Still, they did have a point. How come we haven't banned everyone yet? They're all too broken.

I panicked over a Club Nintendo e-mail. I thought someone hacked my account.
Turns out my soundtrack is shipping.

It was a troll post.
If you had at least skipped to the bottom you would have realized that.
He wasn't serious.
It was a joke.
Like I said, even if the OP was a troll, there are genuine supporters like @MonK4 (who has been, in the past, vocally against character diversity) who I just... I can't believe them.

Would you read a wall of text that began with something to the effect of, "we shouldn't allow schools to add books published after 2001 to the library, that's too much for kids to learn"?

No. Because it's incredibly stupid.


Satire does not exist. Even if the OP didn't mean it, there is a large drove of supporters who genuinely believe it, for that is the nature of the human race.
First of all, yes, I would read that, because it's so crazy that it has to be read to be believed
Second of all, that's really stupid.
Satire DOES exist. You literally CAN'T deny that.
To try to deny it is just stupid.

I thought I finally had a chance to relax, then someone goes and makes me angry all over again.


I didn't need to beyond "ban all newcomers".

The very idea is just so ludicrous. If you can't handle a large number of situations and adapt on the fly to surprises or new elements, you have no business playing fighting games.

NO WONDER the long-stale snoozefest known as the Melee metagame is still somehow kicking...
It's a joke of the satire

He's making a imitation of Johnathan Swift's Modest Proposal, it's in the title. He means to take the arguments for banning customs at EVO and tries to debunk them by using those same argument to suggest banning new characters. It's 100% not legit just meant to disrespect the other arguments.

Huh...I realized just now you were moreso targeting MonK4's objections rather than the original satirical post. Apologies for the misunderstanding, carry on.

Rule #1 of humanity: "some ****face actually believes it. No exceptions."

A Modest Proposal nearly backfired horrendously as well. People actually were considering following it, remember.

I say we ban Smash altogether

Oh yeah, you're right about that... I still think it is clever and I 100% doubt that anyone is actually going to ban characters. (At least not anyone sane.)

Making good points, sir! :dr^_^:

Gee, thanks Diddy Kong.:4diddy: Now it's getting all intense up in here.

We need a happier topic than the inherent stupidity of the human race.
Like rainbows and sunshine and how I jumped the gun/shark and made a Smash 5 Roster already.:4sonic:

(wild card), (new character), (new character), (gen 8 Pokemon), (whatever Mario character gets me yelled at the least),
Isaac, Choir Boys and/or (new R H/P character), Dixie Kong, Pauline, Simon Belmont,
:wolf:,:popo:.

:4megaman:

I am personally offended by this flagrant, toxic abuse of moderator power to oppress differing viewpoints. Red Ryu is obviously pushing his agenda in spite of all the evidence that Thinkaman brought to the table of the Smash community. If this gets enough upopinions to spread the word, @Red Ryu will be removed from his unjustly privileged status as a moderator so he can no longer suppress real dissent from the 3x5 index card of pre-approved opinion like the neo-Stalin he is. thank you for your contribution
That thread is an excellent piece of satire. I was almost crying tears of joy.

'Sup people.
Still writing my stuff. I progressed the transcript of the trial a bit. Of course, I'll need to change some dialogues in it, but so far, the characters are themselves.

Anyway, who wants to battle on 3DS with custom moves ? I'm up for some.

Pretty sure that this isn't the first time someone in a Competitive Board has made a joke thread making the same proposal.

You guys gotta chill out.

No, I just thought I would post a little off topic.
Unless there is some actual Smash announcement or event, actual Smash discussions are rare.

Also, there is no such thing as off-topic here. Any and every topic is allowed (within the site rules, of course.)

I won't be watching EVO tournament Because melee is there. :troll:
But in all seriousness I don't know who is going to win and I don't care. I think none of my main will be there for I can learn new moves to up my game.

If you have a username in 4-player Smash for glory, always put Win before the name if you are victorious in the previous match and then watch the other three players bum rush you.

Very fun.

:4darkpit:
- Right-click an image.
- Click 'Copy Image'.
- Paste wherever you want.

If you have the image's link, enclose it within [img] [/img] tags.

Yaaaaaaaay. Now I can be just as crazy as the rest of you!:4wario:
Or would, if I had any communication skills. :urg:


*EDIT* May have to ask more about url image linking so everything I post isn't puny, tho. :4lucario:
*DOUBLE EDIT* Or maybe I just found a bad example. :urg:

Meanwhile, with Project M.

Okay, really nobody wants to play on 3DS ? That's sad.
