tbh Lauara Baily, Liam O'Brian and Jonny Yong Bosch should just voice everyone.

./notbiased
That's what Atlus has been saying to themselves for the past few years :estatic:

Like I enjoy and respect them as voice actors, but I'm kinda getting sick of hearing them in almost everything. Them along with others especially Yuri Lowenthal

So I've been lurking for quite a while but decided I'd at least finally introduce myself here. I've not been one to really have much to contribute but I figure after being in the shadows for so long I could say at least something.

Anyways, hello! I go by SpeedBump and Smash 4 has been the first game I've ever really considered a Smash title I wanted to be more serious about (having created this account during Apex). I've played all the other Smash games but mostly for fun with friends, even when we'd do 1v1s and stuff. I've never been to a tournament though I'm working up the courage to look into a scene that isn't too far from where I live.

On the 3DS I was initially finding RosaLuma to be one of my favorite characters (she still is!). However, I really rediscovered how much I love Robin...so much so I made him my main! (White Mage Robin for life :4robinm:).

I've also been playing a lot of :4dedede:, :rosalina:, and :4fox:.

I think that's a sufficiently long introduce. I may not be around a whole lot, but I figure this should suffice as an introduction so I don't appear as a poster from out of nowhere. Thanks! :b:
Welcome to our little community here! If you've been lurking then I need to say little about this thread.

If you're being honest about being more serious with this specific Smash entry, then you actually joined at a pretty good time. Lately, it's been pretty easy finding people who wants to play in this thread. Our beloved moderator himself, @ Raziek Raziek is currently running a gauntlet and series of training matches as we speak.

Thank you everyone for the welcome!

And oh, my timing is good then! If possible I think I would be willing to participate in some training. Certainly depends on Raziek and his time. And if he doesn't, there's always another time or with others around here I'm sure. :) Twitch streams have been helpful for this since I've had the chance to get some non-For Glory exposure to characters and stages. I know of Anther's Ladder, too, though I haven't tried it yet.

In other random news, American Pharaoh won the Belmont Stakes to become the first horse to win the Triple Crown in 37 years.

Let's stir up some conversation in this thread shall we?

Since the Japanese version of If is coming out in a couple weeks, here's an interesting question; What english VAs do you want/hope to hear in the English version? What VAs do you want to return?

I'm calling it now; Laura Bailey will do the voice of Aqua.
I don't really care for voice actors except NOT having Yuri Lowenthal, I hate that guy's performance. Asides from that, if the voice acting is anything like Awakening, does it really matter? It's just used for a few short clips...I can't really grow attached to anyone like that.

Holy ****... Doing the Charger Challenge on the Final Boss in Splatoon is HARD. I am NOT looking forward to taking that guy on with the Roller.

I fear I may miss the 1,000th Page...

I know pretty much nothing about horse racing, even though nearly my entire family are pretty big into it
I don't know much either, but I do know the Triple Crown is REALLY hard to get and very prestigious.

I found it way easier with the charger honestly. Reflects the Missiles with 2 uncharged shots.

Also it's not as bad as you think with the Roller. The Kraken is invincible, remember.

Also I got shieldbroken. Still won tho.

Kraken is going to be a joke, but I'm still fearing the roller.

I have a Ganon player in my area that gets 2nd/3rd in the weeklies if he doesn't fight me because brackets are bad and randomized every time. The matchup's a blast.

Too bad that even with Dropkick, Arcfire on Battlefield more or less stops him anyway in my experience.

You run Arcfire on stages with platform cover and Fire Wall literally everywhere else.

Ganon can do literally nothing to Full-hop retreating Fire Wall if he's not already past it.

Yep. You got one.

When I shut my brain off and got hit by F-Smash at 63 and Aerial Wizkick at 80.

And still kept it close playing braindead.

You did it!
I achieved my goal anyways.

And I mean, you still got hit by them so...

So I'm in the middle of playing through Sacred Stones for the first time when one of my units gets put to sleep. Granted this is my first time seeing a unit in the sleep status outside of the Tellius games, so I'm like "Oh ****!"

But then I noticed that your unit is pretty much normal except they can't move or attack during your turn. They are still able to dodge and I'm just curious how that works.

I know you didn't mean any hard feelings. xD

Good games dude. Your Link is definitely the best I've played, but holy **** that matchup makes me want to kill myself. It's not like it's too hard, or Robin loses or anything, it's just so ****ing LAAAAAAME. I just have to camp you all day and nothing you have is punishable and it's like come onnnnnnnn

Biggest piece of advice I have is you, like many Links, push too many goddamn buttons.

Just because you CAN throw a projectile out literally any time that you exist on the screen, doesn't mean you should.

Bombs bombs everywhere. :awesome:

GGs though.~

I'm just proud of myself because I only got gimped like 5% of the time as Link.

I was coming in expecting Nairplanes for years.

I know voice acting is not something to worry about for a game like FE, but I thought it would be an interesting question to ask everybody.

Yeah if I can't get out to hit you BEFORE you're in Tether range it's really ****ing hard to actually gimp you. I did manage to spike you out of your tether with Elwind a few times, but it wasn't exactly planned most of the time. Just kind of 'maybe this will get him'.

@ SkarmNightmare (Brett) SkarmNightmare (Brett) : I've gotta call it for tonight I think. I'm tired as hell now. I don't usually do that many sessions right in a row, I'm a bit fried. I can find sometime on Monday or Tuesday probably, but for tonight I need to rest.

The fact that in hindsight, a number of those matches that could've been saved and uploaded as replays (potentially; read: all of the matches that we played) are just straight campfests just made me lol.
