(Been on this website for 6 years and only now does someone know where half my username comes from? How long until someone gets the other part)
Octolings seem very unlikely to me.
If this was real, I would be 100% satisfied. But I know that most likely it's BS, so this hurts me.
But how dare FE have characters I don't like but make a lot of other people happy! I don't like happy people! /s
That's not The Great Leon. :/
I hate boxes, i hate speculation.
Post Nintendo-only characters that you'd like to see in Smash
More the idea that just because a character doesn't have a major publisher backing them that it makes them any less valid.
Is it stinkoman?
That's a pretty sucky mindset. Means they're missing out on a huge part of the game. I'll admit that I mostly spend my time on Omega/more competitive stages with most items off, but I'd miss items if they were removed all together.
>Dixie
DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!
He's also along with Marth the only FE Character (so far) that was added after their time of promotion (Marth's last game was published in 1994... and still he was considered even in Smash 64 because of how popular he was).
Speak for yourself, I really like Corrin. Their neutral B and pin side B are fun to use both competitively and casually. It's also hilarious when people get caught in the charging chainsaw F Smash.
This comment, sorry:
Apparently Cyndane is paying attention to me
I agree. It takes a lot of the fun out of it when items are off and only omega stages are used. They're missing out on half the game.
That's good they put a time limit on it too. Makes it exciting! This would be awesome and it's been a bit since we had faked footage (Springman and Decideueye was the last time right?).
Lol I need to be more careful with my words
Leon would be pretty great, though there's still other Star Fox characters I'd like to see.
Correction. Microtransactions and pay-to-win are the biggest epidemic in the gaming industry.
I'd say bad game developers/pubishers are the biggest epidemic in the gaming industry.
This dude. This dude right here is so damn good at these....And of course, before I was able to make a thread for the one thing that I've been doing for over a week, I've been beaten to the punch.
Either way, this will be a masterpost of every single codec I write. No specific order or anything, but one codec will be written per day for each character, including Smash 4 veterans, Melee and Brawl returnees, and newcomers.
Codecs:
Snake: ...I've dealt with weird looking people and creatures before in Smash, but Otacon, what the heck is that thing?
Otacon: That "thing" you're referring to is called Greninja, a Water and Dark type Pokémon. It's able to shoot shurikens made of compressed water from its hands, and can make swords from water too.
Snake: So it's some sort of frog ninja... it also seems to wear a scarf, but what is it made of?
Otacon: WAIT SNAKE, DON'T TOUCH IT, THAT'S ITS-
Snake: EUGH, it's all wet and sticky, just what kind of scarf IS THAT?
Otacon: ...that's not a scarf, Snake, that's its tongue.
Snake: ...well, that explains a lot. But why didn't you tell me that earlier?!
Otacon: I-but-you-f-forget it... just make sure to shower after this fight.
Snake: Right.
Snake: Great, they let another young kid in here. Why do they think it's fine for us to beat up children? And what's with the blue get-up anyways?
Colonel: That's no ordinary child, Snake, that's Mega Man. He's a walking arsenal in the form of a child sized robot.
Snake: So he's a robot, and not just some ordinary human kid... What can he even do that makes him an "arsenal" aside from shoot lasers out of that cannon of his?
Colonel: Far more than you think. He uses the powers of various Robot Masters he's defeated in the past, including shooting mini tornadoes, flames, and bombs from both of his arms, as well as using other weapons like claws, swords, and blades.
Snake: Impressive... even a Metal Gear can't do all of that. Even with all of those weapons, he has to have some sort of weakness, though...
Colonel: I hope you still remember the basics of CQC, Snake, they'll be useful against Mega Man. Most of his weapons are long range, so the best way to take him down is by getting up close and personal with him.
Snake: Got it.
Snake: Otacon, what's with this guy? He looks, acts, and sounds just like Pit, but... edgier...
Otacon: That, Snake, is Dark Pit, an evil clone of Pit created by the Mirror of Truth. His personality is made entirely of Pit's repressed thoughts and feelings, and is far more aggressive than the original Pit. He also uses similar weapons and abilities as the original, so he basically has the same strengths and weaknesses.
Snake: So he's an evil clone... sounds familiar, right?
Otacon: Snake, you and I both know very well that Les Enfants Terribles is nothing like the Mirror of Truth, and you're also a clone too!
Snake: And yet Liquid is still the evil one, not me. Anything else that I need to know?
Otacon: No, just... do what you normally do.
Snake: Okay, who's the genius that decides who gets into Smash? The fact that they're still letting young children participate is starting to get out of hand, this kid doesn't seem to have any psychic powers, weapons, or anything else they can fight with...
Mei Ling: Oh, that's the Villager, Snake, they're the young mayor of the town called Smashville! Just because they may basically be a normal person doesn't mean they can't fight. Rather than using weapons or super powers, the Villager uses simple items including an umbrella, a bug net, and a slingshot in battle.
