You've guessed it. It's kind in an uraban myth that we spread to tourists, especially America can ones. They are here huge, carnivorous, and can devour your corpse after they drop on you from treetops.

Speaking in Aussie slang best helps you from being their next foreign meal. Or you can put a fork in your hair for extra measure. Vegemite is your friend, always wear it like its deodorant. Better than peeing your pants to scare one to risk embarassing yourself.

Can you at least shoot the... oh wait. Australia hates guns.

Vegemite deodorant it is. I'd rather not be bushwhacked and eaten by a fat*** marsupial that hates foreigners.

Y'know, DCEU's mess has one major problem. It's trying way too hard to be edgy. Makes me more thankful Arrowverse isn't overly edgy

JESUS SAVITAR WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOUR HEADBAND AND BARE CHEST?

 

[Chrono.]

Patamon did go to Mega level


But the less we speak about Hurricane Touchdown, the better

I forgot about it tbh.

Though Hurricane Touchdown/War Game will always be Digimon the Movie to me.

Got LEGO Dimensions in the mail!

Can't play it yet because school, but I have it.


We have our Sonic R reference folks!

 

[Yellowlord]

So its Miyamoto's birthday today, huh? Well, happy birthday to him for 64 years of history in the making at Nintendo.

I swear to YHHV if they reference that overrated Tails Doll....

But even then, people are going to be wary about it and only works on contact

I'm mainly talking about the maingame itself, but on multiplayer, no physical attacker wants to get burned so it can either force a switch and you get free damage or even if it gets KOed, you get your opponent's physical attacker burned
With an EQ immunity, Rock moves are the only real threat from physical sweepers

Oh my god I love

Spoiler

Toucannon

even more now.

And its HA is Sheer Force so if it gets rid of the Burn effect, it can trade Beak Blast's utility to sheer(pun intended) power

Spoiler

At this point, I'm thinking Toucannon might be the third best early-bird Pokemon, with Smogonbird obviously being first and Staraptor being second. Though in the maingame, Talonflame doesn't get Gale Wings so Star and Toucannon are probably the best for it

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Iwith Smogonbird obviously being first

Someone tell this man that Gale Wings got nerfed to oblivion

Well, Traveler's Tales made this game and Sonic R, that could be a possibility...

[Soul.]

You actually don't get IVs on the PC after beating the Pokémon League a second time. Apparently you get it by

Spoiler

talking to the IV checker after hatching at least 20 eggs. The checker is at the post-game battle facility

also... lol we really are getting Pokémon on Switch then. Main series pls, no spin-offs. then again, MCV said this was being developed by Game Freak, so I guess it's main series.

I'm still partial to Skill Link, honestly. Swords Dance/Beak Blast/Rock Blast/Bullet Seed and all. But Sheer Force is definitely an option.

Spoiler

Toucannon will likely be in my top three regional birds with Unfezant and Talonflame.

Someone tell this man that Gale Wings got nerfed to oblivion

Honestly the big thing Talonflame lost was priority Roost. It's still more than fast enough to outspeed most things anyway.

 

[Deleted member]

TFW you just find out you and your teacher have a common interest in fighting games. And not just casually either, he knew about all sorts of the more hardcore and competetive termonology. I was surprised.

I guess being honest about my interests does help, because usually when someone asks me what games I'm interested in, I usually answer with something more so casual rather than my more obscure yet more active interests.

 

[Deleted member]

It still has priority Brave Bird and Roost can give back its priority if it gets damaged
The nerf certainly balanced it but nowhere as near as making it lose its status as best early-bird Mon

And YOU forgot Accelerock and it's mediocre attack stat

 

[MF Viewtiful]

Speaking of fighting games.

I ought to go one of these days if only to hangout in Vegas with cool cats out there.

 

[Yellowlord]

And YOU forgot Accelerock and it's mediocre attack stat

Wait, what? Accelerock is a low damaging priority move? That's unfortunate to hear, especially after learning that the day form can be obtained in Moon.

 

[Opossum]

You forgot that sneaky pebbles exist

And YOU forgot Accelerock and it's mediocre attack stat

Step One: Lead with Talonflame
Step Two: Don't switch Talonflame in on SR.
Step Three: Have a Rapid Spinner/Defogger
Step Four: Talonflame doesn't die.


It needs SR support, but honestly, you should have that anyway.

 

[Knight Dude]

Yo. Didn't know Daytona was back. That's sick. And I'm giving my trainer cool Reverant pose or the one where he's got his fists up and ready to fight.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

They usually are weak (most priority moves a 40) but Accelerock does quadruple damage to [BRAVE BIRD] the musical.

