If I murder your family, and you murder mine in retaliation, was justice done?

Jesus taught against the "eye for an eye" mentality. You're Christian. You should know that.
I'm more of a Winston Churchill than a Ghandi type of guy. I'm not going to stand around and take it up the ass like a *****, like I'm going to let people walk over me like dirt. I'm going to fight for what I believe is right, I mean NOBODY walks over ME - NOBODY. I walk over them if they think they're going to walk over me. I stand up for myself.

And let's not bring Jesus into this. Seriously. We're talking about video games, not religion. :urg:

*****TIME TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT*****

Do you guys think Mewtwo AND Lucario will be announced side by side, like in a Nintendo Direct? Now that we're getting multiple characters announced per month, I can totally see it happening. Awesome. :)
No. That wouldn't make sense in the slightest for more than one reason. Lucario is a vet while Mewtwo is a newcomer, and Pokemon is only getting the one big release.

It's off-topic, but I agree.
Tolerance, passiveness, and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society.

It's a hard choice, but maybe Mewtwo, since we haven't seen him since Melee.

I want to do justice to this ironic accusation, but I feel it wouldn't be worth it.
That's okay, nobody would be interested anyways.

Seconded. It's possible that he could dupe us and throw in two Pokemon characters, but I doubt it. The one time we would get characters together is a trailer for the game or a direct, IMO. But it will probably be Pokemon Trainer in early October and Sonic near the end. What I would want: Mewtwo and R.O.B.
If not at the end of the Month, I can see Sonic being held off until the release of Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games, since you know, people love to see Sonic vs. Mario.

I'm not really a Ghandi type guy either. I'm just saying what works in society and what Jesus himself said. Besides, walking over someone hurts people. And when that's not necessary for survival, I'm against it.

Why not? Jesus can be in any part of our life.

  • Again, KingMario92 & Louie G agreed with me as will the Sheriff support thread
  • You're not a troll for having different beliefs. You are a troll for *****ing about my opinions on Sheriff and making fun of me for my opinions on Semi-Clones
  • "A Child throwing a tantrum" is an insult and a hypocritical one at that considering the tantrum you threw about Skyward Sword designs and me continuing to defend Sheriff.
Two people compared to the 20 that were against you is hardly support when the overwhelming majority still disagree with you despite the points you made.

I haven't said anything about Semi-Clones in forever, and I wouldn't be a troll to still poke at that. I prefer original movesets over clones. Let's not get into that, though. The main reason I went at you with Sheriff is that a lot of your points were subjective and you dismissed others' more objective points. No, we aren't getting Popeye, but the fact is that he was the cause-and-effect for Mario even existing in the first place. Sheriff was simply the first Nintendo character. Facts, not opinions, yet the former fact came off as being delusional rather than a valid point. Laughing at facts is part of what makes me tick, Noah, not simply supporting Sheriff. I'm sure folks at his support thread would do a fine job being objective in their reasoning if I went there.

And I said in my previous post, not before that post. I'm not denying that I've insulted you before.

Now hush, budd. We gotta tune into this exciting... Mewtwo conversation! Whatever works!

