EDIT: Oh, and
She has a knife and needles.
So... Peach.By that logic, let's complain about how all of the Nintendo female representatives so far are blond and have no weapons.
I got the point. That just wasn't the best example to use.
Understood. Just happened to be the first thing to come to mind when wondering of generic evaluations based on hair color.I got the point. That just wasn't the best example to use.
Regardless, Zelda's definitely a Brunette in her Brawl and SSB4 appearances. If we're going by original designs, we'd also have to say that Samus has green hairUnderstood. Just happened to be the first thing to come to mind when wondering of generic evaluations based on hair color.
Btw, Zelda is totally blond in my book. Even if Smash seems to go for the dirty blond look.
Because it makes him not especially unique for a move set. What does Chrom bring to the game, as far as gameplay, that Marth and Ike do not? Or that Roy, Lyn or Lucina would not?Is it the blue hair and sword? 'Cause that's a really stupid reason to hate someone.
Zelda and WFT aren't blonde. Rosalina has a wand, ZSS has a stun gun/laser whip and regular Samus has many, many weapons. Sheik also has a chain...By that logic, let's complain about how all of the Nintendo female representatives so far are blond and have no weapons.
Additionally, possession of the same type of weapon is probably a greater factor in making characters similar than not using a weapon is. WFT, Peach and Rosalina are totally different, if you don't want to count any of them as having weapons.Give us more diversity or else UNREASONABLE HATE!
Negatives:
Umm...- PC exclusive
- PC Indie exclusive at that
- Not associated with Nintendo in any way. Even Snake has more merits on his own.
- Not particularly well known, thus not legendary.
Yeah, I just editted my post whilst you were QUOTEing me.Umm...
You're not alone in that. At all. Chrom's my first lord too but he's...really generically heroic? Is it because everyone around him has far more fleshed out personalities and quirks that Chrom himself comes off as such a toned down character?Want - 20% - People always say that your first Fire Emblem Lord sticks with you. Guess I'm a counterexample. Really, as I keep on repeating, Stahl is a more interesting character to me. Those who play Awakening know that this is quite the insult. I found him drab and boring, and would happily take Anna and Roy, or at least Robin, over him.
Oh, boy! I can't wait. I'm actually thinking about an Ace Attorney post for that day. It might be time for me to bust out some Manfred von Karma...Like a certain duo I've been nominating.
This part literally killed me. I often snicker when I'm reading people's posts, but this one made me burst out laughing. Kudos.Chrom: Umm.. it can light up blue?
OcarinaOfDoom: YAY LET'S MAKE A MOVESET BASED ON A SWORD LIGHTING UP DIFFERENT COLORS!
That picture is awesome. Don't be surprised if I start using it.Did you make it yourself?
Ah, it doesn't matter. I pretty much assume that it means five noms and count it as such anyway. Evey once in a while I get a (seemingly) confused person that puts a x3 or such... I just make it x5.Don't forget to put x5
Gratz on 100 posts! I think that's a worthwhile reason for it, tooEdit: My 100th post being me hating on Chrom <3
Hey, look! some one who makes worse Quote-puns than me! You have earned my utmost respect.Yeah, I just editted my post whilst you were QUOTEing me.
(ba-dum-tish)
Snake being in Smash was weird, sure. However, I'm willing to give a pass to one of the most famous video game characters out there, and after having him in Brawl, I don't particularly want to lose his very unique moveset nor his hilarious codec taunts. Had he never been in a Smash game, I probably wouldn't support him for Smash. After seeing how well he was implemented in Brawl, I don't want him to ever leave.I'm SURE that, based on most of your opinions about it being a "Nintendo fighting game", you despise Snake being in as well. If you're going to go around saying it's a Nintendo fighting game and some characters don't belong, yet you're on the "Keep Snake" wagon not because of Kojima's friendship with Sakurai, but because he's a unique character, stop being a hypocrite.
Late response, but I had to go to school.You're not alone in that. At all. Chrom's my first lord too but he's...really generically heroic? Is it because everyone around him has far more fleshed out personalities and quirks that Chrom himself comes off as such a toned down character?
Also I think you're the first person I've seen that remembers who Stahl is. Ironically in to the players he seems to be what Kellam is made out to be in the game.
This post actually got me thinking. Maybe what changes everything for me is that I married Chrom and then the story evolved into this complex tragedy sort of thing, which worked fantastically well. But I guess it's true that otherwise his character would have pretty much nothing. Hadn't really given it thought before.Late response, but I had to go to school.
I think the big problem with Chrom is they tried to make him another everyman character. This meant that many parts of his personality had to be downplayed in order to make him more appealing to everybody.
Do you see the big problem? There's already an avatar of the player, so an "everyman" character was redundant. Heck, Stahl, Kellam, and possibly Donny could also be considered everymen, so he's competing with 4 others.
Everymen typically are underdogs, so they can root for his triumph and are better able to relate to them. Chrom, on the other hand, is already in a position of high honor, making it harder to relate to him. We also rarely seem Chrom struggle, as all the army tactics go over to the avatar, so Chrom ends up mostly just there to act as a main character. Heck, I'd even argue that when You-know-who did You-know-what in Chapter 9, the opposing army was more affected than Chrom was. When you think about that, it's kind of sad.
As for Stahl, I might admit to liking him a bit more than most people. Really, I like all three folks of the "Underdog Trio" of Stahl, Kellam, and Donny. Their cases of everymen who, I feel, succeed. They feel the most like real people would act, outside of their specific quirks, and just seem like nice guys. Stahl's my favorite of the trio, though, as he comes closest to a normal person to me. He's humble, kind, and thoughtful, and all around feels like he's fighting just because he feels like he should be. Maybe the fact that I S ranked him with Sully while almost everyone else was still having Cs may have something to do with that, though the marriage was an intentional decision.
you NEED to play cave story.quote: who? I'm just going to leave a 1%
want: 0%
I don't really want someone I don't know sorry
Would rather see other characters or just don't find him appealing, I think.you NEED to play cave story.
Here. it's free. have fun.
besides, what's with all the zeros in wants? he's a cool character.
but ZERO? really, I think there's more zeros then Cole!Would rather see other characters or just don't find him appealing, I think.
My want for Pac-Man decided my rating, personally.but ZERO? really, I think there's more zeros then Cole!
he's the most nintendo indie game, probably. and nintendo has been liking indie games recently.My want for Pac-Man decided my rating, personally.
I also don't want him in Smash since he's not really a Nintendo all star.
Eh. That's not saying much, honestly. Not a lot of popular indie games with Nintendo.he's the most nintendo indie game, probably. and nintendo has been liking indie games recently.
oh, well, I'm trying to justify him as much as I can, I really like him.Eh. That's not saying much, honestly. Not a lot of popular indie games with Nintendo.
