Social The Rosalina General/Social Thread: 2nd Edition

[ChikoLad]

Rosalina's source of power isn't the wand since she can actually use most of her abilities without it.

My theory on the wand has always been that it's just a conductor of her powers. If she doesn't use it, her more advanced magic is more destructive and she can will hurt people unintentionally. Most of the times we see her use magic without her wand, it's more destructive in nature, such as creating spacial distortions with her hands.

Either that, or it's just totally for show.

I don't like saying her powers come from her wand too. It would make her useless without it, yet she can still perform most of her magic tricks with her bare hands.
I've already told that ages ago, but I prefer to say she simply got her powers from her parents. The only elements proving this could be the fact she breathes in space and also that her mother appears in her dream.

Technically false.

Rosalina's only abilities in her natural form without her wand are the same as other Mario characters (jump , hit , ground pound , etc) and Mario's signature Galaxy Spin attack that she borrows in 3D World.

The other thing she does normally without her wand is floating.

Yet , she is shown manipulating objects and even causing meteors showers and the Comet observatory appear by using her wand in Mario Golf World Tour.

In Smash she uses her wand to command Luma and do a few attacks which are the ''supernatural'' ones such as starbits.

So again , there's plenty of evidence that the Wand is a strong source of her power , as proven in games.

You're missing a ton.

She can levitate stuff with her bare hands in Mario Tennis - her wand isn't in that game at all.

Also just because her wand is on her when she uses an ability, doesn't mean it's active. It's only active if it sparkles.

Like so:

In the above screenshots, Rosalina's wand isn't active, as it isn't emanating any sort of sparkles or light.

However, in this one:

It's sparkling, meaning it's active.

Other abilities like her barriers she places around herself in Galaxy, don't use the wand, as it doesn't sparkle. Rosalina can also place barriers around herself in 3D World, where she doesn't have the wand.

I don't have the game, but isn't she able to play around with gravity around a tennis ball and use it to influence kinetic force around her tennis racket in Ultra Smash?
If anything it's the opposite, since she hasn't shown to be able to create energy eggs as big as the observatory without it. Then again, we never get to see her fighting without it in the first place, most of the times that happened is when she needs both hands to do something.

Chances are, it's just a counduit of her powers and may come straightly from them, wich would as well explain how she lacked that in her background story

Read the above post.

Also I said that the wand might be required to control stronger magic. Not all of it. Levitating tennis balls isn't all that advanced.

Another theory I have is that it's basically just "keys" for the Observatory.

Also she can use water powers in Puzzles and Dragons, without the wand.

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

It doesn't really contradict the fact that the Wand Rosalina has is a strong source of powers , no wonder she carries it in her most active appearences , including her own debut.

Otherwise she wouldn't have it.

It's clearly not her only source of power , but is a strong one.

It's not the source of her power because if that were the case, she wouldn't be able to use any sort of magic without it.

Nintendo would also have explicitly stated if it was by now, if it was really the case, and would make sure to only depict her using powers when her wand is on hand.

Oh, also there's this:

I highly doubt having a universe up her dress has anything to do with the wand.

He said that it wasn't her only source of power
And personally, I think that water powers are just something they put to dodge having another element that only a character has(or two for this matter, even if cosmic energy could be labeled as fire in a sense)

But I disagree that it's her main source because it's honestly much more vague on what the wand actually does. We don't know for sure what she needs the wand for, if anything at all. We do know for sure that she has plenty of powers without it though.

Also why they gave her the Water element in Puzzles & Dragons (and we likely will never get an official statement on the matter) is irrelevant. She still has it, so it's part of her list of powers now. And since regular Rosalina isn't depicted with a wand and is a Water Element, it's a natural power of her's.

I'm not too much into that line of thinking.
One can understand the stuff going about star children and the immense energy they are able to unleash, but what about several characters inexplicably going into adrenaline rushes intense enough to crush reality also known as Mega Strikes, with some of them reaching that height with their sole legs

...I don't see how that has anything to do with my post.

I was just making another example of stuff that characters are able to do just because gameplay needs it.
I'm not prone to think that anyone beside the star children has the ability to hit something strong enough to temporarily split it, despite other characters showing this power in MSCF

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

My point is not that the wand gives her powers ; that would be my personal explanation that i also stated that could be discarded.

My actual point , that i was telling to Killo was that while the wand is not in some games , it's very clear that Rosalina uses it in many ways that showcase how strong her powers are when she is holding it , even if she still has abilities without it.

Her wand is useful and gives her more abilities and it's a strong source of power , however it's not her only source for it.

Why this has to always escalate into something passive agressive-like discussion with certain people?

I can agree that we can all like the character and discuss about her in many ways.

My opinion on this would be : Let's change the subject.

As i said before , Pinterest is a good source to find classy images that depict Rosalina as the classy woman she is.

