I thought Rosalina was forgettable and didn't really notice any explosion of popularity for her that Nintendo and some other people cite as why she's showing up in games a lot more.

Chances are she's nintendo's lightning and somebody at the dev teams for Nintendo really likes her for her to suddenly start getting the spots in new games, up to and including being a psuedo-replacement for the Ice Climbers in Smash 4.

then she is missing the part of masses hate her and she is dragging down nintendo with her which is not happening

Pretty much.

That whole joke's more about her being perceived to be hated or undeservedly shoved into things, it stops making sense when you stop to think that so far she's just been spinoff roster-padding and a secret character in 3D World.

Lightning herself is very definitely somebody at Square Enix's waifu, I remember some bit or another about her being popular among the FF13 crew but she remains pretty well loathed by the actual fans since she's a horrid character and has a boring design. She's a legitimate fem-Advent Children Cloud, if you ask me.

but what about the porn

Peachfag jelly that Rosalina is just better waifu material.

...

I'd normally call Rosalina's design awful and lazy, if not for that disgustingly dated emo-scene girl side fringe that wisely covers half her face. It really makes people think she's different from Peach.


Exactly. Even Shadow the Hedgehog had a bigger explosion in popularity than Rosalina did. The only difference is Rosalina is a girl and this automatically makes her waifubait who's sole purpose these days is just to "look better" than the other princesses. At least Shadow had obsessive fanboys AND fangirls, Rosalina's fanbase is overwhelmingly beta nu-males.

I am pretty certain she is Motomu Toriyama's waifu.

She's mature, taller, and more shy. She's not fucking emo with the hair in her face, she wears a huge blue dress with stars all around her.

I think its worth it when someone gets so ass pained by her that they buy every Rosalina Amiibo.

Rosalina
Reduced to a cameo in the sequel to the game that introduced her
Inclduded in Mario Kart when they got to the point they were adding Queen Bee, babys and Diddy Kong
Unlockable character in 3D World but the main 4 were already playable.
Appears in Smash after every main Mario character has already been included

Yoshi
Gets his own spin off 1 year after the game that introduced him
Becomes the main character of the sequel to the game that introduces him, the only mainline Mario game where you don't play as Mario
Gets his own series of games
Gets put in the first Smash while Peach and Bowser have to wait till the sequel

Which is why Wario got a game after Galaxy was made, right OP?

It's a Nintendo game. She goes "boop" or something when you talk to her. There's no character discussion here. You have autism.

People like Yoshi though.

user, which alternate reality did you come from

Which is why right after that game, he was only stuck to shitty WarioWare titles that bombed while Rosalina still got all the spotlight? Right, user?

She looks like an older, uglier version of Peach. I'm tired of this circlewanking about this damn character just because of her slightly interesting backstory.

The one where I don't kiss this bitch's ASS

Also Rosalina didn't peak in Galaxy you dumbass, it was her inclusion in 3D World

How does a post game character unlock 6 years after she was introduced compare to the hijacking of the main series that Lightning, Yoshi and Wario all did?

...

She did absolutely nothing worth condemning, Mario has and had been getting increasingly mediocre and it's amazing they got anything of interest past Miyamoto's no fun allowed logic. 2D Mario has been in rehash hell and is likely dead, Galaxy 2 couldn't even be bothered to have it's own identity other than hiding Rosalina away in favor of a fatass luma, and they're hitting the very botton of the bucket in milking their party games and trying to make us care about the koopa kids after they've already had more significant returns in the past. On that note Bowser Jr is still more worth bitching about than Rosalina and they have no intention of explaining him (not that they explicitly need to but his reveal and continued role is nonsense). There's nothing wrong with a character being waifu material, in fact I'd swear this was some thinly-veiled excuse to bitch about not Daisy getting a real game role or Ashley not being playable in Smash.

Well Yoshi's Island isn't called Super Mario World 2 in Japan but that doesn't change the fact that he was quickly made the focus of Mario's origin story or that he's been shoehorned everywhere that isn't Dinosaur Island like Nintendo is too scared to introduce something new.

Rosalina is literally Peach's daughter from another dimension though.

That's game theory bullshit.

There's everything wrong about a character being waifu material, especially in a series like Mario.

Shit, she isn't even good waifu material. She's just there for the misguided affeminate sacks of shit with mommy issues.

It's a series about rescuing a damsel over and over again and they want you to think that damsel is cute, Mario isn't devoid of waifuism by a long shot.


Explain to me how this isn't some major projection.

So? Luigi, Toad, and Mario are drawn "cutely". It's supposed to be a cute series for kids

Explain how it is

Also I bet you're a Rosalina lovin' nigger, aren't you?

By the end of the day OP is going to pepper spray some Gamestop employee after attacking a copy of Mario Galaxy.

What I'm getting at is that Rosalina is no more a "waifu" than Peach. That someone could get a mother complex or whatever the hell from her is incidental.