Snake: But it seems like all of these items are just coming out of nowhere, where are they getting them from?
Mei Ling: They have the ability to store many items in their pockets, just about anything can be stored in the form of a leaf back where they come from. Large items like a bowling ball, a shovel, and even an axe can be stored in their pockets.
Snake: An axe?! Why didn't you tell me about that before?!
Mei Ling: They don't use their axe to attack you with directly, they can plant a tree and chop it down in an instant with the axe.
Snake: Oh... but I'm still going to keep my distance, I get a bad feeling just from looking in their eyes...
Snake: Great, Sonic's here again, and I'm still not a fan. Any new dirt on him, Otacon?
Otacon: *staticy* ...Sna-...I...some-...inter-...
Snake: What the- Otacon, come in! What's going on?
???: Ohohoho... Don't worry about him, Snake, if you want information about Sonic, I'm just the guy.
Snake: Who are you? How did you get into this channel?
???: Who am I? Only the world's greatest genius, Dr. Ivo Robotnik! But you may call me Dr. Eggman.
Snake: Couldn't say I've heard of you before. Plus, the name Eggman is ridiculous, makes it seem like you're a giant talking egg.
Eggman: WHAT?! HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME! I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU DEFEAT SONIC!
Snake: More like trying to distract me from this fight. This call is over.
Eggman: W-WAIT, DON'T HANG UP, I-
Snake: Why is this normal dog and duck so annoying to fight? And where's all of this cover fire coming from?
Colonel: If you've played the original Super Mario Bros., then the classic game titled Duck Hunt should sound familiar to you, Snake. It came in the same cartridge as Super Mario Bros..
Snake: So that explains why these two are here... But it still doesn't explain where all these shots are coming from, though. Is there a sniper somewhere?
Colonel: Essentially, yes. This animal duo is being assisted by an unseen gunman, using an NES Zapper to fire shots to help with their attacks, just as if they were playing a game of Duck Hunt. The dog can also summon one of five different Wild Gunmen from the game Wild Gunman to attack you with and protect itself, but they can be taken out easily.
Snake: Interesting... You know, I wonder how good Ocelot would be at Duck Hunt, seems just like his kind of game.
Snake: Hey Otacon, isn't that Ryu, that Japanese guy known all over the world for winning all of those World Warrior martial arts tournaments?
Otacon: Yeah, that's him! I can't believe you're actually getting to fight him!
Snake: He looks as tough as we've heard, and seems ready to take anyone on.
Otacon: You know, there's also that one thing I always really wanted to do with you if you ever met Ryu in battle... ...can we do it?
Snake: Oh yeah, that thing. Let's do it. aaahhh... HADOUKEN!
Otacon: SHORYUKEN!
Snake: ...Please don't tell Colonel and Mei Ling we do these things.
Snake: Looks like someone got quite a nose job compared to the last time I saw him.
Colonel: Be on your guard, Snake, Ganondorf isn't fooling around this time. He's stronger than ever, and quite a force to be reckoned with.
Snake: Aside from the obvious wardrobe change, what's new about him that makes him so dangerous?
Colonel: That sword of his is the main reason, he now has access to attacking any opponent at a further range than ever before. His more youthful appearance also lets him move faster, ever so slightly, so watch out for him.
Snake: ...So he just has a long range weapon and is younger... that's it? Changed or not, I'm still gonna try to blow him sky high with C4s. Better than any old sword.
Mei Ling: It's even more adorable than I imagined!
Snake: This thing? It looks like it's just a smaller Pikachu, what's the big deal?
Mei Ling: That's because it's exactly that, Snake, a baby Pikachu! Pichu is the pre-evolved form of Pikachu. It can't store electricity well in its body, unlike Pikachu, so if it's startled, it can end up shocking itself.
Snake: That's kind of... sad. It's like I were to always blow myself up every time I used a grenade.
Mei Ling: Oh, and one last thing, Snake?
Snake: ...don't even bother, I've already told you NO! For the last time, I'm here to fight, not capture a mutant baby rat for you!
Mei Ling: ...fine.
Snake: ...look, I'm sorry, we'll talk after this battle.
Snake: Hey Otacon, it's Donkey Kong, he sure looks ready to fight.
Otacon: Watch out, Snake! Apparently DK's bigger, faster, and stronger too!
Snake: I mean he is somewhat bigger, I'll give him that... Anything else new on him?
Otacon: Not too much, but I've heard that he also has a coconut gun, I'm surprised he doesn't use it here.
Snake: Coconuts? That's gotta hurt, getting hit in the face with something that big repeatedly...
Otacon: Not only that, but he's also the leader of a group called the DK Crew, there's 5 of them!
Snake: 5 of them? Huh, they must do a lot of monkeying around together...
Otacon: *groan*...
Snake: ...fine. Less puns, more fighting.
Snake: This thing... it's giving off a very weird vibe...
