This theory was thrown around ever since SSB

...

SAKURAI

>Hell, I used to do that when I was a kid (although they were DBZ action figures...)

are you old enough to be on this site?

and then they fucked it all up with taboo

>LimeInCoconut posted a quite interesting theory on the GameFAQs Message Board

lol what

>LimeInCoconut posted a quite interesting theory on the GameFAQs Message Board

double sage!

OP here: Yeah, I'm 18 now, will be 19 as of June.
...Hey, I was a happy kid, 'k?

I always thought that was the confirmed story. The intro to SSB shows a child's room, and master hand playing with dolls. I didn't know there was any other idea.

There it is.

This has been the case ever since the opening to SSB.

Although Tabuu is quite interesting, as he controls even the creator.

My theory: Super Smash Bros playin' kid has some kind of mental illness, and Tabuu is a manifestation of a dissociative identity.

dad is tabuu, kid is master hand

His father got the kid toys, which one day he somehow brought to life and made them start fighting each other.

Everyso often on of the toys would attack him though, and he would get hurt.

This led to him making his toys more powerful to stop the attacking toys.

The kid developed problems from this, thus Crazy Hand came into the picture, a representation of all of the kid's built up frustration.

This is where his father find out he's been doing all this shit, put him on medicine, and trys to get the toys killed off with tar made from copying one of them.

That doesn't work, the kid get's pissed once he figures out what's going on, attacks daddy with only regular Master as he is still under the affects of the drug, sealing Crazy away. Father kills/stops him.

Toys realize that there's something twistedly wrong with this guy, but father uses some hi-tech thing to finally kill them all.

Dedede's timed badges counteracted this effect, some toys came back while father was trying to stop all this shit by destroying the places where the toy's got their life from, their co-joined worlds.

They all get back up and finally stop fighting to bring down the father.

Tabuu is another stealing the first one's toys.

>>12310480
Or his drunkard dad.

I saw many, many different theories, specially after SSE. I remember one that said Tabuu was the kid's dad, which I actually think could be true to an extent. On the other hand, the kid may have decided that his plots must be more elaborated, thus Tabuu.

>>12310509
Hey, that could be true. I'd like those trophies, lol.

Manohman I've seen this before.

OP made up the whole thing on-the-spot earlier today when I asked him about it, then posted it here to get opinions.

>>12310547
No, actually, I didn't see that one.
...I prefer not think Brawl is a kid hitting puberty, kthx.

>>12310550
based on the law of aerodynamics bees are unable to fly.

There's one last theory that states:

SAKURAAAAAAAAAAAAAI.

7/10
Nice job, would troll again

>>12310601
Crazy Hand is Crazy because it isn't wanking

>>12310534
The other kid's a dick though, since he never actually PLAYS with the trophies. He just sits them up on his desk/Subspace and lets them rot, along with his Gundams and hentai figurines.

i think brawl is an abortion

Giga Bowser was a boss in Melee.
Does he represent anything?

Same thread.

>>12310635
I lol'd.
Also, Crazy Hand is a fapper, period.

>>12310659
You know, I never really thought of it...
I think he represents the Dragon in the end of the dungeon, lol.

god damn why the fuck did you assholes buy a wii? do you know it can only do 480p? that's not many fucking pixels, it looks like a fucking snes

>>12310635

Oh god, I'm Tabuu ;.;

>>12310669

Also covered.

Master/Crazy Hand = Kid
Tabuu = Dick older brother

>>12310747
LOL.
Anyway, I just wanted to get opinions, didn't see the thread before.

But you know, I never noticed the sun-through-the-window thing.

>>12310786

Yeah, just throwin' it up there for ya.

And honestly, me neither.
Hence

Bricks were shat.

>>12310659
He represented the kid going YOU KNOW WHAT'D BE FUCKING AWESOME? That's all Adventure was. It had the kind of plot a kid would make up; it was purely stuff that he though would be cool to do.

>>12310741
Your trophies will eventually all rise and destroy you, so that they may return to their home within the original owner's loving arms.

>>12310860

Supported!

Tabuu could also be the family psychiatrist, the kid got old and still obsessed (even more obsessed) with his toys and playing with them, and the psychiatrist is trying to stop it. It's possible the kid is obsessed with not just toys and playing with them, but NINTENDO toys (and Nintendo in general). The psychiatrist's first step to helping the boy is introducing toys that aren't Nintendo characters, so he brings in Snake and Sonic toys for the boy to play with, this helps with the boy's Nintendo obsession, not much, but a start.

>>12310936
Cool.

And, as far as other aspects of SSE, this post made me lol.

>>12310769
So, pretty much what we have gathered is that an older person is trying to make this kid stop playing with his toys. That he is trying to hold onto his youth.

