Majora’s mask was before my time and I never played the 3ds remake. Can someone please explain what exactly it is about skull kid that makes people want him in as a character? It seems so strange to me. I’ve never played a game with King K Rool in it either, but I recognize that he is the most recurring villain in the donkey kong series and I like his design. Why are you guys clamboring for this scarecrow looking kid that was the villain of a single game? I’m not knocking it, I just don’t get it.

Well, if they’re so cool that they’re still remembered all these years later, despite appearing in only one installment of a series with many great games, they must be something special. I should probably look into playing it then. I’ll certainly be glad to have played it if Skull Kid does make it into smash. Is the 3ds remake an improvement on the original, or at least not worse?

Skull Kid is in Ocarina of Time too but in an extremely minor part.

Really? I played OOT and I don’t remember him at all. It has been a while though. Maybe I should replay that one too.

Skull Kid was the first analogy for school shootings.

Skull Kid is an abused child, who abuses those he is supposed to take care of, emotionally manipulative, and he ends up killing himself, his school, his friends, and his family because he's lashing out through a malaise of pathetic, miserable, depression.

Some people just want to be represented in smash.

I was going to make a joke about how this would be great because this game doesn’t yet have enough vore in it, but then I realized that’s legit not true. This game already has vore by the score.

I like unlocking characters, but they should probably add a way to fast forward that process for people who just want to buy the game and smash with their friends. Hey, I have an idea. When was the last time you played a game with a cheat code in it? This game should have a cheat code to unlock all characters.

I went back to read the thread reactions to today’s direct. First of all: someone please explain what “Grinch Leak” and “Box Theory” are.

Second: holy poo poo you people are salty. You’d think every new character they added came with a certificate saying that {skull kid/isaac/etc.} was specifically cut from the roster to make room for them.

Trophies being removed is a bummer, but I get it. Now that seeing the characters in 3D is no longer a novelty, they aren’t really worth the effort.

The grinch leak was a fake leak that a lot of people hyped themselves up to insane heights about, going so far as creating communities sharing conspiracy theories and lies to convince themselves that it was real

it wasn't


flatluigi posted:

there was an extremely convincing leak over the last few weeks (like, 'either this is real or someone spent a ridiculous amount of time photoshopping this together covering tiny details nobody would notice' convincing) that also had as part of it a small background shot of a render for the grinch movie that people thought hadn't been released before (meaning that the leaker was someone who plausibly had access to a bunch of prerelease renders of things like the smash banner). grinch leak had a bunch of plausible characters including some people really wanted to the point where people thought it was a done deal (it wasn't)

box theory was based off of a prerelease box render only having room for two more characters, plus specifically some weirdness with character sorting that implied the characters would specifically be an echo fighter (ken) and a pokemon character (incineroar). people thought it was plausible but weren't very excited about it, given that neither character was very exciting and that the final smash direct 'must' need something even more exciting than the castlevania reveal (which, well, it didn't)

Just looked up the image in question. I guess I can see how someone would fall for that? I dunno if I would call it “very convincing.” I mean, why is the picture of the box so lovely? Within the fiction of the cover story, the person could easily have taken a close-up shot of the side of the box. But nope, instead it’s a super low-quality phone pic just like every other fake-rear end leak in history, go figure.

Aaaaaanyway, I’m fairly pumped about Spirits mode. I am excited to see what the came up with for the gimmick fights (the Lakitu and Hal Emmerich ones were genius) and if there’s even one more cutscene like the one we saw I’m all over it.

so who else wants to come up with ideas for spirit battles?

Here's mine:

Shadow - Sonic recolor with an infinite use super scope accompanied by a giant sized, red-alt colorscheme King K. Rool. Set on Lylat Cruise.

Dr. Wily - Ludwig von Koopa. I don’t know enough aboit Wily or Ludwig to say what gameplay changes there would be, but that’s a lock.

King Hippo - Pink (or as close as possible) King K Rool. Extreme preference for whichever attack uses the boxing gloves and grabs. Gets stronger with food. (Lots of tropical foods spawn during the fight. Bananas, coconuts, etc.)

Anybody who thinks Shadow is good but Incineroar is bad is not thinking straight. Either they’re both good or they’re both bad. Pick one!

I thought it was BS that the light beam was able to catch up with Sonic, but then I saw that he was going slow to let Pikachu catch up with him, presumably so he could then grab it and run. Good old Sonic.

Why do people want Shadow in the game anyway? I asked this question about Skull Kid a while ago and the consensus was that his game was really good and a classic. I was under the inpression that shadow’s game was dogshit. Am I wrong?

Can someone explain to me, or link me a video or article that explains, the difference between tilt attacks and smash attacks? I don’t understand what makes them different or how to pull either of them off reliably. Like, how do you tell by looking at an attack whether it is a tilt or smash attack.

EDIT: In fact, something that gives a rundown of ALL the different moves you have wpuld be extremely helpful. Also, what do you call the moves that you do with the right stick?

Holy poo poo!

Anyway as someone who hasn’t really played any smash in the decade since brawl was released, I have to agree with Succinct and Punchy. There’s WAY too many characters to trial-and-error playtest to figure out which ones can do which things. For example, for any given character, which one of their moves can meteor smash, if any? That question alone has over 70 answers.
