Erdrick is almost guaranteed to be in as everyone and their grandmothers are saying they have proof of him. (Verge, Tansut, Hitagi, PolarPanda, Xenother, Etc.)

Banjo is looking more likely than Steve.

Master Chief is Deconfirmed, Cuphead is Deconfirmed, Dante is Deconfirmed, Travis Touchdown is Deconfirmed.

Don’t go there thinking that Lyn would be impossible to add in Smash doh.
She has a pre-existing model like Chrom from her assist trophy form in 4 and Ultimate, which could be used in a possible port on the next Nintendo console to make a fully playable version of her on it.

Assist trophy models are designed to be less taxing and not be seen up close. Chrom had to be made for closeups due to his inclusion in one Robin victory animation.

Erdrick is a great character.

But to say that Erdrick is more of a Brave character than other characters?

No he is not. Not even close.

Luckily the reason we actually say he's brave is because his class literally translate to Brave.

You know when you play a Pokemon game and you choose the inferior starter because you know nothing about the other options? So you stick with the run even if it's not at its most efficient? It's kind of like this except I have no real excuse to not try out imgur. I just saw imgflip first.

I don’t have a problem with that, so you are fine for me.

While y'all were sleeping I was on that NUZLOCKE GRIND.

It wasn't pretty.

This is Part 9 of my Generationlocke, and Part 6/8 of the Sacred Gold portion of the run

Summary:
View attachment 205562

Recap:

• With Lance out of the way, we can now access Kanto.
  • Hooray!!!!! /s
    • Arceus why can't this be over?
• Foci (Staryu -> Starmie), Trish (Chimchar -> Infernape), and Simba (Luxio -> Luxray) are added to fill the vacancies left behind in Lance's wake.
  • To the surprise of absolutely nobody, none of them make it out of this update alive.
• Drayano made some changes to the sequence of Kanto so you face the Gym Leaders in the order you face them in the original Kanto games.
  • Neat
• After an uneventful S.S. Anne, we move on to Pewter City
  • Apparently we're supposed to get more Hoenn starters here, but whatever.
  • I do backtrack to get the other two Sinnoh starters though.
• Brock goes down easy to a combination of Leafy and Foci.
• Up next is Route 3. Let's get Blue some levels since she'll be useless again-
  • Blue gets hard countered
    • 
      • You'll find this is a recurring trend this update.
• Okay, fine, whatever. Swoosh (Swablu -> Altaria) is added.
  • I really hope Swoosh makes it to the end since I love Altaria and would love to have it in further runs.
• Mt. Moon is easy in this game. It'll be noth-
  • Surprise Rival Fight!
    • ****.
  • It's nothing too difficult. Thankfully our team is balanced so we can counter his team.
  • He sends in Gengar, I send out Simba
    • Luxray is Electric/Dark Type
    • Gengar has Focus Blast
      • Of course
  • Simba gets blasted
    • Of course
  • Woody cleans up with Sucker Punch to finish the fight.
• Onwards to Cerulean I guess.
  • Candice (Snorunt -> Froslass) is brought on to the team
  • It's also worth mentioning that I'm limiting my captures on Routes in Kanto until a certain something happens, so I'm pretty much running off of the Pokémon I caught in Johto minus a few cases.
• Turns out you need to complete the Power Plant event before fighting Misty, but that didn't stop me from going to the Cape like an idiot anyways.
  • Woody gets sucked dry along the way.
• So, we go all the way to the Power Plant and then all the way back to Cerulean and then back to the Power Plant to complete the event.
  • Having Swoosh with Fly is a blessing. I'd like to make that known.
• So, with everything finished we cockblock Misty's date and take on her gym.
  • Her gym trainers aren't too bad
    • Candice gets special countered
      • I've never hated Mantine more than ever.
• So, all I have is Leafy for this fight. It shouldn't be too bad, right?
  • Wrong.
• Misty's first Pokémon is Politoed. Nothing too difficult, but it sets up Drizzle which is annoying.
• Up next is Lapras. Nothing too difficult again. Just set up screens and-
  • Leafy gets freeze-dried
    • Nothing quite like a good old fashioned critical hit, right?
    • There goes to OG Champion Team
• So, now I've got nothing to really fight Misty.
  • Thankfully, Foci manages to clutch out a win for us.
    • Never have a loved a Starmie more than when Foci got a critical hit to win us the match
• In the wake of Woody, Leafy, and Candice's deaths Kaija (Lairon -> Aggron) and DigDug (Digglet -> Dugtrio) are brought on.
• DigDug hard counters Lt. Surge so we don't even have to mention him besides this one line
• U(p next is Celadon, so let's go there.
  • Turns out Saffron, which I need to go through to get there, is still closed due to the Blackout that was supposed to be fixed by the Power Plant
    • "Go the long way" is what they tell me
      • :/
• Along the "long way" Foci gets special countered, Kaija gets water blasted, and DigDug gets freeze-dried
  • I'll admit that Kaija and DigDug's deaths were the result of my own tired, stupidity, but Foci got countered by another ****ing Mantine
    • For the rest of my life I'll carry a grudge against ****ing Mantine's and their Mirror Coat or whatever the **** it's called.
• TurtleLion, Corona, Triton, and Sleepy are all brought on to fill team slots.
• Fuschia city has a neat new event where you have to fight Cloysters?
  • We got a shiny one with Skill Link though, so I'm not complaining.
• Now we fight Janine
  • I'm pretty much relying on Foci since he's all I got for this one.
  • She sends out Venomoth
    • Uh-oh Bug type attacks
  • Swap into Trish to tank a Bug Type attack
    • Psychic
      • Meant for Starmie
        • ???
    • Trish gets psycho blasted
      • 
  • The fight is closed out by Sleepy and Swoosh
• Sakura (Vulpix -> Ninetales) is brought on at the very end for the coming gyms

