On the brief subject of Noah, who has him on ignore and who doesn't? I'd just like to know if the people that even respond to him are in minority or majority right now.

Having him on ignore has lowered my blood pressure, I think.
I really don't care because he just gives up when I argue with him

and I feel bad there are people in this site who agree with this dumb vid :facepalm:

I don't have him on ignore. Should I? What are the benefits?
  • Easier to avoid being sucked into Noah's infamous blocks of whining, forgetting that his opinion doesn't matter more than your own
  • Less difficult to focus on the discussion of others, since the subject is often different from what Noah is talking about
  • Less "Alright, I have to tear this guy a new one" moments
  • Luxurious view of what chaos Noah is stirring up without being affected by it yourself
  • You'd be a pretty cool guy in my eyes
The only real drawback is that whatever Noah says is left to your imagination, but you're always provided with the option to view ignored content at the bottom of the page if your curiosity truly peaks.
I had put him on ignore for a while, but then the thread became too confusing. So I unblocked him.

Lucky for me, I'm usually asleep when all the drama takes place here. :p
I don't see why you'd be confused when it's straightforward enough as knowing Noah's playing the victim/only sane man while 2 or 3 others are providing counter-arguments he dismisses simply because he doesn't agree with them. Trust me, I used to be anti-block Noah, but this is a much more relaxing change of pace to not argue with the face of narcissism itself.
rofl, Noah came at JUST the right time.:laugh:
Is there ever a time when hearing from Noah why Noah is incredibly right while you're not isn't just the right time? :rolleyes:

I have a new (hilarious) topic.



GamesRadar predicts that these characters would be cut.

Yes because Super Smash Brothers is canon game to both the Mario and Zelda franchise.

also thanks for remarking on the other things I mentioned.

@ AEM.....sorry dude, but I'm with Noah here. Like I think it's pretty safe to assume that Bowser and Dry Bowser are the same person...like....his name is bowser with an adjective in front. And in mario generally that adjective means skeleton. Why on earth would you just ASSUME they were different? Also the only real point you made for it, was that they are playable in the same game....baby mario.
But Creator, don't you remember how all of the babies are present in the Spin-off games?

TIME TRAVEL.


(no those games are just spinoffs, but I do see yours and Saturn's point there...)

It's just that Dry Bowser was confirmed to be a separate individual in a Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, which is a similar case to Metal Mario who is now also considered to be his own separate individual as well.
Wouldn't you think that after this is confirmed, he would remain to be a separate person from Bowser?
(Thats where I stand my ground).

See, for a lot of those characters, there are reasons several of them could be low priority, particularly in regard to Toon Link or Wolf. That said, these sort of 'dude bro' Smash podcasts never evaluate the characters objectively, they just spew crap about how "it's his time to go," or "he's a stupid character." That's the low caliber type of speculation that I had hoped we would have collectively moved past after Brawl, but no, these guys and others just have to keep it alive.

Though to be fair, the general stupidity of thinking Marth has a chance to be cut is infectious, having taken over even our Rate Their Chances thread to the point where he's being voted on at all.

Ew. I saw that in the Wii U General Discussion. They honestly think Marth is getting the boot, the face of Fire Emblem? Most of their justifications were recency. "Oh, it's Gen 1, it's too old. Marth hasn't had a game in years. Lucario can't come back, look at the patterns!!!!" And my favorite: "We actually have proof Toon Link is leaving, the Spirit Tracks stage." I want to punch them.

Marth, Pokemon Trainer, Lucas and R.O.B. are obvious no's, but the rest of them do have at least a good few points against them and I wouldn't mind them going. To re-iterate what I said earlier in the thread - if I wanted to play Brawl, I'd play Brawl, so if they have to remove three or four characters for the sake of giving themselves more development time to spend on the quality/quantity of newcomers, I won't be particularly upset.

For ****'s sake. Marth and R.O.B.? I can remotely grasp why they would see the other characters leaving, but those two? Somehow I get the feeling GamesRadar does this kind of thing just to get views and get people talking about their channel, for better or worse. It's all about the attention...

The fat one in pink is hypnotically tempting to punch in the first place.

This. I completely agree. I mean, I play Melee so I can play as Mewtwo and Roy. Although the reasons they have against the other characters that have a chance of being cut are bull****. If characters are going to be cut, it won't be because they're not recent. It's because there won't be enough time to develop them. That's it. Not recency, nothing. The only exceptions that have happened are Young Link (when he was virtually replaced by Toon Link), and Pichu (who was overall hated and considered a joke to EVERYONE).

But hey, I'll pull a Bradley Cooper and look at the silver lining to this stupid video: it exposes the obfuscating stupidity of LOLRELEVANCE better than we ever could.

Seriously, if I didn't know better, I would think their video was a parody. It's certainly the mold I'd follow if I wanted to parody LOLRELEVANCE, just with it taken a step further..."Captain Falcon? I -love- Captain Falcon, but he's old news. Let's replace him with a different Captain...Captain Rainbow!!"

Whenever I hear someone wants Goku or Naruto in the game I suddenly want to go over to their house, cut off their head, and express deliver it to Sakurai. Telling him never to add in that abomination of a character.

I'm literally glad you've said this, because any time I bring up that I'd rather there be cuts in favour of new characters than no cuts at all, people jump down my throat and start quoting Sakurai and how he said that he didn't want to disappoint fans of certain characters. Brawl modding is coming along very nicely for people who want everything from Brawl with bells and whistles on top - I'm buying Smash 4 because I want a new Smash game, and if the amount of Veterans ends up negatively influencing the amount of Newcomers we get, I won't be too pleased.

Consider me cynical I guess - I'm almost certain the roster won't exceed 45 (excluding transformations) but I'd like a couple more than 10 Newcomers. I suppose my tolerance for cut characters is due to a conflict of my pessimism in the roster size and my greed when it comes to Newcomers. xD

I feel like this is going nowhere, just all of us complaining about morons. And since I usually do that every single day, I'm going to bring up something we haven't talked about in a while:

I agree. While I don't want cuts, I know they're gonna happen. And honestly, I'd rather have the likes of Palutena and King K. Rool more than Ike and Lucario. As long as we have good newcomers, we'll all be fine.

Honestly, how about that for a topic? Designs of characters? Which character design do you all like most? Which character designs are you most excited for?

It's better than alot of topics that could be brought up, that's for sure. As for designs, in contrast to what many people say...I'm actually looking forward to seeing Ridley's Other M design.


While some will call it ugly, it doesn't look that bad to me. It's far from the worst design of Ridley there's been, and the new body style would make for a much more fair fighter, especially since Other M Ridley is the most battle-worthy Ridley to date, showing the most difference in fighting style, having a fair mixture of fighting in the air and on the ground. Not to mention his tail is shorter, which cuts down the whiners saying it gives him too much range in his attacks. I imagine his fighter stance to be basically as it is in the picture shown above.
