Having picked Golden Deer, I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised by Lorenz so far. His B support with Marianne is actually pretty nice considering his pompous first impression.

In terms of gameplay, it's easily Hilda. She plays herself off as a weak little girl, but then proceeds to laugh off enemy attacks and then smash their faces in twice over while cheering 'Hilda! Hilda!' Definitely going to make her a Wyvern Lord so that she can be the second coming of Jill.

However, since Geno's Mii costume didn't return, it'll be decisive if and when Geno's announced as a character. Not being a character and not even a Mii Fighter costume? Yikes.
Geno's costume was probably cut, and I don't think it's because he's playable.

You can't argue, "Geno's Spirit being in the base game doesn't mean anything because the DLC was decided later," but then turn around and say, "The costume is missing! He's in!"

When you need to cut either videoediting or Three Houses so you can sleep, and naturally you cut sleep.

EDIT: This site apparently doesn't want me to post a picture of Zechs's mask breaking.
I tried to defeat the beast, but it look it got a 2% critic on me, so now, I got to play more Three Houses.

Blue Lion here I come.

Really wish we had a car. Especially now that I’m learning to drive.

We used to have a car but rats destroyed it
Did they get up in the engine when it was cold?

I had to pay like $300 to fix mine when a mouse did that.

Yeeeeeeeeeah I put like five months of effort into recruiting her before I realized she's one of the unrecruitable ones.

I hate that I'm gonna have to wait until my third playthrough to get her.

Stingy Square is kinda of a played out fan excuse though. In this case? It's not even a Square thing that would cause Hero's Final Smash to look like this.

Square isn't stingy. It's just they really really allow their artists to have full control over the music and characters they create for their hit series. It's more of a ''Sakurai has twice the workload reaching out to all the people involved in a Square project." thing than ''Square is an evil stingy company" thing.
Based on Tansut's comments, Cloud was an expensive character to get into Smash and Square is the one who dropped the ball on no female hero alts. Sakurai's comment also implies it wasn't trivial to allow for the four Heroes to fight each other. So I'd say it's both that Square lets their creators have a lot of control of their IPs... and that they're stingy.

Square be like,
“Oh sure we’ll def let four Heroes from the series fight each other, but you must use the FMV we made for Hero’s FS”
>FMV looks like something from the PS2 era

this pleases me

As a Blue Lion guy, Sylvain is the character that surprised me the most. I thought he'd just be comic relief and his only character trait would be "he's a womanizer lul" but he's actually got a lot of depth to him. I've been enjoying his supports a lot, especially with Ingrid and Felix.

Cloud SHOULD be an expensive character though. That's not stingy. That's like asking Nintendo to loan out Link or Mario for cheap. He's the most iconic hero of the Final Fantasy series. Of course he's gonna cost a lot of money.

As for heroes fighting each other? It's okay for them to be protective of their IPs too. Some people just don't want their heroic characters beating the crap out of one another and that's okay. That's why Dissida is a FF brawler now and not a Kingdom Hearts one because of Disney. There was nothing wrong there.

The outcome was just nicer here. They ultimately said ''Yeah, sure."

The female alts thing though? Eh.

I don’t get why people would think square would give them issues over Geno.

They got access to his costume and to use beware the forests mushrooms to announce it in 4,

And in this game, we have spirits of mallow and Geno, as well as a Geno online icon.

Both of those would need rights negotiated beforehand. So if they could do it for spirits and the icon, and if square would let he borrow music for the mii costume announcement, then I don’t think they would object to making Geno playable or even to bring his costume back if Sakurai wanted.

It’s just a matter of how does Nintendo/Sakurai think Geno should be handled going forth imo

Whoa. Glad to hear she's fine.

But Jesus Christ what's with all these shootings lately? What are these people trying to prove by taking innocent lives? Will they ever stop?

I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing that Square's treatment of their main franchises is not indicative of how they would treat Geno. If I were to guess, I would say the costume was likely cut--but that's why I said yikes. I feel bad for the Geno fans, in that case.

That's what it did to mine. It climbed into the engine during winter when I wasn't driving it and chewed through a bunch of wiring on its way in. Then when I had it towed to the shop they showed me the dead mouse they found inside.

I can't hide my rage over the state of gun control in this country.

I'm glad your mom is okay. Give her a huge hug when she gets home.

There’s a lot of things we need fixed and that’s definitely one of them. Things like this should not happen. For a lack of better words, it’s disgusting.
What angers me is that the very idea of "let's put limits on guns so mass shootings don't happen" is a ****ing political debate.

It's like debating the pros and cons of getting surgery after your appendix has already burst.

The issue isn't really as black and white as a lot of people tend to make it out to be. Both sides of the aisle make some pretty compelling points.

Pro-gun supporters would argue that the only people who would really follow the new laws are the law-abiding citizens, AKA the people who want to protect themselves from shootings like these.

There’s a lot to unpack about this and things to consider when talking about gun control, it’s not that simple of an issue to fix, especially when there’s so many guns in our ecosystem already.

I believe gun violence is a major problem but so far there hasn’t been any proposed form of control that I think would work.

I’m not gonna get into a debate but I will say this, gun control is heavily dealt with in a nation like japan.

They have routine checks and make sure everyone’s weapons are accounted(at least from my research for essays in school, but that was some time ago.)

They barely have gun related crimes whatsoever, instead it’s knife attacks. Which those are a lot easier to avoid and deal with should such a scenario arise where you are fighting someone with one.

Gun control can absolutely be a thing while still giving those that want it remain the same what they want. We could easily find compromise between if politicians truly tried and looked at things from all angles.

Buts that all I’m gonna really say.
