I don't think that we've grown enough until we can start speculating about all-stars from any medium joining Smash.

Like, when are we getting Boss Baby? Where in the **** is Jimmy Neutron, Nintendo?

...Don't even get me started on Shrek.

Hugh sent Jimbo to the Shadow Realm.

There’s a lot I love about A Hat in Time and pretty high on that list is the music. I’ve beem listening to both soundtracks a lot the past week or two.

I know I’ve been talking a lot about my Paper Mario game ideas, but if I had the opportunity to hire an American composer to compose the soundtrack, it’d definitely be Pascal Michael Stiefel. Though Jake Kaufman and Tee Lopes are pretty high as well.

 

[TheMightyP]

You guys actually believed the Gordon Freeman leak, or at least gave it attention?


Did Terry bore you guys out THAT much lol?

This is the same game where we had Reimu and Katalina rumored.


At this point who even knows anymore.

I'm going to start a new journey soon.

I picked up Cowboy Bebop on DVD, I've never seen it.

For any of you guys who have watched it, how great of a time am I about to have.

[Knight Dude]

Glad to hear DMC3 is heading to the Switch soon. Only a few days after my Birthday too.

Can't wait to style on Demons some more. And get bodied by bosses. Mostly get bodied by bosses.

A REALLY great time!

It's more episodic in nature compared to most other anime, with the main connections to certain episodes coming from the backstories of the main characters, but the story that it tells is so great! The main cast and the jazzy soundtrack also add to the series' enjoyment!

It's my third favorite anime, so take that what you will.

 

[Shadowwolflink]

That is all.

Oh ****, I didn't realize the theme was that much of a groove! I'm so into this now.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I'm just here for the ride.

 

[Cosmic77]

The only somewhat believable rumor we've had since Terry's reveal is the Mii Costume leak.

Everything else has felt baseless, but since we have nothing else to discuss, of course we'll talk about them.

 

[Raxxel]

Wait **** Raxxel's here.

Raxxel your favourite malnourished twink is dubbed

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Oh my god you remembered that Narancia is my favorite malnourished tw- ahem, Passione member. Anyway, I would have expected a higher pitched voice but I like it still, can't wait to hear him against Formaggio.

Katalina had to be the fakest **** ever and yet the thread ate it up for like 2 weeks, so I guess the Gordon Freeman stuff isn't surprising.

Same here. =)

Come on now, we all know Jimmy's not happening. Can't you imagine the how bad the sodium chloride levels in the community would get if that happened?

 

[Shadowwolflink]

Also, I just wanted to give my opinion of Hat in Time Switch.

I bought it on Switch and played through the main story (I hadn't played it on any other platform) and I did have a little bit of slowdown here and there, and it has some loading screens that are a little on the long side, but with that said it was still an excellent experience and I would definitely recommend it.

I also plan to get Untitled Goose Game soon too though.

[Knight Dude]

Can you butcher a character that has none to begin with? Like, I’ve played all 5 games start to end. And I can’t remember a single time where Dante even changed facial expressions. No matter the situation, no matter the enemy, it’s always just “smile, laugh, spout catchphrase”. And he doesn’t have the backstory or in game narrative to justify it like Kratos and Bayonetta do. He never does anything for any reason other than money or still having a planet to live on. The stories are barely ever even about him, they just kind of happen around him. He has no character. He barely has a personality, and he certainly has no character.

DmC has an arc. He has quieter moments that show a depth to him. The story is unquestionably his. It’s just.... better. I’m my opinion at least.

You literally didn't pay attention to either DMC1 or DMC3. Dante's arc in DMC3 is a good example of his character. He hates his demon side and his father due to his mom dying. He's only able to surpass Vergil, who idealizes his father and demon side, by accepting his demonic half. However, unlike his brother, Dante doesn't throw away his humanity or see it as a weakness. The family drama's mirrored by Lady and her Dad. And when he sees this, and how she's taking responsibilty for her family's actions, Dante outright tells her "I know what's really important." So he goes from not caring and just wanting to have fun, to honestly wanting to save his brother from himself. By accepting both halves of himself, he reaches his true power. How is his mom dying and his brother being corrupt not on the same level as Bayo and Kratos?

I would honestly argue Dante's a decidedly deeper character than both. Bayo's basically just Dante, but less games to flesh out the character. So how you see value in her and not him is particularly confusing.

We’ve had this discussion before. And everyone always points to things I just didn’t experience in the games. Sometimes they even describe whole scenes I don’t even remember. Do they like, cut out story sequences if you play on easy or something?

