Social The Rosalina General/Social Thread: 2nd Edition

Look like everyone's having fun. And is it me or does Rosalina seem the type of character who wouldn't be a cheerleader? Well, same goes for Zelda. They belong in the court! And I can't tell if that person on the right bottom corner's Link or Shulk, Lmao.

I agree.
It's Link, if you see his ears.

Looks to me like she is on the court. I do like how she and Mega Man are on the same team though (assuming if he is on the court, too, or just spectating).

I found a very cute take on Cat Rosalina.

The original image is small in resolution, but I found a REALLY cool tool online that lets you double the size of an image, without any blur or pixelation. Trying it out with my laptop connected to the TV and it's amazing. It's like the image is being completely re-rendered.

You gotta tell me where this online tool is. I could really use something like that in the future.

It was already 14:0, how did they manage to get much of that point? Maybe Captain Falcon showed up when he saw how bad Link did in beach volleyball.

Wow, even in Minecraft mode she's still cute.

Not exactly a ton of new Rosalina artwork around recently, and surprisingly not much Mother's Day related for her either. But I did find out that the artist who made that schoolgirl Rosalina artwork, ge-b, redrew it because quote, "Everything was wrong with the old one."

Nothing looks wrong with either one to me, but I'm glad it was remastered.

I've seen quite a few Rosalina themed Mother's Day pieces on tumblr. And artwork in general.

I made a Mother's Day piece earlier in the year, when it was Mother's Day in the UK & Ireland. Reposted it for US Mother's Day too.

Wow, recent Gaijingooba's video really made me want to check out Gurren Laggen, yeah, in this video it also reminds me why I often step back from anime. Fandom often makes some anime characters that were never really sexualized but still ruin by fandom... in the video where Gaijingoomba goes to Japan and saws some anime store that often have those fandom stuff. Which is true, even anime stores in my country...

 

[ChikoLad]

Finally got to Mini Rosalina's world in Mini-Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge and cleared it.

It's easily one of the most fun worlds in the game, you can do creative stuff with the Pull Stars and there is more freedom with how they work compared to the other characters' gimmicks. They can even pull her through walls!

And the music and art so beautiful, and Mini Rosalina sounds like she's having the time of her life. :,)

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

The tool that SonicBrawler182 is very useful for images that have a medium size!
I got a bigger version of this , finally.

The original image is significantly smaller , and photoshopping was not really an option since there's no a high res image of the RS Birthday Gril as opposed to the Rosalina render that comes with it.

Very useful indeed. Shout outs to him.

A better look at Rosalina.

Wow, she even has little pixel earrings. For a game that's not high in graphics, that's some attention to detail.
I don't play Minecraft, but this stuff is really great. Also, I think people might try to port this to the PC because they can.

But kind of awful that it's take four years for this game to come to Wii U...

Well, considering that the Wii U is not doing good in sales, it's not surprising that Minecraft took so long to come to it. I'm sure other systems like PS4 & Xbox One had a bigger priority over Wii U when it came to bringing Minecraft to home consoles.

The Wii U's console itself fits for Minecraft (If the pad can use it's touch screen in the game). It's the name itself made it sale poorly, also their bad marketing for the console. Wii U's games no one can argue that most of them are great and awesome.
And man, My Hero Academia is just awesome the more you read the manga.

As opposed to other social extentions and image sharing sites , Pinterest is actually very classy with the search of material of my favorite characters.

Every time I've logged onto Miiverse today, there's been a Rosalina related screenshot from some game on the front page.

Anyway, I 100%'d Mini-Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge. What do you get?

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

[TheBeardedPunisher]

Even if we have to deal with how Rosalina's a gymnastics exclusive, at least we're still getting more footage of her for us to cherish forever.

More gifs and images is all we can really ask for at this point. Condense it down to every last frame that has Rosalina in it, yet it still won't fill the void of what could've been.

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

Nah... i'm still salty about all this mess because there's literally no reason for it to be this way.