It isn't something deep like a mental disorder. Kids always want to have a huge adventure with their favorite characters. I am sure you faggots have thought if this character and this character fought. It has been posted since the beginning and talked about since the beginning of history. If there are two people in a story or in real life that fight, you compare them.

tl;dr Pretty much, this kids just wants to play out if they fought. The 'adult' wants him to finally put away his toys.

The boy got Snake's limited edition action figure for Christmas, that's why Brawl was delayed.

>>12310371
My take (which I think isn't uncommon with other people)

Master Hand- The hand with which the kid plays. Picking up his figurines and making them go "pew pew" and "pching pching"

Crazy Hand - The hand with which the kid becomes destructive. The hand where he intends to destroy his toys or emulate wild battles

Tabuu- The idea personification of adulthood. It's taking everything away, killing the creative idea of having the figurines fight. Either it's his dad saying "Play time is over. Put your toys away." or the child has grown and said "I'm too old for this. I can't keep wasting time with toys."

"The fun thing is that you can get any sort of story from anything.

Like, rethink the entire story with Kirby being like Saint John and King Dedede being the second coming of Jesus."

was what this pic replied to.

Immediately after came this

"Which makes me laugh when folks say that Chrono Trigger has such an original story. It's only original to most people because they don't read the bible. Japan just fucking loves christian shit."

>>12311050
Tabuu doesn't seem to be the kid's creation. He doesn't fit in with the rest of the world at all.

>>12310936
So what are the Wireframes/Polygons/Alloys? Bootleg dolls?

It took me until today to realize that Master Hand is the cursor.

>>12311076

Jesus was killed by a collapsing ceiling?

>>12311010
darn you beat me to it as I was typing

Tabuu is his dick brother os his dad.
I mean, think about it: would Nintendo (NINTENDO!) make a game about a kid reaching puberty/age to leave toys? Ha-Ha-Ha!

Crazy Hand


Man I'm on a roll.

>>12311143

If it ended with the idea getting beat down and utterly defeated by an army of Nintendo's toys?

Sure!

wow, go to bed faggots

>>12311156
The same Nintendo that'd have a heart attack if, oh my god, someone tipes "Poop" online! IT'S A BAD WORD! BAD, BAD ONLINE GAMERS! I mean, lol.

>>12311106
The wireframes and alloys are old dolls and trophies that have been broken or have had their paint chipped off. They're used for generic bad guys whenever it's needed, and that's why they're always remniscient of other fighters (except in Melee, where the kid used his sister's dolls. This is why these fighters look like Barbies and Kens.)

>>12311177

Yeah...but a) This is still our own speculation
b) Noone's saying anything, every cutscene lacked dialogue
c) Ironically enough? In this game you can with custom taunts....against friends anyway -_-

>>12311188
LOL.
They're $1,99 toys.

>>12311188

Cool Idea. I like.

>>12311226
True enough, I remove my previous statement.

>>12310735

Hello home theater fag that only likes a game if it displays 1080p.

>>12311082
Manifestation of "putting away the toys" in his world of imagination.

Another theory about the hands.

Remember when you were a kid, you would invite your friends over to play around. Like, little little. You would first play lightly, just playing each other from one side to another. Laughs were had. But there was always that one faggot that was WAY too rough with the god damn toys and would slam it everywhere.

The only thing we see in SSB was the boy throwing the Trophy. Could I put that there was a second person there at the opposite side. He was using his left hand cause that is the easiest to counter act a right hander in 'Knocking them out' to the other side.

I push that crazy hand is that dick that took it one step too far.

or they're wireframe, and thus practically see-thru, because he's just imagining them, and seeing as we're basically seeing everything that's happening in his imagination, we get to see them too.

>>12311276
Mo' like manifestation of "can't dad see I'm playing!? I want to kick his ass, uugh!"

>>12311226
>b) Noone's saying anything, every cutscene lacked dialogue

Well, besides certain characters announcing thier special moves like they always do, like "PK THUNDA!" and "FALCON PAUNCH!".

Y-You lost me.

Tabuu looked damn cool, didn't he?

And he definitely gives off this sense of living in a world outisde the one everyone else is goofing around in.

I smiled seeing Sonic being the first to try and take him down. I grew up on the genesis. For that moment it was like it was me imagining this whole scenario, and Tabuu is like...a personification of the fact that "Hey....you haven't been cool recently, people lost respect for you" and here he is gallantly fighting for his image.

='D

>>12311301

Who, Crazy Hand?

>>12311299
You can see their hearts.

>>12311330

It's okay, thanks for the game!

We enjoy it.

>>12311276
He doesn't seem to be a manifestation at all. He could even be another toy somebody else left at the kid's house. Or hell, even something that came out of the kid's newfangled video games.

