People have their bias obscure retro characters that 90% of the smash community if not moreso never saw before Smash.

IE: BluePikmin now Fumi-Chan with Prince Sable.
Me with Donbe & Hikari.
Various nerds for Takamaru and Mike Jones.
Some people for Sukapon.

At some point I expect every Nintendo protagonist that has ever existed to be uncovered and instantly given a support base a hundred people strong.

I KNOW I saw Sheriff on some rosters before he was an Assist. And then there's everything from Diskun to a kangaroo toy from before Nintendo was even in gaming.

Considering the latter, it's probably also only a matter of time before people start putting a Love Hotel on their rosters. I know they've also tried for a Hanafuda rep at least once before as well, so. . .

As of Super Star Ultra and on, I always found hammer to BY FAR be the quickest way to kill bosses.

It's not the "safest" way to take down bosses though, especially once you've reached The "True" Arena. In the case of The "True" Arena, you have to keep your distance, since the rest area only gives you regular tomatoes, and you have to conserve them as much as possible.

Bomb has often felt like an effective ability to use for The "True" Arena, but keeping it is not easy once you've reached Galacta Knight and Marx Soul.

As for Return to Dream Land, The "True" Arena is a tad easier with offering players up to three Maxim Tomatoes, but Spark would be the key ability, thanks to the fact that you can shake the Wii Remote to build up electrical energy.

I almost forgot: when I bought the amiibo last week at Best Buy, the receipt included free download codes for both 3DS & Wii U versions of Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge.

Since I already own it on both systems, anybody want them? Free of Charge. First come first serve.

Just note that you need at least one amiibo to play either version.

I just learned that a Star Fox 2 staff member has stated that the leaked prototype ROMs of the game, despite being pretty much complete, all lack something that the final product would have had: Some encounters and "Rouge-like" gameplay.

He also stated that a 100% finished Japan ROM does exist for it that they possess.

Actually, Hammer is a rather safe option. Lots of moves with invicibilty, enough range for safety. Not the safest, but pretty safe still. Especially if your really great with it like me, in that case, offense is the best defense and you can get really quick time records with it. Much more so than any of your protective options. Especially if your timing is great.

Good show, Star Fox! Hopefully this will further encourage Nintendo to make games not named Mario or Zelda.

Then again, judging by the Best Selling Video Game Franchises page on Wikipedia, Star Fox already sold better than half the series in Smash long before this. It's the lowest ranking Nintendo franchise on the list (aside from Tomodachi Life, which may as well be part of the ridiculously high selling Wii franchise only transplanted onto handheld), but it's still not in the lowest bracket and it outclasses quite a few more popular series. Although the fact that there's nothing lower than it when there's an entire category below the one it's in with a huge sales gap says some REALLY unfortunate things about how little love any Nintendo game less popular than Star Fox gets. . .

Ah well. I guess everyone can use this as another reason to beg for Wolf back whenever Nintendo announces they're finally making another Smash game with roster additions or something.

Correct me if I'm wrong but is this the story timeline of the Star Fox series?

Timeline 1: SNES → SNES 2
Timeline 2: 64 → Adventures → Assault → Command
Timeline 3: Zero

Still sad Command was the final game in the biggest timeline with its abysmal "story".

Well, Zero was stated to be reboot and I've been told 64 was a reboot of SNES (I need to get around playing both SNES games)

Also, I just finished reading the official "Farewell, Beloved Falco" manga (has a story taking place between 64 & Adventures). I actually enjoyed it.

So just some random chat that I wanted to get off my head and get you guys advice on.

As you all know I'm working a lot more lately. Busting my ass. And the store manager (who I loved to death) was working two stores, but now she has left to go to the other store and the assistant manager (who I also really like) has been moved up to manager.

I know paperwork, have the hour availability, all the good stuff, etc to get the position. And she knows I want it. However the person in front of me is another girl. While she's an admittedly hard worker and we're friends I have some issues with her getting it over me. I wouldn't be so mad about it, seeing as she does do her job, but she does have a more problematic past than me.

See she once thought she'd get assistant over the girl who is now manager. She went off. She cursed out the old manager, the district manager, and the now manager as well. She literally called the district manager a c word and she's the front runner.

Do I have a right to be angry if she gets it over me based on this alone? She also was there when the store got robbed twice in a row, used to hang out way too much on the clock, and since becoming full time recently hasn't really worked a full time schedule.

I'm also full time now and have no intentions of not doing that.

Again, am I right to harbor at least a little anger if I don't get picked? Or am I being an asshole?

Don't you think we should change the title to reflect the release of Star Fox Zero?

I mean, SF Zero is beign released this friday, and having something SF-Related on the title would be nice as a "Celebration" of SF Zero's Release.

I don't care what the title of thread could be, "Star Shine Zero", "SF ZERO RELEASES, MISSHON COMPLIT", "Stair Fawkes Seero", as long as it is SFZ Related, im good.

I started to realize life isn't as simple as "Glass is half full" or "Glass is half empty"

When I use the term "Half full" it's usually actually a bad thing. Like "Oh no, my battery only filled halfway"/ "My batteries only half full"

But when I use "Half Empty" it's like "Eh, I don't need to buy any more of (Insert whatever), the bags only half empty" or "My drinks only half empty I don't need a refill yet"

While it's fine to be disappointed when you don't get what you were hoping for in any situation, I don't see any immediate problem with her getting it over you, at least from the perspective of an average employer.

Thing is, as long as she does her job and works hard, she's just as viable as you are. I also don't see what her being there when the store was robbed has to do with anything if her job isn't security. Especially if those robberies were aggressive ones. Stuff like that just happens. If those robberies were the direct result of her not being where she should be, then I'd understand, but you just said she was there when it got robbed - most likely just being busy with her work. If anything, if it was an aggressive robbery and she had been harmed during it, it'd probably be the company paying her compensation, if she had work insurance.

In terms of cursing off her employers, that probably would be a strike against her, but if it was one time and it was a while ago, then they really won't care, especially if she has proven herself since then. This is especially true if the company can't afford to let go of anyone. Heck, they may even think of giving her the position because, for one, she seems qualified for it, but also because they know she might be really upset and cause a fuss if they don't. Therefore, it's a win-win to give her the position anyway, from their perspective.

Is that fair? From a moral perspective, no. But from a business perspective, it may be the most practical solution, especially if they feel you would be better positioned elsewhere.

So in my opinion, while it's fine to be inwardly disappointed and vent that a bit with other friends, I don't think it's fair to hold a grudge or get angry at her or anything, especially in the long term. And especially if you consider her a friend. If she gets the job, just accept that, and who knows, maybe she'll screw up early on and then you'll be next in line. Honestly, saying you want to get angry over it makes me think you would run the risk of reacting in the same way she did when she didn't get that position last time.

In any case, I hope you do get the job you want in the end, but try not to let it get to you if you don't get it. That's just the way it is in the job market. You win some, you lose some.
