Look guys, let me go over something.

I'll be the first to admit that I didn't get everything I wanted. In fact, you know, you can argue I got what I didn't want. I don't care for anymore Fire Emblem reps. I thought the base roster was already pushing it. And I don't like the Bayonetta series and personally find the character annoying.

Hell, people took my initial reaction the wrong way, and I guess that turned me off to the idea as well.


But am I mad? Nope. Am I upset? No. Because others are happy. That's what matters. Smash is a game for everyone. I'm not going to complain because my idea of a roster isn't the same as someone else's. Life doesn't work that way. Life isn't fair.

Whether or not I like the choices. How can I say they aren't good additions? Corrin has cool gameplay, and Bayonetta is also interesting. While I think Bayonetta doesn't really fit in, it's fine. You know who else doesn't "fit in"? A two dimensional sprite that makes silly noices. But he's in the game.

I want my Ridley, my Ashley, my Captain Toad and my Pichus... but at the end of the day it's not about what I want. It's about how the game comes together in the end. And there's always the opportunity for next time. So there's no reason to complain about choices now.

Because we got Megaman Pacman Sonic and Mario. And isn't that what it's all about.

This conversation is too deep for Super Smash Bros.
You could ask that question anywhere.
There is no monster buried in the ground that will wake up if you ask what the meaning of life is.

At the very least for my own entertainment and peace of mind, I like to follow the tangled web of human interaction until I hit the wadded mangle in the middle of it all.
Because when they like something they can just press the like button.
Well, I would say that explains it, but YouTube has a downvote option and it still has a reputation for nasty comments.
Seriously?

Why would you hate your favorite food on your plate? Because you dislike it. Want it to change? Say something about it. Thats human nature
That would be the logical explanation, but I feel like there's an underlying mentality by some that we really have no influence.

Perhaps it's just a gambit to ensure that they have less competition when presenting their own opinion. Or maybe I imagined it.

It's because we somehow see negativity as smarter.

It's the same reason why optimism is usually disregarded as childish and naive.
I would ask why, but the answer seems to have clicked in my mind.

This entire fandom and every other first world construct is one huge glitch in the human fight or flight reaction system. Anything not seen as identical to ourselves is seen as a threat to our survival and either fled from or engaged in debate.

Not doing so is seen as childish and thus bad because only a young animal would neither run nor fight to the death, and most young animals are eaten as a result of their vulnerability.

If that sounds ridiculous, that's because it is. But humanity keeps acting it out repeatedly anyway.

Mad props to you Con0rrrr Con0rrrr .

You stated your negative opinion respectfully and peacefully, and without resorting to insults or being a dbag. Internet needs more of that.

I'll be frank.


For a good amount of them, it's less about censorship and more about "how dare you not let me touch my waifu inappropriately and have her say suggestive things back." Sad as it may be, I'd bet good money on this.

I mean yeah, some may just be that opposed to censorship, but...let's be real here.

The only person I've ever had a discussion with about FE censorship who was against it is a casual Trump supporter who watches Monster Musume.

And you know what they say about Trump supporters and anime.

Change is something that has always been seen as a threat, hence the existence of the New Media Is Evil trope.

Change could mean danger, so people feel compelled to fight it until it stops moving.

I'll be frank.

I mean yeah, some may just be that opposed to censorship, but...let's be real here.
On the other hand, the natural drive to procure genetically half-identical offspring is also quite strong.

An opportunity to obtain a placebo may have been too much for many to resist, and the lack of a placebo is seen as a threat to them and thus mauled.


. . .Just let me have my science channel documentary bit, OK guys? I've been on edge lately and I'll get bored of this soon.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

True.
Such a life for Roy and Lucas. Too bad Cloud is an exception now. Corrin is gonna be there as well and Bayo too. That frame data
Because we haven't gotten laid in a while.
I never got laid so I'm always happy or angry, never in between.

Save my suffering.

I guess it just begs a new question, then:

Why are people usually only vocal when they hate something? It would be one thing if they felt like they could incite change, but that is clearly not the case in most cases.
It is possible to be vocal over how good something is. Though it often delves into Undertale Fandom-like situations.

I dislike people's tendency to accentuate the negative, honestly.

I dunno if we're still talking about this, but whatever. I already wrote this.

My advice is just try to turn the parts of the game you don't like into a joke. Better to laugh it off than stew in it. Healthier too.

