Mewtwo infinite was recently discovered, and I was easily able to perform it myself. I made a video showcasing it, but do note, it only works on a couple of characters.
"It was at that moment that Mewtwo realized he was a God."

"And then he faced :4palutena::rosalina:&:4pacman: for the true battle for godhood"

Christmas List


General Items

  • Steam Gift Card (money for games?
  • Nintendo Eshop Card (It's basically just money)
  • amiibos (ask me which ones I don't have, I'll show you, but only if you want)
  • Hard Drive for my Nintendo Wii U (It's getting full, because one game is several gigs, this would give me more space)
  • Card Against Humanity (We will play this eventually, if you do not get it for me this Christmas, I will simply buy it later, IT IS DECIDED)
  • Betrayal at the House on the Hill (It's a board game! Really fun)
  • A shelf (To put things on! Doesn't have to be huge.)

Playstation 4 Games:

  • Uncharted: Nathan Drake Collection (three games for the price of one? Yes please!)
  • Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain (The wonders of Metal Gear! They know no bounds)
  • Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes (Yes there are two. This one is super cheap though)
  • Final Fantasy X/X2 HD Remaster (The X is the roman numeral! Yes this does mean that they named the game Final Fantasy 10 2)
  • Until Dawn (Seems like a neat spooky game with some cues from Native American Mythology)
  • Dying Light (Parkour Zombie Game, It looks really neat)
  • Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition (Supposedly the worst in the series but still good?)
  • DMC: Devil May Cry Definitive Edition (This game had lots of controversy and was hated pre-release, but people calmed down once they played it)
  • Tales of Zetiria (These games are LOOOOONG but always fun)
  • Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (The reboot of the series! This game's heroine, Lara Croft is famous for being one of the first major women protagonists in the industry)

Nintendo Wii U Games:

  • Xenoblade Chronicles X (Won't be out til the 4th, but JEEEEEEZ its gonna be good.
  • Yoshi's Wooly World (It's a game that just reeks of charm, the yarn style is a nice change of pace from the gritty games of today)
  • New Super Mario Bros U + New Super Luigi U (2D Mario is always fun)
  • Resident Evil Revelations (Said to be the series' return to greatness!)








Nintendo 3DS Games:

  • The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes (Co-op Legend of Zelda? YES! And it's online? Even better!)
  • Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon (The series is good again)
  • Pokemon Y (I'd like to return to Kalos)
  • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (Always love a good remake)
  • The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask 3D (Another Zelda Remake)
  • Star Fox 64 3D (3DS has a lot of remakes, okay?)
  • Bravely Default (Square Enix doing good things again!)
  • Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (Disney characters doing badass things)
  • Shin Megami Tensei IV (Apparently it's super hard. Let's see how hard it is)
  • Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity (Sure I guess)


Wii Games:

  • Muramasa: The Demon Blade (A game that dives into Japanese lore, it looks neat)
  • No More Heroes (Apparently it's foul but amazing)

Xbox 360 Games

  • Tales of Vesperia (I borrowed this game way back but I never got to finish it. Let's finish it!)
  • Sonic Unleashed (Half good, half bad, lets go)
  • Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (Lots of great games for a relatively low price)
  • Banjo and Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts (The duo haven't had a game in a while)

Well there's my Christmas List.

As I stated on my birthday. I make big ones so my parents have lots of choices.

That way, Christmas Shopping is made easy as they can buy what's comfortable, cheap and available.
It feels a bit awkward trying to give impressions on someone's Christmas list since you want what you want, but...

-Unless you've played Sonic Unleashed HD before and know you don't like it, don't go in with the "half bad, half good" mentality. The Werehog is underrated and isn't bad at all from an objective standpoint. His gameplay is well polished and moves are satisfying to land (there's even a Shoryuken move called "Sho-hog-ken") and while the level design isn't always perfect and it has the issue of Sonic not having a drop shadow on darker areas because of the realistic lighting engine, I think it does a really good job at balancing between fighting, exploring, and linear platforming areas. So really, whether or not you like the Werehog is a matter of taste, and not some objectively god awful thing like something that comes from Sonic '06. As for daytime Sonic, it's mostly fine, but if you've played Colours and Generations prior to this, he doesn't control QUITE as well as he does in those games but he still controls fairly well. Sonic Unleashed is easily the most ambitious Sonic title since the Adventure games, for a lot of reasons, so I think it doesn't deserve a "hand wave to the side" treatment. I suppose none of this really matters though since you seem to want it at least for daytime Sonic anyway...but if that's the case, I'd say just get Generations for PC and use the Unleashed Project mod, since you'll get the same stages with better controls as well as other bonuses Unleashed doesn't have (Super Sonic, Classic Sonic, all of the Skills of Generations to customise the two Sonics, Red Star Rings to collect, 60FPS, combining with other mods, etc). It's on sale right now too so it's super cheap.