Unless this is an indirect way to say ''Hey our console cannot handle it'' or ''Hey we are Lazy as hell'' or ''Hey we make terrible desicions and are proud of it''.

Yes so cool to see Rosalina blah blah blah , and then again her footage is ALWAYS SILENT unlike the other characters , it's like she isn't even there. Kinda a waste.

And of all the events to feature her as exclusive they conveniently picked the fanservice-ish one .

I feel sick about this , kinda makes Sochi Olympics look like a blessing in comparison .

Literally the only ''good'' think to point out is that they changed back the announcer to the one in previous games. The one in 3DS Rio Olympics is terrible.

How is the gymnastices one the fanservice one?

Volleyball is the fanservice one. And they gave Rouge that event, which makes sense since she's the most fanservicey character there. They also advertise Peach with that event a lot because she's supposed to be kind of fanservicey too.

Literally one of the most fanservicey game franchises in history revolves around volleyball.

Didn't know you play Volleyball in a swimsuit, this event certainly doesn't do that in this game .

The reason they advertise Peach in these events is because she is the face of the dancing and girly sports. This has always been this way : Figure Skating and Ribbon Dancing are Peach signature events , no wonder the default record in the game is set to be Peach's.

Rosalina being specifically available in this one is so obvious to be fanservice , and a lame one. She is actually very strong , why not be an exclusive to football or boxing??

Ahhh because MUH FANSERVICE AND MUH FICTIONAL LEGS.

These events (the dacing ones etc) tend to be the most exciting for me , and the characters are so ... bland in this one for some reason.

Ribbon Dancing and Figure Skating are more graceful than this Baton thing , even the Hoops looked kinda better.

This mixed to the fact that the only thing i see people talking about is how they want to see Rosalina's legs makes me lose hope in the humanity.

That and the fact that they repeat the same over and over and over. We get it , you people are thristy as hell for a Mario character , that's so amazing , congrats! /S

I have reached the point in that i'm just ok by not buying these things anymore and just loggin off . This is terrible.

This is literally your most transparent case of "people are saying good things about Rosalina and not Peach, time for me to rant about how Rosalina's fanbase is terrible and how Rosalina is doomed".

I'm not even going to bother this time. The Peach Social exists for a reason, that's all I'll say.

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

It's not even about Peach.

You made it about Peach by bringing her up just because i pointed out the obvious fact that Rosalina's exclusivity in that certain sport looks like an obvious eyecandy and fanservice.

This is exactly what i don't like about talking about other characters in here with certain people. Not everything is perfect , there are flaws and they can be discussed.

I'm pretty confortable admitting that Peach , a favorite of mine , is often depicted in situations that are clearly not for empowerment of women and they are often seen as stereotypes of a woman who cannot save herself.

I'm ok with this and people pointing it out because i accept the truth and i'm not delusional ; the same way i accept that Rosalina is the best example of a character that has been developed since day 1 and happens to be a good example of a strong female character in the mix of Mario characters, which is the main reason i highly praise her and like her so much , not because she is as pretty as Peach or Daisy , but because she is by far different in what she represents , or represented.

This also applies to the negatives , i also am well aware that sadly Rosalina is female , and as a female she has a higher chance of being treated like a ''cash cow'' , a ''fanservice character'' , a ''waifu'' , subject of porn and etc that i consider disgusting and innapropiate particulary because this is a Mario character.

Whether people like it or not , depicting these characters , who are innocent , into material suited for ''adults'' is the same as doing porn with the Teletubbies or Dora the Explorer.

And yes , this applies to Peach , Daisy and blah blah too .

In this case , i'm not only bothered by the fact that Rosalina is playable in 1 sport ; This sport is also the one that makes her wear 1 of the most revealing outfits in the game , and while is clearly neccesary , this is just bull**** considering that the only thing people praise is how she has bare legs and THIS IS A FACT , and that bothers me.

