time to peel the scab... I still can't beleive doctor mario and Dark pit are their own characters .. f#%$&...

..will ...we ...ever see... Icy's?

I feel you man. So bring back Doctor Mario instead of buffing Mario anymore? Yeah that's a brilliant idea. My firends also say this about Dark Pit and how they could do without him.

I still can't beleive doctor mario and Dark pit are their own characters .. f#%$&...

What are you even talking about? Mario got huge buffs.

hey guys i need some help


My cousin's birthday is a bit before the release of Smash and I told him I'd be giving him his birthday present a bit late, he hasn't put two and two together yet. He's gonna be 12 so keep that in mind.

He has been playing SSB since like, 3. He played every installment so far and I decided I'd get him Smash as a birthday present without him knowing.

My aunt and I are both getting a copy of the game as well to play with him as soon as he gets it; we don't intend to open the games until he's around so we can play it together.

We're not sure what to do. Should we unlock the characters for him? He knows the entire roster anyways (he looked at the leak the day it was posted) and so unlocking him wouldn't be SURPRISE FACTOR, but unlocking characters feels achieving. And on top of that, it kinda ruins the "everyone starts at the same time" thing. It's practically beating the game for him. We'll probably be playing it a ton anyways.

At the same time, though, we might wanna get on with the game since we all like the look of Dark Pit and Lucina, and Dr. Mario as well. My cousin likes Dorf too, plus it helps us try the newcomers earlier. In the long run it really won't make too much of a difference, considering how much we'll play the game, and we'd essentially be waiting for content. For all we know, our favorite characters could be in the game.


We want to keep it a surprise as well so we can't just ask.

wat do?

I'm not flaming you.

Your comment didn't make sense because Mario already got massively buffed. Also, Doc being included has no bearing on Mario's balance.

Understandable.

The way I was thinking of it was that why not make Mario what Dr. Mario is. From what I read up on Dr. Mario on smashwiki is that he is just a stronger version of Mario. So why not just give the positive attributes of Dr. Mario to regular Mario in the next game. That's what I was getting at like they did in Project M. Don't get me wrong I don't have any love for the game, but I like how they fused Dr. Mario and regular Mario together.

Personally, I'd be more annoyed than anything if someone gave me a copy of Smash for my birthday with everything unlocked. Happy for the gift, but still annoyed. Again, unlocking things is half the fun.
You know, first world problem. "My car's the wrong color" and all that.

Still, man, sloppy seconds.
