Just give me Jigs and I'll never ask for anything again.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

wait you're actually fighting me

okay.

I really haven't heard much praise for Heracross. It's mega is kind of underwhelming and I see it very rarely. And yeah, starter pokemon are usually the most popular of their gen. It doesn't mean others can't be just as popular, though. Not sure about you, but I'd take Lopunny over Blastoise any day, even if I do love Squirtle.

And Google doesn't mean anything. Lopunny's still popular, and Gardevoir's big 4/5 (Used Attract, Flash, Fan Art, Gallade, Trainer Kiss, Human) aren't much better yet she still got in.

You can't really say it's a "rule of cool.". I never saw what was so cool about any of the 3 Kanto starters until Squirtivysaur got into Smash.

Of course it's going to be like Wolf to Krystal, Lopunny's been around for only like 6 years while Blastoise has like 20. The fact Lopunny is so popular is an achievement in itself, I believe. Also, nobody really asked for Pikachu Libre yet he still got in. It's not all about what the pokemon is known for.

EDIT: Just to be sure, I know that Blastoise is popular. But Blastoise and Lopunny really don't have anything to do with each other. I just feel that Lopunny would be more unique because w/ Blastoise we'd have like at least 2 Water while Lopunny would be the first normal.

If your going for unique and normal type, exploud would probably fit better since sound moves are unique among normal

 

[LIQUID12A]

The moment people think Blastoise isn't super popular is the moment youngsters forgot their history.

No.

It's when they declare that shorts are not comfy and difficult to wear that youngsters will have forgotten their history.

yaasss Azumarill

you got some good taste

Maybe I'll treat you tonight...


PsychoIncarnate mhmm yeah that's right more power 2 me because Lopunny is my god, my religion is Lopunism.
i'm sorry

Tbh, I hated Azunarill before
But then I played a Nuzlocke for the first time in Y
I still see his face in my dreams thinking on how I should have healed or switched
He was the real MVP
RIP Abem

No.

I hope Alphard's Corrin video will be called, "How to Choose to Smash 101".
"YOU ARE SUCH A GENERIC SWORDFIGHTER, WORST DLC EVE-"
*Spikes him/her*
"Nope lel"
"It's your fault that you choose that "Fate""

 

[BluePikmin11]

Yo-kai Watch Twitter even posted the news!

There was a problem fetching the tweet

:O

 

[Spazzy_D]

LOL..

Michael "Wrong" Pachter doesn't believe the NX is coming in 2016.

Okay, okay. It could go either way, right? But one of his main reasons?

Third party developers haven't told him they have a dev kit yet. He said, “If any western developer has a dev kit, who knows me, I think they would have told me by now.”

How pretentious can one man be?

Patcher is my hero. I want to make **** up, get quoted on the internet, and get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I must say...

I am really digging the idea of Tails and Chun-Li in the next Smash.

 

[Spazzy_D]

I miss Wolf because he was one of my Brawl mains and because he was a fun villian with a unique moveset.

I also miss him because having a row of 4 newcomers and 3 vets in the desktop view (at standard resolution) on the Smash site is driving me crazy.

I am "digging" the idea of Knuckles personally.

There's someone better than Tails.

He's even been the final boss of a fighting game.
TWICE.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Anyone who believes Patcher is a reliable/dependable person even in the tiniest way is being paid to believe so.

 

[Shadowwolflink]

I wouldn't really consider it notable that more people in Japan saw a Japanese movie than an American movie, especially when the Japanese are notorious for going nuts over exclusive things. That's like making a big deal about more people in Japan buying the new Mario game than the new Halo or something.

That link is filled with gold. The Wii and World of Warcraft quotes in particular are hilarious when you realize when it was he made them.

