Social "Time to Tip the Scales!" - Robin Social Thread

[NonSpecificGuy]

I much prefer playing the Sonic Adventure levels than anything in SA2 and Unleashed.

aka I like playing a Sonic game than I do Corridors: The Game.

Too little Sonic, amaright?

 

[Mr. Johan]

I couldn't give a damn about how many characters are in a game. I could play Sonic, I could play as 10 Sonic characters, I can play as a goddamn Flicky for all I care.

Are the levels fun? That's all that matters.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

NOOOOO! that reminds me of those cross over guys who work with Gametheory. He said the Majora's Mask was overrated but worst of all, he said the Spirit Tracks should have never been made. Can you believe it?!

He's known for his unpopular opinions, he has an entire show about them.

You didn't really enjoy playing as Eggman and Tails in Mech Suits did you?

 

[Mr. Johan]

Good concept, subpar execution. Gamma did it better.

Cosmic Wall tho. <3

I actually played that game back when it came out. Rented it.

Summary of experience:

RIP Weekend

Like, I wouldn't say it's the worst game of all time like many claim, but it truly is an awful game. At that age, when I was able to rent a game, I just took what I could get. So having to play that...

I still see the rings. It's been over fifteen years and I still see the rings.

Movie Gallery? Me too. I couldn't get him in the first fracking ring. Replayed it 3 years ago, couldn't make it, had to use cheats.
And I personally think Bubsy 3D is the worst game ever, screw that thing.

 

[The Merc]

When were the last you played these games? Believe me, the reason I think Sonic Adventure was bad was because of EgoRaptor telling JonTron in a playthrough of Sonic '06 that Sonic Adventure was just like it, I didn't believe either of them when they said it was so I went back and replayed it. I was surprised at how bad it actually was. And I didn't make it through Croc 1 or 2, only got like half-way.

It was a while a go. Like years ago. Yeah, I saw the Game grumps episode and, I thought he was bull****ing me, so, boom, I shot him. (cookie if you get the reference). But then I saw how right he was, sonic 06 is like the adventure games, the difference begin that the adventure games were good and not broke.

I've never actually PLAYED Bubsy 3D, but after seeing videos online featuring it... I'm not picky on graphics in games, but looking at that game even in video form makes me head hurt.

Hong has been traumatized by rings.

Lex wins.

The world is doomed.

I still have to wonder who looked at Superman and thought, "hmm, Superman game... Well, Superman can fly... Flying... Oh, he could fly through... Uh, rings! Yes, rings!"

 

[AustarusIV]

It's a shame that the PS1 version of the game was never completed and released in stores. From the looks of the archived video footage, it would have been much, much better than the final product of a turd that we got instead.

 

[shrooby]

Hong has been traumatized by rings.

Your friends are dead.

Game over.

Let us go out this evening for pleasure.

The night is still young.

 

[False Sense]

Well, happy 400 pages of Robin support! How are we celebrating?

Lovely.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Did Robin make it in the game yet? I'm tired of the suspense.

 

[LIQUID12A]

400 pages? I completely forgot.

FOR LIFE~

There, I'm done celebrating.

 

[Deleted member]

We're talking about Superman 64 and 3D Sonic games?

Superman 64... is garbage. I think I had a copy of it, but I never played it. Looking at various footage though, the game looks hilariously bad. It's as if they didn't even try!
...It also looks like it will be a year where ProtonJon won't post the next episode of Superman 64.

As for the Sonic games, I actually really liked Adventure 1. I could care less about how many characters I have; playing as Sonic in a 3D environment in Adventure is absolutely gorgeous to me and it's honestly my favorite play style in the series. Tails and Knuckles also had some fun parts, Amy and Gamma were meh, and Big can die in a hole.
I find Adventure 2 to be overrated. I like some of the levels with Sonic and Shadow, but the product as a whole wasn't that good in my opinion. I haven't touched Sonic Heroes in years... screw that castle stage. I also haven't touched Unleashed in a while because I hate the night time stages.
I love Colors and Generations! While these games have a great sense of speed, I don't have a great sense of control like I do in the Adventure titles. Lost World is just alright in my opinion.
...I didn't forget THAT title. I played through Sonic 06 and honestly... I loved it for all the wrong reasons. It's so hilariously bad that I can't help but enjoy this mess of a game. Thank you for making this wonderful piece of trash, Sega.

Well, happy 400 pages of Robin support! How are we celebrating?

WITH A FEAST!

Spoiler

Did Robin make it in the game yet? I'm tired of the suspense.

I dunno... I really hope so.
It's just that the Gematsu leak has gotten everything right so far, even if Little Mac and Palutena were predictable and Greninja was vaguely listed. That and I can't see any other newcomer in the Fire Emblem franchise get in. I have a feeling that it's going to be Chrom...
It's not like his trailer will start with him laying on the ground while Robin and Lucina save him and Chrom doesn't fight at all, right? I really hope this happens because I don't want Chrom... at all. I guess we should prepare ourselves for #MonadoMonday.

You know, it's still rather surreal to think that we're even able to joke and celebrate about Robin being in Smash like this...

 

[IceAnt573]

So...how about that Sonic Boom? It's already looking laughably bad.

 

[Shaymikyu]

To be fair, "who's Robin?" would be my response had you asked me prior to the reveal, and maybe even after. I think my mind was just so fixated on "COOL DARK MAGE GUY AND GIRL" to process anything else... Which is funny, because Awakening DOES have a Dark Mage class and it looks almost nothing like Robin's default. When I first played Awakening, I was so confused by Robin being called a Tactician... Of course, the scale-tipping line should have tipped me off.

