Anonymous asked: The Desert Dogs are wise to run now, don't you think?
Well if you read the end of the most recent post…
“The Desert Dogs, seeing that Twilight’s no longer under the Vicegerent’s control. All run away to avoid Twilight’s possible wrath. At the very least, it will help them evade arrest”
So yeah, they got out of there pretty quickly…

REBLOG IF YOUR FIRST SUPER SMASH BROS. GAME WAS THE ORIGINAL SUPER SMASH BROS.
Anonymous asked: I hope Zathir's defeat is equally disgraceful and excruciating, man does he grind my gears!
His defeat for good won’t come until next week. (To be exact, next Tuesday, April 28th)
But I do feel what comes up for him will be quite fitting. It may not be what most may want to happen, but I hope to convince through the story that Zathir gets his Just Desserts just as much as some people would of liked seen done with Zathir if not more.
In case you haven’t heard yet. Smash 4′s Update has been datamined and it included some interesting files such as Victory themes with characters named including Lucas who has already been confirmed coming in June. As well as Roy which has the Fire Emblem victory theme so we can assume that it’s the same Roy from Melee and there was also a Street Fighter victory theme as well as music track showing that Ryu from Street Fighter is also coming as DLC. Here are my thoughts thoughts on both characters.
Roy
Eh, I’m not as happy to see him return as some are. I just never thought he really deserved his spot initially. And even now I think the only reason he’s coming back is to appeal to those who liked him in Melee more so then his own game. Cause in the game he’s actually in, the Fire Emblem fanbase considers him one of the worst lords in the Franchise. So the demand for him basically strictly comes from those who liked him in Melee.
But whatever, I’ll just send him in the same corner as I do Dark Pit and Dr. Mario when I do get him. I’ll play through Classic and All-Star on both versions (On 0.0 intensity and Easy difficulty though) once, maybe also one runthrough in Smash Run. But then I’ll barely touch him afterward.
Ryu
Meanwhile, with Ryu. I’m a bit more positive on him. Though I am a little conflicted on why choosing him in particular first. As I assume it would be Sega getting the first company to have a 2nd rep. And even if it wasn’t them, I would assume Namco would of gotten it since they helped make the darn game. But hey I’m not complaining too much. This just means something may be coming for them in the future. Cause Ryu’s inclusion bolsters the chances of 3rd Parties in general and opens the door for more then ever before because now 3rd Party companies aren’t restricted to 1 rep thanks to DLC.
So guess what? My voted character (Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog) just got their chances bolstered a little due to the discovery of Ryu as upcoming DLC.
Oh and if there’s any Nintendo Purists that complain about 3rd Party DLC corrupting Smash Bros. Then the perfect joke comeback is: “So you’re saying Smash Bros. is RYU-ined?” Hehe~
Warning: If you haven’t seen the Season 5 Opener. Scroll past this post
I don’t get quite the vibe that Starlight is gone for the entire season. I feel like we’ll see her again sometime this season even if it’s as far as the Finale. It felt like it was implying we’d see her show up again as Starlight wasn’t exactly like Trixie (Who was just a very boastful showpony, she didn’t have an agenda like Starlight did). The theme of the Season is Cutie Mark Magic, just because the Mane 6 foiled her town plan. Doesn’t mean she may go try to find other means to get what she’s after.
I do kinda agree that it wasn’t quite as exciting as some of the other premieres tend to be. And if I ranked the premieres by how much I enjoyed watching them then in comparison the Season 5 premiere might rank lower then I do. But otherwise the feelings of creepiness and less big magic Magic booms at the end is because that’s what the episode was intending. That’s not to say the Season 5 premiere was boring though, just very different from previous premieres where we got in order- Season 1: Nightmare Moon has come back after 1000 years! OH NO! Season 2: The spirit of Chaos has comes back after 1000 years! OH NO! Season 3: The Crystal Empire has return, but with it came the evil King Sombra OH NO! Season 4: The Everfree forest is expanding and kidnapped Celestia and Luna?! OH NO!
I get that. As Season 5 has somepony that has some “equality” plan that would likely take years and years to accomplish. There’s less immediate danger because the Mane 6 could of left that town alone and they would of gone on their little different society a little while longer unless Starlight for some reason wanted to attempt to invade and expand which would actually be a little more detrimental to her plans because obviously the Princesses would come to stop her. Still in terms of what the episode was trying to do I think the episode overall is solid. Remember that I didn’t say it’s my favorite premiere as I still prefer the Season 4 premiere that had it’s own twists and still had a little bit of the bang that premieres usually have. But in an overall sense, the Season 5 opener does what it wants to do better then most of the other premieres.
THE CUTIE MARK-LESS THOUGHTS
(I know that the actual title is The Cutie Map but I’m still going to call it Cutie Mark-less just because I like that title for it better :V)
These are just some notes and general thoughts I jotted down as I rewatched the opener. If you still haven’t seen it yet, skip this over.
Quick run through of what’s going on in April for me
Tomorrow/Every following Saturday: Start of FiM Season 5/More Season 5
Every Week Day: New Page(/s) to Return to Saddle Arabia
April 15th: Mewtwo download codes for both versions of Smash 4
And April 23rd: A whole bunch of new Mario Kart content!
So yeah, almost every day of April will be something good B)
Apr 01
In all seriousness though…
Today was such a great day thanks to all that Nintendo news. I’ve been in hype mode all night long. The Sonic costume for MK8 and the return of Smash Bros. character speculation being the biggest reasons why.