Comments:

• I'm at 32 deaths. That's over a box full of dead Pokémon.
  • I'll admit some of them are due to bad playing, but this is also a difficult ROM hack.
    • This isn't even the hardest one of them
      • I'm considering altering my rule on transferring Legendaries because of this. Maybe I'll do it for some.
        • You know what? Screw it. I will.
          • Rule Addition: If a Legendary Pokémon is in OU or below within the generation being played, they can be transferred
            • I'm making an exception for Renegade Platinum since it might as well be Gen 7 with the changes implemented.
          • Another rule addition that I've added is in regards to the use of save editing. Alongside changing levels and EVs to catch up, I'm allowing the alteration of IVs given the following stipulation for the sake of fairness: the only number that may be added is a 1 (31 is the highest value allowed with this)
            • i.e. if a Pokémon has an IV of 7, I can make it 17 by adding a 1 in front of the 7.
              • Again, this may seem incredibly lame, especially given that other people have made it through these games without these stipulations, but these are games where stats matter more than anything else. As you can see, even with these "safety rules" my team is dropping like flies. I don't see this changing anytime soon.
• I'd also like to comment on how much I enjoy watching team compositions change in Nuzlockes. You really get some diverse teams and I like that.

Anyways, I guess for Kanto we'll just go by 4 badges at a time. This means I've got Erika, Sabrina, Blaine, and Blue coming up before we're finally ready to fight Red. Wish me luck everyone. I'll surely need it.

Wait are you going to play Insurgence too?

Okay, me posting the mario country roads meme is officially one of my top few most liked posts. (and it wasn't even my own content , rip)

On the other hand, I've gotten more likes in the last 2 weeks than I have in all my time on Smashboards ending two weeks ago. Neat.

 

[praline]

Alright then sign me up! It sounds fun so I might as well give it a try or two.

I'd be down! Sign me up.

Can I just say KMDP was supposed to put me in his district, like I have been doing? It was the least he could do, considering he did kill me last time.

Luckily the reason we actually say he's brave is because his class literally translate to Brave.

Thats what you guys want to "tranlate"

Hey @ShinyLegendary , are you doing alright?

 

[Roberk]

Even more than the character that was criticized for being a recolor?

Dark Pit has at least two new weapon models, Chrom is literally an upscaled Smash 4 Final Smash model.

Not to mention they still use her brawl voice, that nowadays sounds out of place for Lyn.

It’s just an easy topic/question to answer.

You know it.

The typical rules won't apply though since I can't use save editing at all. It doesn't seem like I'll need to worry too much though, other than making sure I keep level with the game.

I like the name "Swoosh".

I do too.

May I have the evidence for this, please?

I don't have the statements with me nor do I even remember them exactly so you'd need to do research to find them. I'm sure you could find the Master Chief Statement on the Banjo Thread though.

 

[Idon]

She has a pre-existing model like Chrom from her assist trophy form in 4 and Ultimate, which could be used in a possible port on the next Nintendo console to make a fully playable version of her on it.

Sakurai would only need to worry in that situation about the moveset, mostly if he wants to make her a non-echo fighter.

Yeah, it's not exactly... "good" looking.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Master Chief and Dante were deconfirmed by their respective developers on twitter, and the cuphead devs were campaigning for cuphead to be in smash, when they wouldn't need to campaign if they weren't already in. Travis I'm not sure about

>Respective developers

You mean a former community representative known for lying to keep surprise reveals surprising and a developer that may/may not have been in on talks for Dante?

I think Travis was disconfirmed by Suda himself though.

Also, just for further discussion, It's DISconfirmed, not deconfirmed. The former is grammatically correct, the latter is not.

ngl the codename is just the icing on the erdrick cake at this point

when nintendo themselves is doing a huge DQ11 push and basically every leaker is saying it's erdrick, tansut included, it's probably erdrick

 

[Deleted member]

Yuusha means other things as well. And you know it very well.

What? Just because it can translate as other things does not mean Yuusha can't be literally translated into Brave. Yes, it can be translated into hero or valor, which is why people don't just rely on the brave codename when it comes to speculating Erdrick.

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah, it's not exactly... "good" looking.

I already said that I didn’t notice the differences between assist trophy models so much at first and apologized.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Starting to think I'm one of the only people around here who's completely indifferent to whoever this "Brave" character is at this point.

Pro tip for insurgence, you pretty much have to grind. Game likes to pull out hard boss battles from jut of nowhere.
Also it is really, really try hard.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Erdrick is a great character.

But to say that Erdrick is more of a Brave character than other characters?

No he is not. Not even close.

You do know that the hero class in Dragon Quest, romanized as "yuusha," translates directly to the word "brave" in our language, right?

That's why people say Erdrick is "brave," since he is a hero in the Dragon Quest series.

Yo, wtf? I mean, sure it's a misspelling it, but there's no reason to increase the size to be super condescending over a mistake.

 

[TheBeastHimself]

Are there any Erdrick fans here? I'm worried for you guys because the leakers are really hyping him up at this point, making a lot of people believe he's a lock. Would you guys be okay if all of this Erdrick talk ended up being false?
