    What do you guys think of metacritic?

    I personally don't care for it too much, but I'll admit the reason for that isn't the fault of the people who run the website. I'm just not impressed with the user reviews section being such a gathering for haters and review bombing. But by design such a feature was always going to be prone to that sort of thing so what can you do?

    I may not have been born until after it stopped airing, but thanks to my parents recording it on VHS I got to see the Zelda cartoon as a kid and was pretty into it at the time.

    I've been getting bit by a bit of nostalgia bug for it lately so I decided to give it a re-watch. Just finished up episode 4 and to be honest, I'm not hating the experience.

    I think said nostalgia for it combined with my acceptance that this is just how 80's cartoons were like makes me more forgiving of the reasons people don't view it very fondly in the modern day.

    That's not to say I don't understand the reasons people aren't impressed with it mind you. For example, Link and Zelda both certainly have their moments of not being quite as tolerable.

    Why does cooked meat look so much more appetizing in anime then it does in real life?

    osby mentioned earlier today how they think a gacha style system in a big console game that has no Microtransactions and instead gives you an abundance of those summon items through normal gameplay could be a good idea so long as it’s executed well.

    And I believe the same can be said about another mechanic I’ve encountered in a couple of the few gacha games I’ve played. Said mechanic has a different name depending on the game, but the idea is that you use an item that you also acquire an abundance of through normal gameplay to essentially auto complete a stage you’ve beaten normally at least once and acquire the items you get through said stage just by using this level skip item.

    In grind heavy games this would be a godsend. And in a console game it would be even better because there would be no annoying stamina mechanic to limit how many times you can play a level.

    As much as I like the idea of a warriors game for tears of the kingdom like what breath of the wild got, it does kind of feel like the desire people have for one might spark a trend of people wanting a warriors game for every big Zelda title going forward.

    Which is not the best expectation to have considering it’s pretty much impossible that all of those will get a warriors game. It’s just inevitable that some of them won’t be able to have a workable warriors spin-off and honestly, totk might be one of those.

    As much as it being a follow up to Age of Calamity makes sense on paper, in practice that might just be too tricky to pull off. Though there is the idea of it being its own thing without being a follow up to Age of Calamity.

    With the release date of the TTYD remake being so close, it’s probably official by this point that this isn’t a thing unless some dlc down the road has anything to say about it, but a side mode featuring the adventure of the four heroes who originally sealed away the shadow queen a thousand years prior to the events of the game would be pretty sweet.

    Hellsing Ultimate Abridged:

    Jan Valentine - “It’s time for the annual company picnic! Unfortunately all that your co-workers are bringing is their own rotting flesh! Still better than Potato Salad if you ask me.”

    -

    Dragon Ball Z Abridged Buu Bits:

    Vegeta - “When?! On this worthless earth?! Did I ever become a quote un-quote good guy?!?!?!”

    Gohan - “You were at Krillin’s Barbecue last week.”

    Vegeta - “Yeah. And I brought potato salad.”

    Goku - “He is truly lost to us.”

    -

    So does someone on Team Four Star really hate potato salad or something?

    Remember that anime that Champion of Hyrule was very unimpressed with a few months ago called Bungou Stray Dogs?

    Here’s something that Champion never mentioned about it. The medic among the team of main characters has a pretty disturbing healing ability.

    She can make people fully recover, but only if they’re already super close to being dead. So the series has a bit of a running gag to where if she needs to heal someone but they’re not close enough to death for her ability to work, then she’ll have to beat them within an inch of their life first and then she can heal them.

    I’m gonna post this one solely because I am under the impression that Wario Wario Wario Wario Wario Wario would be a fan of the topic.

    Chicken and Waffles is a popular dish, but there are 3 breakfast items that people put in the same category (so to speak) as Waffles. Pancakes, French Toast, and Cinnamon Rolls.

    In a similar vein, there are 3 kinds of meat aside from Chicken that are the common normal meats. Beef, Pork, and Fish.

    So just like how there's the combo of Chicken and Waffles, what would you assign as combos of the other breakfast items and other 3 meats?

    ...I think (if we're thinking of the same kind of French toast, I'm not sure if it's different elsewhere in the world) that French toast would work with just about any of them, but probably best with either beef or pork given it's occasionally served as part of a full monty breakfast here in the UK? Similarly, pancakes probably go with either too.

    That said... if cinnamon rolls are the same elsewhere in the world as they are here, I have no idea why people would put what's ostensibly a "complete" pastry with a meat. It's already garnished and whatever - it's not like the other three where they're essentially blank slates to be served with other things. Plus, my trio leaves it with fish - which I'm not against, a seafood breakfast can be really nice if you're in the mood for it - but I'm not sure that's the best mix.

    Spoilers are something I feel super weird about.

    I am a bigger fan overall of finding stuff out through experiencing the game or show for the first time, but I can tell you from a pretty good amount of experience that being spoiled does not impact my enjoyment of things. At least not to a big enough degree to where it matters, though the more invested I am in, say, a show, the more I’ll want to experience its surprises through seeing them in the show.

    But at the same time, I’ve been in the boat of spoilers causing me to want to experience the thing I’m being spoiled on a number of times. Same thing with being so hyped about an anime I’m watching and so curious about certain details I don’t fully understand yet that I’ll cave and look up the answers anyway. What can I say? Sometimes I just can’t help myself =P

    It’s pretty well documented that even though they can be pretty cool in fiction, Scythes are not very good weapons in real life.

    Which got me wondering, how do these 3 different types of Scythes rank in real life effectiveness from worst to best?