>>12311359
>imagination

key word, there.

>>12311369

>Or hell, even something that came out of the kid's newfangled video games.

in 1080p, lol.

It's just an old guy with glitter butterfly wings, jeez.

>>12311369
This could be a wonderful response to Kingdom Hearts? I mean, all the characters do look like them.

Taking into consideration, I am thinking the kid is about 13 or 14(?) by SSB:B. He is playing JRPGs and games like Metal Gear Solid and getting into more nostalgic crap like Kid Icarus. Game and Watch from Melee could have been easily be the kid just seeing the game somewhere.

So, this could be just Nintendo's response to kids watching other games and comparing fighters?

>>12311369

I'd want a Tabuu toy. Who's with me?

>>12311456
>>12311331


This 'kid' is each and every one of us.

Here's a better idea than imbuing bizarre mental illnesses or multiple characters into the back story of Smash Bros/Brawl.

The original game was obviously hands of someone playing in a room with figures. Canonical.

Melee introduces more characters, modes, areas, and bosses. This is just the "game" the child plays progressing into something more elaborate, like when you would pretend toys that weren't really part of something still were. (Giga Bowser is like when you used a foot tall t-rex toy to battle Batman.) The reason we no longer see the toy box and other elements is because they're redundant, and the kid's imagination has created new settings so he's no longer thinking about being in his room.

Part three, with the Subspace Emissary, well this is just our player writing his first "story" with the characters rather than just endless action. I'm sure some of you did this with your toys. And not only did some of you treat yourself as a character in these stories, but you would introduce new characters that might even "trump" you for story purposes ("Sorry guys, you're on your own, this AWESOME villain I made up is too much for me.")

Alternately, Subspace is an alternate reality that hijacks a child's imaginative game. Or, it could be a dream he has wherein he loses control of his game and it takes on a new spin with its own story.

Don't overthink things, though that feels ironic coming from me. I think my theory is the simplest jump forward from the original game.

>>12311490
Fully agreed.

>>12311490
>the "game"

The Child is a Nintendo fanboy.

>>12311490
After reading, I am also pushing towards this being the kids reality. Maybe having a couple of friends over for crazy hand or something but the rest is all him. The stories, the adventure, the action and all.
Melee -
Adventure: For adventure mode, the kids, "Well, fuck, what would 'link' do if he were in Super Mario or Metroid?"

Classic: Fucking around

Challenges: Well, if we put him up against this and these things. Maybe he would have a harder time. How would he react to this?"

Notice, that his mind is getting more grown up during this time.

>>12311490

Seconded.

I stumbled upon a three page thing talking about how Portal could be seen as a feminist movement.

I like thinking I'm the 'kid' though

>>12311568

Shit, made me lose.

/r/ rapidshit of all this text/theories.

/r/ Archive of this. Brilliant minds over thing a video games.

>>12311631

What, you want the other thread I've been pulling excerpts from?

>>12311369
If he was a toy he'd also be a trophy. When he was defeated he just disappeared.

I still think he is the personification of adulthood.


Or an aging where playing with toys isn't cool and over elaborate JRPGs are all the rage.

>>12311456
There's always the chance that Nintendo doesn't make video games in this reality. Perhaps in this world, they simply have an extremely lucrative toy line. Any similarities in worlds between the two could be explained with the inevitable Saturday Morning Cartoons that would result.
Mario's was basically just like his games in this world, and the same with Samus. Pokemon was like our cartoon since nothing conflicts there, but Link's got canceled before it ended. Because of this, the kid never really figured out what Ganondorf could do... he was never revealed, so how could he? The child figured he had to be really powerful, so he gave him the best moves he knew; Captain Falcon's.

Newfag here

How do you request for archive anyway?

>>12311690
What happens to enemies who die in a video game? They almost always just disappear.

Like in Adventure in Melee, Goomba and koopa would disappear. But when you lost, you turned into a trophy. It is all in his head.

>>12311721
Because they are extension of the urge to stop playing.

I guess? (Laughs) I don't know.

I'll just leave it at that. I have to get up in a few hours and I haven't finished my Sound Analysis paper for Digital Audio editing. XD

>>12311771

You rock.

If i request this get archived, anyone with me?

I'm not gonna go around trying to archive everything I see just because I learned how.

WIREFRAME AND POLYGON TEAM ARE ARMY MEN

Uh...well I really should be focused on my paper. But I went and made an archive request for you, Anon.

>>12311882
I actually do like the sister toys idea in comparison to Army Men. The figures don't look for the wires.

>>12311910

Thanks. Good Luck with that.

Hell I should be sleeping, and here I am tossing in pieces of another thread just because my friend started it.

Wow, archive... Nice.

Archive?!
I'm... so... happy...
