User:Element Knight 375/Gaming Forum

Hello, visitors and members! My nickname is Element Knight 375, an avid fan of Game Ideas Wiki. I'm the writer of several pages, such as The Element Chronicles, and I have been in communication with executive members, such as Ouroburos,TheNewSaurian and Geniusguy445, regarding my work and whether I could join.

Geniusguy graciously extended a personal invitation to create an account and join the community, but I convinced him to let me stay anonymous from an official standpoint for security reasons. However, I provided a nickname, Element Knight 375, for them to address me by, and shortly afterward they gave me permission to establish this, a Discussion Page, for people to give their opinions on once-a-day questions through the extremely quick, extremely easy, and extremely informal process of editing.

So here's how this works: for every day I visit the site, I will come on to this page, type that day's date, and post a question for that day, regarding everything from what game you would want made the most, from a good bout of "Who would win in a fight?". If you are intrigued by a question, just click "Edit Page" at the top next to the title, scroll down to the question you want to answer, start a paragraph, and then make up a nickname for yourself. This name can be on-the-spot or established, but you don't have to make an account. From there, you just write up your answer, hit publish, and then it's open to the public. If your answer is really good, I, Element Knight, or some of the executive contributors might respond to it. If you have a question you'd like me to ask, go to the bottom and post a comment for it (also account-free). Are you ready? Here goes!

08/01/12: If you could bring three completely retro characters into the Super Smash Bros. series, who would they be?

08/02/12: What's your favorite LEGO game?

08/03/12: What's your favorite item in the Super Smash Bros. universe?

08/04/12: Which would you rather see a sequel to, de Blob 2 or Boom Blox Bash Party?

08/05/12: Who would win in a fight, Mega Man or Iron Man?


 * PFFFT. Anyone knows. Megaman!! Mask no Oni (talk) 07:58, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think he'd probably win too. He has more of a warrior's edge and a lot more types of power. Plus, he has his robot friends to help him. "Finally, something interesting!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 22:54, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

08/06/12: What single character do you think should be added to the next Mario Kart title?
 * Lord Fawful from Mario and Luigi Rpgs- Al129023, 6:54

08/07/12: It's been rumored that the next Super Smash Bros. installment will have a more modern focus in the Wii U version, whereas the 3DS version will focus more on retro characters. What do you think of this idea?
 * Gabe from Good Luck Charlie: I think it's a terrible idea. "In my butt." Ethanthegamer (talk) 21:33, August 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure about this. Let me explain: I agree with JonTron's opinion that the SSB franchise is one that gets better and better with each successive installment; as good as  Melee is, the majority of reviewers out there recommend  Brawl first and foremost because it has more options, characters, etc. It's a series that keeps getting better and better. Now, you would normally imagine that the next installment would be grander in the same way, and it does. But the thing is, the only way you can enjoy it is if you can make room for a Wii U and spend $300.00 on one. This is a prime example of the big N's copious concern for the fans over profit (*epic sarcasm*) in the way that it only provides an expansion on series on the condition that consumers buy the new console. Instead, the only thing they make available for the more convenient and less expensive option is a smaller and backwards-moving version of the game. I would be fine with this if both version took the same course of the retro characters, or even of the modern characters, but having two oppositee concepts on two different consoles is just inconsiderate. Frankly, I think the roles should be reversed, considering how younger gamers use more handheld consoles, and they'd logically prefer to play with more modern characters that they grew up with. I suppose we can only hope that the retro roster is good, or that the rumor itself is untrue. "Finally, something interesting!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 02:28, August 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * If they're gonna do a retro for the 3DS, I would like to see some Metal Combat/Battle Clash characters. Mask no Oni (talk) 07:58, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * No way. I think they should both be the same- Al129023, 6:55

08/08/12: What's your favorite handheld Mario title?


