I don't mind skunks.

As a kid my imaginary friend was a skunk, so I’m cool with them.

Bring this skunk back to life as an actual character in drawn form.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Are we talkin' bout imaginary friends we had?

Keira from Jak and Daxter was mine

 

[SnakeFighter64]

OK. Hear me out. Live action punch-out movie where Mike Tyson plays Doc Louis.

 

[TheMightyP]

Skunks are more annoying than an actual disturbance but one time they did get my dog and yeah that reeked.

Then my mom got people to set up skunk traps until she found out what they did to the skunks.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

never interacted with a skunk before…also never seen one in person outside of being in a car

but I know Pepé Le Pew, so I know not to be near them

 

[Pink Yoshi]

I've never actually seen a skunk in person myself. Just never been an existing natural element here.

His special move: he throws coconut cream pies at you

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Random thought that just entered my head. Are there still furries in the Bojack Horseman universe? Or is it like... that world's equivalent of Blackface?

 

[Will]

Yeah but In punch out you get stars by hitting opponents during specific frames of their attack patterns. How would you translate that to smash?

A jab out of parry (which is already guaranteed in Ult) or perhaps hitting a character out of an attack, also with a jab and/or F-Tilt

I've seen one get his **** pushed in by a possum.

No cap, that possum cleared his fade faster than the skunk could get a single drop out.

OK. One thing I definitely prefer about NES Punch-Out to Wii Punch-Out is that in the NES game, it doesn't matter which direction you dodge. Dodge left, dodge right, it doesn't matter. If you got the timing right you got out of the way. In Punch-Out Wii they decided to make it harder by making it so that if you aren't paying close attention on certain attacks then you can dodge INTO their attacks. Really frustrating.

Like. The game is great. Don't get me wrong. Way better than Super Punch-Out or the Arcade games. But I just wish that sometimes it didn't require you to be so precise.

Now apparently they compensated for this by giving every boxer one hit knock downs if you know exactly what to do... but like... figuring that out without looking it up apparently requires a lot of trial and error because the only ones I've discovered are Von Kaiser's and Bald Bull's... because they're the same as the ones in the NES game...

I want a news update on PM Rex so badly.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Spring is slowly killing me I fear.

The heat is near-unbearable. Also I have some rashes that flare up around this time of year. Allergies? I don't know, but what I DO know is that GOD IT ITCHES

 

[SnakeFighter64]

It's interesting how Doc Louis's Punch-Out is just the tutorial/training mode Punch-Out Wii should have had. Wouldn't surprise me if they had been working on it for base game and didn't finish it in time and then Nintendo told them to make it a WiiWare Club Nintendo title.

I wonder what caused the developers of Punch-Out Wii to turn Aran Ryan into a cheating masochistic sociopath? He's nothing like that in Super Punch-Out.

 

[Shroob]

Guessing its a mix of Super Punch Out where his coach tells him to grab you, which is 100% illegal in boxing, along with the stereotype that Irish are just violent(Fighting Irish, etc).

Except the move he uses in that game is a clinch, which is legal in boxing.

You’re probably right about the fighting Irish thing though.

Disney: “Man people really didn’t like Wish. Could it be that we need to hire better script writers, song writers, put more effort into the animation, the characters, and just make better movies?”

Also Disney: “Nah, it’s obvious that audiences just don’t want original stories anymore. We’ll focus on sequels for a while. Here’s Frozen 5 and Toy Story 7!”

I love Disney but I cannot stand them some times

 

[Jondolio]

Here is my question: do you need to get rid of the Wii U to get cash?
I ask this because I get the impression that you're not gelling well with the classic Zelda formula that BotW broke away from.

I don't plan on selling it, I plan on throwing it away. My Wii U is not in good enough shape to be sold and just takes up space in my room. Plus it's a Wii U, it's inherently pathetic.

I'm not entirely sure I don't vibe with the classic Zelda formula. I beat Ocarina of Time in 2019 and had a lot of fun with it, I'm just not always in the mood for that type of game.

Says a lot about Disney's reputation that I thought that those were real movies Disney just announced...

One thing I can’t stand about visual novels is when characters just repeat someone’s lines in the middle of the conversation.

Sosuke: “So I went to McDonald’s.”
Kimiko-Chan: “McDonald’s…?”
Sosuke: “Yeah I wanted a Big Mac.”
Kimiko-Chan: “A Big Mac…?”
Sosuke: “And the ice cream machine was broken.”
Kimiko-Chan: “Broken…?”

Kimiko-chan just has echolalia, give her a break.

But those sequels were announced before Wish released.

Tbh this is moreso a culture shock thing, I guess? It's a very Japanese thing and needs careful consideration during localization to make it less repetitive, one example I can think of is in the Trails games where they take scenes just like this and flesh out the dialogue when able to to something like idk
Sosuke: “So I went to McDonald’s.”
Kimiko-Chan: “You felt like eating out?"
Sosuke: “Yeah I wanted a Big Mac.”
Kimiko-Chan: “Oh ok, did something happen?”
Sosuke: “And the ice cream machine was broken.”
Kimiko-Chan: “What, again?”

Idk I'm not a writer and idk what you were reading but I'm pretty sure this is a thing in like, Pokemon, Paper Mario, anything else you enjoy

I dunno if it really counts since it's not 100% guaranteed to be in the mod, but the person making it is already an EX contributor.

That's really well done. They have said if there's enough quality in the character, they'll likely add it.

What if Pokémon Masters add The Riolu Kid from B2W2 and not bring Riolu as his mon.

So gameplay of Marvel Rivals is outband the game actually looks like Overwatch... but good?

Are you comparing it to modern Overwatch/Overwatch 2?

Haven't seen any footage of Marvel Rivals, but Overwatch used to be good...The update to 2 ruined it and it hasn't done much to go back uphill again since.

No, I have the patience of a caffeinated weasel. I do watch a lot of them though.

OW2. However people signed a waiver that makes it impossible to make a negative review of the game so who knows.

In unrelated news, there's a rumor floating around that a new Sly Cooper game is in the works

Excuse me, what? That's an actual thing?
