Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 12: Gwah, hah. Welcome to the Bowser's game.

Hey, how'd you know Mother 3 was secretly installed on every Smash 3DS XL?
 
I majored in journalism with a minor in English and a concentration in advertising. I nearly started PR for a law firm but instead went for news reporting. I've been reporting five years now. Pay is nothing special, but it's enough to be comfortable and enough to invest in the future. The real satisfaction comes from helping all kinds of people and getting reader feedback. You pick your own assignments, and set your own schedule. You accumulate a vast body of work to remember what you did each day. You win awards from your peers. And it never gets old seeing your stories laid out in the paper and your byline on each one. My motto is "engage, empower, educate and inspire." I feel like each story, even a by-the-numbers crime story, has the potential for some greater takeaway that'll hopefully help someone, somewhere.

So, for all you English majors out there, maybe you'd find journalism fulfilling. Teaching might be another good application of your skills. As others have said, there are also many careers in government where good communication skills are a valued asset. Convey that in an application and you may find yourself with a new career. I've interviewed many people running businesses, charities, etc., who are English majors or something similar. Communication, organizational and leadership skills are needed in every field.

As for life in general, I think it's best to avoid thinking of life "in phases," I.E. , college, work, retirement, etc. That's way too limiting. Instead, think of life in moments. Live in the moment, find joy in each moment, and draw strength from the blessings of past moments. This is easier said than done, sometimes, but it's good to remember. Don't shadow-box with yourself, and don't beat yourself up. Everyone's different emotionally, with different emotional makeups, so there's no right or wrong way to go about things. Just strive to see the good in yourself, because there is so much good in you. And try to help others see the good in themselves. The strong should stand up for the weak, and together become stronger. Love yourself, and show love unto others. :-)

EDIT: Aaaaaaaaand I see this particular line of conversation has ended in the time since I started replying, got sidetracked, and finished my post, lol
 
I've kind of given up hope after 2 games of me blindly asking for it, but I still think Klonoa would make an awesome Smash character, and I feel like Namco wasted a huge opportunity this time of bringing him back by "suggesting" his inclusion in the roster to Sakurai. I was playing Klonoa 2 earlier on my GBA, and man, he's a great character, his games are a great underrated mix between puzzle and platforming, his design is pretty decent and he has great moveset potential.

Just look at this motherfucker:

And here are some more pros:
- Fits right in looks-wise with the Kirby characters and the Pokemon
- Appeals to the furry crowd (ok this could be a con)
- No sword or blue hair that I can see.
- His inclusion would pretty much debunk all leaks.

What say you, GAF? A new Klonoa game is up there with a new Kirby Tilt 'n Tumble in my list of dream games that will probably never be.
I'm bored
 
Sounds good to me! Maybe that'll get Ahzen to play. :P

The more, the merrier, right? Join us, Ahzen! :D

Then hit me up with that friend code via PM and I'll remember to do the same once my console shows up next week.

Will do!

The only positive thing I can say is that I've really gotten pretty in-shape (I was never super overweight, but a bit chubby in High School) and a bit more defined. Only downside is that I don't really have time or a good avenue in my town for dating so it's all for naught.

Working out isn't only about dating--it's about being healthy, feeling good, and bringing yourself closer to becoming the person you want to be. I've also found that it's great stress relief. Keep up the good work! :D

SmashGAF is love, SmashGAF is family.

Live. Love. SmashGAF <3

College? You make me feel old even if I'm still young (25).

We're twins! High-five!
 
I always imagined you being much younger than that for some reason. I think it's the enthusiasm. You don't seem cynical enough.
I'm only 27. But frankly, I could be multiple times that, and I hope I'd still be upbeat. I'm very fortunate, knock on wood, but I hope that no matter what happens, I never lose sight of the good in the world. There is so much good in the world. I think the best we can do is to help each other see that goodness. Don't judge — love. And never lose your inner child. :-)
 
Here's a question: let's say you had to choose one non-videogame character to put into Smash Bros. Who would it be? I honestly hate the idea of that happening, but for the sake of conversation let's run with it.

Honestly, Wreck-It Ralph would be a pretty good candidate; he at least has a connection to the video game world. I guess you could say Captain N would be a funny joke character as well.
Zoey Redbird from the House of Night Book Series.

She can use the four elements: Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Sprit in her attacks.

Her final smash can be summoning Damien, Shaunee, Erin, and Stevie Rae to complete the Circle for a Ultimate Attack.
 
Man, today is just full of surprises, now we learn (or at least I learned) that Neiteio is a reporter.
Now I can't stop imagining that he ends all his articles with "Wouldn't that be tits?"

Hey, how'd you know Mother 3 was secretly installed on every Smash 3DS XL?

Oh, I meant to mention this earlier. I found out the other day that my girlfriend's roommate is the voice of Little Mac and the announcer who can't pronounce "Fils-Aime" correctly in this video. Blew my mind.
WAT
That is amazing.

I've been reading the past few threads of introspective discussion. Wow.

