You just reminded me.

Way way back in the far off time known as August 2018, the original idea behind my "Noipoi" persona was that he was a legendary deity of sexiness and waffles. I was totally gonna run with that theme until I decided to be a normal person.

ok but why the mustache

 

[Zinith]

Of course my boi is the epitome of manliness!!!

 

[Cristaran]

I dunno, how muscular and or "fashion model fit", are you?

...Damnit. Not enough. BODYBUILDING TIME.

 

[KMDP]

ok but why the mustache

I thought that bit of blue was a pair of glasses.

 

[Noipoi]

ok but why the mustache

It's not a mustache, those are his glasses.

Yay! Noipoi lore!

Here's some more deep lore for you.

The original design wan't even supposed to be an avatar first. Sometimes I draw my plans and my schedule because i'm a nerd, and this is where I came up with this loose interpretation of myself.

This was made to remind myself of my plans for the year, like certain games or a trip to Chicago (which never happened). It was a stroke of luck that I crafted an "avatar" right when I needed a Smashboards avatar.

What defines ‘manliness’?

Serious answer: depends on who you ask.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

What defines ‘manliness’?

It's super manly to respect women and minorities. I literally wouldn't even consider dating any guys if they didn't have that at the very least

 

[staindgrey]

So, interesting thing happened to me with my last girlfriend. Since anyone would care to hear this.

Apparently I was too fit. Mind you, I'm not incredibly fit. I have a good metabolism, work in a warehouse and play rec sports on occasion. But I didn't have enough of a "dad bod" and she was steadily encouraging me to gain some weight and not... groom as much.

It was basically the exact opposite of anything I'd ever thought I'd hear from a significant other in my life.

 

[Noipoi]

What defines ‘manliness’?

Being secure in who you are, and defending what's important to you.

Having a waifu pillow.

It's super manly to respect women and minorities. I literally wouldn't even consider dating any guys if they didn't have that at the very least

Guess who respects women and minorities? This guy!

...wait

Your my mom! Eww...

 

[ZephyrZ]

What defines ‘manliness’?

The willingness to admit that you know all the lyrics to the song "Disco Girl" by girly pop sensation Babba without caring what anybody says or thinks.

I don’t care for being ‘manly’, but for being a nice dude; like you said, gender equality, racial diversity, and someone who doesn’t ostracise homosexuals.
Respecting morals, etc.
Does anyone else consider it wrong for some of my peers, who are 12-13 yrs like me, to be dating? It feels wrong.

It's not wrong at all. It's just not going to last. Getting experience as you age is an important part of learning how to do relationships right when you're older. Everyone has failed attempts at dating. May as well start when your parents are still driving you to the date.

 

[YoshiandToad]

What defines ‘manliness’?

Doing what's right.

It ain't about gender, it's about guts and willpower.

So sayeth Crimson Riot.

Dating?

Nah you're cool.

Needs to stay there though.

At 12 or 13, anything past a kiss makes me worry.

Regardless of getting experience, the kids oversexualise it to the point that it’s disconcerting.
I feel attracted to people, but whereas I seem to realise that it’s just hormones, the other kids don’t.
Get what I mean?

 

[Deleted member]

Double post, delete please.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Go home, Dipper.

I mean I'm not saying Dipper is a pokemon trainer, but like....

Vest, backpack and baseball cap? Check.
A desire to seek out, study, and capture monsters and ghosts? Check.
An encyclopedia on monsters received from an elderly researcher named after a type of tree? Check.
Recklessly attempted to punch an all-powerful psychic entity in the face, only to be deflected by a blue barrier? Check.

And have we ever seen Dipper, Red and Ash in the same room before?


Man I'm not even on a sugar high this night, I guess I'm just excited for the new social thread.

 

[---]

What defines ‘manliness’?

Respect other people. Be willing to admit mistakes and learn from them. Show at least a willingness on a base level to try new things & ideas.

Also to be able to give a proper nod of agreement with other men.

 

[Cristaran]

Men men men men, manly men men men!
Men men men men, manly men men men!
Men men men men, manly men, oo hoo hoo, hoo hoo, oo
Men men men men, manly men men men!
Men men men men, manly men men men!
Men...

