"Hello everybody and welcome to the next episode of From the Whole World of Smash! I am here with my good buddy Marth! Come on out!"
Ike motioned to a door on the edge of the stage. It opened and out popped a prince. The prince quickly walked to his seat, waving towards the adoring audience. When he finally got to his seat he blew a kiss towards one of his fans and crossed his legs.
"So Marth, what's up?" Ike asked casually.
"Nothing much," Marth shrugged. "Happy to be on the show though."
"Cool, cool. So, like with our first guest we have to ask you this. What games have you played and loved that are or ever have been represented in Smash Bro?"
Marth looked up to the ceiling then back to his crossed legs, deep in thought.
"Hmm... That's alot. I would say, Pokemon, Mario, Legend of Zelda, some Sonic games, Pacman, Metroid Fusion, and last but not least, Fire Emblem with Path of Radience being my favorite. I am hoping for the Kid Icarus game for my Birthday, though."
"Whoot Path of Radiance! That's what I'm talking about!" Ike stood up and pumped his fist in the air. He then sat back down and looked at Marth very seriously. "So now the questions are going to be based off these games."
Marth nodded slowly, somewhat intimidated by him.
Ike's face became darker and scarier to the point where his hair covered up one of his eyes. The audience was at a complete stand still waiting for what will happen next. Then, a smile slowly grew on Ike's face. Marth felt his heart beat as his smile slowly grew bigger.
"First off," Ike said darkly.
Marth gulped.
"Considering what kind of game Pacman is, do you believe Pac Man is a good character for SSB4?" Ike said cheerfully.
Marth let out a sigh of relief as he put his hand on his chest. The audience seemed relieved too by the way they relaxed themselves after.
"Even though Pacman is an iconic video game character, he is not a good choice for SSB4 because the game series does not involve fighting. Most other games in the SSB series have a background where fighting is involved. Thus, Pacman is not a good choice for a fighting game," Marth stated.
"I see," Ike laughed heartily. "I scared you didn't I?"
"Yes!" Marth said. "Don't do that!"
"Okay okay I won't!" Ike looked down at his note cards. "Next question. So do you feel the same towards Sonic? Though the game holds some fighting the majority of it is sidescrolling/puzzle to collect coins or at least to my knowledge?"
Marth shook his head.
"I do not feel the same towards Sonic, I have played some of the games, and I think that Sonic is a good fit for Super Smash Brothers," he said.
"I see. After that whole incident with Red I hope you don't get angry when I ask this but... Do you agree with the amount of Fire Emblem characters increasing from 2 to 4? Do you believe that Robina and Lucina deserve the role more than Roy, who was a former playable character?" Ike quickly ran over to the coffee table that separated Marth and himself and hid under it, covering his head.
Marth stared in wonder at Ike, even going to far as to roll his eyes with a smile.
"I do not agree with the jump. Adding one character would have been fine. Even though I like the Fire Emblem series, there are other series that need some attention. I would have preferred to see Roy, but Robin is a good choice since he would not be considered a clone of myself, Ike, and Roy. Lucina would just make people angry with her being a clone of myself, and it would just increase the annoying jokes that I'm a girl," Marth said, tugging at Ike's cape. "Now get out of there you idiot."
Marth tugged at Ike's legs, trying with all his might to pull him out. It wasn't too hard really. When he got out he stood up and stretched his arms out. To make sure he was okay he did a little dance.
"Before the dawn!" Ike sung. "Sing with Marth!"
"Uhh... I don't..."
"Come on! Just repeat 'Before the Dawn' with me!" Ike insisted. "Ready? Okay! Before the dawn!"
"B-before the dawn...?"
"Before the dawn!" Ike sung even louder.
"Before the dawn..."
"Aaand this part is too Koreeeeean!" Ike posed. "Sorry. I always wanted to be in a Korean boy band!"
"Yeah I bet," Marth said sarcastically as he sat down.
"Sorry 'bout that. I should keep going with the questions!" Ike said, taking his seat. "But yeah, I know right! People will start confusing you for Lucina and keep saying that you're a girl! Also, you and Lucina can easily be confused for each other, like Ninten and Ness would be!"
"Are you suggesting that Ninten be added?" Marth teased.
"No! As much as how Ninten is cool I don't approve because they look too much alike," Ike said. "How do you feel over the removal of Pokemon Trainer for only Charizard? What about the fact that both Greninja and Lucario are playable but not Mewtwo who was in Melee?"
