I've got to say, that was some rather odd things in your Easter Egg area this week, Youko. Always a good listen, I admit, and I can't say I'm sad that your cutting the two segments out, besides letting myself be known to the Smash World in 'Show Yourself', but hey, What are ya gonna do, am I right?

Well looks like Who's In is settled. Next week is the last Episode, and it turns out there won't be another Who's In. So this one goes off in a Fan's Request.

This Week, on Who's In. The Three most requested Characters got in. Who are they? In Third Place we got MegaMan. A Humanoid Robot who is said to have as great chances, or better, as Sonic the Hedgehog. Is this really true, and how will it affect his chances? My turn to tell you guys.

Coming up in Second Place we got Captian Olimar. This little guy has only appeared in Two Games, but they were both big hits! Will that give him enough power to claim his spot as a Playable Character, or will he just turn out to be an Assist Trophey?

Finally, the review EVERYONES been waiting for. It will probably define how well Who's In has left. The most wanted Character, tailying over 30 VOTES, is.... Geno.

*listens to it now* Sounds good to me thus far! :)

Edit: Colbusman, nice entry! :)

Don't even make me do my expressions.

I'm LMFAO at Jigglypuff! :laugh: GOL-EM! :chuckle: But you forgot...BLASTOISE! ;) Nah jk...that one would be hard. I have a neat one, that I luckily have. I'm not gonna say wat it is=it's random, but we all know who it is... <_<

SlackBladder’s in-depth review

Bang! Look who’s early? I told you I would get it in fast this time…
Well, as fast as time zones will allow, that is. Anyways, I’ve been told this would be a good ep., and I couldn’t help but peek at the ending already. But I’ll get to that later!

The Rundown:

Munchlax/Back to back items/Halberd: Well…I guess there really isn’t much to say here, apart from that I’m extraordinarily happy that you told the Lucario fanbois to stop getting so excessively excited over the Munchlax stuff. The item stuff is okay, pretty interesting really, considering you weren’t that happy with it all. I love it whenever you let a little anger and such seep out when you talk about ****ty updates and such. I liked the Halberd stuff, but again, not much to talk about. Good stuff, all up.

Popo and Nana: The detail in the to icey wonders is of course the first thing you mention! But I guess it’s the first thing every one of us Smashers noticed. I enjoyed some of the talk on this, in particular, the WQFT style rant on the darn stage that they have on Melee, and this wonderful short rant:

“I mean, when it gets to a point where people are speculating that there might be multiple taunts because the bottom right screen shot looks like a victory pose from Melee, but the upper left screenshot looks like their taunt from Melee, you know it’s just getting ridiculous” – Youko

I felt so awful, as I had gotten to a point of wondering over that myself. Wow, I MUST have been drunk, stoned, or extraordinarily bored at the time I was doing it. Come on, it was 11 at night people! Gimme a break. Interestingly, I found this talk on the characters to be fun. Not “ZOMG” but fun. Just good, clean fun.

Special Brawl: The term Madness Melee will probably never catch on, but I still enjoy it whenever you decided to name summat just for the sake of making you sound professional, Youko. A recurring theme in this episode seems to be ranting from you. I have no idea why, but a lot of it sounds like something directly from a Pamela-Anderson protest with PETA, without the fake breasts or air headiness. I site yet another rant that I admittedly enjoyed, if only for the cute way you say a certain line:

“Yeah, that event sucks in Melee, by the way, I haate it” – Youko

The way you say “haate” gives you some weird 10-year old lips thing. It’s incredibly charming, I must say. Besides the praising of the gravity option, most of this part, as well as much of the cast, seems a large rant on your behalf.


“Intermission”Huh? What’s all this you say? Oh right…this is all SOOOOOO new news to me! How could any of us see this happening? (Come on Panda, I can tell I knew this was comin’, now right?…right?) And yes, this is all DELIBARTLY OBVIOUSE WINK WINK.

Final Show yourself:
Hey Egruntz. You know, I’ve never really known how to review these sections, other than pointing out things such as voice trips and presentation, but a lot of that comes out as nitpicking, doesn’t it? Some nice stuff, and generally informing. Goodo.
Next, moving on, here we go, into:

…wait, wait, what did you say? Mew? That’s a crazy as Youko wanting Raichu! (I told you I would mention him at some point, and I KNOW that statement isn’t true man)

Colbusman’s BV:
As anyone that bothers to read these may no, I tend to also have trouble reviewing these things. Mainly because…well…it’s YOUR opinion. But I do try a hard to do these ones.
I never thought your voice would sound like this Colbusman, I must admit.

