But seriously, this is getting kinda ridiculous.
Hey guys, gals, nightmarish abominations, and giants, we're getting waaaaaay off-track here, now. ;)

So, a question: Let's assume for one moment that the rumours of a Nintendo Direct next week are true. Outside of Smash news, what is the one thing you'd like to see?

For me, it's kind of feeling like we're overdue a new mainline Kirby game, so that is the one thing I'd like to see, even if it's probably something more likely to be announced early next year, instead.
A mainstream Mario game. That and a new Punch-Out!! game are the two things I want from Nintendo right now.

If this rumor is false, someone's totally gonna say there is a direct the week after that, and everyone will believe them because that's how thirsty we are for news.


But to answer your question. I'd like to see some news on Zelda U. Or just a trailer. Since I need dat HD Zelda in mah bodeh. Or a Pokemon game *cough cough make dat Pokemon Snap 2 before NX, Nintendo. Get on dat ****. cough*

Being like 6+ feet at the age of 15 is like...really rare...at least, compared to a 22 year old that's only 5'8-9....
I'm a 5'9 14 year old. I'm still a few inches from him. :/

Edit: Page 750 everyone. Another milestone beaten.

Let's drop the image stuff before a mod comes. Pretend page 749 never existed.

Nonsense! Page 749 should go down in the Bandanna Brigade history timeline as " The Page With a ****load of Pictures."
Quick, somebody make a history timeline so it doesn't sound like I'm spouting bull****.

Luigi is balanced as is and his down throw nerf doesn't make him overwhelming like before.
Luigi is was balanced PRE PATCH. His grab rewards was offset by his 2nd slowest airspeed in the game, low ground speed, lowest traction, and a recovery almost as gimpable as little mac. 1.1.1 luigi is a worse mario clone. Luigi is underwhelming now as in his weaknesses override his very few strengths.

He still has great aerials and smashes though right?

His aerials don't matter much because of his super slow airspeed. His smashes aren't bad but there's no reason to play luigi anymore. You can play several characters who have a similar grab game like luigi but have better speed, mobility, matchups, and damage like diddy, mario, falcon, Game and watch, Donkey Kong, roy , rob etc. Those characters I listed outmatch luigi in nearly every way. Luigi is a much more limited character and boring to play as and he's a mid tier now

I find it strange that you're 7 years older than me, yet you're barley taller than me.

I believe this fact officially makes me the youngest frequenter on here (Yoshister is slightly older than me). Most of you are 16-20.
I think you're forgetting about me

I wish Halloween was as big as a thing over here :(.

Whether or not pre-patch Luigi was balanced or overwhelmingly powerful really just depends on what you consider "balanced", like for example, imagine a roster with just two characters, these two are :jigglypuff: and :metaknight:. Obviously it isn't balanced, but, is Meta Knight the overpowered character here, or is Jigglypuff just underpowered? The answer is subjective, you could have two people with the exact same skill level arguing two different things, one claiming MK needs nerfs, and the other claiming Jigglypuff needs buffs, and neither of them are wrong, since there isn't actually a set power level people agree on that all characters should be around.

I wish this community would try deciding what level to bring all characters to before arguing whether or not a character was/is overpowered because as of right now, overpowered and underpowered are pretty subjective terms, which kind of sucks since there are some balance problems that need fixing.

Also speaking of balance, I was thinking, if Bandana Dee were to get in, would anyone else here be interested in being part of a Bandana Dee patch notes committee/group of sorts? My timezone is perfect for finding patch changes since I wake up right when they come out usually, so ever since last patch, I'm going to be nearly always first or second to find out if Puff got buffs or not, but I might not be able cover multiple characters at once quickly, so I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in helping find Bandana Dee patch changes as quickly as possible. Some characters end up being low priority and end up not having their changes listed until like 6 hours later, and I really don't want Bandana Dee to end up being one of those characters, so I think it'd be nice if we can make a group that can get those changes a bit faster than that :p.

I want them to nudge the release date of Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon closer. At least into 2015. It's gonna be very hard to avoid spoilers when the game comes out in NTSC regions. However Kirby wise, I want them to announce a new non-gimmicky 3DS platformer, maybe something with Super Star and Squeak Squad references due to being the 20th and 10th anniversaries of those games, respectively. And also with Bandana Dee, obviously.

Also, sweet avi Zerp Zerp . 02 had a wish, apparently.

Was his dthrow the only reason he was good or something (ala IC's)?

Game and Watch better than Luigi? Atleast Luigi has some KO reliability, safety, and doesn't die at 80%. Luigi is still better than him, even if he doesn't win the match-up against him.

R.I.P. Zero.

Wow, the last two matches were amazing.

Someday, Bandana Dee will be there instead of Zero Suit Samus :^)
My God, it finally happened? Took long enough.

So I woke up this morning with 30 alerts. And surprise, not one of them was from Chalo. What is this sorcery?

