Y hallo thar, young one...

I see you've become a regular contributer. Welcome to SmashWiki! (Like above) And keep up the work. (Jus' felt like talking. (Oh, and I'm TBB, and I like... to... do... Stuff!*cough*_{iliketopwnpeople}*cough*) Anyways, hi! ~Teh Blue Blur~^{~You're too slow!~} 09:53, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

"Young one"? This from someone whose profile clearly states that they're minus two months old? Anyway, thanks, and "hi!" back. Oh, and call me PoD. Penguin sounds... like a Batman villain... PenguinofDeath 15:21, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I get'cha. The "young one" part was kinda a joke. Well, if you think about it, you're kinda new here, so I guess that does kinda make some sense. ~Teh Blue Blur~^{~You're too slow!~} 17:27, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Just curious

Okay, I looked at your comment on the Smash Arena which raised a question for me: What's your opinion of a "good" game? I mean, are you aware that Super Mario Galaxy sold over 8 million copies and every Publication review (like GameSpot, GameSpy, GamesRader, Edge, Allgame, etc.) gave it at least 90% on the score? If that's not a good game, I don't know what is, so I'm just curious as to what your opinion of a "good" game is. Enigmatic Mr. L (talk) 21:40, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

You presumed that I was being objective. I wasn't, I simply don't like any of the recent Mario games. Take Super Mario Sunshine, for example. <opinion> That had no plot whatsoever, and the height of gameplay was going round with F.L.U.D.D. cleaning up graffiti. Mario64, though I didn't especially like the style of gameplay in that either, was at least slightly better. It was also one of the first two games to be in 3D (the other being The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and they were in 2.5D but whatever), but it looks pretty much the same as all the games that came after it. Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Sunshine have the same old gameplay (roughly), so look like cheap sequels. Evolution of gameplay is what makes games great. For example: the Legend of Zelda series; the Age of Empires series (except AoE III and the expansions because they had way too much new stuff in them); Sid Meier's Civilisation series; of course, the Super Smash Bros. series. If there's no originality in a game, it's not a good game, it's an old game. Unless it's shamelessly a continuation, like Golden Sun: The Lost Age which wasn't as good as Golden Sun but which was still an amazing game even though it had identical gameplay. However, if they were to release Golden Sun 3, Golden Sun 4 and Golden Sun 5 at any point, the gameplay would have to change or no one would be buying by the time Golden Sun 5 came out. </opinion>

That was kinda rambling... Meh. I think I got my point(s) across. Your turn. PenguinofDeath 22:09, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Ouch, big comment. ~Teh Blue Blur~^{~You're too slow!~} 17:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Defiant Elements won't think it's a big comment... :'( He writes big comments.

The thought occurs, TBB, that you haven't yet voiced your opinion (which would be valued highly) on my RfR... PenguinofDeath 17:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

You're actually incorrect about SMG. It retains the gameplay from SM64, and adds new elements like different powerups (except Fire Mario, although it's the first time it's been in 3D), a different spin jump, new enemies, etc. But that's not the reason I'm here. I apologize for not replying to your comment earlier, but I couldn't edit this Wiki for some reason, something to do with maintenance? Anyways, I already had my reply done: The IPs are sockpuppets, meaning that they are all the same person. I reverted that guy's edits sometime last year, and he said he wanted to Brawl me. I told him I would with a condition that if I win, he'd stop vandalizing. I recommended he tried making useful edits after I beat him, but the guy's an idiot. He doesn't know what useful is, or he's just nothing but a vandal. Anyways, he just won't stop, and keeps telling me when he's made an edit or that he wants to Brawl (I deleted him quite a while ago, so I have no interest whatsoever in brawling him). The users I know have gotten used to it and just revert his edits and block him. As for people that vandalize my Userpage, well, that happens to everybody. I hope that answers your question.

New elements like powerups, jumps and enemies don't really count... Like Twilight Princess was largely a remake of Ocarina of Time even though most of the characters and the specific plot (but not the general plot) had been changed. But yeah, I now kinda take it back. I've been told that he's been in lots of good games, and that I was being horribly subjective, even for a forum page...

One game series that didn't get better as they went along, simply because they added too much extra stuff, is the Pokémon series. They should do a remake of Red/Blue for the Wii, but make it a 3D world that you can walk about freely in. Of course Pokémon battles would have to still be random, and you'd still get no warning before one started. But only if they had the original 151 Pokémon (you'd unlock Mew by catching every other Pokémon), and only if you could catch every Pokémon in every game. And you could use the Wi-Fi for the linked battles. It would be the greatest game ever. And I will demand a fortune in royalties if they make it. PenguinofDeath 22:25, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Can't blame the guy

Don't blame developers for giving Sonic little to no finishing moves. They had to balance his speed to power. He still has Super Sonic :D

Brawling?

I read that you like people who can't beat you with three fingers BUT can ask you nicely. Thus, do you want to? FC: 1247-5080-9379 Nickname:KAKE Chocolatepie (talk) 18:44, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm really sorry, but my Wii's occupied at the moment. My dad recently discovered Anno, which is like a cross between Age of Empires and Civilisation, and he spends a lot of time playing that. I haven't brawled for about a week now... I'll get back to you. If I can't get on today (UTC), I'll definitely be free between about 08:00 and 11:00 UTC tomorrow. Will you be free then?
