Support NeoGAF

[The Great Gonzales]

Gave him to Severa, because they're both jerks and deserve each other.

Didn't use him at all, because man is he useless. He can barely survive his own mission.

Gonzo -- get Kirby Triple Deluxe. I own Epic Yarn and Return to Dreamland, and neither kept my attention for long, but KTD is truly GREAT. Very snappy pacing, endlessly varied level design, consistently surprising and smile-inducing, a parade of wonderful moments. And such tight combat! The foreground-to-background interaction elements are constant and hardly ever repeat, introduced from screen to screen, level to level. It makes the levels feel deep and intricate. The graphics also look lovingly crafted, with buoyant animations and crisp colors and lovely textures here and there. In 3D, it really POPS! Everything is so solid and silky smooth. Get it! :-D

Thanks! That's good to hear. I never played Return to Dreamland, but I did play Epic Yarn, and I had a similar experience as you: it was fun while it lasted, but the only thing about it that really stuck with me is its arrangement of the Green Greens theme. It really made me miss Copy Abilities.

But I already own Triple Deluxe.

The Great Gonzales and Gonzo The Great are two different people.

 

[Dimitri LH]

On the Kirby Topic. I found Epic Yarn to simplistic....and Return to Dreamland tried to go back to its Super Star roots (Best kirby ever) but the difficulty was lacking (Only challenge was the challenge rooms). Glad im not the only one having had the same experience with those two.

On Topic: Prediction for tonight: Were getting a few trophies all shown at once...maybe the trophy diorama mode that brawl had?

 

[Freezie KO]

Triple Deluxe is a fucking sadistic game. I love it.

lol you're the first person I thought of when I read that. I almost said something, but I though, "nah, I'm sure he knows the difference, he's just using a little nickname."

Oh man, if you like copy abilities, Triple Deluxe has your number.

But I already own Triple Deluxe.

My bad! If it's any consolation, I have the most misspelled username on GAF, so I know the feeling!

 

[-Horizon-]

I say for tonight we're getting a new Wii U stage reveal.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Spoiler

He made Lucina's mask, & had a crush on her since they were little kids.

See, his past even has hints that he can give Wonderful masks to everyone!

You sure that isn't Nightwing?

That's Nightwing.

Nightwing is a Wonderful One. He is Wonderful Bird.

 

[random25]

Prediction time: Veteran tonight.

I linked Blue Resort in the post before the post with Green Garden!



I can't believe you actually honored my request.

Marry me.

I thought I knew you

Hmmn, will have to get it very soon if better than Return to Dreamland, that game is 2nd only to Super Star Ultra for me

 

[Dimitri LH]

Prediction time: Veteran tonight.

Normally I would go with this....but Sakurai has taught me to lower my expectations.

 

[IntelliHeath]

My bad! If it's any consolation, I have the most misspelled username on GAF, so I know the feeling!

What made you so sure about that? People still called me IntelliHealth.

 

[Benzychenz]

PAL copies of Adventure Wii (aka Return to Dreamland) are stupidly expensive for some reason.

Because of that I bought Triple Deluxe early even if I haven't got around to playing it yet.

 

[kirby_fox]

You get to keep them for years and most people are not going ot get the full Amiibo set. Most people only spend a few hundred per year on average (including initial purchase of console). That's pretty cheap compared to most hobbies.

What hobbies do you know that spend more than $300 a year? Yacht clubs? I...I don't think those count.

I hope Amiibos are only $9.99
Would make me less reluctant to buy more than my favorites.

9.99 X 50 Amiibos = 499.50 plus tax.

My wallet still cries.

Updated for myself.

Spoiler

Ah, who am I kidding, I'll probably get one of those controllers, although no way I'm buying 50 Amiibos

Spoiler

We'll all say we aren't going to buy 50 of them, then wind up slowly buying them because that nagging voice in your head says you have to complete the set.

 

[Freezie KO]

As in "Healthcliff"

Pic's up early

Pic of the Day: Like every young man growing up in Japan, I had aspirations of one day becoming a man of power... with really cool hair, riding a mystical stag, with some boot-clad beauty at my side. Since I age in reverse, however, I cannot grow up to achieve this dream. But through videogames, anything is possible!

We should form a support group, lol

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Wow, even the Japanese box art for Triple Deluxe has Angry Kirby. This game must be hardcore.

Palutena's moveset has been fully revealed in Famitsu.

[Hyperactivity]

Spoiler

Gave Lucina to Robin, was disappointed by the lack of Grandpa Chrom-Morgan support scenes.

Did the same thing, but more because both were among my best units at the time

That also disappointed me

Although I later learned that for female Morgan, Lucina+Robin is the best stat combo

Although best Lucina iirc is Olivia + Chrom, only 2nd best is Sumia + Chrom

 

[MrSaturn99]

Quick off-topic question: what's SmashGAF's opinion of Kirby Triple Deluxe?

Adored it. Super Star and Adventure are still the best, of course, but boy did I love it.

 

[Ozium]

trophy picture tonight... I can taste it.

sorry shulk fans

Weiner Whistle, you can't come in here whistling your weinie like that without sharing the DEETS

 

[Professor Beef]

Shame there's not much replay factor in Triple Deluxe.

 

[Spinosaurus]

I just learned to lower my expectations for POTDs. Reveals never happen when I expect them lol. (Except on my birthday :^) )

What made you so sure about that? People still called me IntelliHealth.

In another forum years ago I decided to go with the username "Carcharodontosaurus" just to freshen things up.

