Better than DYKG that's for sure.

I have a favour to ask. I heard that Sakurai said Shulk got in because of fan demand, someone on a thread said it was onoy because of the Monado Arts gimmick. I want to immaturely rub it in their face
They are both being short sighted. Its a mix of those two elements and so many more.

Speaking of character selection criteria... we should have the official GDC slides up sometime today for you guys.

Oh I forgot, I also went through and identified all the misinformation in DYKG videos. Need to write up a post about that.

You're implying that it would be fixed, ha. It's still gonna be there in the full game


Capcom says alot of things Ryuga. It probably is but something in my heart tells me that it isn't and we just need to let it go or do I have to remind everyone about :peachmelee: butt jiggle hitbox in Melee

Yep:dkmelee:
It still happens on the Player 2 side only though

How's it going, everyone?

I am writing an article for Source Gaming about a certain controversial Smash Bros. subject: clones!

Sakurai has said some fairly interesting things regarding the 6 clones in Melee in response to fan emails. We're digging some old stuff here. Of course, @ PushDustIn PushDustIn is helping with the translations.

It should be done by the end of this month, so look forward to it!

This menu music mash-up is god like. It gets you hyped in a heart beat.
When custom songs become available for the Wii U version, this is the first song I'm adding for the menus.

As someone who took the greater part of the wait between smash 3ds and smash wiiu defending the clones and especially dark pit this naturally intrigues me. Can't wait to see it.

I didn't even know that the 3DS and Wii U's menu music was different.

The song sounds the same in both to me.

The Wii U version has more instruments and a stronger backing, as well as an extended outro.

This just in, Kill la Kill's dub is amazing. Except for Senketsu. ****ing horrible, they DARE us that to substitute Momotaros?
Trivia: Senketsu's dub actor also voices :4robinm:.

I actually don't find him that bad. Satsuki's dubbed voice, on the other hand, is definitely inferior to the Japanese. Especially in her speeches.

3DS is midi, Wii U is orchestral.

Satsuki DID take getting used to, but Senketsu was voiced by Momotaros. I can't remember the dub's VA name, but it's not that he's bad, it's just he's bad here

I wasn't expressing disbelief or anything, I was just saying that I never really noticed they were different.

After having listened to both just now, I can definitely hear it.

They haven't fixed that yet......
What's to fix?The jiggle physics?Yeah i can see why that would be a problem especially with a character as popular as chun-li.

Interesting article, enjoyed reading it even if I disagree with some parts of it.

The comment regarding why Lucas and Roy are in a different situation from King K. Rool is something that I feel is worth noting. The thing about characters is that once they get into Smash, they are essentially "immortalized" for better or worse. In all but four of the cases (Pichu, Young Link, Dark Pit, and arguably Lucina), this has been for the better. As a result they gain a huge fan base and given how Super Smash Bros. is character-driven, these cuts hurt a lot which is why Sakurai specifically emphasized why he despise cutting veterans. It makes sense that DLC serves as an outlet for Lucas (SQUEEEEE!!!) and Roy fans (like myself :) ) to get their character back so that veterans without a likely future appearance can still come back providing they don't have any legal or technical complications. They also already have a move set done already to be based off of which helps with cutting development costs. This especially applies to Lucas due to his move set being mostly the same as the past game. However, it's also worth noting that despite the changes that some of Roy's changes are similar, if not the same as that of Marth. Regardless, Lucas and Roy as well as other popular veterans are basically guaranteed money for DLC should they not make the initial roster.

Unfortunately for King K. Rool, he's not a veteran. He doesn't have a "proven" fan base because the moment Sakurai mentions him in a negative light or another DK character get in instead, a lot of the less dedicated supporters will turn on K. Rool (look at what happened to Ridley). Furthermore if he gets in, he will be a fully unique character never seen before (thought to be fair, this also applies to other characters). The move set has to be created from scratch and it has to be developed to where people aren't going to use "lol too similar" as a reason to not buy K. Rool. The opportunity cost of developing K. Rool is higher than that of Lucas and Roy and I am 99% certain that he has yet to be planned for a Smash game.

I still think he's the most likely newcomer for DLC given all he has going for him (and let's face it, he has weak competition outside of maaaaaayyyyybbbbeee Dixie Kong), but recency is not an issue that can be totally ignored for K. Rool even with the ballot giving his chances a significant boost.

I expected this to be a mash-up of the Melee/Brawl/4 menu themes and now I'm disappointed.

It's Tiny Compared to when it had all the veterans.
An Icon Representation of it's size on my end.

:4lucas::4lucas::4lucas::4olimar::4olimar::4olimar:
:4lucas::4lucas::4lucas::4olimar::4olimar::4olimar:
:4lucas::4lucas::4lucas::4olimar::4olimar::4olimar:
Literally that exact size :p
Hmm, that's weird. It still looks the same on my end.
Though, you reminded me. I'll have to take out our boy from my signature now that he's confirmed.:4feroy: I'll probably switch him out with Pokemon Trainer since he's technically a veteran just like Roy.:p

EDIT: OH, now I see what you mean. The same thing happened to my signature that you described as soon as I posted this.:laugh: I'll need to find a way to fix this lol.

I never got jiggle physics in video games.

Don't get me wrong. Boobs are kind of the best thing ever.

And I do think fanservice has a place in video games.

But jiggle physics are just.... odd.

That's not how boobs work.

It would be funny if I know it wasn't trying to say "HEY LOOK BOOBS," with how exaggerated it always is.

Boobs jiggle with movement. But not like jello.

Anime also 'suffers' from this lack of knowledge. T-shirts don't mold onto boobs like that!

Indeed.

I can at least understand why they do jiggle physics though as it's simply exaggerating a quality that's already there.


The T-shirt thing is just LOL though.

Yeah, it should be moderate. I find it hilarious when it's overdone though.

Yeah I can't help but say WEEEEEEEEEEEEE whenever I see it.

Breasts being exaggerated in media annoys me. It's going 'HEY LOOK AT THE SEXY BOOBS!'
My reaction is pretty much "STOP TAUNTING ME FOR BEING FLAT
"

And as for the media? What do we expect? It's a part of the body people are attracted to.

Like pecs for men.

The only time I've liked ''HEY! I HAVE BOOBS LOOK AT THEM" is with Power Girl.

And even there it was stupid, despite them having her use her boob window to her benefit in combat situations.

I've also noted that in shows run by gay men that have a heavily gay and female fanbase?

Asses ahoy for the male characters, even if it's still clothed.

There will be butt shots.
