AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA oh boy

Well so long as Pikachu is in it, I'll be happy. :U I'm hoping they keep Lyndis out of it, though. I know people wanted her in it, but reaaaaaallly I don't. For entirely selfish reasons.

*crosses fingers for Ike retention*

... alternatively, Micaiah could be cool.

I have a feeling that their chances are simmer this time than the last though.

I NEED A 3DS LIKE YESTERDAY.

I'm personally waiting for wank about ZOMG BRING ROY BAAAAAAAACK and clone wank and all that crap.

all I know is Marth better be in it or else.

[myaru.livejournal.com]

Screw Roy and Ike, I like Raphi's idea: give me Ephraim. I'd play that. Ohhhh yeah.

...I need a 3DS, man.

It's sad that the first thing that comes to mind upon the announcement of a new SSB game is "drama." :/

I say F all the malcontents out there ("Melee is so much better balanceddd than Brawl!", "no wavedashing now waah", etc.); I just want to play the game. :D

[mark-asphodel.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I was all giddy-happy for a while before the reality of SSB-drama sank in.

The roster speculation drama.

The roster revelation drama.

The roster second-guessing drama and protests.

And then, tier lists...

[mark-asphodel.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I'd... er... PLAY that.

:D

Given there was no mention of FE12 or any reference to an upcoming FE13 at E3, I have to wonder if the franchise will even get two reps this time around.

[mark-asphodel.livejournal.com]

PIKA!

PIKA!

CHUUUUUUUUU!!!

Yeah, and Jigglypuff.

I know people wanted her in it, but reaaaaaallly I don't.

I think I know where you're coming from, there.

[mark-asphodel.livejournal.com]

KrystalWank has already begun. Brace yourselves.

all I know is Marth better be in it or else

If anyone from Fire Emblem is in it, it's gonna be Marth. But with our luck, this iteration is likely to be nerfed to all hell... and dubbed.

[r-amythest.livejournal.com]

Fortunately, I think the lack of precedent for any franchise being downsized helps us out a little.

[sailorvfan10.livejournal.com]

Where has KrystalWank begun so I can run away from those places like they're on fire? (Which, by this point in time, very well might be on fire?)

and dubbed.
. . .

that is my worst nightmare.

[sailorvfan10.livejournal.com]

And then, tier lists...
oh god tier wank

[r-amythest.livejournal.com]

Tier lists are legitimately useful to the 0.5% of Smashers who know exactly what they're for and how they apply.

[mark-asphodel.livejournal.com]

GameFaqs. Where else?

I also wonder if the 3DS and Wii U titles will have different rosters... and if the 3DS crowd might not have spoken dialogue (just grunts and screams).

[mark-asphodel.livejournal.com]

I don't mind tier lists. I mind WANK over tier lists.

[sailorvfan10.livejournal.com]

Of course -_- Good thing I don't go there often.

If the 3DS version has Marth, I will be happy. :D

if Marth is dubbed, well. Uh. I might cry. Even if it's just grunts and stuff. I WILL HEAR THE DIFFERENCE.

The sad part is that most people who argue mindlessly for or against tiers ("tiers are the only way to judge one's self worth!" vs "TIERZ R 4 QUEERZ LUL") are the people for whom the notion of tiering will never, ever apply. From everything I've gathered, tiering is a way to predict relative success of a match-up between players of equal skill playing different characters. The end result, of course, being that casual players like, for example, myself have little reason to worry about tiers at all, as even a moderate skill gap can result in a win using a "low-tier" character against someone even of Meta Knight's caliber. (I have so much fun laying the smack down with Ganondorf XP)

In other words, WORD to what both of you said.
