I deleted Smashchu's post - the first victim of my axe. DiU's post is quite right - this is a really, really stupid topic that has contributed nothing to the discussion about the game. DiU summarised this topic particularly well, and Smashchu's (now deleted) post was inflammatory and wrong. Smashchu - you might be the second biggest poster on this forum, but your aggressive tone is way out of line, and I am keeping a close eye on your behaviour. Your right in the second paragraph, but I felt my point was valid. It annoys the heck out of me when someone post just for the sake of complaining about a topic. Rather then complain, DiU could have added a new point to the topic. Instead, he complains saying it's the worst post on the board. But if it is, why post there. In that sense, it's flame bait to begin with. I might be arrogant, but I felt he was in the wrong. My point is that if your going to post, make it worth while. Or, at least be part of a conversation. I felt that DiU's post was just "Topic sucks, gg no re", and it annoys me when someone post JUST to say they dislike they topic which can only do more to derail it. I'll apologize on how I came off (....sorry), but I felt the point was valid. Don't post in a topic if you don't like it. That should be common sense. (I'll try to work on it, and sorry if this was mean) |

I'm for supporting the character, and I think there is nothing wrong (well, maybe some a smaller message board like this). I think we need the final roster so the debates can stop. I like them personally, but I will admit, it's old. Maybe I should just make one, big topic. |

I'll also admit that I've taken to posting less frequently because I felt as if I were only contributing to problems instead of resolving them...I feel like the wait is making me go batshit insane too. Oops. |

Peppy needs to be playable because we don't have enough old people in smash. Who's With Me?
Were lucky it took that long for the Admin Axe to start swinging.
I agree with DiU's first point that any of the two sides of the argument can be summed up as being the same.
Better for Square Support, Let me dress my Mii up like generic FF job characters and play as that. ;D

DiU contributed a very valuable point to this topic - and that was everyone so far is talking a load of old balls. He summarised the two arguments to show how balls they were. This topic is exactly the kind of daft speculation that I always hoped this forum would never fall prey to. But, of course, speculation is just an unconfirmed idea, floating around in limbo until THE GAME IS RELEASED. I am happy speculating on Takamaru's inclusion, Parrothead on Demille's, and so on. I don't mind people speculating on anybody so long as it's interesting. This topic started with Flip posting a blog (now deleted) and a fansite's flawed speculation about copyrights. If you want an explanation for that, by the way, the developer behind Xenogears and Xenosaga is now a wholly owned Nintendo subsidiary, completely blowing that already-dodgy argument out of the water. So where does that leave us? Bickering about how important a character Geno is. Well, he isn't an important character. He has a playable role in a single Mario game, and a cameo in another. Presumably he is part-owned by Square-Enix, whose involvement is far from confirmed. He was highly rated on the poll, but as we've seen from both Melee and Brawl, the poll isn't Gospel Truth! That is all that needs to be said, and all that can be said. Speculate on how Geno could work. Speculate on reasons he might be in (actually, don't do that - they've been covered already). But DO NOT argue endlessly about Geno as if his inclusion depended on the outcome of the debate. And DO NOT start saying horrible things about people. If it's against any kind of forum rule, I will deal with it. That is not your job. Your job is to entertain me!  |

When gender graphical diferences were announced and no Machoke sprites had been shown, I though they were going to have breasts and use tops. Fry's comment made me picture him like this guy, though. |

I'll also admit that I've taken to posting less frequently because I felt as if I were only contributing to problems instead of resolving them...I feel like the wait is making me go bathobo insane too. Oops.I think too many people clump debate with a bad thing. it's not. It's fine to debate, and can be fun. I had no problem with the debate as it was, and more point were said then what DiU said (the topic was shifting a lot. If you read it, you'll see there was a lot more then the few points). Which is why I got irate. A lot of arguments are going to throw the same points around. It should (to some degree). You develop main points and try to build on those with evidence to strengthen them. You should be able to summarize the points into a few sentences, but that misses the bulk, thus why we debate (or part of it at least). Thus, we call it an outline. The points will, somewhat, go back and forth. A real debate will do that. Throwing around the points, but trying to build on them each time. Remember, few strong points are better then many smaller points. If you really want to contribute, and make a good debate, then add either a new point or expand on something you already said. Also, keep in mind that there isn't going to be many varied points for any of these arguments, not the Geno one in particular. As I've mentioned before, there isn't much backing for the arguments. So, if you add a little, you add a lot. A bit off, but I want to say don't down play the poll. It may not be Gospel Truth but, like Melee, the highest ranking characters have a VERY good chance to make it into the game. |
