Codename STEAM is a blast so far.

Didn't get to experience much new that wasn't in the demo yet but I have tried the Fire Emblem characters. They're all very good units.

No.

a. The fact Bayonetta is getting in means it wouldn't matter anyway.

b. Corrin would have been chosen over Cross/Elma regardless because of this little tidbit that I've previously stated when I briefly discussed about Zygarde:
Sakurai did mention perfect timing with Corrin's inclusion, so I guess that answers the question.

One issue.
:4corrin::4bayonetta: being worked on co-currently. Taking a similar amount of workload, especially with both having two fully functional model variants. IF ANYTHING, Bayonetta came first because she required liscencing in terms of choosing.
Presumably, they've known that they would have the T rating range from near the start if not the very start of the work for whatever promotional character they would've chosen.
She was the ballot character she would've likely been chosen by September when the number of slots in the Smash data increased by one.

...I would've SWORN I saw a T rating in that Smash direct
It definitely did say "RP - T" at the beginning of the Direct.

I dunno if the game's rating has changed or if the Bayonetta content is just rated T.

It was RP-T in the Smash Direct.
The thing is, it could be explained by the fact that they showed Fire Emblem Fates footage which is slated to get a T rating I believe.

Well.
See.
I saw the RP-T rating at the start
And Bayonetta.
I think my mistake is one that's simple to make, as I never went back to seeing the individual trailer.

I should note that there hasn't been any sign of the PEGI (European) Rating going up.

Though I don't see how it could since the game is already 12+ which is equivalent to the ESRB's T Rating.

Yeah.
The CERO and PEGI ratings were effectively for Teens already.
The ESRB rating of E-10+ was the one that raised the most flags.

Wouldn't the RP stand for Fates more than anything?

As far as I know, Fates hasn't been rated yet.

Maybe sakurai raised it to t rating

His is, after all, in the direct but not the trailers

Damn, one of the raffle prizes is a SFV arcade stick.

I've used those ones before they came out and they feel so comfortable and easy to use.
So, it's a short stick

I don't think you raise an ESRB rating of a game through DLC.

I know for Injustice: Gods Among Us, the Lobo DLC adds tobacco use to the rating, but I'm pretty sure the ESRB won't allow a rating to get bumped up/down.

Pretty sure the trophy isn't even IN the Japanese/European version to add to that.

So.
I wanna share something absolutely silly that happened last year with a few friends.
It was a fairly late night Skype call of about 5 people.
At least some parties were most likely drunk to some extent.
And the challenge came up.

Someone starts a song, and then you try to cut them off by leading into another song's lyrics that "flow together," and judged kinda on a case by case thing if it's too off to properly fit. Winner is whoever goes a sufficient amount without being challenged. Once agian, case-by-case.

There was a bonus to it.

Has to be a Sonic the Hedgehog song. And you can't use a song that's already been used.

I replayed that session a few times through my head at work until I remembered how it went.
And yes, these are all official lyrics (or at least we thought they were)