Only gets a single BB then
What about Red Card, Roar and Dragon Tail?
This is a fair point
Talonflame isn't even that good, it's literally only OU because of BB spam

With defenses like that Midday Lycanroc will be falling on the first Brave Bird it receives lol

 

[Yellowlord]

Actually, now that I realize it, I was thinking it was weak on purpose due to its qualities. Still though, I'm all in for Talonflame having a weakness and not being an overpowered fire hawk.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I dun goofed. Thought it had higher speed. EVERYBODY SHAME ME

The only priority moves not having 40 BP are Extremespeed, Wimpod's new move and Technician users iirc

 

[WeirdChillFever]

Umm guys.

You know they nerfed Talonflame into ashes right?

Spoiler: Nerf

Gale Wings now only works when his health is full

 

[Yellowlord]

Actually, I'm curious about something related to Wimpod's evolution, speaking of which (spoiler warning):

Spoiler

Does Golisopod have a different ability from Emergency Exit or is it stuck with it? Not that it's a bad ability, but I'd prefer it to at least have a hidden ability of the sorts so you can maybe keep out on the field for a-lot longer. Based off my research, it does not seem like it has one, but that's just a guess.

You're stuck with it

It's his second ability and Hidden ability

 

[Yellowlord]

Spoiler

That's unfortunate. How am I going to get around having to see Golisopod constantly run away from being hit by a single attack in some cases? Yes, it has a great amount of priority moves, but it should be able to survive at least one-two turns before the ability activates. Maybe a Sitrus Berry would work in its favor?

Stuck with it, however, this was probably done as a gimmick, it gets 3 priority moves, it's signature move, Aqua Jet and Sucker Punch

Miyamoto is 64 years old today. Happy birthday!

I checked the latest batch of rumors a few hours ago. According to this, the GOATest Mario Kart, the new Mario game and Splatoon are coming at launch, with the latter being a pack-in game with the higher-end SKU. If true, then that's pretty good. Our dear friend Emily Rogers claimed that Mario Kart 8 would be available within the first three months of the system's launch. Kind of wish there were more new titles coming as well, but I don't know if that's happening until January 12.

Mario Kart 8 is getting more tracks, characters, and an enhanced Battle Mode, the new Mario game, playing more like Mario 64, contains a multiplayer option, and Splatoon is apparently getting a better single-player mode as well as new content.

But you already know that, so why I'm posting this?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

lol some numbnut accidentally congratulated the Miyamoto plagiarismaccount

 

[MF Viewtiful]

Since KoF is most likely going to be back at EVO with KoF XIV, I hope we get a follow-up to KoF XIII's legendary finals back in 2012.

God, it was so perfect.

Because you're hyped, friend.

Not that it isn't obvious you were already since it's not like I didn't see what you made for that one NeoGAF Switch thread.

You're clearly even more hyped now, though.

. . .What's the story behind the guy with the horse head flailing around a Mexican flag?

 

[Yellowlord]

Have to be honest, but I'm still waiting for confirmation that we're getting a port or new game of Smash for the Nintendo Switch.

 

[praline]

Man hopefully I can play as Sombra in the damn quick play and not in Arcade where any playtime doesn't count!

 

[Aetheri]

TIL my local GameStop's opening early on Friday for Sun and Moon...

Not only that...I start work later that day so I can catch an hour or two of gameplay before then...also hoping its dead at work so I can play some more during the downtime...(at the same time I'm not because I make less money but obviously pokemon's more important than paying bills)

If I recall right, the whole horsehead meme thing was at its height around the time. The player in the gif is Bala who is Mexican. KoF has a pretty big player base in Mexico actually. China too.

 

[Opossum]

Umm guys.

Spoiler: Nerf

Gale Wings now only works when his health is full

That's what this entire discussion has been about.

I don't think he was nerfed to ashes. He was nerfed, but he's still usable. First turn Brave Bird, and then he's fast enough to get a Roost out anyway. Plus he's still got things like Bulk Up, Swords Dance, Flare Blitz, Acrobatics, U-Turn, and Tailwind to play with, not to mention Z-Moves.

 

[Z25]

Does that assume you don't run into pokemon in the grass?

That was with mild to no grinding. Without really fighting wild pokemon, people seem to be right on level with other trainers if raising a full team.

And Happy Birthday Miyamoto!

It's true he will find some use. But I'm glad you won't see him on every team now. But there's always a mon or two each gen that'll get that treatment. Who's OP currently? Seems like a lot of info came out already.