Colonel: That thing you're referring to is Mewtwo, a clone of the mythical Pokémon Mew, created by Team Rocket scientists, mainly a man named Dr. Fuji. They recombined the genes of Mew to create Mewtwo's body, but he lacks any and all compassion, being an extremely savage creature instead.
Snake: A clone, huh? Looks like we're in the same boat.
Colonel: He has extremely powerful psychic powers, so be on the defensive around him, Snake.
Snake: Psychic powers... I'll really start worrying about this guy if he asks me if I like Castlevania.
Snake: Real or not, that sword looks like it was a prop made for one of your anime conventions, Otacon.
Otacon: That sword is called the Monado, and the guy wielding it is named Shulk. And it's the furthest thing from just a simple prop, the Monado is an extremely powerful weapon.
Snake: It looks like it's just a giant red piece of plastic, what makes it so powerful?
Otacon: It can manipulate ether around it, being able to change the material and immaterial shape of the world. The Monado also lets the user have visions of the future, helping them predict their opponents' moves.
Snake: ...wow, that sounds strong. Yet this Shulk guy swings it around like a giant toy.
Otacon: Oh, I almost forgot, the Monado can only be used by a person with very strong willpower, anyone else that tries to control it will only hurt themselves.
Snake: That sounds messed up...
Otacon: I think that's enough from me before I start to fanboy over seeing Shulk and the Monado in action. He's so cool...
Snake: ...Right.
Mei Ling: Look, Snake, it's Yoshi! Isn't he adorable?
Snake: I refuse to call him adorable, especially when nearly everything he eats comes out as an egg. His digestive system is the furthest thing from being normal.
Mei Ling: Snake, why are you so worried about that stuff? Eggs or not, he's super cute!
Snake: Not to mention, he also uses his tongue to grab people to eat, which is already disgusting without the egg part...
Mei Ling: Knock it off! *sigh* One day I'll get to ride a Yoshi, but until then, I guess I'm stuck with you talking about its digestive system...
Snake: Just the thought of being eaten alive by a Yoshi still creeps me out regardless of how "cute" it is.
Mei Ling: *groan* ...
Snake: This is Snake, do you copy? I repeat, do you copy?
???: Loud and clear, Snake.
Snake: Huh? You're not Mei Ling... who are you?
???: No need to contact her when you have me to tell you everything you need to know about, well, me.
Snake: Wait a minute, you're the green-haired lady that I'm currently fighting? You definitely don't seem to be familiar with this technology, how did you get onto this channel?
Palutena: First off, you can call me Palutena. Second, there's no fancy technology involved in what I'm doing, just some telekinesis. After all, I am the Goddess of Light.
Snake: A goddess? No wonder you look so stunning.
Palutena: Oh Snake, don't make me blush, we're currently battling after all. As a goddess, I have many powers such as light magic, lasers, and teleportation. Just because I am beautiful like you said, doesn't mean I'm not going to go all out on you.
Snake: You're on.
Snake: Otacon, I thought that Marth was a guy, why does he sound like a girl and have longer hair now?
Otacon: No, Snake, that's Lucina, his Great Great Great Great Great... uh... actually, let's just say that she's his descendant by quite a few years.
Snake: Descendant? Are you sure I've only been gone for 10 years? It's now starting to look like 100 at this point...
Otacon: Well, she actually came back to the past from the future in order to stop the world from being destroyed by Grima, the Fell Dragon.
Snake: Time travel, huh... but isn't she potentially risking a time paradox by sticking around?
Otacon: Time paradox? Uh... you should talk to Colonel about that instead of me, I think he's more familiar with that kind of stuff.
Snake: Huh, alright.
& Koopalings
Snake: Did Bowser have a kid or something? That turtle in the smiley face hovercraft looks kind of similar to him...
Otacon: Yes, Bowser does have a biological son, as well as seven adopted children. Whoever you're facing right now is one of them, and they're very dangerous, the Junior Clown Car they're in is loaded with weaponry like drills, cannons, buzzsaws, and wrecking balls.
Snake: Interesting... But how did they manage to fit so many things into that tiny vehicle?
Otacon: ...I don't think we should question that... Anyways, be careful around them, you never know what item will come out of the Junior Clown Car next. It could even be a giant tongue.
Snake: Giant tongue? Great, I hate having to constantly take showers after these fights... Third time today, even.
*AUX CALL PUSH SELECT*
Snake: Colonel, anything new about Falco?
???: Sorry Snake, but I'll be briefing you again about my fellow teammate!
Snake: What the- Oh great, it's you again... Sloppy Frog was it?
Slippy: Slippy Toad, to be exact, and I'm the furthest thing from sloppy. I'm Star Fox's expert mechanic!
Snake: Oh yeah, you did design the blasters and reflectors after all... Wait a minute, you promised me that you'd design a weapon for me the next time we met... Well?
