Went to Gamestop and pre-ordered Smash Wii U and the Mario amiibo.
The aMariibo. ;p
Was gonna get Link too but I don't really use him much in Smash...though he's got stuff in Hyrule Warriors.
And I figured I'd save Fox for when his next game finally got out on Wii U.
You gotta believe me when I scare you away, all that I wish for is that you would stayAbout Isaac... both the first two GS games sold well, whereas his last game was only in 2010. Even though the last game didn't sell that well, it doesn't automatically mean that the franchise has no future because nothing has disconfirmed the possibility of the franchise getting another game. And before anyone brings up F-Zero, the last game in the GS series was 4 years ago, which is more than can be said for F-Zero.
That said, don't confuse this for me saying that Isaac is basically a shoo-in.

So if anyone still hasn't pre-ordered Smash, here's some of the deals
you can get. Dell giving away a $25 gift card just for a $5 deposit is probably the best deal.
And if anyone's still thinking about getting a Wii U, here's some bundles
. Most, predictably, happen on Black Friday.

Souleye - PPPPPP - Potential for Anything 3DS FC: 2621-3105-8671Oh yeah, that series exists, too, doesn't it.
I keep thinking Isaac is the one character who's missing from the game because he's from a respectable original Nintendo IP that still lacks adequate representation. I know practically nothing about Advance Wars except that it has at least one cute female character.
Are there some other respectable Nintendo IPs that I'm missing?

Ice Climbers
There's also apparently Eternal Darkness, if we're counting solid one-offs that few people have ever heard of.
"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guyI bring up Panel De Pon.
I'm not too big a fan of it, but lots of people are, and I admit that I'd like to see what they'd do with Lip.
At least Lip's Theme is still in the Wii U version it seems.
Also, just finished clearing All-Star, Target Blast, and Trophy Rush with everyone, mostly because I wanted to take a break from playing Smash Run too often. Now it's back to farming for Custom parts again...
At least my alternative runs have enlightened me to various other characters that I may use, with Shulk and Robin coming out pretty high up there. (I need to get back into working with Mega Man, however.)

I'm slightly ashamed to admit I have a 87-entry-long wishlist/concept collection of Smash characters saved as a .txt file on my computer. It's kinda fun to toy with this stuff, and it lets me flex some creative liberty without having flounder in a Quicksand Box of possibility.
Also: How did Captain Falcon and Yoshi end up as my best Smash Run scorers at a little over 180000 each? Bizarre. R.O.B.'s actually a bit on the low side, at a little under 160000- He's just not really built for it, despite being the character I'm probably best with.

I sure said that!What are some characters that could never get in smash? Example: Conker

Is this a Jo Jo reference?I wonder if Lana could work as a playable character.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Eh maybe a bit too new and untested but it they did it would kinda be like Robin.
Is this a Jo Jo reference?I'm pretty sure that about 50% of the times I've grabbed a spicy chili, I ran into one of the shielded Zelda guys who reflect projectiles back at you because of course. It's not even just about which enemies appear, but in which constellation - you will believe a conga line of Goombas can be terrifying when you're also being bombarded by one of those flying Kid Icarus skeleton snails, and then you try to fight back when eventually you're not just getting tossed around, but you can't do anything because for some reason you're holding a Super Scope and GODDAMMIT FOX YOU PIECE OF SHIT STOP SHOOTING AND JUST DROP THE FUCKING GUN
(I do not like this mode as much as I wish I did.)
I just wish to heaven that it was online. There really seems to be little reason not to: the other players aren't present in the arena even if you can see where they're going, so the amount of position data that the network would have to send is pretty minimal: transmit a vague sense of what part of the map they're in and what they're doing "News Smash", and only the final battle would have to be fully synched.
Just went through a few smash runs and had some BS along the way. First happened in special door room. It was survive on easy. I won and opened the chest and a bob-omb came out. It immediately exploded. The second issue happened when I fought a darknut. I moved Ike behind the darknut and prepared a charge attack. I attacked and the darknut blocked it with its shield. And no, the darknut did not magically turn around at the last second. I mean, wut?
We are all made of star stuff. Very, very weird star stuff.

... I have no idea what just happened.
I just played Smash Run with Captain Falcon for the first time and I feel like I was just being cheap-shotted and juggled and destroyed and annoyed by every single thing ever. Aaaaand then I got my highest score yet. 159601. Okay. Sure. Thanks.
