Doh. I blame the long work day for frying my brain and not seeing the update already noted. x_x

And no, Zelos is very much wanted by all the women in Tehthe'alla. Except by those he's actually interested, everyone else he just gets to do his work for him. Great character though.

dj, fyxe, that's in pretty poor taste. I'm already getting a bad impression of zero samus as fan service.

Fyxe I haven't once complained about Pit or said he was a bad choice. I've only been cynical towards the fangirling he's causing. Don't confuse the two. I know he's an excellent addition to the game as far as Nintendo characters go, it's just that my original point was from my point of view Kid Icarus is practically unheard of. Maybe where you are more people have played it or know what it is, but I had never even heard of it until I got the Pit trophie in Melee.

My Nook suggestion wasn't meant to be 100% serious, even though I was serious about how I think he would fight. But so what if he isn't the star of a game? Neither is Pichu. I wasn't suggesting Nook would be better than Pit either, just that I think he would be a clever addition to the Smash roster.

Honestly, I think you're so obsessed over Pit that you think every comment that doesn't boast his looks is bashing his presence.

The "Hoo-ah" comment about Samus was just a passing joke. I don't intend to dwell on Zero Suit Samus for anything other then pondering how she'll play.

yeah. I think zero samus will be a pretty cool character to play, but I don't remember nintendo using the spandexed woman tactic before.

on the same note, it is nintendo, so i'd be surprised if it was really intentional at all. I guess they wanted to have samus fight without the helmet and visor, and this was the only way they could do it. I don't think she looked like that on the GBA. :x

You haven't played much Metroid, have you?

Uh, don't blame us, I was just pointing out that the pictures on Nintendo's website are suggestive. And they are.

And there's nothing wrong with catgirl Samus. I've been all for Samus ever since Super Metroid, for cryin' out loud. Nothing to do with the Zero Suit.

Also, she has appeared in clothes *like* that ever since Metroid Fusion, although they were actually skimpier back then. The Zero Suit is modest compared to what she wore under the suit in Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion. And in Metroid and Metroid 2, even.



See? Anyway, the Zero Suit as it appears now has appeared in Zero Mission (obviously), Prime 2 and Hunters. It's nothing new.

Flint, you play as Samus in that suit (with that pistol of hers) for a long section of the game in Zero Mission, hence it's being called the 'Zero Suit'. Here's a sprite...

I'm in England, and I doubt more people played Kid Icarus over here. You did imply he was a bad choice because you said you liked Meta Knight and Wario but said the others... Weren't good choices. So... Meaning he was a bad choice.

Wario and Meta Knight are the only two of the new characters I find to be good choices.

See? Maybe you meant more on a *personal* level but that didn't seem clear, looked more like you were just saying that the other three choices were crap. Anyway, I liked Pit *before* he was a hottie because of Kid Icarus' role as a sister series to Metroid, and I didn't mention his hotness at all in the last few posts I've made. And why does it have to be 'fangirling'? Hm? Boys can find him attractive too, you know.

Polycrome, Snake is a fighter, not an object that comes outta boxes. >.> Also, Samus would kick Master Chief's ass and anyone who says otherwise is a numbskull. Samus is simply overpowered when it comes to asskicking. If Smash Brothers was based on a characters' true abilities, Samus would be winning constantly by blasting Plasma Beams and Super Missiles all over the place. The only character who would stand a chance, oddly enough, would be Kirby, I reckon.

no image...

[Kazi]

I've never played metroid before, and my first discovering who she was was in ssbm.

[Fyxe]

That was down to pallette issues. She had brown hair in the ending sequences. Neither of which ended up as her final hair colour.

Peach used to have red hair. And looked WEIRD.

D~N, here's that picture.



On another note, the pop-ups on vgmuseum are the worst pop-ups ever designed.

[DarkJuno]

I can do one better. Personally, I liked her look in Fusion the best.

Yeah, it's missing Echoes and Hunters, but it's an old pic from a few years back.

Yep, those are good pics.

[Fyxe]

Yes, I agree, her look in Super Metroid/Fusion is her best look. We could consider that her more 'modern' look, actually, as Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion are the last two games in the timeline.

So, it isn't until after the Prime series that she finally lets her hair down.

I'm aware that she wore that suit in the game. What I was referring to is the fact that it's a GBA game with a tiny little sprite. She doesn't appear all voluptuous and attractive in Zero Mission, seeing as how she was all of 100 pixels. so when Nintendo made her for Brawl, they pretty much recreated her.

But the game clear image tells a different story.

Sprite or not, she also appeared like that during cutscenes after she loses her suit, and yes, in the game clear image, and also at the end of Metroid Prime 2 and Hunters. The only new thing they've created is the whip function on her gun, which is a hell of a cool addition if you ask me.

You can't blame her or Nintendo for her appearing more attractive in 3D. Just be thankful she isn't wearing her Fusion outfit if you're so against characters being at all sexually attractive.

Please tell me you didn't complain about being able to see Peach's underwear in Melee. ¬.¬

[Flint]

being able to see Peach's underwear in Melee. ¬.¬

What version of melee do YOU have? o-O

Oh, and once again, i'm not complaining.

Edited by Flint, 28 May 2006 - 11:00 AM.

[Fyxe]

Uh, the one where you can easily see up her skirt whenever she does a kick, etc.?

[D~N]

Heh, who has an obnoxious friend that will play as Peach and pause EVERY time she kicks. I think we all do

again, that press-start-to-play comic is very apropriate here.

[Flint]

er, for some reason I was thinking of the more recent peach I saw a few days ago in Double Dash, you see nothing when peach boosts. I forgot Melee was different.

[Kazi]

this thread makes me sad. perverts, all of you. :< discussing i what games you can see peach's unmentionables? my goodness.

[Flint]

Unmentionables? You mean digital white leggings? The perverts are the one searching for things. But when peach's dress flies up on screen in the middle of the game, it no longer becomes a secret.

If you ask me, the only sad people are those who cannot accept (a discussion of) what is a part of the game. And "unmentionables"? It's a simple matter of realism, nothing more.

The perverts are the one searching for things.

Using that definition, I wonder just how many non-perverted gamers there are in the world.

I'm a pervert. I'm bisexual and I'm a size queen and I like furries.

I'M A PERV. The end, and I really, really don't care. XP

You really dun wanna know what a size queen is if you don't know... ¬.¬ And if you don't know what a furry is, gods help your innocent mind.

[Hana-Nezumi]

Umm, in Melee Peach doesn't have any leggings, she's wearing bloomers and the rest is bare. Zelda's the one with the pantyhose...

But yes, in Double Dash she has so much frill under her dress that you can't see anything. I remember the first time I went through the barrel cannon on DK Mountain and I was like "Whaaa- no panties? D:"

[Fyxe]

She has frilly stuff under there in most games, although in Mario Power Tennis, at least in Japan, she wears a thong. True dat.

Also, the more play of Kid Icarus on the Game Boy the more I believe that the stage we see at the start of the Brawl video is part of the Skyworld above the Overworld of Angel Land (aka Ancient Greece to you and me).