I mean I still don't like Dark Pit, but now every time someone picks him me and the people I Smash with do this,



act like the person who picked him is the biggest badass that has possibly ever existed and make "edge" jokes the whole time, and now it's just hilarious. xD

Plus as far as DLC goes... you don't have to buy it. It's optional. No point getting riled up over it.

As long as you have at least one character on the roster you really love, there shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully you have more than one, but if not, just play as that one, and keep in mind that that other character you're complaining about might be the favourite of someone else.

I still think Ryu is just a really awkward and ill-fitting inclusion in Smash, but he's my bf's main. When his trailer came out my bf got all excited and did a little dance (he's a big SF fan). In that moment even I was happy Ryu got included. I guess it goes back to what Con0rrrrrrrrrrrr said, and he said it well. I wouldn't want to deprive my bf or anyone of their favourite existing character just because I don't like them. Lots of people turned into pillars of salt bible-style when Cloud was announced, but he's my favourite addition since Diddy Kong. He's never a character I even thought would get in Smash but he's one I wanted since 64. And both of those third-parties characters were **** on before they were included.

Of course you can hope for certain characters to get in more than others, but when they actually do end up getting added, after the very first impression (which can be whatever, I mean we're all human), and is usually the most entertaining anyway, there's really zero point in continuing to ***** about it.

And just keep in mind it's a game. At the end of the day... it doesn't matter. It's there for fun, so just find the fun in it. :)

I guess this is all coming a bit late considering we're done with reveals for a while... but it's something to keep in mind nonetheless.

I've 100% agreed with pretty much every bit of localization misconstrued as censorship Nintendo has done.
I imagine there's a lot of people who have lives who agree.
You know this reminds me of the time Dunkey beat Sky in smash
I actually love you

Power to ya. I was disappointed that they got in over Wolf, but I got over it by accepting what we have and looked at the positive things such as the return of Mewtwo. It could've been so much worse if there wasn't any DLC or more character cuts such as Bowser Jr. and Pac-Man. Both Corrin and Bayonetta seem really fun to play as and have unique movesets. I mean who wouldn't want to play as a Witch or a Dragon? And as for Wolf, he will probably return unofficially :troll:

I remember being so confident that we'd get at least Wolf or Inkling or K. Rool or Dixie Kong through DLC. I thought at least one of those characters HAD to be included as DLC.

I'm at least happy that the characters we did get look like a lot of fun... I'll probably suck at using them though.

I'm just going to go ahead and apologize for being ridiculous and rude.

Pretty much everything I did was way out of line and I'm sorry.

I keep forgetting what I really want to do and doing the polar opposite.

I guess. . .I keep putting my own perceived happiness first when that's just selfish, and then I lash out because I don't understand the way other people think.

Just got to the Wind Waker Story in Hyrule Warriors: Legends. You need to go through the entire campaign and Cia's levels to unlock them. I'm not 100% sure, but Linkle's levels might be a requirement too.

I'm playing ORAs and someone randomly challenged me to a battle so I accepted. Their entire team is essentially Ubers outside of Zapdos and here I have just a mediocre non perfect IV, with some not even EV trained right. I still had some HMs and False Swipe on for catching Pokemon and I was missing an item on one of my Pokemon (Focus Sash).

So anyways, I lost, but despite all of this, I was able to take out his Mega Mewtwo Y, Zygarde, Yveltal, and Xerneas. Had I not had False Swipe on and had my Focus Sash I actually would've won. lmao

I still have a hard time believing that this is happening in FOUR DAYS. I was expecting two weeks at least, but FOUR DAYS?

The long war is finally ending, we can finally return home.

So the Climax of Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U approaches, and maybe some final thoughts?

Back when Mewtwo was announced and Ridley's fate was sealed as a playable character, I began to start supporting one of the characters I had wanted since the beginning of speculation and the games' announcements. :roymelee:

We didn't know what was going behind the scenes other than Mewtwo was On the Way, and come April 1, Smash Bros fans were given a surprising smile of happiness - :4lucas:'s return, and following the announcement of the Super Smash Bros Fighter Ballot. (I know I'm repeating part of my end of year post from 2015, but it's my DLC story) The first character I voted for was my Boy Roy, but fate was surprisingly kind to me when he was leaked early. Seeing Roy return with a new design was awesome, and I knew our Boy had come home, with the World Warrior in tow. :4ryu:

Knowing Roy's finally accounted for, my new top three formulated into King K. Rool, Isaac and Inklings. Come the return of Nintendo Direct, all limits were broken.:4cloud: Pure hype from a game of my childhood - Final Fantasy VII.

