lol I just ended up getting a Cosmoem via GTS.

Leveling up Cosmog is some BS.

Thus why Fluttershy should always stay in the bag where he belongs.

Ironically, making Blastoise a steel type would make it MUCH more flawed. It's UU, yeah, but that's by usage and that's no insult, if you're in UU you're a pretty good mon. The tier means exactly what it means, under used, and Mega Blastoise is definitely a top threat in the tier. Remember that the tiers in smogon are usage tiers except for the bordlines. The borderline tiers are for pokemon that are too powerful to be played in the tier below.(such as BL1 being banned from UU, but not OU by usage.)

Mega Blastoise actually does have a pretty good niche in OU, and that's being a tanky water type rapid spinner against certain pokemon that set up stealth rocks such as Landorous-T, Garchomp, and even Ferrothorn. However, making it a steel type would make it loose this niche and be destroyed by common offensive pokemon(such as the former two I mentioned, and sweepers such as the Mega Zards no longer have to worry about the fire resistance), not only that but steel type not being that good of a offensive typing anyway.(Mega Blastoise already suffers from four slot syndrome anyway.)

Really, you'd have to change it from scratch to make it that good of a pokemon. The problem is that the Mega slot is so valueable that people are always going to go for the most viable option possible. Not to mention a ton of competion from water types both in OU and UU. Such as Keldeo, Azumarill, and Starmie in OU. And Crawdaunt, Feralgatr, and Gyrados in UU.

Feralgatr being better than Gyrados nowadays anyway thanks to sheer force. If Feralgatr got a mega it'd easily be OU unless they were to screw it up, even regular Feralgatr is surprisingly viable in OU. But that's a whole different topic.

I've finally got the chance to get into Dragon's Dogma after getting a while back from the Steam Winter sale. I barely scratched the surface of the game, but there's a ton going on in there. The setting is of bit generic fantasy but the combat is extremely satisfying so far with a lot of room to expand upon. Seeing as the director of Devil May Cry 3 worked on this game, it's no surprise that the combat hits all the right spots. Also of note is the party/pawn system. You get these ai partners that not only feel useful, but learn and adapt to the situation. There's a lot of customization options with these guys and even recruiting options from other players. I'm looking forward to diving even more into this game. I'd already recommend this to peeps looking for a meaty and satisfying action rpg.

Take a peep at my squad for now. Adventuring is be had soon enough.

One of my favorite anime musics ever lol.
The Baccano soundtrack in general is amazing, because I love the jazz genre. Do you listen to jazz at all?

If I could, I'd have jazz liquidated so I could pump it into my veins.

I love big band, spy, gypsy, hard bop, acid, (technically not jazz tho), and recently smooth and fusion jazz.

If you like games and jazz, I'd recommend the YouTube "Insaneintherain" channel, which is after the likes of Snarky Puppy.

Would a different ability suit him better

I just feel like he needs SOME kind of buff

Maybe a Rapid Spin that isn't normal type, like maybe a rock rapid spin, lol

Edit: Or maybe Heal Pulse or something. I dunno

Nah, just want to go to one video without Harambe parody accounts and "****s out for Harambe". Or YouTubers making blatant Harambe jokes like the Miyamoto video.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

Finally beat Titan Souls. Took me 6 hours and over 350 lives...
There's still a few end-game bosses and a secret boss to do but I'll save that for replayability. This is one more game removed from my backlog of....now 6 .

IMO The Dab would have to be the worst meme of 2016 (Harambe gripes aside).

Is it supposed to be a dance? Why does almost every fanart of Spark depict him doing that?

Then there's Dat Boi. Is there any point to it other than a random frog riding a unicycle?

Got like 7-10 different fillings for my teeth last year in addition to a root canal. Mainly because I was an idiot about my dental habits since I was a pre-teen/teen until then.

The only thing that really hurts IMO is when they put the needle to make you nonsensitive to the dental work and the aftermath of the drill which hurts like a MoFo afterwards lol.

A question related to Shantae:

Should I play Pirate's Curse first or would it be possible to go into Half Genie Hero having never actually played a Shantae game before?

