You are using Miiverse as a form of evidence

They aren't exactly he kind of people I would use for . . .well anything to be honest.

Regardless of the kinds of people who post there, it still shows that she's easily one of the more popular additions among the "casual" crowd in particular. The site it's hosted on doesn't mean much. The thing to take from it is that it was Sakurai's outlet to speak to fans through. That's what matters.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Are you referring to me back in E3 2014 where demos of SSB3DS were playable and I reported that according to a friend, Galleom was set to appear in Smash Run? I thought he's a trustworthy guy so there was no reason for me to attack his statement at the time...

Nope. It was right after Bayonetta reveal. In the K rool thread in my group. Not the one in the official character boards.

 

[Chrono.]

Lol the localization for the new Digimon game is sloppy as hell.

Spoiler

I mean I love that we got the game at all but still...

 

[Opossum]

So I saw Deadpool with 2 friends...

That was amazing! I don't think Marvel Studios would be allowed to do that kind of stuff, and it's already getting a sequel?! Can't wait! So much good ****. What makes it better is the thought of all the parents thinking 'durrrrrrr imma bring my 6 year old kid wit meh cuz zoopa gyros aren't R rated'

To be fair, though, it was FOX, not Marvel Studios.

They aren't exactly he kind of people I would use for . . .well anything to be honest.

First off, generalisation isn't cool. I've posted on Miiverse, quite a bit actually. You probably have too. Not to mention all of the great artists on there, like BluePikmin11 often shows us. Guess that makes us all idiots because of a few kids who happen to hang out there?

Second, I could very easily say the same thing about Smashboards users not being "evidence of anything" (personally, I've seen way greater stupidity on Smashboards than on Miiverse). Doesn't make it true, though. Again, generalisation isn't cool.

Thirdly, the IQ level of a demographic is irrelevant. If they show support for a product (in this case, Rosalina being playable in Smash), then that's a GUARANTEED audience they can please. We don't have any other official sources we can reference for this, Sakurai's Miiverse posts are the only solid statistics we can look at for how well specific elements in the game were received. And they tell us that Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man being collectively in the game together (but not alone), was what people were most excited about this game for, period. And Rosalina & Luma ALONE were right on their tail. That's nothing to scoff at.

I know it was FOX. Disney would REFUSE to let Marvel Studios make this

 

[Schnee117]

To be fair, though, it was FOX, not Marvel Studios.

It's all down to Reynolds and the other producers for pressing on with it to FOX as well as having the test footage.

Now if Karl Urban could push as much for Dredd 2

 

[Coricus]

Geno was considered. . .


. . .he kinda hits the Uncanny Valley for me. I suppose there's nothing wrong with it, but it's going to take some getting used to.

At least the idea that Mii Costumes were consolation prizes might be of benefit to my personal preferences, even if people will just find new ways to try to prove their costume is better than my costume and so on and so forth.



I just hope that the constant upheaval means that I might finally be free to support the one character I really want without instantly getting blowtorched.

Either I needed better wording or a /joke because I was not at all serious.

You probably have too.

Nope



Won't be able to see Deadpool until it hits Redbox. I was excited to see Wade Wilson. Everyone else sees him before me

 

[_Sheik]

Reading all of your posts in the obligatory Gavin voice just makes you so fabulous, you know?

I apologise, it's just that I've gotten that same response from people before when I mention that point, and it was genuine in those past instances, so I got a tad bothered by seeing it happen again. I couldn't tell you were joking because of that.


I should probably watch one more episode of SAO2 now and go to bed.

Oh thank you. I just hope the Fräulein think I sound fabulous as well

rosalina and bowser jr arent going anywhere.If anything i see us getting more mario characters when smash 5 comes around. *cough* nabbit *cough*

 

[Deleted member]

I beat 10 on my third try.
It took me like 16 altogether for 12.
But the good news is....
I NOW HAVE THE GENOCIDER RIDER!

I beat it
Because I decided to focus on defending rather than trying to get Takumi's Elixir
Now Chapter 11 is quite the Breather Level

Speaking of Fates, there is Street Fighter meme in one of Niles' supports:

Lol, I just saw that support
But technically, it's a trope already
Though if people start complaining about Treehouse shoving down "Memes", then that's just another Tuesday for me

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Let's be honest, the Inkling and Sonic costumes also fell into the Uncanny Valley. Tails will give me nightmares for weeks if I look at that dead face any longer.

Honestly I had my entire left "bridge" with the breakable wall guarded by Nyx with the turret and Odin flinging flames over the wall.
Silas guarded the right bridge from archers with Jakob dashing in for periodic heals.
Effie guarded the one "hole" in the defenses on the front because she's Effie.
Then Azura/Kamui kept the influx on the left died down, Arthur/Severa on the right, and then Beruka and Camilla just kinda roamed where needed.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Let's be honest, the Inkling and Sonic costumes also fell into the Uncanny Valley. Tails will give me nightmares for weeks if I look at that dead face any longer.

