At this point, I want to throw up all over this thread--after all, most of the past 10 or so pages is just incessant word vomit, anyhow. There is equally many personal attacks coming from one side as the other. It's appalling, really. Let us, for a moment, think: What Would Toad Do? (WWTD) Toad is a peaceful little guy, and he's not big on violence. Yes, he'll step up to the challenge when necessary and defend his princess, but he won't go picking a fight. I really can't defend either side in this case, because both groups have by and large resorted to name-calling, petty threats, and silly arguing.
Why do you guys care? They don't go an troll in your threads. Let people have their opinions. Sheesh. It's a game.
Why are there always big arguments in this topic?
Why can't the Toad haters just leave the Toad fans alone? Is it such a hard concept?
You want to moan about Toad's importance to the Mario series? Fine. Redundant, but fine. But there's a way of going about it without being rude for no reason to people who haven't done you any harm.
Those three posts make the most sense to me. This place should be a nice little haven for Toad fans, peppered with peaceful discussion of the character among supporters and non-supporters alike. We don't need these flame wars and personal attacks, and I frankly just don't want them around.
If you're just going to keep *****ing about me "trolling about Toad", I might just do so. You obviously hate me for not wanting Toad, and make up false accusations along the way.
But how do your personal issues with a member (or members, as it were) of the boards justify detracting from the experience of the rest of the forum-goers by trolling through a thread that they enjoy? It doesn't make sense, and it's unfair to the rest of us.
I don't hate you for not wanting Toad. I'm just bothered by the way you approach the people in this thread. Your first post coming back into this thread was "How do you people not get that Toad is just a bland filler character?"
In case you weren't aware of the tone of that sentence, it comes off as incredibly rude. You don't like Toad. That's very clear, and that's okay. But you do not need to storm into a thread full of Toad fans and insult their character that way for no good reason. If you just wanted to post your opinion about Toad in a polite way, that would've been alright. Someone would've surely posted their disagreeance with you, but it probably would've just evolved into healthy discussion. Instead, we're practically at a flame war. It's really no wonder you've been accused of being a troll. What did you expect to happen when you posted that in a thread that clearly houses fans of Toad?
Circus has got it right. It's not the thought, it's the way in which the thought is being expressed that is causing problems--and on both sides, no less! Fans and non-fans alike are getting angry about this, and it's just disheartening.
I'm explaining my view of him. Besides, you're saying that "I don't think Ashley should be in Brawl" in an Ashley thread is trolling? I hope not.
Krystal is much more the troll here. I don't flame anyone unless provoked. Krystal comparing Geno to a mother****ing Digimon got me pumped. You pull this crap on me one more time, and I'll be the Krystal to your Toad thread.
Well, in this case, the "crap" being "pulled" is almost entirely related to the contents and goings-on of this thread. My best advice in this case--and from an objective standpoint, at that--is to just stop posting here. If it bothers you so much, and if you really don't like the character in the first place, this probably isn't the thread for you.
If Krystal has wronged you, I'm sorry. But the other Toad fans in here don't deserve the spillover from your vendetta against her.
Exactly. No one else should suffer for one person's words and/or actions. If it's really
that important to either of you, take it to PMs.
Oh by the way, if I do get infraction for you reporting me, there'll be hell to pay for alot more people. Don't start a chain reaction.
...Are you kidding?
Threatening someone over an infraction on Smashboards? This is ridiculous. And by that, I don't mean just you (really!). You probably wouldn't warrant an infraction on your own, but I would say that a good lot of you deserve a collective infraction for what's been posted lately. I think you would agree, though, that threatening a "chain reaction" is a tad juvenile, no?
Anyone has a chance, I can give you that. But, in this situation, a low one. Taking away Toad from Peach nerfs her badly.
I agree, actually. Until Sakurai says "NO," any character really has a chance--a possibility, which disregards likelihood (or lack thereof). Someone recently posted an item from the Melee polls in which Sakurai said something to the effect of " Sukapon probably won't appear in any future Smash titles." Does it sound like Sukapon won't be in Brawl? Yes, which is very sad. But is it written in stone? Of course not! The possibility is still there, it just seems poor at this point in time.
I'll have to disagree on the second point, though. I love Toad, but I don't think that taking him away nerfs Peach that badly. Then again, the nerf would be contingent upon the move with which they replace Toad. Also, it seems as though Toad's knockback on a counter was actually increased in Brawl, so the drawback of no Toad would be felt more heavily in Brawl as opposed to Melee.
Bottom line here:
Stop fighting. Take it to PMs. Do people like Biggie and vesperview need to reevaluate their priorities when they take a condescending / derogatory tone while posting in this thread about their disapproval of Toad? Of course! But should people like LostAddict and Brawlmatt be resorting to personal attacks just to fuel the proverbial fire? Of course not! Everyone just needs to calm down.
If you like Toad, stay here and we can discuss him peacefully. If you dislike Toad and feel the need to remind everyone that Toad's chances are slim--something that most of us accept (myself included)--then this probably isn't the thread for you. If you want to discuss things civilly and without rehashing the arguments that rile up posters already red in tooth and claw, I have no objections.
Now, in hopes of beginning a new era in this thread, I present a neat little Kinopio paper craft I found. Everyone here should make one to keep busy. :bigthumbu
