Someone actually thought I was in my 20's. Never thought that would happen.

pretty sure you said you were

unless my memory bank is lying to me

 

[Deleted member]

I mean, that sounds pretty odd that they just smacked a UFO out of the sky with a slingshot or some crap but ok.

Eh, I'm 13. No sense in worrying about it.

No back to modeling a stupid bear.

I hope the three guys weird enough to actually go to Area 51 on September 20th don’t die

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

You are probably thinking about someone else. I never said that.

September 20th

Is anyone questioning how this date gives the government months to prepare for any increase in the number of visitors to Area 51?

The UFOs crashed, everyone knows aliens can't drive

its why they're taking so long to implement alien technology into the military, its all broken and they don't know how to fix it

We go at night because the government will be sleeping.

They’ll never be prepared for the Naruto runners and the Kyles after entering Monster energy mode

I have no idea how Nintendo could possibly benefit from adding any 1st Party at this point

Easy. To use all the new eyeballs they're getting from the Fighters Pass to promote a new game or a franchise returning.

They don't have to be huge sellers like the 3rd parties. I mean the 3rd parties already in are doing a good enough job at that. Any 1st party in just needs to have a unique moveset to keep players who purchased the FP satisfied.

Gonna be totally honest, I can't tell if your teasing me or not. LOL

I'm not informed on this sort of thing, my apologies.

All they need is one.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Mark my words, if that (frankly insane) tiny group people manages to get into Area 51, they'll find the real Gordon Freeman hidden in it's depths, stored and kept alive and youthful in cryogenic slumber. The government is keeping him for when a aliens invade the Earth, at which point they'll release and equip him with a Gravity Gun and a Crowbar so he can take the threat out single-handley. They may even save him up an actual Resonance Cascade happens.

Gordon Freeman is stored in Area 51. Mark. My. Words.

The way you formatted the post made me unable to quote it, sadly.

It should be noted Alm uses a sword first and foremost, and the bow is his secondary weapon. Celica and Eliwood wouldn't really work as Robin and Roy echoes, respectively. Celica's magic style is totally different from Robin's and so is her swordplay. She's also much faster and doesn't even use tomes to cast spells. Eliwood wouldn't really work as a Roy echo due to the sheer size of his sword. Durandal is basically the size of the Buster Sword, if not bigger.

As for Byleth, a Pokémon Trainer styled selection really wouldn't work, mainly because you can only side with one house and you're unable to recruit the other house leaders. If I forgot anything you asked, just refresh my memory.

you really are willing to die on this advance wars hill, aren't you

Well I live in the same state. How hard can it be?

 

[Will]

oh yeah fire emblem swords. so what even is the deal with "no, we can only wield falchioin, it's our sword, no one else can use it" if no one else has even remotely tried to use it to see what would happen if they did

like what, is it gonna suck their soul out or something

nah, I'm just teasing

it wouldn't make sense for the government to be containing all those aliens anyways considering they themselves are aliens

 

[Ura]

Well I mean I believe there's a small chance for Advance Wars DLC but I was speaking to the general philosophy behind a 1st party in the Fighter's Pass. The rationale for it isn't their name value but rather what they can promote and how unique their moveset can be, what they bring to the table.

But yeah, out of all 1st parties I can only see AW or Astral Chain being the options. Might be too late for AC (aside from a Mii Costume) but AW still has a plethora of Spirits to use for the DLC Spirit Board and didn't get a Mii Costume in the base game (unlike Sin & Punishment, Custom Robo, Panel de Pon, Chibi-Robo, etc.). Series with new music like Rhythm Heaven/Style Savvy are out of the running and the situation with Golden Sun & ARMS is obvious. Whether intentional or unintentional, things are set up in a way that the series could plausibly be made DLC.

I'm not gonna piss all over your hopes and dreams, so... I'll just say I disagree that it's in the running and leave it at that.