That's not the Dippy Fresh way of being manly

 

[Idon]

Manliness is pretty simple to define.

It's about being as swift as a coursing river,
having the force of a great typhoon,
having the strength of a raging fire,
and being as mysterious as the dark side of the moooooooooon.

GAH, that's just a grim reminder that the live-action Mulan isn't gonna have songs!!!

...wait what? Mulan without songs? THIS IS MADNESS!

Real Men wear tights.
Tight tights
Always out defending the people's rights.

Sorry, but it had to be done.

 

[KarneraMythos]

What, dudes can't wear cute dresses now?

Freud is probably out in his grave laughing right now, but the bottom-half of that dress seriously looks like a god damn ****.

Well I now have five friends who prefer to go by "they" and it's very hard to keep track of. So.

I guess moral of the story is move to Portland and you don't have to pick one.

What do the words "pronoun" and "problem" have in common? They both start with "pro", as in "protect" your own sanity by using their name. Shortening it to substitute the pronoun bits seems like an ideal way not to resort to repetition.

This thread is very quiet.

Does that make Toon Link the manliest Link in Smash?

 

[Zippo]

As much as I'd like for Max's crazy MK in Smash theory today to be true, there's just no way that's happening because 1. I seriously doubt an MK character is getting into Smash just because a new MK game is coming to Switch. 2. A Warner Bros. Rep seems incredibly unlikely to me, 3. going by the datamine, the second fighters pass character is already in the code and most likely the next to be announced. 4. While stranger things have happened, I also seriously doubt Reggie is coming to an MK event to announce this, it would be on their own terms. Mortal Kombat being an M Rated game wouldn't even be the problem, considering we already have Joker and Bayonetta in there, and there have been more toned down MK games where the characters could be based off of, it's everything else that makes it unlikely.

If it did happen though. It would be absolutely be Scorpion. He's the most popular and most iconic character in the entire franchise. He's the sole character on the Mortal Kombat X and 11 boxart for a reason. This is coming from a huge Sub-Zero fan, by the way.

 

[Curious Villager]

Of course he is, he's the only one to stab Ganondorf right into his skull and successfully "kill him" rather than just "sealing him away", after all...

You have good points. I would still laugh if Max ends up getting an MK character anyway. He and Simmons sorta wanted/predicted characters like Little Mac, Cloud, and Bayonetta, and ended up getting them. He also really wanted Strider (though if my memory serves correctly, he only likely brought it up as an alt costume idea for Greninja). Some counter-points to your argument, however:
1. While true, nothing states it can't happen anyway. I'd say that if we do get an MK rep, it isn't necessarily due to MK11's release on the Switch.

2. I feel like Sora's in a similar position, being an alleged Disney character and whatnot. Even if we factor in those companies, we're talking about game characters, not cartoon characters who happen to star in their own games. Gigantic corporations they may be, I doubt the answer would be a hard "NO" without negotiations being heard first.

3. While yes, that's certainly what it looks to be right now, we don't know #3, 4, or 5 yet. Just because Erdrick/Slime/Sora/Bravely/What-have-you is implied to be next in line doesn't mean an MK rep isn't in the Fighter's Pass for that reason alone. We just need to wait and see.

4. I can see NetherRealm show off their game at E3 with Ed Boon teasing toward something. Whether it's MK-level guest character shenanigans, or foreshadowing into a Smash trailer without referencing it in the Microsoft/Sony panel, fact is that MK content will be shown on some level some time post-launch. If, hypothetically-speaking, we get Scorpion or Sub-Zero, I can see the announcement take place in Nintendo's panel.

Either way, it's easy to imagine what route they'd go with either of the Ninjas. It could be 2 alts (modern and classic) with the recolors based on the classic Ninja "rainbow" (i.e. Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, and Ermac), or go the full spectrum (i.e. Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, Ermac, Rain, Smoke, Noob, and Tremor).

Eh he's a bit of a boring dad in F-Zero (and he isn't even a dad!). Courageous and determined, sure, but otherwise dull. The other pilots have more vibrant personalities.

Uh, forgot what I was going to say already. I have tests in a few hours, so I'll be back after that.
