I'm all for helping with this plan. Binding Blade sequel? That would be interesting. I really hope we'll see an FE game on the Wii U. SMT x FE could be a test to see how FE might do on the Wii U and to see if there's interest, dunno.
I adore his moveset in Project M given how it not only makes him stand out more from Marth by decloning him a decent bit, even using some movements that relate to the game he originated from, it also fixed up most of his major flaws that he had in Melee, such as his rather poor aerial game despite his magnificent "SHFFL", issues with general flexibility in his move usage, and issues with his sourspot attacks being way too weak. I would definitely like to see something like that for SSB4 Roy at the very minimum (especially the general buffs to his existing attributes). I feel like they could do more to make Roy stand out even further if they put more time into it too, such as give him some more entirely new attacks like a FIHUUUUUR projectile.But that raises the question, why did Ike have Red flames to being with? It had to be somehow related to Roy being cut from Brawl.
I do have a PM question, what do the Roy mains think of Roy's moveset in PM and how he plays compared to Melee? Would you guys say it is a good Luigified moveset? I only keep on saying you guys because my knowledge of Roy is very limited and I can only discuss him as a character, but not on a deep technical level like @dy831532sssfjhhggb2224523 and @
Ura can.
Thanks very much!
There's a lot that went really down with me becoming Roy's fan, and so far it's been quite enjoyable- even developing to my own well-being and confidence. Like discovering how positively I can influence people feedback to get better and find new life in things they love (such as me talking to one Marth X Roy-fanartist). So yeah. I kinda can see on both sides of the coin as not fully becoming a fan until maybe last year or so, which is why I went with this assumption But being a fan isn't difficult - but it's kind of peculiar that Roy apparently is very unpopular and unappealing at first glance according to fandoms he's in, but then is shown to have quite a massive fanbase that really loves him, and good reasons are there to back it up. It's like Roy is less extreme, but older version of Chrom in Smash-fandom (Roy-jokes + overall hate going years back), but bolstering more good qualities (not a blue-haired swordsman *cough, can be semicloned or even made completely different from other lords in Smash, is the best representative to Elibe-saga and GBA-saga in general, also he provided further steps onward to revive FE after Shouzou Kaga left, etc) and positive window to becoming a fighter (+ being a veteran).
I sometimes feel bad for Big Purple Dragon of Doom's fans, for just how much they're still denied who they wish to see, and keep being a laughing stock among the community in the meantime. Sakurai's own statements doesn't help, as much as he provided a reasonable explanation on why he can't make Ridley work and be as great as he wants him to be.
There was this one time I absolutely resented Robin's fans and even Robin himself for getting confirmed: because not only Chrom's fans didn't have to deal with millions of "Chrom Deconfirmed/FalconPunched/Friendzoned/-jokes, but we also had to deal with people making fun of the fans themselves for even "putting faith/support" on him, and what else complete toxic bull**** that went down. There was this Robin-fan who liked all my posts about me wanting to see Chrom in Smash after he got deconfirmed, out of irony-induced comedy. It really, really hurt my feelings, even if I talked down on him about it.
While I later discovered it was due Chrom's "supporters" in mix of real fans being absolutely mean-spirited and pulling superiority card on them, the way Robin-fans retaliated was unneeded and just inbeneficial to the community's growth, considering how I predicted how just far and as of now completely the blows on Chrom would settle in and render him to the deserving unpopular character that is just used as a fangirl bait/play-toy. The kicker to all this was that I genuinely liked Chrom and wanted him to pop in with a good appearance in Sm4sh ... and was joyfully surprised when Robin exhibited his skills, bringing in magic from FE-games, as they were my favorite thing.
Nowadays I can't even watch Robin's trailer because it seems to open the wound I was inflicted with all the toxic posts and acts on me as Chrom's supporter. Might sum it with beginning of this video clip:
(00:00 - 00:27: The monkey being Robin-fans. Also more Gumball, sorry)
At the end, Chrom hasn't ever come back on his former glory since his deconfirmation, and has become merely a secondary character to Robin and Lucina in basically all newcomers to FE:A + designated to being an iconic example of "bland stock FE-lord", while also serving as a massive fandom clown by his voice actor, Smash Bros 4, and even his character designer alike (with Chrom getting a sidestory of being in space being a blatantApril Fools-joke and the picture of Lucina realizing she was confirmed, while Chrom was left pulling a shocked comedic face).
But it's not like I was alone. Ridley's fans have to deal with this, Daisy's fans had to deal with this, Mewtwo's fans had to formerly deal with this... at the end, it has turned Smash-games into a toxic fandom war along with being presented as a popularity contest. I'm honestly done with that, for it keeps deterring me enjoying Smash Bros and it's characters NOT playable being also done with lots of love and effort put in (even Chrom, who I honestly think is understated with how much has been put on him for being reasonably not working in Smash), because the fandom makes it such a big and petty deal, or creates cringe comedy out of it that seems to never end, and might as well sum the entire series.