"Rolling a-round at the speed of sound. Got places to go, got to FOLLOW MY RAIN-BOW! Can't stick around, have to keep moving on. Guess what lies ahead? ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT!"
"LIVE AND LEARN! Hanging on the edge of tomorrow! LIVE AND LEARN! From the works of yesterda~ay!"
"Oh, I might know of our future. But you still control the past here. Only you know if we'll be together, tonight."
"SO I'M GONNA REACH... FOR THE STARS.... TONIGHT! I've got it in my sight. The colors feel so bright! Got my feet off the ground. I'll keep on ru-nning!"
"What goes up, must come down. Here my feet don't touch the ground. Feelin' the world spinnin' upside-down! A mighty crash without a sound!"
"SONIC BO~OM! SONIC BO~OM! Danger keeps you running faster!"
"FASTER, FASTER, F-F-F-FASTER! Rollin' round at the speed of sound. Quickest Hedgehog a-round. Got ourselves a si-tu-a-tion. Stuck in a new lo-ca-tion. Without a~any ex-pla-na-tion. No time for re-lax-a-tion!"
"I'd rather flex my muscles. I'm hard as nails; it ain't hard to tell. I break em weither they solid or frail. Independant from my first breath. First left, feel the right, then the worst left! Born on an island, IN, the hea-vens."
"I WANNA FLY HIGH! Mmmmmmmm. I just gotta believe in myself and se~e!"
"The possibilities are NEVER ENDING! I see it, I see it now. It's always been inside of me."
"OPEN YOUR HEART, AND YOU WILL... SE~E! ... Shadows of dark creatures."
"ALL HAIL SHADOW! Heroes rise again! O-blit-er-a-ting anything that's not your friend!"
"Brave-hearted he-ro. Black-hearted e-vil. I am all I am all I am."
"I am the Eggman! That's what I am! I am the Eggman! I've got the master plan!"
"Race to win! Race to win! Race to win!"
"I'll show you what true speed i~is. Riding on the waves of super sonic."
"Super Sonic Racing!"
"Kicking ass fast, putting on a show! The pressures of this world, they can take their toll. The only way to break free is to break the mold. Ya can't stop now, lock 'n' load! Don't stop now, c'mon! Rock 'n' Roll!"
"ROCK THAT SUCKER TO DEATH, YEAH! ROCK THAT SUCKER.."
"Trapped in this Machine! Don't know how long we've waited, as the Eggman watches.."
"SONIC UNDERGROUND!"
"Living in the City!"
"It doesn't matter... now what happens who is wrong or right!"
"Throw it all away! ... You see a light wherever you go."
"Into the heat of da~ay. Like a knight, I fight, until the fight is won!"
"You know me, the fight freak Knuckles. We're in pumpkin hill! You ready? I'm not let it get to me, I'm just gonna creep. Here in Pumpkin Hill I gots to find my lost piece. I know that it's here; I sense it in my feet. The Great Emerald's power allows me to feel."
"CAN YOU FEEL THE SUNSHINE?! DOES IT BRIGHTEN UP YOUR DAY?!"
"Is it me? You said. You're looking for? Let me show you who I am."
"I do understand the feelings of a persian cat. (The Sphinx looks so cute. I have to shave it)."
"UP AND DOWN AND ALL AROUND! UP AND DOWN AND ALL AROUND!"
"Blue Streak. Speeds By. Sonic the Hedge-hog! Too fast, for the na-ked e~eye. Sonic the Hedge-hog! SONIC! He can really move! SONIC! He's got an attitude! SONIC! He's the fastest thing alive. He's the fastest thing alive. HE'S THE FASTEST THING ALI~IVE!"

At this point. Everyone was too exhausted from trying... or were too busy laughing at how stupid it got. And we had out winner.
The only lyrical songs I think we missed are Rouge's theme for SA2, Big's theme in SA1, and the themes for Rush & Rush Adventure.

I remember arguing that, considering Tharja's trophy was removed for being too risqué, Bayonetta would never make it in since she had more sex appeal than her.

How wrong I was. :laugh:

Still, I wonder what led to Bayonetta's inclusion being okay, but not Tharja's trophy. That said, they did tone down Bayonetta quite a bit, though she still has a lot of sex appeal. Did the rating boards loosen their criteria over the last year or something?

Well, I guess that different people work on reviewing games at the rating boards, so some subjectivity may be a factor. I'd say it's unrealistic to assume all games are analyzed by the same group of people considering there are always many games being released and checking an entire game's content can be time consuming.

There's a possibility that whoever said that Tharja wasn't OK may have not reviewed Bayonetta's inclusion in Smash, someone else giving the OK to not up the game's classification.

Well, just food for thought. I'll be off now.

I just saw Fire Emblem X Persona the musical.

This...

What?

Just what?

Admittedly neat vocals though. Would have been better as a standalone vocal track though. Red guy has the best voice honestly.

Where they put it is......

Why?

Who are these people?

What's going on?

Why does Tiki look like a dead fish?

I mean I love musicals. Opossum Opossum knows that.

But...

What is this?

I'm not mad. Just.... what?

Ah well. Fire Emblem fans have Fire Emblem Fates to enjoy. Shin Megami Tensei fans though... I'm sorry.

Honestly, as someone who is completely neutral on #FE I still think the music is pretty damn catchy.

Maybe people will care if I open the guesses again.

What game am I playing next?

It's an Namco game on Wii U or Xbox 360.

You can ask yes or no questions.
