I think the sole reason why the ICs got into Smash in the first place was because of their gimmick. A fighter that has two characters on the field at the same time is unique and brought something new to the (battle)field. Removing that gimmick by making it Sopo would make them... not boring, just eh.

Im pretty sure there was a looney tunes character named Slowpoke Rodriguez. You know, the slow counterpart to Speedy Gonzalez.

They should have just made Ice Climbers into a single Ice Climber. Like I said once, the gimmic didnt impress me, and possibly even took away from what could have been a much better character. And then there's chain grabbing.
I'll be honest, even as a person that dislikes playing as the ICs, I'd rather that they either be brought back as two, like they were, or not come back at all.

That's just me though.

The thing is, they don't HAVE to have a huge gimmick. Not to mention a Solo Popo would actually be much closer to the Ice Climbers' origins anyway.

I'm wondering if they could have modified Nana's AI to make her more like Luma, in a way.

Tell that to Sakurai. lol :p

Sakurai has a well defined foundation for each character's basic moveset premise and prefers to keep them over the series, even if some moves may change. This is why we still have Ganondorf as a Captain Falcon derivative, for example.

Luma doesn't have much of an AI. He's directly controlled for the most part, except for him returning to Rosalina after a while.

Nana could simply stay in the background all the time while guarding your back. That's how some people theorized the Chorus Kids would work anyways

I don't think Nana appreciates Popo chucking her at the opponent and potentially falling off the stage. Couples just don't do that.

Honestly, if the Climbers were chosen to represent the NES era, and were chosen over more recognizable characters simply because of their gimmick, I'd rather that gimmick stay intact. Just make Nana unable to grab or something.

But then again, I've never enjoyed playing as the Ice Climbers, and I have an immense negative bias toward them because of Crusade:


The Ice Climbers were when I started to become THE BluePsychic, and they look awful too.

Well, that is mostly what I meant. Maybe I shouldn't have said AI.

But basically still have Nana there, but you can separate her for certain attacks and control her the same way you'd control Luma.

Maybe that's why I'm single.

The whiners just seem like some kind of entitlement issue to me

and I really do feel like the 3DS version hurt the wii u version

After all, I only had the 3DS version, feeling like I didn't need to get the wii u version since I already HAD smash

But now I got it, for free

I don't think the Ice Climbers have a chance to come back in Smash 4.

Why? Well, there's the whole 3DS situation, of course, but even if they figure out a way to bring them back with the two-in-one gimmick, what about 8-Player Smash, which essentially doubles the issue?

Well, as far as I can tell, everything in the universe plays out in a way that, in theory, can be predicted, since everything is caused by something else. It's just that the universe is so complex we aren't capable of this yet.

Radioactive decay is considered to be random, but there may be some factor controlling it we are as yet unaware of.

Or radioactive decay is the sole random factor that caused you to choose Coke over Pepsi.
I believe this is the physics mechanism you're talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_symmetry_breaking

You say yet, but you say in theory. Doesn't this seem contradictory to you?
Coincidences are absolutely real.
I guess we should define coincidence. I mean dramatic coincidence, that is, separate instances in which an overarching theme can be observed.

Less poetically, more accurately, my question is then 'is there a causal link between events, however distal (removed, as opposed to proximal, in the near vicinity), that is found within the objects themselves (thus objective), or is there no causation or relation between them at all other than what we observe in us, the subjects (thus subjective), when we observe the events?'

More poetically, but more accurately relative to my initial question: 'is there a binding theme or purpose which causally links all events?'

Succinctly: 'Is the universe intrinsically teleological?'
I mostly don't believe in coincidences, so I tend to believe everything has a reason to happen. Everything is justified somehow, even though we may not know the answer.
And I see that @ FalKoopa FalKoopa became a communist dictator once more. The Яed Army grows stronger. ☭
Huh. I expected you, as an atheist, to deny teleology and adhere to a strict philosophical skepticism or determinism.
Neat.
It's a PAЯTY, comrade!




It's instinct... If something is fed, it grows. Somehow that's true for both living and non-living things.
Instinct is the purpose, then, intrinsic to everything?
Hmm. I might agree.

BUT I WOULD REMIND MY DEAR MODERATORS THAT THE COMRADES HAVE YET TO OVERCOME THE PROBLEM OF ECONOMIC CALCULATION IN A SOCIALIST COMMONWEALTH, AND I WOULD DARE SAY IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SURMOUNT.

I guess there is also 8-Player Smash too... Since it can only hold up to 8 players... It could be impossible since nana is an AI.

Plus, 8-player matches already brings the Wii U to its limits, so having 8 Popos and 8 Nanas would probably be overkill for the hardware.

Eh, probably not, if that would be a technical issue.

Basically just imagine Nana being "reduced" to the level Luma is.

That way she would work fine in both the 3DS version and 8-player Smash, while still keeping somewhat of a 2-in-1 couples character, of course not to the same extent as in Brawl or Melee, but still

I'd honestly rather the Ice Climbers not return at all if only one of them could come back. Being a "double-character" is what made them so unique in the first place.

Slowpoke Rodriguez? His name sounds just barely familiar.....

Trying to decide if I should eat both hemp and flax seeds together

and where the heck I'm supposed to get chia seeds and if I should eat those too

Flax has more Omega 3's and fiber, but hemp has tons of protein

It always seems like 1 vs the other on sites. Like, you can't eat both...?

Hemp seeds have 11g of protein per tablespoon

That is a lot of protein

You could just give up meat at that point

I'm not going to though

Neat.
I wouldn't call myself adhering to any ideology, but I'm more of an agnostic-atheist rather than an outright atheist.

My belief is that there's no way to tell if God exists or not as we lack any kind of irrefutable evidence to back up any claim. We can't tell that God exists, but we can't tell that God doesn't exist either nor do we know if there's one god or multiple gods.

There's no evidence. There are no indicators that help any side of the question. Without evidence, there's no way to back up a premise.

However, I do defend that God, as described in Abrahamic religions (such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam), doesn't exist. Those religions describe God as omnipotent, omniscient, merciful and good. If God is exactly as described, wouldn't he have the power to make this world better? Wouldn't he be benevolent and good-nature to rid the world of its evils? Wouldn't he know the solution to all of this world's problems?

I fail to see why such an all-powerful, benevolent entity would ignore the problems of this world and wouldn't use his might to turn it into something good. Therefore, it stands to reason that God, as an omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent being is something that doesn't make sense from a purely logical point of view.

Therefore, I live my life and form my own opinions with atheism in mind. The God described in those religions doesn't and cannot exist in my own point of view.

Also, I don't intend to debate. You're free to believe in what you think is right. So, whether you agree or disagree with me, let's just leave it at that and respect each other.

It sounds like you are planing a meal of some sorts

Speaking of Protein, I just got told there is a pecan tree on our street.

Why did no one tell me this before
