Glen-i Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Oh great, KO'd my post right off of the page, gonna post it again, then hide the one on the previous page. Welp, it's time for another theme night. It's Rocket Propelled Galaga, right? There have been far too many RPG's being released over the past few months! I can't keep up with them all! So we're having a night with nothing but RPG characters! EDIT: The 3 Mii Fighters are also allowed tonight. OK, I know the first question, already. Why is Pokémon Trainer the only character from Pokémon? Well, the clarification for that decision is because you don't actually directly control Pokémon in that series, you control the trainer. You can make an argument for some Fire Emblem characters also falling into that (Lucina and Chrom), but I decided against that just so @BowserBasher would have to play 5 FE characters in a row if he went through the roster in order. Yes, I'm a scoundrel.

EDIT: The POW Block and Stopwatch are also part of the item list. Items here are ones that also appear in a RPG at some point. That said, if you're a nerd and notice one I've overlooked, feel free to point it out. Assist Trophies are the exception here, because what RPG's are mostly about is getting other party members to help you, so it fits in the theme. Now pay attention, this is important. The format is quite unorthodox. Format: Stamina, 300 HP, 1 StockFS Meter: On Yes, 1 stock, but you have a lot of HP to compensate. There's no extra lives in RPG's. Well, most of them. Tonight, 8pm.

At a glance, POW block and Stopwatch from the Mario RPGs or perhaps you've other reasons for not highlighting those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was wondering where the stop watch shows up, but thinking about it, that's also right. Although, I don't think the one in Smash is meant to be the one from SMB 2/Paper Mario, but it's close enough. I'll add them to the ruleset.

That's fair enough--I'm not certain what games Smash draws its items from. Maybe it says somewhere in-game? Can't believe you couldn't think up a Digimon theme. It could have done with a bit of the limelight what with Survive being kicked to the curb amidst the summer RPG releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have done with a bit of the limelight what with Survive being kicked to the curb amidst the summer RPG releases. That game has had such a rough development cycle. Delays all over the place, and then when it finally gets a date, Live A Live comes out a week before, and then Xenoblade 3 moves bloody forward! That series already has enough problems with Pokémon overshadowing it! Any other time, I would've bought it, but well. I'm not a Digimon fan, really. So it's hard to justify me buying it full price with so many other games. It's on my wishlist, mind, so when it inevitably goes on sale, I might bite. I was considering a Digimon theme, but I know nothing about the series, so I wouldn't even know where to begin other then "It's Namco's take on Pokémon". If you want, you can PM me a theme that you think best fits it, and I can use it in the future. Anyway, it's just dawned on me that I forgot to mention that all 3 Mii Fighters are allowed tonight.

BowserBasher Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Well that was a fun alternative. One mistake costing you to fall to your death ends your game. Also that night couldn't end any other day than it did. Hero (menu) fight, with me and @Glen-i getting and using Kamikaze to kill ourselves. Hope you are happy with that @Ike 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the offer of sending in a guest theme but I'm afraid it'd be the blind leading the blind with that one--all I remember is Digimon, digital monsters. Digimon are the champions! Yup, I only watched a handful of Digimon episodes before ditching it as a Pokémon knockoff. So by that logic, a Digimon theme would mirror a Pokémon theme night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowserBasher Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Fun times. @Ike I'm assuming your bit is knowing the fake smash ball but going after it anyway, just like me and @Glen-i can't resist a Kamikaze. (cause surely you must recognise the difference by now) Some great matches, and probably my most satisfying win in a long time with this match... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
