[IceBreakerXY]

Awesome, no offense, but please stop trying to hide things from others, it's kind of offputting. Please understand, thank you. Moving on.

While I'm not necessarily sure what your refering to. FYI half ass calling someone out Is worse than calling someone.not sure what I have to hide seeing as I been very vocal in the past about my beliefs.Mainly stating a like wolf as a character but don't think he's coming back.I highly support Issac and bdee with both holding a spot in my avi and sig.And as many others just wanting a new Dk rep.now if you have a personal problem me please let me know I'm all ears

 

[NintenZ]

Never mind, just know that these are just my opinions, if you guys don't agree on them, then that's fine by me, just know that I appreciate Bandana Dee for many things and would love to see him, alright? Alright.

Hey, stuff like that happens all the time.

The man who invented the Seven Dirty Words was a narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

I'll be honest, when Hoo Hah was a thing I didn't find the phrase that funny. Now that Diddy's been adjusted those jokes are nonexistent, which I'm glad.

I don't think it's really a good idea to talk about any potential character as if he/she is a "shoo-in." We've never had ballot DLC before and we haven't gotten a lot of hints so far about how Sakurai and co. are going to go about picking which characters make the cut. I think that makes it hard to accurately predict a character's chances. Plus, I feel like "shoo-in" talk can make people believe there are fewer spots "up for grabs," and in doing so encourage supporter groups to be more competitive than they need to be (e.g., believing that Wolf/K. Rool are guaranteed, so there are really only 1 or 2 spots for newcomers and that Krystal and Dixie can't make it since there won't be two DLC characters from the same series).
.

I've gotta be honest.

Even though Wolf's not really as safe a bet as people are assuming, Krystal has absolutely no chance whatsoever of getting in. Her support has plummeted in the years between Brawl and SSB4, and she's likely to have been written out of the Star Fox series judging by Zero essentially being another reboot. Wolf is a veteran and a much more popular pick than Krystal. As far as I'm concerned, it's either him or nobody. I'm banking on the latter.

Dixie and K. Rool are completely different. K. Rool has popularity on his side, while Dixie has relevance. There is legitimate reason to think Dixie could get in over K. Rool.

I feel like part of the reason why Tails hasn't been a super popular pick on Smash sites is because a lot of people thought there was a strict 1 character per third party rule before Ryu's reveal and didn't want to waste time building support for somebody who seemed like a no-hoper. Now that Capcom has two characters in the game, I think things look a little better for Tails, though his relative lack of support during the time the ballot was open may hurt his chances.

It's not just the fan-made "1 character per third party" rule. I think Ryu caused a lot of people to assume that third parties would only get one character per series (since Capcom got one Mega Man rep and one Street Fighter rep).

However, nobody really factors in how different Capcom and Sega are. Capcom has several huge franchises that deserve representation. Choosing Ryu and Mega Man rather than, say, Mega Man and Proto Man or Ryu and Ken was the best option. Sega, meanwhile, really only has Sonic. They've got a ton of other series, but none of them are anywhere near the level of Sonic. A second Sonic character would just make a lot more sense than putting in someone like NiGHTS or AiAi.

I don't like GAF but it definitely has its moments. I still kind of think its one of the better gaming forums, which is kind of sad. I often forget how terrible other forums generally are, they tend to be much more offensive and pretty awful. GAF has issues itself, even with a really unlikeable person running it. But I like that they have zero tolerance on racism, sexism, transphobicism, etc

Check out what I found at Walmart

 

[N3ON]

This may be Sakurai's final game, but if it isn't then the final character should be, Metal Mario.

It may be, but then again Sakurai acts like every Smash game since Melee is his final Smash game.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I also want Bandana Dee for Sakurai, he deserves a character from his own franchise because of all of the awesome things he's done over the years.

Covered.

And trying to argue against Sakurai's influence on KI is like trying to argue against Rare's influence on DK.

I think half of the time he is just talking about his approach to the game. He feels that he has to try his best because he doesn't know if it will be the last game or not. Either that, or the development really does wear him down. I will say that for Smash for Wii U/3DS I do get a sense he's happier with the development process.

Just a friendly remider that this is ok in video games:

https://youtu.be/0RLoaNQZwU8?t=25m18s

Yet, this is "problematic" and people get upset when they see it:

Spoiler

Note that I'm not talking about specific cases, but rather using examples to speak about broad categories.

