The only thing that bothers me about recoveries in Smash 4 is that pretty much every character can return from the very edge of the KO line bar like, 2 or 3.

Seems dumb, but oh well.

What?

Rest is amazing. It's just tricky to use.

Have you seen HBox play Smash 4?
Puff's Rest?

LOL no. It's better than Brawl since it has easier setups now than before and better range. Besides, Dark Dive will never be worst than :4drmario: Super Jump Punch, :4megaman: Leaf Shield nor :4palutena: Counter AKA The Worst Counter in the Game
Oh, I'm sorry.
Rest IS amazing.
I meant Sing.

I think if they tweaked Air Dodging the massive boost to recoveries wouldn't be so bad. Hard to say, though.

It still saddens ne that Puff isn't good in Smash 4. It's good in Doubles because you get a lot of KOs with Rest, but in Singles it's just so depressing.

The naming conventions for Rest and Sing always confuses me. >.>
I always call Sing "Rest" because it makes people rest...
And the fact Rest doesn't sound like a stupidly strong move
Sing is definitely arguable for worst non-custom move in the game. With its ledge cancel though, you can at least do this against a careless opponent (of course no one decent should ever fall for that)
With customs, Sing IS the worst! Spinphony is garbage

Idk. I think Sing is pretty good, but it's just one of those moves that not everyone can use properly since it's more of a mind-game type move. I tend to fool tournament players with it, and sometimes people get caught off guard thinking just cause the animation is almost over you can avoid it and they end up being put to sleep.

Sing is not what I would call a good move, but it can be pretty fun to use online because a lot of people underestimate its range and get put to sleep while trying to punish.

The magnet ledges only make it even more dumb. There are times where you definitely should've died but nope.

My only problems with Smash 4's offstage game are air dodges having too little vulnerability in the air, and edge trumping not being reliable enough to be a consistent countermeasure to opponents going for the ledge. I think the recoveries themselves are fine and the claims of them being OP are exaggerated. A few more frames of ending lag to air dodges and at least removing the ability to avoid edge trumps by buffering a getup would help quite a bit to evening things out.

You know,it's too late trying to catch up to this thread going up 20+ pages just in one day, mostly from "leaks" and appearently Sonic discussion... Sonic discussion... the one day I decide to take a break from this site, you all do a Sonic discussion without me...

:sadsheep:


Eh, oh well. Just I'll just say;

Sonic 2 and Sonic 3&Knuckles are my favorite 2D Sonic games, period.

I like 3 over 2, but I like 2's aesthetics over 3 just a bit.

@Akxareth I demand you play S3&K nao. I'm serious. Sandopolis Zone or not, I better see Hyper Sonic by the end of this day.

My favorite 3D Sonic game is Adventure 2 Unleashed. Werehog aside ( I don't hate it like others do) It's the game that brought me faith back into Sonic after that unspoken game that came prior before it. *cough06cough*

@ Swamp Sensei Swamp Sensei to answer a bit of your question here;

Go ahead and say what you think about all the main series games. Then a dress spinoff of your choice.
All I'll say is, Sonic has fittingly gone through loops in quality (Screw you Shadow the Hedgehog and shame on you 06 and Boom) but still has some great games, like I mentioned above. And well, I guess if the Advance series counts, I'd bring up Advance 3, since it's the only one I have played. Oh, and Sonic R. Yeah I said it.

And Chao Garden. Don't care if that doesn't count, still love that **** too death.

No problem.

And well, back to bed I go.

I haven't even read Wu's article yet to see what all the fuss is about.

Honestly, her heart is in the right place, but her brain is up her ass and her logic is flawed.

It's quoting one member of the team who made metroid years ago who doesn't work on them now and was never really in charge. The man called Samus a "shemale."

And frankly I don't think Wu's heart is even in the right place.

Yeah it is.

I also just found out why she and other extreme feminists taking things so seriously:

Wooooow. Like, even if she thought "Nintendo of Florida" was real, the poor grammar and "ur" should have been a good tip-off.

EDIT: Oh, and the part where they're telling her to come get a medal.

