I'm doing pretty good today, I got two elwind spike kills in FG so that's nice. How are you?

I'm good. Pretty boring day today really. I met a really good Falco on FG though so that was interesting.

it's a bit early to tell, but how do you think he'll fare overall in the game? I've seen some people already exaggeratedly claiming he's bottom tier on the very day of release, which is ridiculous.

Maybe mid-tier. Mewtwo is fairly light and is a big target, but he has some amazing aerial moves, high damaging and long ranged smash attacks, and great specials like Confusion and Shadow Ball.

 

[Moydow]

I want to see many Mewtwo, so we get more of this

Lovely classic match as always.

Mewtwo has pretty good combo potential as well. People just need to get good with him. I think he'll end up a lower high-tier, given his potential. And I don't think his nature as a floaty glass canon automatically disqualifies his potential as far as getting combos in. Plus the fact that a lot of his attacks can launch at reasonably low damage percentages, so I think that merits him even further. And his floatiness is more than made up fore by his great aerials IMO. So I think all those people claiming he's a low-tier or even below upper mid-tier have it way wrong.

Of course this is just from what I've seen of Mewtwo thus far; I haven't actually played him myself yet...

If one of you guys wants a 3DS Mewtwo code, it's highly unlikely I'll actually use him ever, so I might as well give mine away.

Note: If multiple people come forward and ask me, the selection will be made arbitrarily at my own discretion.

I'll sign up for this if you don't mind, it's pretty kind of you to gift one of your codes

 

[Raziek]

Just for the record, don't expect it tonight.

I'll be handing it out sometime tomorrow after people have had time to check the thread.

 

[RobinOnDrugs]

Mewtwo is essentially a glass cannon. He's got a lot of moves that can KO pretty early compared to other characters, but on the same token, his weight makes him very easy to KO as well. It doesn't take much to send him flying. Still, he can be a very satisfying character to play as, and I can't wait till the 28th so we can see him in tournament play (I heard Mewtwo's illegal until everybody else has access to him).

Also, his Shadow alt. is best alt.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Bout time something else I made gets used.

You're wrong. St. Garon blessed me with this gif of a squirrel to save this thread!

Pretty sure that was St. Google, homie.

My worst fears as Robin:

1. Pikachu

....well.

@ redfeatherraven be ready for some awesome OC support talk. I'll PM you when I am ready to start

Nifty. I'll reevaluate my OC in preparation.

@ Moydow Side note: Got the gf into Ace Attorney tonight, partly to make sense of your Edgeworth reactions. Thank you sir.

 

[Chapter Serf]

Nooooo, what have you done. You quoted my post before I edited that out. Now it's too late. This thread needs redemption so I will post something cute.

That is so god damn adorable.

Guys omg Selena VIVE was a great concert. It ended with Selena singing Como La Flor and all the performers from the night got up and sang along with a children's choir group. Omg it was a perfect way to end.

So what have I missed while I was away?

In other news, I have that Lobster Attorney (or Ryoumaichi Naruhodou as I've taken to calling him) image translated, but there are a few points I'm not sure on, so I'm going to leave it for now, and finish it tomorrow. It's... interesting, at least. "Kawaii Kamui" o.O

Point-and-click text adventure/visual novel where you play as a defence lawyer, and have to get your clients found "not guilty" by figuring out the contradictions between the witnesses' statements and the facts. The main appeal for a lot of people is in the characters though.

[False Sense]

You play as the world's worst defense attorney who is somehow almost always defending a non-guilty client due to an incompetent legal system, and miraculously manages to prove his clients innocent through finding logical contradictions and magic.

Not to be taken seriously.

Adult Link looks so dumb in a little kart, to the point that is awkwardly adorable

like a grown up man going through a mid life crisis...
Actually that's no so adorable.

Yeah. This is why I'm mostly against of the idea of Captain Falcon being a dlc character. Lets just have F-Zero inspired tracks...

I didn't know about the Birdo thing until now... curse my curiosity...

So a lawyer version of Professor Layton?

Not quite in the 4/20 spirit, but close enough:
Some time ago I said I should totally make a HD version of

Well, since I'm sick and staying at home today, I had some time to kill:

I think I still like the framing, pose and the size of the original more, but the editing is much better on the new one.

If you like Visual Novels, you'll love it.

Every single character in it has their own quirks and you'll soon love each and every one of them - except the villains maybe.

The undefeatable trio: from left to right:

• The silent snarker Ace Attorney
• The naïve Judge who always hands down the right verdict
• The snobby Prosecutor

I want to play as Mewtwo SO BADLY! Plz give him to me! ;^;

As you can see, he was my main in Melee. I grew up watching Mewtwo Strikes Back over and over again on VHS. He was and is the bestest Pokemon ever. If I don't get him I'll cry. ;^; And then I'll tell my mommy and daddy and then you'll be in trouble...

Spoiler

JK about that last part. But I still REALLY want Mewtwo! (and I'll still cry... )

P.S. I can almost guarantee people will get on this thread just to ask you. They'll probably get an account on Smashboards if they don't already have one just to do so.

