I've warmed up to tue idea of the Steam Deck because the most powerful hardware in my house is the PS4 and I have no exclusives, let alone have time to play it since it's not mine and in the TV room so someone's using the TV all the time.


However, I wish it wasn't so darn expensive, the cheapest is a waste of $400 imo and the mid point is too expensive for me.

Maybe wait for a price drop.

Yeah, the high cost is really the only huge downside to it. I hope that there can be some price drops in the future!

Oh, and I have mixed feelings about the dock being sold separately, but they haven't revealed the price for it yet, so maybe it won't be too bad.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I....Don't see why that would be? He hasn't lowered in requests, like, at all.

In fact, he's at that bargaining phase where his fanbase are being as loud as possible, thinking it'll somehow will him into being.

I’m trying to say he wouldn’t be a surprise. Like at all.

What's the Switch Dock? $80?


Yeah, expect that. Maybe more because Valve loves padding hardware with unecessary ****.

Given how hard it is for them to get western made content in Smash, I don't think it would be as expected as, say, a Pokémon at this point. I think there'd be plenty of surprise for Crash, especially to people outside speculation bubble.

Which is like, 99% of the the people who actually play the game.

What's the Switch Dock? $80?

Hmm, I'd be okay with a pricey dock if it offered some extra power. Maybe it'd allow the Deck to overclock a bit? That'd be neat.

This is probably not happening but would be a pretty sweet ending:

How does the Switch dock work again? Like, I don't think it added power, but I know it slightly changed some internal things to allow games to run smoother and look nicer. I forgot the exact wording on that.

I can expect that with the Deck, maybe some crispier output and more stable frame rate instead of the minimum 30fps that fluctuates up and down.

Not even Min Min's reach is this long.

 

[TheMightyP]

Not even Min Min's reach is this long.

This isn't even top 10 on terms of Smash fan theory reaches. Like, I can at least understand the sentiment which makes it better then like 80% of the "Min Min with the Vampire Killer reach" theories.

At this rate the final fighter can be anyone.

A random 1st party, a random 3rd party, a highly requested character, a promotional character.

Just anyone.

Goku time.

Goku time.

The only true rule to Smash.

The character has to originate from a video game.

So no Goku.

I’d be fine with it. Would be cool. Though IMO the first real indie character on the roster should be… well… Shovel Knight. But in his sa sense, Quote.

Don't care.

Put him in the game. I want carnage. I want confusion. I want the hype.

Watch as that final rule is broken and Sakurai just has a cat like grin on his face throughout the entire presentation.

 

[Shroob]

Also, looked into this "Rapper Mario" leak.


Wow, it's trash lol.

 

[KingBooGengar57]

I wonder how every FF game from V onwards would play without ABP. They'd probably be nearly unplayable.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Just play the Jump games. Closest you'll ever have to Goku in Smash.

We also basically already have him in the form of

If you mean Garfield he'll potentially get his chance and closest to Smash in Nick Brawl All-Stars. The IP is currently owned by Viacom who in turn owns Nick.

Hmm, yeah, that could work. Maybe it'd make things output to 1080 with more opportunities for higher framerates at higher settings, like you said.

One feature that I'm excited for though is the improved track pads: The ones on the Steam controller are amazing, just...Not as an stick replacement: Even now, haptics aren't quite advanced enough yet to replace sticks. They're getting there, but yeah, especially when the Steam controller came out, trying to make the second stick a track pad was a huge mistake. I'm glad they learned from that and included a set of sticks and a D-pad with the track pads, instead of sacrificing one for the other.

With those track pads, not only will you be able to get the console experience, but things like VNs, games like DOTA, Civ, or Age of Empires will feel super good on this thing. It's gonna be pretty wild what you'll be able to do, and their built-in Windows application emulation through Proton sounds exciting!

I’m still trying to figure out how his moveset would work. I could see his neutral special being him kicking Odie like a projectile

I think there's actually a lot to pull from if you go for Garfield deep cuts through the specials and cartoons.

...Which by the way, did y'all know I love Garfield and growing up I watched like, almost all the cartoons and specials? If any of you need random Garfield trivia, I'm your (not) funny internet dude.

There's plenty of Nick characters who don't even fight that are in the game and managed to make them work, I'm certain they'll find a way around it assuming he's even in.

 

[Shroob]

Really though.


I don't really care who the last character is lol. I'm burnt out on speculation, and all the "evidence" at this point just comes off as massive

Ditto here. Anyone else I want is just icing on cake whether Phoenix Wright, Amaterasu, Master Chief, or Crash.

 

[Noipoi]

The last character is no one.

Sakurai comes on screen, tells the audience to **** off, and leaves. The camera stays on his empty chair for forty minutes.

I mean I’m saying that as someone who grew up with Garfield and has a huge collection of the comics, but even then I’m still having trouble picturing what his moves could be.

Well no crap they could, this is literally the same as Smash argument, I’m just trying to figure out what’s work best and how they could go about it

 

[Rizen]

Damn these ships are impressive! I can imagine that the energy of all cities on Earth would not be enough to power these.

I'm reading The Physics of Star Trek, because I'm that big of a nerd, and that's something he brings up. There's any number of real world limitations as to why interstellar travel wouldn't work like on the show. One of which is the massive amounts of fuel, even with an antimater engine, would exceed the mass of the Enterprise.

...I'll go back to polishing my glasses and building model spaceships now.

No, he'll be in

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Rather been in the mood to getting around to rewatching the Sci-Fi classic masterpieces that are Alien and Aliens.

Will get to watching them sometime in August. They're the only good films of the franchises, every other movie afterward sucked especially Alien 3 and Alien: Covenant.

 

[Noipoi]

You may be cool, but can you sing the Pokemon rap from memory?

Don’t tempt me.

I'm not putting any bets on the last fighter.

I'll try not to be picky

 

[MooMew64]

Wademan94 Dang, now you really got me theory crafting a Garfield moveset, lol.

How do some of these ideas sound:

Spoiler

Neutral B: Eat food. This charges up a burp attack that works similar to 's waft.

Side B: Grapple move - Rushes forward and kicks an enemy similar to how he kicks Odie off the table.

Down B: Puts on his pirate costume from the original Halloween special, and uses his wooden sword for a counter move.

Up B: Not sure for this one.

Grabs could have him stuff the opponent in a box like he does with Nermal, and then throw them.

Taunts could involve references to cartoons and specials, such as memorable Garfield and Friends scenes and stuff from the CGI show.

That's all I could think up for now.

It's all something that can be dictated by physical laws. Like Newton's Second Law of Motion says, the more mass something has the more energy, or force, is needed to produce more acceleration, or change in velocity of an object. With how massive those ships are, the energy needed to move those ships quickly would be exponentially tremendous.
