So. Serious note piggybacking off the joke:

Every RE game has allowed players to use invincibility frames while doing monotonous things like picking up an item to avoid getting hit. It's how people do knife-only runs or no-heals runs, and it's such a staple of the series that The Mercenaries 3D, a game that had to cut the animations for such mundane acts, incorporated an "old school" perk that gave you i-frames anyway when you did certain actions.

What if this goofy way of turning had i-frames to time and exploit? Oh my God it could actually work.

Geez, wonder why they don't put i frames on RE3 evading. You sometimes could still get hit by Nemi during dodges.

My favorite is the unintentional comedy of "Forrest".

"Take a look at this!" Takes Jill over to the balcony overlooking the forest, with his body hiding the person named Forrest from the player's view. "OH MY COD. IT'S FORREST." As he gestures with both hands toward the forest. Jill: "It's awful!"

What if they had Iframes when actually picking up items?

Because they didn't want dodge to be broken, I'm guessing. It was a new mechanic introduced in that game. You still got iframes when entering into an action like picking up an item.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

So, I am making a new series for my channel where I talk about series representation in Smash. i.e., When Simon came, he brought a boss, assist trophy, etc. with him. Now, if *insert character here* came in, what would they bring?


Is that something you all would watch?

"It's a weapon. It's really powerful. Especially against living things."

That always cracks me up

Some call it the Magic Punch.
It is really powerful.

sorry, but that line made me remember Ape Escape.

 

[KMDP]

That would be so infuriating. But at the same time it’s the exact kind of thing Sakurai would do.

Smash Dev Team: "This sounds like a terrible idea."
Sakurai: "But it's accurate!" *slams fist on desk*

I mean, Snake, Ryu, Ken, Simon and Richter have jumps where you pretty much have to commit to their arcs, that's the same thing, right? (It's not)

It would be so hilarious if the best way to avoid powerful attacks (e.g. from bosses or Final Smashes) while playing as Chris/Jill is to simply start turning around on the spot.

This might not be the best way to do it, but if their moveset has a lot of weapon switching they could have i-frames while switching? Sounds unbalanced but Shulk has the same thing when he switches arts

And yet so fitting. That's honestly how I handle bosses in Mercenaries Reunion.

The mode for some reason revamped its scoring system so you got WAY more points if you avoided the boss rather than killed him. So you intentionally leave ammo pickups on the field so when he's lunging at you, you just find a piece of candy on the ground, kneel down and watch his attack fly through you and you're fine.

...God I wanna play Mercs now.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Honestly, Resident Evil really should have a character by now, never even ****ing played a single game but it even fits all the obligatory fan rules, after Resi and DQ, I think we'd have basically all the pioneers of gaming

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Anybody got a link to the prank thread? Not sure how to get to it.

 

[Zinith]

I shouldn't link to it due to it being locked to Premium users only, so I'll just say that it's a "sub-forum" to the Disco Room...

I would love to see a new Ape Escape game, tbh.

Sounds like a pretty cool idea, instead of focusing on the character itself, you would focus around the world of said character.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I don’t know what to talk about....



...Leffen should win G6 and kill Ike

Honestly, Resident Evil really should have a character by now, never even ****ing played a single game but it even fits all the obligatory fan rules, after Resi and DQ, I think we'd have basically all the pioneers of gaming

ah something to talk about...Lara Croft and Scorpion/Sub ZeRo would still need to get in the game to have all pioneers...and a Goomba/Koopa combo duo

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Still need Lara Croft. Tomb Raider is enough of a gaming icon that she deserves a slot.

Maybe DoomSlayer sense he invented the FPS

Crash would also be a dope addition.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Crash would also be a dope addition.

I mean yeah. But we don’t need to talk about it sense he’s basically confirmed. Joking, but still. Crash for Smash.

The only pillar left would be first-person shooters, I think. But it's hard to say if those will be represented since the icons you could attribute to them-- Master Chief and Doom Guy-- have never been nearly as popular in the East as the West.

Dracula: "Why can't I hurt them!? She's doing pirouettes and he keeps putting away his gun!"
Jill: "Get on our level, scrub!"
Chris: "We've had years of practice avoiding way worse!"

Simon: "What in the world am I watching?"
Snake: "Basic military operations." *said while polishing the Patriot gun*

Inb4 they revealed RE3 remake followed up by a reveal of Nemesis as a new Smash fighter for the RE rep and villain roles.

 

[TheMightyP]

I think horror and puzzle are the last two genres not repped by a character. RE would be the best for horror, but IDK about puzzle. Shooter was also one of those, but we got the Inklings with Ultimate.

 

[Masked Marshmallow]

Tomorrow I go back to school. I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK!

Mood.

At least School is not Carrousel. But yeah, going back is gonna be horrible.

All this RE talk and nobody brings up Birkin. I guess a pipe dream will always be a pipe dream.

Shmups also aren't repped yet. That's why some people want Reimu in Smash. I'd be OK with that :D

We still need:
Horror Rep - Silent Hill, Resident Evil
Shmup Rep - Touhou, Gradius, Galaga
Puzzle Rep - Puyo Puyo, Panel de Pon
Rhythm Rep - Rhythm Heaven
Shooter Rep (if you don't count Splatoon as one) - Halo, Doom
Indie Rep - Shantae, Shovel Knight, Cave Story, Undertale

Put Travis Touchdown under the indie reps.

We also need.... a just freakin awesome rep!: Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Lara Croft, Sub-Zero, Dante..... Kratos

Splatoon is most definitely a shooter

Also, does Indie count as a genre? Yeah, it has it's own category in awards, but I don't think independent game is a genre.

Now, if we're talking FPS, then yeah.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Everyone needs to see this right now.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Smh, everyone seems to forget that we already have our puzzle rep:

 

[Deleted member]

Three things:
>I finally got tickets to see the Dragon Ball movie today.
>Crash would work as a sweet racing game rep alongside Mario, Sonic and Diddy Kong. The four can easily represent the most famous racing games in the industry.
>The “You’ve been Gnomed” meme deserves to evolve into “You’ve been hooked on the brothers”.

Classic RE is all about puzzles, but I would call it a puzzle game as much as I would call a plate with steak, mashed potatoes and green beans a "green bean dinner". It's a side dish, not the main course.

You have Fire Emblem Fates.

Close enough.
