Im really happy that Smash has abandoned the "MUH gritty epic realism" from Brawl. I appreciated Melee's greater details on character design (even if models of characters like DK and Yoshi aged like Milk under the Sun) and i understand that to some,Smash 4 and Ultimate's arstyles look duller in comparison (even if i consider Ultimate's artstyle to be the best in the series, @ me if you dare), but i hated Brawl's murky 2008's real is brown stuff, every character that wasn't Snake or the TP cast looked really lousy on that artstyle, and the fact that they added TOON Link in that Smash entry of all things was a really dumb move in hindsight.

Remixes are never better than the origi-
I really regret deleting my accounts, Tord the Red Leader and Absolutely Not Speedwagon. Mostly because i love reading through my older posts and see what i used to think and say, and remind me of different days, seeing how much i have changed.
But now in order to see my posts, i have to basically search for a needle in a haystack, and the only one at fault is me.Every time i hear the Song "Toy Soldiers" by Martika, i can't help but think of that one weird-ass movie: Small Soldiers. You know, the one where G.I Joe knockoffs go haywire and ****.
Turns out the movie was called Small Soldiers and NOT Toy Soldiers, which is the name of an unrelated 1991 Movie, which is also the name of an also unrelated video game from 2010, which is getting a modern re-release on Switch, PS4, Xbox On-what was i talking about again? eh.........
Oh yeah! Did you know there's a Japanese Cover of the song by Martika herself?
After seeing the absolute abomination that was the Leaked PPG CW script, im honestly so damn happy that Ed Edd N Eddy have fell from the face of the earth since 2009.
People should know to let things go before they turn into................this.Warren Ellis explaning why he didn't played the Castlevania games despite adapting the series.
Warren Ellis explaining why he didn't want to add Grant because he was a pirate and because of his name, while also adding a VIKING named Godbrand.
Netflixvania fans explaining why Isaac is the best super mega deep character of all time.
Netflixvania fans explaining why we need to know about the sex life of the characters.
Netflixvania fans explaining why swearing and raunchy humor makes it mature.
Netflixvania fans explaning why using the source material doesn't matter, while also getting angry at the sheer idea of using anything from the source material.
Netflixvania fans explaning why a 1-second reference makes the adaptation faithful to the source material.Toriyama: NOOOOOOOO GOKU IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A HERO STOP IDEALIZING HIM AND MAKING HIM BETTER AS A PERSON NO, NOOOOOOOOO.
Also Toriyama: Rewrites Bardock from a sadistic brute who represents the natural bruality of the Saiyan race into a calm caring person who cares for his Son.
Also Toriyama AGAIN: Rewrites Broly from an evil monster that only wants destruction to a sympathetic villain (plaese don't hurt my friends or i'll get le triggers)
Am i the only one who sees a problem with this?A lot of people feel and want to be like Rocky, but most of the time, people end up like Paulie.The Virgin Bowsette:
-Basically almost became a thing in Mario Odyssey , but was scrapped for good reason.
-Most well known fan design looks out of place compared to the rest of Mario cast, both male and female or human or non-humanoid.
-Is just an excuse for people to lewd a female character (as if there are not enough female Nintendo characters for that, poor Galaar)
-Female Bowser was already a thing with Bowletta, but because it didn't looked like Peach no one gave a ****.
THE CHAD Scripulous Fingore:
-Never actually was supposed to be a Mario Enemy, but it should.
-Fits really well with most of Mario's Rouge Gallery.
-People started to put him in other Mario games as a mock up, looks really good.
-An enemy like this has never been in a Mario game before.
The superior Fan-made Mario character is clear.The Noid meets Crash is probably the weirdest crossover of this yea-
"SEVEN DEADLY SINS CROSSES OVER WITH STRANGER THINGS"
.......Nevermind.I wanted to be Yamcha dammit.The GBA is officially Twenty Years Old now (well, it was last week, but i forgot to mention it)So how many bucks for betting that Smahboard's prank of this year will be related to Mario's "Death"Is like someone saw the new TMNT trailer and said "hey, remember when Konami did an Asterix and Obelix game? let's do another one!"
Not that im complaining.You know you are getting older when you look back at Youtube videos and channels you used to watch.......and are from over a decade ago.YES.
YES.Jimmy Neutron is officially connected to Touhou Project AND Undertale. How? Because like both of them, it was featured in a Taiko Drum Master game.
No, im not kidding:
There are many mysteries on Earth, one of them being that if OneAngryGamer was a fever dream or not.Now, i'm not an "Animu artstyle Hater" (i did enjoy Pyra being announced, best character DLC since Banjo) but i do wonder How the people that vehemently throw mud at "Anime JRPG Rep haters" and defend these characters would react if Fighter Pass was:
-Tails.
-Slime.
-Banjo.
-Crash.
-Bandanna Dee.
-Min Min.
-Steve.
-Geno.
-Dixie Kong.Man i can' believe Rex got snubbed.
Green Haired Girl: -Cries in Spoilers-
Rocky Balboa!Im all for characters playing with the movesetes from their source material (Simon, Mega Man) but i draw the line when they bring major mechanics and try to implement complex mechanics like Magic Resources and Jesus Christ why did Sakurai had to put SF1 mechanics in Ryu and Ken there's a ****ing reason ALL SF games after 1 use a 6 button layout instead of 2 pressure sensitive buttons.
and less said about Steve, the better.By next year, the Wii U will be a decade old. and this year Melee becomes Twenty Years old.Technically speaking, Sesame Street and Rick and Morty are connected thanks to the Simpsons.Merry Christmas you filthy animals.BlameitonJorge's Lost Media Iceberg video:
-DEATH AUDIO
-LIVE SUICIDE ON TV
-CANIBALISM
-Chris Farley as Shrek
This is not me trying to pull a "Arson, Muder and Jaywalking" joke, it literally goes like that.