    A regular scythe with a tall handle?


    A pair of dual scythe’s that have shorter handles?


    A kusarigama? Aka a chain sickle with a weight attached.

    So um……about this whole debate of whether or not Nintendo is in the right to issue takedowns, both in terms of a legal standpoint and a moral standpoint.

    We’ve got people on both sides of the debate here on Smashboards so can we try to avoid being hostile in our wording either way?

    When you stop to think about it, Tears of the Kingdom had each wielder of the Triforce show a different aspect of said Triforce than what they’re usually associated with.

    Ganondorf had to rely on cunning and strategy to get that Secret Stone. So Wisdom.

    Link needed the Master Sword to gain power in order to bring Ganondorf down.

    And it took Zelda a lot of courage to transform into the Light Dragon.

    Be it as a standalone character or as part of Paper Mario’s moveset, would Vivian be able to be in Super Smash Bros?

    The games a platform fighter, so you know, lots of jumping, but if I recall correctly Vivian is always rooted to the ground via her shadow.

    I’m not going to lie. As good of a feature as auto saving is, in terms of what could be considered essential game features nowadays it’s probably the most meaningless one to me personally.

    Reason being that even if a game has auto save, I get so paranoid about losing my progress that I always manually save before I stop playing a game anyway.

    Cool of a mode as the original All-Star Mode was, I feel like there is such a thing as the roster becoming too big for it to really be something that can stick around.

    What I'd like to ask all of you though is, did the roster for Ultimate reach that point?

    I overheard someone on the bus mention “Rice Krispies Drinks” just now and I thought to myself “There’s no way that’s actually a real thing. I had to have misheard that.”

    I looked it up to verify and it ended up being half-true. Ultimately I think they were referring to the Rice Krispies Flavor for those Breakfast Essentials drinks, but in the process I did learn that Rice Krispies treats are used in certain adult beverages.

    Like the Spiked Rice Krispie Treat Shake Shooters.

    For as much talk relating to Wario Land that goes on around here, I haven't seen anyone talk about some good ideas for a Wario Land stage in Smash.

    I know the Golden Pyramid from Wario Land 4 has some potential in this regard but that's the only Wario Land stage I can picture. I wonder what else is out there that would make for good options.

    To this day I have never found an easier one of those “One gotta go” challenges then the one where the choice was between Pancakes, Waffles, French Toast, and Cinnamon Rolls.

    Getting rid of French Toast out of those 4 is such an easy choice for me.

    I would choose to eliminate the person who teleported into my room in the dead of night to provide this ultimatum instead

    That aside I've not actually had french toast so I don't really know how good it is. That said I'd totally keep pancakes

    kicking out waffles because I don't like how inconvenient they are to eat and to cook. You gotta have a waffle maker for it, and even when you're eating it, the thing has to be doused in syrup to be even remotely soft.

    Chicken and waffles is pretty good, but not good enough to save waffles as a whole for me.

    Cinnamon rolls for me. All of the ones I've had were way too sweet for my liking (I say while drooling over a french toast with nutella, banana slices and a drizzle of peanut butter)

    The game where Wario tries to become rich by treasure hunting is called Wario Land.

    The game where Wario tries to become rich by making video games is WarioWare.

    What should we call the game where Wario tries to become rich by revolutionizing the automobile industry with cars that are powered by his gas instead of actual gas?

    I really enjoyed my time with Dragalia Lost, and became enough of a fan to where I would like to see the series continue beyond the one mobile game.

    That being said, I kind of wish they picked a different name than Shapeshifting for the ability to take on the form of a dragon.

    Shapeshifting is a word I find annoying because whenever I’m typing it I always have to be careful to not forget the F in Shift.

    Pressure Point Combat is something present in a few forms of media like Naruto, Fist of the North Star, and a couple Superman Comics, but I do wonder if it’s actually a form of combat that’s a thing in real life.

    And if so, then I also wonder how effective it is.

    It is to a certain extent, but the nature of it is a lot less... colourful than in your examples.
    It's often just used to rapidly disarm someone in hand to hand combat.

    Not surprised. I knew from the get go that no one in real life would be able to do what Kenshiro does to people.

    And good thing too. That'd be pretty scary if it was possible in real life.

    One of the worst points I've seen used in a Smash Bros. review was when two guys reviewing brawl said that the hype the game generated was a bad thing about the game that nearly ended up killing the game.

    A pretty flawed argument.
    psb123
    Gotta be honest, I prefer the approach Ultimate took with Final Smashes over how the more gimmicky ones worked in the past.

    It’s nice to have a consistent basis for them and some of the more annoying ones to use like Giga Bowser and Wario Man are much more tolerable now.

    Aside from 1-1, which level of the original Super Mario Bros. would you pick to be a Smash Stage?
    psb123
    Do any of you have a character in Smash who doesn’t click with you even though you know it’s a you problem.

    You think the character is a good inclusion, you don’t think there’s any problem with how the character looks, you think their moveset is good, all that stuff that makes you know it’s a good character but for some reason you just feel weird about that character in Smash anyway?

    For me that’s Diddy Kong.

    Back in 2020 a Devinantart user by the name of evilwaluigi posted a picture he drew of a hypothetical roster for the next console Mario Kart game after Mario Kart 8. I thought it was a really good roster at the time, and going to back to see it again now, I still think it's really solid.

    But what do you guys think of it? I've shared the image below. Fair warning, it's a bright picture. So prepare your eyes if you have a dark colored Smashboards theme.
