Hmm, I think so. This person seems like they want her in a bit. Just a tiny bit. -
ZeRo won Sm4sh at TBH5, after being knocked into losers bracket by Seagull Joe, and taking it over Nairo at Grand Finals. ZeRo was probably on edge after losing to Seagull Joe, so props to him for keeping it together and taking the tourney. Armada won Melee at TBH5, after taking it over Hungrybox. The Sweds are winning the tourneys. Armada is playing amazingly well right now.

It's the start of the new anime season, so there will be new openings/endings to signify that.

Patch Notes for this update are included here, if you want to check your individual character and see if they changed at all. Shield Stun has been increased a couple more frames. This is probably the most important change in this patch. Let me explain what this means to those who don't know. Shield stun is a mechanic where if an opponent is shielding and you attack their shield, the opponent cannot act until a certain amount of time later. For instance, if you were to attack a person shielding with Marth's Down Air, the person shielding would not be able to do anything for a few frames. However, since Marth's Down Air has an extreme amount of endlag when landing, the opponent would be able to attack them before Marth could act again. Now, with the increase of shield stun, the person shielding will have a tighter time frame to be able to do something against Marth. This could fix one of the complaints about the nature of this game, which is its defensive options. With shielding not being as viable, it may force players to play more aggressively.

Summary of my thoughts of the past two seasons: Spring: DanMachi - SAO with a fresh coat of paint. But, it has Hestia, so 4/10. Hibike! Euphonium: Semi-interesting story, with deep, but unexplored characters. Appealed to band people, so my bias gave it an 8/10. Nisekoi: - It's shit. Except for Kosaki, she's best girl. 4/10 Ore Monogatari!! - Cute story, cute characters, so firetrucking cute. Doesn't do much else though. 7/10 Plastic Memories - First half was better, romance was weak, though it got me with some emotional cheap shots at the end. 5/10 Shokugeki no Souma - If you ever wanted to fap to food, this is that anime. Enjoyable, but Koufuku Graffiti is better. 6/10 Summer: Charlotte - Biggest disappoint of the season. Beginning was meh, but the ending was rushed and shit. 3/10 Gakkou Gurashi! - Threw me for a loop on the first episode, and stuck in that loop ever since. 9/10 GATE - Not finished yet, taking a cour break. I'm not sure why I'm enjoying this, but I am. So far, 6/10. Gangsta. - It was cool the first few episodes, then went in a spiral down, both animation and story wise. Read the manga ending. 4/10 Durarara!!x2 Ten - Not finished yet, taking a cour break. Interesting story, but I still feel lost. Mikado's finally interesting though, so that's good. 7/10 Shimoneta - I'm behind on this, since I'm watching the uncensored version. It's funny so far, but not much else to say. Overlord - Not finished yet, one episode left as of my writing this. SAO with a fresh coat of paint. Seriously, how could someone enjoy this crap?

Judging from the anime you gave us, you seem to prefer action anime. Off the top of my head, you might like Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works - There's another anime under the same name made by Studio DEEN, but I was recommended against watching it, so make sure you watch the right one if you decide to not watch it on Crunchyroll. I found the anime really fun. Spectacular animation and art direction. The story is a battle royale between seven people who team up with a person with historical impact, so they can claim the Holy Grail, the ultimate wish granter. I found the story is a bit weak overall, but I didn't find myself bothered by it, since the characters made up for that. The main character is a bit of a dumbass at times, but he evolves to a better character towards the end. If you enjoy this anime, I recommend watching Fate/Zero afterwards. Parasyte: The Maxim - As a fair warning, there's quite a bit of body gore in this anime, though it doesn't use that as its gimmick. If you don't mind that, I found this anime to be very deep. It starts off with a teenager whose arm is taken over by an alien parasite bent on eating all of mankind, and how the main character lives with it. It talks about the bigger picture about the human race, and what it means to be a human. Baccano! - This anime tells its story in a different way from usual. There are three concurrent plot lines going on at the same time, and the anime switches between the three of them at will. You might be mildly confused at first, but after a while you should be able to catch up on what's going on. This takes place in the early 1930s in the Chicago area, rampant with gangs. There are many main characters, each blessed with the power of immortality. Between those three, I hope you find something of interest. I see you didn't mention Attack on Titan, so if you didn't watch that, try it, since it's not bad.

After I saw the ribboned panties, I never looked back.

New stage sounds fun, but I doubt I'd buy it for a stage I would rarely use anyways. Cool concept though.

So the update wasn't really an update. No real surprise there. I hear there are 1 stock tourneys, but I can't check right now.

