Super Smash Bros 4 (Wii U/3DS) Topic

[Starphoenix]

I'll be happy

Surprisingly, out of all of the potential marriages in the game, her's with Robin is probably the sweetest. Strange, but true. Although anything with Henry is a trip. My favorite FE character, bar none.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I didn't like Tharja, I never used her and though I set her up with what I thought would result in the best possible kid I never used her mate or child either

Edit:

Now look at her outfit. I call THAT good design.

Lissa was my favorite designed character in the game

 

[Starphoenix]

Btw, having now finished Awakening I can say for certain these are my top five tracks from the game.

1. Fire Emblem: Awakening - Id ~ Purpose [this song gave me so many feels on that final map. My word.]
2. Fire Emblem: Awakening - Don't Speak Her Name!
3. Fire Emblem: Awakening - Conquest
4. Fire Emblem: Awakening - Duty
5. Fire Emblem: Awakening - Old Battlefield

Honorable Mention. Fire Emblem: Awakening - Destiny [sounds slightly similar to the new main theme for Super Smash Bros 3DS/Wii U in places.]

 

[Fatmanonice]

I saw Frozen, and while I did like a lot of things about it, I don't think it was better than Tangled

and I found the character of Olaf irritating and useless to the story

I thought the same of him right up to the end. It's obvious that he was a character made to sell plushes but he had one moment of charm at the climax. The scene that irritated me almost to the point of wanting to walk out of theater though was the Troll song. It was completely pointless and made utterly hate the fact the trolls were in the movie to begin with.

yeah, either their roles should have been minimized, maybe only at the beginning, or expanded. Because they seemed pointless

 

[FalKoopa]

Yeah, the trolls were kind of unnecessary to the story. The way the "Duke of Southern Isles" (what was his name again?) abruptly became evil after showing no hints of malice initially made it seem as if it was forced.

But we gotta show them that love at first sight isn't all it's cracked up to be!

Never thought Disney would do that.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I had to go pee right before the prince turned evil, and I came back right as he was finishing telling his evil plan to Anna, so I was extra confused.

But I had a feeling he was going to end up evil anyway

 

[Fatmanonice]

It's called character suicide. It's an act of bad writing when you want your audience to immediately hate one character to overwhelmingly favor another or avoid having a character make a hard decision involving them. Yeah, I thought this was eye rollingly bad myself but overall I thought Frozen was a decent movie though, I will admit, it would have been significantly better if Anna and Elsa had just been combined into one character because Elsa was significantly more interesting.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I thought the movie did a relatively nice job of making you like one character better without having to hate the other up until that point.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Gee, it sure is SMASH BROS. here...

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Huh. I actually didn't know it was called a strong side attack. Learn something new every day. Well, that's one less move the Phantom(from ST) could theoretically be, if it's not an AT.

 

[YoshiandToad]

Yeah, the trolls were kind of unnecessary to the story. The way the "Duke of Southern Isles" (what was his name again?) abruptly became evil after showing no hints of malice initially made it seem as if it was forced.

That god damn Troll song is by far the worst part about the film. Did they need to fill time or something?

Some spoiler stuff just in case regarding FROZEN's villain:

Spoiler

Really? I thought he was pretty damn shady from the start. Frozen seemed to be taking a more realistic feel with romance this time with both Elsa and Kristoff commenting how weird it was that Anna was trying to marry Hanz(that was his name btw).

Although to be fair Disney's parodied it's "We just met, let's get married!" storyline before in Enchanted which might of been a factor for why I was suspicious.

Ironically the moment I stopped suspecting Hanz was secretly up to no good is when he did the reveal.
Cunning ******* saved Elsa from being crossbowed in the face to throw me off his scent. Well played Hanz, well played.

MEANWHILE IN SMASH BROS;

It's nice to see Zelda getting a slight overhaul even if it turns out to be only aesthetically to her moves. The attack looks a lot more powerful this time round.

Can't wait to see what else they've altered with her attacks...and no, I don't just mean regarding Sheik or maaaybe Phantom Zelda.

That cunning asswipe looked up before "saving" Elsa. Watch closely.