Not his down throw, the things he gets from his down throw. You can't take a character who revolves around combos and take away his combos. You're left with unfinished, unbalanced character. That'd be like if Game & Watch, a glass cannon, got the invincibility taken off his up smash and a weaker and slower forward smash. You've a got glass, but no cannon. If Jigglypuff, the aerial ace, got her air speed reduced with slower aerials. What remains is a character that has all of his or her's strengths removed with no compensation.
And don't sell Game & Watch story, he's a good character, and he can definitely KO better than Luigi.

I apologize in advance if this is a bit off topic and that it's been asked a million times before but since speculation is always changing, I feel like it still warrants being asked. How likely do you guys think Bandana Dee is? I feel like he's got so many things going for him, but a few hurdles to overcome that may hinder him, and you have to factor in his competition too, so with all that in mind I'm thinking that 40-30% seems right?
Wolf: 90%
King K. Rool: 70%
Bandana Dee 50%
Inkling: 50%
Isaac: 50%
Dixie Kong: 30%
Paper Mario: 25%


Not changing avatar, my current one already fits for Halloween.

So no, I currently don't believe the Shovel Knight rumor and don't think he'll be in the game, and I also don't believe this whole thing about the Inklings either.

What you applied to Jigglypuff also applies to Game and Watch. His lingering hitboxes are gone for the most part, his kill power outside of smashes is now virtually nonexistent, his smashes all have been toned down considerably, bucket braking is gone, which, combined with rage, has him consistently dying before 80%, his attacks are all incredibly unsafe now due to how good shields are. What you're left with is an unbalanced character with major flaws and almost nothing to compensate.

Game and Watch may have some perks, he has too many major flaws to be considered good.

Luigi at least has killing aerials, fast smashes, and his specials, while situational, can be used to kill early (except fireball). While they can be hard to land, they are still fairly reliable.
NWPlayer just deleted her Twitter account, she really was a fraud after all.
Gee, what a shocker! *sarcasm*
I think you're forgetting about me
I don't know your age. :/

Oh, and I changed my profile pic to fit the Halloween spirit. I'll probably swap it to the other two later this month.

I wonder who's the oldest "frequenter"?

Game and Watch also have killing aerials and fast smashes too. There's not a single thing luigi has over game and watch and several other characters. Luigi is the one who is unbalanced and has major flaws and not enough strengths

Game and Watch's fastest smash is Frame 15 (which is dsmash. Fsmash and usmash are Frame 17 and 24 respectively), which is tied with Ganondorf for having the third slowest set of smashes in the game. WOW THAT'S SONIC SPEED RIGHT THERE!!! Compare that to Luigi, who's fastest in frame 6 (his fsmash and usmash are frame 12 and 9 respectively).

Game and Watch's only aerial that kills is uair, which connects about as reliably as Samus' jab at percents where it starts killing. None of his other aerials kill until 170% unless you have a lot of rage or next to the blastline. Luigi has nair, bair, and dair, which are all reliable kill options.

I wonder how long it will take for anyone to notice that I've basically taken Chandy's old role of liking every post?

Did you guys and gals know that spears are probably the most used weapon in all of history? While there's no way to truly confirm it, it's ridiculously likely since spears were used in nearly every battle until the modern era, and, it's not even limited to just Humans or Waddle Dees. Western Chimpanzees actually make wooden spears by chewing off one end and use it to hunt their prey. It's kind of crazy when you think about it, out of all the unique fighting styles we have in Smash, what is arguably the most common weapon and one of the oldest is not present anywhere in the roster. I think it's pretty cool that Bandana Dee would not only be a interesting addition to the game and wouldn't only be a Kirby rep, but he would also fill up such a gaping hole in the roster from a fighting style perspective.

Luigi's airspeed is too slow to actually hit them and all of them are unsafe on shield. Pre patch down throw helped luigi use those kill confirms. Not to mention nair and back air can be easily punished and his dair is situational

Hey guys, if you are gonna talk about Luigi and his moves, go to the Luigi threads and do so. This is not the place to discuss Luigi's aerials.

So does anyone think Bandana Dee would still have Amiibo compatibility in Rainbow Curse?

I imagine they could, it be a waste if they did not.

That being said has anyone ever thought it would be smart if Nintendo goes back to their older Wii u games and put amiibo support for them I.e nintndo land, pikmin 3, ext.

Cute pose! It really WOULD be a nice pose to render! Matter of fact, the moment I first came across this, it reminded me of:
BTW, saw these and figured I should post them:

Why is the second picture censored? You know what, on second thought, I really do not want to know. I will just assume it is Bandana Dee and he is obscured because he has not yet been confirmed for Smash.

I don't feel like changing to a spooky avi.
I'm not THAT obsessed with Jigglypuff.
That's a shame, i was hoping you would say something else.
Yeah, that's me, thanks!
I have Saiyan hair XD
I knew you would look young but i had no idea you would be handsome.
I think most people get preconceived notions about what people look like based on their avi's. For example, people here thought SuperSegaSonicSS SuperSegaSonicSS was a girl due to them commonly having an avatar with a female as the main focus. That doesn't mean I am a deity of time gone rampant.
....what do you guys think i look like?
I wonder how long it will take for anyone to notice that I've basically taken Chandy's old role of liking every post?.
But that job belongs to Chalo, you can't just take it from him.

I really hope they are just eating ice cream.