Slippy: So... about that weapon... I haven't found too much time for it, Star Fox is constantly getting caught up in stopping intergalactic wars! Don't worry, I'll find some time, I promise I won't keep you waiting!
Snake: I guess even in space, war never changes...
Snake: Colonel, why is Mario wearing scrubs? I thought he was a plumber...
Colonel: That's not just regular Mario, that's Dr. Mario, Snake. His profession is eradicating viruses and diseases in the Mushroom Kingdom with his colorful Megavitamins.
Snake: Dr. Mario? So he got a medical license within the past 10 years...
Colonel: Mario has actually had this profession since the 1980s, he retired from it temporarily. He's not too different from his plumber persona, so most of the same strategies used to fight regular Mario should work here.
Snake: This going to be one heck of a physical...
Snake: Otacon, what's the deal with this person? Are they a dragon or a human?
Otacon: Yes.
Snake: Yes? What do you mean by just "Yes"?
Otacon: Corrin is both human AND dragon, being a descendant of the First Dragons, having the ability to change to and from their dragon form in battle. They can even change individual body parts at will to dragon appendages, and use them to their advantage.
Snake: Individual body parts? Including their-
Otacon: YES EVEN THOSE! Let's keep this game away from being M rated, thank you very much...
Snake: Huh? What did you think I was gonna say? I was just asking about their back, they seem to be sprouting wings out of nowhere...
Otacon: ...Oh... forget what I said... Just... finish this battle...
Snake: ...okay then.
Mei Ling: Its Kirby, Snake! He looks as soft as ever... and hungry too.
Snake: I wonder... How is he always so hungry? It seems like at least half of his body is made of fat...
Mei Ling: I don't think it's fat, but I honestly don't know what it is... Marshmallows?
Snake: Marshmallows? His body looks nothing like marshmallows, it's a round pink ball! ...but does he taste like marshmallows?
Mei Ling: I bet he do- wait, WHAT?! TASTE?! Don't tell me that you're going to try to eat him, Snake! That's disgusting and wrong!
Snake: And whenever Kirby tries to eat me or someone else, you probably see it as "cute and adorable," don't you?
Mei Ling: *groan* ...
Snake: ...hypocrite.
Colonel: If you're a boxing fan, then who you're currently fighting against should seem familiar to you, Snake. Does the name Little Mac ring a bell?
Snake: I think I've heard about this guy before, wasn't he that underdog who won the WVBA championship years ago?
Colonel: Correct, he's the current WVBA champion, ever since he did what many considered "impossible" and defeated the former champion, Mr. Sandman.
Snake: I'm definitely not surprised that his victory was considered "impossible," he's smaller than I thought.
Colonel: He might be small, but he can hit surprisingly harder than you think. His deadliest move is the K.O. Uppercut, which can send you sky high if it connects. However, he's most vulnerable in the air, you'll have the upper hand if you can get him off the ground.
Snake: This is gonna be one entertaining fight...
Snake: Last time I checked, paintball wasn't this extreme... Mei Ling, what's the deal with this kid shooting paint all over the place? Something also seems a bit fishy about them, are they even really human?
Mei Ling: They're an Inkling, Snake, and they're a human-squid hybrid that can swim through their own colorful ink. All the weapons they use, including the gun and the giant paint roller are used in their own games of Turf Wars, where two teams of four compete to coat as much ground of a specific area as possible.
Snake: So it's basically extreme paintball but with squids and shooting the floor rather than each other...
Mei Ling: Well, yeah, I guess that's one way to describe it... Oh, I also forgot to mention, even though they're part squid, they can't swim in water, they dissolve as if they were made of liquid if they touch water.
Snake: Great, where can I find the nearest bucket of water? I want to win this fight quickly before my entire sneaking suit gets ruined...
Snake: Gross, it's Wario. I don't care how cool his motorcycle might be, I want to be as far away from him as possible before I start to smell like garlic.
Otacon: At least you'll keep vampires away if you do smell like garlic...
Snake: Vampires? It's not like there's any vampires in Smash. And besides, the stench will keep everyone else away, just like how they avoid Wario.
Otacon: That reminds me... remember that guy named Vamp from Dead Cell? I wonder if garlic would keep him away as well, with him having superpowers as if he were a real vampire...
Snake: He's dead for good, Otacon, don't you remember? Now can you please help me deal with Wario? Anything new on him?
Otacon: Nothing new, just stay away from both his front and rear ends just like last time. Garlic stench or not, they're both nasty.
Snake: Right.
Snake: Colonel, do you have any idea what's going on? It looks like I'm fighting myself... again!
Colonel: It seems so... but how do I know that you're not the copy? For all I know, you could be the imposter, trying to get information out of me on the real Snake and everything that we know!
Snake: Are you kidding me?! You have to believe me, Colonel, I'm the real one!
Snake (2): Stop parading around with my appearance, I'm the real Snake!
