No, Noah is just wrong. I think either she or it can apply.
Well that's what I thought. But I thought maybe he was onto something...
Dark doppelgangers come with gender reassignment. It explains the skirt on Dark Pit. And why Shadow is so moody.

so whats going on something about Dark Samus

from what I hear the Japanese don't like the Prime series and the creator of Metroid even announced they aren't canon anymore (because it wouldn't fit in with Other M)
I doubt we will get Dark Samus because of this
Considering if we got a villain from Metroid, it'd obviously be Ridley, Dark Samus definitely isn't happening anytime soon. Also, why couldn't they have just said Other M wasn't the one that was canon? It'd be so much better...make it a crack fantasy.

The Japanese like the Prime trilogy far more than they did Other M (which they hate just as much as the West does).

Well that sucks...it's kind of ironic that the americans made the better game than the Japanese because when it usually comes to things that are split between Japan and America, Japan's product is usually better in one way or another.

And thanks. They're Din and Jin, the Nymph twins from Chalodillo's online comic "Las Lindas".

Can we please just change the subject? This conversation is stupid and is starting to not have anything to do with Smash Bros.

again, stop trying to twist my words around, you're digging your hole even deeper.
You clearly said the only similarity between Samus & Dark Samus was name. You're the only one digging a hole by trying to deny that when they share looks and abilities. But, I guess Luigi isn't similar to Mario in ANY way because he got that Poltergust.

Still counts now, as again, it's what got in and what didn't/won't
No, it doesn't considering the character you compared it to didn't exist and Pichu was not as relevant as the character I was originally talking about. You pretending to have no idea what I'm talking about, it only wastes my time and serves to annoy me.

So now you're changing what you said.
No, you seem to be doing that for me.

No. They are not "similar" in playstyle.
Since they are similar physically and do share moves they very likely could be semi-clones of each other.

But in game, Zero Suit Samus is the same as Samus, and Zelda is the same as Sheik. It really isn't a difficult concept.
And by that logic a ninja & princess share no difference in any area because they are the same entity.

Characters can share qualities. But that doesn't mean they're the same character.
Who the hell said they were? You guys always just bring these statements up out of nowhere.

That last line makes no sense. You cannot be different from yourself. You can share similarities with a different person. But how cold you possibly be different from yourself?
Will you please specify what area? Appearance, abilities? You act so vague and then complain that I was referring to what you were referring to when you never specified what you are referring to.

I heard they disliked it or maybe it was just the creator of Metroid
It was just Sakamoto being bitter a bunch of gaijin made far superior 3D Metroids than he ever could.

The Prime trilogy is definitely held in higher regard in Japan than Other M is (which is seen as a bad/medicore game).

Noah is still being Noah? Not surprising as I'd rather skip his posts anyway


So what's the topic now? Might as well throw something interesting here: Between Fire Emblem, Earthbound, and the retros (Ice Climber, G&W, ROB) which series do you guys think will get a rep first?

No, I didn't. I just said that Zero Suit Samus and Samus are just Samus in a change of clothes, I never even mentioned Dark Samus and that your comparison of Zero Suit Samus to Samus as well as Dark Samus to Samus in the same vein of discussion of similarities to Samus is blatantly stupid. Maybe if you learned to reply to full comments instead of pick out small parts of the comment to leave snarky comments to, we wouldn't have this problem.


No, it doesn't considering the character you compared it to didn't exist and Pichu was not as relevant as the character I was originally talking about. You pretending to have no idea what I'm talking about, it only wastes my time and serves to annoy me.

This entire ZSS conversation is annoying and a waste of my time, so learn to deal with it since we deal with you.

Would you kindly not use that word around me? :p

I say its most likely that we will get a new retro (lots of good candidates, particularly Takamaru). Fire Emblem also has decent chances for a newcomer. EarthBound most likely will not get a newcomer.

I'm not an english teacher and I know that you can be similar to somebody while still having differences and that you can still be different from somebody while being the same entity.

How can you be different from yourself? If you are the "same entity", then how could you be different from yourself?

You are completely misinterpreting what i'm saying. Yes, Sheik is different in appearance and what she does from Zelda, because that is her role. ZSS is just Samus without her suit, and is more nimble. That is literally it. They are still the same person in both scenarios

I really don't see why we're still talking about it.

Dark Samus isn't even going to get in anyway. So it's all irrelevant. My computer is about to die anyway. Later *******.

Oh, I know. It's just that he wasn't clear on what he was trying to ask me. I was asking him what he meant.

But yes, not only has Ridley never been programmed to be a playable character that had to be balanced and tested, which would be pretty difficult, but Sakurai is hurting. He may not be able to spend that much extra time on one character because of his disability.
But he spend more resources, money and man power in making a third party rep like Mega Man (and I love the inclusion of Mega Man) but he can´t spend the same in Ridley?

Lemme rephrase that: of Veteran fighters between the three series (hence why I said the vet retro fighters).

FE seems like it should go first, considering its likely going to have at least three characters. Although Sakurai could end up being bone-headed enough to throw in just Marth and a Chrom that is basically an Ike-reskin.

Its really odd how Sakurai has confirmed every Mario veteran, yet series like FE have not even had character confirmations yet. And other series like Pokemon, Kirby, Star Fox, and Zelda were all basically stand alone (Zelda would have likely remained stand alone had it not been for Wind Waker HD).

I think it will basically be a free-for-all in terms of veteran confirmations once we get past Q4 2013.

The only remaining software releases left that could be tied into a possible veteran confirmation are Pokemon X/Y, Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Yoshi's Island 3DS, Kirby 3DS, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, and Mario Kart 8.

The overwhelming majority of veterans won't have a new software release that can be tied to their confirmation.

I would say Prime Hunters is worse than Other M. However, both of those games definitely share the bottom tier to the Metroid series by themselves.
Prime Hunters is not as bad, at least they did try to expand more in the universe of Metroid and the design of the Hunters are awesome (well most of them).

The adventure in Prime Hunters was definitely worse than Other M. The single-player was utterly forgettable, and you fought the same two bosses over and over again.

About the only good thing I can say about Hunters is that its among the best looking DS games (definitely the best looking DS game when it came out in 2006), and that its probably the best FPS multiplayer experience on the DS.
