Well my thoughts were pretty pleasant. I am excited for the game.
But at the same time Smash just disappointed me by pushing the date back, I was really excited to finally pre-order a game and have it come out in the summer. then suddenly its pushed back for some reason that its not ready. Which I understand and want a complete working game. But I am confused as to why even have tournament with this new game if its not done? why the push back now? its been building hype and being said it was ready for the summer.

Like the way they introduced Palutena. I don't know much about Kid Icarus since I only played it once in my NES days, but it was ok.

More pumped about all the awesome features the 3DS will have. I feel awesome knowing I can play wirelessly with a lot of people and not feel left out with some of the Megaman stuff that the Wii U will have.

Eleven times.

That's how many times I've tried to steal a Lazer from Fort Zancudo and go on a rampage.

Eleven times in the past day.

None of them have been successful.

Six times were because of cops (either I can't get away from them before I hit something by accident or they hit me), twice because of the other fighter jet that follows you, can't be hit with anything, and doesn't give you any warning during lock-on, once because everyone in the server left before I was ready, once because I had to go to bed, and most recently once because of a system crash.

It's like the balance of the universe itself relies on me not doing that.

Update! Pac-Man is going to be playable is the new Smash Bros.

Chilling in class playing Pokemon Y.

Arcade Pac-man with all sorts of Arcade summons makes me warm inside. X3

Mario Vs. Sonic Vs. Megaman Vs. Pac Man is a dream fight waiting to happen.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Wed Jun 11, 2014 4:18 pm

I thought Pac-man would be outta place, but now that he's in, I might as well give him a try.

Wow, I did not see that coming. :O

So many new, awesome games... How do I choose what to get and beat first?!

Kyuunado wrote:So many new, awesome games... How do I choose what to get and beat first?!

Well that's easy, what do you play games on? we can narrow it down from there. For example; I have a PS3 and PC, so I don't worry about Nintendo or Xbox (though I do have a 3DS, but I am also done with Nintendo for a while).

Then you find a game that fits your play style.
Then flip a coin.

Or you can play all the games, but that's a bit pricy.

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 8:51 pm

Or you could just not play at all?

That's the approach I'll be employing, since I have practically no consoles to play on ;p

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 8:52 pm

Hey, I'm playing slendytubbies 2!
Does anyone else wanna play?

hypernovatic · Post by **hypernovatic** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 8:59 pm

I'm still hoping Lon'qu will be in the new Smash Bros.

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Jun 14, 2014 10:17 am

Super unlikely. We're already getting Marth and Ike. If we get anyone else from Fire Emblem, it'd be either Chrom or someone who doesn't use a sword.

Why're ya done with Nintendo, Crimson?

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Sat Jun 14, 2014 10:49 am

I'm thinking Xenoblade X and Mario Maker are good starts.

Well, I think Chrom would be too similar to Marth, considering he's one of Marth's descendants and he's got the same weapon and class. That and I really like Lon'qu.

People seem to be unlpleased with the amount of landing lag on air attacks. Personally I'm not digging it to much either and hope it gets reduced before release. Its kind of like if Brawl was sped up, had its flaws fixed, and then balanced. To which my friends have started calling Smash 4, Project-B.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Sat Jun 14, 2014 5:47 pm

Still holding out for Krystal. and her awesome staff battling abilities. Nintendo really should use this game as a good way to turn her into a cool, awesome fighter.

At the very least, Simon/Richter Belmont.

I can't afford to replace my 3ds (It broke) and cant get a wiiU so all the games I would want, I can't get right now. I choose the wrong wording I suppose. more or less even with my 3ds working I am getting bored a bit with the games.

Well since there is a new star fox game coming out. Perhaps she will be a secret character?

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sat Jun 14, 2014 10:33 pm

After seeing Pac-Man's move sets, I flippin' love him! So, I've decided to make a list of the most likely fighters I'll be using.
newcomers:
1. Pac-man
2. Mii (Tails)
3. Palutena
4. Greninja

Veteran fighters:
1. Marth
2. Toon Link
3. Shiek
4. Bowser

I will be using Wii fit trainer some time, but I don't think she'll be a main fighter.

Also, did I just hear someone say "new starfox game"?

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 4:12 am

In any future trailer I guarantee that "Do a barrel roll" will be said.

Yes, though once a rumor it has been confirmed to be happening. This is why there will be no Metroid game.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 9:40 am

I personally don't care much for the Metroid series. The one time I played it, I hated the mechanics in the game, so... Yeah, I prefer Starfox!

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 2:40 pm

At least play Super Metroid if you haven't yet. In which case, you are missing one of the most well-made videogames ever made on any system.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 3:28 pm

Super Metroid is really good, but Metroid Fusion is still awesome in my opinion, I am now taking the time to beat the prime series, with only Echoes left to go.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 5:32 pm

Bought Legend of Zelda 1,2 and OoT on the Wii for Father's Day for my pops. Him and Mom go nuts over them. This is an accurate description of them:

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 10:26 pm

That's actually really cute. I'm jealous of you for having parents like that!

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 11:56 pm

My dad knows that I like videogames, but he doesn't give a carp for playing them. He's a big fan of comics, so I thought for sure he'd enjoy "Arkham Asylum" or "Injustice: Gods Among Us". But, he wouldn't play :/

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Mon Jun 16, 2014 12:27 am

My mum only understood Candy Crush and played it occasionally. She does ask me to help her out from time to time. But that's about it about my parents and videogames, though she knows about most of the games that the three of us play, even the *ahem* pervy ones. :p

My brother and sister were just embarrassed to death. Me? I loved every moment of it. My mother use to play NES games all the time with me before we met my stepdad. Since the only games he ever played was Golf and Zelda, I decided I might as well make that my priority now.

Just find it funny she played the first Zelda almost all day yesterday while he was there yelling tips to her, all while wishing she'd strangle him. He does talk too loud and excited, though. X3

Get her Majoras mask, that would be hours of priceless comedy.

Well Marth and Roy were very similar in style as well. The only justification for Chrom is that the other two had the oldest (Marth) and newest (Roy/Ike) main character. I wanted to see Hector back in the day, but obviously that never happened.

But yeah, if we get someone else it would likely not be a sword user.

I would love Krystal. She could even use the staff from SFA plus magic and it'd be sweet. And fanboys (and fangirls!) would swoon.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Mon Jun 16, 2014 5:43 pm

Fox was a better magic user than Krystal. All she could do was shoot fireballs at enemies. Fox unlocked the rest of the abilities :/

Sadly, they ain't a fan of the 3D links. =(

MrNeonShot wrote:Fox was a better magic user than Krystal. All she could do was shoot fireballs at enemies. Fox unlocked the rest of the abilities :/

I think Nintendo just sucks at having other people stealing the show. But I don't get why they don't let her use the staff anymore. It's like an important part of her character I find, similar to how the Arwings are an important part to Star Fox. Personally, I felt Armada summed up exactly what Nintendo wanted out of her ~ A Peppy replacement and love interest for Fox in one. I just wish that mentality was scrapped for something much more better.

Long range, strong shots... hits slow. That's the way I picture her. =P

Fans would go nuts over the alternate fur patterns. X3

OoT is fun. I have it for my 3ds.
Its cool that your parents love games. My dad is not much of a fan of games, unless aliens are being attacked. then he is more okay. but he isn't one for the style of games I enjoy. which are the nice long ones like civilization.

@Sleet

There are quite a few stages like that.
