I just caught up and noticed you folks were talking about PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. I only played the beta back in 2012 and the gameplay didn't click with me.

Honestly, I wasn't very disappointed at the character roster. Crash and Spyro were two of my most wanted characters, but I wasn't expecting them because I figured that Activision would be difficult to negotiate with. Their exclusion is still unfortunate since they both were once considered Sony's unofficial mascots despite technically never being owned by the company. Both of them used to be two of PlayStation's biggest icons, but they couldn't even make it into a crossover fighting game where they would've both fit in perfectly.

I thought the first party portion of the roster was solid, though.

Isn't crossdressing a "normal" thing to do?
If people want to dress like that, it's fine, to each their own. But it's really a Japan form of humor where they come from, which is why so many things related to transexual stuff are in Japan made video games a lot.

Crossdressing doesn't make one trans however.

Hell, it doesn't even really make one gay.

After all tomboys are technically cross dressing themselves.

For some reason that's less humorous to people than a man putting on a dress whether he's straight, gay, trans (in that case she), or a drag queen.

You don't really see much humor made in the ''This chick is dressing like a dude!"

Why are we suddenly arguing about the way crosdressing is seen in Japan?

After seeing ProJared's review of Chrono Trigger,im going to play the game once again and this time i plan to beat the game.

Any recommendations about any strategy i should use?
There aren't any strategies to use since you can just play in any way, but I recommend doing all the post-Blackbird sidequests
And use Frog
And Robo
Excluding these two should warrant you a death sentence

You do have a point there. Sorry, didn't mean any offence.

Eh, I don't really think women wearing shirts or trousers is seen as cross dressing. Womens clothing lines are much more diverse than mens are. Most items of clothing made for men are made for women too.

It also helps that the game is... pretty easy.

At least compared to other 16bit RPGs

This line of thought comes from back then when women were considered inferior
So a man dressing as a woman was seen as becoming weaker and the opposite was seen becoming stronger

Ayla is a physical powerhouse
Frog has great physical and magical attacks and also has a desperate attack
Robo has balanced stats and pseudo-magic
Crono is Crono
Magus is the Mage
Marle has healing spells
But they ALL have healing spells

Oh, I know where it comes from, doesn't make it one of the types of offensive humor I actually hate (and I'm one who thinks offensive humor definitely has a place in the comedy world as it's cathartic).

It's why I only really like Tootsie and Mrs. Doubtfire when it comes to ''This man cross-dresses to achieve something!" movies.

Most of them tend to portray the lead character as lesser because they became a woman to achieve their goal.

As for men's type clothing in women's clothing lines. Not what I was discussing at all, but rather a woman going to the man's section as tomboys and butch women will and buying actual men's clothing sizes and shirts and brands.

That is in technality cross dressing or dressing like another sex, but it really doesn't have a stigma, because like was said, we see men as being strong, so we think that woman is now also strong.

I wouldn't say it's easy
It just has a balanced level curve
You can't just wind through the game mindlessly but it's not hard enough that you have to grind

Don't knock the variety of a pink dog, a living scarecrow, a cook/chef, a Marilyn Manson type rockstar, a tiny alien, a mermaid, a little brat child knight, a mother who uses her ass as a weapon, and a bunny girl, etc.

Seriously, Chrono Cross literally pulled it's characters from a hat game. So many bizarre characters.

inb4 @ Burb Burb feels offended about the size statement
Voice Chat isn't bad by itself, but considering Nintendo's quality with mics, it's worthless anyway
Not going to lie, I'm glad I at least get a feminine Link, 'No Linkle? Here's some dresses, who says the Hero of Time has to wear the same boring green skirt all the time?'
I'm a short, skinny, slightly effeminate man, so depicting me as a tiny bird isn't really a big leap. :p

I think Deathborn would be a good character to take Ganondorf's moveset so Ganondorf can have his own.
I usually see people propose this for Black Shadow rather than Deathborn.

Let's start some actual heated discussion. Friendships will be ruined.

Who's the best girl in Monster Musume? The only acceptable answers are Rachnee, Cerea, or Suu. All the others are TRASH.

This is a trick question, as there are no good characters there.

You do know that for something to be the "best", it needs to be "good" in the first place
Monster Musume got nothing of that

I have teased a few weeks ago that I was working on an article about Ganondorf in Smash Bros. for Source Gaming.

I've been working on it ever since I finished my article about clones. In fact, this was meant to be part of that article, but I decided to go more in-depth on the subject that it had to be spun-off.

I'm now announcing the article is nearly finished.

I always ditch her and start using Robo

*Heavy breathing*
Hey you were listing the pros of every character, so I was just calling you on forgetting Lucca :p

Chrono Cross has a bad rep. Is it the classic that Trigger is? No, but it's still pretty darn fun.

All opinions on this that aren't it is terrible are invalided due to the show being a harem anime, comeback and try an actual taxing question next time :p

But why did there have to be so many characters. And a fair amount of them are completely useless.

Variety and most of them are creative at least. If it was just stuff you'd typically see and there was no variety in the pack I'd get that complaining about it.
