I bet Cliff finds turtlenecks extremely racy.

Watch your words young man!

Am I... missing out on porn?

 

[Sehnsucht]

Am I... missing out on porn?

If you have to ask the question, then you clearly are.

 

[Ta1nted_4ngel29]

So, possibly interesting topic, how did you all come up with your usernames?

Being a decent person + self-hatred/body image issues/feeling unloveable + random number/letter swaps = Ta1nted_4ngel29.

Am I... missing out on porn?

No, just a picture of Pit, Zelda and Roi Dadidou in their underwear.

So once the 3DS version comes out in October and the Wii-U version comes out fall 2014, I wonder how much support will Nintendo offer to the game such as DLC, patches etc?

It's not porn if the woman's doing nothing and the guy's playing on his own.

...It was a pretty weird porn.

October is in fall 2014, by the way. Wii U is coming out in the holiday season.

I personally don't mind DLC, so long as it's free. Or if it's paid, it's gotta be a huuuuuuuuuuuge update that's worth it.

 

[Deleted member]

Just don't charge me for characters. I don't want to have to pay just to learn a match-up.

 

[TJ-Works]

I've never bought much DLC besides Call Of Duty (which I regret is wasted money now.)

Not even Borderlands 2. I love that game, but I haven't brought myself to want to play the DLC.

 

[Pyra]

Just don't charge me for characters. I don't want to have to pay just to learn a match-up.

Pretty much. I wouldn't pay for new characters or stages, but I would pay for extra game modes or giant packs of new costumes.
Stuff that doesn't really affect a normal fight, like a new character or stage would. Fair things.

I paid for a costume pack in Phoenix Wright so I wouldn't mind paying a dollar or two for a lot of new costumes in Smash Bros.

 

[RamOne]

I've actually bought all DLC for Fire Emblem: Awakening. I've never played the half of it.
I would only buy Smash DLC if it's either a new character ( don't know if I would buy it if the character is too much of a clone) or a new stage.

 

[mimgrim]

The only DLC I ever bought was DLC for Awakening. That was mainly because I was able to via Nintendo Point cards and I wanted it, I still have DLC left to get but am unable to now because the WiFi in the park has died and our own satellite internet is wired instead of wireless and I still don't have all of it yet (though I want to).

I also want to get Gears of War DLC, but not so bad as to want it right this second.

But I really dislike the idea of paid DLC for characters in fighting games.

That actually reminds me of how much more playtesting would have to go into the game with a new character on the way.

Has there been any fighting game that featured DLC characters that had them carry over into the next game? I know there's BlazBlue Continuum Shift II & II Extend, but that's like an expansion pack, so I won't count it.

 

[Deleted member]

I've bought DLC for Awakening, Skullgirls because I bought the game after Squigly was free, and Injustice. Why was Zod not on the disc? Why

 

[Pyra]

That actually reminds me of how much more playtesting would have to go into the game with a new character on the way. .

I would accept DLC characters being clones of existing characters to lessen the development time.
Can't really complain about that. With the occasional unique DLC sprinkled in somewhere.

All the Street Fighter 4 versions?

 

[Substitution]

The only DLC I've ever downloaded were patches.

 

[Superyoshiom]

I'd rather not have DLC characters unless it's for characters that have no excuse not to be in or characters that got cut like Mewtwo. It would take the point out of having new characters in future smash games in a way.

 

[Deleted member]

I just love how when they released a new character for Injustice, they gave everyone a new, free skin.

You know, somehow even with how little I'm aware Fire Emblem, even I know who Robin is.

 

[DraginHikari]

I saw that reaction quite a bit through the multiple ones I watched. Fire Emblem seems to be one of those series you either like, hate... or just don't know it exists.

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

All the Street Fighter 4 versions?

Expansion pack-esque. Won't count it.

Was I not the only one who thought Robin was Masked Man for a second before releasing who it really was?

 

[TheGoldMan]

Robin?! Who the hell is this guy?!

Whats funny is that he had a "oh my god" face when his face showed then the screen said Robin and his faced totally changed LOL

Haha, "Who the hell is this guy?!" xD

I wanna what's going on with his hair. It looks like a table.

