lol
I was kidding, there's no superiority complex, at least not in me.

yeah I know I just see it alot on here in general
 
I'm just kidding, even that was tongue in cheek, I adore SmashGAF, it's the nicest community I've ever been part of, and that's because everyone here is so nice, it's just so perfect

It's fine since I know you're kidding

the junior/member superiority complex thing present on gaf is so weird to me. were not in high school were on a fucking message board

I always found that really weird too...it actually made me more hesitant to branch out outside of the K-ON! OT until I was a member
 
Only Nintendo would have a huge period of nothing, smash bros, and then a platinum game that will definitely be lost in the hype for smash bros immediately after.

I don't think Bayonetta 2 was going to succeed either way given the precedent for Platinum games on the system. Would love to be wrong though. :/

I'm really worried about Captain Toad. Releasing it near the dates for Smash Wii U and Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire remakes scares me.
 
Smashdudes, whilst I know that Namco Bandai is helping to make this game, which company is the main developer behind Smash 3DS and WiiU? Is it being made in NB offices or primarily in Nintendo/Sora Ltd. locations? Do we know this information??

I assume it's Sora, then Namco Bandai and finally Monolith Soft. It is being developed in Namco's office if Sakurai is to be believed.
 
LMFAO

This stream is incredible. Apparently, two days before he had to do commentary for the Smash Invitational, D1 didn't know anything about the items in game so he spent the next two days reading every PotD to get an insight and make sure he knew how to pronounce them and how they worked. :lol
 
Same company that released nothing for like, six months, and then decided to release A Link Between Worlds and Super Mario 3D World on the same exact day.

And the company that thought it'd be a great idea to release F-Zero GX, which was already a struggling franchise at that point, on the same day as Soul Calibur II: Featuring Link.

Don't forget Elite Beat Agents about ten days before the American launch of the Wii.

man I'd like to play a new F-Zero

Namco Bandai IS the main developer for Smash 4.

In the beginning of the April Smash Direct Sakurai says the development is taking place at Bandai Namco's offices.

And I answered my own newcomer question. Two tomorrow though, so that's nice.

In Bandai Namco's building apparently, since there's only 3 members in Sora Ltd, they're Mr. Sakurai, Mrs. Sakurai and Sakurai's cat.
 
The competitive scene wants to embrace them but they're wary both for the sake of time management if the custom screen is unwieldy and not readily accessible and also because they don't want unbeatable jank resulting from the potential combinations.

They're leaning towards going with them though so I'm excited.
The potential to introduce unbeatable jank would be comparable to the potential to reduce unbeatable jank. Hopefully the customisation is easy enough that it's useable.
 
Well, that's a waifu for y-
oh my gosh your avatar is getting more and more...
AFyeICX.jpg


she's still cute in it so it's all cool
True, true.

Horizon I swear if you add one more thing to your avatar I am going to block it

Horizon...you have to tell me who everybody is in your avatar now
Lucina, Chibi Miku, Naru, Naoto, Esdeath (new).

It may get to a point where you can't even see Lucina
I should've done it from the beginning where I added a new one every time we got a new thread. Maybe next Smash lol.

I love juniors, I was even one at some point! It's just that everyone here is so gentle that I think someone needs to shit on them to balance things a little bit
Tough love. I like it. Esdeath approved.

Smash community comes up with a lot of weird names.

I used to think I was the only one who called this the Knee of Justice

Knee_of_Justice_by_SchitzoTiger.jpg


Then I found out the rest of the internet calls it that too. Totally hipster now, gonna have to start calling it The Justice Kneel or something.
Knee of Justice I can understand kind of. Sex kick though.
Justice Kneel lol

Quick Horizon! Add some more waifus!
All in due time.

What is sex kick and why was it bad?

Sex kick is the neutral air moved used where a character will do a kick that has a frozen animation. It's called sex kick because it starts out hard, ends up soft (we're talking about knockback/damage here), and ends up fucking everything over.

They were much better/useful in Melee than Brawl.
 