Like, I’m not dunking on classic Dante just to make my favorite better. I legitimately, somehow, have not experienced whatever is in these games to make his character interesting or to show you his backstory, despite playing every game in the series beginning to end (except 3 because it’s bull**** hard and I couldn’t beat the final Vergil fight). And I want to know why that is. (And if the answer to that is I need to read mobilizations or manga or watch anime then that doesn’t really fix the problem. Imo, you should be able to experience a games story in the actual game.)

Most cutscenes show you this. Just watch the compilations on Youtube or something. Scenes like him trusting Nero with the Yamato, and even the cheesy "Fill Your Dark Soul With LiiiiIIIIGHT" Kind of show the type of guy Dante really is.

3, 2, 1, let's jam.

...

It's an amazing anime with extremely interesting characters, stellar art and animation, and a god damn fantastic soundtrack. Definitely a top 3 anime in my eyes.

 

[Guynamednelson]

That's what he said. Sodium chloride.

Okay Mr. Magic Man, I bet he didn't say "Big McThankies from McSpanky's" to the customers!

 

[Wademan94]

Someone please help me. I love this song way too much.

Skeet:Ah, dude... that would be salt. If you don't know what salt is, maybe mop duty's too complicated for ya! What size are you - small?

"Smash speculation isn't strange"

*This game had had fake leaks including Half Life, Touhou and Granblue Fantasy*


Smash is one hell of a drug

I heard some people really dapping up the Half-Life one. But I kind of doubt that one. I think it was just thrown in because of Half-Life getting a new game in who knows how long. If it happens, it happens, but I'm skeptical.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Come on now, we all know Jimmy's not happening. Can't you imagine the how bad the sodium chloride levels in the community would get if that happened?

Not to mention that his head would be way too big for Smash. Resizing it would look way too awkward.

 

[Guynamednelson]

*the game had a fake leak involving the grinch* real ****

A fake leak involving the Grinch that used footage from a Wendy's ad to try and prove it's real.

 

[Knight Dude]

Katalina had to be the fakest **** ever and yet the thread ate it up for like 2 weeks, so I guess the Gordon Freeman stuff isn't surprising.

It was a weird time. I thought the character would've been lame, but I tried to be nice to the people that were feeling the vibes. Some people got immediately attached tho. Now the same thing's happening with the Half-Life stuff. And again, I'm pretty meh on it.

But if Hayabusa returns from his grave to Izuna Drop the leakers, WE MOVE!

With Bayonetta, I guess it’s because we not only see but a actually play through the events of her origin, and she has the constant companionship of Cereza/Loki to bring out her other character traits. Dante is just always showboating on his own and his origins (and most of his development) is told rather then shown. I want to see his origin and what he did during it. I want to see more of his relationship with other characters. I want to see him exhibit some emotional range in the moment. I want to see him get mad or scared. I want the games story to happen to him rather then happening around him. In 4 and 5 it honestly felt more like Nero and V’s story, and I got way more range out of them then Dante. 1 and 3 are honestly the biggest offenders in my eye along with 2. I WAS paying attention. And I never got any of what you were telling me was there beyond the actual plot events. The only Dante I experienced was a badass plank of wood.

 

[DerpingPikachu]

Oh heck my movies gonna start, sorry to rush off, I’ll come back in a couple hours.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I just saw a Shadow Realm joke.

I'm working on 5D's. The dub skipped a lot of stuff as is. So Hulu threw in the subs for some of the missing episodes. For instance, when Jack got his Red Nova Dragon.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Alrighty, - Zero Reqiuem -'s ama is now up!

Sorry the late posting. Some last minute changes regarding the subject occurred, then I had to work my job.

I usually try to get em up around noon est, though assuming it's usually pretty bustling here in the evenings, maybe I should consider making this the norm, idk

 

[TheCJBrine]

[Hadokeyblade]

I'm reminded of the days leading up to Clouds reveal back in the Smash 4 days, where the community was pretty much in the dark.

 

[Mamboo07]

What a pleasant time of the Earth's rotation on its axis also known as day, biological organism which is descendant of the great apes as am I. I am genuinely interested in listening to you discuss your current feelings and emotions, as well as what you wish to accomplish during this day?

Where did that Half-Life stuff even come from? I never exactly caught up on it, was it due to the announcement of the new game?

 

[TheCJBrine]

It was a combination of speculation caused by the new game and, mostly, a “leaker” piggybacking off of past Half-Life leaks, said “leaker” just trying to bait PapaGenos.
