I didn't eat any. I did eat ice cream before bed though, which tasted grate. Maybe ice cream might have been the source of my cheesy horror movie-like dreams?

Probably. Here's what I found out:

"A bowl of ice cream might be the most comforting bad-breakup bed accompaniment, but there's a limit to its soothing properties.
For starters, ice cream is loaded with fat, so you’re not going to give your body a chance to burn any of it before bed, and then all of the sugar is going to pump your body full of energy right before you hit the hay, so you’ll be sending your body divergent messages. On top of that, the sugar just gets stored and turned to fat, too, so this is a lose-lose situation all around.
It’s also been discovered that eating high-sugar foods before bed causes nightmares, so while the taste might be calming, the results are unnerving."

I guess it also explains why I can't even remember the last time I had a nightmare. Most of the time, I'll have an apple or some grapes and maybe a bottle of water right before I go to bed. Pretty interesting, huh?

I use Fox, so while SH u-airs could be convenient, they aren't necessary for the way I play him. It's going to be a lot more useful for Mewtwo and could be better for Pit.

As long as you're comfortable. I still play with tap jump on in all other Smash Bros. games because that's what I'm most comfortable with, even though my recovery with Yoshi is less flexible when I play Brawl and Smash Flash 2. SSB3DS is the only game I've been able to adjust to so far with tap jump off.

Oh, uh, wow. I'm going to have to share this with my family.

Ice Cream is a morning food, I guess. Learn something new every day.

I was making a pun but I can't believe that ice cream might have really been the source of it. I guess you learn something new everyday, haha~ (I actually did have ice cream before bed... and soda... so I guess it explains this)

@ U-Throw Since you know a lot about dreams and food, what kind of food causes lucid dreams?

 

[U-Throw]

@ U-Throw Since you know a lot about dreams and food, what kind of food causes lucid dreams?

I'm not really sure. From what I understand, dreams are pretty much your brain summarizing your day. Typically, what you dream about reflects what you did or thought about during the day, with a few exceptions. Consuming things like ice cream and soda would definitely increase the lucidity of your dreams, but all of the sugar that hypes up your brain and gives you lucid dreams also increases your chance of nightmares, which are usually lucid by definition. So, while most of the foods I'm about to list will increase your chance of lucid dreams, it's also worth mentioning that this is a two-sided coin. By eating the foods, you're also heightening your chances of having nightmares, and it's kind of unavoidable because of the way the brain works. Anyway, you can have:

Spoiler

-Chicken
-Soy beans
-Turkey
-Tuna
-Venison
-Lamb
-Salmon
-Halibut
-Shrimp
-Cod
-Kidney beans
-Pumpkin seeds
-Tofu
-Cheese
-Soy sauce

Basically, lots of meat and beans will do the trick, as will high-sugar foods. But, like I said before, it's a double-edged sword. Also, I'm not an expert on dreaming or the brain by any stretch of the imagination, so I could be wrong. I'm quite certain that all of this is correct, but there's always the possibility that it's not.

 

[Superior Spider-Mew]

Cheese helps sleep easier and I read somewhere there's a specific way to sleep to get lucid dreams. Like you have to be laying on your back and stuff I dont know, I'm no expert on lucid dreams. Sleeping on the other hand is a different story, I have to force myself to get out of bed otherwise I'll just sleep all day and thats only if I was able to fall asleep in the first place. A good chunk of the time I'm just laying there in the dark with anxiety lol

They can make anywhere from $20 to a couple hundred American dollars per hour of work. I don't know how much Pit's, Palutena's, and Viridi's voice actors would make, but I would imagine that it's at least a little higher than $20. Not only can the voice actors probably charge more because Nintendo has so much money, but if Nintendo specifically chose them, then they most likely aren't terribly cheap. I don't really know the exact amount, but the point is that, odds are, it's not cheap.
Plus, that's excluding the price of renting a recording studio. Recording studios cost anywhere from $30-$300 an hour or higher, depending on the quality of the studio. I'd imagine that a recording studio to fit Nintendo's standards would cost substantially more than $30, possibly into the hundreds, maybe into the two hundreds. Then, there's the potential for travelling costs, assuming someone from Nintendo is going out to meet with the voice actor and record with them.
All of the above considered, I'd estimate that it probably costs over $500 per DLC character Guidance, possibly more. Adding all of that to the cost of developing the characters themselves, it's probably quite a bit of cash. I'd imagine that Sakurai and the devs would want to make the price of developing a DLC character as little as possible, and cutting out over $500 dollars per character saves a lot of money, especially in the long run. I think it's perfectly understandable to record a generic conversation for a relatively small amount of money, rather than paying an excess of $500 for a 3-8 line conversation. Besides, like I said before, the important thing is that we're getting Mewtwo. There's not really a point in getting upset over something as insignificant as a Guidance. We should all just be happy that Mewtwo's even coming at all!