It was funny.

 

[Benzychenz]

I don't want to buy Amiibo's but it's going to be hard to resist buying all the Zelda, Pokemon, Metroid, Kid Icarus and Fire Emblem ones, plus other random characters like Shulk.

 

[Weiner Whistle]

Link/pics/description etc.

Not sure if I can link to it here, but you can check out the scans on Smashboards. Here's her moveset:

B: Autoreticle
B(2): Explosive Flame
B(3): Divine Light

UpB: Teleport
UpB(2): Jump Glide
UpB(3): Rocket Jump

DownB: Counter
DownB(2): Lighten
DownB(3): Fireworks

SideB: Reflect Barrier
SideB(2): Super Dash
SideB(3): Angelic Missile

Final Smash: Black Hole + Mega Laser

 

[Kriken]

Eh, disappointing PoTD, seems like the graphics took a major hit in order to add Ganondorf to the roster. Eh I guess sacrifices had to be made in order to add large playable characters

 

[IntelliHeath]

Why not?

I would call you Carchy since it might be easier for all of us ;P

 

[Freezie KO]

It actually is. I don't want to spoil anything, but HAL cranks up the comic sadism in this game. It's frequently funny, but Kirby is a bit of a heel in the game.

There's no watermark! FAKE!

 

[Neiteio]

Why not?

"Hi, I'm Neiteio"

"Hi, Neiteio!"

"That's Neiteio, spelled N - e - i - t - e - i - o..."

What what?!

You calling Kirby a heel just a few hours after Anth0ny called his loss at SDCC the San Diego Screwjob really made me laugh. There's an actual joke in there somewhere, I just can't find it.

Yeah, holy shit. The poor Waddle Dees, lol.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Full disclosure here:

Palutena's moveset has been fully revealed in Famitsu.

I would assume that number 1 is default moves, right?

Netural - Auto Aim
Side - Reflect
Up - Warp
Down - Counter

I might be wrong about it but *shrugs*

 

[Neiteio]

Not sure if I can link to it here, but you can check out the scans on Smashboards. Here's her moveset:

DownB(2): Lighten
DownB(3): Fireworks

SideB: Reflect Barrier
SideB(2): Super Dash
SideB(3): Angelic Missile

Final Smash: Black Hole + Mega Laser

Interesting. So Palutena's defaults are:

- Neutral special: Auto-Reticule
- Up Special: Teleport
- Down Special: Counter
- Side Special: Reflect Barrier

Palutena's moveset has been fully revealed in Famitsu.

[justchris]

I predict another new stage tonight, cause why not?

As far as Amiibo's go, I'm kinda really interested in a Game & Watch Amiibo. It just seems like a thing I should own.

 

[emb]

Not sure if I can link to it here, but you can check out the scans on Smashboards. Here's her moveset:

DownB(2): Lighten
DownB(3): Fireworks

SideB: Reflect Barrier
SideB(2): Super Dash
SideB(3): Angelic Missile

Final Smash: Black Hole + Mega Laser

I was really hoping counter wouldn't be a default move... those seem so common at this point. I want to go watch the trailer and see what's what now though.

"Hi, I'm Neiteio"

"Hi, Neiteio!"

"That's Neiteio, spelled N - e - i - t - e - i - o..."

How do you pronounce your name, anyway?

 

[Dimitri LH]

"Hi, I'm Neiteio"

"Hi, Neiteio!"

"That's Neiteio, spelled N - e - i - t - e - i - o..."

Which is why you will forever be Neit to me.

SideB: Reflect Barrier
SideB(2): Super Dash
SideB(3): Angelic Missile

Final Smash: Black Hole + Mega Laser

Most of those sound pretty self-explanatory, but I don't suppose there's any description of them, is there? I'm curious about Lighten and Fireworks.

 

[Neiteio]

It's_Happening_isn't_it.gif

Perhaps there's a higher chance we'll see Palutena-related PotDs regurgitating the Famitsu information

 

[Freezie KO]

Yeah, holy shit. The poor Waddle Dees, lol.

The scene that

Spoiler

repositions Kirby as the wolf in the Three Little Pigs story literally puts Kirby in the villain role. Not only do you destroy the Waddle Dees' homes, but they run away in complete terror. I felt guilty.

 

[Neiteio]

How do you pronounce your name, anyway?

It's the Japanese name for Xatu, a Gen 2 Pokémon.

I pronounce it, "Nay - tay - Oh"

DownB(3): Fireworks

SideB: Reflect Barrier
SideB(2): Super Dash
SideB(3): Angelic Missile

Final Smash: Black Hole + Mega Laser

Woah. Nothing like what we thought. Super disappointed that Counter is a default. Wild that she has reflect and counter as defaults.

 

[Dimitri LH]

I honestly would like a PotD explaining more details about the amiibos.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Oh man, Palutena's full moveset revealed... finally! I've been waiting for this. I hope we can get full translated details soon. <lights the Masked Man signal>

Although it sounds like her base moveset is a little... dull. I'm a lot more interested in her custom/second and third sets of specials based on their names and what we saw in her reveal trailer.

DownB(3): Fireworks

SideB: Reflect Barrier
SideB(2): Super Dash
SideB(3): Angelic Missile

Final Smash: Black Hole + Mega Laser

So characters with a default counter: Marth, Ike, Palutena, Lucina, Lucario, and Little Mac. Did I miss anyone?

Spoiler

Guess they're trying to prevent Bowser from being top tier after all

Nuh uh, he had a crush on