But...really, what’s there to say? This is all good stuff. Interesting enough, though no particularly capturing for me, but I rather enjoy the remixed Zelda tune in the background. Makes me wanna play some Zelfa games again.
Nice stuff:
8/10


END COMMENTS AND SCORE
In the first half of the cast, I must admit, most of it came out as ranting and moaning. While this is hardly a cardinal sin, and I didn’t mind it for the most part (I usually enjoy a little passion put into the cast) sometimes it seemed a little excessive, mainly in the Ice Climber part. Kinda like you had run out of stuff to say, so voicing all displeasure seemed like the way out. I could be wrong, however, and the reason may be that…well, ranting was the only way to do. It’s the Ice Climbers. Most of us hate them!

The latter half was good, it’s always good to here the SWF side of the PODbasy.
Also, I loved the quick mention at the beginning of the Easter Egg. Sariku mentioned you would be doing this based on the vid we whacked together, though I honestly didn’t belive him. But the impressions where amusing, to say the least! Hell, I even peeked ahead to hear them first! I loved the poke’mon ones! But..no one can do Pikachu as well as I. Dammit! XD

Now, I hope you don’t mind me doing so again Youko, but I’ll be off to PM you on a few things now.
Peace out Smashers!

Oh, and 7/10 for that one Youko!


We all love the PODbasy. So does Toad:

To clear this up, it was when you first said you'll do an impression easter egg, not when you showed me who your doing, lulz. Blackadder, you make me sound like a bad guy :urg:

WHY DOES EVERY SHOW YOURSELF CONSIST OF A 14 YEAR OLD WITH A LISP, YOUKO? WHY?

This message exists simply to keep the above statement in all capital letters! Neat, eh?

EDIT: Thank you, Colbusman for having a post-pubescant voice!

It could be because Kids have more freetimes that Teens or people who work. Just a thought, I'm only 14 too >.<

Um... Youko, this may have been said by now but... there is an off option... Which is what would make the gravity normal...

And also, percentage would probably be the off for the top option, with 300% being super sudden death, and Stamina being Stamina.

Well I might as well make my Weeks Predictions.

We already have an Item, so lets make a prediction on the other Four Days.

We will get a Newcomer, wether it be brand new or Snake, but it will be a Newcomer. HOLD ME TO THAT.
We'll get a Stage. Brand New.
We'll get a How to Play.
And we'll get a Game Mode, hopefully a double update of a Movie and a Boss Character.

Youko, I challange you to quote my Predictions on your Cast, and see how much I got right :D

Oh, we plan to. ^^

Actually, Devastlian and I both have our own unique reasons why we're expecting a Newcomer update this morning. I don't even need to take your word for it, you're not the only one who thinks so.

There's power in numbers.

I assume you've already done this, but the official OMG prediction thread may be a good place to pick up on the core and first reaction from many SWF smashers. Admist the "ZOMG AWSUM" posts, I'm sure there are some usefull bits in there...somewhere. :laugh:

Also, I PM'd you on summat. But since you can take your time with PM's sometimes, I'll ask one of the questions here.

How did you do on the tourny you visited?

...I got pretty much owned. :laugh:

There were still a lot of sweet players though, and everything was great. Plus, the meeting with SamuraiPanda couldn't have gone any better, if you ask me! :) I think you guys have a good deal to look forward to in a couple weeks.

HEY HEY HEY! I got a GAME MODE. Wasn't that, but it works, right? I WAS CORRECT.



Told you guys it would support WiFi Play, for the non-believers.

Um...there are still friend codes. See second screenshot.

I did notice that! I'm SO glad I'll be able to be "Youko" and not "YOKO"!


Yeah, so if you guys want to be part of my 64 spaces of friend codes, let me know so I can document it for future reference when we actually share the FCs. I can't guarantee EVERYBODY a spot, but let me know if you're interested.

Rar...must...reserve...spot...early...
Wait, there is very little point, I imagine. I'll be getting Brawl about 2 months after you yanks, so I guess by then all Youko's spaces will be filled. Darn.
Ah well, I'll still try you for a game...somehow!

Also, I'm annoyed at the name limit thingy. I wish I coukd fit "Blackadder" but it seems "Adder" or summat will have to do. :(

Wow, that was really weird.
A mighty powerful post if something online can actually make me blush like a school girl with a crush. :embarrass

And, you know, I really haven't done much, apart from a short BV and reviews..

But thanks for the reserve anyways! :embarrass:)
I'll try and give you good games!

I would def. want to fight Youko in Brawl, but for some reason my Wii doesn't connect to the internet...

Cool update though
Do you have a wireless Access point? If so go to your Wii option and set it up to connect. If not, then you can get one of those USB Wi Fi Connectors that they used to sell for the DS. It will plig into your computer and create a wireless signal that your Wii can be configured to connect to. ^_^

HAHA! I'm just getting my little bros freind to come over and do it for me. He's done it before so it'll be easy. And we have wireless, cool LINK/ACT adapters. You plug em' in whereever and it goes from the output to your comp/Wii and BAM! it's done. Brawl is enough of a reason to get them too.
