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

[Thunderfang747]

@augustoflores: I don't know how you manage to do that, but I really like that picture.

@Johnknight1: I've always wanted a console that replicated the quality of the SNES; which had a great balance of great titles without an insane amount of shovelware that plagued the NES, PS1/2 and Wii. To this day, we still haven't seen that and the Wii-U's early performance made me lose hope in that, but perhaps they might be able to pull off a miracle if Nintendo play their card right.

I have high hopes for the Wii U. It is true that it had a rocky start, but what system doesn't? The PS3 did horribly the first few years and then picked up to be a great console. One thing people don't seem to remember is that the reason Nintendo's first party franchises are so good is that Nintendo takes their time until the game is great. That is why Brawl was delayed so many times. While there isn't much today, give it a year or two and it will be riddled with great exclusives.

 

[Johnknight1]

Good summary Johnknight. Gives me hope for the Wii U. Still haven't bought one.

I'd like to add it gives hope to Sony, too. Both consoles could sell over 100 million units IMO. If Nintendo slips up or even just has a tiny period where they have no real big name exclusives, Sony could "take the lead" or at least gain a lot of momentum with the PS4.

That could happen Sony gets say MGS5, MGS: Ground Zeroes, Uncharted, a new take on Jak and Daxter (which should happen; that IP was an incredible experimental combination of platformers and shooters that I think would be great to reintroduce now), Ratchet & Clank, or really anything Naughty Dogs makes, they can really get some momentum.

Sony showed some maturity with the terrible PS3 start. Hopefully they truly did learn from that and learned that just because they were on top doesn't mean they can go and party when they're on top. No, champs gonna train and train and improve and improve in order to keep that belt, and since the start of this generation they haven't been close to the belt at all in regards to home consoles.

It would truly be great if Sony and Nintendo learned from their mistakes with their last consoles, bring back what worked in previous generations, and gave a great effort going forward with this generation. Overall however both companies have made great games and consoles since they started (regardless of how underwhelming consoles like the PSP and GCN performed, all of them were worth owning and then some).

Hopefully Microsoft learns, whether the easy way or the hard way, that in order to sell game consoles, you have to put gamers first, because quite frankly, they aren't even close to doing that with the Xbox One. All they have in it is a giant confused mess of a box that does nothing that some other box already does better.

The Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS, and PSP, all while rocky at times, especially at their starts, were great consoles. From the looks of it, Sony and Nintendo seem to have a great plan in place that shows the company's collective maturity. Microsoft, however, took the opposite route. Of course, all that can change with time.

So ... you can call people with voice commands, and you will always be on camera. Which means you'd better hope that in the throes of sofa sex you don't shout anything that sounds like "call Grandma." -- Cracked.com


It's actually really creepy how you're forced to have a Kinect, and it will be on at all times, watching you. Just what do you want from me, Microsoft.

I wish I was a sleazy business man that could sell something like "Kinect Kovers" to keep the camera covered. With a bit of scare tactics marketing, I bet it'd do great.

I think it's even more creepy they're yelling about their grandmother during sex

 

[Bowserlick]

Someone might be saying "ram another." Sounds similar.

 

[Johnknight1]

The whole "Kinect One can spy on you" dealio is pretty creepy. Seriously, whatever happened to the good ole' American love of the right of privacy=???

Oh yeah, 9/11, the Patriot Act, and a whole lot of bull crap totalitarian politics justified by fear tactics.

I think it's even more creepy they're yelling about their grandmother during sex

Maybe if you were Stronger you would Scream It too...

...or if you loved your Grandmore Some More!

Also, Oasis, it Sounds like you Love your Grandmother A lot.

"Do you want internet hackers watching your children play video games and sending them invitations to "Skype?" (the quotations are important here because some may not know what Skype is and assume it's some sort of sexual act), buy our Kinect Kovers today to protect your children in the future."

I remember my friend would get creeped out by his webcam and I think he put a sticker over it, lol.

 

[Baskerville]

Those last few pages
. . . . . . . .
You've all completely lost it.
N3ON is pretty cute though...

 

[Johnknight1]

I hope some of you guys didn't scare off N3ON. It'd suck if we lost one of our best posters. Plus, smiles would be criminally underused.

Also, ONLY I CAN SCARE AWAY SWF USERS MERE MORTALS!!! BOW BEFORE YOUR NEW KNIGHTLY GOD!!!

I got a few anti-privacy/government drone programs on my computer just because that crap makes me paranoid as hell. Seriously, where does the line end=??? Now that Verizon has that recording DVR patent and now Microsoft has a spying Kinect patent, what next=??? Refrigerators that spy on you=???