No words needed

 

[IceBreakerXY]

in regard to Pokken.Greninja is coming it's just a matter of when.Besides him Scizor or heracross would be a good pick.We have little gen 5 content in the game so Zoroark,genesect,terrakion, and for the hell of Garbodor.There's always blastosie and emboar.Luxray would make for another cool quadruped pokemon whose popular.Regigigas would be ok to

 

[NintenZ]

Pff, Eggman, Knuckles, and Tails? Clearly you guys don't know who the best Sonic character would be for Smash,

No mention of Zero in any of these posts. He's been playable in four different fighting games already and he'd be a great fit for Smash, whether it be his Mega Man X or Mega Man Zero design and moveset (or an amalgamation of the two).

Zero would be great, I would really like if it were the Megaman Zero incarnation though.

Amy has been playable in Sonic the Fighters and (Technically) Fighting Vipers, so she'd definetely be an experienced fighter, not to mention she's appeared in every game since CD, and has alot of potential with her Piko Piko Hammer. She's also got a ton of popularity, so I'd say she's next.

 

[Shadowwolflink]

About this NX business, "it isn't coming out soon because no developers have told me about dev kits" is obviously stupid, but I can tell you why the NX won't come out in 2016, the Wii U just got a huge boost in sales in the last year thanks to Smash and Splatoon, specifically the bundle with both games and they still have at least 2 huge releases coming outvin the next year (Star Fox and Zelda). So why the hell would they release a new console now, which would just cannibalize Wii U (and possibly 3DS) profits, when they can wait another year or 2 and get as many sales out of their current systems as possible?

Releasing, and possibly even formally announcing, the NX this year just seems like a bad business decision to me.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

The best sonic character would be metal Sonic.

"I think [selling studios] is not the right move. The first thing the company should do is shut down everything in Europe. Bruno (Bonnell) is out to lunch. ... The guys in the U.S. make games. The guys in Europe just sell them."

No words needed

"Warcraft is so good and so good-looking that it got this immediate attraction; everybody who would ever consider playing an online game said, 'This is the one. I gotta try it.' And what'll happen is inevitably, like the health club model, after you pay your 30 bucks a month for 3 or 4 months and you only go once a week, you realize it's not worth it and you split. That's what will happen with Warcraft ... I think it's going to roll back to a million. I'm not predicting it's going to happen in three weeks; I'd guess it has a half-life of 6 months to a year,"

"I'm not sure that I appreciate why somebody needs an avatar. The question for these guys is, what do they want to be when they grow up?"

"I think the launch lineup is better, and they are at the same price, so assume that Vita is ahead of 3DS for first 3 months."

I could go on all night.

 

[NintenZ]

Amy was playable in FV through hacks. Along with Sonikku and Tairsu.

The best sonic character would be metal Sonic.

Eh, he'd be better as an alt for Sonikku.

 

[Burruni]

Man.
You know what we need?
Something cold and delicious to cool us down after a few salty days.
I know just the solution.

Looks like someone is in dire need of a prrrrrrromotion for this.

Yes, and honestly we'd be lucky to get that...

[Swamp Sensei]

Tails
Zero
Chun-Li
A number of Final Fantasy characters.
Raiden

Really only Pac-Man and Bayonetta don't have good 2nd character choices and before you say anything, yes there is Jeanne but I don't know how she could set apart herself from Bayonetta.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

If Square is getting 2 characters next time I'm hoping it's Geno

He did get a splash screen this time around, even as a costume

 

[Shadowwolflink]

Amy is probably my favourite Sonic character, but there's pretty much zero chance of her ever getting in over Tails, Knuckles, or Robotnik (yeah, his REAL name).

Also, the whole "Sonikku" thing is really cringey, for lack of a better word.

Wanna know the funny thing about puppets?

They burn.

 

[Con0rrrr]

This Yokai thing is very confusing (Referring to the opening weekend).

Every source I'm seeing says Star Wars had the biggest opening weekend of all time in Japan.d Yet Yokai sold more tickets.

Yokai's ticket admission is a lot cheaper, but these numbers are very confusing.

So did Abraham Lincoln, Elijah Wood, and Ice-T, the splash screen doesn't really mean much.

Well one of those ended up turning into a Nintendo character this year so who knows

This video basically started the whole meme.
