Copying the img link and doing a search by image I get someone called Angie Varona. No idea who that is, but according to an article that appeared she is a 14 year old that unwillingly became a internet sex symbol.

Thanks for sharing. I remember someone telling me her name but I forgot what it was. I just didn't look into it nor did I think she was 14.

14? Well, damn. Still stands the mistery for your signature (which irritates me for some reason btw).

Anyway, I guess no reveals this week? Was it ever this long between characters?

We have one more day before the pics go on break for the weekend.

I don't think that's our last shot at getting a character reveal this month, but I'm really, really going to keep my expectations low this month if we don't get a reveal by tomorrow or Monday. My expectations are already rather low as it is.

Because the goddess of nature is so much better
Viridi is just your typical angry, spoiled little tsundere loli ***** who thinks she's always right and tells herself that she runs everything when she really doesn't. Nothing even remotely likable about her.

If that's who you're talking about, anyway. XD

Anywho, the Daily Pic was neat. =D

So I'm pretty disappointed that YDevil's been almost nearly confirmed as a stage hazard. That's such a cool stage I'd love to see in tourneys, but alas.

I guess I'll just wait for the Smash Wii+ or Smash M mods to it or something. Sigh.

I'm fine with stage hazards if I'm currently up for a chaotic match.

It's not that uncommon that they can seriously screw me over though...

And I'll forever curse the Mario Bros. stage for having those powerful, throwable Shell Creepers and Sidesteppers.

It's much better, actually. She's far more likable than Viridi could ever hope to be.

Even if she herself is still a ***** in her own right at times. ¦D

Just because you don't like those traits doesn't mean other people don't/shouldn't.

How many of those "typical angry, spoiled little tsundere loli *****" have a plant army?

Besides, because of those traits she is about twice as funny as Palutena.

Lastly you forgot adorable.

Also, I'm fine with stage hazards. As someone who isn't competitive it doesn't bother me.

So, the Yellow Devil is a stage hazard. Who didn't see that coming? /sarcastic

At least it wasn't a Ridley update. :troll:

Actually, a lot of them do. Not even joking. Go look around. XD

And no, Viridi isn't funny or adorable. Just obnoxious and annoying.

Meanwhile, Palutena is totally passive-aggressive and manipulative. They both have issues.

Palutena just happens to be nicer and better looking, so she wins. ¦D

If Yellow Devil is a stage hazard, I expect some people to be butthurt about it.

I wonder if this will play whenever he's present...

I had thought today was going to be a veteran reveal....being a Thursday and the second week of December.

Guess you can't be prepared for what Sakurai is up to.

The picture today looks interesting, can we really say it's a stage hazard and not a boss fight though? It looks pretty boss like to me.

(Y'know I was expecting a veteran reveal as well.)

If it is a boss fight, I'm wondering how you would combat it. Or at least how the boss would move and fight. If its a stage hazard, I hope its not like the Chimera from New Pork (yeah, I play it sometimes).

I predict a veteran reveal sometime next week. Week before christmas it would be a gift from sakurai to us. Tomorrow will reveal something new but not a character.

People be popping at the gums about lovely Viridi. Fight me.
Angie Varona's story is the precise reason why I recoil at pornography in all its forms, you have no idea who you're hurting. These are women who, in all likelihood, have no one that loves them, fortunately for Angie she had her loving and understanding parents. To be treated as an object for the physical satisfaction of millions is a crime against the dignity of the human person, especially the more beautiful they are. Sir, I would ask you to change your avatar, but I can't control you.

Which is why I have the most excellent vintage Smashboards avatar in all the land, that classic Kirby icon. I ain't givin' no disrespect.

You guys are coming at Prince Komic hard and his sig, i see no issues with the avatar or the sig.

Also pornography, like it or not, is a legit business. I mean I can use that same argument against professional sport athletes, who get traded to teams like meat.
Because technically, they too are using their bodies for entertainment.

Everything in life comes with consequences, this chick did what she did and now she has to live with it. Sometimes life gives no second chances.

I hope that my words were not interpreted as an attack. I meant nothing to Komic besides asking to change it. Also, because you do not see any issues does not mean there are no issues, morality is not in the eye of the beholder, nor is it relative or subjective, but to that point I must admit that it is possible that I am wrong, though I have come across nothing that has ever been able to shake my faith in the matter, but it may be due to my lack of knowledge thus.

