SSB4: SSB for Wii U and 3DS, maybe the NX and also your toaster!

I find it a bit disturbing people want to discredit a ten year old girl to begin with.

It was a publicity hoax by Gamestop. They had a top level player behind the scenes playing for her while she was up-front. It's really disappointing for the community in general, as we were exited to see a really good young player. (It would be really cool if this wasn't a hoax though)

I don't think that's the situation. It was suspicious, so people looked into it. If she was legit and people tried to downplay it in some stupid way, that would be different.

[Anacybele]

Yeah, that's a really terrible trick to play on people. I'm surprised any GameStop did something like this. I've always been a fan of the chain because a vast majority of the stores I went to had nice and helpful employees and a great selection of games and stuff available. This is sickening.

Dang, if only Karissa were truly that good. It would've been so cute too!

Just a little innocent looking girl, then BAM kick your ass! It would've been a good sight. And she looks so sweet! If she was truly that good, I would've enjoyed seeing her beating the crap out of others.

I wouldn't be surprised if the professional Smasher behind the scenes was Mew2King. (Simply because he's one of the best Smashers interested in Smash 4, so I could see him schooling everyone like this)

yeah i already knew about that... just now, i decided to look into things, and it seems m2k was in socal at the time, which also happens to be where tyrant lives at, iirc from the stupid amount of brawl matches i've watched. it's also m2k's playstyle. the brief running shields, ALWAYS, banana > down throw > up air. (his thought process is to always pick the best option) ...ugh, you can't trust anybody...

ugh, maybe i didn't have it, but it's a fun mystery. :>

hmmm i really hope you are right in that case. You never know these days. Everyone wants to smear someone and all that. Either way, its pretty gross. Why would they do that? Why? Its teaching people to be suspicious. So now, people WILL seek to discredit a ten year old girl if she's legit. Ugh

Mhm, probably was. IIRC M2K uses Sheik and Diddy in Smash 4. I could see it being ZeRo too, though.

I, for one, don't understand why people are getting so up in arms about it, though. It was just a fun little publicity stunt. What's the big deal?

iunno, m2k was at a tourny in Wisconsin this weekend, and the gamestop was in california...

They probably feel like its hella dishonest and stuff. Honestly though, i think people were annoyed that a ten year old kid looked that good. :/

Also, its all the rage to be outraged and offended. Didnt you get the memo? B:

[Anacybele]

Yeah, what Loki/Florina said. It's really dishonest.

[Mighty Kamina]

One of the things that really bothered some people is that D1 (a pretty popular member of the Smash community) may have had some part to do in this.

Eh. I just see it as a bit of a joke. The people getting upset about it sound to me like they can't take a joke. Just me, I guess.

It would be totally awesome if the whole thing was legit, though. Seeing a ten-year-old girl wreck people in Smash Bros. would be the ultimate.

Also, Robin is more of a main character than Micaiah is and Micaiah is still a main character anyway. Unlike Micaiah, Robin is used in every chapter and can deal the final blow to the Endgame boss. :P

I know I'm late on this, but I'd argue that Micaiah is more of a main character than Robin on the basis that Micaiah is forced in every chapter where she's usable whereas Robin's only forced in one chapter. The nature of FE10 and FE13 and how the party is set up are quite different, so it's not quite accurate to compare them in a similar manner. Otherwise, by your logic, Chrom and Robin are more of main characters than Ike in FE10, since Ike isn't used in every chapter.

While I'm mostly apathetic on both Chrom and Lucina (although if I'm honest I still have some issues with Lucina), I do think that SSB4 is pissing on Chrom too much. It's like, okay we get it, Chrom's not in the game and he would've been less unique than Robin. But he's far from a joke, and he is sort of the main lord of the game that saved the freakin' series. So … I have issue with things like Robin's Guidance. I didn't even like Chrom until SSB4 made him into such a memetic joke, now I like him a bit more just because I feel sorry for him.

Also, I heard that a 10-year-old girl beat some top west coast players in a tournament on gamefaqs, but never really bothered to follow up on it ;/

[Anacybele]

Whoa, that's nuts. XD I can't wait to do fun stuff like that in the Wii U version!

Just 11 more days... *drools*

this would have been the best thing on the internet if they all stopped for a moment to taunt.

[Ein]

I was hoping they'd all just taunt too. Constantly.

i almost got a sacred combo with falcon... if only i'd reversed the falcon punch...

… My Smash 4 cartridge just bugged out and deleted everything except for my screenshots.

Which means that I basically lost all unlockable characters, all of my replays (I'm SERIOUSLY UPSET about this one), all my records, challenges, and achievements.

I don't understand what happened, I've been playing Smash 4 all day with my friends just earlier today, and it just randomly died for no reason. I doubt I have the motivation to redo everything I've already done, AND I'm really mad at losing my replays. Like … is there ANY way to recover corrupted data or is it just plain gone?

[Nova]

I really don't understand how Yoshi could beat Kirby to the title of "Omnivore of the year".

[Silent Letters]

Clearly, it's the Omnivore Year of Yoshi. Every other year it's all about Kirby.
