Opo that emote was my way of saying "do it at the risk of being infracted" lol.

I suppose I'll go the unfun route and just say further kink or fetish talk will be infracted, end of story.

To be fair, political and religious discussion is best saved for the debate hall. It's off topic here at any rate.

So let's start a discussion panel instead shall we.

Of all the Smash Bros reveals across all 4 games, which to you was the most impactful seeing them make it as a fighter, either as an announcement or you unlocking them.

:snake:

Snaek?

Snaek?

SNAAAAEEEEEEKKKKKKK!!!

Definitely most impactful since it opened up the possibilities of 3rd party characters being in smash to the general public/ eye.

Considering Melee was my first game, unlocking :4lucina: and :4roy: were pretty imapctful since I originally thought they were Pokemon trainers due to their anime-inspired appearance. I didn't even watch Pokemon that much so my conclusion was obviously flawed.

Then I played Sacred Stones which became a gateway drug into the greatness that is Fire Emblem.

To me? :sonic:

I still remember when Sega consoles were a current thing. I still remember when it was Sonic vs. Mario instead of Sonic and Mario doing dumb **** at the Olympics and being general bffs. I still remember when the idea of Sonic in Smash was a pipe dream. Needless to say, my **** was lost for the entire day.

In general? :snake:

The floodgates will never be rebuilt.

In terms of unlocking? :mewtwomelee:

This asshole took us what seemed like forever since my parents would always shut off the Gamecube every time we tried to keep it on for the needed amount of time. -_-

Finding out about Mewtwo in Melee was cool. :mewtwomelee:
Sonic. (obviously) :sonicbrawl:
Olimar's reveal in Brawl. :olimarbrawl:
Little Mac in SSB4 (even though I wasn't interested in Punch-Out) :4littlemac:
Greninja. :4greninja:
Shulk. Good lord, Shulk. :4shulk:

Man, I haven't played Melee nearly enough, I didn't know Eirika and Eliwood were in that game.

You didn't know!?

Next thing you know, you guys will tell me that you didn't unlock 8-bit, map-sprite Marth in 64.

Also, has this been posted?


He has a great series on YT, and its interesting to hear him talk on this. It seems most of his informations comes from Source Gaming.
Yeah, I tweeted at him so we could at least be included in the description. Yuriofwind is a good guy, so I don't think it was anything intentional. I also sent him a list of minor things he got kind of wrong (nothing major like the older Did You Know Gaming videos). Mostly things like saying it was Chorus Men 100% and the information about the 4th Custom. I hope to work with him in the future sometime as I really enjoy his work.

Speaking of the 4th Custom I will do an article about it very soon...I honestly just realized I never post my thoughts on why Red's video is most likely false information. So look for that later this week.

Greatest announcement impact IMO? :4littlemac:

Newer people here may just know me as the Chrom guy, but let me tell you, Little Mac was by far my most wanted character, and is honestly my favorite Nintendo character and video game character in general. The fact that he finally became playable after years of waiting was a great moment for me. A Nintendo legend who should have been playable from the start, or at least Melee, from one of Nintendo's longest running and well regarded series. And dammit, he's here to stay. New Punch-Out!! when, Nintendo?

The day he was announced was also the day after I got modded, but that's neither here nor there. :p

I'm listening to Undertale's OST and making lyrics to the song.

Don Bluth is attempting to make a Dragon's Lair movie, but is crowd funding it on Indiegogo

I'm listening to one song from Undertale religiously since for the sake of my sanity, I will never actually hear it in the game.
(It's Megalovania this song is pure ****ing ECSTASY)
Greatest announcement impact?

:4lucina::4lucina::4lucina::4lucina:( and :4falcon::4robinm::4robinf:)

My second-most wanted character, hype incarnate AKA Captain Falcon, AND the tactician magician in all his spell-swordery and cheesy one-liner glory? **** YES.
I was screaming my brains and ass off for the whole three minute trailer.

Best part? It wasn't leaked!! :awesome:

Again, Lucina was my second-most wanted. I may not have got my most wanted, but at least we have another white haired swordsman magician...:^)

Most impactful reveal to me?

Um... That's kind of tricky...

I guess....

:4littlemac: was my most hyped because I really wanted him though :4robinm::4lucina: is a close second. :4cloud:is a big deal as well as he's gotten me to finally check the Final Fantasy games out.

:4greninja: impacted me in a negative way at first. I'll admit, when he was revealed, I was MAD salty. First off, I felt it meant no :4mewtwo:, but most importantly it came right after my favorite character in the series was shot down:pt:(:squirtle::ivysaur::charizard:). To top it off, Greninja just isn't iconic or important or anything the other Pokemon were. I was pretty salty. I'm glad to say that he's grown on me though. He's fun to use and it's not Greninja's fault that :ivysaur: or:squirtle: aren't here. I see his worth now. Now he only frustrates me because I'm terrible with him.

I thought Sonic and Mega Man were the best announcements

Also, Robin's was pretty dang good because it blew people away, and I thought it was hilarious. But, pretty meh in comparison

I keep hearing people say that if Wolf gets revealed in the Direct, they'll hold him off until April for SFZ.

Am I the only one who finds this suspect? Would they really hold back a finished character just for promotional material?

I love how journalists wanted to boycott Play-Asia and now they have 12k+ followers lol GG.

And now someone is offering 1 Million for Play Asia to have the publishing rights for DOAX3 in the US and Europe as well.
This really is a #firstworldproblems thing. 1 million dollars offered cause T and A volleyball game doesn't get released in the west. I get the point behind it, but wouldn't that be better used on actual issues like poverty over some silly game?

Well to be fair..

Couldn't we say that about the entire gaming industry?

Or movies?

Or books?

Don't go the "But starving children in Africa" route. It's nothing short of hypocritical.