Man, I really can't wait for Smash 4 to come out already. Can you believe it's been 88 years since Brawl? We're really overdue for its sequel!

Just got to Melia in Xenoblade.
Once again i'll ask if I should bother with her in the team.
I'm quite liking Reyn and Dunban thus far.

*Shulks in Smash so this is Smash Related.
If you play as her, absolutely yes. She takes a bit of getting used to, though, since her Arts aren't generally as immediate as, say, Shulk's or Dunban's.

Basically, you have to get used to the idea of summoning elementals in sort of a stack; whatever you summoned last will be the first to go when you use Melia's Talent Art to discharge it at the enemy. Your stack is only three elementals large, too, so you can't fill her Arts Palette with as many elementals as possible and send 'em all out - only three. So, basically, if you Summon Bolt, Summon Aqua and Summon Wind, in that order, you would then be able to discharge them in the order Wind -> Aqua -> Bolt. That's three separate discharges, so you could also only discharge Wind, then summon another Bolt (assuming its cooldown's ended), and be able to shoot them out Bolt -> Aqua -> Bolt if you so desired.

On the other hand, elementals still residing in the stack give you subtle benefits, such as Regeneration for Summon Aqua or Agility for Summon Wind. Those perks go away when you discharge them, so you can hold onto those elementals (if you really want that perk to last) by summoning them before other, more disposable elementals. I usually never bothered; I just summoned three highly-damaging elementals (Summon Bolt is a beast, and it's easy to find a book to max it out early on if you know where to look) and shot them out at the target as quickly as possible. It's nice to know the option's there, at least.

It seems needlessly complicated on paper, but in practice it's actually really straightforward. Summon elementals, shoot elementals at target in the reverse order of their summoning. Simple.

sex kick is when a character just puts a foot out and hits people. Becoming less effective the longer it's out there. And I was being sarcastic, they're usually good. It was kind of a weird thing to hear that it was swapped.
 
I have a college play audition coming up & I need to do a British accent.

Solution, watch old British movies & speed-run Xenoblade.
 
I was so unoriginal that the using C4 to hurt yourself and be able to do another Up B with snake I just called "Sexy move".

Ok cool. i will definitely keep this in mind.
Now i'm going to have to figure out books though. I never knew I needed them to level up my attacks higher.
Figured they were based on level and i'm currently level 31. I knew something was up when all my moves are like maxed out at the moment in category 1.

It's better to say that the move has a long active period. There's a hit box on it from the start of the animation to the end which is either when you touch the floor or after a long duration in the air.
 
I'm also working my way through Xenoblade right now. Just recruited Riki but plan on exploring the forest more before moving on.

Been playing as Shulk the entire time. Sounds like I need to try switching it up though.

The preeminent game of the Roarin' Twenties. Shame what happened to the Wii U though. What with the Stock Market Crash and the Great Depression that followed.

Yeah she's amazing and really fun to play as.

Though you need to control her yourself because her AI is ass.

Wait, please don't tell me there's already some sort of movement to ban custom movesets from tournaments? Seriously, customs can and will add so much to the competitive scene if we'd just allow them to.

People don't like change. Any new mechanic that can be easily turned off/banned will face resistance sadly.

Shame the AI can't handle her but i'll end up trying her out.

Also I looked on the wiki and found the book locations.
look like i'll be doing that tomorrow. Never realized a lot of times vendors are selling them.
 
I like how on this Enemy_Smash twitch stream, the actual Melee tournament players are telling the Brawl haters to STFU. Glorious.

Most Smash players enjoy every game. It's the reason why they try to be so vocal about how one game is turning out when the time calls for it, they really don't want to see Smash game play compromised. The needless antagonism from sects is a byproduct of people who latched on to one game between Melee and Brawl and parrot genuine talking points with the intent of talking down the other game while reducing the original intent behind these comments.
 
Be careful Horizon, if you add too many waifus to your avatar they will collapse under their own gravity and explode into a supernovae of bad fan-fiction that will consume you.
It's up to you to decide whether that's a good or bad thing...