"Big Brother is Always Watching You" indeed George Orwell.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Phillip K. D.ick also feared of this future

 

[Oasis_S]

Whatever government man is watching me, I bet he feels lucky.

"Man so there was this guy doing a lot of research on plutonium and nuclear weapons, and like, he made a joke once that saying "assassinate Joe Biden" would get past our word filters or something because he's not important enough or whatever lol, but yeah so I spied a bit more on him and WOW he's like this maid guy and he was looking up plutonium to see how much a person would weigh if they were made of the stuff YEAH I KNOW like what??? haha what a weirdo."

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I kind of pity the government man assigned to monitor what I look up

 

[Oasis_S]

I guess you could say he has an EYE ON YOUROLFLMALMFJSOJFLJSDLKJHAHAHA


"Oh yeah and he makes really stupid jokes all the time it's kind of lame."

 

[Johnknight1]

I'd say the same thing, but I don't post that crazy of stuff.

Now the stuff I say, that's freaking crazy, and there's no doubt about it.

And the stuff I think, "crazy" doesn't even begin to scratch the surface, or even come near the surface.

In fact, I'd dare if a government worker heard what I said all day, they'd probably go crazy and quit their job or create a cult in my honor. Either way I win!

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

I'll do an exception this once to show pics of myself.

Though hum, these are from Tumblr...

Spoiler

Also Oasis put those shades back on you look ridiculous without 'em okay

 

[Thunderfang747]

Wait people are actually showing their faces? ...eh Why not. I was kidding before about looking like Wright, I am a tad too blonde...and pudgey lol

 

[LaniusShrike]

Haha, what the heck. I've enjoyed seeing what people look like, might as throw my face up on the nets.
You know, I have to say... we're all pretty good looking, considering we hang out on video game forums and argue about fictional characters.

 

[Oasis_S]

Does photoshop follow you wherever you go.


@Horsetail: PFFF, you wouldn't understand. The Shades work well with the maid dress since they're both black, but they don't really work with a Salmon cami.

 

[LaniusShrike]

Yup, absolutely everywhere. It's a blessing and a curse.

 

[Opossum]

I now know what most of you look like, and at the same time, I am absolutely not photogenic...every time I take a picture, I look like I'm stoned/depressed/bored out of my mind.

Hell, the last photo ID I had to take for the SAT looks like a mugshot

 

[Baskerville]

I feel so weird for doing this but.... here's me...

 

[Banjodorf]

My god! I think I missed the best series of events ever in this thread! Curse my unfortunate scheduling issues!

So anyway guys, I think it's time to post myself. Awwww yeah.

Spoiler

Yes. It *is* the best suit ever. Why thank you!

 

[Sharkarat]

Everyone else is doing it.
So here's a picture of me.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

In relation to the XBoxOne talk a few pages back apparently the sales of WiiUs have shot up since Microsoft's announcement.

Wonder if that'll stop the complaints about Bayonetta being WiiU exclusive. And if we get some more Smash players.

 

[Oasis_S]

Is your hair pink and blonde. Always thought that might look neat. But I just like pink and yellow as a color combo.

At the time it was pink/light brown. I thought it looked good, although in that pic it looks a little funny in the light.

Now it's just brown again :/

 

[vicgur]

I'm disappointed that, other than me and Oasis, no one looks like their avatar

Okay, you got me! My picture was fake. I'm actually a weirdly drawn Smash Ball.

 

[Terrazi Terrajin]

I'm actually the Playstation Falcon.

 

[Baskerville]

That explains a lot.

 

[Vintage Creep]

Spoiler

Yeah this is the best I got. We were at a Rammstein concert last month in Bologna. I usually have glasses and I usually refuse to wear any catholic-related object on me but that was a gift, so... Also I usually do not look like a pig on weed.

Playing FE4 makes you even more awesome now.

 

[Frostwraith]

So... the thread's topic moved to posting pictures of yourself?

Don't feel very comfortable in posting my picture on the Internet...

 

[Diddy Kong]

Neither did I but who cares man?

All right, fine... Here's a pic of me.

Fooled you.

What did you expect from the guy having Celice as his avatar for few months

This game is also all kinds of great, I tell you. (->v<-)

 

[augustoflores]

i always thought you looked like this

Spoiler

 

[volbound1700]

can't post picture now but plan to post pic of me with fiancee later this evening. At work right now. We will probably be way off topic by then anyways lol.

Ah what the heck. Here is my pic I

 

[Diddy Kong]

N3ON especially. Cause whoa she cute.

 

[Frostwraith]

Only girls have to be afraid.

I just don't like the idea of having my own picture for everyone to see. Even when going outside, I tend to avoid crowded places...

I often feel uncomfortable around strangers and tend to distrust people at the first glance, so you get why I'm stating this.
