Smash 4 Social Thread 3.0

[Nitric Acid]

I think it's more that Sonic is somehow popular enough on his own that they don't even need to try in order to sell to some of their customer so they simply aren't trying.

Why this is, I will never get.

As Pac-Man World 2 on the Gamecube was the second game I ever played in my life, you can imagine my nostalgic overload when they decided to use that Pac-Man instead of the Ghostly Adventures eyesore (Pac-Man should NEVER have teeth. EVEEEEER.).

***Me watching livechat during Smash Bros press conference:

"They announced Pac-Man".

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

"He is his Pac-Man World design and turns into a pie shape during certain attacks"

"YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH".

Phew, that must have been a long day then! How was it?
And I'm doing fine. Half counting the days, half doing homework.

It was actually a couple hours, from 4-6pm. Half the day was just prepping myself, then to Uni, then I hung around with some guys for a while in my practical group. I just got back. Tomorrow's gonna be a knaff day, though. :T

We got some new Sanic Boom graphics.

Please redirect me to the Sanic Boom graphics.

Having a job at McDonalds SUCKS. ¦D

It's just as the stone tablets predicted! ¦(

Don't worry, I'm sure you have other co-workers to share the suckage between yas.

Just walked outside the damn house with a hornet on my neck, hoping for it to fly away and get out of the house. And THIS is why I always tell my mom to never leave windows open during pollinating season.

How did you manage to ignore a buzzing, prickly predator sitting on your own skin?

People seem to be discussing the Sonic Cycle and hating on Boom because graphics and Shadow.

Need to see what this fuss is about.

...I'm going to kill you one day.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I love me some Sonic, and him making it into Smash was amazing.
I do like Sonic's games more, but I just prefer Pac-Man as a character. Compared to what Sonic has turned into, anyway.

I lied.
I'm bluer now.
Now it's the last change.

For the time being.

Between the avi and the signature...

Midna is too good. We need more Midna. All of the Midna. Midna.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH".

Pretty much.

I think the only reason I used to be against Pac-Man was because I hated his Ghostly Adventures design so much, even compared to his Pac Party design, which I thought was worse than World's design, but I could at least tolerate it.

Shadow's game, 06 and Secret Rings were the only real offenders with 06 being the main one. Unleashed, despite what critics want you to believe, was actually very well received, liked and sold despite it's few yet shortcomings. Some will argue that the Werehog held it back, but that's just what the older fans thought. The younger fans? They adored the Werehog, apparently. Unleashed was simply a step in the right direction.

I find this rather ironic. Of all the Sonic games I've played, which admittedly isn't a lot, I have only kept Shadow the Hedgehog. It is the only one to have kept my attention even after beating it, every other Sonic game I've played I either never got a chance to finish, got bored before finishing it, or finished but didn't see myself going back to ever play the game again. Just from a pure gameplay perspective. Not going to get into the whole voice acting and "edgy" things the game gets ridiculed the most for, because I can ignore that kind of stuff for good gameplay.

Damn, the Mega Man X Collection on Gamecube is expensive. Yet the PS2 version is cheap. The cheapest I can find is an pretty much 60 bucks. There's some people who want it for 100 dollars or more. Not exactly reasonable for me.

60 bucks is pretty much buying a new game that just hit the shelves, so it could be worse. And it is 7 games in one disc, might go with that one. Gotta look around a bit more. Maybe look for Metroid Prime 2 as well.

I was joking, hence the "In Smash. ¦D" part. XD

However, I strongly disagree with you since I've never, and still don't, see or consider Pac-Man as an actual character like Sonic and Mega Man are. I often feel the same about Mario, but he just barely manages to sty in the range and above Pac-Man, who I only ever see as a "that thing" rather than "that guy/character". That, and I like what Sonic has turned into since I prefer Modern Sonic to Classic Sonic. Classic Sonic is boring.

But that's my viewpoint. Yours is different and that's okay. :3

Pretty much this for me, except rather than "haven't played", it's more like "haven't heard of". Seriously, I never even knew Pac-Man has games OTHER than the standard arcade ones.

And the other ones don't look very appealing to me at all, so I'll be avoiding them like the plague.

Ehhhhhh, it's alright. Bit fuzzy.

And Shadow looks exactly the same as he did before. Without the bandages. Was he not allowed in the Bandage Brigade club and that's why he looks evil?

I believe they're main advertising focus is nostalgia this time around.

 

[Digital Hazard]

Just check those beautiful PS2 graphics, it's very noticeable they put too much effort into them.

Those are indeed official screens of the game you can find here.

No seriously, look at this.

Look at this!

Honestly the fact that Shadow is mostly unchanged and has no bandages means he doesn't look horrible.

