Oh, that's actually really Rad-er, Red.
I haven't played this game yet, but I want to.

Also I love how every subsequent guest Incarnation revealed is "the final one".

The game is mocking me.

What's up everybody? What's the latest? Any predictions on when we're getting the Smash Bros Presentation?

Now I have to beat the Rock gym
I wonder which couple should I use...

Ganondorf lines for his side and down taunts:
Side taunt: "Come, you fool!"
Down taunt: "This dreaded blade? ... I won't need it to destroy you!"

And more win quotes:
Ganondorf vs. Ryu: "A shame that you don't give into your true power..."
Ganondorf vs. Robin: "My magic powers are far stronger than yours. You can now regret your folly."
Ganondorf vs. Ganondorf: "Someone had the gall to create a copy of me? Remarkably entertaining."
Ganondorf vs. R.O.B.: "Your defiance shall not go unanswered!"
Ganondorf vs. Toon Link (fighting on Pirate Ship): "I will restore this world to its former glory. I won't let you stop me."
Ganondorf vs. Zelda (fighting in Gerudo Valley): "You will now understand how unforgiving the desert can be."
Ganondorf vs. Roy: "An inexperienced swordsman such as you cannot ever hope to defeat me, no matter how powerful his blade may be!"
Ganondorf vs. Ness: "Your powers are impressive, kid, but futile against me."
Ganondorf vs. Ike: "You say you defeated a goddess? Tell me another joke!"

Well, I think that's enough Ganondorf gloating for now.

 

[Champ Gold]

I like doing these quotes



vs: "You dark powers are no match for the goddess of light"

vs:"If those F-Zero racers are as fast as you are then they must be really slow"

vs:"I've never seen someone move this gracefully. Who's your trainer?"

vs:"I think you and me understand what's truly big and small in the world"

vs"Your fighting prowess is magnificent. I would another a spar with you another day"

GET CRIT SKRBL0RD! CHA-CHING THIS! D : <
In other news, my mother enjoyed Wreck-it Ralph despite not liking vidya gaemz

 

[Arcanir]

In other news, I was looking over at Serenes and apparently the new "Making of Fire Emblem" book came out. Some details have leaked about the games and they're pretty interesting so far:

Spoiler

-The CERO rating was only because of the Camilla scene.
-FE64 was called "Maiden of Darkness", implying that FE6 was the game being made for the N64 system, not FE9.
-Apparently the Fire Emblem Amie feature was even worse in early development, you could rub lower then the face and the icon was a hand rather then a pen. Nintendo said "nope", and what we see is the result of the changes they went through.

"Hates to lose."

She wasn't kidding.

Anna confirmed to really be Severa.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Some people are thinking we might see Smash news at the VGA. While it would be nice, I'm not holding my breath.

Plus I have doubts the Smash Direct will be on December 6 (the day the Wii U Smash released in Japan last year).

I'm betting halfway through December.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Anna confirmed to really be Severa.

I'm not THAT ******...

 

[aldelaro5]

Ok I just watched the gamexplain video on them talking with one of the reviewer (gave a 7.5, but it felt particularly legit for that score) and I have to say: best review so far:

By this I mean it is the most representative of what i think the game is. The ONLY thing I will disagree is them talking like saying SS is 100% garbage or soemthing, I think it's more 75-80% bad......but I wouldn't say the entire game is bad, the overall, I woudl say it is, but not the whole game.

Every points in there even the negative one seems really what the game woudl become when you actually play it. At least the guy said that just for the paper mario side, it's above SS, a thing that I found obvious, but not much mentioned.

Basically, the story is really not deep, don't expect spm (heck not even pm64 with how the reviews are looking as pm64 was the classic story, but much better). The writting however, in itself, I keep hearing really good stuff and for that, i hope both humor style are there.

What I find very interesting is the combat, it's almost agreed that most likes the paper mario sides......maybe it's a conspiracy to make Paper Mario shine?

.....anyway, I keep hearing good stuff about bosses which is what I shoudl hear because m&l sort of has the reputation to have amazing boss battles like smrpg did.