''Oh Rosalina is just playable in 1 event , oh welp at least i can see her legs''

This is happening right now , and is as stupid as it sounds.

I don't mind Peach in this case , she is playable in All the sports and has all the outfits and ironically she has been exposed the less out of her , Daisy and Rosalina in this specific event , with only the Arcade version showcasing some footage as of today and it's not even playable in the 3DS counterpart.

Yet , this is not the point. Point is that Rosalina shouldn't be exclusive to this event at all ; and Even Rouge is in a better event.

This desicion is highly questionable and it's mosty likely intended to just showcase Rosalina in this kind of wardrobe.

Rosalina should have been playable in all the events , and not exclusive to the one that not only makes her exclusively wear a revealing outfit. This is the whole issue and it's unfair.

 

[ChikoLad]

i pointed out the obvious fact that Rosalina's exclusivity in that certain sport looks like an obvious eyecandy and fanservice.

Provide objective evidence of this "fact" before you try to claim it as fact. Like, an internal design document or a PR person from SEGA or Nintendo stating "we will include Rosalina in the game in a gymnastic outfit because people find her sexy and will buy the game just for that".

Until you can do that, it is not a "fact" that Rosalina is in the game just for sex appeal. It as an assumption based on your emotions.

This also applies to the negatives , i also am well aware that sadly Rosalina is female , and as a female she has a higher chance of being treated like a ''cash cow'' , a ''fanservice character'' , a ''waifu'' , subject of porn and etc that i consider disgusting and innapropiate particulary because this is a Mario character.

How can you state in good faith, that Rosalina has a "higher chance" of being treated like a cash cow or as a fanservice character, when Peach is in the exact same game and her gymnastic outfit is actually more revealing than Rosalina's?

Granted, gymnastic outfits are not SUPPOSED to be sexy. They are not marketed as such. But even if they were, your statement still wouldn't make sense.

Then there's also the fact that objectively, there is way more Peach porn than Rosalina porn. Peach is literally the most "liked" character on Rule 34 ("liked" in quotations because they use a different term for it that I cannot use here).

Plus you seem to be missing the very definition of Rule 34. "If it exists, there is porn of it". There is literally nearly as much Bowser and Yoshi porn as there is Rosalina porn. Rosalina being promoted in games has nothing to do with her porn. She's just the most genuinely beloved Mario character. Hell, half of the Rosalina porn probably has Peach in it too, so it literally makes no sense to criticise Rosalina for having porn and not Peach.

In this case , i'm not only bothered by the fact that Rosalina is playable in 1 sport ; This sport is also the one that makes her wear 1 of the most revealing outfits in the game , and while is clearly neccesary , this is just bull**** considering that the only thing people praise is how she has bare legs and THIS IS A FACT , and that bothers me.

Part of the reason people go crazy over Rosalina's legs like this is because of an inside joke - a lot of people joked about how she "literally has no legs" when they saw upskirts of her in Smash. So now they are shocked to find that actually isn't true. Regardless, I don't see how it is a problem.

''Oh Rosalina is just playable in 1 event , oh welp at least i can see her legs''

This is happening right now , and is as stupid as it sounds.

I'm aware it's happening right now. I was just talking to someone like that today.

And there's nothing wrong with it. People are allowed to like characters and video games for different reasons. That's the nature of art.

Also her legs definitely isn't the only part of her body people praise. Far from it. :V

In any case, "people think Rosalina's new outfit is sexy and she can't dress up in something else" is a petty reason to be angry at the character exclusivity. You should be angry it because it means the game is barren in content and everything the hyped the game up to be amounted to nothing.

I said that i looks like it because it clearly does. All this time until the game is released and they just conveniently make this outfit for Rosalina and make her exclusive to 1 event that happens to use the revealing outfit?

Yeah , there you go , this was intended and it's awful , not only with the outfit choice but the fact that

A) No Rosalina in all the events which is the bigger issue
B) Only available exposing skin.

