Well it's a good thing the stricter gun laws prevent you from owning said gun. Now take care of this ROB while you wait for Neiteio to show up

*Neiteio bursts onto the scene*

Everyone stand back! I'm a doctor!

*Neiteio kneels next to ROB's broken body*

He needs mouth-to-mouth!

*Neiteio leans in, and pauses, not sure where ROB's mouth is*

Um... Well...

*Neiteio licks ROB instead*

*Neiteio starts convulsing from cheap Chinese paint*

Send... help...
 
I could be doing important things right now, like sleeping or something, but here I am, constantly refreshing to see some sort of filler pic
like Lucina's boots. :P

You have a Skullomania avatar, yet you say such horrible, muscle-shaming things.

Bara Ike will be there for you when you come to terms with your true feelings.

I ain't got nothing against muscles. You give me a buff ass Ganondorf? You give me an even more buff Falcon? You give me a Snake with even higher ass definition? We will be in fucking business my friend, but everything I loved about Ike's design was how he was strong and carried a big ass sword despite his fairly slender figure. That juxtaposition is gone now and I find this version way more boring than that one.

I can see where you're coming from, but for me, it's a net gain since, like I said, he now looks like a truly unique character among his FE brethren, which is fitting, since he always played unique :-)

Oh... Ew.

Scrawny RPG heroes carrying gigantic weapons is a big N O in my book. RD Ike looks like what the leader of a mercenary group that just won a war should look like, a MAN.

Better yet - Mewtwo's shadow shown on a Cerulean Cave stage with no further context given. The Mewtwo fandom must learn what true suffering feels like!

It'll have the comment "Boss characters will appear on many stages" and Mewtwo fans will go into denial and act like he still has a chance at being playable.

Actually, most of Fox's alt colors in Brawl are references to other games (the red, green and blue alts all are also in Assault's multiplayer, though I'm sure THAT is actually taking the colors from Smash in the first place lol). The only one that was unique there was the black alt, and possibly the white alt (tho it seems it could be a reference to Adventures).

All of Ike's costumes reference Fire Emblem stuff (yellow costume = Greil, red costume = enemy units, green costume = allied units, cyan costume = his vanguard class, and the gold/beige one is based on mages). Same goes for Marth (red and green again are enemy/allied units, white = Leif, bright blue = artwork from Monsho no Nazo) - only one that was unique to Smash was the black alt.

All of Sheik's colors were corresponding to Zelda's. There wasn't much they could do without fucking that up (which is also the case for Zero Suit Samus).

And for Rosalina, well, we got fire Rosalina as an alt. There's not much else they can do with her dress, either.

I'll give you Ganondorf, though I couldn't think of something that'd work except for colors based on his appearances in other games, which mostly are brown too.

The Ike references are fairly tenuous - Greil's outfit, for example, bears no chromatic similarity to yellow Ike bar the cape, and the enemy / allied unit colours are so generic as to count as new. Sheik's colours were excusable for Brawl, but I was hoping for some more interesting choices now that she's seperate.

Ganondorf exemplifies my problem - he doesn't have many sources for references save maybe Nabooru, Demise, Aganhim or Phantom Ganon palettes, so the opportunity should have been taken to give us some memorable new palettes. Instead we got a sea of brown; though Old Manondorf was fairly good. Though even with characters like Rosalina where they have free reign to implement interesting colour choices, skintone and hair and eye colour barely changes between alts, if at all.

No wonder, friends don't post such horribly slanderous pictures of each other.

I'm warning y'all, anymore words against beefy Ike, and I'll steer this thread down Bara Avenue so fast you'll all be gay agenda'd before the next PotD.

Then, what would you say those twigs with 12 foot swords are taking? It's certainly not friendship holding those blades up.

Haha, in all seriousness, I love the new Ike. One of my favorite redesigns.
 
Ike looked like that because he was barely older than a teenager, if that, and he was the leader of a band of mercenaries because his father was murdered.

Him looking like a kid with the weight of the world on his shoulders then was sort of the point of his design.
 
I wonder if they could still include PoR Ike as an alt, complete with his slender physique. Or would that be too difficult with hit-boxes, etc.

What makes you so sure? Ike wields a fucking broadsword with one hand and all he does is talk about fighting for his friends. Didn't need to look like a neanderthal to do it either.

It's so fucking bad. It's just a hideous design.
