Palutena's another story, considering sometimes she's a good guy only by comparison.

Dark Pit was right when he said Palutena isn't exempt from being accused of causing a lot of trouble for mortals. She's a Troll, only has one soldier even approaching competent, and in general is kind of a jerk.

Besides the soldiers part, you could use those same words to describe Bayonetta, plus a side order of extreme collateral damage. Don't know about you, but I smell a catfight rivalry coming up if these two ever met.

Bayonetta scarcely ever carves up the landcape herself, right? I mean, yeah, if she wasn't in the area, you wouldn't have angels turning your city into a river of lava or throwing fighter jets at your toy stores, but still.

I have a message from another time...

Bayonetta doesn't carve up the scenery very often; It's just the angels she fights have no concept appropriate force level, and so do ludicrous amounts of collateral damage

...

No? I mean, she teases the hell out of Pit, but besides that the closest she gets to morally questionable is in the backstory, turning Medusa into a monster after she started hassling humanity with disasters. Most of her dialog when she's not possessed by an evil bug or trying to provoke a reaction from Pit is her lamenting how humans are caught in the middle of wars between gods or how she feels guilty over bad things happening when she was usually doing her very best to help.

[up]IIRC, Dark Pit was calling out both Palutena and Viridi for putting mortals in danger.

EDIT: I also found this bit of info on our own Trivia tab for this franchise:

"He (Sakurai) did not say third-party characters have to originate in a video game when he listed the Brawl third-party criteria. He only said 'no manga/anime characters' and that was it when it came to their 'origins.' "

I am assuming by "origins", he means stuff like Trophy information, not the medium they come from. So, for example, Goku's origins would be the first Dragon Ball game if he was ever in Smash Bros.

If by "neat" you mean "the greatest latent troll ever", sure!

Goku's name is just the Japanese title of Sun Wukong, a pivotal character in Journey To The West. The name crops up in nearly every adaptation of that story, no matter how loose.

No, Sakurai was talking about media origins. Literally, he has never once stated "must've originated from a video game". Now, it can be assumed that, sure, but that's not an official thing. Keep in mind he never spoke of 3rd party criteria during Smash 4 outside of the words "must be a special situation" and that's it. For Brawl, he does actually just say "No Manga/Anime characters", and he has to be referring to their media origins, otherwise it'd exempt anyone who happens to appear in a Manga as well(I.E. Mega Man himself). It's just basic common sense he means the media origin.

[up] I guess I misread that, then. I was assuming that it would only exempt talking about the actual media origin. I was thinking that it would only talk about the games based on the anime in regards to stuff like music, stages, and trophies.

Now I'm thinking about the possible Otaku that would've bought Brawl and a Wii had some Anime/Manga characters been in the game. Or even a Wii U or 3DS with Smash Bros. 4.

Oh well, at least those characters can be replicated with Mii fighter.

(On a side note: I might start working on a video showing off my Smash Bros. for Wii U roster tomorrow...I'd show pics of the characters represented by Miis (the actual characters themselves...I don't have a Capture Card) plus the characters in game. I'd go by debut year. (So I'd start the video listing Superman/Shazam first)

On an unrelated note: Mario's Amiibo makes him look like a Firebender

[up][up][up] Toad... Koopa... Goomba... Boo. Long ago, the four kingdoms lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Koopa Kingdom attacked. Only the Plumber, friend of all four kingdoms could stop them but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my attendant and I discovered the new Plumber, an Italian named Mario. And although his Plumbing skills are great, he still has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Mario can save the world.

I'd like to sometime do a match with Full Moon with one of my friends so Moon can record our match. I'd like to rise from the ashes of my humiliating defeat!

I know this is over a page late, but the chocolate sculptures of Chrom and Robin's heads that Lucina's holding is probably in reference to her dialogue with Robin in Hot Spring Scramble and her... odd taste in gifts.

You must understand that outside of battle she's an absolute dork.

Nothing feels better than doing this to someone.

I swear, Greninja has the most satysfing moveset in this game, every time you land a kill combo or kill someone with his specials feels so good.

Eeeeh, Greninja. I've never liked him. He's too...sharp.

I want my Mewtwo back! If he's anything like he was in Melee, he'll be my new main for the next...month or so after he comes out.

Maybe with a little buffing though to fit into Smash 4.

I couldn't care less about Mewtwo personally, never found him to be badass or whatever and all the hate his fans gave Lucario for daring to share one move with him made me really apathetic towards him in general. I don't hate him, but I'm pretty much completely apathetic to his existance, annoying fans or not.
