It's not a person, it's a custom Minecraft minigame where you try and dig up the ground under your opponent's feet into lava. This does a better job of explaining it than I ever could.

Man, the Slamacow animations have aged perfectly assuming we got both a Zombie and Enderman as alt skins lol

Spleef was like... one of my favorite minecraft minigames to build back in the day. It's pretty difficult to maintain though, resetting the floors each time is no small task. Fun as hell to play.

Do you have any tips on beating writer's block? That's an utter anathema to me.

Yes.

What helped me get started with writing my Smash Bros. fanfiction is mapping out how the story will go; a plot outline. I came up with an idea of how I wanted the story to progress. Once I got the major story plot points down on paper, each chapter will be easier to write because you'll be able to fill in the blanks as you go.

Maybe coming up with a story outline will help you as well. I know it helped me, and now I feel confident that I'll be able to write the story that I want.

I remember watching a bunch of Element Animation back in the day.

Well, I normally work on my stories like a sandwich; the beginning and climax are the slices of bread, and everything in-between is the fillings. I just have trouble deciding what to do with them. I guess I'll jot down my choices and see what works. Thank you!

One more day until the day of reckoning comes to us Smash Bros.

Duuuude my siblings and I probably watched the original Villager News like a billion times back then lol

 

[Wademan94]

You mean the Archie comic?
Yeah! I want to see more of them!

I meant the writing I did for the story mode of the Sonic fighting game I’ve talked about before. I can re-link it if you wanna look.

Aw yeah, Villager News is the best! I have great memories of watching them with my folks too, lol.

I also have fond memories of the "Egg's Guide to Minecraft" series they did. I wonder if they're still around nowadays...

Still waiting on Pokemobs 3 to this very day...

Just checked their channell, it appears so

Their last video was like 6 months ago

Still continuing both Villager News and EGtM from what I can see

I've gotten to Server Continent in DMO... man if it wasn't for the horrible Engrish here this area would be really nostalgic for me.

Also Etemon raid? seriously? >.>

I'm trying to work on some clothing, and to be honest I don't like it.

AndreaAC Metal Shop X Any ideas for what I could change/add to make this better?

Honestly looks pretty good if you ask me. Could use some more detailing but it's not terrible or anything.

Yeah, this is just concept art so I can get a rough idea of the design. Not gonna mess with texturing and shading for this.

Ok, when it comes to the way it's drawn, I am going to be honest, at first glance I thought he was wearing Mouse shaped slippers instead of sneakers/tennis shoes.

And the hoodie looks quite strange, like it's not part of the whole thing because it's not even going around the neck like the example I found.

Other than that, It's quite good.

I think it's a good start, personally.

Who's the character?

I leave for ten minutes and this is the first post I read. I am so confused.

my mission is complete

 

[Rizen]

Make a habit of writing every day. It probably won't be good writing but it's important to lay the bone work in rough drafts. You can edit it into good writing later.

I agree that the hoodie and shoes look really crappy, I’m just trying to get a general idea of the design first then I’ll go back and make it look better. I’m still in the phase where I’m trying to get an idea of what I want from the design. Thanks for the thoughts, though! I’ll use that hoodie ref you sent once I go back and tweak it.

I’m just testing character design.

 

[Roguewolf]

Dude, I'm American. I only seem Canadian because I'm a Leafs fan.

I live in Corning, New York.

And no this isn't helping. I took it seriously as an opportunity to have more opportunities to grow the Smash Bros. community together, but to take each debate seriously and do perform very well in each one only to come just short stings. A lot.

Final edit maybe: I wish I did better, and apparently, my best wasn't good enough.

Sorry buddy I try to make people feel better with humor but I’ll stop if it doesn’t help you in your process of dealing with bad vibes


just remember this kind of stuff isn’t endemic on your value as a human

as someone who’s done a fair amount of acting auditions and stuff just because that kind of rejection Comes dosent mean that you or your original basis for believing you can do something is wrong a million insignificant things can lead to this and none of them are your fault. Your best is good enough and its a brilliant thing when you can get up when you stutter

I believe in you and I’m sorry again about the unwanted Joke stuff about it

I hope this came across right

 

[TheMightyP]

Is Minecraft Steve a blank slate?

Yeah. He's just the insert for the player

Is Smash Steve a blank slate?
View attachment 289092
Absolutely not

Dude waves, teabags, and even taunts ya while you're being blown up by eating a victory steak.

The amount of personality they gave him is insane.

He even pulls out a bed and sleeps in the middle of a fight, meaning he doesn't view his opponents as monsters.

How thoughtful and nice of him.

Alrighty! Let me know if you get any more progress! And no problem!

But wait! Pokemon is short for Pocket Monsters. How is he still able to sleep from Jigglypuff sleeping?

 

[Will]

I signed up for the new tournament that's happening at the end of the month.

I'm pretty excited for it, I want to see if I've improved enough to actually beat the two guys who bodied me in March.

Who should I pick though? I can go again, or I can do . I just can't choose. Definitely not though, he won't live.

Snake has the best matchup spread of all of them, but Hero is the best if your tourney is filled with zoners

that gif is so compressed it looks like that girl is getting sunburnt lol

oddly enough, it reminds me of those Clash of Clans animations from years ago.

I tried fighting YoseFu with Hero but I didn't get very far, and he was by far the hardest matchup. His Simon is bonkers.

It's a reason I've been picking up Dark Pit after forgetting I played him well in Smash 4, he has a reflect on command and I'm decent enough with arrows. It's just that kill power is an issue when I play as the character.

Didn't they buff his kill power recently?

I'm interested in seeing if they're about to buff his kill power even more. Both Pits really need it.

 

[TheMightyP]

They do need it tbh. They're in the Banjo situation of basic yet low kill power.


Also, since it's at end of the month, you're gonna be seeing a lot of Steve mains, so you better hope they don't find some broken tech lol.

If Steve really is that popular, it'll have to be between Hero and Dark Pit. Both have diverse recovery paths.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

We can choose the biome we load in on Minecraft World.

Which biome will you fight on first?

I’m just testing character design.

If you're focusing on a character's design specifically, I suggest doing multiple thumbnails of your character to help put multiple ideas down quickly instead of focusing too much on just one at a time. Try not to get too worked up on keeping things looking nice or clean or presentable or whatever (especially if this is for your eyes only) so don't be afraid of being a little sketchy with your designs.

Then you can try out different patterns and colours, and sometimes you might like something little on one design but something else on another then you can sort of pick and choose what you like to put into a more finalized design or at least visualize some other ideas.

As for how many you should use, that's up to you, really. You could do just a couple or you can fill a page with dozens of different thumbnails, but keep in mind the more you use the more you have to work with but too much can be overwhelming and leave TOO MUCH freedom of choice.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

You think we'll see another character by year's end?

 

[Deleted member]

Oh, you thought I forgot about this, didn't ya?

It's A N G E R Y Plushfire time

 

[Aetheri]

You think we'll see another character by year's end?

Not likely, but I wouldn't rule out a possible Late November or December reveal. I'm personally not expecting to see another character by February at the earliest.

Yeah. Me either. Sad. But probably true.
