Wouldn't put Ezio or Axel as obscure there, far from it.

I wouldn't put any of them as obscure.


Anyways, I do like when they surprise us with a character out of left field, and those tend to be the hype bringers (Joker, Terry, Steve, Sephiroth), so I would go with the unexpected route.

Steve was unexpected in that everyone thought that Banjo killed his chances

 

[Guynamednelson]

He's far from being at any prediction list i've seen around. Anyways, my question was quite simple.

Characters that aren't frequently talked about as potential Smash newcomers aren't necessarily obscure to the general gaming audience.

Anyway I do expect someone who was commonly talked about...in 2018.

Steve upon reveal: Hi Mario!
Mario: Hi.... Steve.....

Why is it that it's when I half tired and so jacked up on caffeine I get the craziest ideas. Had a crazy story idea about Dr Stone but the difference is instead of the first guy to break out is Senku, it's Truman from The Truman Show.

"Good morning, and in case I don't see ya: Good afternoon, good evening, and" gets petrified

Somehow survives the set collapsing and breaks out thousands of years later.

"good night!" Then a scene of him walking around waving his hand in front of all the people petrified. There you go, Dr Stone/The Truman Show crossover and for some reason I can't stop laughing thinking about it.

Please get me away from the keyboard.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Now which Jrpg should i get too next.

Dragon quest 3 or Final fantasy 8. I've yet to touch either on my switch.

Watched The Truman Show again earlier this week.

I always imagine that after leaving the dome he ends up being the subject of an ongoing documentary series detailing his life after The Truman Show, essentially showing there is no escape from the cameras for him.

I know this movie reputation, but what the **** I am looking at.

Basketball, and Halle Berry's ass (ironically, the only thing that lasted more than 1 second).

OK. Given that I'm actually really enjoying the FFVII Remake... does that mean I would actually... enjoy similar games like Xenoblade or FFXV?

If by similar games you mean RPGs, then possibly.

There's a whole range of differences between VIIR and Xenoblade and VIIR and XV that make your connection tenuous.

RPG's that aren't turn based. Action RPGs. But not Action RPGs like Dark Souls.

Xenoblade honestly just replaces navigating a battle menu by having auto attacks. It feels pseudo turn based once you get down to it. I really wouldn't call it an action RPG.

XV plays very differently from VIIR which could impact how much you enjoy it. I personally found the core gameplay of XV weak but other people really enjoyed it.

 

[TheMightyP]

Smash 4 had the worst remixes.

This is also very accurate:

Just saw my best friend finally getting around to listening to Persona music. I'm proud of him.

Also:

Anyone who likes Harem or Slice of Life anime should watch Quintessential Quintuplets. Out of my 5/6 seasonals I finding it surprisingly good and yes it's on almost on par with Laid Back Camp Season 2. It's really good.

So to yous on Smashboards I suppose I'll sign off for the night so might play something like Rocket League or Taiko before bed.

Til tomorrow.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Let’s do it.

I'd be thankful to collaborate on it.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

finished Batman TAS. Onto Batman Beyond and Harley Quinn...

...but of course I'm not a dumbass cause I'll be starting my TMNT 2012 marathon as well while getting real juicy for WandaVision

add that with finishing my Royal Rumble marathon (2015-2020 are all I got left...despite this year's event not happening until the 31st), and I'll have 4 shows and 1 ppv event finished in the month of January

While Pokémon Snap is still on people's minds, here are some really cool fake Snap 64 videos. I put the last two vids in spoiler to avoid forum problems.

Latest episode of Hilda given its ending has left me anxiously curious.

I mean I could watch the next episode now but patience is a virtue. I want to take my time with the show so I'll know next week when I watch the next three episodes.

 

[Wademan94]

Sounds like there were some changes to the Scott P remaster. They changed Kims middle finger to a thumbs down. which is not too bad. still annoying they changed it for no reason. going to wait and see what else has changed. If it is to much, I will just pull out my PS3 again.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

TheMightyP vs Wademan94

Winner has the correct opinion on Smash 4 remixes...despite Ultimate being better than all obviously

I thought I saw a developer say they made no changes but it could have just meant no new content.

Wonder if it was changed for rating boards or if it's a sign of the times.

 

[cothero]

Characters that aren't frequently talked about as potential Smash newcomers aren't necessarily obscure to the general gaming audience.

Anyway I do expect someone who was commonly talked about...in 2018.

I've seen people here calling Terry obscure just because he isn't well known in the USA (despise his iconicness in Asia and Latin America), so take that as you will.

 

[Wademan94]

I'd be thankful to collaborate on it.

So where should we start?

 

[ZephyrZ]

Now obviously I wasn’t there so I don’t know what happened, but my personal theory is that sw/sh started development as a 3DS game, and development shifted to the switch later on. It could explain why the games feel smaller scale. We have it on record that overworld encounters were only implemented after people reacted positively to the overworld encounters in let’s go.

Like I said, it’s just a theory.

Huh, maybe all those snarky "upscaled Sun/Moon" comments were on to something.

Small hallways made sense in Sun and Moon because of hardware limitations. Those games pushed the 3DS to its limits, and the regular 3DS model didn't have any c-stick for camera control.

It would also explain why the Wild Area feels so discontected and unpolished.

Just finished watching Soul. One of my favorite animated movies I've seen this year, I'd have to say.

was quite an awesome movie. Everyone was a protagonist and antagonist in their own ways...fits the functionalities of humans in a nutshell (minus the fun of Disney money of course)

I mean I’m not denying Ultimate has the best remixes but there’s still a ton of good remixes in 4 as well.

So I finally finished Part 1 of my Sonic Clash story mode, I would love to hear some feedback on this as a whole

I didn't really. I made what is known in the vernacular as a joke.

 

[Lamperouge]

Yeah, uh, Crunchyroll...Imma need you to put that new Demon Slayer movie up pronto.

At least I have Laid-Back Camp season 2 and Re:Zero to keep me occupied in the meantime.
