Wait, isn't Rosalina like the ruler of the universe or something?

Let us debate the theological implications of Smash Bros.

Actually, let's not.

Yes, that was actually brought up last page (which is why we're having the current discussion). tongue

I love how even Pikachu gets in on the debate though.

So... we have Palutena, Goddess of Light, and Rosalina, who's survived the death and rebirth of the universe- it's implied she did so multiple times.

And we can get Arceus out of a pokeball.

Arceus, among others, is present as a Poke/Master Ball assist, too.

I sure said that!

Speaking of Arceus, what the hell is up with its voice? It sounds just really weird and far from being what I expected.

Well if you put a god or similar in a fighting game you have to make them a semi-balanced playable and beatable character.

Remember in Mortal Kombat where you could flatout kill Raiden, GOD of thunder? And Fujin, god of wind and Shinnok, god of who gives a fuck.

The King Of Fighters had Orochi, more or less a god as one of its final bosses yet he was beatable

Marvel VS Capcom has Galactus and Dormammu

Hell even Tales of VS lets you beat the shit out of Dhaos with Mighty Kongman.

So its no surprise that even though Palutena and Rosalina are goddesses, they can easily be beaten.

I think Master Hand does some sort of power balancing himself, like Polygon Man canonically does with his own fighters and All-Star Power.

Zelda is also the Avatar of a goddess.

Then you have Shulk whose Monado allows him to change the future which makes him a low level Reality Warper.

Honestly if Smash were an actual contest most of the people would lose easily to the higher tier characters.

So something which keeps happening in my Wii U copy of Smash Bros 4 which I am really not sure why that is:

In every match, some players start out with a Fire Flower, even though I don't have given Equipment to ANYONE that automatically gives them a Fire Flower to begin with. What could the cause of this be?

Did you mess around with the custom settings or the handicaps?

I don't think so, no. But don't these reset after turning off the console? This is persisting for a while now.

I thought equipment was randomized for the CPU when you play with customs on.

Didn't the VC release of EarthBound do better than anticipated, at least?

Speaking of Arceus, what the hell is up with its voice? It sounds just really weird and far from being what I expected.
Seriously. Especially considering it has been voiced before, in its movie (which I haven't seen, but even clips of the Japanese version show that it has a deep, "old man"-esque voice there). For some reason, in this game it just hilariously screams "HUAEEEGH!".

I mean, I'm not that bothered by it since this game is the first occurrence of me hearing Arceus's voice, but I do feel that it has much more Vocal Dissonance compared to, say, the uproar over Greninja's voice supposedly not fitting it.

Amusingly, listening the voices in the sound test, Lyn sounds... older than I was expecting.
