...Welp I've been preoccupied...With practicing with my Tablet and trying to doodle or finish some by now,older sketches I started and poked at here and there..Also as i mentioned before, been using my Notebook.(Or tumblr page...)To try to get back to writing kinda like I pretty much started doing around 1Up..Starting to get the mindset for it back..Just need to try and adjust to when exactly or how exactly can a make it easier to be even a tad more consistent..(Maybe 'port' some of the posts to here too..)...Oh and I have also been a tad destracted by game news..Mostly surrounding Under Night and the lates Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and WiiU...Luckly my older brother bought a WiiU sometime back so we got the system for the WiiU version..(That is so far slated to be released in "Holiday 2014" on the offical webpage currently...) The 3DS version is set to release around October..(..So far yet..So close...)Speaking of the 3DS version, I will likely try to get a copy..But also a 3DS...Hopefully soon but not entirly certain on that. Also..I assume nearly everybody.(Or..At least those who have been keeping up/browsing news and info surrounding it have found..)Has seen as far as I have heard, the latest character indroduction video for Smash Bros. featuring 2 new characters plus one returning character..

Also as demonstrated in the video..Chrom isn’t playable but he is part of Robin’s Final Smash move..

Hah..It was actually my younger brother.(Who's actually somewhat playing Smash more seriously these days..I think.)Who pointed out the video to me as I was in the middle of some chores..Since he's seen me essentially "Main" Marth from the Fire Emblem game series, he's also seen how I play since we've played together some.(Just as Lucina and Robin are from said game..)Although..I pretty much started off since Melee. Not sure how many of you saw it but there was also a celebratory art piece done for the announcement/arrival of additional Fire Emblem characters..~(Masahiro Sakurai also commented about it Here..)

Sakurai:And here’s an illustration celebrating the newcomers! This was drawn by Yusuke Kozaki, the illustrator for Fire Emblem Awakening. The character reveal movie was created by anima, which also worked on the movie sequences for the original game. We’ve really jumped into the world of “Awakening.”

(A high resolution version of it Here..)

Also..Sakurai made further comments about Lucina And Robin respectively..(Giving a fair amount of insight into their Playstyles..As seen Here..You'll find additional comments and screenshots from them there too..)

Sakurai:Along with Robin, Lucina joins the battle!! Her physical abilities are identical to Marth’s—it must be in her D.N.A. However, where Marth’s power is concentrated in the tip of the sword, Lucina’s attack strength is balanced throughout the weapon, which might make her easier to control. She’s also a little bit shorter than Marth.

(Some comments on Robin as seen Here...And Here..)

Robin, the avatar in Fire Emblem Awakening, joins the battle!! As a master of tomes and the Levin sword, Robin’s not like any other swordfighter. You can also select Robin’s gender when you play.

The Levin sword and tomes are Robin’s life lines. The Levin sword can be activated by using smash attacks—you can even activate these moves in midair! However, just like in the original game, the Levin sword can be used only a limited number of times before it breaks, at which point it takes some time to regenerate. When the Levin sword is unavailable, Robin fights using the bronze sword.

The way Robin launches Arcfire is kind of crazy—he or she calls down a bolt of flame from above, then launches a pillar of fire! By the way, Robin’s tome changes with each special attack.

Pic of the day. Robin’s Nosferatu is the first ability in the Smash Bros. series that recovers your damage as it gives damage to others. The attack becomes even stronger if you strike from behind! Robin doesn’t actually use this ability in the original game, but we added that element to make the character unique. Who knows—the ideas we use in this game may contribute to the original series.

…Not sure if it’s gonna be clarified later but..I noticed he didn’t necessarily mention much about the Tomes and how they may or may not recharge/regenerate..(Presumably they do…?)Ah..If anyone needed/wanted any there are high resolution screenshots found here...Oh right I almost forgot a few days after watching the trailer I put these together somewhat quickly..~

...And yes..I might try to put together a few wallpapers as soon as higher resolution art work/models is made available..~ But..I suppose it should be noted that..robin will be the first Fire Emblem character in Smash that doesn't posess Counter as a Down(+ B..) move..As Nasferatu takes that slot. Well...Anyhow I suppose it's sorta nostalgic seeing smash evolve and see interesting new characters in the roster...I don't fully remember how much we played of it but I have some vague mermories of the N64 version of Smash..(Probably wouldn't be able to play it for anything now..Not reffering to the graphics...)But I most vivedly remember..(And had the most frustrating but surprisingly fun times in the end..)The choatic times playing with my brothers and cousins, with the Melee edition..I wasn't great or particularly bad then...I won and lost.(Quite a bit mostly back then..)Who knows how many times..Funny enough as Marth a majority of the time..Brawl was especially fun since Marth's Sword Dance combos were much easier and smoother to pull off..Me and my brothers ended up playing it so much even after it wasn't as new..Although as is for everyone..Life happens as it did for the cousins I used to play with a lot in Melee.(..Maybe somewhat into Brawl..Can't fully remember..)And they all got older and had more responsibilities..Less time to play..

Presently though, younger cousin's from my mom's side of the family have begun to get older..One of them likes to play fighting games and seems to regularly bring Super Smash Bros. Brawl around with him as he visits and hangs out with other cousins at our Aunts house..Which me and my younger brother tag along to since we're usually invited over for various occasions there sometimes..I myself kinda was a bit hesitant to play..Mostly didn't realize they had been playing Brawl..Thought they were playing Mario Kart of something..Until a heard a familair track..And of course voices..I ended up deciding one evening to see if anyone would let me sort of 'tag in' and play too..Although I can't fully remember how long it really had been since playing with others...Pretty much felt like it had been years since I got to play..Felt 'stale' half the time in the first few times I walked over to them room they set up in..Suffice to say they.(As I suppose is understandable since some of them range from 8-9 year olds to 12-15..)Are mostly pretty recklless..Even my cousin who brings the game and my younger brother who's the same age..Are pretty easy to 'read' in terms of Playstyle...But I also attribute it to..The amounts of chaos I put up with plus how much I nearly forgot I was pretty adjusted to Marth's moveset..Didn't have much to fuss over..

But I'd like to think..The two show the most 'Potential'..~ With the new Smash..I hope to test out and look forward to practicing with a new character or two...Maybe make them an alternate to Marth.(Since he's roughly been my best character..Never really been a second..)Heheh...I think my younger brother partly started to take up Smash and really pick up a character..From playing against our cousin..But apperently it seems as him and the cousins talk..They seem to say i'm "really good" at the game..He, my younger brother kinda keeps track of how many times he's beaten me it seems..Since I hardly play to win exactly I was kinda surprised by that, I think he roughly claims 2-3..(At least..I think he might still be keeping count..)No idea if or how many times my cousin has beat me..Like I said I don't really play for any kind of "Glory" or bragging crap...I'd hardly remember the number of times I might have won one week or the other..I think it's sorta cute actually with those two.. (Although I feel like I might need to be a tad cautious from now on..)

Ah..Think I got this one a bit long..(Even if mostly from the pictures,quotes and video...)..I suppose that was a bit of my game history with Smash..(Although I don't have as much time to play..)Since this is long enough..That's all for now...Until the next entry..~
