1000 chords and the truth

@Tropartner

Just to psyche him out. Him hitting the missile at the end was just stylish overkill. He was on point with his shine reflects throughout the match so it was hard to land charge shots on him. I sent the missile to fake him out and make him shine and he did which gave me a chance to shoot him.

Him hitting the missile was kinda accidental, but damn it looked cool.

Louder than God's revolver and twice as shiny.

[up][up]Yes, and how might one depict his lack of noticeability in a comedic fashion?

Would one, per chance, depict it via making him invisible?

Kellam's supports with Female Robin actually do depict him potentially turning invisible. Whatever his presence issues are, it's more than just "oh wait you're here". The things he does are described as strange phenomena — people notice his place at a table but don't see the person eating there, claiming things he does are the work of spirits, Robin needing to squint and look sideways to be able to see him... Hell, Robin even insists he "achieved enlightenment and transcended this mortal plane" just by leaving to go straighten up some axes in their A-support.

Don't believe me? Here you go.

What I'd probably do is basically once he is summoned he just kinda stands there, doesn't do anything, and there is no way to interact with him.

Then, a minute or so later, after everyone else has written him off as a non-thing, he grabs his spear and shield and starts charging at people.

I think it's funner to play with his gimmick in a meta sense than just "he's invisible" (even if...uh, OK that's weird).

[up]Actually, that is a really good idea.

Incidentally, in my first playthrough of FEA, I actually legitimately didn't notice Kellam in the chapter he's first playable in, up until the big "Ally Phase" thing showed up and he did something.

But saying he's invisible is playing with his gimmick in a meta sense!

I mean I'm not gonna say that your idea isn't pretty dang funny too, though. I do love the idea of him just standing there. Watching. Always watching. Always judging.

@goldmonkey: In one of my online matches against NEO, I falcon-punched his character just as he got launched upwards from a stage hazard.

Also, NEO, if you're reading this, you play a wicked Ganondorf.smile

I'm thinking of Tharja as a potential FE Assist Trophy if Sakurai's team didn't think he outfit was an issue (and I'd like to bring up the Slave Leia Bikini from Return of the Jedi, a movie that still has a PG rating to this day).

[up]There's only so much you can get away with. And Star Wars didn't have a mode that let you zoom in straight to Leia's pantyhosed buttocks in various angles.

That didn't stop Zero Suit Samus from getting her new outfits.

On a different note, anyone up for some tennis?

That's pretty impressive, but I think two Villagers tossing a tree back and fourth still takes the win for how much sillier that one is.

[up][up][up][up]: Touche. Though Tharja's outfit isn't too revealing. Plus her portrait has her covering up her chest.

I guess this is probably because Nintendo wants to have a "kiddy" image all around, but I think it's hurting them as PS 4 and Xbone are beating the Wii U. And I don't see anything bad with underwear needing to be censored.

There's something inherently more suggestive about wearing translucent "clothing" over underwear than shorts and a tank top that could pass for gym clothing. Hell, you could even argue that Samus' form fitting Zero Suit is more suggestive than her casual outfit.

Plus her portrait has her covering up her chest.

Yup, her portrait. The one that's not a 3D model. The one that's not a fully explorable 3D model.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure it's not their embracement of pantyhosed bodies and asses that are giving the PS 4 and Xbone an edge over the Wii U. Also [down]

[up]I'm more going for Nintendo needing to keep a family-friendly image that's hurting them in the long run, and not endorsement of pantyhose.

EDIT: I just remembered that Shulk has his swimsuit outfit in this game, and that is no better than Tharja's outfit.

They really haven't been, though. Heck, I'm pretty sure that NoA actually ADDED sex jokes and Ho Yay to some of their more recent scripts. My guess is there's a top-limit to something featuring Mario or so on, but even that's kinda a stretch, considering what they've gotten away with in the RPGs. So yeah, who knows what happened to Tharja's trophy- Only Sakurai knooooowwwwwwwsss

Video game characters as school kids.

Tetris may not be Nintendo but its themes are in Smash, and Scorpion was on Nintendo systems too. Maybe he'll get in for Smash 5...

And that is what gave me the realization that one of the most irritating things ever is when someone insists Tetris blocks are characters. That's not even the first time I've seen that happen, either.

If the blocks aren't characters than who is, the invisible hand guiding them?

Or maybe the Russians.
