Konami hasn't been right in the head recently if Jim "Fucking" Sterling is anything to go by. I wouldn't be completely surprised if Snake got in, but I wouldn't be disappointed if he didn't.

I believe his preferred designation is Jim Fucking Sterling Son.

Pachinko machines are nothing new. I think all the major Japanese publishers except Nintendo and maybe Capcom have them. Castlevania is on its fourth one.

Konami, to be charitable, is not interested in the traditional games industry. The costs are huge, the return on investments are low, they've driven out most of their people that can make them, Metal Gear doesn't make that much money, and it's not something the company really has the stomach for anymore. Once Metal Gear and PES are finished, they'll be out completely.

Of course there is the other issue of them treating their employees even worse than most other Japanese companies do, and how they've been a mess internally for years, but that's a separate topic for elsewhere.

As long as there's no pachinko or pachislot game, there's still hope for Metal Gear's future. But once one of them gets made, all bets are off. It happened with Goemon, Suikoden, and Castlevania.

Dear Wii Fit Trainers on For Glory: Please stop using Header on the edge of the stage. It's an extremely predictable move, and it adds nothing to your strategy.

Header on the edge really only works if they're at the distance that it goes. Most of the time, I see people use it and I'm not even near where it'd hit.

If you're offstage, header can be used to at least stall your fall.

WFT is dangerous to go after offstage because of the header. Not only does it stall their fall, it's a projectile and if we get too close we can be dunked by it.

I usually don't try to edgeguard WFT unless I force her to use to use the hoops.

That's why I just wait for her/him to use the soccer ball, inevitably fail, and have to come back to the stage to actually do something.

Sometimes I like to try and bait out for the dunk. Most of the time I'm just stalling up to the ledge when I do it.

I was waiting for that "Buster at 150%" moment, and you delivered.

Man, I gotta pick this game up again. Actually make use of the buffs ol' Monado Boy got.

@Blitz Train: I was counting Super Paper Mario as an rpg when I talked about Bowser being playable. TTYD was also on mind. It's just a more platformer-focused take on the rpg genre.

Super Paper Mario is a full Action RPG, whereas the Mario RPGs are usually more like "RPGs with some action elements".

I sure said that!

Header provides a slight boost to recovery, and if you know how to direct it, the projectile can keep the enemy back. All in all, it's kind of a useless move though, since it does little damage and knockback unless you get the full combo, which almost no one can be set up for.

Again, makes me wonder if they were purposefully trying to make Wii Fit Trainer weak or what. Header is just... such a weird move.

So something fun I learned.

Greninja model is the shortest one, but he suffers from hitbox issues. His actual hitbox is larger than his body both when crouching and standing.

Weirder yet, this was patched in with the first balance patch, meaning the developers screwed Greninja's hitbox on purpose.

Welp, Greninja's hitbox is wonky. Better nerf Greninja!

Out of curiosity, did anyone here want Ashley to be a playable fighter in Smash 4?

Well that's just bizarre.

Also, remember how I was complaining about people swapping chars fo make a mirror match? I tried to get around that today and ended up in a Kirby mirror match.

They might have done that after figuring that the "fixed" hit-boxes made Greninja too short, giving him too much of an advantage against certain characters/moves?

That B-air got me killed by a Lucas Up-Smash

At a point where I ended up having to convince myself that Lucas's Up-Smash just had invincibility frames somehow

Actually it does. It's invincible for the first 4 frames.

I'm having trouble imagining how someone even inputs an upsmash out of shield like that. Setting smashes to C-Stick or something?

I really wanted Ashley in Smash. I guess I'm happy enough that she made it in as an assist, maybe she's got good chances for next game, assuming Wario Ware is still relevant in six years.

And the most common way, really.

[up][up][up][up]Hrm. Though I suppose it's worth mentioning that Mewtwo still had plenty of time to get hit by landing lag with the scenario in question (and said Lucas was charging in a highly telegraphed fashion), so I don't recall it being anything that circumstantial.