"I am not happy with the removal of Pokémon Trainer for just Charizard. I thought that it was fun to have Squirtle and Ivysaur in the game too. I'm not that bugged about the switch of Lucario over Mewtwo because they are somewhat different. If Greninja is just like Mewtwo, then I won't be happy," Marth furrowed his brow and made a small pout.
"I agree completely!" Ike said, waving his hand to the side. "Well who knows, only gameplay can tell am I right?"
Ike laughed.
"Hmm... Here's a really important question that I probably should have asked first. Are you a hardcore competitive player or a casual does it for fun player? Also known as Melee Elite and Brawl Newbs by the community. Either way, do you approve of the 'For Fun' and 'For Glory' mode of WFC?"
"I have not played a lot of competitive games. Normally, I play it with myself or with friends whenever they come over. I find the 'For Fun' and 'For Glory' mode to be a good idea." Marth took in a breathe before continuing. "People who are not that great and just want to have fun can do that, while the people who want to have an intense battle in 'For Glory' can get what they want too."
He shrugged nonchalantly. Ike found his bluntness to be a little cute and interesting. He tried to think of the next question but then just shrugged.
"So, does it matter the ratio of male to female smashers? Do you think there should be more women?" Ike asked. "What about villain characters? Do you think the addition of Rosalina and Palutena was a good idea or just a series being over represented? How about with Wii Fit Trainer?"
Marth smirked.
"The male to female ratio does not matter to me. If they can add more characters that are female and fit, I'm fine with that," He said cooly. "It would be fun to see more villains, but not giants like Ridley. It was good that the were able to get him as a boss in SSE. Rosalina just adds to the over representation of Mario."
"I like how you just put that put there," Ike said.
"Thanks," Marth tried to hide his blush. "Anyway, Palutena is a good choice because The Kid Icarus games has only three games, with the first being either an NES or SNES. The Wii Fit Trainer is a joke to me. This is a fighting game; she does not belong here."
Saying that last sentence made Marth tense again.
"So you don't believe in 'Talk Shit Get Fit'?" Ike asked jokingly.
Marth stayed quiet for that one.
"Well okay then," Ike looked away. "Okay, enough about characters. A few more questions then we should be done here."
"Good it's getting hot in here," Marth fanned himself.
"Take off your clothes then," Ike said with a smile.
"Wait what!? We're on television!" Marth pointed to the cameras.
"I was just kidding!" Ike said, waving his hands in defense.
Even so, Marth tool off his usual cape, belt and tunic and placed it right on top of the coffee table. This garnered some whistles from the girls.
"And it's still hot!" Marth said.
"Nice body," Ike complimented.
"You can't touch," Marth said teasingly. "Let's just get on with the next question."
"Right! The stages are looking more and more like Final Destination, platform wise. Is this good or bad?"
"I think that is not good for all of the stages to look the same. The stages will become clones themselves if they end up looking the same."
"Out of all the Assist Trophies released so far which is your favorite? Whose your least favorite?"
"I haven't payed that much attention because I want most of the new features and characters to be a surprise."
"I know that feeling but at the same time I feel as if they don't tell me then I get scared. They released the secret character Captain Falcon but I'm still waiting on Ness!" Ike wiggled in his seat. "Last question and then we're done!"
"That was fast."
"I know right! So here it is! What system are you getting this for? Wii U or 3DS? From what you have seen, which version do you believe will be the better game?"
"I am getting it for the 3DS, but I feel that the Wii U version will be better because the SSB series has been on family consoles. We shall see what will happen, though," Marth said, a smile growing on his face.
"Thanks for your time Marth! You're a real pal!" Ike said. "Now can I get a hug?"
"Okay sure. Why not?"
Ike ran over to Marth and wrapped his arms around Marth's curved waist. Marth blushed at the contact but quickly adapted to it. He wrapped his arms around the host's back and slowly the two rocked back and forth in silence.
"Thanks for coming," Ike said.
"Glad to be here," Marth said.
The credits began to roll as a slow love song played.
"Are you serious!?" Wolf yelled. "Is this what I have to deal with for this season!?"
"Your fault. You're the cameraman and you signed a waver," Ike said, sticking out his tongue.
He slowly released his grip on Marth as Marth did the same. The two backed away from each other before Marth turned his back and slowly walked away, his hair blowing gently under the air conditioner.
"Good bye Marth," Ike said quietly, his cape blowing under the air conditioning.
Marth then exited through the door.
"Hey," Wolf said. "He forgot his clothes."