 

[MezzoMe]

Uh, for what concerns me, I just like to talk about powers and manipulation of energy, as well as what is supposed to be behind that

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

Meh , at this point i would just be fine to talk about apple juice again.

 

[MezzoMe]

That was still better than when the thread got raided by the Zelda one, as there was some sort of taste when talking about apple juice

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

I like Zelda and the board users , they are nice people to my understanding.

But yeah , i think the the only other juice that can compete with the Apple juice is the Strawberry juice.

This a personal choice , i enjoy both of them but i find Straberries sweeter and they are also good for the skin in general.

 

[MezzoMe]

I like Zelda and the board users , they are nice people to my understanding.

The two of us remember differently the two raids we got

 

[Tino]

That was like, what? A year ago?

Besides, the Zelda boards has pretty much kept a low profile these days...or maybe I just haven't been here much. They're actually pretty cool peeps who just likes to do things...in a unique way.

 

[Shirma Akayaku]

They will know that they're being talked about in this thread. They're pretty chill in my eyes though.

 

[MarioMeteor]

There are people that play Zelda?

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

It's not like people are saying bad things thought.

In my experience they are super fun and nice , you know people with sense of humor instead of being stuck up in the ass.

 

[Tino]

There are people that play Zelda?

And there are people that play Wii Fit Trainer, too.

 

[E-Mann]

It's a bit mysterious how Rosalina is stuck in her older self. The only explanation , besides being a story plot would be the origins of Rosalina's magical abilities.

While Rosalina was still a girl , she traveled to space and from time to time she got older until she was old enough to take more responsabilities. I would imagine , something happened when Rosalina reached certain age and made her stop aging. Maybe the source of her powers are her magic wand , which she found somewhere somehow and that made her stop aging so she can be the protector of the cosmos and mother of the lumas forever.

I kinda believe this was Rosalina's choice to let go her humanity to become something else after her mother died ; so she decided that to take after her she would become a greater entity to protect the Lumas and watch over the stars forever.

At least that's what i think.

This however , can be discarded as none of the Mario main characters really age.

Many characters did age , but they got stuck in ''adulthood'' such as Mario , Princess Peach and etc.

theories at it's finest.

That's dark.

 

[MezzoMe]

They will know that they're being talked about in this thread. They're pretty chill in my eyes though.

Well, if I understood a thing from what people wrote, I'm not talking about the same people that now are in the Zelda board, even if that looks like some sort of a crappypasta plot like
I start the game
There's Zelda that vomits blood
Then she comes out of the screen
She wants to kill me
Help me
I'm ded
Doesn't look likely.

I need something that feels more adoring. Wait, I know the solution...

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

I'm with Mario And Sonic guy with this ; Pairing with Yoshi reminds me of Galaxy too and how cute they look as buddies.
Ganondorf is disgusting ; not even the gerudo Girls like him. Zelda herself should slay that ass in the next main game to change a little.

 

[MezzoMe]

^Wonder how I thought that the sentiment wasn't mutual

 

[MarioMeteor]

I was always under the impression that Luigi had something for Rosalina.

 

[Char Seasalina]

I typically believe that Rosalina prefers to be single since she already takes the role of the mother to the Lumas, but if she were to be paired with... I want to have a responsible, mature and smart father to the Lumas, who would give a bit more discipline more than the mother would. Ganondorf X Rosalina is like Dark X Light for some reason to me. I would pair Rosalina with a divine being, not a Toad or Shy Guy for shure! Rosalina would be paired with... *Drumroll* FIND OUT IN THE NEXT POST, hehe, cliffhangers.

EDIT:

Spoiler: If only this was a real Amiibo, I'd main it.

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

People ''shipping'' Rosalina with other characters must be those who like fanfics , which equals are high grade of cancer.

No respect for those people. #Shame

 

[ChikoLad]

x is the only correct ship for Rosalina.

It would fix literally every problem in the Mario universe, both lore wise and meta wise.

Also btw, Smash Wii U/3DS is getting an update this month. I doubt Rosalina will be changed since they haven't done much with her in ages, but just keep that in mind.

 

[RandysRage]

If I could have one reasonable change for the 1.1.6 patch, it'd be less endlag and more range for Star Bits. It rarely sees use, but I believe it's a useful spacing tool.

 

[ChikoLad]

I'm not expecting many characters to change, in part because I think this patch might just be cracking down on mods.

However, the only Rosalina changes I would want are:

-Fix her grabs, they're still jank
-Give the windbox on Catch & Release more power and maybe some more range (it's a custom move so buffing this does not effect competitive play or For Glory Warriors)
-Some general hitbox clean up, mainly on Rosalina and Lumas rapid jabs

Though to be honest, I kinda gave up on Smash so it doesn't matter much at this point. She could be nerfed like crazy and it wouldn't have much bearing on me (though I'd still think that would be really dumb).
