What if Smash NX was an enhance port with more characters? My somewhat prediction! #SmashBros pic.twitter.com/SWTCvCQ2Ze

Worked pretty hard on this. Think it came out pretty awesome.

Not too long to enter the Runbow giveaway

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Only about 58 entries, so anyone who wants to enter has some pretty good odds.

Capcom to give titles more dev time, says Street Fighter V 'needed more polish.'

So essentially, Capcom is basically admitting that rushing SFV was not a wise decision sales-wise.

Who would have guessed, it's Crapcom after all. They do good only to mess up within the next game this generation. Really do hope they learn from their mistakes.

Meanwhile, I've got big plans for my last day at my college's Manifest event while Princess (You know who) is dreaming about dancing with Soliel. She's quite the handful already, but certainly a bigger one now that she's "out".

I continue to be unable to take Smash 4 very seriously when there's still debate about banning a character in this game in any year ever.

Like what type of ****ing nonsense

Don't worry girlfriend, they just hate Bayonetta because she's got better moves than them.

 

[AlphaSSB]

You're forgetting one of the best Pokemon of Gen 5.

I know that Bisharp and Pawniard exist, but that doesn't mean I can't want more Dark/Steel types.

And people thought that Rosalina was overpowered, when in truth, she's not even close to being an overpowered fighter now.

Or Zero Suit Samus and Sheik, the former queens of combos until Bayonetta came along.

Those two have been far worse than Rosalina ever since Rosalina got the 1.0.4 update nerf hammer in Smash 3DS.

Sounds pretty biased, but you are the Zero Suit Samus main after all.

I'd entirely disagree.

Especially with ZSS, who was carried entirely by Nairo.

1.0.4 didn't just nerf Rosalina. It buffed her too. Overall I think it made her a better character. She became less accessible, but gained more potential.

Potential wise, I always thought Rosalina was the best in the game. She just has a lower and much less competent player base than Sheik had. And doesn't play in a way Smash players are used to.

 

[wedl!!]

implying ZSS wasn't dumb as **** prepatch

implying sheik wasn't also really oppressive and invalidated a ton of the roster

I guess there's only one thing to do: Settle this in Smash!

And you've forced me to use the Chara text again.

Well, there's to hope that when Nintendo sees these results, they do something to make the poor guy's situation better. He deserves it.

Well, GameFreak or whatever. Still, hope that at least they give him an at least decent evolution line.

More like Game Freak themselves need to see the results.

But you're right, the sea lion star deserves better.

The adorable fire cat is losing to Hedwig? Do people not see potential in a Fire Tiger at all?

Again, Popplio needs something to make him stand out soon. Something less silly whole sticking with the clown motif. Even a fanged Joker-esque sea lion would be cool.

I see more potential in an aerial leaf throwing kung fu kicker owl than the big cat barfing its own hair.

That's a reference to the Yuiitusin MUGEN character isn't it?

Actually no....
It was Boozer.....

You were too distracted by DH that I was able to come in for the kill.

 

[Aetheri]

So, how's your take on what's happened in the game so far? I hear some people get annoyed at the writing, but I hope that's not the case for you as the writing is half the fun for those of us who enjoy the game. Of course, the parts everyone got REALLY addicted to after release are yet to come. . .

I'm fine with the dialogue so far, nothing too obnoxious about it, and it has it's moments...truth is, half the time I'm not really paying that much attention because I'm focused on the combat and such...either that or struggling with the controls...

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Aaawww, more Popplio fanart is always a good thing. :3

I'm even going to Brookfield Zoo over the weekend to see my favorite sea lions at Pinniped Point. I've always got this strange habit of naming random zoo animals after Pokemon (Pyroar, Vulpix, Spoink, Zubat, etc).

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

You have no idea how much fun I had calling the echidnas in the Australian House "Knuckles".

He is arguably the most famous fictional counterpart of those freakish monotremes. Seriously, the anatomy of an echidna is terrifying.

:D Definitely, it is good for the heart!

xD Oh, that's great! Well, at least you got a perfect name of one of the cute seals, gotta love seals. Hope you have fun when you go there~!

You mean like their 5 heads?

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Yeah. What type of animal has that many heads?

Monotremes are the weirdest class of mammals after all.

Hey, that's my text color!

But yeah, echidna are the cream of the crop of strange Aussie animals. My dad told me that fact when I was 6 and it grossed me out a lot. Didn't help the fact that it was a year before they taught me about "the birds and the bees".

Sorry fam. When you had five hours of sleep and see mostly purple, it was bound to happen.

Ha, your parents must be something special. Gave you "the talk" after they told you about Knuckles' best feature.

I just noticed that compared to the starters, the Legendaries don't have as much fanart. That being said, still found this adorable fanart of Solgaleo.

 

[ChikoLad]

I just noticed that compared to the starters, the Legendaries don't have as much fanart.

That's because they are much easier to draw.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

People should probably be aware that the names of the Sun & Moon legendaries are "not" official yet.

If you search you'll find some but of course there's not nearly as much as the starters...
like this neat Lunaala art...

Spoiler

things is a lot of art for the legends I find are the fakemon designs based on the trademark names...but the more complex designs as well as less information on the legends (we don't even have typings) could be a factor as well...

People should probably be aware that the names of the Sun & Moon legendaries are "not" official yet.

official or not, we didn't get the official names...I'm just using the trademark names as placeholders until we do get the official names, they fit...it makes sense, so why not?

I always wanted to play Smash Doubles but there's nobody by me I can team up with and the character I can use for it

(Although Mac and Shulk are great in doubles)

Y'all be sleeping on Popplio.
