In an ideal world, how would you want directional influence to work in a platform fighter to make it balanced for both parties? I ask this since I heard there are some complaints of how Smash's directional influence is jank, and I want to know if that's true.

Is there a free, no subscription website where I can sharpen my png images to make them less blurry

Okay, Homelander dropped to PU, a tier where the power level is so low that Waspinator is a meta threat. From an objectionable standpoint, who will win, Waspinator of Homelander?

I always wonder, with Meta Knight in Brawl always being called for bans, I never see and discussion on what would happen if he was banned, how would the meta shift now that matchups he otherwise oppress are gone, like would any mid-tier be higher tiered now, I am curious

I'm debating if I should change the grab mechanic in my game Sigma Busters. More specifically I'm more open to each character having a different style of grab to reflect their alien physique. Aremi, my main character, being the basic shoto/Mario-esc character would have the standard 4-directional grab. LAMBDA, a character relying on brute strength would only have a back and forward throw, but they can charge their throw to make it both more powerful and launch farther. Weevle, being a grappler rushdown hybrid, would instead have an 8-direction grab. This is just testing the waters, but I want to know if it's a good idea?

Bruh wouldn't it of been super funny if there was a Wario and Waluigi DLC in Mario + Rabbids and the weapons they would wield would be Wario with a machine gun and Waluigi a bat, and they are basically accidental gangsters as they are on the run from the bad guys for stealing a precious artifact. I just think the image of Wario with a machine gun is the funniest thing that could feasibly happen in the Mario franchise, because what other weapon would he wield, and no brass knuckles wouldn't count because that would be Daisy's thing.

Sigma Busters development story.
Looked at various fighters from various franchises, specifically of the heavyweight archetype, as references for my own game. I've been developing a concept for a female heavyweight fighter since I like my roster to have unique "alien" concepts and that one is something I haven't seen other plat-fighters accomplish. Looking at the Smash Bros roster, I notice a running theme with heavies is that they are related to royalty in some way, Bowser, Ganondorf, Krool, and Dedede, taking the concept of large and in charge and running with it. So I decided that for my female heavyweight fighter, I will also make her a royalty-themed character, mixing the reality of Peach and Daisy with the frame and power of Krool or Dedede. There were some odd design challenges to make a working concept, I felt an insect theme would work best, but I originally didn't want to do a classic queen bee, but rather a wasp or mole cricket of all things. I felt this made her concept too complicated, so after some discussion with Kirbeh I decided that the bee concept is a time-honored classic, bees are cool for moveset potential anyway so even if the direction is cliched, I can do something cool with it. Right now I have a unique semi-zoner heavy of sorts, who uses honey to slow down opponents to help patch the main weakness of heavies, approaching tools while mixing in some Krool and Dedede esc attacks to complete the picture. Her name is Vespa by the way.

The message is to think fighters through, take a core concept and build upon it to make something unique. How does the concept I show to you guys shape up?

Is there a character from a fighting game, not just from Smash Bros, that has a well functioning, well-balanced, and excellent kit, but the top tiers are so broken in their jankiness from their broken strats that it devalues the balanced characters, making them bottom tier trash despite their good kit. Some notable examples and why the way they are maybe?

Honestly I'll say it upfront, AI isn't the issue, it's the grifters who abuse it that are the issues. AI is best used in my eyes as an aide, not replacing the work but rather optimize what you already have. Stuff like suggesting to put a comma in one place, making math equations out of certain scenarios, stuff like that is fine to use AI in my opinion, the issue is grifters abusing it at the expense of workers, it should just be an assistant, not a replacement

I wonder if instead of menus, for my platform fighter, all gameplay selections are done via a hub world. A major plot point of my game revolves around a singular ship overlooking the galaxy, so I am picturing this massive interconnected hub that acts as a lobby for all the modes of the game. Maybe something like Rayman Legends or Pizza Tower, a playground where you can test all the character's moves in a safe environment while you travel through and pick your mode of choice. There could even be changes to the hub to reflect special events like holidays. How does that sound to you guys, would it sound fun?

Do people like Smash Run just becuase of all the references in battling iconic enemies in gaming, or is it becuase of the gameplay and the untapped potential that gameplay could bring. I'm thinking this question when designing the basics of my take on Smash Run for Sigma Busters, where its an endless score attack mode, but the twist is you have to choose when to end on your own terms, since if you die your score will be set to 0. The logic is that it separates the good and great players, a good player can get far, but a great player can decide when to stop and cash the full bounty.

I am fascinated by just how WRONG this theme song is for Transformers Generation 2. The first line seems to imply some so bad its good rap, before it just devolves into non sequiturs and random bits of exposition. Fascinating, isn't it?

Didn't know I could do this, but you can program godot so that when you press certain buttons, it takes you to a website outside the program. So I added a button on the main menu that takes the player to my Discord server for the game, cool huh?

I got this scene in my head for some reason, and I thought it was funny, do you think that's a symptom of brainrot

I wasn't kidding when I said more than 2000 employees had their information leaked, though it was mainly contractors who worked for GameFreak, luckily it seems GameFreak is trying to help them.