Snake: What the- you got into this channel too?!
Snake (2): How wouldn't I, I know everything that you know... In fact, I probably know everything that you're planning to do!
Snake: And how is that going to help you? I know everything that you're going to do!
Snake (2): This is getting ridiculous... let's just settle this with our fists and see who's the real deal.
Snake: Fine.
Snake: I wonder where I could possibly get a suit like Samus'... Nothing is wrong with this sneaking suit, but it doesn't come with an arm cannon and all of the fixings...
Mei Ling: It's alien technology, Snake, which I doubt that you'll be able to get your hands on. Also, to even use her Varia Suit to its fullest potential, you also have to be very flexible and athletic.
Snake: I get that she's flexible, but how is rolling up into the shape of a ball that small even comfortable for her to do repeatedly? Shouldn't her ribs be crushed or something?
Mei Ling: Unless we ask her ourselves, I guess we might never know...
Snake: Or, I can steal her suit while she's not wearing it, and have Otacon take a look. I could probably even try it on.
Mei Ling: ...You probably shouldn't have said that out loud, Samus is probably angry now. Well, good luck fighting an angry space bounty hunter!
Snake: Otacon, look at the size of this guy's sword, is he really able to lift that thing?
Otacon: Wait, what?! I-is that...?! C-CLOUD STRIFE?!
Snake: I guess that's his name... what's the big deal, is there something very important about him that I need to know?
Otacon: N-no, it's just th-that... I think I'm gonna faint...
Snake: What? Faint? What's wrong? I need you to give me a strategy to deal with him!
Otacon: I-I can't believe it's really h-him...! After all of th-these years... *sigh*
Snake: What the- Otacon, are you okay?! Are you there, Otacon?!
Otacon: ...
Snake: Otacon?! OTACON?! OOOTAAACOOOOOOOONNN!!!!!!
Snake: What the- did we travel back to the past or something? Link's a kid! What's going on here, Mei Ling?
Mei Ling: I'm definitely not the person you should be talking to about time travel... Thankfully, Otacon apparently left some notes on "every Link" that you might meet in battle, according to this title.
Snake: Well that's handy... What does it say about this little guy? He has a wooden shield with a red spiral...
Mei Ling: Let's see... okay, it looks like you're facing Young Link, who's apparently no stranger to Smash. There's not too many things that are different about him except his age and smaller body size, his Fire Arrows, and his... love of Lon-Lon Milk?
Snake: Milk, huh? He's a growing boy, obviously he should drink plenty of milk. But those Fire Arrows... I hope this sneaking suit is flameproof, or this game might become M-Rated...
Mei Ling: Snake, stop putting images like that in my head, it's weird, and you're also in front of a child!
Snake: ...Sorry about that.
Snake: Colonel, this woman has regular guns with her! What's so special about her that she gets to bring pistols and I'm just stuck with explosives and CQC?
Colonel: Those aren't ordinary guns, Snake, they're guns that fire magic bullets rather than regular ammunition. Her name is Bayonetta, and she's an Umbra Witch. Umbra Witches are able to use magic such as Bullet Arts to fight opponents, as well as summon demons through different mediums.
Snake: Demons? That's really... dark... How does she do it?
Colonel: Most commonly, Umbra Witches summon demons using their hair and chanting a spell. Bayonetta constantly uses hers.
Snake: Really? Her hair? That's ridiculous... By the way, I wonder if there's any scissors around...
Colonel: You'll only anger her if you try to cut it, and making an Umbra Witch angry is something you'll instantly regret, unless you want to get an uppercut from a giant demon fist.
Snake: Well, there goes that idea.
:ultrobin
Snake: Otacon, it looks like who I'm fighting is more interested in reading rather than fighting. That must be a really good book if they're reading it in the middle of battle, or they're trying to cram for a test...
Otacon: That's a tome filled with a wide variety of spells rather than any normal book, Snake. Robin is a spellcaster, being able to use powerful spells like Thoron and Elwind among others to attack, but that's only when their tome isn't used up.
Snake: What do you mean used up? Do they have to stop in the middle of battle to return their spell book to the library or something?
Otacon: No, that's not even close. After using so many spells, they're unable to use their tome and literally toss it away. Eventually they pull a new one of the same kind... out of nowhere... okay, now it seems really strange, saying it out loud.
Snake: Yeah, where in the world do they get more books? Are their robes actually like a giant trench coat that can fit about 50 of them? And where are they getting the money to even buy all of them anyways?
Otacon: I think we should worry about all of that some other time... This is getting more confusing by the minute.
Snake: Jigglypuff again? Thankfully, I came prepared- Huh? Don't tell me... I swear I brought earplugs with me this time around...
Mei Ling: Missing something, Snake?
Snake: You've gotta be kidding me, Mei Ling. Why?
Mei Ling: Sorry, but Colonel wanted you to literally face the music and go into battle without earplugs or anything else along those lines. He considers it cheating when you're fighting Jigglypuff, because nobody else in Smash has anything to stop hearing her song.
