I honestly have to disagree with Nate on that one. Yes, there can't be courage without fear, the problem is the fear that she feels is not established well in the game, nor the series itself. Tell me, if no one here read the manga (that was never officially translated, mind you), would we have known about their past? The games don't delve into it, and most of them just jump into the battle without any context, even in the games that had cutscenes (Prime, Prime 3, ZM and to a lesser extent, Fusion) none of them touched on the subject. So none of us would've known if it really affected her without the manga, even with the manga in mind, that still leaves a hole as that's four games she's challenged him without incident before Other M. No fear was shown, nothing was established beforehand to show that she had it and was fighting it. This becomes a major problem because Other M tries to show us that she fears him, but can still challenge him, but the scene doesn't set it up at all. We don't get a flashback (of all the places they choose not to do it, here's where they did it) and we barely get context, so most are just left scratching their head, wondering what the hell is going on. Plus, while she does kick Ridley's ass in the battle, she doesn't finish him off, he just leaves and gets offed by another boss, so she doesn't really get her chance at redemption or to show how much she's grown from that moment of weakness. No matter how I look at that scene, it's a place where the game horribly conveys what it wants for the character.
And looking at that scene, that's the major problem with the story in the game. It tries to set up the characters and story, but it does it too much through "Show, don't Tell" and fails to really elaborate on the characters. The biggest example I think that shows this is Adam, we're told he's a nice father figure, we don't see much of that, in fact, some of his scenes makes you think otherwise (yeah, shoot her in the back when a Metroid is nearby, that is safe). This is a character that we're supposed to grow attached to, and yet by the end of the game, a lot of people didn't care for him and most actually grew to dislike him. There was a major problem in conveying their characters, and while I do understand the attempt, I do think that the execution was very lacking.

Shadow showing up is obvious, yeah. Metal Sonic was already shown earlier, so if they aren't accounting for that, then he's the other one.
If he isn't though, then the only possible answers when ti comes to "Fan-Favorites" would be Rouge or Blaze.
And I'm reeeally hoping for Blaze. <3

I'm really hoping for Blaze.She's the only Sonic female character I like and arguably my favorite Sonic character.

Looks like Perci will have herself some competition when it comes to who will spawn the most Rule 34 in the Sonic Boom fandom.

You're right, I won't main Meta Knight for the same reasons. He needs every attack to recover 100%, and he needs more speed and recovery options.

It's like she's easily the best Sonic characters in the games or something. D:
Oh wait, she is. ¦3
You already made that tasteless joke yesterday. Get some new material. ¦DORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL

And thus why I'm glad that Naruto is going to end soon. Madara would've been the final antagonist until the strongest woman in the world comes right the hell out of nowhere with no buildup whatsoever.Naruto Logic:

What the hell is Chun-Li doing in Naruto? I thought she had better standards than that! D:
And yeah, not sure what Madara was thinking with that Kagura stuff, but Black Zetsu is the REAL villain in all of that.

Guess who's back?!
And no way in hell I am going to read over a 100 pages full of posts.
Anyway, what did I miss? I did check the daily pictures on Miiverse whenever I could. Cool stuff and epic trolling from Sakurai, especially regarding Meta Knight. So don't talk about Smash 4 news that I already know.
Of course, just because I was on vacations, I wasn't completely turned off from reality. It greatly shocked me when I heard the news about Robin William's death. May he rest in peace.

Borders with Portugal and is cheaper than any other destination. I did visit a few places in northeastern Portugal too.

Half of those faces look like something you'd see in a hentai doujin.

I'm not expecting one until next week at the earliest. Nintendo's probably on the verge of having a stroke hoping that Hyrule Warriors is a success at launch so there's no way they'd try to steal its thunder.

Wow, I can't believe you'd main someone who's completely broken with a bajillion recovery options and super fast.
Is this your motto:
Which is why I main Ganondorf in Brawl. I think I'm a masochist.

Pretty good. Got to visit places I've never been to and such. I always do that sort of stuff with my family every year.
Gonna take a while catching up with the stuff here on the forums, though.

For this thread, you missed nothing. There was one night this thread became the Official Ridley Thread 2.0, but that's it. And five competitive threads are still getting opened every day.Pretty good.

Yay! Welcome back Frost!
I want it. I want it now. After Age of Extinction and TMNT failed to meet expectations, I need something new to fulfill me.