You're the same person who said Yoshi and Wario ruined the main titles so I know you're a damage controlling Rosalina fag who - let's face it - is probably a Sm4sh player and 25 at the most

hi miyamoto

Is that why they gave Rosalina these textures?
Is that why they gave her a tennis dress with pantyhose?

It's obvious she's supposed to be a special "attractive" character especially when Nintenpoop markets her that way

I wouldn't have such a problem with Rosalina if she didn't take classic Peach's style and put a bang over it

That's not furfaggot: the lightning


i fucking hat this fucking furbait.

Show me where I said that.

Female Lucario a best though. Shame all the porn is fucking gay

Okay, I'm fucking tired of these fucking waifu-fetish hentaifags who play fucking Smash all day playing as fucking gay ass fucking weeaboo fucking hentai characters like Rosalina, Loose-ina, Throbin, Corn, Gayonetta, Wii Fit Trainer, fucking Palutena, and fucking Zero Suit Samus.

All these fucking waifu-fetish hentaifags do nothing but worship fucking Nintendo on places like Miiiverse saying shit like "oh my god rosalina is mai waifu xd almost as good as the squid sisters which I jack off too everyday cuz I'm fucking gay". Rosalina is NOT a real Mario character, she's only there to pander to these fucking weeaboo faggots who jizz on their amiibos and suck Nintendo's cock. Take a good look at peach, that's a real Mario character. Sure, one could argue that Daisy is also a real Mario character. But Rosalina? FUCK ROSALINA! she is NOT a fucking Mario character, she is nothing but FUCKING HENTAI.

Now, I know what you guys are going to say: "oh you're just mad because you hate Nintendo, I bet you secretly like hentai" but let's be honest here, you guys are just mad because you know deep down inside that I'm right and you're wrong. So don't thumbs down my comment, just admit how right I am and walk away.

My crusade against against hentai is not yet over, I will make Nintendo great again! I'm out you fucking fags! HA! (be sure to catch TheBalishChannel on Twitch, we typically stream Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from around 6:30pm CST to 10:00pm CST.)

it's almost like you expected Nintendo to created something new instead of rehashing decades old shit

Lightning II, electric boogaloo.

Don't insult Toriyama's waifu or you'll regret it

Lightningcario fights right in a franchise with Lightningchu (lol fuck evolving, right?) and Lightningzard (gee, how come your mom lets you have TWO mega-evolutions?).

Honourable mention: Greninja tried to be Lightningfrog but got cucked by Lightningzard.

I paraphrased, you retard


Ya I did. Rosalina could of had silver hair and be a wizardess or some shit. I unno, it's better than people praising this character and acting like her design is the best thing ever when she's really takes the same design cues from classic Peach and has an extended bang over her left eye
Plus, I just don't like how Rosalina has normal proportions while Peach and Daisy are stuck with big bobble heads and retarded faces since their redesigns in the Gamecube era. It's like they're purposely trying to make people drawn to her at this point.

That ain't mario the plumber's writing style, you almost nailed it. Almost.

excuse me?

Die, faker!

Completely changing the meaning of the sentence isn't paraphrasing

It's a word with negative connotations, ya retard
If its a bad thing, that mean it's detrimental - which ruins it.

Ya Rosafartist

hope you guys like my oc

...

blond hair&blue eyes are an automatic win combo no matter what [current year]

I agree that blonde hair and blue eyes is good, but it's no good when the character is literally a rehash of an old character design with a bang

It was a mistake to keep shoving a game that would get stale after so many releases. While they did do new things like sunshine and paper mario, its getting to the point where its kind of well, stale.

Kirby on the other hand somehow avoids this and continues to be fun and inventive. I honestly dont know how but I have never encountered a bad Kirby game.

You're literally inventing things to get angry about you autist.

Rosafartist


I prefer Classic Peach and Melee Peach

It ain't just the fanboys, Nintendo wants to build upon Mario lore so that they can have that 'Rosalina's heartwarming story' moment again in Galaxy even though thats never going to happen again, not in this direction.

They need to add fuckin Wario to the official mainline Mario games again, they need to fuckin make Sarasaland a thing again and give Daisy her tan back, plus they need to stop making Peach a retarded fake bimbo in the main series

Rosalina is the least of the problems with Mario, I can assure you.

Ok, name the first problems then

The fans. :^)

No, OP is the one who bought an entire shipment of Rosalina amiibos so no one else could have any.

Rosalina seems to have far more hilariously obnoxious anti-fans and overreaction than any actual fans or placement. No one's complaining that they're overusing Waluigi.

They ignore Waluigi

Also I'm not MTP because MTP is a fat white man and I am a fit young Asian man

fooled me for a sec
4/10

Can't see Rosalinda remain popular for long (was she ever?), since pic related is never ever gonna come out.

