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

[Starphoenix]

No, you're looking at this year; I'm looking at NEXT YEAR!!! Next year, Melee and Brawl won't be a part of this fund; the year after that, Smash WiiU and 3DS also won't. That's less money for breast cancer research, and that sucks.

We don't know what Nintendo will do next year. After the crap they're getting right now the marketing team may just have a say and we'll see a few executives pull rank. Heck, if the Wii U continues to not sell they'll have a lot more problems than whether or not a Super Smash Bros stream gets aired at EVO. We all need to just stop with the hyperbole. Is this a dumb move? Yes. Is this indicative of a policy that will continue into the future? We don't know. Judging by the immense reaction, probably not, but for now let's just deal with the situation at hand.

Calm your **** girl.

I am calm. I'm just laying the truth on you, and it hurts.

Just calm down. This is not the smash apocalypse.

Unless this is reversed, this is the end of competitive smash at a grand stage with other fighting games, and it's the second strike, and we're already out. Next, Nintendo will probably go after all Zenith smash streams, Genesis (if that ever happens again), APEX, etc. It might also possibly mean the end of youtube videos from said tournaments.

This also has huge implications for the future of Nintendo and their online video uploads of fans. Nintendo is quickly becoming the censorship police.

Either way, I thought that they could upload things after the fact as long as they didn't use the live stream.

Yes, but instead of getting hundreds of matches and sets, we'll only be able to record literally a few dozen. We haven't done that since Brawl at MLG (which really hurt the Brawl scene), or since like 2002. That's ancient. Maybe Nintendo should stop acting like it's 2002 in that sense.

You where using your brain as a SmashChu. Check Kuma's signature for reference.

Right. Okay. Mhmm.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

No need to sneak in if your Regal As ****.

No one is more regal than the man NAMED Regal.

Spoiler

prettier one for alternative tastes

Then I'm the blackest George Washington in history. XD

...Wait, so does that make me George Washington Carver?

And that brings me to 150 and 151 likes. Two of my favorite Pokemon too. Wooo~ ¦D

I became a Mewtwo and evolved into a Mew right afte--...Wait, that's not how it works...

 

[Diddy Kong]

All of my favorite Lords minus Sigurd. Aka Mr. Regal Pimpjuice.

Yeah no.

I wanna recant swearing at you, JustABill. You have a right to your opinion, just like we have a right to ours.

Don't demean people that wanna take action against this, though.

His design is pretty awesome in Fire Emblem: Awakening.

I mean, all in all its a video game tournament stream. Not even the tournament, just a stream of the tournament. There is no reason to flip out over this. Lives aren't being taken. No one is getting hurt.

Stop saying I'm being irrational. I'm being completely irrational. You are literally saying nothing but demanding me to do stuff.

I'm tired of you talking down to me, sans the crap you are fuming. You've done it half a dozen posts in a row, and it's annoying. In fact, it is annoying me more than what Nintendo is doing right now. Other than that, I am calm right now. But if there's one thing I hate, it is being talked down to. If you keep doing it, I will block you.

I'm mad that we won't get to see videos of the best smash tournament ever, and the biggest smash tournament ever. This is insane. This is stupid. This is pointless This is like the Super Bowl of Smash not getting recorded.

It's stupid, and quite frankly, I won't forgive Nintendo unless they reverse it. And you know what=??? I can boycott Nintendo if I want, and if you disagree with my actions on that front, then I got two words for you: SUCK IT!!!

You know we're entering the 5th Circle of Hell when Fire Emblem starts creeping into the discussion.

John, just because it isn't streamed doesn't mean it's not there.

You realized I'm pissed about this too right? I watch EVO just like you.

Still being angry doesn't excuse being an ass.

I think you're getting just a tad too paranoid. You're assuming the worst. Calm down.

Him being classes as a Great Knight...not so much. In my book, anyway.

If only FE13 had Halberdiers.....

It's cool. Apology accepted. You were nothing compared to John's incessant overreacting rambling.

 

[Diddy Kong]

I prefer his Sacred Stones design. But it wasn't bad. Kinda thought the shield was out of place though, unless he'd become a General. Great Knight is kinda fitting for him though. Wish he and Hector had a shot, weapon triangle in Smash would be awesome.

Also, he totally banged L'Arachel.

Remember his lance instructor was a Great Knight, I thought it was a bit of brilliance.

I actually wish I had played some Fire Emblem games now.

This is the only time I have ever wanted in on the Fire Emblem discussion.

Don't bloody remind me.

Fire Emblem should be much more colorful, but instead we get stuck with Chrom and Lucina. Like, bloody hell.

Alright.

I'm done. I'll drop it entirely.

John. I told you to calm down because I thought you could help the community get back to it's senses.

But I'm done.

Block me if you want. I don't care anymore.

 

[IsmaR]

I'd ask if I missed something, but I'm almost entirely sure I don't want to know.

 

[Pyra]

I think I'm going to play my first game of Fire Emblem ever now.

Bull****! Sigurd is dead, a taxi ran over him AND he was incinerated!
This should be Seliph instead!

 

[Robert of Normandy]

True enough. Never thought of it like that lol.

Though Halberdier would've been better.....

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Which one?

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

What on earth is going on here.

People are apparently angry over something Nintendo did, and I'm too lazy to read every single post to find out what it was.

Nintendo stopped Melee from being livestreamed at EVO, which is dumb and could be problematic for Smash in future events.

I can feel for you in the Halberdier argument regardless haha.

They refused to let SSBM's tournament be live streamed.

And JohnKnight is assuming the worst, and going very far into the possibilities in the future.
I personally think he's taking things to far.

 

[Pyra]

Which one?

Which one should I start on, if I may ask?

 

[Tree Gelbman]

They're not allowing a stream at Evo.

The sky is falling.

Chicken Little is dead.

Avert the women and children's eyes.

Horror. Pure horror.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Sacred Stones or Awakening seem like a good place to start.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Buy Awakening! NOW!

Give me the money for a 3DS and I will.

 

[Johnknight1]

Johnknight, everybody.

That was a pretty good typo!

John, just because it isn't streamed doesn't mean it's not there.

It means we won't be able to see it. Instead of getting what we got with Zenith and APEX (where I watch all the videos), I will get 5 videos of crappy quality. It will be as if history didn't exist. It's like when the video footage of the World Series of the past were lost; it sucked. This is one of the biggest pieces of Smash history, and damn it, we won't be able to record it or see it.

I think you're getting just a tad too paranoid. You're assuming the worst. Calm down.

This could be the end of Smash competitively at EVO forever unless Nintendo reverses this decision. This is nuts. And it could go farther. Even you have to admit that is a possibility. I'm not saying it will happen or it is a probable, but it could definitely happen. Nintendo already got Brawl off MLG, and now this. I guarantee you if this stands, Smash WiiU or 3DS won't be at either EVO, MLG, or other such large organizations, and if they do, it won't be for long. It's just a fact.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Sacred Stones or Awakening are probably the most beginner friendly. Other ones to look for are Fire Emblem Blazing Sword(just Fire Emblem in the U.S.), Path of Radiance(somewhat rare and expensive), and Genealogy of the Holy War(requires importing/translation to play though).

I'll go with Sacred Stones then, thanks!