First Nintendo Character, First Miyamoto Character.
Okay I can't tell if you seriously pay attention to what people have said in this topic or you just don't do the research. Sheriff is NOT the first Nintendo character.
The first Nintendo game is a horseback arcade cabinet game called EVR Race, making the cast of horseback riders the first actual Nintendo characters.
So no, he is not the first Nintendo character.
Incredibly insignificant?
Yes, you read that correctly. Please tell me what makes him significant enough to be compared to Nintendo All-Stars?
Did I say they were? No, I said he'd be a good surprise retro character that wasn't NES.
No you didn't, but you're suggesting that Sheriff would be the character that did the same thing Mr. Game & Watch and R.O.B. has done. Being a completely unexpected character. But that wouldn't be happening, as Wii Fit Trainer is already the character that does that.
Why? Then who is the first Nintendo character? Please stop saying he isn't.
I also never mentioned who the first character was because I assumed you were actually reading the topic. This comment proves otherwise.
Because we yet to have a character that solely represents the arcade. The other ones you keep mentioning simply had a few arcade games, but represent other parts of history such as the DK Country series or Super Mario series. I guess we didn't need an NES retro like Sakurai wanted because Mario is an NES retro.
You completely ignored what I asked there.
Why would the Arcade get a representative over actual Nintendo consoles like the SNES, GB, and VB?
Yes, I'm the only one who does that. I should be the only one criticized for it regardless of not intending it. You're all perfect and never do this. Here is how it works: When one person shoves his opinion into you're face, it's okay as long as people agree with the opinion. But, if people defend their opinion and don't give into yours it's considered being the bad guy.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Like DK being an ape and being called Donkey Kong.
Donkey Kong's name comes from Miyamoto believing "donkey" meant "stupid". Sure there was inspiration, but it's not like King Kong's existence led to the creation of DK. Popeye actually DID lead to the creation of Mario, Pauline, and Donkey Kong.
But why you feel like you should continue this cartoon character debate I don't know. Nobody is supporting Popeye (at least seriously).
Debunked? Because Nintendo and Sakurai came out and issued a statement about how they don't give a **** about Sheriff and Sakurai never had any interest in this part of Nintendo history and doesn't want to revive him like he does with Smash Characters.
Debunked as in "He's not the first Nintendo character". I don't know if Sakurai cares about Arcade characters or not, all I know is that you keep supporting the Sheriff like he's this unsung hero and overly important video game character when he has nothing special at all other than being an arcade character, which would feel forced to me.
Not Obscure =/= Not as obscure as you described
Then instead of leaving me in the dark and making me guess what you mean, how about you try to enlighten me about how "not obscure" this arcade character is then.
Yes, Ariand! A Cartoon Character and a peice of paper make more sense to be in Smash than the first Nintendo Character. Even if Sheriff was the most worthless Nintendo Character ever on Virtual Boy it would make more sense than a cartoon character and a card game.
I think a cartoon character that lead to the creation of the biggest video gaming icon and a product that led to the creation of said company that creates the games we hold so dearly to ourselves is more important to said company then some arcade character that has been falsely given the title as "The First Nintendo Character".
Did I say it made him important today? No, stop assuming. I posted this because it proves he's not incredibly unimportant overall as you keep claiming.
No you didn't say that, but a line of text written in 2001 by a translator doesn't mean anything. Especially considering that none of the trophies were written by Sakurai himself, as there are many flaws found with their descriptions (Several Kirby ones can be found in Brawl's trophies as Melee's Mario trophies have incorrect information on them as well).
So using that to support the Sheriff wouldn't help you at all, because we don't know if Sakurai legitimately thinks that about the Sheriff and if he'd even still think of the character like that today.

All you've given me were mostly questions to my questions and incredibly vague answers (Oh, and you can't forget the sarcastic remarks too). So please try to answer my responses and give a direct counter argument instead of just saying: "I didn't mean it like that!" or "Your explanation is wrong!".

Oh, and Ariand/AEM....I told you so. :p
A shame too. I was hoping to be done with this topic because everybody doesn't want to talk about this.

I don't know guys, I think Noah's on to something.
Sheriff is a big part of Nintendo history, and is quite iconic in the sense.
If you don't want a generic sheriff, make him a sprite instead. Boom, he's unique.
Plus, if you want to bring up generic names, ROB was named Robot in Japan.
Define big.
Because it's nowhere near Ridley big.

Really? More Fire Emblem talk? :facepalm:

Here's a new subject not touched on often. What about Wonder Red? I know a lot of people dismiss him because Wonderful 101 is "too new", but I think there may be a chance that Sakurai was given a look at him. I mean look at how much Nintendo pushed that game. Even if it didn't do too well, or at least as well as they had liked, it's a great unique game that could produce a very fun character to Smash.

What do you guys think?


