Like huntsmen?

[not pictured due to "yikes": hunstman]

Huntsmen spiders are harmless. We normally have one living in our place. They just sit there, doing nothing for 5 hours.

Anyways that brings up a thing I've always wanted to do and that was archive the entire Smash Speculation Cycle and everything in it from Brawl to Ultimate.

It may sound weird but I would like to look back at it one day and look down upon my experience and the entire experience of Smash as a fanbase.

All the ups and all the downs I want to know what this place has been through and document it.

 

[Idon]

Well, I'm gonna be in a car for 30 combined hours this weekend. Anyone got any switch/3ds games they think could help pass the time?

Celeste will burn your time away as well as your thumbs.

I also highly recommend Shin Megami Tensei 4 if you're into JRPGs.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

We were younger then. That was almost six years ago, most of us were fresh out of high school by only a handful of years.

I was mean back then.

Big oof on my part.

 

[Wunderwaft]

All this talk about the past makes me think about the future and how we would tell stories about the grinch leak to the next generation. I don't believe there has been any leak that was as polarizing and as divisive as the grinch leak.

Celeste is wonderful

I was also considering SMTIV, i just played through P5 and was curious about SMT.

Hey Shroob , what inspired your username?

 

[Deleted member]

So is there anything like a Brawl Social thread? I can't seem to find it.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Hey Shroob , what inspired your username?

Well...

His avatar is a Shroob from Mario and Luigi.

Probably that.

I will remember the joy of my Pokémon friend when he found that Incineroar got in Smash.

 

[Opossum]

So I couldn't sleep, but I also couldn't load the previous page. Can whoever embedded a million things edit their post (read: NOT just put them in spoiler tags)?

 

[Shroob]

Hey Shroob , what inspired your username?

I've had it since I was a member of Nsider(1), the OG Nintendo Power forums.

The name's just kinda stuck for like, what, 15 years of being online now? All my friends call me it online and you'll usually find me under Shroob,or Dr.Shroob on other sites.


Yeah, I liked Partners in Time.

 

[mbvswb]

Edit: Nevermind found something

I've read through some brawl speculation. This place was pure anarchy when the roster leaked.

Partners in Time was my first Mario & Luigi game.

I think that the last time I played the game I got stuck at the part where you fight as Baby Mario and Baby Luigi two mind-controlled Hammer Brothers, after seeing Mario and Luigi getting taken by some tubes.

I could never do damage to the Hammer Brothers for some reason.

So I got a little dramatic retelling Swamp vs DivineDiety...

I'll edit them out...

 

[osby]

Big oof on my part.

Let's be honest, who wasn't?

*self projecting intensifies*

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Opossum

Edited them out.

Go check it out.

 

[KneeOfJustice99]

So is there anything like a Brawl Social thread? I can't seem to find it.

BTW, are you going to document how everyone thought Sonic and Tails were in Melee? That was in 2002, and it was an April Fools prank by Electronic Gaming Monthly, claiming Sonic was unlocked by defeating over 20 enemies in Cruel Melee.

 

[KMDP]

I was mean back then.

Big oof on my part.

The past is in the past.

What's more important is how you conduct yourself in the here and now.

You seem to be a big Ace Attorney fan.

Go check it out.

Would if I could. :/ It's still crashing immediately. That usually means a lot of people quoted it, basically duplicating the post in the process. osby Any chance you can edit out the quotes?

I think you would know my answer

I'm gonna start with everything on Smashboards first then move onto past titles and stuff outside of Smashboards.

I'm just going about it in a very weird way so to answer your question Yes I will get around to it eventually, I'm not sure what order I'm gonna go at but I'll try to document the highlights for every game at the least.

 

[Gyrom8]

All the ups and all the downs I want to know what this place has been through and document it.

I've wanted to do something similar with the Ultimate speculation cycle (which would presumably be easier to document than previous speculation cycles due to happening in a shorter period). Like tracking all the major fake leaks, the few real ones, and the impact that had on what characters people thought were getting in (e.g. the rise and fall of certain characters like Spring Man, Decidueye and Captain Toad).

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

The worst part is...

My debating skills sucked back then.

I cringe when I see my arguments from back then.

And people were poking fun at that the whole time.

RIP me.

Your argument still ranks on the top half of arguments I've seen on this website though. Don't knock yourself too hard for it.

But I didn't like Nayuta much.

I think it was less that you posted the videos and more that everyone quoting you (except a couple like myself) neglected to edit them out.

Case in point.

Cool! Need a hand with any of the research? I was doing something similar at school a while back, along with a friend. I can try to find some highlights if you like

Oh definitely Ultimate will be a whole lot easier that said I'm thinking that since I'm at it why not document and highlight most of the important and overlooked thoughts from past Smash Cycles.

If you don't learn from the past you're doomed to repeat it and all of that.

 

[Idon]

Yeah, he was a ****,

Buuuut, he did have cool sprites:

Boi

 

[Shroob]

Ahhhhh, speaking of...


Googling my oldest online handle brought up one of the best(most heartbreaking) moments of Smash Ultimate speculation...

I'M SORRY PREZ I STILL LUV U GURL

If you'd like you can, I assume it's going to be a big project so I'll need all the help I can get.

 

[Gentlepanda]

I don't believe there has been any leak that was as polarizing and as divisive as the grinch leak.

certainly i doubt we'll ever have a leak again that results in actual death threats like the grinch leak did

hoo boy some of the stuff i got on reddit for suggesting it might not have been real

 

[mbvswb]

If theres gonna be a history of smash speculation, im very interested to see where the origins of obscure (Geno) and ridiculous (Goku) character fan bases come from.

That's a large task my friend.

Go for it.
Mind if I cover all of the notable leaks from Melee to Ultimate though? It's something I've wanted to write about for a while anyways. If you want to cover those instead be my guest.
