Ratchet Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Heya everyone! My name is Fox McCloud, and yeah. It's a very "very" cliche username for someone to choose, but who cares what you guys may think! It's the thought of loving the series that counts. I'm an artist, and hopefully I will put up my skills to the test for this site. I've recently for a few weeks delved myself into playing some Star Fox Games for quite sometime. Specifically the original Starfox 64 and Starfox Command. And I've realized my hands have been glued to the controller and DS ever since, I think I may be getting addicted with this series which, hopefully, doesn't stop. I've played Star Fox for a few years before, but I've never been this addicted, I don't know how to explain it. I have this power hungry feeling, surging to be playing all sorts of Star Fox games and to do many other things related to Star Fox. It's really fun and I can't stop. I've even looked up fan-fiction and searched for art all round the web seeking to fulfill this feeling of mine. That's when I decided I would find a fan site dedicated to Star Fox and join SFO. I hope to learn more about things about the Star Fox Series and see some amazing things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sroberson Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I recently read through one that I found pretty entertaining and it was lengthy. It takes place after Command, assuming Krystal leaves StarFox and joins StarWolf. I am not a huge fan of plots that don't put Fox and Krystal together, but this one caught my attention and the next story in the series isn't finished yet (author still working on it). Grammatical and spelling errors are pretty persistent but it still seems to read to me....hope you enjoy! http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3877230/1/Rogue_Fox_Armageddon_Soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not very fond of her. What game does she appear in again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroberson Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I can't really say I know much about Krystal. And I'm not very fond of her. What game does she appear in again? Awww... She first appears in StarFox Adventures and plays bigger roles in Assault and Command. I haven't played Command though so I can't really say how important she is to it. You might like the story if you aren't a fan of her. Even though she is in the story once in a while, it focuses around 'Fox' for the most part. I won't spoil any of it in case you decide to read it and start enjoying it. I apologize if I threw any other spoilers out there on accident >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sroberson Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Which games have you played? I admit I am not the best fan there is as I have only played SF64 and Assault. I need to work on playing the rest pretty badly. Falco'sFinest has been showing off StarFox 2 on a couple of the threads and it looks great! (Btw, I feel everyone is entitled to their opinions so I will not judge . I am just personally a Krystal fan haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Btw, I feel everyone is entitled to their opinions so I will not judge . I am just personally a Krystal fan haha) I'm not the best either but.. How should I say this.. It was hard for me to get a grasp on other games because of where I leave and who I live with.. But I've played StarFox 64, Command, and Assault (In Japanese xD). The most difficult reason why it's difficult to get a Star Fox game is because of my bro. He discourages me from getting any Star Fox games for some reason, but he doesn't dislike Star Fox. One of these days I plan on buying Adventures and Assault. The first game that I've ever played that was StarFox was SF64, about proabably 10 years ago. As a kid I found it really cool to see Fox in a ship in one of those shooter games, Star Fox 64 was probably the game I'd point at if somebody asked me what a good shooter game was, it was just the best flying/shooter game I knew. I've also played Assault but I never really understood much but played anyways. I got the chacne to play it most of the time by entering in a Japanese Electronic Store. I always visited the game section to play SFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have beautiful memories playing SF64 back when it came out (think I was 8, and by beautiful memories I just remember how much I loved playing that game haha). If I recall correctly it was one of the first games that I owned on top of Mario 64. Not sure why one would discourage playing the game (furry thing?), I feel like its one of Nintendo's best icons other than Zelda and Mario. You say you played Assault in Japanese? I'd imagine its a bit hard to understand . I think the next SF game I would like to get is Adventures, but my problem is finding a copy that I can guarantee is in good condition.

