Ah, Assist Trophies...

I heard that, for the time being, Sakurai is "stalling" the actual new Character reveals with these particularly picked Assist Trophies/stages/Pokemon. Take Deoxys. Many people wanted it, but he discredited it early instead of waiting.
Same with Smashville. He discredited, say, Tom Nook early so that there wouldn't be a riot near the game's release.

Anywho, for Assist Trophies... I really don't know who to expect, but... possibly... could characters from the Mario universe, such as Cackletta or Fawful, actually make in there?
Or even Darunia or Saria from the Zelda games? And if Midna's not playable, possibly even her?
DK could have Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, all those guys... Yoshi could have, say, Boshi from Super Mario RPG.... Heck, even Smithy could make it as an Assist Trophy!

~~

WHOLLY...

And speaking of Assist Trophies... Today's chilling entry:

<???>

In this world...

...trophies fight.

They know nothing but fighting, as it is their sole reason for existing.

Being turned back into a trophy, being unable to fight, is much like death...
Those are the rules of this world.

But...

When someone... or something... breaks the rules of this world...

The world will pay...

...a terrible price...

Now... THAT was funny. You don't see humor like that very much nowadays. ^_^

I got a kick out of that. Can't wait for the next episode!

200.

OH NOEZ
IT IS THE CUCCO ARMY

Why do I always attack those mindless birds!!

"FAYYYYYYYYYY-TALITY!" Akira hears the announcer scream, and the surrounding crowd grows wild. There are many cheers for Avinash's surprisingly swift victory.

(That was pretty quick,) Akira thinks to himself as he watched the battle from the side lines with the other fighters. For some reason, Avinash looked very familiar...

As Avinash was approaching the waiting room, it finally struck Akira.
(Ah! That's right! This was the guy I saw booking a room at that Shadow Inn place before I got there. What do you know, I was actually able to see him in battle...)

"Next match! AKIRA versus BINAAAAAAAAAAAR!"

Hearing his name called, Akira's eye twitches. He hadn't expected to be picked out so soon.
(Well, I guess it's best just to get this over with.)
Akira cracks his knuckles, and heads for the arena.

* * *

The crowd is massive. They are as condensed as a huge can of tuna, yet show no signs of pulling away from such close contact. Its as if the entire crowd has fused into one giant, bloodthirsty creature, screaming for more rib-breaking action and the spilling of blood. It's quite eerie, really.
And having pushed herself to the front of this crowd is the ever-enthusiastic Misao, Akira's friend that was visiting from Tokyo to exclusively watch his matches.

As Akira takes center stage, he notices that the entire battling ground had been polished and cleaned before he arrived -- there is not so much as a strand of hair from the previous battle.
(The cleaners do a really quick job,) Akira thought to himself, pulling out his sword, and glancing behind him for the other fighter... "Binar". (I don't want to have to use this so early... Perhaps I should test my fists out first. The only practice I've had were some of my fighting buddies back home in Tokyo...) With that, he swiftly places his sword back in its holder, and awaits the rivaling fighter.

The onlookers are very intimidating. Though they are only here for the action, Akira can easily feel the pressure he is about to endure. He wants to test his strength, but at the same time put on a good show for the money these spectators paid for... Maybe this tournament idea was a bad idea.
Still waiting for his opponent, Akira takes a quick glance at Misao, who is only being held back by a sturdy brick wall, located about a dozen feet from the arena (enough space for a fighter to fall into without being seriously injured by the nearby wall).
Misao literally has her bosom pancaked against the wall, and is yelling and waving and smiling with all her might. She appears very excited, and encourages Akira to the best of her ability (even if her yelling and screaming are completely overtaken by the roar of the restless crowd). Akira waves to Misao anyway, and she jumps for joy (to the discontent of some nearby onlookers).

A few more minutes pass, and Binar still hasn't shown up. Akira, as well as the announcer and the rest of the crowd, are beginning to wonder where the fighter is.

"Binar!" the announcer shouts into his microphone. "Binar, if you are on campus, please report to the Battle Arena immediately, or you will be disqualified!"

(Could it be that he chickened out after watching Avinash's fight??) Akira wonders, leaning against a wall separating the Battle Arena from the inside of the building (where the waiting room is located). Feeling a little disheartened but strangely relieved, Akira continues to listen as the announcer's pleas seem to go unnoticed.

Roughly five minutes later, the calm and collected announcer puts the microphone to his lips once again. "You have 15 seconds to report to the Battle Arena, or you're out! 15!" The announcer beings his countdown. "14!"
(Oh, boy,) Akira thinks, standing up straight again. He gulps. (I wonder where that guy is...)
".13!..12!........11!"

The crowd starts to become agitated.

"10!"

The crowd suddenly hushes to a whisper.

"9!"

Even Misao is quiet now.

"8!"

Beads of sweat begin to form on Akira's forehead.

"7!"

He gulps again. What's going on??

"6!"

The announcer ruthlessly continues. He doesn't seem to mind at all that a fighter is about to be disqualified.

"Five!!"

The announcer shouts louder.

"Four!!"

Akira can feel his heart beating in anticipation.

"Three!!!"

The crowd's eyes widen.

"Two!!!!"

Akira holds his breath...

What do you MEAN you no habla espanol!?

Quote from Twistkill

Huh? There is no hostility here.

