my favorite thing about star wars is that everyone becomes an expert strategist when discussing it

so is it just me or is the numbering of the characters really bothersome

like, it seems so inconsistent. the third party characters arent all together, characters arent grouped by series

i thought it was based on the characters first appearance, but thats not right either

help

they're ordered by first appearance in a smash game, not in general

first of all, echo fighters are grouped with the character they're echoing because duh

01-08 is the initial smash 64 roster, in order in which they're identified in the original intro

09-12 are 64's unlockable characters, in seemingly arbitrary order (Luigi and Captain Falcon appear simultaneously in the intro, with Ness and Jigglypuff showing up after, yet the ultimate order is luigi/ness/falcon/puff, so i dunno what's going on there)

then we get to the melee newcomer starters (13-17), which is an interesting case, because instead of going by melee's disc intro, they actually chose to go by the trailer they showed at E3, when the game was first revealed to the public

for the disc intro, it goes like this: Peach, Bowser, Ice Climbers, Zelda, and Sheik—which is close, but does not correspond perfectly with ultimate's ordering, where Sheik is listed before Zelda

this is because there's a very slight difference between the two intros: the original E3 intro doesn't show Zelda at all; just another clip of Sheik throwing some needles—the familiar Zelda clip of her using Din's Fire was added later when the game actually came out, and that's why Sheik is listed before Zelda

18-26 are all of melee's unlockable characters, and i honestly couldn't tell you what they're going by here—they seem to be ordered roughly by who would be most likely for the average player to unlock first (with Dr. Mario and Pichu being considered "early" unlocks, and Mewtwo and Mr. G&W being considered "late" unlocks), but that's just a spitball

then we get to the brawl characters, and i think you get the idea by now

27-31 is Meta Knight, Pit, Zero Suit Samus, Wario, and Snake, which is the exact order in which they were revealed in Brawl's extremely memorable E3 trailer which i don't even think i need to link, and the rest (i believe) are based on the order in which they were posted about on brawl's old blog site, the Smash Dojo

from there it's pretty straightforward i think, you get the idea

"sounds good"

not that i've ever seen anyone use the word in this way

on one hand, it's not like they understand or care what you're doing

on the other, you could do something useful with your life instead

Why star wars is stupid and gay and if you like them you’re a retard ok

part of the point i'm making

As long as he did nothing illegal then I have more respect for any platform that doesn't ban him or Infowars. I may not care for Alex Jones but I do like when any site upholds the values of freedom of expression even though they aren't legally required to.

Exactly, and this is the answer to that regurgitated XKCD comic verb posted. No one here is a lawyer - we're not arguing constitutional law. We're arguing ethics and morality. Just because something is legal doesn't make it right.

but it is right in this case

so metroid has become the fifth franchise to have more than three representatives in smash

anyone else stoked about the new iron man modes?

keep in mind husky's 15 or something

Hooray for censorship!

This guy is calling parents who lost their toddlers in a school shooting "actors". Is this really the hill you want to die on?

IDGAF. Nobody, not even ANTIFA, deserves to be deplatformed.

hahaha fucking liar

I don't even like Alex Jones. Doesn't mean I think he should be banned from every platform. Not going to bother arguing with you though.

Because you'll lose. Because you and I both know you'd be happy if The Young Turks got banned from YouTube. And that you'd come up with some bullshit alt right "logic" to try and rationalize it.

As much as bo3 is a complete fucking joke for Melee, it was so good to see him come out on top. He was so hard done by with those visa issues, and it stops people whinging about Melee being dead because Armada/Hbox won and Mango placed outside the top 1 therefore making him washed-up according to experts who started playing because of the documentary and switched to smash 4 when Bayonetta was announced.

What I want from Smash for the rest of this year and 2019:
-B0XX to be universally legalised (in Hax’s nerfed form ofc)
-B0XX to be released for sale
-UCF patch to remove Phantom hits entirely
-joint return of PPMD and Hax by next Genesis
-if Melee is there, bo5 at Evo for at least top 32
-American side tourneys to stop scheduling conflicts with Australia’s only supermajor
-Isai x Zonda doubles team in Smash 64

don't forget samox finally releasing Metagame ffs

i actually don't particularly mind phantom hits as a mechanic, because as far as i know, it's just what happens when a hitbox and hurtbox are within a pixel's dick of overlapping, but still not quite—not enough to register a proper hit—which, in other fighting games, would simply register as a whiff

so by "removing" phantom hits, would you want them to register as whiffs, or as actual hits?

Street Fighter's top 8 is soon

winners:
Problem-X vs. gachikun
Fuudo vs. Tokido

losers:
Luffy vs. THE COOL KID93
Caba vs. Fujimara

i only know four players this year—the only one i like is tokido
problem-x is a bison player, iirc, so i automatically don't like him
luffy is the guy who picks characters based on how big their tits are, so i obviously want him to lose
i hate fuudo for a variety of reasons

don't know anyone else, i guess i'm rooting for tokido even though he won last year

Smash Ultimate Direct for the 8th

and they said there'd be nothing announced at evo

Leffen wins (which means Armada loses, thank fucking god)

I want Hbox to win again, 50% because he's one of my favorite players, 50% because people would cry.

Leffen winning isn't ideal, but we'll see if he can't bring it back. #1 in the world for a reason.

he bought them to his own accord at complete random

anything else worthy of mention? i'd love to find some original dbz vhs tapes

The Castle of Cagliostro, which is the second Lupin III movie and first hayao miyazaki film

nothing else big like that, but a bunch of stuff i've never heard of before, so that's fun

The Devil is a Part Timer....

what is it