I stopped reading after the article complained about how there only 14 games with black female protagonists and how Danganronpa and Persona have terrible examples of transgender characters despite the article being about Samus, who's white and the fact both examples she calls terrible aren't even trans. That's the beginning. The fact the article has 'Deal with it' in the title and a misused quote from what I hear makes it worse, especially as Yoshio Sakamoto said 'As likely as it is for Samus to be a ******' or something in response to someone asking if Prime would get a PS2 port iirc

Wait. She thought Persona had trans characters?

What is her definition of trans? Because I think she just labeled a tomboy one.

Why do I not believe her?
It gets worse, Wu wasn't the only one who wrote that. The other author ranted about how she wants diversity for the sake of it, complaining about how Zelda, Link, Tails and Poison shouldn't be called cisgendered. She's got a point on Poison, but she literally said she'd ignore facts. Then there's how Wu complained about Xenoblade Chronicles, a game where the average playtime is over 100 hours, not having a female character in the first 2 hours despite how Fiora is at the beginning and the facts NPCs exist. She even says 'It's not acceptable for a 2015 game' despite how Xenoblade came out in 2009
Wait. She thought Persona had trans characters?

Naoto thought she had to be a guy in order to be a good detective or something because all her idols and rolemodels were male or something so I understand the confusion a bit

Poison is trans so I agree with her there.

But how are Link, Zelda and Tails trans?

Link I guess you could argue is the player but Zelda identifies as a woman in every game. Even as Sheik, she's still a woman in her mind. And how is Tails, a child,trans?

If this is all real, then... gah.

Link wears a skirt and outright crossdresses in Triforce Heroes. Wind Waker actually shows Link unhappywith the classic green tunic. And kids can be trans, but Tails acknowledges he's a guy, probably his voice actress. She whined about how Vivian is the only respected trans character despite that simply not being true

I beleve she messed up the history of the Japanese word "newhalf". It never had to do with "half" (half Japanese). According to Japanese Wikipedia "newhalf" started out as a joke on some sort of comedy group. The person apparently said something like "I'm half women and half man" to which the other person said "oh you are a newhalf" or something. I'm recalling from the top of my head right now, so don't take my word 100%.

Well Vivian is trans in most languages actually.

Regardless, let's move on from this...


Swamp is sad and doesn't need this kind of stuff. I refuse to talk about it but let's talk about happy things okay?

I've seen people literally call Poison bad trans representation because she's a scheming money maker who is also a gang member.

Yet I've notice something as a member of the LGBTQ community, when we say we want equal representation. We still want only straight white males to be the villains or be morally questionable individuals.

The moment a member of a minority is a bad guy that is a person of color or any of the labels of the beautiful rainbow. It's bad representation.

No matter how fantastic the character is, how well respect they are, how good they are what they do, etc.

And I just have to say:

Screw you.

Yes, I want positive representation of all people.

But I also want interesting, flawed, sometimes evil, some morally corrupt, people of all creeds.

Because that's called REALITY.

I think that's kind of ridiculous. Not gonna knock on Wu or anything since I don't know much about her, but I see this sentiment in other places on the internet.

Like, any time a character defies gender roles some people suggest that the character is trans. That kind of thinking just reaffirms gender roles, if anything. I totally get why some people want to see more trans characters in games- it's nice to feel represented and that's a privilege I have that others don't... but c'mooooooon.

Honestly, Poison being the bad girl is what makes her interesting. It's part of her charm. Plus it's not like she's unlikable or unsympatheric. She's good her good points too.

Poison's one of my favourites as a casual who looks at the characters solely based on the characters themselves, she can get **** done and isn't afraid of getting her hands dirty, especially in style. See Evil Ryu's high heel rage. The fact she's more of a villain also helps because villains tend to be more interesting than the actual protagonists imo

She's not quite a villain though. She's more of a thug than anything.

The best thing about Poison is that her trans nature barely plays into her character. She's literally just portrayed as a savy woman who goes after what she wants, gets **** done, and flirts with all the guys that she wants and has a ton of success doing it!

She's honestly so ****ing confident in who she is and what she does that it baffles me that people hate her because she's not entirely on the side of good.

Hence why i said 'more of a villain' as I'm not too sure if she counts as an anti hero. Regardless, protagonists aren't usually as interesting as anti heros and antagonists

You hit the nail on the head. We don't need more LGBT characters for the sake of LGBT characters. We need LGBT characters done right, as LGBT isn't a ****ing factor in personality. Case and point, Jesus from Walking Dead comics and some guy in Borderlands iirc