Secondly, that wasn't a joke, but it was the antithesis what she was aiming for - darker colors like black can actually make you look thinner, whereas lighter colors such as white can be more revealing. Hence why I do not like wearing white shirts.

Is that right. I've never noticed that before... I'll have to keep an eye on it.

As for the sig, nicely done... Simple, yet sufficient... though the text itself could have used a little more flavor to the mix.

Yes, definately a different style of gaming since Wind Waker... in my opinion.

Though I'll probably never play it (don't have so much as a PS to go by), I have heard some about it. An artist on Deviantart, she uses this style quite often with her work.... normally with her fusion of an "Okami-Suicune". It's very interesting.

Quote from Happy Mask Salesman

Well i'm leaving, for how long i dont know.

Take all the time you need. We'll be awaiting your return...

EDIT: Wait a second...

Since when did I reach 200 posts??
Hmm. Time just flies by nowadays...

You're not the only one. I'd rather duke it out with Sonic in Brawl anyday over racing Mario in the Olympics.

So far, we have 6 stages, and 14 known characters (5 newcomers: Wario, Zero-Suit Samus, Pit, Meta Knight, and Snake; and 9 veterans: Mario, Pikachu, Link, Kirby, Bowser, Zelda, Fox, Samus, and Donkey Kong). If there are 40 (or around 40) as speculated, we still have about... 26 more characters to go through. And if you include Ness, Yoshi, Jigglypuff, Luigi, and Captain Falcon (all but Yoshi from original roster), 21. Well. That's still quite a bit.

I expect something... new.

I have theorized that Meta Knight will be "revealed" next week, and Snake the week after that... After those two, we've got nothing but new characters.

The gov't? NEVER tells us anything. They figure us, being the humans we are, will freak out and only worsen situations. That might be so, but we still have the right to know whatever goes on. At least it'll shut us up. Ehh.

Anywho, good to hear you... survived the night.
And a power outage? I'd rather much have that than having my house torn apart.

Quote from Hector the Specter

I must admit I had a certain attachment to the Kokiri myself when I first played OoT. I mean they seemed so innocent and harmless and are a caring sort (with the exception of Mido, of course). I always thought Saria represented the common, caring Kokiri and she become very close to Link, I can't deny a good connection.

Ah, Mido... The first character in the game that I wanted to knock the lights out of. XD

As for Saria, I've always enjoyed the relationship she had with Link. And I felt pretty bad when she left off to be the Forest Sage, because you wouldn't see her anymore. She was like Navi, except a little more... considerate... with her timing. And you had the option to contact her for info.

-Yes, folks... Let's try to keep it on topic. We've got younger audiences to worry about, too.
(Caught me just at the right time... I was about to go into preaching mode. )

I really cannot decide between the races, especially those introduced in Ocarina of Time (Gerudos, Kokiri, Zora, etc.). I'm rather fond of all of them. The Gerudos have their strong points: they're powerful, and very organized. The Kokiri, they age yet don't age, kind of like a fountain of youth thing. Zoras, they're similar to the Gerudos, except aquatic and have a very neat design. The Sheikah are very mysterious, and held their own back in the day. And the Hylians... well, Link's a Hylian, as is Zelda. Must I go on about those two?

But, if I must, I would pick Kokiri. They were the first race I was ever introduced with in Ocarina of Time, and they're probably the most innocent beings to exist. Though not the most powerful, they tend to others (like Link), and have the Great Deku Tree.
Not the best reasons, but hey. I have a liking for them.

^ Wow, nice find there, Muigi. Finally, someone other than Peach! ...Wonder if they're somehow related, though. Blonde hair.

And that pic with Mario and the koopa shell underwater... Aren't those missles chasing him from Super Mario World? They appeared in one level, which was pretty hard to get to.

This work?

Not worry about it till 2011/2012 comes along.
If this were as important as it sounded, why doesn't the news cover it a bit more? This would be an apocalyptic scenario...

^ Funny, Hector.

Yes, I'm interested in playing her... just to see if it's worth trading in Samus's suit for ZSS. If she's like Sheik, then I'm definately okay with that. Sheik was always one of my better characters. None too strong, but could definately rack up percentage quickly.

Wow...! 4000 posts already? I just checked it this morning, and it said we still had about 200+ left till we hit 4000.

That's definately something. Keep this up, we'll have 5000 in no time. Hey, we may even reach 6000 by the end of the month!

I live by the coast, and I get plenty of those when strong storms pass by or a hurricane rolls in. X_X

Don't worry -- until you hear it howling outside your windows, or until your house starts shuddering like crazy, there's nothing to be concerned about.
And since you live in the mountains, you have a much better chance of being missed, definately.

Take it easy, right?

^ Yes, that was something I had heard, that Deoxys's ability of transforming would get in the way of his actual character... I suppose that was one of the main reasons he was made as a Pokeball Pkmn, despite his stated popularity.

I've heard that as well, with his other forms being Pokeball summons... Some even speculate that his "Basic" form will come later as actually playable, while his Speed/Attack/Defense forms will be in Pokeballs. Doesn't make much sense to me, but if it works out that way, I'll have no complaints.
Another theory is this: in his movie, there were two Deoxys, one with a green sphere, the other blue. The one in the pictures has a blue orb. Some say the green-chested one will be playable. Ehh.