Reading a bit more into this, it seems that they never really had the intent of shooting up anyone there. To be clear, these guys are dumbasses, and they absolutely deserved to be arrested, but I'm going to try to rationalize their thought process anyways, since people seem to be interested in that. Also, this is coming from an outsider's point of view, meaning I have near zero knowledge of the community, this event, these people, and what they actually intended, so take it with a grain of salt if need be. First, a little bit of background information on these two. Looking at the source Shulk provided, the article gave me this Youtube link, which is an interview of James Stumbo, who previously won 1st place in a previous tourney. He's knowledgeable about the game, and I assume Kevin is too, since they both are in the Master's Division. They aren't random people, they are involved in the Pokemon community. The facebook page is down, but I found a picture of the guns on the back of the car here and the conversation here, if anyone wants to look at it. This is what alerted the police. Tone is not well conveyed through text at all, so it's really up to interpretation on what Kevin really intended to convey, but it is worrying enough to notify the police. In my opinion, they were joking around. It seems to me that they just wanted to show off their guns to their friends at the event, with the sticker on the bumper of the car sporting a "National Rifle Association" logo and their track record of their involvement in the community. From here on my evidence is based on other people's claims, since I don't have any experience myself with these things. Here is the picture of what they brought with them to the event; it is also in the source Shulk posted if you want to confirm this is the real picture. Now, according to this person, the way they prepared to "kill" was very strange. One gun has a bunch of ammo while the other only has one magazine. Vunks replied that in Iowa, where the people who were arrested presumably lived, they didn't need a permit for both guns. That doesn't excuse the fact that they were ignorant of Massachusetts's laws, just an explanation. So, here's the rundown. Kevin and James wanted to show off some guns to his online friends while they were all gathered for the event. James drives them there, with the guns in tow. Both do not think of the repercussions of bringing guns near a public event. Police caught wind of the supposed threats, and apparently searched their car. They found guns, and arrested the two when they didn't provide the permits required in Massachusetts. The officers went through the car more thoroughly, and found all the stuff, which prompted them to arrest the two. I might be completely wrong about this. For all I know they're sociopaths. But, based on what I've gathered, I came to the conclusion that these two were just pissing around, being idiotic and not careful about their actions. Uh, I feel like I put too much time into this, but here I am.
If you're searching for more current anime, I suggest School-Live! - It's a slice-of-life show. However, there is a major twist at the end of episode one. I STRONGLY recommend you do not read any description, summary, anything about it, until you watch at least the first episode. Food Wars! - An anime that focuses on cooking. I found it to be fairly fun, though it may not be everyone's cup of tea, since it has some large chucks of fanservice. GATE - An anime otaku is chosen to invade and conquer a fantasy world with no technology or society beyond the medieval age. This is a hesitant recommendation, since it's supposed to get better later, but so far, I found it to be a little boring.
Make sure you watch the OVA and movie.
Unless I'm blind as well, you can't make your own 1v1 tourney matches. You can only have a FFA 4 player match up, unless you limit the tourney to two players. Nintendo hosts those 1v1 For Glory Matches, and hatok's post shows why their's is a little less desirable. I don't know why they wouldn't let the players create a standard bracket tourney, since Nintendo can make one just fine. I have no idea what's going on in the Development Team, but why would they limit people when the mechanic is already there? Very strange, to say the least.
Wow, that datamine was a lot quicker than I expected. Anyways, no characters were hidden in the files. Looks like a false alarm. Reddit is teaming up to list all of the confirmed changes that came with the update, so there it is if anyone is interested. Talking purely content, I'm meh with it. I don't play Mii Fighters at all, nor does anyone else that play with me. I'm happy that some of the smaller characters, like Lloyd and Black Knight, got some representation. The stages I don't really care too much about, since I didn't play the 64 version, and I don't really like the look of the stages. I'd have to look more into Tourney Mode, but from what I'm seeing, it seems to be disappointing. I can't limit matches to 1v1s. I can't make a regular tourney with brackets, only some sort of mosh pit with people being randomly paired up. You can only compete for the number of wins or points earned. There is an option for a 1v1 For Glory setting, but it seems only Nintendo can host them, not other players. Moving to the Replays, any old ones before the update will be broken, so if you have any you want to keep, record them now. You can now directly upload your replays to Youtube. However, you have to have the game be three minutes or less, or else it will not convert it into a video and upload it for you. You can't even edit it or give it a time frame. Just the whole three or less minutes of the match. I don't have a replay that runs it to time and goes sudden death, because really, I don't have the patience to see if that works. Instead, here's a video that I had run through the converter and uploaded to Youtube through the new feature. This took about three minutes to play the match, three minutes for the converter to replay the match, and about thirty minutes for the video to upload to Youtube. It doesn't record 60 FPS. It only goes up to 720p. I don't recommend using this at all, since it's so much easier to just use an average phone camera and record however long you want, without waiting some thirty minutes to upload a three or so minute video.
The update is now out, just to let everyone know. Apparently, the file size of the patch is very big, about 500MB. That could imply that a character is in those files, but we won't know for sure until someone breaks into the files and datamines it. So yeah, it looks like the Dr. Mario stage is fake, unless they come out with something more out of nowhere.
There is a chance, albeit very small, that K. Rool is still going to be in. When Meta Knight was confirmed to be returning, Sakurai trolled people by posting a Mii Swordsman in a Picture of the Day dressed as Meta Knight. He revealed the real one was going to be in 2 days later. Just wanted to throw that out there. Still very small chance of K. Rool really being in.
The problem is that it sounds like an insult to the person being contradicted, because it indirectly assumes anyone who is on the opposite side seem uneducated, willfully ignorant, or wrong. Obviously, that's not the intention 99% of the time, but the connotation is there. There's not much you can help to negate the negative connotation, save already knowing the person because you know that's not how they act, so many people will hide behind the disclaimer. I don't think the disclaimer is a bad thing in and of itself, but I think I know what you're going for. You just want people to stop being so sensitive and get over it. Not going to happen anytime soon, I'm afraid.
So, ZeRo has officially responded to the Melee tweet he did a while back. While I am slightly disappointed that I won't be able to see some sick plays he may come up with for Melee, I think it's really for the best for the Sm4sh competitive scene. Much respect to him for being honest.
Unlike the salty suite. I stayed up for Bizz to be bodied 5-0.
Congratulations!