We were soon approaching the day that would answer the ultimate question. WHOOOOOOO???

When I saw Ryouma, of course my reaction was slightly disappointed, since I knew that we'd be getting Corrin regardless. After seeing them in action, I slowly began to sing the FE: Fates theme along with the trailer. Knowing that Corrin is now a dragon armed with a chainsaw sword, I slowly accepted Corrin's inclusion, but disappointed we got another Fire Emblem newcomer after Roy. If anything - I still stand by my notion that I won't support another FE Character until I know that other series that are well deserving of newcomers get their turn. (Essentially, let's balance the scales before we add an FE newcomer)

And the climax. One that garnered a George Takei 'Oh, my...!' :4bayonetta: I always considered myself a silent supporter of Bayonetta, often trying to mimic the Announcer saying "Bayonetta!" and waiting until after my exams were over to get a chance to devote more time getting familiar with Bayonetta.

I was slightly disappointed we didn't see K. Rool or any of the other characters in the speculation scene as the Ballot Winner, but I'd say I'm satisfied with the final roster. Of course, there are some notable exclusions from past games or for potential newcomers, but this is a very diverse cast already, each with something that makes them stand out amongst each other.

And that's my text wall of Smash Bros. Tomorrow evening, I'm returning home from our trip to Japan. I'd love to come back again this year, maybe during one of my university breaks. It's been great to come to this country, seeing all the sights such as the Meiji Jingu Shrine, observing the old capital of Edo's evolution into the city of Tokyo that it is today, seeing some geeky stuff in Akihabara and playing some arcade games like Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator, Pokkén Tournament and Dissidia 2015. This travel diary of mine has been kept up to date with fine precision, and one would be impressed as to what we've managed to fit into this trip.

I'd love to come back to this country again, and I know that my sister would love to see us come again (since she's living here and misses us back home). I know we'll come back, we just need to know when that time is, and if we can stay for a bit longer?

I'm compelled to ask what you did that made you feel so bad.
I've seen you say this before and I genuinely have no idea what is making you think you have made yourself look bad.

I'm opposed to most of the decisions NoA has been doing as of lately, and feel they need new higher ups. They've been constantly showing their asses ever since they fired the employee for going on a podcast.

So, the release date was announced and it happens to be February 4th (for Europe)?

Guess who was right? :shades:


It uses minimize.
Wow, Chandelure's voice is nothing like I expected. It's so high-pitched. Kind of cute in a way.

You do realize they fired an employee, not for going into a podcast, but for breaking a NDA, right?

I mean, it sucks and all that and perhaps firing immediately was a harsh measure, but he did say things that weren't meant to be revealed to the public at the time.

And I do agree that NoA doesn't make the best decisions and I'm in Europe.

Also, let's all be honest here: people complaining about the petting mini-game's removal aren't upset about censorship or any of that crap. They are mad because they can't pet their waifus and husbandos.

Any examples?
Not entirely sure what you mean.
Well firing the employee.
Not giving us Mother 3, as its "too risky" when its been translated by fans for years, and those same translators have offered their services for free.
The Fates censorship is a big part, not because of the content removed, but the lack of a replacement.
The Fates Special Edition is a huge middle finger, as it sold out the day it went up, and scapers are charging between $250-300 for the title online, with no sign of restocks.
Also Bayonetta 2 was running pretty high. It did get a restock, but now it lacks Bayonetta 1 for no reason, which gives scalpers with the original release reason to overprice it.
Amiibos are starting to get easier to find, but the pacing is terrible. It feels like they are releasing way too many too quickly, and requiring ownership of newer amiibos to unlock content in newer releases. This isn't so much because of NOA, yet I feel they do have a say when to release certain amiibos, as Japan usually gets them earlier. Also, WHY does NOA choose to go with 3 pack amiibos and no alternatives?! This is so dumb, as I want KK Slider and not Cyrus and Reese, yet they force us to buy all three, while the rest of the world can get them separate.

Implying they need to give us a replacement?

The rest seem small and petty.