 * Pffft, that's easy for me. Super Mario Brothers 3! Oh, handheld..... uh.... um... Can Warioware count? Mask no Oni (talk) 07:58, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I suppose it can. Nowadays you can probably consider Wario a character from the Mario series in the same way you can consider Donkey Kong a character from it. So, if you think of both of them that way, then I think WarioWare does count. If I had to go for a classic title, I'd say I like Super Mario Land the best. Although, Super Mario 3D Land was very satisfying once you got the hang of it, and I very much like Mario Kart 7 as well. "Finally, something interesting!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 22:54, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Probably Mario and Luigi: Bowsers Inside Story - Al129023, 6:56

08/09/12: What's your favorite handheld game in general?
 * Of course, Ocarina of Time 3D. I'm already in the Fire Temple- Al129023, 6:57

08/10/12: If you could see any WiiWare game idea become a reality, what would it be? What would it be like?

08/11/12: Which do you think is better, Sonic Unleashed, or Sonic 4? 08/12/12: Would you ever like to see a bona fide, story-based Mario and Sonic crossover game (basically one that isn't simply about the Olympics)? Yes, yes I would. Mask no Oni (talk) 07:58, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sonic Unleashed. Because it has (way) better graphics, a Boost gauge, a KICKASS song, and beat 'em ups. :D "This is bullcrab!" Ethanthegamer (talk) 23:45, August 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think Sonic Unleashed is better as well, but I think the game is only half-good. The daytime levels (specifically through Spagonia) are spectacular in every way, a prime example of what a 3D Sonic game should be. The worst parts about this game are...everything except the day levels. There are too many cutscenes, frustrating plane levels in some versions, and while the werewolf platformer/beat 'em up gameplay was a fantastic idea, it was unrealistic and became tedious because of it. I wouldn't expect the sense of speed, but there was no sense of exhilaration or excitement, which I wanted badly to see. Still, the adequate half and the spectacular gameplay of the day levels make it superior to Sonic 4 in my opinion, because it's a practical copy of the three classic titles, but without any excitement or intrigue. While it is nice to see the basics, it was too plain. "Finally, something interesting!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 00:15, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

08/13/12: Here's an interesting question in the same vane: who do you think would win in a fight, Mario or Sonic?
 * Since the Sonic series has actual transformations, I say around 70% for Sonic. 99.9% if Dark Sonic is included!! 0_0 "Roger: Tastes like I might die." Ethanthegamer (talk) 00:30, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, Super Mario uses power-ups, which are nearly as good, but I agree. Sonic will most likely be the winner because he can harness supernatural levels of power, while Mario's power-ups only really help him overcome weird terrain and weaker enemies. Plus, with Sonic's speed, he can easily outdo Mario. "Finally, something interesting!" 72.73.217.215 07:00, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't agree. Mario will be better, especially with a Mega Mushroom around- Al129023, 6:58

08/14/12: Whose videos do you like better, PeanutButterGamer or The Completionist?

08/15/12: What are your opinions on walkthroughs? Do you think they make gaming in general too easy?
 * Walkthroughs and FAQs are what make the game easy to find material and other stuff. Take Final Fantasy X for example! :D "Roger: Tastes like I might die." Ethanthegamer (talk) 00:30, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think that they can certainly make games too easy, but they can be useful if you find it truly impossible to get past a certain point in a game any other way. "Finally, something interesting!" 72.73.217.215 07:00, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

08/16/12: What do you think is the best work of Rareware?
 * Since IDK any other of their work or the company, I say Conker's Bad Fur Day (I aso ike that it's an adult furry, but not "adult" as in a explict/sexy way). ^_^ "Roger: Tastes like I might die." Ethanthegamer (talk) 00:30, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm going to have to take the innovation route first and say Donkey Kong Country for its amazing gameplay, multiplayer, and graphics, and then the nostalgia route with Goldeneye 007. "Finally, something interesting!" 72.73.217.215 07:00, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

08/17/12: If you could have one new common enemy added to Minecraft, what would it be?

08/18/12: What neutral mob would you like added the most?

08/19/12: Which would you rather have, a PS3 or an Xbox 360?
 * An Xbox 360. It's easier to control, and has alot better games- Al12903, 7:00

08/20/12: Would you like to see a true-to-form third Banjo Kazooie game at some point?