Next time try to divide the "lost fiction like games and films and shows" Lost media and " Footage of real horrifying events not made public" Lost Media. It's really akward to bounce between one and the other like that.Me: Im gonna go in full detail with a new Castlevania iceberg explanation, it can't be that bad.
Me a few weeks later:
SIMON IS A DHAMPIR KRESNIK STROGOI PERVERT WHO FOUGHT OPTIMUS PRIME, CAN SKATEBOARD AND WAS GOING TO TURN INTO A WEREWOLF AND HAVE A GUN IN CASTLEVANIA 1The greatest tragedy in gaming is that we will never know the artist behind Castlevania X68k's Cover Art. That Cover Art has my favorite depiction of Simon ever. Even more so than Ultimate's version which is a very close second:
I would pay some money to see this artist give us more Art of this particular Simon plus some other characters of the franchise.It's weird. Despite my having a huge dislike over Kojima's redhead Simon, it's the only redesign by Ayami Kojima that i actively dislike. The others i like just fine (Richter, Dracula) and others i find superior over the original (Alucard) but Simon? no thanks please stick to Classic Barbarian thanks. It's why im really happy about his implementation in Smash, best design of the newcomer roster in my opinion.Fans of Ecchi stuff like Senran Kagura basically use the "You need a very High IQ to understand Rick and Morty" copypasta Meme, but unironically.If the Melee intro's 3 characters are any indication, im pretty sure if F-Zero survived after FX we would have gotten Samurai Goroh in the roster. Ridley and Wolf got in, and the only reason i see Goroh beign stuck to AT is because his series died.The Wonder Boy games from Monster Land onwards feel like what a non-gamer would desribe old school games, beign this weird platformer-adventure hybrid. Im not saying this in a bad way though.
I wish Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest aged as Gracefully as Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap, that game shows even if it lacks depth in equipment and/or lenght you can still have a fun 8-bit Pseudo-Non-Linear adventure game.If the Netflix staff couldn't figure out a way to fit Grant into Castlevania 3's adaptation then i guess it's fair to say Maria Renard is pretty much gonna sit on the sidelines for the Rondo of Blood adaptation.HOLY **** GUYS THERE'S A FREE UPDATE FOR BUG FABLES WITH NEW CONTENT!
Play Bug Fables btw.Nathan Graves is lowkey the most underrated Castlevania protag ever. Both in powers and design.
Not only is he one of the most versatile CV heroes out there using CARDS of all things to make some crazy spells, His design looks great and manages to distance itself from the barbaric look of the earlier Belmonts without looking unnecessarily effeminate gothic guy like many of Ayami Kojima's characters designs (who i always found to be an overrated artist as much as Amano) I always though Kazuko Fujihara was a more appropiate evolution of the Castlevania series arstyle in my opinion.
If there was a Castlevania Warriors, he would be in my top Five Alongside Simon, Grant Dantasty, Frankenstien's Monster and Soma (i never said that i hated all of Ayami's characters's)Try guessing the name of the game with this clue:
"I beat two giant Zombie Dragons who are damage sponges, and all i got was the ability to push crates"I always like it when a "Scrappy" character gets a sudden popularity boost, either because of beign vindicated by history, growing a loyal fanbase, or even because of Memes.
As someone who roots for the underdog, i hope the likes of Grant Danasty and the US Sports Team get this.The Virgin New Face Team:
-Name literally stopped making sense after KOF 97.
-Are actually a bunch of evil assholes who want to destroy humanity.
-Only entered KOF out of jealousy because their concert got cucked by Iori Yagami.
-Probably don't train that much and rely only on their Orochi strenght.
-Have control over the elments, yet still lost to an angry school boi, Sernan Kagura, and the redhead who cucked them
-Team Composed of a Shota, a Thot, and a White Haired weirdo.
-Never entered a KOF tournament legally, stole somone else's invitation because they didn't knew KOF was about to begin.
-Chris is Swede, you probably didn't knew becuase he instead looks like the "Virgin" guy.
-Managed to revive their god, still lost.I always found it funny that Yuki, Kyo Kusanagi's girlfriend, a character from the company that gave us Mai Shiranui, Athena, Leona, Blue Mary, Shermie, Angel and others, is among the most plain looking character out of all:
Shame she was only playable in SNK Gals Fighters, she would have been a fun addition to SNK Heroines (more so than Genderbent characters) and actual KOF characters as a "Fighting Clown" secret character.The US Sports Team should have been KOF mainstays, or at least been more common instead of beign relegated to just KOF 94 and 98. Their absence in XIII was a missed opportunity since a lot of old school SNK concepts came back in that game (Kyo going back to his old school KOF 94-95 moveset, Athena and Kensou using their Psycho Soldier outfits, and a lot of teams going to the more traditional groups like Terry, Andy and Joe) so bringing them back there would have been good.
Doesn't help that a lot of Ash Saga character designs were god awful and try hard, i'll take's Brain Battler's "Dull" design over whatever the hell most of those characters brought to the table. Don't even get me started on XIV and Sylvia Paula whatever, or Discount Organization XIII Member. -
