Fallen Dimitri gave me more Turnwheel/Divine Pulse uses, allowing me more chances to rewind time and stop any crits from killing one of my units.

With Super Smash Bros being a series filled to the brim with a huge cast of playable characters both first-party and third-party, there's bound to be plenty of characters from IPs that people may not have heard of before playing Smash. Here are the video game franchises I was first introduced to through Super Smash Bros. Any series that isn't included on the bullet point list is one I had either seen or played before Smash Bros. Fire Emblem Metroid Kirby Star Fox Xenoblade Chronicles Pikmin Earthbound/Mother Ice Climber Duck Hunt Kid Icarus F-Zero Bayonetta Persona Dragon Quest Final Fantasy Metal Gear Solid Fatal Fury So, how many IPs represented in Super Smash Bros were your first introduction to the franchise? The only rule is that Smash had to be the first place where you had been exposed to a particular series.

Here's my personal selection of 16 fighters to add into a potential Smash 6. Waluigi (Super Mario) Noah (Xenoblade Chronicles 3) Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney) Tails (Sonic) Paper Mario (Paper Mario) One of the Gen 9 Pokémon Starters (Pokémon Scarlet/Violet). Preferably Sprigatito. The main character of the next mainline FE (Fire Emblem) Dante (Devil May Cry) Leon S. Kennedy (Resident Evil 2/4 design) Frank West (Dead Rising 1 design) Bomberman (Bomberman) Ezio Auditore (Assassin's Creed Brotherhood design) Kilik (Soul Calibur) Dixie Kong (Donkey Kong) Crash Bandicoot (Crash Bandicoot) Marcus (Gears of War 1-2 design) Pink Gold Peach (What do you mean there's a limit of 16 characters? Welp, looks like this one's never getting in...)

Welcome to the Forest of Serene, Moonspeak! Glad to have you here. I hope you enjoy your stay with us. I started with Three Houses and slowly started working my way backwards. I recommend that you give one of the newer Fire Emblem games a try if you haven't already. They're very much worth playing through, at least in my opinion. I'm positive that we'll get along great! Looking forward to seeing you around the different forums, my good man!

What a chad. He took the Conquest route and reaped all of the benefits out of it. Eat your heart out, Garon/Edelgard.

Granted. FE4 maps have now been shrunken down in size, making them far quicker to complete. However, in order to make up for this loss of time, FE4 now has an additional 12 chapters with little bearing on the plot whatsoever. Also, FE4 ends up being the same length as the original version anyways due to having doubled in chapter amount. Double Whammy! I wish I had a nice, cold Diet Pepsi beverage in my hand right about now...

Fellow Serenes Forest User: Use the Falchion.

What's the best video game crossover game (or even series) that you've ever played (Not counting Smash Bros)? Mine's Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. Apparently Nintendo and Sega thought that putting two mascots -Who were once fierce rivals at one point- along with other characters from their respective series into the Real-Life Olympics was a good idea (and it absolutely was), resulting in 6 games filled to the brim with Olympic events both real and "fake" (Dream Events, basically), trivia to expand the ol' brain, and even a story to play through! If you ask me, it doesn't get better than Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING (in a single crossover game before or since M&S), beats London Party mode on the Wii. It's the peak of the crossover franchise imo. My apologies for taking an entire week to respond. I've been meaning to reply to your question for a good few days now, but procrastination, life, and other things got in the way of that. With that out of the way, onto my response. I've played and beaten Dragon Quests 1-3 (Incidentally the only trilogy of DQ games that are fully connected) thanks to the games being ported to the Switch. I've also played Dragon Quest 11 S since that game is also on the Switch, but I haven't beaten it just yet (Though I've gotten very far). DQ11 is easily my favorite of the ones I've played due to the story, cast, and world that are presented in the game. It also helps that the game is a lot more lenient on the player compared to the older entries. Besides, you can't go wrong with that iconic Akira Toriyama art style that is also used in Dragon Ball/Z/GT/Super. I even called the hero of Dragon Quest 3 Goku for the lols for my playthrough of that game.

Banned because I remember the days when Sooksy here had that low-quality profile picture of Roland from Triangle Strategy. Why did he change such a classic and iconic pfp of Bargain Bin Dimitri into our main husbando man Shez? I'm not sure, though all of my credits are on the "I changed it because I felt like it" square.

Alright guys, let me see if I can find the meaning behind the mysterious Sidereal Wraith (Formerly known as WraithReborn). Sidereal: Of or with respect to the distant stars. Wraith: A ghost or ghostlike image of someone. So if my quick internet research hits the mark and I've got this right, then our dear Sidereal Wraith is a ghost of the stars (Not literally of course). What a twist. Now someone do one for me.

