Metal Gear was first released on the MSX2. The NES Metal Gear is a different game.
Xenoblade, Xenogears and Xenosaga are different IPs. The Xenoblade IP, which Shulk belongs to, is Nintendo owned.
Metal gear on NES is an amliorioration but it's the same game.
But you did. You conflate Xenosaga with Xenoblade which is just wrong.

I want to take a second to try and help you out here because I feel like you already have shown improvement since I first responded to one of your posts and I would love to see you continue to contribute if we can get you the rest of the way. (

if you feel you have already put this matter to bed I can remove this next part.)

what ya did is fine. I tend to be more blunt with my criticisms anyway. I will reinforce that while the user in questions posts have improved, there are still many grounds for improvement to make them less flamey. Posts intentions need to be clearer on their part, author repeatedly states what they meant to say in later posts or that the error is on someone else. Today’s was particularly bad imo due to many highly opinionated or outright wrong statements. I do not like coming down hard on individuals within this thread. I have warned and advised the user on how to explain their arguments or why some of them do not fit well. While improvement is there, the general problems still exist. I am personally hoping our differing approaches will lead to a net positive outcome. My warning to said user still stands though. I also am glad that there was a very civil response overall compared to the last time this sort of thing happened.

’s regularly scheduled reminder that they have extra noms.Okay
First I want to say that as a fellow lover of numbers and statistics I understand where you are coming from when you respond like you do, anyone can state how they feel about something but when you back it up with numbers it adds credibility to your statement, this is a pretty basic fact about debate. However, one of the first things the professor said in my Stats class was that you should never trust statistics because they can be twisted to say just about anything you want them to say. I think you are trying to use numbers to back up your statements but are falling into a trap of creating misleading statistics where no correlation actually exists. Using statistics in a debate is a fantastic way to add support to your claims, however you need to make sure that you are thinking critically about those statistics so that you avoid using one that would hurt your argument.
The second part is your approach, even if your statistics were flawless just rattling off a big list of them or having every single statement you make be followed with a statistic can come off as grating and turn people off of what you are saying. Remember that while being right is one aspect of a debate, the main point is to convince others that you are right which you won't be able to do if no one is willing to listen to you.
Here is how I would approach your posts for future days. Start by splitting up your sections into Chance and Want and make sure that you leave opinions in the Want section. You should aim to keep your Chance section as unbiased as possible so avoid wild speculations or at least preface those as such and make it clear they didn't affect your scoring much. I would also work to cut down the number of stats that you include in your post, pick the best 3 that most clearly support what you're trying to say and sprinkle them into your post.
I really think you can do this, I would hate to see anyone forced out of participation from something that I enjoy as much as I do. If you have any questions or simply would like some further advice on improving your posts feel free to PM me any time, I'm on a lot less lately but I'll try to respond as soon as I can.
In this theard, it is expected to respond according to expectations, and I am accused of flamey the discussions by not being consistent with an expected vision. You say that while being right is one aspect of a debate, the main point is to convince others that I'm right. Out, I do not want to be right, I participate in a survey. I do not want to convince, I participate in a survey. I feel especially the will of others to want to give wrong, through frenetic reactions, and those are the egos who are involved.
Well yeah, that’s what every third party character would require.
Nope, I mentioned it because of a) Where any potential discussions between Nintendo and Warner could go. I strongly doubt any 4th party IPs made the shortlist (partly for convinience's sake on Nintendo's end, I'd imagine), but doesn't prevent them from being very briefly considered a la James Bond. And b) that affects Maxwell's potential moveset in very minor - but potentially earthshattering to the hardcore fanbase - ways. Like Maxwell using a normal hangglider wouldn't be a big deal. Loaning Batman's cape for the maneuver would no doubt set off an Internet firestorm amongst the Smash purists. Even if it was for one frame.