But these missions, man, it sounds worse then my complain on the SS canvas for the world and npc. The most interesting point in the video is the guy basically don't understand why they make the game as user friendly as possible in terms of logistic, but the flow is........really unbalanced because of the missions. I mean, tbh, it doesn't mean the game WILL become bad, heck sms had like hundreds of blue coins because it ended up rushed and tbh, it was quite a bit fun overall anyway.

I wouldn't call the game rushed however, not with all these great comments on the writting and mechanics, soemthing SS failed so badly I crumpled myself

But yeah, i feel honestly that this game would ahve received a much better reception if SS didn't exist because if I take SS out of the picture, it seems a great game but since SS exist, it feels more like a good game, I woudl like it, but I shoudln't expect the mind blown that spm and oh god TTYD gave (I would never expect mind blown like TTYD because that one was special.....).

News flash amigo: Speculation has always sucked.
Now that it's been proven that nobody has any clue what we're getting, it doesn't know what to do with itself and just starts throwing out character ideas at random in hopes of finding one that won't fall off of SAKURAI'S WILD RIDE.

Well Cutie Gwen definitely isn't flat now. She is literally a sphere with arms.

OPTIMUS PRIME

1. It means small
2. Ajna is not my waifu. I have no waifu.
3. Zebae is as close as i will get
4. Cant get sent to prison if you dont get caught

 

[Freduardo]

Two DLC characters? Brian(Quest 64) and Wolf(Star Fox), of course.

Brian? Odd, I remember that character as Quayle. Huh, it's totally Brian. Apparently Ayron in PAL regions.

Don't know where I got Quail from. I think it was cause he had the quail haircut.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

Anyway, I wanted to ask what you guys think of Mario Golf World Tour. I'm thinking about getting, but I'm not sure if I should.

Speculation was never sane to begin with. Though not all speculation is as terrible as the General DLC thread is now. It was good, once upon a time.

Speculation has gone to ****, there are people whinning that other niche characters are in the game, including Japan's most wanted character who got in, and that Geno should be given a chance

Hopping on the victory quotes bandwagon.

I was looking at the DLC list and I got to thinking. So far there's 20 Mii costumes based off of other, non playable characters and 9 (10 as there's two Monster Hunter armours) from 3rd party series

Spoiler: da list

Mega Man X*
Proto Man*
Dunban
Isabelle
Zero*
Megaman.EXE*
Inkling
Akira*
Jacky*
Heihachi*
K.K. Slider (Totakeke)
King K. Rool
Flying Man
Chrom
Black Knight
Lloyd*
Toad
Viridi
Monster Hunter*
Other Monster Hunter*

So 10 Nintendo characters are represented as costumes but not fighters

Dunban, Isabelle, Inklings, K.K. Slider, King K. Rool, Flying Man, Chrom, Black Knight, Toad and Viridi.

If they work as costumes, what prevents them from working as full characters?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

You know, I think these win quotes have great potential. I'll do some tomorrow I guess

 

[Chrono.]

All the new Smash speculation tells me is that people don't really know much about video game history in the first place.

By this I mean, people who suddenly think everyone has a chance now thanks to Cloud, when he was a character that was always obvious but we dismissed.

I thought Geno was a pipe Dream in 2007 and I still think he's a pipe dream.

 

[Shroob]

Source?!?!

A guy on Neogaf posted his Cloud hint a day before the Direct, but called Cloud "Luke Skywalker", and the Midgar Stage "Bespin Station".

A guy on Gamefaqs said his "Uncle worked for Nintendo" and that Cloud would be revealed in the Direct hours before it happened.

Heihachi was apparently the Namco rep at some point but they went with Pac-Man instead and then got Ryu is the fighting game rep.

Toad doesn't really work IMO since generic Toads are too, well...generic. But I voted for Captain Toad.

Probably something like "these characters are popular, but not THAT popular. A fighter would be a bit of a stretch so ill throw them a bone"

Except Viridi who was given to me because Sakurai loves me.