Snake: *grumble* Well there goes my shot at becoming top tier...
Mei Ling: But... if you want, we can send a blanket and pillow to you for the next time you're facing Jigglypuff in battle...
Snake: ...you're not gonna let this go anytime soon, are you?
Mei Ling: Nope! Sweet dreams, Snake!
Snake: There's one thing about Meta Knight that's always bothered me, Colonel... How does constantly spinning like that not make him dizzy? Apparently it makes him stronger than everyone else...
Colonel: No need to worry about Meta Knight being considerably "overpowered," Snake, you'll be having a much more fair fight against him. Besides, he always prefers to give any opponent a fair chance in a duel with him.
Snake: If he wanted me to have a fair chance, he'd probably give me a sword. If anybody's good with a sword, it's Raiden, not me. By the way... any idea what he's even up to right now?
Colonel: Last thing I've heard was something dealing with a robot wolf and nanomachines... Otherwise, I'm not sure myself.
Snake: Sounds interesting... but not as interesting as fighting a knight with bat wings with just your bare hands.
Colonel: Take him down, Snake!
Snake: Otacon, isn't that Rosalina, that lady who helped Mario save the princess a couple of times? Her star-shaped "buddy" is shooting giant rock candy at me!
Otacon: Those are actually Star Bits, Snake, but according to my research, apparently Star Bits actually taste like honey, believe it or not.
Snake: Who cares if they're edible, THEY HURT! Wait a minute, I just remembered, don't those little star guys call her "Mama?" What kind of mother forces her children to fight in Smash?
Otacon: *lowered voice* ...and what kind of father considers letting his 4 year-old son pilot a Metal Gear?
Snake: Huh? Did you say something?
Otacon: N-no, it's nothing... j-just focus on the battle.
Snake: Ness should have a family back home that worries about him, right? I wonder why his mother would let him participate in something like Smash at such a young age...
Mei Ling: I mean he saved the world once, so his mom should probably be fine with him fighting other Nintendo characters. And to think it all started with a meteor landing near his house, and an insect named Buzz Buzz saying that Ness and 3 other kids were going to save the world...
Snake: ...So his mother was fine with him leaving home just because a bug said that he was going to save the world?
Mei Ling: I think maybe it's because of another similar event that took place years before Ness' journey, she might've known that other boy that stopped another alien invasion all those years ago. If anything, she might've helped him.
Snake: Or it's probably a regular thing that happens where they come from, an alien invasion is attempted, only to be thwarted by some random kid with psychic powers every decade or so...
Snake: Wait a minute, isn't this Ridley, that giant dragon who constantly fights Samus? I could've sworn he was bigger...
Colonel: Be aware of everything going on in this battle, Snake, Ridley is for certain your deadliest opponent here in Smash, and we can't afford to lose you. He might be not as big as you may remember, but he's still ruthless in battle, with plenty of tricks up his sleeve.
Snake: Why are you so worried, Colonel? I've fought Ganondorf and Bowser a few times and survived, I don't think there's too much that'll be different here against Ridley.
Colonel: Either way, he's still a formidable opponent, Snake. Don't get too relaxed, or you might end up on the dinner table for him and his crew of Space Pirates.
Snake: Speaking of the Space Pirates, how did he even become the one in charge of all of them? He seems more primitive rather than some sort of intellectual.
Colonel: As I've been saying, he's a deadly fighter, so his sheer strength likely persuaded the Space Pirates to make him their commander. Apparently brawn is more appealing to them than brains.
Snake: King Dedede is kind of interesting to me... He looks like a penguin, but he can fly by floating in the air, somehow. Thing is, is he even a penguin?
Otacon: I still don't understand how he's able to float with all of that weight... His body is mostly fat rather than anything else since he loves to eat food he steals from the people of Dreamland, the same place he's supposed to be the ruler of.
Snake: I'm surprised that nobody's tried to overthrow him, then. Is everyone way too lazy to even deal with him?
Otacon: Aside from Kirby and Meta Knight, it seems so. It's a cycle of sorts, where King Dedede steals food, and then Kirby defeats him, only for it to happen again after a while. I guess everyone's too lazy to even try to do anything else to protect their food, and just rely on Kirby.
Snake: But Dedede never seems to give up. Seems persistent and annoying to me. If I lived in Dreamland, I'd probably plant mines all around my house after the first time he stole my food. That'd definitely teach him a lesson...
Mei Ling: Out of Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle, who would you pick, Snake? Honestly, I'm not sure who I'd pick out of the three... they're all adorable!
Snake: That's only until they evolve, and they're much stronger when they're evolved. Knowing you, you'd probably just stop them from evolving. Heck, you'd probably not even battle with them, so what would be the point of having one?