08/21/12: Who do you think is the better villain, Ganondorf or Sephiroth?
 * I think Ganondorf is definitley better. - Al129023, 7:02

08/22/12: What's your overall opinion of Super Mario World?
 * I think overall it is an amazing game with pretty good graphics. CrazieDave. Hey Chugga, don't eat the mushroom. 00:18, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * I myself have had Super Mario World my entire life, and that's how long I've been playing it. I must say, it's probably the most creative Mario game ever made. Every game in the series brings in something new to a certain degree, but Super Mario World is the one that has something different in every level, and that's what makes it such a unique experience. It's fantastic to play alone or go through with help from others, and I think it's probably the best game in the series taken as a whole. "I want dat one!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 21:15, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't like it. I've never been a fan of the original Game Boy, because of the color - Al129023, 7:03

08/23/12: Would you ever like to see a next-gen direct sequel to Super Mario World?
 * I personally wouldn't like a sequel, because Nintendo will probably add something to make it a bad game. (Like adding millions of coins to every level in NSMB2) CrazieDave. Hey Chugga, don't eat the mushroom. 00:18, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * I personally think that the coin-gathering theme in NSMB2 is kind of cute, but to each his own. Anyway, I would absolutely like to see a sequel to Super Mario World, as long as it was constructed in the same spirit as the original. I think things are generally progressing toward that spirit, though, because where the Wii version was based on the first game, I think more recent versions will be based on the SNES version. Besides, the newer versions are best played with more than one person, so if I could get the same experience as Super Mario World with the multiplayer experience, I would be quite happy. "I want dat one!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 21:15, September 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Didn't they already make a sequel? -Al129023, 7:04

08/24/12: What's your favorite title screen in any game?
 * The Legend of Zelda: Oracina of Time 3D - Al129023, 7:05

08/25/12: What's your favorite title screen theme song?

08/26/12: Which do you think is a better series, Team Fortress or Star Wars Battlefront?

08/27/12: Which do you personally find more useful, the Fire Flower or the Ice Flower?

08/28/12: What would you think of a controller that could work with any system?

08/29/12: What's your favorite spaceship flyer game?

08/30/12: What do you think is the most underrated game console?

08/31/12: Which invincibility song do you like better, the one from Super Mario or Sonic?

09/01/12: Who would win in a fight, Crash Bandicoot or Sly Cooper?

09/04/12: What's your favorite game to just pick up and play?

09/05/12: Who would win in a fight, Vegeta (Dragon Ball Z) or Shadow (Sonic Adventure 2)?
 * That's actually a toughy. :P Some (or many) of the the characters from the Dragon Ball series are the most strongest in the animated world. Though other characters, like Shadow for instance, have other methods of evening out. Shadow can use Chaos Control. Nuff said. :P Ethanthegamer (talk) 20:45, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think Vegeta's biggest advantage in this case is his durability. He can take much, much more of a beating than Shadow can. I think if Shadow could pull off the most massive attack at the right moment against Vegeta, it might be enough to K.O. him to the point where he would win. However, I think in terms of sheer one-on-one fighting, Vegeta would take it. "I want dat one!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 06:29, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

09/06/12: Who would win in a fight, Legolas or Link?

09/07/12: What do you think a new, entirely original (not a remake) Zelda game should be like?
 * I think they should introduce new characters and bring back old ones. I also would like to see new types of gear- Al129023, 7:06

09/09/12: Do you think Minecraft should have a console version (on an actual disc)?

09/14/12: Which song do you like better, "Encounter" (Metal Gear Solid) or "Attack" (Fire Emblem)?

09/15/12: Which song do you like better, "Mute City" (F-Zero) or "Solaris Phase 2" (Sonic the Hedgehog)? 09/16/12: Which do you prefer, Awesomenauts or Team Fortress?
 * Solaris Phase 2,it's epic IMO UnknownHero123
 * I think I agree. Mute City is a fantastic, adventurous song, but I just tend to like Solaris Phase 2 and all variations of "His World" more than the average song, because I like to think of it as one of my theme songs. As you said, it's epic. "I want dat one!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 00:08, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

09/19/12: Who do you think would make up the best action dream-team of video game characters?

09/22/12: Who's the most diverse fighter in any video game?

09/25/12: Who's a better fighter, Ike or Cloud?

09/28/12: Who would win in a fight, Albus Dumbledore or Gandalf?
