I've stopped caring about Smash Bros...

Playing the demo for Conception 2 Children of the Seven Stars.

Really! Everything is awesome, with it!
I wasn't expecting Greninja, but he's still awesome! Ninja Frogs FTW!!!

I can't wait to get Super Smash Bros. For Wii U!

I was expecting Mewtew, because so many people have been asking for him. I think Nintendo is purposefully tricking the players by teasing us with Greninja being Mewtew.

On the miiverse, everyone was spamming "Ridley! Pacman! Shrek!"
Now, it has been silenced.

I can only get the game for the 3DS, because I don't have a Wii U, but I'm content! ^.^

When they showed the assist trophies, the one that stood out to me was pong.

I'm most likely going to be playing on the "For Glory" mode of online, considering I usually play Final Destination. I love that they added boss characters to stages.

I started playing Dark Souls today, and while it's a challenge I get the feeling that it's difficulty is overstated.

Dishonored, on the other hand, is pretty hard when you try to not kill anybody, which is what I'm doing.

Walking Dead season 2 by Telltale Games:
"The wind turbine needs to be shut off!"
"Does anyone know how to operate this?"
*Clem sees the off switch*
"Are you guys wiitarded?"

So I just played Bubsy 3D: Bubsy Visits the James Turell Retrospective.
If I had to describe that game in one word, it'd be "terrifying."

You can kill a few people, just not so many it raises the chaos level.

Playing Persona 3 Portable......

Post by **Sleet** » Thu Apr 10, 2014 3:25 pm

I'm so stoked for Super Smash Bros., especially after all the stuff they announced. I am, however, disappointed the Wii U version will not have all the functionality that the 3DS version has (such as the mode analogous to City Trial from Kirby's Air Ride, a mode so awesome that it made a bad game fun to play.) Also, that they have different release dates. I'm pretty much gonna have to buy both now...

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Thu Apr 10, 2014 7:48 pm

The wii u is going to have it's own game type, but its still in the works.

So, while we wait, I decided to get Naruto, Sasuke, and Tails into brawl!
Tails is now my best character, even though I can play a pretty mean Sasuke.
My brother, on the other hand, does a pretty good job at Naruto. Although the rasengan doesn't render until it hits, its still awesome to see my favorite anime characters in game.

Post by **Sleet** » Thu Apr 10, 2014 10:23 pm

Naruto and Sasuke are not video game characters. I'd love to see Tails, though. Not crossing my fingers, sadly.

It looks like Snake'll be coming back, which is cool!

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Thu Apr 10, 2014 10:36 pm

I'll only be able to buy the 3DS version, unfortunately. But hey, I at least get one of them =3

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Thu Apr 10, 2014 10:50 pm

Hey, don't tell me you've never wanted to slam a rasengan into your opponent.

I hope snake doesn't come back. He's way out of place in Smash.

hypernovatic · Post by **hypernovatic** » Thu Apr 10, 2014 10:54 pm

I think Snake should come back. He was my main in Brawl. I liked how he could set up a few traps.

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 10:31 am

How is he out of place anymore than Sonic or Megaman?

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 10:59 am

Snake just is. No one else in the game is more powerful than him.
He can guide his missiles, plant traps, throw grenades. They basically tried to implement a shooter character into a fighter game.

Snake can camp out on the side, throw grenades and shoot missiles. When you confront him, he's quick to recover from his last attack, and he can easily take out 20% damage from the hit.

If it were me, I wouldn't allow any stereotypical shooter character into the battle.

Samus is a shooter character, but she was the first, so its fine.
No Snake!

Also, Sonic isn't out of place. His appearance was long over due, and I'm glad he's in.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 11:13 am

Snake is more of a espionage player. He's more of a trap mechanic. shooting was only done when discovered. =P

deepskycyan · Post by **deepskycyan** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 11:30 am

With the addition of greninja and the popularity of mewtwo, i'm really suprised they didn't remove lucario.
Pleasantly suprised though. He's my main <3

I also wished there'd be less clones. IMO we don't need another character with an almost identical skillset. Let alone an identical appearance (looking at you, toon link). Just a waste of roster space.

