Friendly reminder, if you're organizing WiFi friendlies, I recommend moving the conversation out of the social once you've found someone to actually play. Saves the problem of double posting.

Merry (belated) Christmas everyone! Seems like everyone here had a good Christmas, so that's good. :)
Here are my late Christmas presents to everyone. And by Christmas presents I mean images from a long time ago that I found on my computer and thought they would be funny to share.

So I don't know if any of you saw these before, but around the time when Smash for 3DS was about to release, people were getting their family members/loved ones who didn't know much about video games to try and recognize the roster. I got my sister and my dad to participate, but I never really posted this anywhere.

Some of the characters are missing because this was before release, but the hilarity of some of their guesses are still there. Hope you guys get a kick out of this.

:4greninja: - "She Devil" and "Nimrod"? :rotfl:

Thanks for sharing, this was great for some laughs! Now I'm off to go play some Legend of Marsha: Tri Force Heroes.

Edit - Saw this and had to share!

In an effort to determine why I'm so bad against robin I've decided to temporarily(?) pick up the character.

If anyone wants to wreck a bad robin, I'd be glad to play.

Don't listen to them, I'm one of you. I have zero ulterior motives.
I'm playing with Nah Nah at the moment but if you'd like some help in the matchup we could help each other out at some point. I'm not amazing by any chance though so you may even beat me :3

Apologies in advance for terrible Irish internet.

I'll send a request now if you want a couple matches? I can't stay too much longer though but we can have some another time anyways if you're still up for it afterwards.

Well knowing your enemy is half the battle honestly so it's not a bad idea.

I'll appreciate that. Sorry to take your time off :/
It's no problem! I also totally forgot how much time I actually spent scaling images of the characters haha.

Anyways, here's a blank updated version with all of the characters.

and here's a direct link to the image if you want that instead.
Happy quizzing!

EDIT: OH my goodness I forgot Bayonetta. I was going to put her on like three or four times, but put someone else on instead. :facepalm:
EDIT 2: OK I fixed it, Bayonetta's now on there. :kirby:

So due to it ACTUALLY snowing for once this year (lightest Minnesota winter ever, not that I'm complaining), me and my sister have to postpone our after-Christmas visit with our dad and grandma, meaning our Christmas is getting extended a bit! Sure I already know what we're getting ($$$$$) which is perfectly fine with me, since I'm planning on putting it all towards getting a PS4.

Also, I had to share this hilarious little poem my younger sister came up with!

"All of these Christmas presents under the tree,
when all I really want is Kingdom Hearts 3."
It still hasn't snowed much at all this year.
The only time I remembered it snowing where I live was when I went to my tournament.
(And I didn't bring my computer to my Grandparents' house so I have to rely on mobile)

And that poem is perfect.

I'm fine with it being a mild winter and it not snowing here yet. I don't like the cold or the snow.

Same here. In fact, I've gotten so used to the cold, I can go outside in a tshirt and shorts and be completely fine.

The way you word it makes it sound like it's more than a fluke.

There's not really anything to suggest it wasn't just a fluke. :p

In a game where it's possible to control up to 7 characters with one controller via glitching I have a hard time believing in flukes at this point. :p

Couldn't help but think about this the entire time...

Me and @Izayoi have actually run into people who try to control 2 characters at the same time in 2v2 FG. We don't fall for it though since we separate them and it ends up screwing one character or the other.

My friend's cousins are over and she wants me to entertain them with Sm4sh

She told them that I was the second best Robin in the world. I'm honored but there are so many things wrong with that statement

Good luck trying to entertain them anyway

*raises eyebrow*

By process of elimination, someone has to be the best Robin.

Spoilers: It's probably me.
Because you're the only Robin aside from @Matsushi who went as far as most of would ever dream of.

Even though both of you guys will probably drop Robin for :4corrin:&

I don't understand how people can be so loyal to a character and then drop them for a character that isn't even out yet. We don't even know how good Corrin will be. People thought Cloud would be busted before he came out and people are already dropping him when they said they'd main him before they came out purely for his recovery.

Nairo's Robin is average as most of ours. His Meta Knight is much better than his Robin which didn't get him far.

If the possibility is that they would be a massive upgrade then expect Raz to move on to Corrin and Cloud has so many converters despite having a weak recovery and most of his moves are unsafe on Shield

With everyone talking about who's the best Robin, this seems like a good time to bring up the fact I've been here for a week, but I still haven't fought anyone. For all we know, I could be the best Robin! The only reason Raziek won SoS3 is because I was too late to enter. :shades:

Anyone want to face the world's best Robin?
If you do, then I'm sorry because all that was sarcasm (I don't know if it was obvious enough), I'm definitely nowhere near being world's best anything. I'd still like to maybe have a few matches though.

I think it is likely. Dath has played and beaten Nairo in dittos, and I beat Dath in dittos. Dath also tells me that I would most likely win the ditto vs. Nairo. So it seems a reasonable claim to make.
Because you're the only Robin aside from @Matsushi who went as far as most of would ever dream of.

You're forgetting Dath.

The list of Robin players who currently matter is: Raziek, Dath, Nairo, Matsushi.

@Mr. Johan would be on that list if he had a placing outside of his region (or at a large regional) to give me a frame of reference. Mr. II (Japan) might be on that list as well, but I don't know what kind of results he actually gets. I just appropriate and utilize the tech he posts.

I don't understand how people can be so loyal to a character and then drop them for a character that isn't even out yet. We don't even know how good Corrin will be. People thought Cloud would be busted before he came out and people are already dropping him when they said they'd main him before they came out purely for his recovery.

Two things:

1) You're severely underrating Nairo's Robin. I think Dath and I are better (at Robin), but he would still slap the **** out of literally everyone else who posts in this chat just by virtue of his amazing skill as a player.

2) Assumptions that I'm going to 'drop' Robin are pretty baseless. Both Dath and I have expressed our intent to play Corrin. Both of us have said we want to dual main both characters. It's highly unlikely that Corrin would cause me to drop Robin completely unless Corrin is just bat**** busted and totally obsoletes Robin as a character.

I fully intend to play both characters, using them for matchup/playstyle swaps as needed.
