We might have to drop two of the names due to problems with timing, but we'll see. I'm not fixing it until I have finalized supporters on our credits, so the credit scrolling issue will be gone in the final version.
Commentary is debatable. I have somebody i'm talking to, who is pretty well known, who wants to work on it. Only problem is, we're both very busy and keep missing each other. We're working it out as we speak, and hopefully he goes through with it. We'd get a lot of support and viewers if he does.
This pains me to say this, but you're correct. We have no hub, and i'm in no position to get one together.
I think commentary would help the video a bit, but I think it's fine as is. Well worth the wait! :D
The Xenoblade footage is related to Operation Rainfall, and talks about how our movement is based off of that. As far as clarification goes, I may as well post the script for the video for you guys to read, as every part of the script lines up with the actual video. My proposal is that you print the script out, and read it along with the video. Like I said, it all lines up, so there are a lot of cheeky jokes that happen from what is said and what appears in the video.Sorry for the extreme delay for responding to this board. Got college finals I gotta finish. I'll be a LOT more free after Wednesday as my finals will be done by then.
Great video so far gameb0ybryan! I really like it!
If I may ask, was the Xenoblade footage (11:13 onwards) there such that this operation is compared to the Operation Rainfall movement that got XC to Europe and the States? That's what I got from it, but I think some clarification might be needed for that part of the video.
But yeah, I'm loving the video! I think it's amazing that we got support from all of those sites (i.e. Nintendo World Report, Operation Rainfall, NeoGaf, Smash Boards, Ready for Ray Thread, etc.)! Branching out is a very important thing to do in order to get a movement moving!
Quick question: do you think we will eventually need a central website for this operation? If so, we could use a site generator like Weebly or Wordpress in order to quickly create one. That being said, it might not be 100% needed at the moment. Maybe in the future.
Overall, I am very impressed with what you did!
No need to apologize mate! I think everything looks great!

I had a lot of fun and stress contacting all of these people, and now you can see what was so difficult to work on behind the scenes. Remember, i'm one person trying to do all of this while trying to succeed in my own life.
As far as a central hub or website, if we can get someone who can handle that for us, it can be a possibility. As of right now, I am BOOKED because of the holidays. But eventually, yes, we most likely will need one.
Also, as a smaller update, i'll have the OP finished either tonight or tomorrow. If it looks glitchy at any point, I apologize, as I am just trying to make sure everything fits in place.
I totally wished some of Nintendo's more minor franchises were mentioned in that direct (like Custom Robo).in before remake of BR gets announced in tomorrow's direct
but really, I hope there's some info on more of Nintendo's more minor franchises. Any would do.

Hey man, don't worry about it. You've done WAY more than I have ever done. It's fine if you need some time off. We'll be here for you.
So!
Nice! It's pretty hard to get in the top 12 out of 40 in a poll like that. In fact, according to that poll, he's the 6th most wanted newcomer for DLC AND the number 1 newcomer from an unrepresented franchise (yowza!!). That's pretty impressive (2.3% outta the entire poll where the highest one [Lucas] got a 7.9%).
Might be basic knowledge as Harry probably mentioned it at one point in Battle Revolution, but pressing jump and fire simultaneously allows one to fire the air variation of the gun part without having to be in the air. That way, one can prevent themselves from being placed out in the open.
Yeah, that poll was pretty interesting to look at. Though I am curious as to where he got this info in the first place. I guess he just scrambled to pretty much everywhere, probably Twitter and Niconico included.
I always loved the idea of Strike Vanisher, because they're like ninja robots.
Moving the thread to Character Discussion is just good for visibility, but we're over here because speculation had ended and after Mewtwo, we might get an official statement that further DLC won't happen. In that case it's better we stay here so we can continue after that. So basically what I'm saying is, you're right.
Nothing will happen if two charges go through each other. It'll make a "clank" noise and the match continues.
Congrats on graduating High School man! I remember when I did that like it was yesterday (it was in June of 2013). You'll definitely like college. I've made some lifelong friends at my place.
I LOVE Strike Vanishers as well. They are tied with Shining Fighters as my 2nd favorite class (LS is still my favorite). I love ninjas and I love robos, so mixing the 2 of them is a brilliant idea in my book.
Ah. That makes sense. I now remember certain scenarios where that happened. That's probably why Javelin doesn't turn red during his charge attack.
Illegal and Military Grade Robos are ALWAYS fun to play as in my book (especially Katana, Ray Warrior, Hadron, Rahu, AIRS, and Ray II Dark).
The One Who Wrote This
I believe I use the following (has been a while due to work:What loadout do you guys use for your robos usually? Any parts you prefer?
I use this in Arena.
Ray mkII or Ray 01
Gravity Gun
Whatever bomb for the situation
Amun Pod(My opinion, best pod in game)
Phantom Legs (I think they are the best legs)
Just curious. Post the loadout you use for any CR game you want.
Also, @
Ray mkIII has one stat that is better than Ray mkII. The hidden power stat. Power affects the amount of damage your parts give. But everything else is inferior or equal to Ray mkII.
Ah. Makes sense. I gotta try it out when I get the chance.
Aerial Beauties are my 4th favorite robos. They really helped me out during the Post Game scenario with the Dragon Gun (mainly for the homing and damage). Spider Pods are always fun to use IMHO. I forget the bomb part I used in that set-up.