There has to come a point where you have to question priorities.

For the sake of argument (since obviously this is not something easily changed - rather, I'm trying to get insight into the collective mainstream psyche), why is one allowed while the other isn't? Especially when the latter is very harmless.

You can't use the casual market as an argument anymore, because it's harder to go less mainstream than indy.

If Shovel Knight is in, then my speculation was off base and I backed a correct rumor.

If Shovel Knight isn't in, then my speculation was completely correctly and I backed a false rumor.

Honestly?

The point is senseless violence and senseless nudity are different. VERY different.

Senseless violence, usually at least makes sense from a logic driven based perspective on what the genre is. If someone is slashing at you with a knife. There is going to be blood. Same for a robot beating someone to death.

Senseless nudity and skin? That's usually not story driven, nor is it needed. It's created from a perverted perspective and that's why people question it more.

There is no reason for there to be lingerie costumes in a game about ghosts.

It's the same for Friday the 13th. To use a perfect movie example that is similar.

The violence Jason enacts against his victims at least is necessary from a genre and story perspective. Even when it's excessive.

However there is never a single reason for a girl to get naked or half naked other than to tantalize the male nerds in the audience.

Hell, I'd say the same damn thing about all the male nudity thrown into the Metal Gear games too.

You can easily back out but it won't be worth it.

You're probably stubborn like I always am. You're also backing the RogerBase rumor as well

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Violence is easier to be desensitized to because it's much more tolerated in the main stream, thus we have less of an emotional reaction toward it...

However, nudity is something people try to hide and keep secret. It's not allowed in the main stream except in instances where it's used to invoke emotion. It CAN invoke emotion because it's harder to be desensitized to it because it's not allowed in the main stream.

But one could argue that sexuality is just as human as a love for violence?

It may not be needed story wise, but it can help us connect or become invested. It's why we enjoy sexy characters even if they aren't sexual ones.

Plus everyone enjoys a little skin.

I don't have a problem with fanservice as long as its an actual character and not literally a slong/pair or boobs.

I find the avoidance of sex to be problematic.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I wonder if sex was just as common as violence in culture if people would just become just as desensitized to it

 

[PushDustIn]

You can easily back out but it won't be worth it.

You're probably stubborn like I always am. You're also backing the RogerBase rumor as well

The problem is this:

1. I know Tamaki's source is legitimate and has proven that they have leaked correct information in the past.

2. I don't think Shovel Knight would get in Smash, based on he's unknown in Japan and he's an indie character. I was one of the strongest anti-SK people in the speculation community probably.

Therefore, I think both scenarios could play out. It's not being stubborn, I literally can't decide what to back. Since there is at least a source behind SK being in Smash, I'm at least more willing to back #1 as there is no reason to believe it's false information at this time while #2 is just based on my opinion.

For the RogersBase one, I wonder if there is some shred of credibility in it (But I'm a lot less confident in it). I have my full thoughts on the matter being posted in the near future.

 

[Deleted member]

When did "depiction of underaged girl in lingerie vs. depiction of killer robots that visually tear you limb from limb" in regards to censorship become a generic "sexuality vs. violence" debate?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

There are certain forms of media that had graphic violence in them that kind of shocked me which lead to me having more desensitization to violence that I can SPECIFICALLY remember.

The first time I read JTHM, I was a little disturbed from some of the things in it and it changed my entire perception from that point

 

[Champ Gold]

Asking the west to not be desensitized of sex is asking Japan to do the same with violence.



Thing is that people are gonna be offended regardless and it's the company's job to make sure not bring in that type of press. Not all bad press is good press. Don't believe me, remember people straight up bashing Nintendo over the gay marriage situation in Tomodachi Life because no one wants to hear Ellen Degeneres mouth over it and crapping over Nintendo

I'll agree with this. I enjoy some skin too.

However in the back of my head everytime a hot guy is half naked I still go.

''While that was nice? Was that really necessary?"

There was an episode early in to the CW version of the Flash where The Flash was facing a chick who could make things explode with her touch.

She blew up his costume and left him in an alleyway in his boxers.

It was nothing more than ''Hey, so Grant Gustin is pretty isn't he?"

And that's why people question skin more than violence. Story based nudity is like a needle in a hay sack, because a majority of it is just to have a pretty guy or gal naked.