Mei Ling: Just because I would have a Pokémon doesn't mean I have to be a trainer and battle with them. I've heard that there's other things such as performance contests, musicals, movies, and way more that anyone can do with their Pokémon that isn't battling.
Snake: You've got me there. All 3 of them would be pretty useful in a variety of missions, if you think about it. I could hop on the back of a Charizard and use it at a getaway ride, or use a Venusaur to take out guards from a distance with its vines. And if I had a Blastoise, then no more needing to swim.
Mei Ling: You'd basically be using them as tools, and not treating them like living things! That just isn't right!
Snake: Yeah, I guess I'm fine on my own. Unless there's one that can help me turn invisible, that'd be useful...
Mei Ling: Here we go again...
Snake: I've always wondered this about Pac-Man: are those yellow dots that he constantly eats even supposed to be edible? Are they even supposed to be something other than just generic dots? What do they even taste like?
Colonel: Nobody knows for sure, Snake, and since Pac-Man seems to be fine with consuming ghosts, who knows if those dots were truly meant to be edible. It seems like he'll just eat anything that's standing in his way, or die trying.
Snake: Not to mention, he's also tossing perfectly good fruit around, shouldn't he be eating that stuff instead? At least there's no juice stains left behind from them, they're hard to wash out of my sneaking suits...
Colonel: That's the least of your worries, Snake, focus on keeping your distance from Pac-Man since he hits the hardest up close. However, you should keep your eye out for any bouncing fire hydrants, they hit harder than most other moves that Pac-Man has.
Snake: Bouncing fire hydrants? Where in the world does he get something like that?! Geez, for one of the most iconic characters in gaming history, he's also probably the strangest as well.
Snake: Otacon, what's the deal with Link? He looks completely different compared to the last time I saw him...
Otacon: That's because this is a different Link than the one you fought before, Snake.
Snake: What? A different Link? What are you even talking about? This IS Link, right?
Otacon: The thing is, there's a bunch of different Links, all from different eras. They all have accomplished various feats in saving the world, with each earning a different title such as the Hero of the Wild, which is the Link you're facing right now.
Snake: But there's also that younger and cartoony looking Link that I fought, how does he even fit in?
Otacon: Let's just say things are kind of complicated in Hyrule when it comes to time-related stuff... Anyways, there's plenty of other Links, including the Hero of Twilight, the Hero of Light... and the Hero of Koridai? Strange, it looks like there's nothing else on this one, but it's probably a Link that some people want to forget for some reason...
Snake: Peach looks happy as ever despite being in a game like Smash, wouldn't you say? It's not like it's any better than getting kidnapped constantly, you instead just get beat up by others.
Mei Ling: She's got plenty of experience with defending herself, though, she's been around for quite a while in Smash and can definitely hold her own. Don't underestimate her innocent appearance, Snake.
Snake: Plus she's got that little Toad guy helping her out, and she even uses stuff like golf clubs and frying pans... Wait a minute, where do they even come from?
Mei Ling: She likely has plenty of space under her dress to store all of them, but I'm not too sure. Otherwise, it's probably a secret that should remain a secret.
Snake: Just like plenty of other things about women... by the way, remind me, what year were you born in?
Mei Ling: Nice try Snake, but you should never ask a women her age or her weight. You'll just have to find out yourself.
Snake: It's kind of weird thinking about how long Marth has been around in Smash for, it feels like quite a long while... but the length of his sword is kind of more ridiculous, it's definitely longer than other medieval swords that I've seen.
Otacon: Believe it or not, Marth was actually considered to be a character in the original Smash Bros. on the Nintendo 64, Snake. Even though Fire Emblem was a Japan exclusive title at the time, he was seriously considering as a fighter for the title, but was excluded because of time constraints. If he were in the game, he would've been around in Smash for longer.
Snake: Things like that is always pretty interesting... were there any other characters that could've been in the game along with him?
Otacon: Apparently Mewtwo was planned for the game, while Bowser and King Dedede were both cut during development. Who knows what the game could've been like if we also had them...
Snake: And who knows how different things could've been had I been able to participate in that melee they had 17 years ago...
Otacon: For the last time, Snake, that was 17 years ago, can't you drop it for once?
Snake: Remember that Wii console that Otacon got for us 12 years ago? There were those custom avatars that we all made, and it looks like I'm fighting one.
Colonel: So you do recognize the Mii Fighter, Snake. When we first made Miis, we used them in various sports and party games rather than any violent games like Smash, so seeing a Mii here is likely surprising to you.
Snake: Not really... at this point, it's not too surprising, having faced off against much stranger characters here in the past. Then again, who knows what kind of Miis I'll be facing, they're completely customizable.
Colonel: That's right, Snake, the possibilities are endless with Miis, you could be fighting the likeness of a celebrity, a politician, a cartoon character, or even an animal. And don't forget, there's three different fighting styles that they can use, so use each of their weaknesses to your advantage.