-Since you have a PS4, you may as well skip Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance since it's getting a HD remaster anyway as part of KH 2.8. The original 3DS game also has issues with frame rate and stuff which the PS4 version most likely won't have and of course a game like this will feel better on a PS4 controller than a 3DS controller. The HD version has been teased to get a few small additions in terms of content too. I'm personally doing this myself, KH DDD is the only game in the series I still haven't played despite catching up recently, as I knew the HD version would come eventually. And since that HD version is being bundled with two brand new KH experiences, it's better value overall too.

-Nuts & Bolts is actually a fairly good game. Don't let purists deceive you. It's nothing like the traditional Banjo-Kazooie games and that probably was a bad idea considering how long people had been waiting for Threeie, but it's still actually quite fun in it's own right, especially just to make the craziest kinds of vehicles you can. This is one of those games where "I didn't even try too hard to go through the story because messing about is so fun". I know you didn't leave any impression on it but I just thought I'd mention it anyway since everyone writes the game off as terrible even though it's actually quite fun in it's own right. It's just nothing like the traditional B-K games so don't expect it to be.

-If you need any help with Amiibos like knowing how rare certain ones are then I can help you there. I have all of the Smash ones and then some.



So yeah the only thing I really would say to take off the list is KH DDD. And that isn't at all because it's a bad game, there is simply going to be an improved version of it on a better value package in the near future for a system you already seem to own, so you can save money by skipping it (you'll probably want 2.8 anyway for the KH3 prologue episode it's gonna have).

Great list in general, though!

Also sorry for the long post.

As for my Christmas list, I'm really not sure what to ask for. Maybe Yoshi's Woolly World and Splatoon but I was planning on saving for those anyway and I'm in no rush to get them, especially since Cloud and other DLC will be coming soon for Smash, and I'm playing Rodea: The Sky Soldier on both Wii and Wii U right now. There is nothing I really want or need in the non-gaming front either this year.

Games. No Question. Guns are...powerful. You literally hold the difference between life and death in your hands. That's way more power than I'd like to give myself, and I'm more comfortable knowing that I don't have that power. I can understand why guns would be/are appealing, most importantly for self-defense. However, there are other forms of self-defense, and I'd prefer those any day of the week. To me, a gun is something that shouldn't be used unless there is no other option, and I'd prefer not to have that option in the first place.

That presentation imo will be sometime between 10-20 to be more specific 14-17.I think having it be in the early 20s is just making people wait to long but what do I know
I'm feeling December 18th for the Presentation. If not that then anywhere from the 11th to the 18th. But the 18th in Particular. IDK why.
I think it will be another two or three weeks.

2013 had a Nintendo Direct on December 19th. I'm assuming this Smash Direct will be around then. Just to close off pre-holidays Nintendo activity.
Maybe not next week but early December for sure.
If the presentation were next week I believe we would've heard it by now.
Alright. Then I got another straw poll for you all just for convenience sake...

So... when do you think the Smash Presentation will be?

I (also) kinda have a feeling that the Smash Bros Presentation will be in early December rather than late, because surely they want the game to sell well this holiday and as such it's better to hype it up earlier in the month than just before Christmas.

To me, a gun is something that shouldn't be used unless there is no other option, and I'd prefer not to have that option in the first place.
Unfortunately, it's an arms race. If there's a reasonable expectation that the bad dudes are gonna have a gun, the first priority is protecting oneself and other people. That often means getting the most effective, long-reaching, quickly-responding platform of defense possible. We also have to keep in mind that, often times, we don't know what the bad guys are gonna be packing.

I understand your reticence. If one doesn't have the proper self-control or discipline, they're more a liability than a security asset.
But that's why there's training. :D
The proper training means anxiety is washed away in the face of practiced movement and situational analysis. With these things, my anxiety vanished.

Speaking of other forms of defense, I've got my CQB training and a live-blade katana~
Cut the webbing of my thumb. It was so gosh darn clean a cut that it healed pronto and bled almost nothing, despite how much it cut. I could even see my muscles! All slimy and white...

God, how I wish it wasn't necessary, but it certainly is in these unsure times.
But, even if not for defense, they're a hobby like skydiving or skiing, really.
The primary focus in any martial art should always be discipline, control, and awareness.

Completely unrelated, but I wonder if somebody has made a mod using Little Mac to create T.J. Combo from Killer Instinct. Yes, the idea came to my head after an avatar/title/location change.

Not sure what I want to put on my Christmas List.

Except three things.
Xenoblade Chronicles X, because new RPG.

Some new socks, because almost all of my current pairs are holey (don't ask).

And snow. SNOW. I always see snow in Christmas specials, but do I ever get it IRL? No. And it sucks.

So yeah, snow.
