Out of boredom, I went through my post history and found my very first post on this site from 2013. My face while reading it:



It was mega cringe.
You think that's bad?

I've only been here since September of last year, and any of my posts before late October to early November were absolutely terrible. Like, I'd never post stuff like that, today. Do any of y'all remember my mega rant on character speculation bias?

Why do y'all like me today, after I posted garbage like that?

Someone look up what I said in 2008.

Seriously I want to know what I said.

On it chief. Your first post, or?
Sure. Or if it isn't funny the first funniest one.

There shouldn't be many. I jumped ship for AiB not long after I joined.

I agree with your intentions on writing this, as I'm sick of seeing all over the internet things like "RAWR!! THIS ROSTER SUCKZ IM NOT GONNA BUY IT!!!!" But, everyone has his or her own opinions and expectations regarding this game, just like any other game out there. This had to have been one of the- if not THE- most hyped up games to date, and as such, there will be let-downs. But, for all those let-downs, we'll all be playing and loving the game anyway, because of the ENORMOUS amount of positives that people seem to forget (remember when Snake was first announced? and Sonic? imagine if that had just been figured out NOW).

The only let downs for me- that are realistic anyway- are the Starfox characters. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Starfox and always have, but Fox, Falco, and Wolf all seem too similar by the videos I've seen (Landmasters?). I have yet to play with them, however. But it just seems more logical to me- assuming the developers can even do this, because I'm sure all of those minds took this into account and decided not to- to put Fox, Falco, Wolf, and even a suited up Krystal all under the same character, same moveset, abilities and all, but as alternate costumes. That would leave room for a Dinosaur Planet-ized Krystal, creative staff, female character and all, and one more slot for a different character. I obviously don't know a thing about programming a game, so I can't say too much, but in that one regard, yes, I'm disappointed. Oh, and King K. Rool should have gotten a nod over Dedede, but only by a slim margin.
Behold. Your very first post, ever.

...Not much has changed, mate.

Here's my first post ever...

*sigh* Finally got an account, and boy what a topic to put my debut post!! This'll be fun...

> Before Cloud came onto the scene, :4sheik: was my least favorite character in all of Smash. Despite being only an ancillary presence in the Zelda series, she hogs up all the tournament attention in the Smash games while the other Zelda characters get left in the dust and/or stuck in mid-tier limbo. The only reason she was even considered for inclusion in Melee is because Sakurai wanted to be cute with :4zelda:'s moveset, which ultimately ****ed Zelda up bigtime. Seriously, if it wasn't for Smash, Shiek would've been a mere footnote in Zelda history. She wouldn't even be featured in Hyrule Warriors (although considering Marin is in the game...)

>If 3rd party support is gonna continue, I have a very strict ground rule for who I want in: if a random schlub from the street who doesn't know much about video games can recognize the character, they can get in. If not, no. That ultimately means that :4bayonetta: would get cut under this standard, even though I like her and don't really want to see her go.

>Footstooling should be heavily nerfed if it comes back at all

>I kinda feel like we're not gonna get the next gen Pokemon rep or the new Fire Emblem Lord this time around. Too soon I guess

>Subspace Emissary was great

>:4kirby: should always and forever more be the "beginner" character, even if that means he'll never go far in tournaments again (Smash 64 was weird tho...)

>Every "retro" inclusion (:popo: :4pit: :4duckhunt:) and every "wtf" inclusion (:4gaw: :4rob: :4wiifit:) has been great so far and can't wait to see who they go for now (I don't count :4littlemac: as retro, at least not at the time)

>:4luigi:'s Final Smash in Brawl fits his character more than people will give it credit for, even if the Poltergust 5000 is objectively better in every degree

Now here's the section where I talk about :4yoshi:. Get used to it with me...

>Yoshi should be top tier this time around. Yeah I know, standard wish fulfillment stuff, but for some reason when it comes to Yoshi, people are bizarrely resistant to the idea. All the support would go to characters like :4jigglypuff: :4charizard: :4wario: :4zelda: and :4ganondorf: (even though I agree with the latter two needing to be top tier) but with Yoshi it's like "Oh, he's fine where he's at." No it's not fine where he's at. Yes, he got an absurd rework in between games, but it wasn't enough. I want that to change next Smash game, but I feel like nobody's on my side here...

>Everyone praises Brawl's character selection for it's organization, but what really grinds my gears is that Yoshi is the only one of the Original 8 NOT ON THE TOP ROW!!! I call bull****!!! Yes that actually, unironically irritates me. It makes it seem like of the original vets, the developers care about him the least. "But Zinith you scrub, it makes sense because Yoshi is meant to be represented by the Mario fra--" STOP RIGHT THERE!!! No he doesn't!!! He represents the Yoshi franchise, and since he's one of the 8, he should've been on the top row. Period.

>Implementing Poochy in any way shape or form to Yoshi's moveset is stupid, nor do I see him becoming a playable character.

>I don't know if people unironically said that Yoshi should be cut during Brawl and Smash 4's development and instead should become an item (and yes, I'm aware of the "Yoshi was cut" meme/joke. Not the same thing), but if that were the case, there's a special place in hell for them...

>I might be the only living creature in the entire multiverse who wishes for Boshi to get in, if only to see the salt and rage volcano erupt. It would be glorious. Boshi checks every box for a character no Smash player likes: obvious clone, zero relevancy, the textbook definition of underdeveloped, unoriginal moveset (although I might have some ideas hehehe), and most of all, a GENO FAN SALT MINE!!! Sakurai might actually care about that last point. No one would expect him, not even me. If I saw his reveal trailer, I would have a ****ing heart attack and die. I like Boshi for his potential to be the character he was always meant to be: the Wario equivalent to Yoshi (that's not me spitballing either. Boshi's Japanese name is Washi). Like I said earlier, he was CRIMINALLY underdeveloped in SMRPG, basically being a run-of-the-mill Yoshi but with a superiority complex. Yawn. But when you consider that :4wario2: is basically the opposite of :4mario: in most ways, can you imagine what the same would be to Yoshi? The prospect is frightening to be honest. Boshi would be the most unpleasant, uncute, perverse and nastiest creature in existence if I were to see things that way. And I would love it!!!

Anyways, that's it. I don't know if those were actually unpopular opinions or not or if I'm just a long-winded autist. I'll just have to see
Yeah, some things have changed...

I wonder how many people have gotten banned over the course of the speculation era.
I’ve gotten a handful of infractions, all spam related, and a slap or two on a wrist from Ismar

I feel like it’d be pretty hard to justify banning me though

You fool. You think this is the worst it can get?

Show of hands. Who remembers that one time where a user just posted HARDCORE Isabelle porn for like 2 whole pages before a mod stopped them?
That sounds hilarious! Wish I was there only so I could wish I wasn't there LOL.

I support Greninja 100%, whether it be as a separate character entirely, or a Pokemon Trainer-type deal.
Just by looking at my avatar and signature, you can tell I'm a supporter of Palutena. I'd honestly be pretty sad if she wasn't a playable character. I would consider it so much wasted potential.
These are my first two posts.
