acquiring sentience IS sentience, is a baby not a person because it's not fully formed lol?
different subject entirely, but there's an argument to be made that killing a month old baby is as morally insignificant as aborting a fetus or squashing a bug

The Z moves are pretty lame (since you have to make a pokemon hold the item for it), take forever and are just dumb to the point that I've only used a single one in the 15 hours I've played.
yeah, i didn't use z-moves at all for my first playthrough for the same reasons

i've since discovered that there are ways to make them interesting, though—you can use a z-crystal to power-up non-damaging moves, too, like work up, and it'll give you an extra attack boost

my favorite of the ones i've found is Z-Conversion, which a porygon can use to change its type into whatever the first move on the attack list is (in my case, shadow ball) while also boosting every one of its stats by a level, which is pretty fucking dope if you ask me

there's also Z-Parting Shot, which does the normal effect of lowering your opponent's stats and switching out, but this time it fully heals the pokémon you're switching to

among others

Decided Hilda as a Zelda Echo would be brilliant and extremely likely, but it's too late for me to lock her in now.

Someone brought up to me that Skull Kid (or just Majora) may be a boss, not a character, because the Moon being an Assist Trophy kind of takes away his one most obvious option for a Final Smash. Not sure how to feel about that.

feeling like posting more predictions

So, I think I have an idea of how many characters will be in the final roster, and it's pretty much just based off of (possibly incorrect) assumptions of how the Smashdown mode will work. In order for the mode to make any sense mathematically, and assuming it's a 4-player only, the final number of playable characters has to be divisible by 4. Otherwise, the remainder of fighters will not enough for each player.

The official website recognizes 71 different characters, including Mii and Echo Fighters, and it treats Pokémon Trainer as one fighter. Based on these observations, we could be looking at a final roster total of 72, 76, 80, or perhaps even 84. Any more than that doesn't seem likely to me.

Then again, if we assume that 1v1 and 1v1v1 are possible in Smashdown, then the total would have to be divisible by 2, 3, and 4. That leaves us with only two (realistic) numbers—72 and 84.

So, the way I see it, if my stab-in-the-dark assumptions are correct, we're going to receive either 9 or 13 more character announcements before December 7th (or just one, I guess, but that would be super lame and I severely doubt Sakurai would do us like that).

I'm gonna bank on 84, personally. Oh, and if you're wondering if the process of unlocking characters will fuck with Smashdown, I also predict that the mode will only be available once all characters have been unlocked. This also means that there won't be DLC (but that's more wishful thinking on my part than anything else).

13 new characters is also very convenient, because I just so happen to have whittled down my predictions to precisely that number:

ABSOLUTE SHOO-INS
#1. Geno
#2. Shadow (Echo of Sonic)
#3. Skull Kid

WOULD PUT MONEY ON
#4. Banjo & Kazooie
#5. Ken (Echo of Ryu)
#6. Isabelle (Echo of Villager)

PRETTY GOOD CHANCE BUT MAYBE NOT
#7. Decidueye
#8. Dixie Kong (Echo of Diddy Kong)
#9. Rex

WILD CARDS, LOW ODDS, BUT I GET TO BRAG IF I'M RIGHT
#10. Spring Man
#11. Ribbon Girl (Echo of Spring Man)
#12. Isaac
#13. Marx

Trying to play it safe for the most part, nothing too crazy. Marx will be the hardest of reads, I don't actually expect him though.

Would not be surprised if Bandana Dee, Rayman, or some other Gen VII Pokémon turned up instead, but I'm not banking on it. These are the ones I'm locking in. I almost had Viridi and Sora as wild cards, but decided against it.

Is the Planet Zebes music from Smash 64 in any of the Metroid games?
yeah, that theme would be from the original game

can you wall jump

took me the longest time trying to figure out how it works, but it's so much fun
You can wall jump?!
yee, it's kinda tricky though

technically, there's a couple of monkey-like creatures in green brinstar that demonstrate how to do it, but even then, it won't be 100% clear what you're supposed to do button-wise

being able to figure out stuff like this for myself is one of my favorite things about the game, so i'll just put it in a spoiler

Spoiler
if you do a spin jump towards a wall, then hit the opposite direction as soon as you touch it, you'll notice that samus's sprite will change

if you hit A at this point with proper timing, she'll jump off the wall, which can be done repeatedly to climb up just about any vertical shaft that doesn't have a ceiling or something blocking you

i've made numerous attempts at completing a living dex in the past, but when you start obliging me to move my ass over to a gamestop several hours away to ask some snotty apathetic employee for a fucking magearna or whatever the fuck, just to drive all the way back because i'm not getting literally anything else, you are asking WAY too much of me

All done: completed the Living Dex with my girlfriend this weekend. I now have a save file with every single pokemon organized numerically. Includes every form of every evolutionary line (so not just getting a charmandar and evolving it into charizard, but having an individual charmander, charmeleon and charizard) as well as all the legendary / mythical / event pokemon #1-721 (including the likes of Volcanion, Meloetta, Genesect...). All obtained legit, got maybe 1 or 2 through online trades (if any at all). Also includes around 150+ shiny pokemon. A bunch of them are fakes gotten through (wonder)trades but dozens of them are as legit as can be.
congratulations

it doesn't count unless they all have competitive builds, though

what's your favorite thing about the game so far? for me it's the atmosphere

i've found that the game is best played alone in a dark room at night—i haven't had a more immersive experience playing a game

Playing as Samus made me buy Super Metroid. It's a game I've always wanted to play but never had a chance to because my older brother had a Genesis instead of a SNES.
welcome to the best game of all time enjoy your stay

what the fuck
the fight itself is also interesting for several reasons, because the abyss is such a weirdly perfect location to have the fight—it removes all depth perception, making it so the kings look farther away than they really are (which i always thought was an interesting effect) and allows both parties to have free movement, since there's literally nothing to keep your eye on but the boss itself

having more kings spawn the longer you take to defeat them is also an interesting mechanic

i'm honestly struggling to think of what not to like about it, really, unless you just don't like tougher bosses

even the music, which tends to range from bad-to-mediocre in this game, was one of the better themes

>four kings in top 3
they're fun! i tend to favor the most conventionally difficult bosses because fighting them is super intense and it feels orgasmic when you finally take them out

also they have a cool design