Peter Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Welcome! That's pretty cool that you're into fanfiction. I suggest reading 'Echoes of the Future' on FanFiction.net, it's a good and long story. I also have my own fanfiction, but unless you like reading mediocre writing, and excessive block text for the first 13 chapters, don't read it. Otherwise, I need the readers, so go for it. Pertaining to the subject above that you were discussing with sroberson, I didn't like Krystal at first either. I was like, "Well, she's worse than Slippy in battle, and she's a piece of trash that ruins everything to the storyline." Well, it's pretty widely accepted that Command isn't canon, so never fear about the crappy endings involving Krystal in that... anyways, welcome! Don't drink the water, don't order the tuna salad, don't use the sheets that are already on the bed, and don't go in the pool if you know what's good for you. Well, that's pretty much all you need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratchet Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Well welcome....again! Haha I posted in your other thread but I wanted to commend you on your effort to play the StarFox series. I mentioned I have been going through the entire series myself lately and your words apply to me very well, also. I am extremely addicted to StarFox at this point and I've only made it through 3 games so far (including one I played all the time as a kid so nothing new there). Have a looksie here when you get a chance: http://starfox-onlin...starfox-a-fest/ I don't know how old you are, but you sound a lot like me. Nice to have you around I hope you stay. Enjoy yourself man! Yeah! I really want to play badly! I'm tired of watching walkthroughs and stuff, I want to experience the games first hand. I've played Command, but I heard it wasn't as good as other games. But I equally love SF64 and command the same. That's weird but awesome how we both sound alike in our intro threads. How long have you been on here anyways? Also I'm 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if there is an actual timeline for the Star Fox series? I'm planning on buying either Assault or adventures. But I'm not sure which one goes first. Yeah it's a "furry thing". Whenever he see's me drawing something furry he sorta looks at me in a strange way and mocks me. "Draw humans!" he says. I do draw humans, but not as much as anthros. I'm mostly good at drawing furries for some reason... If you're looking for a good copy why not try amazon or something? Me, I always go to the nearest gamestop whenever I want to buy a game.

Well, that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm not sure how I should react toward Krystal.. I know there are many Krystal fans out there, but I just don't understand why. I like the original characters starting from the earlier games. It gets more complicated when I see more characters, or that's how I see it. Take Sonic the Hedgehog for example. The more characters they make the more irritating it got.. But my opinions might change if I actually get the chance to see what Adventures is. Command is a fun game, it's probably my 2nd starfox game I liked so far. I can't remember much of the other games like assault. And yes, I'll do good to do all those things.

Mmmm...Not entirely sure about StarFox 1 and 2...but it definitely goes like this SF64 / SF64 3D SF: Adventures (If I understand correctly, Krystal is not a major character in this game so don't expect character development in there) SF: Assault SF: Command I wouldn't worry about the whole anti-furry thing...lots of people are furry for Krystal haha (by the way I can relate with your issue with Krystal, Nintendo really messed up with her development and other characters got a bit awkward since she joined - but I just see promise with her.). I think your drawings are great in case you couldn't tell from my post in that thread, so don't stop! How old is your brother anyways? If you don't mind me asking I have been looking on Amazon to get a copy of it, but I have been a bit tighter on money the past few days...hopefully that will clear up shortly when the house closes.

Wow, I never really noticed it but the games for the series are really small.. Star Fox needs more love. I guess, it's not a thing to worry about. But yeah, I can still see some strange changes in the series even though I don't go in depth in the other games. Is Marcus McCloud Canon? And thanks for the compliments, And I won't stop. About my brother, he 20, but he still acts as if he were still a teen in highschool. I can't wait to get my own copy.. When I do get one I want the case that goes with it!

When I do get one I want the case that goes with it! Yeaaah I feel the same way about the small list of games, and only about 3 are considered canon if I understand correctly! (Somebody correct me if I am wrong!) StarFox64 was a bit of a replacement for StarFox 1 and 2, Adventures is canon at this point, Assault is canon, then Command is generally not well received as canon among fans. So I guess Marcus could be considered canon if Nintendo wanted to, but the problem is it eliminates Fox and Krystal as far as characters in future games (unless a plot change reverses this for some reason, which is entirely possible). I am personally a fan of allowing Marcus to be canon because it has promise in allowing 3 generations of McClouds to be wandering around the franchise (James McCloud....are you alive or not?!?). Oh man I hope some Nintendo people wander around this website and research the headcannon ideas that wander around. Here's to hoping that maybe that IGN poll requesting another StarFox game will hit Nintendo where it counts! *crosses fingers* Ah, some people can't be as open minded as everyone. I am 21, fighting with the issue of having a fascination with a game like StarFox but slowly coming to grips with "Eh, who cares what I like to do in my freetime?" I am hoping to get a good copy of the game with a decent case, but if nothing else I know I can put my mind to getting a digital copy of the game work on a modded Wii (note: I am not stealing or pirating, I will buy the physical copy of the game as well!)

Peter Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 In case you start hearing things like, "COMMAND SUCKS DON'T BUY IT!" I suggest picking it up for the gameplay experience. Even if the storyline deserves constant neglect and abuse (which the fans have given it for a long time) I'd spend the whopping $8-$12 just for playing the game. And, in the event of the small chance that Command is canon, then ending #3 is the default ending in the game, therefore most likely to be canon.
