    Speaking as someone who actually participated in high school band for four years, these performances are not long. Ten minutes at most. I would say that part was given its due attention.

    I love this, because people often say that part 3 is great and part 4 is where things fall apart. People who don't like the story can't even agree on what is good and what is bad.
  3. Florete
    It is a rule. Such avatars are removed when spotted.

    I have no gripes with the plot and I find most people's complaints to be overreacting or completely unfounded. But that's just me.

    Inevitable? I'd be very surprised if we got a Wii U FE. They've already announced their next console. There's nothing particularly special they can do only on the Wii U with FE, it's selling well on the 3DS, and the Wii U is looking to end its life soon. The series is bigger now, but it's still not exactly one of their heaviest hitters. FE on NX? Sure, maybe. Wii U? Doubtful.

    UFO?

    I always thought A Christmas Story was crap, even before I knew how many people liked it. The title alone makes it sound generic and boring. Anyway, while I do my best not to let it, too much hype can definitely have a negative effect on enjoyment. I hate the idea of not liking something just because a lot of others do like it, but it's hard to get those expectations out of your head when going into something for the first time. However, I think there's little to no excuse for post-experience backlash. That is, if you saw a movie on opening night and loved it, then it became a mega hit and you ended up hating it as a result, what the hell is wrong with you? Even if you think it's getting more attention than it deserves and you find that annoying, shitting on something literally just because it's popular is dumb.

    I avoided any and all spoilers in the pre-Awakening days, so I figured this time around would be fine. I was very, very wrong. I didn't realize how different the context is. Sure, Awakening made the series popular, but it needed to come out worldwide for that to happen. For Fates, that fanbase is already here. I'm avoiding as much as I can while sticking around the forums (being a mod and all). Some people aren't making it easy. Many users aren't very considerate as to what others might consider spoilers (don't use an avatar of an unrevealed character, damn it!). In a way, it makes the long wait a good thing. Hopefully anything that gets accidentally spoiled in the initial release hype I'll forget by the time I get the game.

    Now the question is (and always has been): why do they hate customs? I honestly see no reason for it other than the unlocking bit, but that's mostly been solved as far as tournament use is concerned.
  10. Florete
    Are you sure about US players not liking them? I was under the impression customs were mostly supported outside Japan. The fact that they're being used at EVO at all should definitely say something. And while certain things could use fixing, customs have gotten tweaks in patches. If they eventually die out, I'll probably just stop watching. I'm already sick of Melee because I feel like it's always the same thing nowadays, and Smash 4 will likely end up the same without customs unless balance patches do enough to change things up. They've helped somewhat, but the meta-game hasn't actually changed a whole lot compared to what customs allow for.

    What? Sonic hasn't gotten nearly as many nerfs as Diddy. And Rosalina hasn't been buffed since, like...ever, I think. Her nerfs have been fairly small, but I don't think she's ever been buffed, except for about 5 Luma HP. Is there a joke I missed there?

    Some people want to know as little as possible. They want to be surprised and see all the new things the game has to offer. While you may think little of it, having an avatar of a character that wasn't publicly shown ruins some of the surprise. I happen to be one of these people, and I've had to be extremely cautious around the forums for the past few days because people don't think enough about what others might consider spoilers. I don't want to see anything I didn't see before the game was leaked, even if it's just a portrait of a side character. I'm also a global mod, so I'm in a tight space where I want to see as little as possible but have a responsibility to look out for things as well. I'd appreciate if people didn't make this any harder than it's already been.

    If the specific character was revealed before the game's release, it's not a spoiler. Otherwise, it is a spoiler.

    From votes recorded by people on Reddit, yes, he was a popular choice. My point is that is not very indicative of everyone who will end up voting.
  15. Florete
    He certainly has a better chance than he would on his own, but by "fanservice" I'm expecting ballot choices, and the online Smash community isn't going to be where all the submissions come from.
  16. Florete
    I just want Dixie and Wolf and Ice Climbers. Anyone else is a bonus. Well, I also want Anna, but I consider her chances too low to worry about. I also don't expect Isaac to make it. His popularity is largely just within the Smash community, and unlike Roy, he doesn't have veteran status to back him up (no, being an assist trophy doesn't count). Wolf should be a safe guess. If a character is chosen purely on votes, K. Rool is probably coming. After that, I can't really say. No Shovel Knight, though.

    I have some fears, but I think you're seriously overreacting. The same-sex thing only came out a few days ago, and it's still the latest piece of news that doesn't involve having the game. Obviously it's going to be the current subject for the game. I don't know about incest, but death? That's literally been a selling point of the series for its entire existence...this game (these games?) will not be rated M unless NoA decides to put a ton of swearing in. As for the dual releases, we'll just have to see how that holds up over here.

    "Only several" sounds like an oxymoron...but okay, cool. So what? So they can't use Falco's new shine like they did in Melee? Deal with it. Surely they can find other uses for it. That's the damn point of it being a different game. No one ever used Marth's shield breaker in Melee, anyway.
  19. Florete
    The one thing I really don't like about PM is over-Meleeified everything is. I get wanting similar mechanics to Melee, but things like re-cloning Falco, changing Marth's shield-breaker back to a slash from a stab...that kind of stuff is useless and just panders to Melee elitists. I'd much prefer it if they gave it Melee mechanics but otherwise left what makes it different.
  20. Florete
    I don't miss these games because I still have them.
  21. Florete
    Some may consider it a spoiler, so I won't. Anyone who really cares to know will definitely find out, anyway.
  22. Florete
    Limited, but damn it, I'll take it. In fact, it even works with my plan. Assuming it's one character of each gender, I was most likely going to avoid it in my first run anyway, which will be Nohr, but go for it in my second run, which will be Hoshido. And yes, playing female both times.
  23. Florete
    Editing that title a bit just to be safe. Despite my terrible allergies to spoilers, I decided to come here, and I don't regret it. Not exactly perfect, but from the sound of it, it does look like a good step in the right direction! Wait wait wait...That link says "the protagonist can only achieve A with other same-sex characters." Does that seriously mean the player is the only one locked out of these A+ supports <_<?
  24. Florete
    Well, this changes...absolutely nothing, actually. People are only people. Just because the hero of old was male and the people made traditions based off that doesn't mean the hero can't be reincarnated in a girl. Same goes for Zelda since Ganon, powerful as he may be, is not a god.

    I didn't say Saints Row because I've played those games using that voice and I don't recognize any of those voice clips. I did not know what it was actually from.