Expansion pack-esque. Won't count it.

Was I not the only one who thought Robin was Masked Man for a second before releasing who it really was?

Slightly, but then I thought that didn't make sense and just held my breath til I saw who it was.

 

[Knight Dude]

I don't think so. I saw some other post about it looking similar to the Masked Man. But I thought it was Shulk using the Manado Purge.

 

[Deleted member]

As soon as I saw the green projectile thing I was like "Shulk? No wait, that makes no sense." As soon as Robin was visible, I was like, "No, they didn't, there's no way Robin is actually playable." Yup. That's exactly what they did.

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

I think I outta splice together a trimmed support sig. Dunno if there'll be any new editions because I'm fencey about most other characters at this point.

BluePsychic, your sig makes me suddenly want to make a moveset for Homura.

I found this essay someone wrote on GameFaqs about Captain Falcon. I don't agree with all the points but I find it to be an interesting read nonetheless, and thought I'd share it with you guys.

Spoiler: Captain Falcon is a lazy self-insert character

Like Kirito from SAO, but even worse.

Like all of us, Captain Falcon spends the majority of his time sitting down in a chair, using quick reflexes to complete his goals.

Unlike all of us, Captain Falcon is in impossibly-good physical condition. I'm not calling you all fat or anything (I most certainly am) but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that anybody who spends so much time sitting down, be it on Gamefaqs, or for WoW, or for racing, could never be that impossibly toned and handsome.

How handsome is he? We don't know, because like most good Marty Stu self-inserts, Falcon wears a mask over his face that allows us some leeway to envision ourselves in his suit. Hell, his body was never even seen in a game before Smash Bros.

But it goes beyond that. Captain Falcon takes the inner Social Justice Warrior in all of us, and actually fulfills it in his part-time Bounty-Hunting job - all while sitting down in his comfy little car, because somehow all of his missions can be accomplished by racing.

Isn't that what all of you want? For your skills at video games, or posting on GameFaqs, to be translated into something meaningful? Don't you want to be cool, like Captain Falcon?

But we're not cool, and we hate ourselves for it. F-Zero's got this covered, too. F-zero has a diverse cast of alien racers, and out of all of those, who is Captain Falcon's rival, the one loser he constantly beats and leaves in the dust?

http://cdn.staticneo.com/w/fzero/1/1e/Samurai_GorohSNES.PNG

This fat sad sack. Clearly, he's well past his prime in terms of age and fitness - in contrast to Falcon's muscular body, this guy is fat and ugly. Look at those wimpy shades - they look like something your dad would wear to look 'cool' and 'hip'. But even worse - he's obsessed with Japan, even going so far as to call himself a Samurai, even though he obviously has no experience with his plastic sword.

Also, those yellow pants! Who the heck?

But I digress. An out-of-shape Otaku who sits around all day, losing at everything? That's us! Or rather, the us we're all afraid we'll become. Captain Falcon is the perfect, god-like figure that we all want to pretend we are. His games encourage us to constantly outwit and outrace Goroh, so we can tell ourselves 'we're better than that guy. He's not me! CAPTAIN FARUKON IS MY HUSBANDO!'

This even extends to his recent reveal trailer, where we can see him single-handedly destroying a group of three stereotypically-japanese protagonists. Why? It's not a race thing, or anything to do with some sort of vague patriotism. It's because we see Lucina, Chrom, and Robin as 'anime characters' and we like to stereotype people who watch anime as fat lazy shut-ins, even as we binge-watch Death Note or Kill La Kill.

Captain Falcon, though? He's a man's man. He's like us, always ready to punch those lazy nerds into the ground, always able to succeed at everything without ever getting even needing to stand up.

Don't you want to be cool like Captain Falcon?

Again, not my opinion, but I thought it was interesting to read.

I saw "inner social justice warrior" and stopped reading because I refuse to associate Captain Falcon with those... people.

 

[DraginHikari]

I find it kind of funny how Captain Falcon has been defined more about the way he is in the Smash Brothers games then he was in his games prior to that point.

I actually have . I dunno why, I just enjoy making movesets for characters even if they will never be playable.