Would he like...self-narrate himself while slaughtering the aliens? Otherwise, I fail to see the rationale.

Fair enough. I can see why some would be pessimistic for AW's prospects. Just wanted to throw out my rationale as to how the series still has a chance.

If you ask me, first-parties that already have music aren't out of the running, assuming 1st-parties will get in.

They could still bring in new tracks, i.e. "Porky Means Business!" along with a new stage.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Gordon Freeman needs nothing more than a crowbar and a handful of modern and/or advanced weapons in order to defeat an alien armada.

The Vortigaunts don't call him "The Freeman" for nothing.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Am I the only one who doesn't like leaks? They really just spoil things, and really, it's incredibly difficult to the people working on the game. They are trying to deliver something fun. I think leakers should respect that.

For me, it's a case-by-case basis. I like the Galar leak cause it tells a bunch of info I don't feel like waiting to find out. But I'm less fond of leaks that spoil more suspenseful things, like Smash reveals.

 

[Opossum]

Oftentimes they're tied to bloodlines. Lucina says in one of her supports that if someone outside her bloodline attempted to wield Falchion, the blade would be dull as stone. In Shadows of Valentia, only Alm is able to wield the Royal Sword and when Tobin tries, he's unable to even lift it.

It's basically Sword in the Stone/Mjolnir logic. Only some are worthy.

I think if something like Rhythm Heaven or Style Savvy were to be DLC, they wouldn't have gotten new music in the base game. Not to mention all their bases are covered Spirit-wise (with Advance Wars, there's so many glaring omissions like Max, Sami, Nell, anyone from Days of Ruin).

Porky (or anyone else from an established series) could be DLC but I imagine it would be outside the Fighters Pass. It would be a deal like Corrin where it's the character and 1 or 2 new music tracks.

Nah. You covered everything. Sucks too. I wanted to try to give Fire Emblem some more appropriate representation, but there's no way to do that without just going overboard.

It's all because it has so many damn characters! I'll never understand the reasoning why games like Final Fantasy and Fire Emblem just abandon a world after one game. Plus it makes crossovers like this so damn difficult.

It's generally because the games mostly tell complete stories, wherein the endings offer a sense of closure. Like by the end of Mystery of the Emblem Marth has already permanently killed Gharnef and Medeus, and then became the ruler of the entire Archanean continent. There was nowhere else for his story to go.

That and the series tries to keep some level of realism. Like yeah, dragons and magic exist, but that comes with the territory of a fantasy story. The same group of soldiers fighting nine consecutive wars is much less believable.

Legendary Spirit Tamer -> Chinderblock -> Ahm Skittish!

Goodbye words that resemble English!

I kid, why the name change though?

 

[Noipoi]

The only first party you’re getting is Toxapex

Bringing the stall meta to Smash, baybee.

 

[Wademan94]

Celica's magic style is totally different from Robin's and so is her swordplay. She's also much faster and doesn't even use tomes to cast spells.

So if she were to make it into Smash, it sounds she’d be more her own fighter/semi-clone of Robin at least with most of their specials (without the tomes and limited use) like Luigi or Falco?

That actually has to be the most obscure Pokemon in existence, and I applaud you for being so bold.

Was originally for Pride Month. But I still like having a Skitty form.

I mean, being part-animal is just something I'm used to due to various(Safe for work) roleplays I've been in for ages, so... it works.

I've had tons of other names. I need to write them all down...

I like it personally. I mean yeah there's the surprise value for when something not talked about gets revealed but sometimes it's nice to know in advance. The thought of a character being talked about by insiders allows me to picture in my head how they'll play and then getting to see their actual moveset is pretty cool.

 

[Wyoming]

As for leaks: honestly don't mind them. The surprise factor is nice, but they should have revealed who is on the pass by now anyway. FighterZ did it in like two months!

 

[Wademan94]

That would probably be the most unique character in terms of its proportions.

>not using the falchion as a giant paddle

i see no problem here
