I just now uploaded a personal retrospective on Smash. I don't talk about my experiences with the franchise as a whole, but about the years between Brawl and the newest games (after I talk about rosters). Also I compliment you guys collectively.

@Irene, That's why I said that Cloud would be an unlikely Third-Party choice.

As far as a third DK rep goes, Dixie has more relevance than K. Rool does at this point.

I said that Travis and Scorpion were unlikely as Travis's games didn't sell too well, and Scorpion would not have any fatalities in order for the game to keep an E10+ rating (curiously, why isn't it rated T this time? Melee and Brawl had a T rating!!)

E10+ is the new T. And more of what they were going for.

To the guys talking about clones: Don't forget, Dark pit also has a more controllable up-B, making his recovery slightly better than Dairy milk pit.

A good writer puts in a lot of details in there story. But a great one gets a story from a single detail.

@Wacky Pancake A playable character requires more than a simple hit box for attacking...the sprites, besides Lakitu are all sprite covered obstacles with attack hitboxes and move in simple ways.

Flying man is an exception because he's a stage hazard. Ice Climbers would still be two characters and one being A.i. controlled...8 of those one 3DS screen and 16 of those on Wii-U is a pretty significant system taxer.

The Wii U could handle that load pretty easily, though. That means it all comes down to the 3DS version.

I sure said that!

To celebrate the new year, I have decided to name the new additions to my Mii lineup:

from MARVEL UNIVERSE: Spider-Man, Captain America, Deadpool, Wolverine

from the DCU: Green Arrow, Green Lantern, The Flash, Aquaman, Catwoman

from POWERPUFF GIRLS DOUJINSHI (a PPG webcomic I love):Bell

As far as planned Miis go:

  • Kermit the Frog
  • Ryu (Street Fighter, Brawler)

  • Iron Man (Marvel, Gunner)

  • Thor (Marvel, Sword)

  • Star-Lord (Marvel, Gunner)

  • Wreck-it-Ralph (Disney, Brawler)

  • Schroeder (Peanuts, Brawler...because my mom thought Robin looked like Beethoven when one of her former students played Smash Wii-U with me. So it's more an in-joke for my family/friends)

  • Wolf (Star-Fox, will be taken off if he's announced as DLC, either Brawler or Gunner)

  • Raven (DCU, probably Gunner as I can use that to emulate her magic)

  • Bilbo Baggins (Hobbit/Lord of the Rings, Sword)

  • Edward Elric (Full Metal Alchemist, brawler)

[up][up] I wouldn't be too sure, it has been said that Nintendo could barely get 8 Player Smash to work as it is so it's entirely possible the Ice Climbers could've been a problem if they were still in.

Not to be rude powerpuffbats, but could you ease down with those huge posts you tend to make? It's really bothersome when a single post covers your entire screen, especially when it becomes a habit.

At the very least, use bullet points so the gap between them isn't so huge.

I honestly don't know how to use bullet points on here.

Also, when I try to make lists like that, for some reason if I don't put that space between entries, this site will put them as side by side.

Alternatively, I could do something like this so it's not as big:

HARRY POTTER (using an example): Harry, Dumbledore, Voldemort

HUNGER GAMES: Katniss Everdeen

Would that work for lists?

I made that post about the new Miis I made and the ones I plan to make shorter. Using both my method of using commas and the other method using bullet-points.

I still haven't figured out how to post things like lists or use italics on this site.

Italics is two single quotes, . Lists are ordered by asterisks.

You should read this page, Powerpuffbats. It'll help immensely.

Also, it was Sakurai that talked about 8-Player Smash barely working, if I read the article right. Regardless, even if IC's did work on that(we don't really have any way to know), it only first matters if they work on the 3DS, which was obviously not the case. A full model with full A.I. is still a 5th character onscreen. 8 full A.I. characters onscreen, that is, a much stronger A.I. than something like Luma or the Pikmin, causes issues for the system. In fact, Sakurai outright said he cut PT due to issues with Transformations(this is also the reason for the Zelda/Sheik split) and noted he had to recreate some characters. This is likely why Luma is nowhere near the same A.I. power that Nana has. It couldn't handle it.

And to be fair, the 3DS also shows some pretty obvious differences. It had a lot of stuff removed like the simple ratio for Items beyond "on" and "off", one Poke Ball/Master Ball/Assist Trophy at a time, less items onscreen than normal, and it has lag fairly often at times. The system is blatantly taxed. We can't say what could tax the Wii U, but if they barely got 8-Player Smash working, the possibility that IC's could lag it if 8 were used isn't really that impossible to consider here.

[up] How you do links like that? I couldn't find info on that page. or linking to another site using words like I've seen people on these forums do.

EDIT 2: I figured out how to do that to, so here is a sample:

[up] Since Irene did a poor job of demonstrating, if you're linking to a page on the wiki, don't post the entire URL since it makes it look like an outbound link. Namespace/PageName will suffice like so.

And that's correct on how you pothole, namespace included.