OMG I HAD A NIGHTMARE EARLIER TODAY AFTER EATING A DONUT
All of my nightmares are lame too. They arent even scary looking back but I got afraid anyways

 

[SuperNintendoKid]

The lamest nightmare I had went like this:

I was sleeping in my bed (in my dream), and in the guest room in the house (which is next to my room) some dude was sleeping there, snoring like crazy. So I went outside to my school in the middle of the night and decided to sleep in one of the portables there (I still don't know why). Once I slept there for like 6 minutes I woke up (still in my dream) and realized "wait no one knows that i'm here, what if I sleep too much and miss school, AAAHHH!"

then I actually woke up at 4:00 PST wondering why I was so scared of missing school in my dream.

this was 8 days before Mewtwo would be released.

I don't have dreams often, but the dreams I do have are weird. Like one time, I dreamed that I was a Zebra centaur.

 

[BugCatcherWill]

By far the weirdest dream I had was that I was in an elevator with Forrest Gump, Edward Scissorhands and Harry Potter. The elevator door opened up to nothing, Forrest walked out, and accidentally grabbed Harry Potter while falling, who then grabbed Edward Scissorhands. I saw them hit the I-beams in the Elevator shaft.

I ran up to my mom and said "Mom! Forrest Gump, Harry Potter, and Edward Scissorhands just fell down the elevator!!"

She looks at me with a weird stare, asks "Will, are you on drugs?" Then I woke up.

The dreams you remember you mean. Everyone goes in REM sleep (and other types of sleep), meaning you do dream. It's just that most of the time you don't remember.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I forget a lot of my better dreams. Plus even awake, my memory is pretty bad.

Well, it's justified to an extent.

We are desperate for Mewtwo.

I always wear shorts, even in winter!

...No, seriously, I actually do.
I can't stand wearing anything but basketball shorts. They're so comfy, unlike the those stiff blue jeans everyone seems to love to wear.

I just woke up from a nap. In my dreams I was playing DKC. I consider it one of the best games I played in my dreams. It was fun... but wait. I haven't even finished a single DKC game yet. It's telling me something...

That was one dream. Today's nap contained not one, but two dreams! (and you guys talked about dreams while I was away... what a coincidence). The second dream was me and Gary (from Pokemon) messing around in an elevator. He got stuck in one and I had to call for help. The rest I forgot, but I remember later on in the dream I had an epic Pokemon showdown with Gary. It got pretty personal too, Gary was extremely sad and angry for some reasons.

Overall some pretty pleasant dreams. I woke up to a guy outside having a conversation with his girlfriend pretty loudly. He was lecturing her about something I think and he called her "princess".

I had a dream two nights ago that Mewtwo's voice was female unless you played as his orange coloration.
We were all pretty salty.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Oh, right, we're talking about dreams, huh? Alright, I'll share.

I've had a couple dreams before about playing my 3DS catching a shiny. I woke up from both excited, then I realized it didn't actually happen and I got disappointed. One of them was a shiny Sigilypth and the other was as shiny...uh, I can't remember.

Now here's a more interesting dream that I still remember surprising well. It was a nightmare. In it, I with a group of Native Americans from the Great Plains, and we were running from something. I don't know what it was; but we couldn't stay in one place for very long.

And then, every so often, there'd be a loud noise. It sounded like a fleet of airplanes flying close to the ground, and it'd keep getting louder and louder. Then a blinding light would illuminate the sky, and everything became entirely white. When you could see again, anyone who wasn't standing under a roof was gone.

We traveled through a wheat field, where we found an old abandoned house. At around that time, we heard the noises again, so we went inside and went up to the second floor. We thought we were safe, but in actuality, there was a large hole in the roof, and most of us were caught in the light.

There were only a few of us left. Then, whatever was chasing caught up. We heard pounding on the doors. I jumped out the window before they got in, but the last few people I was with didn't manage to escape with me. I ran through the wheat field, and then I heard the noise again, and I came across a farm. I ran under it's porch, where a farmer one a rocking chair was sitting.

...Then I woke up. I was excited, but I somehow wasn't scared or anxious one bit.

You live in Arizona m8. There is no winter in Arizona.

There is a winter here. It just exist at 6:00 - 8:00 in the morning.
...Or it could last all day, depending on if there's wind or a snow storm up north not.

Yeeaaah...You see, I'm used to -10 degree winters. High of 5 if we're lucky.
And it lasts for three months at least.

EDIT: That's a bit of an exaggeration...5 is more like the average, 10 or 11's a bit warmer. -10 is a cold stint.
But 20 degrees is unheard of until February/March.

Well, it feels way colder if you're used to the heat.

What may be cold to me is warm for you.
What is cold for you is entirely uninhabitable to me.

5 Days Left till Mewtwo's Return...

 

[SuperNintendoKid]

He was lecturing her about something I think and he called her "princess".

are you sure it wasn't this guy?

 

[Spirst]

As 7 became 6. Now 6 becomes 5. And so...

5 DAYS REMAIN

Then we all lock ourselves in our rooms and disappear from the outside world.

 

[1DeadRabbit]

*sigh*...I never said it was. I make myself into a nice little Lucario blanket burrito for most of that time.

And I did used to live in Arizona for a little while there, actually, so I know how it is.

Weeeeeeeeee Mewtwo is SO CLOSE!!! ;u;
