Living abroad really opens your mind, and shows that everything isn't as black and white as Disney movies would lead you to believe.

As for the military question...I support some of the military and some of their causes. It's really a case by case situation.

Most of the people who join the military are somewhat led to that lifestyle due to their socio-economic status, or having a family history with the military. I was seriously thinking about joining the military at some point because, both. So I support most of the members of the military because in the end they probably didn't have much of a choice and it sucks to get shot at. However, I also support other people in other jobs -- like firefighters, policemen, doctors, teachers, fast food workers, etc. Just because those professions aren't as "honorable" doesn't mean they deserve any less respect. As long as people try their hardest with their job, the community should support them, regardless.

In the end, the military is maintained to protect a countries' sovereignty. Every country has the right to a military as that's the only way it could realistically protect itself and its interest. I support some of the causes that the military engages in, but not all. I remember watching Shock and Awe on CNN and thinking that it was aweful. (Sorry for the pun)

TBH: Most people are kind of afraid of saying 'I don't support the military' as if someone says that then they are painted as a traitor. I think that's not healthy, as it's attempting to curb free speech just because it's not agreeable. If you don't support the military or the causes then the you have every right to say so. That's part of free-speech.

I've been President Ivysaur since before you were on this site.

You're nothing but the president of a small company that sells knickerbockers which are very neat, I must say.

I kinda want to see all of the Smash Pokemon get in. One of my best friends adores Greninja so I hope he gets in at least.

As far as patriotism goes, I don't really have any of that in me and I don't think I ever could. I'm...just my own person I guess. I don't need to represent a country and I don't need a country to represent myself.

Still hoping for Sylveon or Bisharp.

I don't really mind who else gets in.
Same here, mostly because Gardevoir is already in the game and my favorite (Porygon2) probably has no chance. I'm hoping we get some fifth and sixth gen. Pokemon though, just for variety's sake.

In other news, I ordered Splatoon a couple of days ago and should hopefully get it before the Pizza/Burgers Splatfest. I was terrible at the demo, mostly because I'm terrible at shooters, but I think I should have some fun with it. In the meantime, I've been listening to Splattack and the Final Boss theme a ton to get hyped ready for it.

Actually there's two legends.

But, if anyone, I would like the third legend to be Zygarde.

Yup, I forgot about Mewtwo, and edited my post after realizing that.

How would Zygarde work? Would it shift between its different formes?

Hmm...now I sort of want Rotom to be playable in Pokken...

At the pace Indivisible's funding is rising I think it'll be funded either late tomorrow or around mid-day on Wednesday.

Who wants to bet tomorrow Miiverse will be like "Alright, it's now December. Now where the **** is my Smash Direct???"
I expect it on Twitter.

Something like that yeah.

Making switch between his Dog and Snake forms for certain moves and combos, goes Perfect Mode in Burst Mode. I haven't really given it much thought, but I'd still like to see what they could do.

Hopefully it's Pikachu in another stupid ass outfit. Why include one of the other 700-something choices when we could just have another Pikachu after all?

This time I hope he's a fireman.

Do Pokken character teasers use the "WARNING! CHALLENGER APPROACHING!" thing normally?

If not, then them using it in this instance could hint at it being a character from Smash, so Greninja and Jigglypuff.

I own guacamelee now. . I wont play it for awhile though :p
Thought of actual pokken characters I would want that aren't dumb.

Electevire and vespiquen. Ok vespiquen is still a bunch of bias but electevire would fit easy.
At the pace Indivisible's funding is rising I think it'll be funded either late tomorrow or around mid-day on Wednesday.

This is however the first time i've thought this thing has had a chance. I'm changing from utter pessemism to excitement. Hopefully it doesn't bite me
im serious though. If im not around or im asleep tag the **** out of me

"No good 1st party left"

This is a funny post. K. Rool and Inklings got Mii'd? Not even gonna argue with that horrible logic. Isaac represents an unrepped series and is a very popular vote fanpoll wise. Bandana Dee and Paper Mario are very popular fanpoll wise as well. All 5 of them are very major to Nintendo's history as well in some way. Though I don;'t think Inkling will be getting in for better reasons then "Mii costume".

Sorry, but they're more likely then all 3 of those 3rd parties you listed.