With how big the Pokemon leaks are, I think it should come to you guys attention that more than 2500 GameFreak employees got their personal data leaked, I feel that is no laughing matter and is one of the few times I support Nintendo seeking out legal action

I wonder if my struggles with game design is due to some combination of laziness, general confusion, or some sort of internal inadequacy that I can't identify. I admit I am more of a writer than game designer, but I feel like I have the capabilities to make a good game, I just have been having these lingering struggles that I can't just get past. I don't want to disappoint people or lead on the people who have been helping me into nothingness. I don't want to be a pariah or something like that. I just want to prove to you guys that I can make something special, but I always have anxiety if the work I am doing is not good enough, or is not going by quickly. Thoughts like that eat at my mind, and I don't want to be seen as a hated figure on the internet for lying to you guys. My game isn't cancelled or anything, I have just been having lasting issues and this is something I have to fix myself.

GameFreak's staff got their group chats leaked huh?

Bruh where is my 3 hour Youtube essay about the rise and fall of Dreamwave Comics. In 5 years, they revitalized the Transformers brand in the comic space, established what would become important plot points in other TF continuities, most notably the first appearance of the Fallen, had crossovers with GI Joe, was this close to making a whole Mega Man and TMNT comic universe... then just crashed and burned since the managers didn't properly pay the artists and now are considered the Voldermort of the Transformers fandom, next to Energon and he who shall not be named.

Anyone find it weird that fictional Video Games often have real world holidays, even if it doesn't make logical sense. I sorta prefer when video games do their own thing with holidays, making it aestetically similair but doing it's own thing. Animal Crossing is a good example of this trope, Christmas and Easter are replaced with thematically fitting Toy and Bunny Day, holidays that weren't changed like Halloween were given in-universe explanation for existing, and they had a few original holidays mixed in as well.

While I admit Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss aren't exactly my cups of tea, do you think people just like to critique them for the sake of critiquing them, like I understand there are flaws to these shows, like any others, but I find it odd how there are so many critique videos despite not finding anything "WRONG" with the show

Where do you think it would be worse to live in, a city in a superhero show, or a city in a tokusatsu show?

TBH I feel there should be a push for an evil Batman rather than an evil Superman. I feel that has more topical storytelling potential, since Batman always bejng prepared for everything cam be seen as an allegory for police states or surveillance states. Plus an alternate universe where Joker is some sort of rebel anti hero who fights a Big Brother themed Batman would go hard ngl.

No Batman Who Laughs doesn't count

GOT MY MONEY BACK FROM THAT FREAKING SCAM, WE ARE SO BACK

If there is a Pizza Tower 2, do you either want a continuation of the first game in terms of graphics and aesthetics, or a 3d platform in the vein of Wario World?

Potential update on the phishing scam i was afflicted by, my money is likely to come back, it was just a transfer between two parties and not full ownership of the card. Even if I accidentally consented there is a likelihood that I will have the transaction canceled, it was reported an hour after the fact, so soon enough to make the transaction freeze. I am not confirmed to get my money back, but its a big chance.

Update: Discord fixed my old account, its just being locked until the 28th

I am warning you guys of a new type of scam in Discord, the false report scam

Discord will DM you a message of someone sends a false report, then say to contact this account to fix the report or else you get banned. That is not true, that is a scam, and I fell for it.

Would you rather have a video game adaptation that is a perfect adaptation of a game but has some notable pacing issues, or a well-paced adaptation but its one that does its own thing and is just the characters just doing stuff

I'll be real, I miss my dad, nothings been good happening this week, I dont feel good, i'm not in the best of moods, I need a win I don't know where

Does anyone find it weird that Scarlet and Violet didn't include all the Pokemon introduced in Gen 8, and Sword and Sheild didn't include all the Pokemon introduced in Gen 7. I feel that even with the Dex Cuts it would make sense to at least include all the new mons from the previous generation.

I just realized something

Velisify is the reason the Pokemon community can't get along, Velisify is the reason there is divide in the world, Velisify makes everyone hate everything

VERLISIFY IS THE REASON WE HAVE NO WORLD PEACE

Does the Smash community have a Verlisify-styled figure, a person so hated and shunned that they are considered the Voldemort of their fandom, someone who should not be named? I don't know if DrCoeloCephalo counts since he's more related to the Yokai Watch fandom, but maybe someone else has that mantle.

I've been thinking about random superpowers, I feel having nuclear-based superpowers low key sucks. For one you can't have a social life since you'll give your freinds radiation poison, you can't overexert yourself of else you'll enter meltdown and blow up an island or something, but if you restrain yourself you can only kill people via radiation poisoning, which is incredibly messed up tbh especially if the user has some sort of conscious

Nikocado Avacado lost the weight, this is not a drill, THIS IS NOT A DRILL

I got serotonin boosts when I saw episode 3 of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger and saw the Green Ranger play Pac Man on a PSP

So does Japanese television have different standards and practices than American TV, been watching Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, and despite being the basis of Power Rangers, already shows swearing and the drinking of alcohol in the first 2 episodes alone. Is there something I am missing about Japanese television standards?
