Some Kid Icarus: Uprising based ones
and hoo boy are these unpopular on these forums:
and hoo boy are these unpopular on these forums:
- I feel like I'm the only person in the world that doesn't find Kid Icarus' meta humour funny.
That whole schtick with "Super Bash Sisters" or Pit's comment about Nintendogs made me want to cripple the hands of whatever hack Youtube writer they hired to write the dialogue so they can't ever do this again.
As a result I am dreading when Kid Icarus codecs appear in Smash.
- Pit's voice acting is arguably one of the worst I've ever heard. He constantly sounds like his voice is breaking, or he's trying to both whisper and shout at the same time, like he's stubbed his toe hard on something whilst he's in a library.
- Kid Icarus: Uprising is the most overrated video game on these forums bar none. The gameplay is solid, but you'd think it was the single greatest masterpiece ever produced the amount people had raved on about it.
- Palutena's gimmick is "have loadsa moves". None of which really stand out as exciting looking. I was expecting something more unique from her due to Smashboards love of the character, but instead she just seems to make up for her lack of personal feeling abilities by being given everything vaguely Kid Icarus: Uprising related. Quantity over quality in that department.
- Not quite as unpopular but Palutena has had by far the weakest trailer of the newcomers thus far. The best bits were when she wasn't in them. That doesn't exactly fill me with hope.
- Lucas can get cut for all I care. He's a waste of character advertisement since the west is never getting Mother 3, nor is it likely to get remade, and Mother 3 isn't even that popular in Japan. At least Ness was released internationally.
- Takamaru is one of the least exciting potential newcomers I can imagine and I still cannot fathom his inexplicably large fanbase on these forums. The majority obviously don't have fond memories of his game growing up; most here didn't grow up either in the late 80s or the early 90s nor were they Japanese. So was it Nintendoland, Samurai Warriors 3 or watching clips of Captain Rainbow on YouTube that brought this generic looking samurai so much love?
- I care more about a character's fanbase mixed with importance to their series than how unique they are. This flies in the face of my fourth KI complaint, but all I read for a year on these boards was how damn unique she'd be.
- Marth still has the most boring moveset in the entire series. Practical, but boring.
- K. Rool, Mewtwo and Ridley are ridiculously overrated.
- That said, all three are far more deserving than any of the newcomers we currently have outside arguably the third parties.
- After seeing the Gematsu Leak's roster*, I want character DLC, and I don't care if it's paid. I hate having to wait 8+ years without potentially getting even one newcomer I vaguely like on the roster. I'd only spend that money on games I'll play less than Smash anyway.
May as well throw money at the thing I'll want to play for years to come and get new exciting toys than waste it on games I'm only half curious over. TF2 logic I guess.
