The Smash Bros Discussion Thread

1P modes in games & more is a little weird though, but what's even weirder is having a games & more button to begin with but not putting Smash Run/Tour in there, then making the button bigger because of how is important it is.
I think the first thing can be explained by saying that 1P mode isn't actually 1P anymore, since practically everything can be co-op in the Wii U version at least. Smash Run/Tour is likely just their big new mode that they want to show off.
 
It could just be that you'll be able to change trophies to their alt colors and each one gets its own pose.
 
If you're going to add one song, Sakurai, one singular song to the Wii U version, for the love of the merciful Trinity, add this one.

 
Man, it is just IMPOSSIBLE to get all the Mii hats easily. Beating classic on 9.0 over and over with the Mii hasn't brought up the hats I need for the last challenge...

Can you guess when this was made?

2008
 
really I would have never guessed with 2008 right there in the comic

Are you a wizard?
 
I actually thought it was a part of the current comic storyline she's got going on. Which is also about Roy babying on his absence in Smash. Except it's really about the confusion on Dark Pit and whatnot.
 
Why was Roy removed again? I liked him a bit more than Marth. :Y

To be fair, getting the year wrong is an Awkward Zombie staple at this point.
I specifically remember for a while in 2014, the comics were still labeled 2013.
Same thing with the year before that.
You can't exactly trust AZ time-stamps.
 
there's a difference between last year and 6 years ago

Because he was only put in to advertise for an upcoming game. He really was just the Dark Pit to Marth's Pit. And he became outdated when Ike came out - an actually likable lord.

Meanwhile Marth gets a free pass for being the first FE character.
 
Marth is also absurdly popular in japan like no one's business
 
He is pretty stupid popular isn't he? And Roy really wasn't that great anyways :/
 
Today in Smash School, I finally learned why Rosalina is considered so top tier.

I just got bodied by one. Was kind of a dick too, so, salt in the ol' wounds.

Wait, you just now figured this out?
Man, you're way behind the curve.
What are your parents doing?
 
Yo, you talkin' shit bout the lion of Pherae?
That sounds like a quick way to get shanked.
With fuckin' fire.
Roy is statistically the worst lord in the series, and being a Marth clone in terms of personality on top of it doesn't give him too many fans.

I'd be much more happy with him if for some reason they retconned the entire character and made him closer to AZ's version of Roy.

Actually, Leif wins that competition.
Like, Roy's a contender for second, but he isn't even close Leaf's level of suck.

and being a Marth clone in terms of personality on top of it doesn't give him too many fans.

Marth is all like 'Teamwork, yeah! No war ever, any circumstances! Now I'm gonna go over here and completely ignore obvious love!'
Whereas Roy is like 'War is shit, but it needs to happen. Just don't make too many bodies while I'm around...
Now I'm just gonna go over here and completely ignore obvious love.'

To be fair, though, that last bit is for every FE Lord with a romance sub-plot.

I'd be much more happy with him if for some reason they retconned the entire character and made him closer to AZ's version of Roy.

Well, that would be the best option, obviously, but it's too cool to ever happen with the way IntSys has been writing their games lately.

-He was a clone
-His game never came to America
-Marth was more popular than him in both Smash and Fire Emblem
-Roy is one of the least popular lords in the FE series
-Can't remove Marth, he's the face of FE
-He was a clone

Well y'know what. I've only encountered two Rosy-players in all of my 1v1 FG matches, so this is my first time seeing it directly.
 
-He was a clone

Didn't stop Falco, didn't stop Weegee, didn't stop Tink.

-His game never came to America

Marth's didn't either, and that didn't stop Lucas, a Japanese-only clone from a less relevant series.

-Marth was more popular than him in both Smash and Fire Emblem

Competitively, sure, but ask a casual player, and I'll bet they fell under the allure of t3h ph1r3.

-Roy is one of the least popular lords in the FE series

Willing to bet more people (even FE fans) will name him before Sephraim. Or Leif.

-Can't remove Marth, he's the face of FE.

He's only the face of FE because of Smash, and now Awakening, I suppose.
 
Didn't stop Falco, didn't stop Weegee, didn't stop Tink.
1. Tink isn't a clone
2. Weegee was decloned in Melee
3. Falco was decloned in Brawl
 
1. Tink isn't a clone

Say what now?
Like, I'm willing to bend the definition of clone to say people like Wolf and Luigi and even Falco ain't clones,
but seriously, what seperates Toon Link from Link, an upsmash? And now a dash attack? Slightly different properties on his specials?
 
Didn't stop Falco, didn't stop Weegee, didn't stop Tink.

I mean that because he's a clone, he was always on the chopping block to begin with.

Marth's didn't either, and that didn't stop Lucas, a Japanese-only clone from a less relevant series.

I thought Marth's game got remade and release in the US? Or something like that. Nonetheless, that still lessened his chances especially since appearance in Smash was there just to advertise that game. Lucas didn't get carried over from Brawl, so I don't see where your argument there is. Nintendo may have been planning to bring Mother 3 overseas way back when, there's no way of knowing what they were thinking (also note just how much Mother stuff was in Brawl-stage, boss, tons of music, character, SSE level...

lol. no.

I guess. But that's only cause he was in Smash

He's only the face of FE because of Smash, and now Awakening, I suppose.

Also because he was the star of the first game. But nonetheless, what's done is done, Marth is now the face of FE and that ain't changing.

1. Tink isn't a clone
2. Weegee was decloned in Melee
3. Falco was decloned in Brawl

1. Yes he is
2. Yea
3. He was?

... Didn't stop Tink (Since Melee if you count YL), didn't stop Falco (Since Melee), didn't stop Weegee (Since 64, heavily de-cloned in Melee).
By that logic, Tink/YL should have been cut off by now, and Falco should have been cut off by now, and maybe Luigi.

I thought Marth's game got remade and release in the US?

The first FE game got re-released on the DS waaaaaay after Melee came out.

Nintendo may have been planning to bring Mother 3 overseas way back when, there's no way of knowing what they were thinking (also note just how much Mother stuff was in Brawl-stage, boss, tons of music, character, SSE level...

My point is that if Roy's cut was because they didn't want to include a Japanese-exclusive character, then why was Lucas in Brawl at all?
IIRC Brawl's release was after the petitions had been met with silence, and was definitely after Tomato's translation project started.

lol. no.

Maybe it's just the people I talk to, but all my casual friends think Roy is cooler than Marth.

I guess. But that's only cause he was in Smash

The only reason people even know what the hell a Fire Emblem is, is because of Smash.

Also because he was the star of the first game. But nonetheless, what's done is done, Marth is now the face of FE and that ain't changing.

Being the star of FE 1 isn't as illustrious a position as one may think; it sold very poorly and is generally regarded as a bad game.
I still don't get how Marth, even now when we have access to all the games, is still regarded as the poster-boy, by fans and IntSys, even though he is the blandest lord in the series by far. He may even be the blandest character in general, which is really something when we're in a series that includes Awakening.
 
But he looks so good.
 
So I went to preorder Smash and a Link Amiibo today

Every single copy of the Smash Bros GameCube Adaptor Bundle AS WELL AS EVERY SINGLE AMIIBO HAVE ALL SOLD OUT

Literally they cannot get any more copies and are sold out.

I was able to get the game and adaptor separately (without the special edition controller, sadface), but the Amiibos all being sold out? Jesus Christ.

Oh yeah. And Pokemon is coming out on that day too.

Nintendo literally will get so much money it's not even funny
