 supers in FighterZ. You could see all the wacky trickery like this

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

hm, Yangs Astral Finish in Cross Tag battle is better then the other rwby ones-
*sees the first 4 seconds are a infront of a black screen and has only 2 seconds of a background right at the end*

Its like they wanted the rwby characters to be bad

It's one of the reasons Heavy Rain pisses me off. I'm becoming a **** for cinematography and Heavy Rain occasionally shows multiple camera perspectives in a scene. Maybe it's because all I can remember is Jason's stupid death by bad parenting and bad writing but the multiple camera angle think COULD have been used like a comic book or COULD have been used to show something new in the scene. Or show the point of view for multiple characters including the driver of the car

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

ay ay ay yo yo yo, Yo know who really needs to be in Smash.

my baby Ringabel

 

[ChikoLad]

It's funny that you guys are talking about camera perspective trickery in 3D models because I did exactly that in my last Y'shtola render.

Because I haven't worked out the materials fully yet and can't use more advanced shading techniques as a result, I had to rely on pulling certain bones into weird positions or enlarging body parts, because they didn't look right at the perspective I set with normal proportions or positions. I then added some fake lighting and colour enhancements in Photoshop as well as some extra sharpening to make it more crystal clear.
