Cobra Unit spinoff?

I really don't understand why they took the path they did with Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz. For the first half of the movie (and the entirety of the movie when I first watched it in Japanese), I just assumed they were leftover Sephiroth "clones" that avoided death at the Northern Crater. Hell, that would have made way more sense. Clones in the game carried Jenova's head and were able to mimic Sephiroth. Kadaj absorbs Jenova's head and becomes Sephiroth. The whole "remnant" business was pure silliness. Then again, I stand almost completely alone in my enthusiasm for Dirge of Cerberus. While the gameplay mechanics could have used a lot more finesse, I felt the story was rather original and intriguing, unlike Advent Children.

I was really enjoying SO3 until that really lame (IMHO) plot twist about 2/3 of the way through the game, right when it was picking up a little bit of speed. SO2 was great, although I never finished it Hopefully this new installment won't shit out some half-assed wannabe existential matrix storyline.

Maybe not quite what you're going for, but this fucked with me nonetheless. I had a mild panic attack when visiting my family once during my little sister's party. They were playing Guitar Hero and one of the little dipshits got the whammy bar stuck so that "When You Were Young" was being played on one guitar an entire half step down the whole song. I found this shit so unnerving that, combined with being yelled at and trying to talk on the phone at the same time with a bunch of loud ass 16 year old girls in the background, I started to freak the fuck out.

At least they put an end to the stubborn "Slyer eats peoples brainS!!1!" fuckers. I always figured he took powers by observing a brain as he would a watch, but yeah, that makes no sense on a genetic level. I'm probably just a little harsher on the bullshit science reasoning since I study science and genetics, though.

Yup. It must be from hanging around with Mohinder, who went from a somewhat Apu-ish Indian accent to a British accent to passable Harvard-esque English. I'm also wondering where she buys all her expensive clothes from, and how she avoids being deported...

Hmmm, I clicked on this topic expecting to see a lot more criticism and harshness directed towards the show. I personally thought the two new episodes were chock full of cliches and unoriginality. Admittedly, a show about people with mutant powers can't really create a plot without having it parallel some existing plot (Peter = Bishop, Mohinder = Hank McCoy), but still... Oh, and I love how the writers pretty much crapped all over what little semblance of believable science the show had with Mohinder's new discovery. "It's not in the DNA, its in the adrenaline!!!" Oh boy...

I think that fucker wears eyeliner in every single movie/show he's in (Lost City, Cane, Lost, Smoking Aces) and it's almost always out of place. My only gripe with the movie, and a little one at that, was the seemingly pointless inclusion of Scarecrow at the beginning. His behavior made no sense, and it was a waste of a decent character/actor.

I got Sonic long before 300 matches. He just randomly appeared as a challenger after a vs match, but it couldn't have been greater than the 60th match played. Something about distance, maybe?

I could be wrong, but I think Crisis Core focuses on the events in the years BEFORE Zack goes to Nibelheim with Cloud and Sephiroth. Look for the FFVII: Last Order OVA if you want to see what happened after the Nibelheim incident.

But if he had been stopped, he'd just become a complete limpwrist.... seems to be the trend at least.

What is Sakurai referring to as "Kirby's wing ability?" Is he talking about Superstar?

....... Bramble Blast Music?!!!!! And Stage Creator?!!!!!!

Given, it would be a pretty big stretch, but she DID give her life/soul to save Midna about halfway through TP. I dunno... I just can't see Midna as a character on her own, as much as I'd like to.

I wouldn't count out seeing Midna as Zelda's down B. If they go with the TP vibe, Zelda's alternate identity (assuming she has one) will either be a very touched-up Sheik, Midna, Cloaked Zelda, or Zelda w/sword. I hope she still has a transformation. As far as other female characters go, the fanboy side of me wants to see Celes Chere (FF6) or Sheena Fujibayashi (ToS).

Are you fucking kidding me? I'd given up hope on this one. I sure as shit wouldn't make him the same weight class as Bowser though. Fuck, is he gonna be able to fly? This renews the hope that was extinguished with the DK video that K. Rool might make an appearance too

I'm pretty sure that rumor got spread due to a fake trailer that my roommate was convinced was real.

Well, if Sakurai's gotten bored of the OCR boards and been looking over at GameFAQs, I wouldn't count this one out yet... Didn't Master and Crazy have a hand emblem in Melee? If so, that could be icon 13, possibly even 19.

If that happened, I would cease all bitching about this game, even about it's delay.

These updates and newly revealed concepts are quickly losing momentum.

The first thing I thought when I read this was that equippables would play a role in the game. Different costumes, different weapons, all possibly affecting character stats. This game has enough RPG elements in it already; it would make sense.

I guess this puts to rest the idea that no new characters would be placed on the characters page in order to keep it symmetrical. That being said, Lucas' moves look different from Ness'. I'm gonna go with the "Ness is an unlockable character" idea.

Well, seems safe to say that Dr. Stewart won't be a playable character. Again.

Seconded! Moar Tales chars plz. Although I think Regal would make a much more interesting character.

YESSS!!! The Climbers didn't get the axe!!!