And don't forget about the Isabelle costume. I like how instead of making it a full on suit, it looks like they took the real Isabelle and skinned her alive. More than enough Animal Crossing fans were creeped out by it and this picture for example easily shows how dark it is.

 

[NintenZ]

I found a cool Easter Egg in SAO2.

Literally a "blink and you miss it" thing, caught it by chance.

I guess they probably make SAO video games.

I knew that already.

But yes, they've made ones for the PS4 and VITA, such as Hollow Fragment.

 

[Coricus]

Let's be honest, the Inkling and Sonic costumes also fell into the Uncanny Valley. Tails will give me nightmares for weeks if I look at that dead face any longer.

I think the problem with the Inklings and Knuckles is that the Miis themselves are horribly Uncanny Valley, people just typically ignore it.

It looks like they went for the "cheaply sewn beanie" look for Tails, though. Was there any reason to go for the full head placed directly on top of the Mii's head?

Ironically I read the phrase "nightmares for weeks" in Tails' voice due to his saying that in response to coming out of being consciously stuck in a pseudo-death state in Sonic Generations.

 

[Autumn ♫]

With Tails and Knuckles costumes, I just based them off of this.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Hey guys, it'd mean a lot if you can RT some of those set of tweets: (go to Twitter to see the full chain) if and whatever you agree with. I've reached my limit, and I'm very frustrated with other larger sites treat SG.

 

[NintenZ]

I'm back!
Did I miss something important?

Well Geno was considered for Smash.

Nothing really out of the ordinary.

I took a look at what was going on.

Regardless of whatever has happened in the past, I wish I could help, since this is a load of BS these sites are pulling. I unfortunately don't have Twitter and wouldn't gain any sort of following overnight that could help.

I'll link to your article on tumblr and see what happens though.

The only people that follow me are people who also follow you but I don't mind having that number go up to make it look more important.


Ironic (and obnoxious) that "Source"Gaming doesn't get Sourced.

 

[Schnee117]

What happened?

NintendoEverything reported on the Geno thing but didn't cite SG at all.
They just provided a lazy link to the video right at the end of the article.

 

[Chrono.]

What happened?

Other sites are reposting their content without credit.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

The best Nintendogs will ever get is a stage and Assist Trophy for future Smash titles. While a dog was considered for Smash, Sakurai went against it because it was too peaceful like an Animal Crossing Villager at the time. But the real problem would have to be none other than PETA, the same people who made a big deal out of Mario "using skinned Tanooki fur" in his costume. in 3D Land Not like it was that much of a loss to begin with.

 

[Burruni]

There are times I can't help but love the FE community.
This sprite looks just awful enough to actually be from one of the NES games.

 

[PushDustIn]

Exactly this.

Which is really annoying because I prioritized the video over the translation so sites would have to give us more credit, and so the information could come out sooner. This is because Nintendo Everything was rushing out bad translations.

Duck Hunt Dog does what Nintendog does, but better.
I don't see them coming to Smash after this installment.

I see how sites would act this way and discredit a lot of you guys. But remember, you guys have the sources and go through the trouble of bringing this information.

Don't worry about the dogs and rats of the media of gaming but focus on being yourselves and making SG better.

Worry about them not giving you respect is a fly on the wall.

Annoying, yes but isn't something to hold back on.

You still got a ways to go and you guys will get better. Keep your heads up

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Exactly. Duck Hunt is cuter, more dangerous, and iconic when you compare him with a little puppy from a 3DS game. I'm personally glad we got him over any Nintendog to be honest. And that also means less controversy from the animal loving dolts known as PETA.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I have a legitimate question and is pretty off-topic, what motivates artists to draw fictional characters with pooped diapers? Is it because it's cute? No disrespect, I'm just realllllllly curious. :o

 

[Deleted member]

Hey guys, wouldn't be cool if we had a Hoshido VS Nohr Splatfest?

I mean im not even planning to buy Fates but i feel it would a wasted opportunity if they didn't do something like this.

They probably will eventually...

 

[Roaring Salsa]

So with the Mii DLC costumes actually being consolation prizes for popular characters, Sakurai implying he's aware of what the "hardcore" fanbase wants, and saying not all popular characters should be added right away in Smash 4 so that IPs still remain fresh later on, Smash 5 speculation will sure be a wild ride

Can't wait to form part of another Smash hype train in a few years once again

Weird.
Weird.
Fetishes.
Let's leave it at that.

Also.
I am still disastisfied with DHD.
And you know why?
WHERE IS THE LAUGH?!
YOU WERE KNOWN FOR ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY.
AND YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE IT.
HELL, YOU WERE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BREED OF DOG IN THE ACTUAL GAME.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

It's a fetish. Literally the same reason why inflation and tickle fanart on DeviantArt exists.