Snake: ...or they could be a shoddy recreation of me or any of you guys. Cheap knockoffs that'll never be as good as the real deal.
Snake: Gahh... My back is killing me all of a sudden, Mei Ling. It feels like a Metal Gear is stepping on me! Wait a minute, isn't that one of the exercise trainers from Wii Fit over there?
Mei Ling: I think maybe it's because you've been sneaking around the place too much for no good reason, but a person like them should definitely be able to help. They're a master at whipping people back into shape, and I'm pretty sure they can help you fix your posture issue.
Snake: What in the world do you think I even do when I'm not fighting? For what reason would I be "sneaking around?"
Mei Ling: I mean, it's pretty clear that you have somewhat of an interest in a certain bounty hunter...
Snake: ...Really? I'm just gonna change the topic and try to figure out how to approach the Wii Fit Trainer and ask them to help me with my back, I just want this pain to finally go away. As long as I don't have to use their dumb Balance Board thing...
Snake: Otacon, have I ever told you how much I hate monkeys? I only realized that a few minutes ago when I started fighting Diddy Kong...
Otacon: Is he really giving you that hard of a time? I mean you did fight him previously...
Snake: AGH! Stop jumping around all over the place! Get back here! He won't stop fooling around!
Otacon: I mean he is a chimpanzee, so he's obviously pretty agile and light, especially compared to you. And he's "fooling around" because that's what any other monkey would normally do.
Snake: So that's how you wanna be, huh? Bananas? Have some grapes instead! And don't forget to remove that stem at the top!
Otacon: Really, Snake? He's smart enough to know that your grenades aren't food! That is, unless you painted them purple or something...
Colonel: Careful, Snake, Wolf has returned to Smash along with you, and he's prepared for everything that can and will be thrown at him this time. He might look somewhat different, but he's still very cunning when it comes to fighting.
Snake: It looks like he's been through plenty of stuff while away from Smash. That eyepatch of his definitely means a thing or two... either he's had plenty of brutal fights, he got bested by Star Fox again, or both...
Colonel: Correct, he's had many battles against Fox and his team, as well as doing general bounty hunting, where he's always risking life and limb just to get paid. It looks like he's already paid the price of working with Andross with half of his vision.
Snake: And I'm constantly doing the missions that I do, risking my own life just to keep the world from blowing up. Literally. Payment is always good, but having the satisfaction of having saved the lives of billions is always better.
Colonel: I couldn't be any happier to be on your side, Snake. Your skills have ended up saving the world so many times without innocent civilians realizing that their very lives were at stake.
Snake: Lucario has always stood out from everyone else in Smash to me because of how he has "the aura." Seriously, how does his "aura" thing even work?
Mei Ling: I'm guessing that just saying his lifeforce is not a good enough explanation for you at this point. If that's the case, I'm not sure if I can answer that question, Snake.
Snake: True, it's not like either one of us, or Otacon or Colonel is an expert on everything to do with Pokémon. There's many other things that we don't know about them.
Mei Ling: If anything, a Pokémon Professor or a Nurse Joy could answer all of our questions that we have about Pokémon, but we have too many to even list!
Snake: Wait, I just realized, when I teamed up with Lucario 10 years ago on that one mission, he was able to see me through my cardboard box... Last I heard, his "aura" doesn't grant him X-Ray vision, does it?
Mei Ling: Huh, that is strange... maybe the Pokédex just quite isn't 100% complete yet!
This post will be updated daily with every codec I write, but each codec will always be posted first in the Smash Ultimate General Discussion thread. Regardless, there is a link to this post in my signature so everyone can read every codec I've wrote, in case someone missed out on reading a previous codec.
I was about to point this out but you beat me to it per the norm.
Yeah, what she does is pretty neat.
I mean they have to see that pay to win is starting to lose tracti----Who am I kidding. Pay-to-Win is a lot of developers Life support!
Agree. It's why I don't like neither him/her or :ultrobin.
Maybe not directly then, but in the EVERYBODY IS HERE trailer.
I dunno about that. They're obviously not in, but there's more valid reasons than that.
Honestly, Kris is probably up there.
I've never played New Mystery of The Emblem. I know it exists, but I haven't played it. Is Kris really that bad?
Not really. A sample size of 1 isn't effective. I think they will/would reveal them closer to release.
New Overwatch characters are dlc, but I know what you mean
This.
Shame they miss out on the best Smash stages that way, Hyrule Temple and Mushroom Kingdom 64.
Not really..remember that Inklings weren't announced at E3, they were announced in a teaser, they could also not have been made at the time since Octo Expansion was still new..they could be amongst the last Echoes made or not be finished in time a become DLC....or just be DLC.
What about DLC?
Mushroom Kingdom 64 was my most wanted returning stage, and I've thought the same thing about the Octolings. I bet they'd be DLC
It's the worst case of Remember the New Guy I've ever seen, in particular because Kris is a total sue-like self insert.