I just finished Chapter 1 of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 recently, so I figured I'd give my initial impressions on the game so far. I'm very impressed with what I've seen in the 5+ hours I've put into the game at the moment. Story's looking pretty solid, gameplay's still great, and the cast may just be my favorite in the series. But I'm getting ahead of myself, so I'll hold back on any in-depth opinions until I've gotten much further in the game. Suffice to say, I'm really enjoying the game so far. Also, huge thanks to the people who have been kind enough to hide any Xenoblade Chronicles 3 spoilers in those hidden content boxes. I truly appreciate it. Alas, I was not so lucky with games like Live a Live, PM:TTYD and Shadows of Valentia, but otherwise I've managed to go spoiler-free with games pretty well. What am I, chopped liver? (I jest) And CyberZord finally stopped procrastinating on discussing his initial thoughts on XC3 and got around to posting a reply about the game. To be fair, I don't see why anyone would want to level their characters down during the main campaign, even if it was a feature in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. It only seems to beget more level grinding and time investment. At least, that's how I see it. And here I am at a mere level 12 with my group. What kind of elites are you feeding your team? I must know your secret, lightcosmo.

A spiritual successor to Live A Live.

Procrastinate on a project until about 3 days before the deadline.

For me it was around the Summer of 2020 (Yes, really). I did know about the series' existence back in the days of Super Smash Bros. Brawl when Marth and Ike were the only representatives of FE, but I was interested in other Nintendo franchises + games at the time, so years had passed without any contact with the series. Not even Awakening or Smash 4 on Wii U/3DS was enough to interest me into buying one of the 3DS Fire Emblems. It wasn't until far later, specifically in 2020, when I would play my first Fire Emblem game and fall in love with the series. It wasn't until Byleth's release as DLC for Smash Ultimate that I had finally gotten curious enough about Fire Emblem to go out and buy one of the games in the series. I decided to buy Three Houses first since it was on Nintendo's newest system (at this current time), the Nintendo Switch. I fell in love with the game relatively quickly and played the hell out of it (I've got around 200+ hours in Three Houses at the time of posting this with 2/4 routes completed and most of route 3 finished. DLC has been purchased + I played through the DLC route to completion), making it one of the games on my Nintendo Switch with the most amount of hours invested. Now I did go back and play a good amount of the older Fire Emblem games such as Awakening, Fates, and Path of Radiance among others, so I can say with absolute certainty that I am most definitely a Fire Emblem Fan. But that's enough about me. Now it's time that I ask you, fellow Serenes Foresters, this question today: When did you become a fan of Fire Emblem and which game in the series made you a fan?

Depends on the flavor of comedian. I don't do Kid-Friendly. Mature's more my style, but only if you let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Dark-Humor's too strong for my tastes. There's also Ventriloquist(s), but they're always taken. If the ocean can be qualified as a soup, then where's the bowl to store all of this "soup" lying around on the Earth?

Isn't CyberZord (When will the madlad play NES Shadow Dragon on his Switch? I don't know either.)

I made a gaffe in Path of Radiance rather recently, so I figured I'd add it in this thread because it is very gaffe-worthy (and I love to share my shame with the Forest). In Chapter 13 of PoR where you're defending the ship from Norris and his group (plus some Raven laguz to make the defense a bit tougher), I was doing very well for most of the chapter (Outside of Astrid getting herself killed before I could recruit her, but eh... Ike's team is good enough as it is, so I didn't reset), taking out the enemies with strong units like Titania, Oscar-who I had promoted to a Paladin-, Warrior Boyd, and Lethe + Mordecai. The rest of the team I had in battle stayed back and guarded the ship from being seized. I even took out Norris with relative ease, so everything had seemed to be going very well... Until I took Mist off of the super important green-you have to guard this tile with your very life-square and one of those Raven pricks moved straight onto the aforementioned green tile and caused me to lose the chapter. It was not fun re-doing the entire chapter while making sure to not move one of my units off the green square on the next attempt. But Astrid got killed on the very first Ally Phase turn so... Nothing new, and I still didn't reset (It's her fault for being such a squishy green unit and going to the enemy instead of Ike) because I have faith in my team and don't need anymore pesky recruits forcing me to bench somebody else.

I have a bad habit of going on long tangents whenever there's a subject being discussed that I'm really interested in (Even if it's not related to the thread's topic). I like to go in detail, so I won't be stopping my (sometimes) essay-long discussions anytime soon. Thanks for the concern, though. I appreciate it. I've never played Final Fantasy and I've always favored Dragon Quest over it, so I can't really say much about it. The only Bomberman game I've played is Super Bomberman R, which I thought was pretty alright. Looking forward to playing Super Bomberman R 2 on Switch when it comes out. I usually befriend outgoing, loyal and nice people as they tend to be fun to hang around with. Bonus points if we share some similar interests. I generally avoid rude, overly vain, and petty people, on the other hand. Not people I like being around, to be honest. Here's my question: What are your thoughts on the "Big 3" (Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft), the consoles they produce, and the games they allow/put on their systems?
