Pit’s Revenge Part Deux

(Part One is here)

Pit re-read the missive he'd received two days ago.

FAO Kid Icky
Our last battle was unreliable and unfair. The air in Skyworld is too thin and how do you expect me to fight when I am nearly fainting from lack of oxygen? I demand a rematch at a neutral location. I will meet you on Tuesday at Space Station 0 at exactly 10h00. If you don't turn up I will assume you forfeit and I shall be the victor.
- Ike
PS I fight for my friends

Pit crumpled up the letter and tossed it over his shoulder. 'Ha!'

Kid Liquorice tapped her feet impatiently. 'And once you've finished your battle, you will be good friends again, won't you, because I want to invite him to our house for tea. Oh look, he's coming!' She sighed. 'He's soooo handsome...'

'We didn't come here to admire the view!' Pit snapped.

'Didn't we? I did.'

I Really Hate Fail Factor Infinity (aka Factor 5)

This guy is so freaking brilliant

Why they're not using his awesome Brawl design and making him look like a western emo Star Wars character is beyond me. FFS. Things don't need to be dark to look cool, any of those Pit designs are using the Brawl design but making him look needlessly emo/darker, or too much like an adult. The game is called KID Icarus for a reason, Pit is an adolescent!!

Creating Pit like this will not bode well for Japanese sales, neither does Factor 5. I know it never did so well in Japan anyway, but his Brawl look is amazingly popular now. By doing this they instantly take away any popularity potential.

Angst is the total polar opposite of good. He looks like f***ing Anakin Skywalker with wings!

I don't care if it's concept art, if they had any brains they'd use his popular Brawl look, no redesign needed, that was already done.

EDIT: Oh, and the story of Pit as a fallen angel is total bulls**t. I hope it's not real. It's the total opposite of the way Pit is usually imagined. Why does everything have to be all dark and angsty these days!?

The Tale of Kid Icarus

From the Kid Icarus - Angel Land Story manual

Let us go back to the distant past to an age when the gods and Man lived together in harmony. There was once a kingdom called "Angel Land." This kingdom was ruled by two beautiful goddesses, Palutena who administered light and Medusa who ruled darkness. Palutena lived in the Palace in the Sky and administered light so that man could live in happiness. And bathed in this light man grew food and lived in peace.

However, Medusa the goddess of darkness was different. Medusa hated mankind. She took great pleasure in drying up the crops that man took great pains to grow and in turning people into stone statues.

'You'll pay for this, you rotten eggplanticus!!!!'

Silver Arrows’s Pit Screenie Bonanza!!!!!

I got my SD cards :mrgreen: The pics look better on the TV screen, they look very pixelated here though 🙁 For some reason the pics are anti-aliased on the Wii, but not when transferred to PC. I don't get it [Edit: you moron. It's because the game is rendering the 3D models, but the JPEGs are like thumbnails]. Click to view full size

Pit's just fired a light arrow. Or I think he just stopped the angel ring.

Silver Arrows’s Nunchuk o’ Luck

I've started playing Smash Bros with the nunchuk now and - wow - what a difference! I can actually do Pit's glide move now. Very funky! Grabs are also a lot easier. Smash attacks took a bit of getting used to but now I've got the hang of it I'm on a roll!!

Also, we've been trying to do the 100 man brawl for a long time, I don't know how many times we've attempted it, at least 30 I'd say. The most we got was 99 and then I fell off. (Usually though (9/10 times) it'd be my sis who fell off cos she plays as Ike and Ike's recovery is the biggest load of rubbish I've ever seen). That was, of course, until I started using the amazing
nunchuk of luck
and first go, we got all 100 before we even realised it!

That is one lucky nunchuk.

We also got a record of 128 in Endless brawl! Yay!

Now even more impressive - hold your breath - I have been able to take on 2 CPUs at LEVEL 8!! Yes, level 8!!! I've also unlocked Toon Link, he was a pain in the butt, but here is the strange thing. Smash Wiki says:

Complete Classic Mode with Link after beating the Subspace Emissary or find and defeat him in a secret room in "The Forest" after completing Subspace Emissary. Some people have reported not being able to unlock Toon Link in any way after unlocking Luigi.
Link and Toon Link

We haven't even completed the Subspace Emissary yet. We got stuck on The Cave (25%) and had to get our big sis to play it for us, but we didn't do any levels after that. So how did I unlock Toon Link if the only way to get him is to finish Subspace???

Oh wait, hang on, I get it now. You can either get him that way, or by playing 400 brawls. I see, you don't need to do both. Crumbs! All righticus, all we've got left now is Wolf.
