I have put this phrase on my signature case anyone hasn't noticed:
Once the storm arrives and we discuss Fire Emblem again, we will all be playing Fire Emblem: Path of ***********.
And we will have to defend our homeland against the idiots who declare Chrom a shoe-in due to flimsy reasons.
Does anyone here think that we might get both Genesect and Awakened Mewtwo as Pokemon reps?

I actually remember Asage getting angry and leaving last year because Zoroark and Lucario were being promoted for Black 2 and White 2 back in April and people were saying that Victini's chances were little to none.
I'm betting on Awakened Mewtwo showing up in some form as playable, but I bet against Genesect's inclusion, which is too bad as I'd like to see him.

I remember throwing a fit when I realized that Victini wasn't getting in (back when I was a hardcore supporter of him due to unreasonable fears of Mewtwo and/or Lucario's inclusion being prevented by Zoroark, but my dislike of Zoroark has since went away). Worst thing I've ever done when it comes to Smash speculation and left for a couple of months.

I wonder how asage's thought on Victini has changed ever since his hiatus. He did make a Victini for SSB4 thread, although it got little attention (did post a little there, just because I used to support Victini so much, but by then I was neutral on his inclusion).
If we get Mewtwo, it better be classic only or both forms. If only Awakened Mewtwo makes in, there will be massive outcry across the Internet.
Both should appear, but honestly, I just want Mewtwo back.

Nice to see Opelucid again.

Not so nice that Habanero's back to his anti-Mewtwo tirade...God forbid a person likes a character for their own reasons...

I think it is more respectable for people to play a character they like even if they suck than claim to love a character before the game (such as Fox in Melee after figuring out he is top tier), and then jumping ship the next game when the character is not as good.

Pretty sure that's no one is denying that Mewtwo's moveset sucks, they just like the character too much to not care about winning or losing. Honestly this isn't a situation where people are being ignorant. People like Mewtwo and want the chance to play as him for better or worse (I believe the term is called "character loyalty").
I've heard "character specialist" on occasion.

As far as I know, there is no "wrong" or "right" way to enjoy a character in Smash. Some people like whatever fighter for the moveset/playstyle more than anything else (like me and Lucas). And some people like a character for who they are in their source games and the character itself, not caring how good or bad they are (like me and Roy. Plus the fire effects). Some people might think that latter is shallow or whatever, but really, there's no rules saying on how people should enjoy characters, nor if they're foolish for liking a bad character, just an opinion that I humbly disagree with. ;)
Well, there's really no right or wrong reason for playing a character. Playing a character right or wrong is another story. You need to play a character to their strengths. It's like trying to play Dhalsim like Cammy. It's just not going to work out.

I think it is more respectable for people to play a character they like even if they suck than claim to love a character before the game (such as Fox in Melee after figuring out he is top tier), and then jumping ship the next game when the character is not as good.
Let's not jump to conclusions here. I could hardly play as Fox in Brawl due to his abnormally high gravity.

Were you mounted by a gang of wild boars as a child?
I was beaten up by a gang of land sharks, became a sex slave for 5 years, got thrown in the middle of the Amazon, got nearly eaten alive by jaguars, got like a trillion different diseases from the bugs, got captured by poachers, got sold off to a freak show, had to save the president from getting dissected by a race of mutant mole people, had to travel to the far corners of the world to gather the Dragonballs, had to travel through time to stop an eldritch abomination from erasing time, and shot myself in the head 400+ times to summon the Persona Orpheus in order to ward off the threat of the Shadows.

Seriously, shooting yourself in the head to summon godly figures is not exactly fun.

I was taking about this earlier today, I was wondering if you guys would be interested in doing an E3 Prediction Checklist for this years E3?
I have a template pic below of 11 question slots, and we just do is fill one out using MS Paint, Gimp, Photoshop, physically printing whatever you like.
And as the week of E3 goes by we just check off what has happened and what hasn't on our list.
[collapse= Prediction Template]
[/collapse]
Here is a Dummy Picture of what the basic concept is.
[collapse= Dummy Example]
[/collapse]
And here is my prediction list.

You forgot the part where your nemesis, Marht and Mewtwo fight you in a volcano in which random shiz is thrown at you by a raccoon, Megaman, Diddy Kong, and an opossum, while you proceed to conduct surgery on a dying armadillo that vomits every five seconds.
I am disappoint.

Oh man, here's where it gets complicated. What if a person likes playing a character the "wrong" way? Sure, it may not work in the end, but who's stopping them if they're having fun? But anyway, I wasn't referring to actual gameplay, just liking a character for their playstyle vs the character itself.

So when do we get to hear the part about how you became so Spicy?

I liked how you saved time. I brush my teeth in the shower to do that, but your way is more exciting.

I am sure if Mewtwo returns he will be better.
Woah, wait. Don't count your chickens till they hatch. There's nothing saying Mewtwo will be **** again, but there's also nothing saying he'll be better.

My personal exp with Mewtwo was that he simply wasn't fun to use in Melee. He was too damn clunky to be functional.

I demand a story now.
Next time on Smash time:

  • Mario_Sonic, the last good cop on a corrupt force, desperately searches for the Derp Bomb but with E3 only a month minutes away it may already be too late.
  • After escaping from jail, Habanero and --- are kidnapped by the Gamefaqs mafia, the former being poisoned with milk and latter being threatened to be cut should Shortie fail to return with the random money on time.
  • --- loses his thumbs.