Apologies if this is harsh.
nah not to harsh tbh i dont find most things you say harsh.However yes i think the fact k rool and inklings got mii costumes means there deconfirmed.I can't see why they would bother making mii costumes for characters there just gonna add later it seems stupid.Inklings they could get a past and i wouldn't be that surprised but i sticking to my guns and saying there deconfirmed.And as stated multiple times i think couple of times by you yourself fanpolls mean nothing.especially seeing as they target a small target of the fanbase.Most people didn't even know who shulk was when he was revealed yet alone isaac whose particularly a forgotten character at this point(keep in mind i would very much like isaac before any 3rd party).LEt's be honest if your gonna sell DLC to appeal to a large auidence would you honestly think would sell more and be received more positively Tails/Bomberman or Bdee/paper mario.Nintendo needs to save some of their characters for the next smash game that's why i think they should just use some one and done 3rd parties for DLC.And save there other characters for next time.And yeah there more likely than 3rd parties but at this point in DLC we've only gotten 3rd party characters as newcomers

ps:ignore many grammer errors phone is stupid

Steam Greenlight really needs to be more strict since this plagiarism is stupidly common.

But it's Valve, I'm probably demanding too much considering they can't even count to three and allowed crap like Air Control on Steam at some point.

Why is there not a Heihachi Pikachu costume yet? Now that is one heck of a missed opportunity there, Frankly I would have liked to have seen that over luchador Pikachu as an Akuma-like secret boss

Here's a list of characters I think are possible:

1. Inklings
2. Wolf
3. Shovel Knight
4. Snake
5. Banjo-Kazooie
6. A couple clones

I expect this update to be massive. It's the last one, after all. Three characters at least.
I expect two more unannounced characters at the most.

If we are going to get a veteran, it's going to be Wolf. I feel Snake missed his window long ago, and Konami has other issues to fix well before he returns again. And with all that, I say Wolf has about a 25% chance of happening.

As far as 1st parties go, I don't think we are getting anymore. If any were to happen, I'd say Inklings, K Rool, or Isaac are the only ones with a realistic chance at this point, and even they aren't looking good. I'd say theres about a 10% for either of them happening at this point.

Mainly I expect two more third parties. One popular character from the ballot such as:

Shovel Knight
Banjo
Rayman
(I'd say Simon/Bomberman, but the same thing for Snake applies here).

And another shocking preplanned 3rd party character, along the lines of Ryu and Cloud. Someone like Masterchief, Doom Guy, Sora, Lara Croft, Gordan Freeman, etc. Usually anyone would say these aren't realistic, but a few months ago, I'd say the same for Ryu and Cloud, and here we are, thus I expect someone from left field.

There should not be more 3rd party characters than Mario and Pokemon characters. Also will they bring all these 3rd partys back for the next game? As for Snake I have a theory, if they wanted Snake in, don't you think they would have asked for him during smash 4's development? My guess is something happened between Konami and Nintendo that made Nintendo not want to add Snake, (Lack of games for wii u). Meanwhile Square and Capcom are starting to become better partners with Nintendo, so they get rewarded. I still don't think Rayman will happen solely because of the BS Ubisoft pulled with Nintendo. Only companies that improve their relationships and become good partners with Nintendo should be in the running to have a character in smash.

Fun Question time.

If you could have one more rep from every 3rd party SERIES who would

A) You want?

B) You put in based on iconicness, relevancy, popularity.

Mega Man includes all his series, Final Fantasy includes all it's games. Can say none if you don't think it's applicable

A)
Sonic-Knuckles
Mega Man-Zero
Pac Man-None
Street Fighter-M Bison
Final Fantasy-Kain Highwind

B)
Sonic-Dr Eggman
Mega Man-Zero
Pac Man-Ms Pac Man (probably better as an alt though)
Street Fighter-Chun-Li
Final Fantasy-Either Black Mage or Sephiroth

So here's a theory in case there's nothing Smash related at the VGAs.

Sm4sh U's year anniversary in Japan is this Sunday. So in a way it would make a modicum of sense to make a Smash presentation around the day Japan got the game, whether it be a day or so before or after said date. Admittedly, I argued this for the November Direct and was wrong(by 8 days), but you never know.

Mostly because some people believe that only another 3rd party could live up to Cloud's reveal.
This is a character who surpasses Cloud in every way,
