Real talk: would you want Diddy and Dixie to be a team combo in smash?

i would rather have her separate or even combined with kiddie but I would take a tag team with Diddy if it meant Dixie was playable

Not to be that guy, but I'm pretty sure she's being sarcastic.

Anyways wasn't FE11 pretty much a port of the NES version with prettied up DS visuals?

If any female I know would volunteer to dress as Dixie while I'm in tourneys doing the HOO HAH!, then yes I would love for it to happen





In all seriousness, both deserve to stay separate due to their uniqueness. Had it was Melee, I would've accepted the tag team option

Why the hell would anyone pick South Pole?

Do they hate Santa? Is there an Anti-Santa movement that would pick Team South Pole?

Why do they hate jolly fat bearded men?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Penguins are indeed awesome but the fact is: Free presents > Penguins

The announcement of tentative title 'Pokemon Z' must be so close now. The movies been out for a few weeks now and the teaser has gone on long enough. I'm not sure if Coro Coro will have any news in the next edition, but surely there'll be an announcement in the next Direct.

 

[Chrono.]

The Direct feels so close yet so far.

I seriously wouldn't be surprised if we get a Direct next week.

I'm dying to see Zygarde's new form, so much mystery yet so much want

 

[DoodleDuck97]

Not sure if it's the right time to ask but....

So when do you guys think Nintendo will announce another Direct?

For some reason I feel they will probably announce one somewhere around mid to end August...

I feel like we might get one very soon. I don't know why but I just feel it nearing.

How the Santa haters stole Christmas.

By picking the South Pole in Splatoon.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Actually, K.Rool stole Christmas. If he can't be playable, we can't have nice things. Except FE

 

[Radical Bones]

Me too. He's so underwhelming in his current form. I wanna see him tear Xeneras and Yvetal apart!

A few people on Serebii have a theory that XY2/Z might bring a fair few new Pokemon seeing as Gen 6 only bought 70 odd new ones. I doubt it due to Mega's are considered new, but still. The weird blob Pokemon is pretty suss.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I'm especially curios about Zygarde's type, hope this isn't Xerneas speculation all over again

Considering XY weren't even patched when ORAS came out to allow both to comunicate while using the new megas, this would create even more problems

 

[epicmartin7]

I just found something kind of cool. You guys remember the homebrew scene for the 3DS and how you needed Cubic Ninja for it? Apparently this guy is saying all you need Ironfall now which is free on the eShop. The only reason I bring this up is because I assume it may allow custom music on the 3DS Version of Smash 4 and also Custom Themes. I'm really not the type of person to do extreme mods/hacking at all, but I'll possibly try it out and see what it offers .

I always loved the cartoony visuals of the crits in the GBA games.

 

[Pokechu]

this is off topic

but i just felt the need to tell everyone how Asama, from Fire Emblem Fates

has just called me an idiot and I feel offended even though i already knew it

Spoiler

technically he called Nishiki an idiot but because I fell for it too, considering how he can promote into Mountain Priest and how his eyes are always closed....

I wish the newest games would keep the flashy animations from the GBA era.
I honestly didn't like using Flying units in Awakening due to how boring their animations were, now compare to the Wyvern Lords' battle animations in SS for example.

Man I wish they'd go back to the GBA-style animations for the newer games.

3D models haven't really worked out for them since... ever.

Not until after October. But good thing it'll be hoodie season again.

I love that season

Man I wish they'd go back to the GBA-style animations for the newer games.

Yeah man those critical attacks look very weak compared to the GBA ones.

Which I kinda imagine that if they have crits in the same style of the GBA games then it'll just be Ike and Robin's final smash

Out of 7 billion people on the planet, I'm pretty sure you're the only one.

Seriously, though, grinding is basically a taboo among FE fans, especially with it being tedious at best and next to impossible at worst in FEs without world maps. How could you possibly think you're the only one?

Honestly only in FE2 do you need to really grind to beat the game. Most FE games you only need to baby some units at certain intervals. Though in FE1 you'll need to grind to make Healers not-garbage/die in one hit.

Took a lot of grinding to make it past Chapter 4: Battle 10. I swear that's the most poorly designed level in FE history.

In all seriousness, great article! I'd have to agree with Sakurai on this one. Clones really do offer unique ways of playing from another characters moveset. I do love satisfactory of when you do a forward smash with .

Cool article dont think i know that wario wouldn't be in melee even if they cut clones fact till now

 

[Frostwraith]

Huge thanks to @PushDustIn and the other translators for their help.

Also, the most interesting thing is how Sakurai saw the addition of clones as a form of fanservice and expected fans to be happy those characters are playable in the first place.

Another interesting aspect is how Sakurai decides against characters as alts due to character individuality. As we know, Alph was meant to be a clone as well.

The Koopalings are, of course, an exception. I mean, who would've wanted to see 7 clones of a character? Besides, coming up with 7 variations of a moveset and have each stand out in its own ought not to be that easy, not to mention the fact Bowser Jr. was almost cut from the game, one of the reasons being the successful implementation of the Koopaling alts.

Ugh, that looks seriously awful. I miss the FE GBA sprites.

I would never understand why developers went for ugly blurry thick outlined prerender sprites in game series that previously had professionally made well animated sprites. It annoys me to this day that this is still happening from big companies. It's like they don't care about good pixel art anymore.

Seriously, the DS is more powerful than the GBA and they don't even bother stepping it up. And don't get me started on games that stretch and rotates sprites for an animation, they tend to look terrible. Yes, even in Pokemon.

i remember seeing an article somewhere about how technical limitations are a good thing because they mean sprite artists have to be more creative, in the same way that the limitations of sonnets force it