 

[Deleted member]

I knew that game was a bad idea from the beginning. Look at this footage:
NOTE: This is the final product. This isn't alpha or beta, they put this into the market.

Then again, Robin in Smash is surreal to begin with, especially when people found a certain character to be inevitable due to leaks...

 

[Mr. Johan]

Honestly didn't expect much from something made by ex-Naughty Dog developers.

At least the brunt of the blame is on Big Red Button's shoulders, not SEGA's.

EWWWW EWWW EWWWW EWWWWW

THIS IS DISGUSTING

THIS IS ABOMINABLE

SLENDER KNUCKLES IS GROSS

 

[AustarusIV]

Did Robin make it in the game yet? I'm tired of the suspense.

Nope, he didn't get in, unfortunately. But we should try to look on the bright side of things, at least he makes a cameo appearance in Chrom's Final Smash!

Just look at that incredible detail...Makes you wonder if he was ever considered during development.

 

[Shaymikyu]

So...how about that Sonic Boom? It's already looking laughably bad.

I downloaded the 3DS theme, but that's because I can never turn down free things. I actually have never paid close attention to Sonic. It's not necessarily a bad series. The gameplay is just not my cup of tea.

Speaking of themes, they've been adding more lately, though none I want to buy. The best have been the Link Between Worlds (which I might buy if I ever get Link Between Worlds) and the Isabelle ones (because Isabelle is cute). I'm still hoping for a theme for OR/AS (though I'll have to wait a few days after it's release to get it).

I still don't get why they added Medusa as a Palutena clone. Wouldn't Dark Pit as a Pit clone make more sense if they absolutely needed clones?

The return of Pichu absolutely shocked me, though. I never expected him to come back! The fourth FE rep being Priam as an Ike clone was also an unusual choice.

 

[False Sense]

Oh dear...

Exactly. To think that Robin, a character often dismissed entirely due to being an "avatar," got in Smash after everyone was so sure that Chrom was a shoo-in from day one, a belief that was only cemented by the Gematsu leak... It's hard to believe.

Honestly, the avatar argument goes out the window thanks to . You could even argue since the Pokémon heroes are usually meant to be you (to the point of the X and Y ones being customizable).

That's what I said, but did they listen? Nope, because if you don't appear on the box art or aren't a "lord," you're completely ineligible for the roster.

Honestly, I didn't expect much knowing the source material it was based on. My expectations were pretty low and I had no plans buying the game.

Well... at least Robin got in some form! ...Heh... I wish Sakurai considered Robin as a playable character. It sucks that he was delegated as a Final Smash. Then again, FS Robin is better than no Robin.

I'm hoping for a Smash theme and a Xenoblade theme to come to America soon. I would buy those in a heartbeat!
My current theme is the Luigi one. I just hope that the majority of the themes that they make don't strictly come from Mario...

I still don't get why they added Medusa as a Palutena clone. Wouldn't Dark Pit as a Pit clone make more sense if they absolutely needed clones?

The return of Pichu absolutely shocked me, though. I never expected him to come back! The fourth FE rep being Priam as an Ike clone was also an unusual choice.

It's because Dark Pit is a stage hazard on Palutena's Temple, remember? Besides, I know that people will love Medusa as a slower, but more powerful Palutena.

I heard Sakurai wanted to bring back a Melee veteran and he decided to go with everyone's favorite Pokemon... Pichu. I was surprised by Priam myself! I didn't think he would make it in!

Oh dear...

Sonic 06 has met its match.

Exactly. To think that Robin, a character often dismissed entirely due to being an "avatar," got in Smash after everyone was so sure that Chrom was a shoo-in from day one, a belief that was only cemented by the Gematsu leak... It's hard to believe.

I don't understand why the avatar argument was used against Robin, especially when the Pokemon Trainer and Villager were added into Smash. Why would being a player character go against Robin?
It's still a victory that I find hard to believe myself. Before playing Awakening, I dreaded Chrom because I knew he wouldn't offer anything unique. After playing Awakening, I dreaded him even more because he would poorly represent Awakening and I knew that there was more to the series than what Chrom could offer. I am ultimately satisfied with this outcome... it's still an unbelievable one, too.

That's what I said, but did they listen? Nope, because if you don't appear on the box art or aren't a "lord," you're completely ineligible for the roster.

Now that's poor reasoning.
Oh look, Tharja is on the box art for Awakening and not Robin... I guess she has a better chance than Robin despite her being a minor character and Robin being central to the story.
Shulk doesn't appear on the box art for Xenoblade, I guess we'll have to settle for the Mechonis.
It just seems to be straw-graspy reasons to exclude a character.

And they've rarely gone with Pokémon on the their covers, too. Only Pikachu and Charizard were on main game covers. By that logic, Lugia, Groudon, Giratina, Reshiram, and Xerneas among others are the only ones allowed in SSB, and Lucario, Mewtwo, Greninja, Jigglypuff, Pichu, Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle, and Ivysaur should never have been considered.

 

[Pikachewy99]

I know what you mean. I kind of have had a fan art itch lately and want to draw some of the characters (mainly Morgan), but some of the Awakening characters are... Complex. All those belts on Tacticians...

Do it. Make fan art. It'll make me and a lot of people happy regardless of how it looks.

I've given up on drawing Fire Emblem characters, they are all significantly detailed and I'm not very good in the first place.

But… fan art… D:

OH MY GODS THESE GIFS MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD I CAN't BREATHE ANYMORE HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

We can't be friends anymore.

It's when we start talking about Sonic Adventure when I have no qualms going to the mat.

Nah, you said it's a bad Zelda, that means we've got beef now.

I take my Majora's Mask fandom very seriously.