I would read an entire encyclopedia about the making of every Mario Galaxy level. I would watch a biopic for every one of the level designers.

Rosalina is the Lighting of Nintendo. The fact that the "fans" want more should tell you tell you which way nintendo will be going.

Don't mistake the symptoms for the disease itself, the same Japs who made and push her are the ones who decided we don't need any more good Wario Land games made or underrated Mario characters added to various rosters. She's nothing but yet another bastard-child born of the chronic stupidity infesting Nintendo, just like their obsession with shitting out endless half-assed Paper Mario entries which miss the point of the original and TTYD entirely. Getting rid of her or preventing her from being made wouldn't do shit, the shit-waifu-obsessed idiots in charge would just shit out something equally cancerous in her place, if not even worse.

Everyone knows Daisy is the comparatively-superior and overall best option for a non-mainline (i.e. not Peach) waifu anyways, at least among the Mario roster. The nip-nong ching-chongs hit their peak in the field of waifu-engineering in the 80s and 90s, back when they could actually make good vidya and animu consistently, and it's all been downhill from there.

Tenchi Universe and Love Hina is okay though.

Golden Boy too.

Remember to always dismiss anti-Rosalina hipster retards.

Remember to always dismiss Rosafartists

I've seen incestual porn of the Mario Brothres, but fucking Rosalina's fanbase ,that's where I draw the line.

I just really despise her design and find it uninspired and lazy

It helps a great deal that Kirby's a quite simple formula to get right, can afford to be extremely experimental and its creators love it quite a lot. They've been inching towards something BIG lately since Return to Dream Land up to Robobot have been tying all the games into something of a loose continuity of release order, along with merging the playstyles of Dream Land 3 and Superstar most recently by giving you the mech which handles identically to one of DL3's animal buddies.

Explain how Charizard is as Lightning-esque as Lucario or Pikachu.

charizard much like lucario primarily appeals to black people

...

Assuming that's true, I fail to see how that makes Charizard a Lightning for Pokémon.

Charizard might be popular, but you can see that popularity among the players.

The popularity of Pikachu and Lucario appear to be forced by the franchise's owners/creators. In Pikachu's case, it's maintained for brand recognition; Lucario is more of a straight-up Lightning, because–at least–people liked Pikachu at some point, or already associate it with the franchise.

I hate that rodent, though. It's one of the main reasons I quit the anime.

pikachu = moogle
charizard = bahamut?
lightningcario = lightning
there, problem solved

But no one has the problems with Moogles or Bahamut that they do with Lightning.

Such parallels don't explain how Charizard is as forced as Lucario or Pikachu, not to speak of how Moogles and Bahamut are more natural and far less damaging to the series than Lightning is.

I'm afraid you've still fallen short of solving any "problems".

I want a game where Daisy and Luigi have to team up to defeat aan evil couple of wife and husband villians

…..

Or a game about Shyguy and Snifit

moar

That's no way to be talking to your space mom user.

...

...

...

admittedly Pikachu is THE pokemon mascot just the like Mario is the Nintendo mascot.

The tallness (7'6", really?) and age of the character really turns me off. She's like a great big statue or something

...

C'mon user, what kind of man doesn't like larger women.

MK8 characters unlock in random order m8

weird because I unlocked rosalina and baby rosalina at the end and in a row, same with all the koopa kids, first to last

She was good in galaxy, her side-story was a cute and well illustrated sob story. It was a bonus reward for getting stars.

Really, the only people ruining the series because of her are the previously mentioned autists.

In most shit she's either a bonus character or another unlockable, never the focus

Did nintendo ever even make an edgy 2deep4u game? I haven't really kept up with the series since Mario Kart Wii.

Agreed. I still want Wart back dammit

sorry for off topic but guys im trying to figure out what the name of the dogface "dumb american" meme is, where he talks funny and instead things like "ameriga" and "dob geg" instead of top kek. Can anyone help.

Most men, actually. For some reason in the vidya community it's a meme to go for otherwise freakish looking women men wouldn't dare touch in real life
even if I did, I'm just not sexually attracted to them. sorry

Works for me though I'm 6'5 so the difference isn't much of a bother for me.

I want to know where the fuck this started because I'm seeing it fucking everywhere.

She is just a generic damsel like Daisy or Pauline. I don't understand where you are getting this from.

well shes also a wizard which is pretty awesome. paper mario has taught me wizards and mario go hand in hand. in fact magic has always been a theme, even if mario himself is no spell caster.

oh and as for edginess, the first super mario bros game has a rather messed up back story that gets more disturbing if you let your imagination run away with it. of course, 'kool kidz' will just blow it off without giving it a second thought, and it isnt really something they touch on again.

I'll take "things that never fucking happened" for $200

Well, in the true definition of the word IT IS a meme. Especially when outside these communities guys go for short girls but in vidya and on 4chan they suddenly want tall muscular amazoness? Nah.
