That short consumed me with an imminent fear for humanity. The sadistic nature of a persistent torture inflicted on Pete was met with laughter, it is honestly repugnant. Frozen was great, but the audience disturbed me. There was no reaction when the child ate Sven's used carrot, but everyone thought it was grotesque when he did it after a lifelong friendship. That movie taught me things about the general populace.

It was also great in the box office, I cannot believe that it almost overtook "Smaug" in its 6th week. It was certainly one of my favorite Disney movies. Powerful females roles that weren't forced, relevant morals applicable to a modern era. It was spectacular. Just wanted to share my thoughts on it.
Hearing everyone else talk about Frozen frustrates me as I have yet to see it. Also, hi, MorbidAltruism!

Hi, it feels weird to be back. The new format is kind of trippy. I guess I didn't miss much though as Sakurai is taking his break. I did miss members asserting that Phantom was an assist trophy, that is my greatest regret. I wanted to stay and laugh... tragic.

I would apologize about talking about Frozen, but it has been out for 6 weeks now. So you'll get no sympathy from me :ike:!

Hey Morbid. Didn't notice that it was you. I'm used to the Vin Diesel avatar of yours.

Anyone has a good topic? Maybe something about Metroid. Or what changes Olimar could have.

Yes, I really miss the Diesel, I got into the controversial spirit, after that I got in the Christmas spirit, and after that ... the Kate Beckinsale spirit. I should probably change it back soon.

Anyways, Smash talk... Smash talk... well Mewtwo is going to return. :awesome:

I won't spoil anything for you.

*Pssst... Mufasa dies*
NO! Simba was my favorite character!

Actually, I'm new here. I was just pointing out that l've never been on the same thread as you.

Okay, back to Smash 4!

Heh. I know what you mean. I might go back to a Spider-Man avatar. But for now, I'm going for a Gohan one.

Mewtwo? What should his Final Smash be? Psycho Cut?

His final smash would entail that he comes out of the closet to admit that he is a female, after that, he would become Mega Femtwo Y.

In all seriousness, I want him to hurl a herd of Tauros at the other players.

This is a random question I want to share, what would be your reaction to a Baby Mario + Yoshi duo?
Some serious surprise.

I don't think Sakurai would change one of the original SSB characters so drastically.

The Stork's a cool idea if he wants to incorporate the babies somehow, but I'm not sure if Sakurai has thought about it.

I know I'm late on this, but:

No Mii: HELL YEAH!

No Takamaru: Meh.

No Ridley: I'd be upset and disappointed. I wouldn't be seriously angry though. I'd probably get over it pretty quickly, though I'd still be upset because a countless toobiggers/toobigots will become total ***holes and continue to insist they were right no matter what.

No Pac-Man: Couldn't care less about him not being in.

No K. Rool: I'd be rather upset, though less so if we at least get Dixie.

No Palutena: Ah well.

No Isaac: Don't know enough about his franchise to care very much about him missing out.

No Little Mac: Upsetting. Everything I know is a lie.

Hold on. Here we go, I found it.


I made sure to get the 10 minute version to get the point across.

Seriously, Yoshi just needs tweaks. But his moveset is good.

As in just having Baby Mario incorporated in to Yoshi's moveset? Because if that's what you're saying, then I'd be pretty happy with it, as long as the Baby's don't become an overly essential part of his moveset like Olimar's pikmin, or Rosalina's Luma.

What's with all the negative responses? I'll admit Yoshi isn't bad, but BM is probably the most important thing in the Yoshi's Island series. Incorporating him into a moveset wouldn't be too hard, and Yoshi would barely have to change.

Sorry, I am just responding to you to reference the options.

No Mii: This would be a delightful surprise, I have come to accept the notion of Miis in Smash. I do not think that it will be inherently bad as many insinuate. What would be more fun than having an epic duel between Hitler and Jesus? Nothing. The roster would maintain a more professional tone without them though, that is much more ideal.

No Takamaru: I have no problem with this, he doesn't pertain to my interests and I prefer to keep exclusive characters out of the game as much as possible. There are better choices that are popular in more than one region.

No Ridly: Doesn't matter, I am not necessarily expecting him.

No K. Rool: Same as Ridley.

No Palutena: This would be a detriment to the roster in my opinion. Hopefully a suitable Kid Icarus representative would still make it in the game if she didn't. I feel as though the series has a great chance to introduce a new character. Palutena is actually one of my personal requests.

No Isaac: I do not know much about him either.

No Little Mac: I would probably commit suicide (not really though).

I'd not really like it, considering it restricts Yoshi to a representative of the Island games when his character is so much more than that. Granted, because I don't play Yoshi, I wouldn't hate it like I would if Diddy turned into a duo character...unless, of course, Baby Mario's shrill crying accompanied him into the game.

Hello, everyone! There is something I'd like to bring up today!

Keep in mind Roy and Mewtwo technically count as new additions while I present this:

Okay, so Brawl had a total of 18 New Characters (this includes Toon Link, ZS Samus, Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard). Assuming there are no more characters with others within them (EX: Sheik, Pokemon Trainer) A 45 character roster would feature 10 new characters total. A 48 character roster would feature 13 new characters total, and a 50 character roster would feature 15 new characters Total. And finally a 53 Character Roster would match Brawl as 18 new characters total.

Which roster amount is more likely and why?

I will always speculate on the least possible amount of new additions as Sakurai introduced us to the notion that the roster is feasible at 40.

48, because we are getting a few less newcomers this time around.

So 5 newcomers? Then there would only be one left.
That isn't taking cuts into account; however, I see your point. Despite Sakurai actually stating that the roster was feasible at 40, he would be foolish to not include more characters. So that is what he is going to do. Out of your options, the 48 one seems plausible. I believe that we are going to get "capped" at 50. So anything under that (50) is a rational opinion from my perspective.

What about exactly at 50?
