SMASH BROS THREAD

[Becksworth]

Not only beat him on very hard, but dumb luck falcon punched him out of the stage. I’m weirdly satisfied by this.

 

[Kzinssie]

i can't believe geno is dead

Sephiroth is a lot of fun, though. I feel like that side B is a very powerful tool, but I don't quite have a grasp on how to land it. Forward smash kills disgustingly early? I did a match with the shirtless alt on a custom stage that looks like a Wal-Mart parking lot and recreated the rural North Carolina experience.

I'm glad FF7 finally has more music representation, though I do wish we had gotten some tracks or remixes from across the series. But I guess they wanted to keep it hyper-focused on FF7 specifically, and perhaps the music rights are a bigger tangle than I thought.

Though it would've been funny if they used the music for that other Sephirot* to confuse the hell out of everyone who hasn't played FFXIV.

*Better than One Winged Angel, fite me

THE EDGE IS CALLING TONIGHT

 

[Kzinssie]

Apparently "edge" actually is Sephiroth's internal codename, fun fact

 

[BEAT]

I love TALL MEAN DWEEB because finally little mac has a matchup that's, well not FAVORABLE but at the very least not grotesquely unfair.

 

[BEAT]

I dunno what it is about the pretty dork, but for some reason whenever he shows up in quickplay it's like a TINY GIFT from the gods of punching.

 

[Bongo]

This weekend you can get three limited-time spirits from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Feels like a long time since they've done one of those, huh?

It is probably best to bump this thread because, as discussed in the Nintendo thread, there is due to be a Smash announcement later today.

I am pulling for Xeno-representation.

... But I'm always pulling for Xeno-representation.

 

[RT-55J]

Gonna have a good hearty laugh if the next character is KOS-MOS.

 

[BEAT]

I'm pulling for DOOMGUY but I'll be happy with basically anything that's not Sora from Kingdom Hearts.

 

[BEAT]

I don't even dislike Kingdom Hearts.

I just FUCKING HATE DISNEY

 

[BEAT]

And Blizzard.
And Epic.
And Persona in particular.


Anything other than those and we're fine.

 

[gogglebob]

Oh! It's the anniversary of Pokémon this year, too. They're probably going to introduce Scorbunny The Galarian Female Trainer that Says Swears.

 

[Octopus Prime]

Shorts Boy or Get out!

 

[Zef]

This year it will be the year Erik the Swift, Baleog the Fierce, and Olaf the Stout, finally share the spotlight with Sephiroth and Mario.

(TBH, I'm only rooting for them because it's very Unlikely that Lester will get a shot.)

 

[RT-55J]

And Epic.

so does this mean that the smiley guy from Potomac Computer Systems' magnum opus ZZT is out of the question?

She doesn't actually swear cusses, she just has BIG SWEAR A CUSS ENERGY, as the kids say.

Quit making up words.

 

[MetManMas]

Right now I'm rooting for some more Animal Crossing representation (It's New Horizons' 1st anniversary next month) or a proper rep for the 3D Land/World branch of the Mario series (Pom Pom would kick ass). But I would be cool with Ryu Hayabusa. Or Sir Arthur. Or Chun-Li.

KOS-MOS is one of those characters I've written off as "If Mai couldn't get in..." I mean, her design probably isn't too risqué for Smash on its own if you mainly focus on the first game, but I flash back to that one Project X Zone gif of her and rival T-ELOS cutting their tops open with knife necklaces and I just don't see her happening in an E-10 game.

 

[Patrick]

I'd like to see another Namco rep. A Tekken or Soul Calibur fighter makes the most sense, but the Prince of all Cosmos would be a great out-of-left-field pull.

 

[Becksworth]

Given our track record so far with our prediction spread if there was a Xeno character it would probably be Melia or someone else we didn’t guess.

 

[Zef]

Let's add another Link to the chain!

If Joker, originating from an M game, was able to pull the rest of the Phantom Thieves and specifically Panther and Queen in as both background elements and Spirits, I don't think Nintendo would object to KOS-MOS in any incarnation.

Except maybe MOK-KOS.

Jesus confirmed for smash

 

[Torzelbaum]

I'd like to see another Namco rep.

But we already have Namco rep. I think we need a rep from another 3rd party that was a big part of video game and Nintendo history - we need the Karate Champ for Smash!

 

[Phantoon]

How about Klonoa?

 

[Bongo]

Well, @BEAT guessed Rex and Pyra, and @Seven guessed Rex with backup from Pyra and Mythra, but nobody guessed Pyra and Mythra.

 

[MetManMas]

Welp, Xenoblade 2 was due a rep. At least the sword anime this time is a girl. Who doesn't have some menu screen/Amiibo hogging male alt.

 

[Regulus]

Man, I cannot stand Xenoblade 2's character design.

 

[Becksworth]

I like form shifting characters, and am disappointed we never got a Zelda/Sheik echo or something were she got her old down b back, so I’ll take this.