is really busy at the moment so he has kindly granted me temporary ownership. A big thank you to @
Hong
for sorting that out and just generally being helpful with the thread.
Great suggestion. Added.
Holy smokes! That 1st post is REALLY well organized! It's VERY informative and gets right to the point! I REALLY love it!Hey everyone, hope you’re having a good day.
So, you may have noticed already, but I am now owner of the front post. @
You may also have noticed that I’ve edited the front post quite heavily. I tried to make it both informative and interesting to look at.
Since this thread is a group effort, if any of you have suggestions on things that should be added, removed, or changed about the front post, tell me and I’ll happily edit it. I’d appreciate any feedback.
Thanks for being an awesome community for something I care about. I hope I can do you guys proud as thread owner.
Thanks for all the suggestions, it's great to hear feedback.Holy smokes! That 1st post is REALLY well organized! It's VERY informative and gets right to the point! I REALLY love it!
I do have some suggestions and notes for the front page, but not all are necessary.
1) Maybe we should have a spoiler box for supporters. I remember several other "Z for Smash" pages having this on the bottom. Not necessary, but it kinda is a decent psychological thing.
2) Not really a suggestion, but a word of thanks. Thanks for mentioning those movesets that were created! I honestly wasn't expecting that at all. But seriously, thanks man!
3) Probably extra information that ain't necessary, but it pertains to Ray Sky. In GX, he's actually a modified X-Ray. In the game, after a botched attempt to infiltrate and arrest Nikaidou (the big bad of this game [kinda like Scythe in Arena]) because of Marv messing things up like usual, the hero and his team get captured and sent to an underground lair. X-Ray was confiscated by the Nikaidou group and their researchers basically played Frankenstein with it. Thus, Ray Sky was born. I think that Ray Sky also appeared in the pre-titlescreen intro when turning on the game. X-Ray is still the main "mascot" of GX, but Ray Sky is easily the 2nd most important robo in the game. Tiny bit of unecessary trivia, but it's kinda cool anyways.
4) Also related to Ray Sky. If I recall correctly, there were 2 other color variations of Ray Sky. They were purple/white and red IIRC. While the Robo Pedia says that each region gets a different color, an FAQ and several images that I saw show that the red and purple ones only exist in the Japanese version. Basically, the blue one gives +5% in attack power when compared to MK III (the others have -5% when compared to MK III), the red one has +1 in defense, and the purple one has +1 in speed. They are Power, Armor, and Speed, respectively.
5) Maybe add A.I.R.S. in Ray Sky's section. Basically he's the military grade version of Ray Sky (even though RS was made in Nikaidou's labs). Was temporarily given to the hero in order to defeat Dark Chimera (the Hadron/Rahu of GX). Had to return it but he could be obtained again postgame. Also re-appeared in Arena as a post-game reward.
6) This hasn't really been proven yet, but would Ray Warrior essentially be the upgraded version of Ray 01? I always considered that to be the case because of all of the similarities between the two robos (the charge is almost the same as well), but nothing was proven about that QUITE yet because of how late in the game it appears. Maybe group him with Ray 01 so the 6 grouping boxes are Ray, Ray MK II, X-Ray, Ray Sky, Ray 01, and Ray MK III. Once again, not really necessary and would fall under fan theory TBH.
7) Maybe quickly mention how they appeared in Smash Bros already in each of the robos' spoiler boxes to show how much of an influence Custom Robo has had on Smash so far? Of the top of my head I can say that Ray MK III appears in Brawl as an Assist Trophy, Trophy, and Sticker, Ray 01 is a Sticker in Brawl, A.I.R.S. is a Trophy (with Jameson) in Brawl, MK II is a Trophy in Melee, and Original Ray is a Sticker in Brawl. Besides the Rays, there's Annie from V2 as a Trophy in Melee and a Sticker in Brawl, Bayonette as a Melee Trophy, Jameson (with A.I.R.S.) As a Brawl Trophy, an assortment of Robos as a Brawl Trophy, Rakensen as a Sticker, the Robo Cube as a Sticker, and Seal Head as a Sticker. On a side note, I'm miffed that there wasn't a single Custom Robo reference in Smash 4 (love the game the most so far in the series, but wished some more things from the pre-Brawl era of Nintendo appeared in Smash 4 [i.e. CR stuff, Mecha MG stuff, Golden Sun stuff [glad there was a 2nd song added though], etc.).
8) Did you make the pictures? They look BEAUTIFUL (I especially like the one that mimics Mega Legends)! Don't change them one bit!
9) The timeline is spot on and really does help with organization a LOT. Ingenious!
That's all that I can think of. Not all (or any for that matter) are necessary, but those were some things I thought of. The front post already looks amazing! Thank you for you dedication man!
I really want to thank you for your continued support on this product! I think you will do very well with managing the ownership of this page. I know already you'd do a WAY better job than me at handling that.
Anyways, let's keep this page running for a LONG time!
To be honest about the GX stuff, I haven't played it (YET). However, I did watch a playthrough of it while reading an in depth FAQ in order to translate the Japanese. It's the most different game in the entire series due to several reasons (2D plane, everything is seen from a 1st person POV for traversing through the real world, action chip instead of charge and legs, gunners added as a type of shot, alpha and beta shots, the possibility of using a forcefield, etc.). Kinda wished it came to the states. Nintendo Power indicated that it would at one point, but then Battle Revolution came. Cool trivia point: if you can next GX to BR via the GBA link cable, you can get extra parts for GX that are very hard to obtain (requires multiplayer matches IIRC) and the ability to fight the superboss Rising Chimera (an improved version of Dark Chimera, the main "evil" robo). I don't believe you get anything in BR for doing this and I think it's just in the Japanese version of BR.