1. Marht is my ally. His duncing skills has saved my hide on several occasions.
3. It wasn't a volcano, it was a chasm at the heart of Death Valley.
2. I didn't preform surgery on an armadillo, I was fishing with a samurai to capture the legendary catfish Namazu. Didn't exactly succeed with the mission yet.

Prediction:

The game will NOT Be called Super Smash Bros. Rumble/U/Universe, or whatever else.

It will either be called Super Smash Bros. Riot, or Super Smash Bros. Slugglfest.


Oh, yeah, there is not right or wrong, but the ideal is to try each character in each game (since they all get rebalanced) and then pick the ones you like the most based on how they play.

But then again I wonder who does that? A lot of peopl just pick cool looking characters and play them because of that. Others will choose some based on how easy they are to learn (SSF4 online=Ryu and Ken, THE GAME), others will choose them based on their ranking in tier lists...

Ah well, guess I'll be the only one having fun giving each and every character a fair run in fighting games...

Riot doesn't really stick. When you say riot i think strike, and idk why Nintendo characters would go on strike.
Well maybe Mario could go on strike for being over worked and being VVhored out in so many games. :troll:
Speaking of being VVhored out to many games, Sluggfest sounds like a subtitle of yet another Mario Baseball game.

Rumble sounds fine to me, plus as I said before with the potential inclusion of Little Mac joining it works all the better:

If it's named slugfest (which I doubt) then the game better live up to the name. I like how universe sounds but I doubt that will be the name.
--- loses his thumbs.
So --- won't be able to play the next Smash games?

Man, no comments over the soap opera? For once I'm disappointed at everyone's maturity.

Honestly the only real names I've been liking so far is Universe/U and 3D, maybe it's because I haven't heard it through the announcer's voice but all of the suggestions I've heard sound somewhat cheesy to me.

I'm just talking about playing to win and lol soap opera.

I remember arcadenik suggesting Uproar. That's the best one I've heard.

Welp, we're ****ed. Shortie will probably be distracted by all the men along the way, and by the time he reaches us we'll be more dead then disco.

Also note to self, never drink spoiled milk. That stuff will give to the screaming ****s. Especially if the milk came from a bear.

You know what this reminds me of?

Dragon Ball Z's Android saga. Like how the Z warriors prepared for the Androids, we're prepared for the onslaughts of idiots from GameFAQs.

And then we'll have a very tough fight,sometimes looking like we'll lose, but then out of nowhere we somehow win barely. Man, I really need to get some more DBZ DVDs

Not sure if people got it, but drinking milk neutralizes spicy foods.

That episode will air next month. lol

Clash and Rumble sound to generic, and 3D, U and Universe aren't synonims for "fight" if this game breaks that pattern for the Western Games I'll be disappointed.

Riot, may sound like "stike" to you, but Riot is closer to Melee or Brawl in terms of meaning.

Slugfest, is the same.

Clash is more like Conflict, and Rumble doesn't necessarily imply fighting.

Kerffufle is just silly, as is Fisticuffs. There are several synonims for "fight" but not all carry the same intesity as Brawl or Melee.

Tussle isn't strong enough of a word. Fray is alright, but it doesn't quite flow as well as other options. Clash works but it rhymes with Smash, and that could make it tricky. Skirmish is more military.

The only others I can see working at this point, other than what I've said are Strife, and Battle, and Battle like clash and Rumble is awfully generic. Melee was an uncommon synonym and Brawl while less uncommon, is still rather uncommon.


Imo, it'll either be Strife, Battle, Riot, or Sluggfest, and I'm leaning for the latter two.

Here's an interesting Question:

What will be the name of the Japanese version? So far it goes as follows:

64- Dairantou Smash Bros
Melee- Dairantou Smash Bros DX
Brawl- Dairantou Smash Bros X

XX? GX?

Likely fake, but have this

On another note, I managed to complete my roster analysis.
It's IGN so it's definitely fake. Can't even tell if it was just one person saying all that or multiple people. Still rumors are a fun way to pass the time.

Roster analysis? I look forward to reading it.

Rumble may not always imply fighting, but neither is Brawl, it can also be used for a synonym for a noisy argument, quarrel or squabble.
Rumble is my final answer and i'm sticking with it. LOL watch it be none of ours and with Namco working on it, it'll probably be called Super Smash Bros. Tenkaichi Budakai

and I'd go with Dairantou Smash Bros GX, the other is one X away from being SSB porn.

I'll go with GX for the Japanese title.
GX would be alright, but XX would be good news:



Anyway, here's a bunch of synonyms for Melee: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/09/ggxxacplusrlogo.png

Brawl is a direct synonym and a definition. The ones that match it best are the following:

Definition: brawl
Synonyms: battle royal, fight, fracas, fray, free-for-all, hoedown, melee, rhubarb, riot, row, rumble,shindig, slugfest, turmoil, uproar


Hence why I think Riot and Sluggfest are good choices.

Only in the west, XXX has no significance in Japan, at least no perverted one. Over there it's H, Ero, or Hentai. HHH is the same as XXX is in the West. And we're discussing a title we'll likely never see anyway.