Its too bad Smash Bros. 4 won't be released for the traditional wii. I don't think I'll get used to playing on a handheld console.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 11:47 am

Toon link tends to be better really, he is faster and lighter so you can counter more. But then the normal link is more powerful with longer reach and higher weight.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 2:49 pm

There is only one thing that makes Tails like Sonic. Speed.
Other than that, Tails is his own fighter. Bombs, and electricity. Everywhere.

On Brawl, he is very O.P. He can throw bob-bombs at will, and his down B attack electrocutes the living carp out of your opponent.
His B attack freezes enemies in place for a second, but he rocks.

Maybe if they could make him less powerful, he could totally be in the game!

Mickey the Luxray · Post by **Mickey the Luxray** » Sat Apr 12, 2014 12:45 am

I don't know about you guys but I have a lot of fun playing Fox. I'm awful at SSB but I've taken quite a few lives from my friends who are at least 15 times better than me thanks to the AI buttering them up for that sweet up-C stick kill.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Sat Apr 12, 2014 1:49 am

Keep calm and spam his special attacks Mickey.

I tend not to use his B attacks because I tend to go into Kirby mode whenever I try that. The results: I die. A lot. Thanks, projectile shield

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Sat Apr 12, 2014 4:05 am

Just hit and run with the Fire Fox and Fox Illusion. I'm always targeted because I do that and It really chews up other players.

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 12:25 am

Snake being powerful doesn't make him "out of place," it just makes him poorly balanced.

And actually, Meta Knight is better than Snake in one-on-one, no-items Brawl.

Isn't Meta Knight banned from competitive play? Or was that Pikachu? Or both?

hypernovatic · Post by **hypernovatic** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 8:44 am

Meta Knight is banned. He's in his own tier.

ShadowLightning · Post by **ShadowLightning** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 10:35 am

Everyone's talking about Super Smash Bros. And the only one I've played is the first one.

I can't relate to anything you guys are saying.

In a completely unrelated note, I started playing Clock Tower 3 yesterday. It's a lot... creepier than I imagined it would be. And more difficult too.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 11:06 am

The first clock tower (not the SNES version, though that was still awesome) for the PSX was the scariest. The murderer in that one had everything a classical slasher villain needed and it sent shivers just playing it.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 1:45 pm

Considering that Metal Gear hasn't had a recent game released on a nintendo console, I think they shouldn't bring him back. Even his new game, thats only going to be for PS4 and XboxOne. Snake has got to go, IMO.

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 2:48 pm

Does it have to be recent? Lots of characters haven't had recent games. Look at freaking Ice Climbers. Heck, look at Fox.

Also, there was The Twin Snakes.

DismayWolf · Post by **DismayWolf** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 3:13 pm

I can't wait for the new SSB game to come out. Can't wait to play as Charizard without accidentally switching to Squirtle or Ivysaur

Keep calm and- oh carp panic mode. *gets decapitated by Bobby Barrows*
Happens every time, I prefer it when you can at least hit the enemy with something and then run.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 9:20 pm

Fox and Ice Climbers are nintendo, whereas Snake is a 3rd party character. If Metal Gear Solid chooses not to make any games for nintendo's consoles, nintendo shouldn't put him in their games.

PSX version? I only played the SNES version. What's it like?

It's the direct sequel from the SNES version. It pretty much mirrors what the SNES did, but the deaths, hauntings and music are bumped up thanks to the PSX rating system at the time. Also, you can play as two characters this time. What makes it unique is you still play as the hero from the SNES, but you can also play as her legal guardian, which makes it all the more chilling since you are suppose to be protecting the hero, but playing as her legal guardian suddenly changes the killer to chase her instead.

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Apr 14, 2014 2:04 pm

But they have made MG games for Nintendo consoles, and they don't refuse to do it currently. They just haven't recently.

DismayWolf wrote:I can't wait for the new SSB game to come out. Can't wait to play as Charizard without accidentally switching to Squirtle or Ivysaur

Or having Charizard get exhausted.

I like this build of the character better, though I'll admit I liked Squirtle a lot.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Mon Apr 14, 2014 2:54 pm

Squirtle was useful for grabbing items and the smash ball. A bit limited In combat but hit and run tactics fix that.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 4:59 pm

I just thought he was fun to play. Fortunately Greninja will be fast and have water attacks, so perhaps he'll be just as fun!
