Y-ye-yeah! Him! Heh heh... :lol:
See, I was right for once. lol
Takara-Tomy made the first Pokémon figures, if I remember correctly. Yeah, I agree. Hopefully we get an actual Captain Falcon figure.. made by Tamashii Nations / Bandai. :awesome:
Yes, let's not forget Fox! ....With his Star Fox Command design. Olimar too.
You could probably find other ones, the Rosalina ones just came because her Smash playstyle is almost like the relationships involving the characters and Stands in JJBA (though I have not watched that yet so it's kinda bizarre that I know this).
You know, I sometimes wonder how will Pikachu's matchup be against Rosalina. Since you're maining the latter character, what do you think about this?

I'm going to play Monopoly with the real rules. This should be interesting.

I'm not sure if I can stay up for the Hyrule Warriors Direct at 11 pm. When I take my night medicine, I get sleepy and usually go to bed before the HW Direct would start.

Maybe if I take my meds a little later...

Lol, at last. I got 500 posts. Finally.
What....just what. Tributes are still a thing? I thought this kind of stuff was gone when YouTube changed their layout!

Well, that's vStream or ZippCast. RadiatorRampardos did some kind of tribute to me in comment form, back when I was RainingFlight on YouTube.

Meh, vStream was a boring and pointless idea to begin with. Everyone in there thumbs up the admin's comments if he ever posts something. ZippCast is stable but I see no point in going there.
And lol, RadiatorRampardos. I have heard of that user. He's the one who made those 4 Stock Brawl online matches. He's inactive nowadays.

I haven't given it much thought really.

Pikachu players definitely have some useful tools that will help them separate Rosalina & Luma if they are focusing on sticking together. Neutral B and Down B in particular will likely be a nuisance for Rosalina & Luma (especially Down B, it can basically form a wall between Rosalina & Luma). I also think that due to Rosalina's massive height, it might be possible to connect Pikachu's Down B even if Rosalina is hiding under the platform below, if the strike hits Pikachu. However, that will be easily punishable, as she seems like she can crouch walk, and her Up Smash or Up Tilt could easily hit Pikachu out of it from below.

However, dealing with Rosalina's supreme edge guarding capabilities (thanks to Luma, and her floatiness and excellent recovery) will be hell for Pikachu. While Quick Attack (Up B) might get past Luma if he's sent off stage, Rosalina can easily follow up on that since Pikachu will be helpless, and she can even bolster her strength by calling Luma back. Rosalina can also opt to keep Luma on stage or at the ledge, and then space herself out a bit to cover a lot of ground using the combined range of both Rosalina and Luma's Down Smashes (this technique was demonstrated by Bill Trinen, I believe. I know JC at least talked about it).

Overall, I think Pikachu will need to play defensively and intelligently against Rosalina, and use a lot of mindgames. Pure offense won't cut it, since Pikachu's attacks tend to have weak range, especially his aerials, while Rosalina is the complete opposite, with some very big and disjointed hitboxes, as well as having some multi-hit areials.. Also, don't let Rosalina directly above or below Pikachu, her Down and Up Aerials combined with her high movement speed in the air, means she's set for pretty much anything Pikachu may throw at her to counter her. Pikachu has the speed to run away and try to jump up and approach from the side before Rosalina's Down and Up Aerial animations finish.

Provided the hit stun in this game is good enough, Pikachu should be able to get some good combos in on Rosalina as soon as he gets a hit in, especially at higher percentages, since he has the agility to keep up with her when she is launched.

As far as K.O moves go, Pikachu will rely on Thunder to K.O Rosalina, maybe try to trick her into running into it. And of course, Pikachu should look to punish Rosalina with Smash attacks, but that could be risky, since Rosalina will easily counter-punish if Pikachu is slow on the uptake and tries to punish too late.

And Rosalina won't have much trouble K.O'ing Pikachu, since he's very light. Rosalina is actually pretty heavy, but she is floaty. Normally, I'd advise focusing on vertical K.Os when dealing with heavy-floaties, but Rosalina's Down Aerial is too good for Pikachu to consistently do that. Focus on getting a real solid K.O move on her. Spiking her to the bottom will likely be most reliable, out of an aerial combo, at least.

People on GameFaqs are seriously betting on getting a newcomer during the Hyrule Warriors direct.

That's a straw grasp if I've ever seen one.

It's GameFAQs. What did you expect? Probably the least intelligent game discussion board. No, wait, that's Miiverse. GameFAQs is a terrific second.

Yeah, I agree, no point in YouTube alternatives. YouTube, while having a bad homepage / channel layout, has lots of videos like I said before, and an established install base. RR is pretty much inactive indeed, I played Brawl against him, online, in late 2010.

I'm an insomniac, so I'm trying to get my circadian rhythms back to "College Mode" before it's too late. I'll have to pretend it's Christmas Eve and watch the direct in the morning.

Ouch man, that's awful :(

I myself sometimes wish I could get out of my "Early Bird Mode" No matter what I'm up by 5-6am. Even if I stayed up late the night before. This social topic is making me a zombie.

Acoustic? Eh. I am certainly more of an electric type of person, unless the acoustic guitar sounds like a harp, I am not interested. That remix is sick though.

Welp, just finished finally beating Freedom Planet with Milla.

Good GOD was that a nightmare! I swear, a lot of the later stages just plain weren't made with her in mind, but I made it through. I absolutely adore Milla, but it really feels good to be playing as Lilac and Carol again.

Well I like acoustic instruments in general. I do play Acoustic Guitar, but I am mainly a Cellist and I play in an orchestra. I do love electric music though, like 8-Bit Music, but I have never been a fan of electric guitar. It isn't bad, and I like it as long as it is done right, and that song definitely does that.

Well, that looks interesting. I think Pikachu is now a defensive character since the release of Brawl. Quick Attack Canceling is in Smash 4 (both versions), so I think it will have to use that to do mindgames with Rosalina.
Up Smash is the only move that can be followed up by Thunder, at least, that's what Pikachu has so far. Maybe it will have to use Thunder Jolt to deal with Luma.
Of course, if there's an opportunity, Pikachu might be able to use its Up Smash to K.O Rosalina. I think this will be more noticeable once the competitiveness starts for Smash 3DS.

I agree. You played with him online?