 

[FalKoopa]

Actually, I have a spare 3DS Mewtwo code too. Tag me here if you're interested.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCINA!!! <3

Last year, I created a Lucina appreciation thread of sorts as a way of letting fans of Lucina share why they love her so much. In celebration of her birthday, allow me to explain why I love Lucina SO much and why she is considered my favourite female video game character of all time. <3

To start off, let me regal to you the story of my first encounter with Lucina in Awakening and go from there.

Spoiler

When "Marth" was finally revealed to be Lucina in chapter 13, I in no way saw this coming. In fact, I was incredibly surprised by the very fact that she was Chrom's daughter from the future. I had really liked her character when she was personifying "Marth" and after she was revealed to be a woman but it wasn't until chapter 13 that solidified my love, admiration and respect for Lucina as a character. When Chrom said to Lucina, "You deserved better from me than one sword and a world of troubles. I'm sorry," and Lucina started to cry, I was both in shock and in tears by the revelation of everything that had just happened. Here's the cutscene so you understand what I mean and why I felt this way.

Lucina had gone through so much before reaching this point. She had lost her parents, family and some friends to Grima and the Risen, had to rule Ylisse in the absent of her parents at such a young age, had to experience a hellish apocalyptic world that was full of despair, death and ruin, was separated from her allies/time travelling friends, masqueraded as someone she was not for around two years, not to mention was alone most if not all of the time within that two year time span after Gangrel's death, and had her parents and loved ones right in front of her many times but couldn't say anything so she didn't mess with the timeline. Yet, within the moment she revealed her true self as Lucina, the mask came off, the barriers dropped, and all the burdens she carried, the anguish and sadness she had kept inside was finally released because of her father's tender words and the relief of finally being Lucina once more.

It was a moment I will never forget, and one that touched me on a level that I didn't think was possible. I rarely cry or tear up with video games, but Fire Emblem: Awakening was most definitely a welcome exception. From that point on, I wanted to know more about Lucina as a character and I felt a connection with her because in many ways, I could relate given how much hardship I had gone through in the last few years of my life and how I constantly had to wear masks to hide my true feelings from others and so I could remain strong for others because I needed to. While I never had to go through even a fraction of the horrible things she went through, I still know the pains and suffering of loss, of being someone your not due to circumstances and trying to be strong for others because you have to, not because you want to.

And when I began to invest myself into the support conversations with Lucina and Robin, I grew to love her even more. I saw a strong, independent and a very wise woman within Lucina, a woman who was constantly worried about the future and felt the burden of changing fate itself rested upon her and her alone. Yet, within Robin and Lucina's support conversation, it's clear that she's no longer alone, that she doesn't have to carry the weight and responsibility of the future by herself any more because of Robin, Chrom, her mother, the Shepards and of course her allies and friends were there to support her. Lucina had also grown up too fast because she was thrust into a hellish world that required her to become someone far more than what she was currently. However, she proved to be up to the task and it's clear that she had become a woman long before even entering adulthood. But because of this, she was missing a sense of innocence that had been taken from her and it's through the various support conversations with her parents that we see that innocence and child like Lucina come out. Also, her support conversations with Robin really convey to me that these two broken characters are able to become complete because of each other, because they want a better future for themselves for a past that is lost to them.

At the end of chapter 21, when Lucina pointed her sword at me and demanded that I forfeit my life for Chrom, I wept like a little child but the choice was not difficult for me to make. I would have given anything to see Lucina smile once more and so that she may have the future she desired and wanted, even at the cost of my own life. It was such a heart wrenching moment, to see Lucina struggle with the very notion of killing her own husband, the man she loved to save the future of everyone, including her father. If any moment within this game was the pinnacle moment for Lucina, I would have to say it was this very scene with her and Robin. It was emotional, raw and was truly deep and sad as that scene still echoes into my mind to this very day. I cry every time I see this scene and I'm not afraid to admit it because it was Lucina at her best, a woman determined to do anything to change the very fate of her future, even if that meant killing the one man she loved or, if you were were married to Chrom as the female Robin, the mother she loved dearly and admired.

She is the epitome of a strong, independent, wise, and truly beautiful woman and because of that, I became enamored with her character and knew that my player avatar had to marry her as soon as possible. As a man, I am very much attracted to women like Lucina as she personifies the best characteristics of a woman in my personal opinion. She's beautiful, both on the inside and the outside, is a passionate woman of truth and justice, has strong moral convictions and isn't afraid to stand up for them, is just as fragile on the inside as you or I but is able to retain a sense of self and strength to overcome her weaknesses and follies. We need more female characters like Lucina who are bursting with depth and complexity, who has a beauty that doesn't need to be shown through cleavage or exposing flesh, and who makes us as individuals want to be come a better human being overall.

She is without a doubt, my favorite female character in all of video gaming alongside the likes of Palutena from Kid Icarus: Uprising and Naoto from Persona 4. I love her as a female character and I love her as a Smash Bros. character, clone and all. Lucina has awakened my heart and I love her dearly. <3

Wait the codes region locked? If thats the case I will have to wait too.

Wait the codes region locked? If thats the case I will have to wait too.

I believe they are, back during the SMTxFE promotion I had to change my eshop account to a canada region as I made my club Nintendo account canadian , otherwise the 30$ coupon wasn't compatible. Good thing this was before you were tied to your NN id region, otherwise I could have been screwed.
