Social The Rosalina General/Social Thread: 2nd Edition

[IvanQuote]

The main problem that I've had with Petey Piranha was how big his head is, which can be a problem if you're trying to see what's ahead. Anyway, in terms of new gimmicks, I really don't know what else can be implemented onto the series. I do know that Mario Kart DS didn't offer any new gimmicks outside of the pointless Items stat.



You're referring to the Shooting Star, right? It can be rather disturbing how North America and the PAL regions sometimes use completely different names for their contents.

I was not at all a fan of that DS item system. Also with regard to gimmicks, I am speaking about any element in the game I guess. Because I like making lists, I'll mention new elements each game brought:
SMK: First
MK64: Courses have differences in the Y axis now (3D).
MK SC: First to reuse courses?
MKDD: 2 character gameplay, online via LAN, unlock able characters/content, character specific kart designs.
MKDS: Retro course system, mission mode, revamped battle system, 3 unique cars per character, traditional online standards, ranking?
MKWii: Karts v Bikes, several unique cars per weight class, trick system
MK7: Customizable kart system, marathon courses, gliding/underwater racing
MK8: anti-gravity, DLC, MKTV

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I do know that Mario Kart Wii used a size class system, instead of the typical weight class system that the other Mario Karts are known for.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

Though then there's the Sneakster (cutish), called Nitrocycle (cooldudebros) in the PAL region.

You just have to love the scenery in these Kart Games. Especially Peach's castle in royal raceway. I wish Nintendo would add in a game where you can freely explore the open world as any characters from any camera angle you'd want. It could be like Zelda U, except Mario style. Fron Rosalina's Observatory among other galaxies to the tropical places of Delfino island. I can imagine seeing Rosalina and Toadsworth conversing.

Well look who showed up!
I'm PeachGirl, a dual Peach and (as of today) Rosalina and Luma main. For some reason I seem to like the princesses in this game, which is kinda funny seeing as I'm a tomboy in real life. I picked up RosaLuma (I think that's the nickname) as a backup plan but ended up liking her so much I am now dual maiming her and Peach. She is Peaches polar opposite in playstyle but it works for me for some reason. Also, the range and stage control with Luma is nuts! Makes me suddenly realize what I was missing with Peach! I'm looking forward to learning more about Rosalina and Luma in the future.

Then you're not gonna like Rosalina much when you find out she's not a princess. :V

Rosalina ain't a princess, like what Irish Rosa guy said, she's much better than a Princess. She happens to be a celestial mother, the woman who has a passion for the stars in the cosmos. She usually goes by "Keeper/Watcher of the stars" or "Guardian of the cosmos", you get the idea.

There is still a possibity she is a Princess, but it is very small as a poppy seed. For one, we don't know much about Rosalina's family, considering that they happen to have a castle in the background by the hill, like some say it's Peach's.

Kudos to this guy.

The logic for saying Rosalina is a princess is about as scarce as trying to say Mario might be a princess.

She could only be a princess in a very figurative sense. Some people use the word "princess" for affection, so one could say she's "the Princess of the Lumas" in that way because the Lumas love her so much, but even then, that term has never actually been used and the Lumas clearly just view her as their mother outright, and prefer to call her "Mama".

I agree, it's the possibility percentage of Rosalina being a Princess is 0.1%. I wouldn't say it's impossible, but you're right. Rosalina was nicknamed "Lady of the Shooting Stars" which doesn't mean she's a Princess. It's a bit ironic how that now I realize Rosalina talks like she's royalty but Daisy talks more casual than Rosalina does.

EDIT: WHY IS IT IMPOSSIBLE TO POST PICS ON PHONE AND TABLETS!?!!?! Ugh... Here's a link instead.

EDIT: Oh my... This leaves me speechless...

As far as I'm concerned, it's been almost ten years since the character's inception and aside from some mistakes/liberties taken by Western marketing teams on one or two occasions, Rosalina has never been called a princess. It's as simple as that for.

Also, your image is broken.

Blame my silly phone and the tablet that I borrowed. It seems very difficult on how to post images on thoose devices, so I posted a link instead.

 

[ChikoLad]

Well, that definitely is a nice picture.

 

[LegendOfZeldaNut]

I always thought she was a princess :D. Doesn't change how much I like her though, she is probably the most unique fighter in the game and I love unique fighters. I've always wondered why if she is the mother and protecter of the Lumas, why she flings them around like projectiles and uses them as a sheild in a way? Maybe she is doing it with the Luma's permission?

Well, it depends on how you play RosaLuma. You can whether be protective of your Lumas or you can abuse them by using them to take hits. In the Rosalina trailer, she was seen being motherly to the Luma. Of course, I'd want to keep my Luma safe while inflicting damages on my enemies.

 

[ChikoLad]

The Palutena's Guidance for Rosalina states that the Lumas fight for Rosalina of their own free will. Rosalina isn't controlling them either. Them moving in sync is mostly just them literally being synchronised well. They also state that in the Guidance, but you can tell since Luma can still attack in most situations where Rosalina cannot.

I find that the Lumas choose to help Rosalina, especially when they're old enough to fend for themselves. Some people do take this kind of behavior the wrong way though.

 

[TheBeardedPunisher]

The synchronicity between Rosalina and her Lumas in Smash, the way I see it, is meant to show the powerful bond between them as mother and child. They're both in this together using the strength of their bonds as a source of their power to triumph in battle with the strength of their love. You can never underestimate the bonding that a parent builds with their children. It's a beautiful sight to see, and Rosalina and Luma express this type of bond by how in sync they are with one another. Rosalina doesn't exactly control all of Lumas moves with the power of her wand, but rather use it as guidance for her little sweetheart to help pummel the enemy into starbits. The sacrifice of the Lumas symbolizes their trust in Rosalina that they will always be together in all parts of their cycle from when they become stardust to their rebirth, and Rosalina will always be there with them. They willingly go through their goals together, and they are much happier being able to do it together.

Smash is just another representation of how Rosalina and Luma are ever loving characters with inseparable bonds.

 

[Char Seasalina]

^Well said, bravo. I still think that if a player keep using Rosalina to launch Luma off the stage wouldn't consider the relationship to be mother and child, or rather just blatant cruelty. Anyone can do anything they want with their Lumas, and I'd prefer to keep them safe while handing damages to my opponent.

Hi guys, I've just returned from two really good intensive Smash days with my friends. I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I noticed I have serious troubles against Marth. His aerial strings make me feel so helpless and in general he is really difficult to approach, he has also a godlike sidestep. Some advice would be nice, thanks

Things pretty much got way out of hand at the old thread, so my intention was to make a new social thread with stricter rules. However, my inability to handle certain reports correctly resulted in my demotion back to a normal user, and as such, I am no longer responsible for keeping this thread in order; GwJ is the new moderator here.

A month ago. I'm not that active here in Smashboards, so there's your answer. But, honestly, do we really need this kind of drama here? I'd expect that from the stupid Debate Hall bull****, but I feel like people these days... It kind of infuriates me, really!

Princess Sprixie is tutoring Rosalina on how to be a Sprixie! First step is to float at a high elevation. Peach is jealous tho, cos she can't levitate like Rosalina.

I feel like getting into the SFM business using a Rosalina model, whether it's 3D World or Galaxy.

Nope, just kind of weird it had drama.