So, this has probably already been brought up, but apparently Nintendo has to pay royalties for every 3DS to some bozo who copyrighted 3D camera capture AR card technology or something like that. (1.82% of wholesale price)
This is why I foxtrotting hate copyright law, and not only this but Japan taxes everyone a lot, 40% corporate tax not including any of the other junk they have to pay.
It's sad that the Japanese culture teaches every Kindergartner kyoiku (education), kinro (labor), and nouzei (taxes), otherwise the source of their current woes would be quite obvious, their reckless inflationary monetary policy and incredibly high taxes. The culture prevents them from drawing this conclusion, they'd view this explanation as too simple minded, surely the reason is more complex?
Japanese society is having higher and higher instances of insanity, suicide, the like, and recently developed the phenomena of requiring a dual income to support a family, obviously against the traditional familial elements of the Japanese family unit.
This couldn't come at a better time, the Mises institute released two articles by professors about this very topic (one about Japan and the other about Intellectual Property). Fate wanted me to be well-equipped to rage against this menace.

I fear for Nintendo. Well, I fear for all of us, but Nintendo is in truly dire straits with this. If anything brings them under, it won't be their lack of games on the Wii U, it'll be the massive interventionism they face.
Interventionism is the mechanism by which the jealous are appeased in their destruction of capital and the well-being of others through taxation, inflation, and malinvestment.
40% + all the other taxes. I dare you to tell me that things wouldn't be cheaper and better without such an incredibly high rate.

Edit: add insult to injury, it was a federal judge. . . and I stole this from one of the various news articles I was looking at on the topic (Covarr's Polygon user comment): "To be specific, Tomita’s patent is for using cameras to determine the player’s position relative to the display, to determine the correct image to maintain a 3D illusion. The 3DS, on the other hand, assumes a specific position. It does have a 3D rear camera, but that can’t determine the user’s position. They are, in other words, totally different things." Yep, Tomita's a class-A scammer. The abuse of this system highlights its broken nature.

 

[Vintage Creep]

To be honest I think they get lik 1 dollar for every 3DS sold. It's a big blow but nothing fear worthy LOL

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

One thing to note is that although the Judge did go to the side of patents, he also severely lowered the price.

And yeah, patent trolling is really freakin' annoying. I would've been less annoyed if they had to use a Jury to decide it, and the Judge simply lowered the price because it was way too high.

This combined with everything else makes me mad, at least. I fear if not for the accumulated effects but for the future. Also you should totally read Human Action by Mises because reasons.

True that he lowered the previous rate. They were about to pay 30 million before where now they only have to pay 15 million for the previous 3DS sales. . .
Though, my hope is that the jury would nullify such a claim. Did you know juries literally have the power to disregard the law? The intention was to have the ability for the people disregard unjust laws, being the last line of defense. It was routinely done for slaves who came to the north during the civil war, the jury refused to convict them of the agreement between the north and the south and just ruled not guilty to let them go. We still have this ability, it's simply suppressed by the judge's and the lawyer's powers and not well known.
Useless trivia, but it makes me feel hopeful just knowing it.

There was no Jury, keep in mind. Another thing to note, is he lowered it because he doesn't want the other Company to actually earn more than they deserve. The 3DS will start costing less, so...

I wish he ruled it in favor of Nintendo, mind you. They're already losing enough cash as is and doing poorly. This only makes them do worse. And Microsoft's already in extremely poor form money-wise, and the only chance they have at coming back is releasing a new Windows that isn't trash. Cause the Xbox One isn't going to be enough.

And yeah, that makes sense. The Jury's decision can entirely be something the law would blatantly not allow. This is because the idea behind it is that they are trying to be as fair as possible while taking everything into account, not just "it's against the law, so yeah". Evidence, morals, and whatever else. It doesn't work always, but that's a democracy problem as is. And we know that "one guy rules all" is just as bad.

Gosh dang federal judges

The article was vague anyway. It's possible Nintendo's design was that close. But that Judge, as said, didn't want to cost Nintendo money in an unfair way. I think there's more to it than the article says, though.

Still not convinced it's real yet, but still, the thought of it alone...

In order to be "fabulous", you have to be a pretty boy or manly man (fabulous bears).