I also must admit that pornography is a business, as a student of the Austrian school of economics who reviles the state and all her regulations, wanting only the freedom of man, but being a Catholic I cannot call it legitimate on moral grounds. The whole of revealed revelation, the sanction of religion, and indeed all rational thought in accord with the principle of causation leads inevitably to the conclusion that pornography is an affront to the basic dignity, that is the natural and intrinsic worth, of the human person. To the effect of all three reason, I have yet to read BPJP2TG's Theology of the Body, which would no doubt shed light on the issue, but I have with me a particular source and the countless psychological studies that show it for the harm it truly does, both to watcher and performer: http://www.frc.org/ and a publication by Doctor Patrick F. Fagan, please check out the sources and discern for yourself if the research is valid: http://downloads.frc.org/EF/EF12D43.pdf

Life comes with consequences? How I agree, sir, cause and effect, 'tis simple and true, however, it is not life itself, but the unbreakable lighthouse of the moral law that we break ourselves against. Further, the crime of others is no justification for our crimes. Just as the man who 'snaps' and murders another who gets on his nerves is at supreme fault for his evil so too we cannot give in to the occasions of sin (known as scandal) that come about through the acts or accidents of others.

That's just your opinion. Personally I found Viridi to funny and cute. But I also found Palutena to be funny and cute. My fave KIU character is Viridi with Palutena and Hades coming in second.

Angie Varona's story is the precise reason why I recoil at pornography in all its forms, you have no idea who you're hurting. These are women who, in all likelihood, have no one that loves them, fortunately for Angie she had her loving and understanding parents.

Sir, I would ask you to change your avatar, but I can't control you.
I wouldn't call what happened to her pornography or reason to recoil from it. It happened against her will and she was never payed for it. From what I read of the article any and all nudes there are of her were photoshopped also. What happened to her is more like internet harassment then pornography.

I would say the real business pornography is more akin to Playboy. The models/pornography stars get paid for what they do and willingly become sex symbols. If they get into that business and regret they have no one else to blame then themselves. Angie Varona on the other hand has the luxury and validity to blame both herself (it was her who took pics in the first place) and the people who sexualized her (they did it against her will and all that).

I just don't find the 2 things comparable in all honesty. Now I'm not saying there aren't valid reasons to be against pornography, I just don't find Angie Varona's case to be the same as pornography.

Moral of the story: don't post pictures of yourself on the Internet and think twice before making a decision. I've known about countless cases like that.

And, indeed, both sides are to blame. She shouldn't have posted pictures of her on the net, neither other people had the right to sexualize her.

(And what has this got to do with Smash anyway?)

After skimming this page of this thread, I've come to an intelligent opinion: You people are ****ing wack as hell. I can't even grasp whatever it is you're talking about. Ydevil? Pornography? Viridi? Dafuq is going on?

/ydevil being a stage hazard sucks.

I just felt like you were faulting, Komic for being a fan of this chick, because of her unintended actions.
All I was saying is that it is all fair game, if its on the internet.

I'm Christian myself, I can understand where you are coming from with the whole morality angle.
But sometimes, I like to take myself out of that label and look at the issues if I wasn't.

To state my point again: Once something is on the internet its fair game (unless you have copyright ownership), the streets internet is ruthless homie.
I also must admit that pornography is a business, as a student of the Austrian school of economics who reviles the state and all her regulations, wanting only the freedom of man, but being a Catholic I cannot call it legitimate on moral grounds.

Again, I can still apply this to professional sports athletes. Hell most professions really.

Example A: Football (American) athletes in particular are prone to suffer from physical trauma to the body and brain. It also has various effects the viewer. I've seen people loose their temper, getting caught up in the moment, and do things they wouldn't normally do. Rabid sports fans have even in the past killed other people over the outcome of a game.

Example B: One of my neighbors suffers from depression, due to the working conditions of his job. He did something with computer science, and worked in cubical setting from 9 to 5. He also suffered from carpal tunnel.

Example C: I'm trying to get into the CGI movie business, I love to make 3D characters and enviorments. But this profession requires a lot of hours in front of the computer as well. That can over time strain my eyes and ultimately lead to me getting glasses or worse eye surgery. (Not as serious, as getting AIDs or loosing my mind, but an issue none the less)

These are just a couple examples of other professions where the employees can suffer from their line of work. Porn is no exception.
Life comes with consequences? How I agree, sir, cause and effect, 'tis simple and true, however, it is not life itself, but the unbreakable lighthouse of the moral law that we break ourselves against. Further, the crime of others is no justification for our crimes. Just as the man who 'snaps' and murders another who gets on his nerves is at supreme fault for his evil so too we cannot give in to the occasions of sin (known as scandal) that come about through the acts or accidents of others.
I can agree with that, but take it beyond mankind. What about the Cheetah that kills the 17 months old Zebra running with the herd for the first time? What about the male black widow spider that has to give up his life so that his mate can use his body for nourishment for their children? Life is cruel all over (But at the same time it can be a good place too. Don't want to sound too pessimistic LOL)
