Sceptile looks amazing.
I made this a while back, calling sceptile I might add. The top ones are the base roster, the bottom ones are honorable mentions/DLC. Each type is represented at least once, and each gen is represented at least twice.

BlinkFeed seems to have stopped showing actual news. Now it's just Facebook posts from friends.

The most active of which happens to be a furry and let's just say that he's been more open lately.

I don't mind if people like that stuff but I'd rather not see it all over my BlinkFeed.

So when this direct starts, the ballot would have ended 2½ months ago. That should be PLENTY of time for results.

And found this elsewhere:



And Sceptile looks pretty neat!

I've got a feeling for Isaac.

Never cared for Isaac.

Never played Golden Sun.

Never gave a **** about him.

But I feel it in the force. Also Inklings. A Shovel Knight STAGE.

And... and... oh god.... RIDL-----
I'm still feeling Shovel Knight for some reason. I don't know why. Push brought up the interesting thought of Shovel Knight being an American pick, and being sold alongside Cloud, who's more of a Japanese pick. I'm also feeling Inklings, for some reason something about them strikes me as already worthy of being in Smash. I can imagine Sakurai initially overlooked them, and maybe went back and is now adding them into the game.

That's funny. From everything I've been seeing on "Japanese Reactions" to Cloud, they think he is a more American pick. Interesting. No one knows what the **** he is.

I remembered the hype over the "type triangle" in Smash after Greninja and Charizard's trailer. I couldn't help getting hyped for Sceptile, even though I was telling myself not to fall for these kinds of things.

Pokkén Tournament Sceptile character reveal trailer has officially dropped!
Sceptile looks really good, I love how they incorporated his speed, attacks and jungle elements into his moveset. For instance, the particular move where he hangs from a vine to dodge was pretty neat touch, and while it probably will look out of place in some stages, it fits him perfectly.

I'll probably give him a shot once the game hits the Wii U since I tend to go for speedy characters.

I think the real question this image raises is

Is that Mario or Doctor Mario?

Now that I think about it, who is Doctor Mario? Is he Mario's alter-ego? Or that one brother no one likes to talk about?
He's the third brother who stayed behind in Brooklyn and decided instead to get a medical degree and open his own clinic in the Mushroom Kingdom that was grossly lacking in health care at the time.

But that doesn't differentiate Dr. Mario since Mario is Jumpman...

I once read a theory that stated Dr. Mario is Mario and Luigi's father, I can't remember any of the details though.

Also, I looked it up and Snorlax totally is a bear.

I edited this post to appease the mods with a custom censor, got lazy and frustrated with GIMP half way through (like what is even layers and NO TEXTBOX NOT THERE, STAY 12 POINT FONT) and just blacked out the bad words
Real shame, I would've gotten more creative and silly as time went on.
So, "nimrod" isn't a bad word that could be flagged as censor dodging, right?
Don't want to get infracted

Fun Fact:

Nimrod was the name of a famous hunter, Bugs Bunny used it as a sarcastic jab at Elmer Fudd, then somehow the general public came to know it as a synonym for moron.

So I was just listening to Undertale remixes on Youtube and found this one guy who, coincidentally, did my two favorite themes from the game, and IMO they're really good remixes. :p

It's also kinda cool that my two favorite themes in the game belong to my two favorite characters. :laugh:

Why did Muffet get the special treatment of being one of the monsters that changes your soul color?

That makes her one of the 6 special bosses

I'd like to think that the Wii Fit Trainers are a bit of a Nurse Joy/Officer Jenny case. Basically, tons of girls and boys who look like each other, with a couple having a minor difference, but all who specialize in the same job, hobby, etc. Would something be wrong with that headcanon?

If I had to make a guess, I'd say it was the Snake amiibo image that was making the rounds a while back. It was jokingly billed as a leak, used a PM pose, and got retweeted by both Konami and Kojima.

If these posts have any believability, it's the only one that comes to mind.