Never thought it would get like that. Still though...Neiteio's posts bring the warm fuzzies :)

Ahem...back on the topic at hand! Non-gaming character in MY Smash Bros?

Neo. From The Matrix. Yes, Neo.
 
If I had more free time, I would devote several hours every day to posting exclusively in this thread, just to be a character in the fanfic.

In other words, "glad I'm not in it."
Don't worry, maybe you'll be in the next one! No need to be bitter. I hope I come back in the next one, the ones without me aren't worth reading.
 
This thread is suspiciously very active today
Today has been one the strangest days in terms of what we've talked about that I was actually here for lol

Haha, I know, right? He just mentioned in passing like I wasn't a giant Nintendo fan.

Also, this is random, but who is that little 3D blue haired character you use for reaction gifs?
I don't know if I'd freak out or not but I'd maybe just have this expression for the rest of the day :0

Ah, interesting. Never heard of her, but she opened for Lady Gaga, so I guess she must be big.

Ok, that's a crappy quality gif, I'm off to youtube to find a good video to show you!
 
I'm not a big Pokemon fan, but I'd be fine if this was the Pokemon roster for Smash:
Greninja
Charizard
Pikachu
Jigglypuff
Mewtwo
Lucario

This is really what I want most. Having Mewtwo back is all I need for Pokémon and I'm set until the next Smash game. A wide variety of Pokémon types are represented here as well, which I think is an important part of Pokémon representation we often overlook.
 
I was actually just at youtube watching one of "her" concerts. It's interesting; reminds me of Gorllaz's Demon Days tour and how it used holograms as well.
While I'm not a fan of most of her songs, any song done by Mitchie M is hands down great. More realistically voiced Miku is best Miku.

The concerts themselves are just insane.

hey SmashGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGAF, you guys should check out the OT right now
Mobile GAF stays winning.
 
i have no idea what is happening in there

Timedogggggggggggggggggggg g gggg g ggg g g g ggggg ggggg ggggggg ggggggggg ggggggggg's topic is fucking up the first page because of Timedogggggggggggggggggggg g gggg g ggg g g g ggggg ggggg ggggggg ggggggggg ggggggggg's long-ass user name.

Edit: They apparently fixed the issue.
 
Always blows my mind when people think the current Pokemon + Jiggs and Mewtwo would be too many Pokemon.

We're all aware of how many Pokemon were playable in Brawl, right? Six. There were six. That's how many there would be if the above scenario happened.

Honestly I'm more shocked Squirtle and Ivysaur got the axe. I think those two returning alongside Mewtwo and Jiggs would be near perfect for Pokemon. With a roster of 700-odd Pokemon, I think eight would be a fine amount. Especially when 7/8 of them are veterans. I think reps from other gens (2, 3, 5) would be nice, but all Pokemon vets minus Pichu plus Greninja would be rad.
 
awesome post neiteio. very inspirational read. gives good perspective for someone who might think smashGAF (or smash fans in general) is full of people who dont do anything with their lives.

anyways, what's up GAF? im sitting here in this music studio in LA working on my project and am now taking a break. kinda thought we had a potd tonight till i forgot its friday. lol
 
There's a Miku 3DS game coming next year; you should get it.
Haha, I think I'll pass. But thanks for the suggestion. ;)

The music seems fine, not really my cup of tea, but the tech behind the holograms is really cool to me.

I'm also sitting in LA and taking a break from a project (digital art, not music though). I know it's LA so I shouldn't be surprised when people say they're living here, but always cool to see another LA-er in SmashGAF!

aye! what up fellow LA-Artist-SmashGAFfer lol

we should have a meet up around the game's release or something. I would be down if you and any others are!
 

You know, it makes me wonder why they use Fox's Assault model in that skit.

Assault alt confirmed? As long as it replaces his head design.

I've kind of given up hope after 2 games of me blindly asking for it, but I still think Klonoa would make an awesome Smash character, and I feel like Namco wasted a huge opportunity this time of bringing him back by "suggesting" his inclusion in the roster to Sakurai.

- No sword or blue hair that I can see.

His recovery requires inflating an enemy

I'd be super down! As excited as I am for online, nothing beats Smash Bros. in person. Once we get closer to release would should try and work something out for sure.

You guys gunna take a trip down to irvine in two weeks and play smash 3DS at the mall. it will be there 3 days. I'm going friday morning when most people still have work.
 
Looking at that roster with every Smash Character ever, I can't help but wonder why Toon Link isn't just called Young Link and had the character carry on into the future, rather than making a near identical character and bothering to make a name distinction between them, despite Toon Link easily able to be called "Young Link"

Nah, I'm unfortunately working those days. Besides, considering it's likely the same build as E3, I already got a chance to play it.

I'm up for it! And if any of you plan on getting good and going to tournaments from time to time you better keep in touch!
Oh, awesome! I didn't know you were here either. I'll keep a list of people who mention and maybe we can plan some kind of meet up. Or, as you said, at least meet each other at a tournament.
