So remember when I posted that Fake Chrom vine

I found the whole thing omg


God bless ProZD and his soul.
FIRE EM-BULL: A-FAKE-ENING

Still hysterical. :3

My local Smash scene had a discussion a while back about what our stage list should consist of. I love the idea of having as many fair stages as possible since seeing BF, FD, and Smashville gets old after a while. I like playing on Castle Siege, Delfino and Halberd. It's too bad about PS2 and Skyloft not being playable since those could be interesting stages to play on.


I want more stages to play on because I think someone from around here mentioned it, but if we start limiting stages then we start limiting the meta. Not being able to play on as many stages hampers the meta from growing as much as it could. I'm all for having a bigger stage list because I'd rather test a stage out long enough then rather ban stuff from the start. For instance with the Wuhu remark, I personally feel iffy about Wuhu but because I've only played some handful of matches on there I'm not sure if it could be a legit stage. I see the potential for it, but I also see some against it. But as I mentioned, I'd want to try it out now and have it taken off later than not have the chance to experience it in the first place. The game's almost a year old so we've got plenty of time to really go through some of these stages and test things out. Smashville gets old real fast.
I'm of the "innocent until proven guilty" frame of mind.

Unless a stage is outright detrimental to competitive play (I am sorry, my beloved Pac-Land, that fate must keep us most wretchedly apart), I'm quite happy to get a feel for it before making an opinion.

Whoa, I'm the only user here?
I'm still mad they took this out.
That reminds me, I hope 5mash everyone gets their own victory themes. Like, I would love to hear :4lucas:with Porkys theme, or :4myfriends:with a S.T.E.A.M.ish remix of Eternal Bond.

All you people talking about voice actor and you don't even invite the voice actor in training smh.

Aha, I just had loads of fun playing some Robin dittos on For Glory! We started every match with a "Tip the scales" taunt, and we even shared a praising replay of each other since we were from the same region. We mimicked each other's tricks when we saw something new - no two rounds were the same. Robin players, whether on FG or Anthers, are amongst the friendliest players in my experience, and the most fun in dittos. :) Which only makes it worse when you come across yet another taunting-Falcon

EDIT: Side note; these are oddly good training tunes for Robin. Makes you... think.

the only reason robin gets girls is because he works in a team. Link flys solo and still gets more digits.
Let's be honest, those two will never get girls as much as :4mario:.

Don't believe me, Play Thousand Year Door, the ladies love the Great Gonzales

It kind of helps that he's Mr. Video Game himself.

Pit can only get one night stands with every girl in Nintendo's history(including Chun-Li, Jill Valentine, Zelda, and Samus). He can only do one night stands because Palutena wants him for herself.

Robin is the true pimp daddy of Nintendo. Nobody has ever come close except for that scrub CORRIN!

Here comes the salt; I'm willing to PAY someone to teach me to play Smash 4 properly; I can't stop losing, even to Samus' who just roll and missile everywhere. ;(

That scrub Corrin is Robin's waifu.

Not even she can't escape his powers
The amiibo feature in Fates is just part of Robin's plan to end the Hoshido-Nohr conflict by teaching those peasants how to S-Support.

That and to add more booty to his ever expanding harem.

This picture explains so much

Although most harems have a lead girl.

Those aren't tomes Robin uses. He doesn't even need tomes to cast spells. Those "tomes" are in fact his waifu logbook, waifu rollcall, and waifu compendium.

Honestly I find the fact Lucina and Robin are uncharacteristically rude in Smash Bros. to be rather hilarious.
It's not like half the cast aren't extremely out of character in Smash Bros.

As opposed to being a loudmouthed superhero macho man, F-Zero's Captain Falcon is a reserved and stoic bounty hunter.
I like both.
Maybe a split personality? Guess he just cuts loose when he's in smash. :p
I really hate seeing and hearing those words. Initially I was OK with it, but now it gets annoying.

It just bothers me with Shulk because "I'm really feeling it!" is not a major part of his character. He says it in Xenoblade yes, but it's still a random line he says. It basically takes a well-developed character and reduces him to a meme and it annoys the hell out of me.
AFAIK, Lucina's portrayal varies depending on the region, so in the Western versions, she's pretty condescending to Marth and Ike if they lose to her, while in the Japanese version, she's still the usual, respect others character we're used to. :p

But yeh, I'm not a fan of a lot of Smash's character portrayal. Like... "angry" Mario for example.
I agree. It's like how I feel about Ike in smash now.. (to some extent) Once I started playing Ike's FE games, I started to hate how much of a meme he's in Smash... Like, he DOES show sympathy... He had to fight against some of his friends... (Of course, he does fight for them) I do sorta still like his smash quotes, though.
Now when to comes to voices in Smash, I think we can all agree

:fox:>:foxmelee:>:4fox:
:falcomelee:>:4falco:>:falco:

:4pit:>>>>>>:pit:
:4sonic:(Japan)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>:sonic:/:4sonic:(USA)
It's really about the VA performance. Because It's funny how :fox: VA comes from a Star Fox game that many people consider bad while :4fox:comes from a Star Fox game that many consider good. Same goes to their performances in their respective game. It of course doesn't help we went from older more mature Assault Fox to younger N64 Fox.

I honestly like Jim Walker's Fox in both games, though I do agree he did a better job in Brawl.

Mike West seems to be doing a better job in Zero.
And yeah, much prefer :4pit: English :4pit: > Japanese :4pit:
I miss Brooklyn :falco:
Don't forget about japan:metaknight:>:4metaknight: Though most of the japanese characters sound better imo (except the Pokemon of the Pokemon Trainer...)

Speaking of japanese characters though, I love how Falcon still speaks full english in the Japanese version of the game.
Japanese VA basically. Though, I've always wondered why they didn't make him speak Japanese in the Japanese versions.

Oh yeah, and I did do that personality thing yesterday: "Exclusively heterosexual."

Sounds like a plan; I'm on the Ladder tonight, although I had planned to play PM, I don't mind changing it up.


So... Between Smash Bros, I'm playing Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on the side after completing Link Between Worlds. THe latter was my game of the year so far, and the former is a pleasant surprise too! Am I the only one who enjoys it? :p

Of course not, cause I loves me some Skyward Sward! One of the most fun combat systems that really makes you feel like a true swordsman, learning how to properly position your sword for precise attacks instead of just mashing on the B button for a few seconds. Plus it has some great characters such as the hammy Demon Lord Ghirahim, Fi, and of course DA GROOSE!

This reminds me of something... Oh, yes...


I have a craving for lobster now. That image also reminds me of something...