ALSO, ON A COMPLETELY UNRELATED SUBJECT, IF WE GET A NEW CHARACTER TOMORROW, I WILL BE SO PISSED BECAUSE I WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE IT. I WILL BE DOING CLASSROOM OBSERVATIONS. GIUGHFKJNDFOUHNFJ

You guys can learn from this actually. Since you think it's okay to treat people like **** for defending either themselves or an opinion. You don't even bother to find out if they are intending to be rude or impulsive. Shoot first ask questions later.

Can I just say something, and then I'll end the conversation: Let's take the hypothetical Swamp question, about if the family was murdered. Sure, you can kill them, or worse their family in return, but that doesn't do anything. It just fills the hole left in your heart for a short while, until you realize the guilt you have to bear.

Standing up, finding justice isn't making the person feel the same way that they made you feel, it's about forgiveness. That's really the biggest blindside in history, forgiving someone, or in a more extreme matter, tracking down the killer and incarcerating him/her is pure justice.

Sorry, I just had to bring up my belief. Then again, no one gives two ****s about anyone's opinions, so I'll leave it at that.

Anyways, I'd prefer Mewtwo. He needs to be in this next game, more than any other Pokemon character (other than Pikachu, of course)

This thread has the worst case of ADD ever.
It also has the worst cause: People afraid or unwilling to talk about the current topic.
This thread should be flowing, not put to an abrupt halt at every poster and set on a new track.
It's like bickering adults who are politically correct minded.

...but I wasn't being mean to you for supporting Roy or Sheriff.

Also, Richard Nixon is viewing this thread...and he's a girl.

No, I mean to say that anytime somebody brings up Christianity on an Internet forum, it's going to be made fun of. It's like the rule of the Internet, huh? I should know, it happened to me way too many times on other threads. There's a double standard towards religious tolerance here - it's like anybody can make fun of Jesus, The Lord, and Christianity, but not atheism, spiritualism, or anything anti-religion (I'm looking at you JohnKnight...). Double standard. :glare: That's why I avoid talking about it. It's never going to end well.

I really doubt Wonder Red. More than just the "too new" case.

But because the whole gimmick of Wonderful 101 is uniting hundreds of people up to perform actions and skills on a grand scale. Really hard to feasibly implement this, since it's overall a more complicated version of Pikmin.

Who sees Mewtwo being revealed in tomorrow's Nintendo Direct?
I have to say that although it's DEFINITELY a possibility, it's not a HIGH possibility. Mainly because it's not only too soon after the reveal of Toon Link, but it'd make sense more for it to be Pokemon Trainer if anything tomorrow, especially considering as of Tomorrow, the new "Pokemon Origins" premiers the day after the Direct, so if any character is actually getting his time to shine, it's Pokemon Trainer.

Well, the two social taboos are religion and politics, so there is no point in discussing it.

But that's a generalization. I know Atheists at my school (Catholic-private to be exact) who are chastised and looked down upon by students and even teachers when, for example, they don't say the Lord's Prayer.

I'm reserved when it comes to my spirituality, but you can say that about any group.

Actually, I can't recall any time when people have outright insulted a religion. This place is cool that way. And if they do, well then they're just jerks.

We may have called you hypocritical but that was due to mistakes you made in the past, not because of your religion.

(Johnknight1 isn't anti religion by the way. I'm friends with him.)

Guys, please don't bring in religion or politics into the discussion. Take it to PM's please.

As well, avoid pointing fingers and questioning ones religious and/or political beliefs. We have the Debate Forum for that.

I make fun of everything, including Jews and Muslims (who apparently can't be criticised) , so don't worry about me, mate.

I'd say there's a 50% chance of a surprise Smash Bros. announcement tomorrow. There was the surprise Luigi reveal in August, so I think it's possible.

Must be, since the last Nintendo Direct was about titles released later in the year and we got Luigi's reveal then....:rolleyes:

(It's obviously a 2014 release. However, that didn't stop Luigi's reveal despite the Direct being, just like this one, for "titles released later in the year".)