For this reason, I really wish to request that we all refrain from repeating the same mistake most of the fans have done when getting their character confirmed, as to spare the potential toxic attitude that seems to brew too hard around this otherwise amazing series. It has left many people with emotional scars and perhaps plain apathy because being enthusiastic and passionate about what you like when considering Smash playing a very nasty version of lottery.
We have to finally show that there's a fanbase that show clear maturity and sheer joy for the inclusion of their character WITHOUT being in expense of other people. It's funny to those who don't really care about their characters or have mostly carefree sense of humor, but when there's passionate fans, they'll be potentially be left almost destroyed out of any love to their character who didn't become a fighter (incase the toxic responses are really elaborate and all over the place)
The best amusement we can get is by watching Roy's detractors squirm out of sheer hate or trying to talk sweet to us after all the flack they threw on our boy. Not only it'll "taste sweeter", but we also get to witness the massive influence and power Roy has upon Smash Bros's entire fanbase, whether it's detractors having to potentially admit they were wrong or insightful about Roy's potential that we can forgive upon (and by going how well Sakurai and his team has done the characters up to this point, I'm confident they'll see how great Roy can be done, incase he's more than a clone), or more Roy's quiet supporters finally gathering in together to celebrate the Young Lion of Lycia.
So yeah. Please, let's show maturity in this fandom, and have silent drinks at all the final tears thrown while we watch from the above. And also joke as much as we want in our parts aboutbeing the new "Roy" in "Roy-jokes.
But only when we have the clear road on our way to victory, which isn't still anytime soon visible. It's time to keep on going.
I loved that part. It's stuff like that that makes me love Roy even more. I also liked his support conversations where he said that if he had to sacrifice one of his allies to win a battle then it wasn't really a victory.
I know it sure got my attention. Personally, I dig the futuristic setting and standardized RPG feeling. Plus, I want to have more reasons to use those Fire Emblem Amiibos.
I was fairly disappointed, due to it looking like it'll use the FE name for nothing but profit. Just seems like another Atlus game to me. I'll still play it, since I like those kinds of games, and it'll have some FE throwbacks, but a Binding Blade sequel would fill the void for a core Fire Emblem experience and bring out the best of the Wii U's hardware for a true Fire Emblem title.
Aye... I thought the idea was pretty cool until I saw the trailer and... Any sort of interest or excitement I might have had dropped like a stone. I might look into it a little more as more gets revealed just to see if it might not be as horrifically horrific as the trailer makes it out to be. I haven't really played SMT before and don't play too much FE, but I was still interested in how it'd turn out... And this is not how I wanted it to turn out.
This is why I would rather wait until we have a lot more info, or I actually play the game to make my final judgment.
Well, if you really need to vent and rub it in and like post something... if Roy's confirmed, we could create like a Smash 4 Roy Skype group (probably gonna happen anyway). Then you could go crazy all you want.
Well yeah. We shouldn't really go rub it on people's faces in a way that feels like we won some bet and they should feel bad for losing that bet.
I already have it made for the day. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
T-that's beautiful. I don't know if this is an alternate universe anymore. *calls to mother*
He's right in the beginning... That's not Doug... I'm right here.
It's more along the lines of "Smash tournament with items." All the other games exclude items just as much as Melee in tournament, it's a gentleman's clause thing whenever anyone touches items. Plus the only items sets I know are from Melee.MELEE TOURNAMENT
WITH ITEMS?
There's tons of random Roys in tournaments, and Sethlon & Lunchables are known for Roy dittos every time they play, but what makes this special is being a Melee Grand Finals with Roy. Roy is decent but most of Roy's playerbase in Melee that ends up on stream is bad. If you ever want to see more Roy in tournament, search "melee roy" on YouTube by upload date every week or two.
This made my whole week as well lmao. Big Blue tech ftw!
Yeah, I know that there's quite a few Roys in tournament. But... it's Melee, and there are items... Roy dittos in grand finals. POKEFLOATS...
It was actually grand finals of the Project M weekly here in Dallas, they just Gentleman's Clause agreed to play it on Melee with outlandish rules for fun.
Whoa, reminds me of when they still held 3DS stuff in CO the day of Wii U release, and everyone opted to play on the Wii U instead. Never had anything quite like that, I thought they seriously pushed PM back judging from the commentary when I was looking for Melee Roy sets this morning.
Strong Badam
, what are you guys doing on a sm4sh Roy DLC thread?
That was actually a PM Tournament where the 2 finalist gentlemened to Melee for a laugh.
Strong Badam
, do you also search Lunchables each week to see if he's talked about? Is it DFW tradition?
If that's the case, then I can easily imagine Mother 3 with a T rating since it already happened with Earthbound. Definitely going to be on my "To buy" list if it were to be true.
I'm taking that image with a grain of salt. I do not believe or disbelieve it. I do believe that Nintendo would be incredibly stupid to not release Mother 3 here, so I have faith in a VC release regardless of whether there's leaks or not.
That's interesting. A lot more Japanese influence yeah.
It sounds~ like they were considering releasing FE6 way back then, but "the story was too difficult" so they went against it. Think like what happened with Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.
That's what I'm getting too, but of course I would prefer a more accurate translation for the whole thing, especially what they say after it.