Again , COMPLETELY missing the point and bringing up Peach for no reason at all.

This just proves how salty some people get when others expose the truth.

If you care and re read , you can find the part where i mentioned that Daisy and Peach and etc... suffer from this too.

But as usual , this is convenientely missed.

And we aren't talking about Peach , i know i'm not. Im Talking About Rosalina , RO SA LI NA.

A ''joke'' that's not funny whatsoever cannot be called a joke , not in this life nor in the next one. There's tons of comments including Leny faces , sexual inuendos and way more , and it's stupid to the levels of below 12 year olds.

umm Yes , there's something wrong with this and it's that the character is absent in 80% of the rest of the game!

WTF is wrong with this people accepting it just because she is showing more skin????

I'm done , this is beyond normal standards .

I'm bringing up Peach because she has a more revealing outfit than Rosalina, yet that's completely fine. Yet when Rosalina shows some leg skin it's apparently the worst thing in the world, even though it's completely normal and practical? You think your message is positive, but it's only either biased, or flat out sexist.

And don't even pretend that you acted this way when Peach first had an outfit like this. You've had avatars of her gymnastics outfit before. This is clearly your bias. You only like Rosalina if you think people are not complimenting her more than Peach. However, when you feel they are, suddenly everything about Rosalina and her fanbase is bad. And this is one of the reasons this thread has so little activity. I thought you had realised this before and turned a new leaf, but apparently not.

A ''joke'' that's not funny whatsoever cannot be called a joke , not in this life nor in the next one. There's tons of comments including Leny faces , sexual inuendos and way more , and it's stupid to the levels of below 12 year olds.

So sorry to hear that jokes upset you if you don't find them personally find them funny. Other people do though. Doesn't mean you have to be a buzzkill.

umm Yes , there's something wrong with this and it's that the character is absent in 80% of the rest of the game!

WTF is wrong with this people accepting it just because she is showing more skin????

I'm done , this is beyond normal standards .

Most people who are happy about Rosalina being in a nice new outfit, aren't happy about it because they want to buy the game. They are happy about it in spite of it.

I mean you don't need to buy the game to enjoy the outfit anyway. Just wait for people to upload screenshots and rip the model from the game. Simple. Doesn't mean we still aren't annoyed about how the game isn't good. There is such a thing as something good coming out of a bad package.

 

[Char Seasalina]

Just enjoy the fact that Rosalina is in the game and stop arguing about inappropriate things, and may I remind you that this is a family-friendly forum. We went from long arguements to plain rude insults... I agree that Rosalina should not have been exclusive, especially the equestrian event, and is to be playable in all events. That's that.

#BringBackPauline

She could've been playable in Mario & Friend Amiibo Challenge y'know, wait... She has no amiibos. ;'(

 

[ChikoLad]

According to this article, Nintendo decided which characters are on the cover of Smash Bros, not Sakurai. So I guess Rosalina must be considered very popular and important to Nintendo, since they specifically chose her for the version of the game that sells the best.

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

Just to be clear , My avatar was Peach Winter Outfit ; I have never used , praised or liked the swimsuit nor any revealing outfit for Princess Peach or any character for the matter.

This is whole issue is beyond normal standards as i said.

Bias are for certain Others , not for me.

This comment makes no sense.

1st. We arent ''insulting'' each other. If anything we are arguing , but i don't think it should have reached this level either.

2nd. Rosalina is not available in the Equestrian event , i think you mean the Dancing with Batons event.

3rd. This is a place in which discussions take place , it's very common to share views and talk about it , then again it can get to the point where it could be a bit frustrating due to the other part not willing to be open minded and clearly stands stiff to a point . This can happen to anybody in here.

The funny thing is, Rosalina was only present on the front side of Smash 3DS's box art. She's not present on the front side of Smash Wii U's box art at all.

If it wasn't an avatar, it was at least a signature.

She's on the extended version of the Wii U cover art though. 3DS one is the more popular version anyway.