You just wanna keep this all for yourself, don't you? You little hypocrite. ¦3

Ow the Edge 2: Edge Harder


Black Knight is a lot more loved than you realize, but it's not really high up there either. It's still better than Secert Rings, though, whose only problem yet biggest problem was the gameplay and controls.

And I started my gaming career as a kid with Mario, Sonic AND Mega Man and had never heard of the phrase "Console War" or of Sonic and Mario's supposed rivalry until Brawl because I always played all of their games and for console, I've always had every single one of every single Generation save for the current one going on right now.

I was born into a family of gamers and computer people who all got into anime before America even knew anime was a thing. XD

Like I said, I used to like Sonic. I just got uninterested. Where I still have Mario and Mega Man games I want to play. I wanted to get into Battle Network and Paper Mario soon. But that MMX Collection is my main game priority. After Smash 4 of course.

Though the first game I ever played was Tekken 3. And it's still one of my favorite series.

As Pac-Man World 2 on the Gamecube was the second game I ever played in my life, you can imagine my nostalgic overload when they decided to use that Pac-Man instead of the Ghostly Adventures eyesore (Pac-Man should NEVER have teeth. EVEEEEER.).

For me, it's the damn eyes. They really bother me. I don't get it either. Mario, Sonic, Mega Man and others get more detailed eyes at some point and it's fine for them. But with Pac-Man it just doesn't work.

You go up to a toilet, open the lid, hold the 3DS over the bowl, let go of the 3DS, and finally stare at the water for a good minute.

Well, Pac-Man has been shown to be a family man most of the time, which is why I like him over other characters. Kind of like Olimar, he's got a wife and kids, he's just an average guy (well, as average as a tiny space man and a cheese wedge can get) that does not so average things. Rather than say, Mario, who can't even get any from the princess he keeps saving.

Though for Sonic, I generally like his newer and classic form equally... Until new Sonic opens his mouth.

But I blame Sega for being terrible at writing dialogue.

Here's a good rule to stick to in life. NEVER BRING OR PLAY YOUR CONSOLES ON THE TOILET.

I've never dropped mine in a toilet, but it means I don't feel like a fool for doing so.

 

[TheFirstPoppyBro]

For me, it's the damn eyes. They really bother me. I don't get it either. Mario, Sonic, Mega Man and others get more detailed eyes at some point and it's fine for them. But with Pac-Man it just doesn't work.

Eyes I can understand, but I can at least tolerate Pac-Man Party's design because he still looks relatively like the Pac-Man I knew, just with slightly different shoes and eyes.

Then Ghostly Adventures came along and gave him teeth and fingers.

Pac-Man should never have teeth and fingers.

I take my (3)DS to the toilet all the time and I've never dropped it. *knocks wood*
The only thing I've ever done was throwing my underpants into the toilet, but that's a story for another time.
Nothing creepy or awkward.

Guess we'll have to disagree there, too, as I love Sonic's dialogue most of the time outside of most of Lost World save for maybe a couple of lines. Then again, I think the two Adventures, Heroes, Battle, Secret Rings and Black Knight all have my top favorite lines for Sonic.

Also, I love Sonic's free lifestyle and him being larger than life on his own. I'd SO live like that if I had the power to. XD

I dunno. This is the next generation of Sonic we're talking about, so I don't see any reason to just say that all so randomly, especially since it's Nintendo Exclusive. Sure it may not be as good as Sonic Adventure 2, but I ain't holding back on it.

 

[Knight Dude]

Pac-Man should never have teeth and fingers.

Next time, they'll give him ears and a defined butt. It'll be terrifying. Though would anyone mind if he wore pants?

But is it me, or are his legs taller?

They are likely taller. You know, so that he's kept around the same size as Sawnick.

I have autism so the uncanny valley thing does not ever effect me, but god damn is that Ghostly Adventures design unsettling.

I actually tolerate the fingers too, but as everyone else, the problem is the teeth. Those teeth... where they trying to give people nightmares?

The only thing I bring to the bathroom is my attitude.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Sorry for the tone, but how the **** do you drop a 3DS into a toilet?

Alright, hear me out on this.

On your body is a limb called the arm, at the end of the limb is the hand. Using the hand, firmly grab the 3DS between the five appendages called fingers and the base of your hand called the palm. If done correctly, you'll be able to hold onto the console. Then proceed to find the closest bathroom near you. Walk over to the toilet, and move your arm to where the estimated position of your hand is. Retract the finger so you no longer can grip the system. Gravity should cause the system to drop inside the toilet, causing you to reget spending 199 US dollars and 50 dollars (or equivelent) per game due to the handheld console not functioning.

Knowing is half the battle!