I will admit, despite being a huge supporter (and the new thread owner) for the Shantae support thread back in the speculation days during 2015, I never actually played any of the games in the series, although I did watch gameplay.

Ryce just posted this on Neogf in regards to Marvel Infinite:



http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=227377219&postcount=2994

Betting on Asura.

So basically, it's either:
-a character that is much different from humanoid characters, like Amaterasu or a Monster from Monster Hunter. Potentially, it could also be a humanoid character with a decent amount of model changes
-a character that would be hard to make a moveset with and they would need to be very original, like with Phoenix Wright
-a character that could mess with the Age Rating, like a Tyrant from Resident Evil
-a character that requires a license, whether it'd be actor's likeness, like Samonosuke from Onimusha or a character that is co-owned, like Strider
-a character that Marvel was very picky about, like a character that would change their characters' models, like Demetri
-a character that Capcom was picky about, like a character they weren't interested in using, but got convinced to put in by the developers
-a character that Ryce just really likes and is very happy that the character got in the game

TvC's giant characters were still pretty humanoid though. And unless the monster is one of the actually big ones, like Dalamadur and Fatalis, most monsters in Monster Hunter can be human-sized, even in the main series and not just after Monster Hunter Stories came out. And a monster like Brachydios wouldn't be that hard to implement, considering it's one of the most humanoid monsters in the series.

Nah, if Jedah was in this game. Him alone would make the game 18+. (Except if they censor his move, but then, it is really Jedah?)
He will be better in Mortal Kombat to be honest.
Too bad, while he is one of my favourite character in Darkstalker, his great design is what make unable to go into more fighting game, what a shame...

It's also just come to my attention that Ryce has mentioned that they're a Capcom villain.

List of notable Capcom villains (besides Sigma who is already in) are:

Spoiler

Megaman: Dr. Wily, Protoman, Bass, Vile, Gate

Strider: Grandmaster Meio

Ghosts and Goblins: Astaroth, Sardius

Onimusha: Fortinbras, Oda

Devil May Cry: Mundus, Arius, Vergil

Warzard: Scion

Biohazard: Wesker, Nemesis, Ustanak

Rival Schools: Hyo, Kurow

Street Fighter: Bison, Gill, Urien, Seth

Darkstalkers: Demitri, Bishamon (The armor is plain demonic) , Raptor, Jedah and Pyron. (Yeah, Darkstalkers characters are mostly all evil with few exceptions)

They both have their own strengths. Do you prefer platforming or exploring dungeons? Platforming is HGH's specialty

Pirate's Curse is unlike ANY of the Shantae games

Risky's Revenge is the same price as Pirate's Curse so that game would be better to start off wit, especially with Risky Mode in HGH

Due to smash speculation I decided to try Shantae.

I admit, sometime after finishing Pirates Curse I wanted her much less haha. Idk why it could be a problem to go straight to 1/2 genie hero, tho pirates curse is also a great game.

 

[Yellowlord]

I suppose I tend to prefer platforming in most cases, especially when it involves removing enemies from the screen. Seems like I should go straight to HGH.

Oh yeah, a bit unrelated, but I hatched a Shiny Grubbin yesterday.

That last part is a bit objective imo.. Feraligatr does get sheer force life orb boost but it's move set is still limited to crunch/aqua jet, waterfall, and ice punch (obviously going to be running DD because of speed issues) Gyarados still has more options and a better move pool with dark stab upon mega evolution.. in short one you can easily guess what it has, while the other is harder to tell..

I didn't exactly count the Monsters from Monster Hunter for a number of reasons, but mostly because there isn't any real antagonism to the monsters other than "Hunt or Be Hunted."

The only noteworthy "villain" in a Monster Hunter game that actually was more than just a Hunt or Be Hunted situation was Gore Magala and that was because it was very unknown, it was doing lots of damage wherever it went, it messed up many Ecosystems, it has a Final Form, and even after it died, its aftereffects were still doing a ton of damage, especially with the rise of the Apex Monsters. It did alot more damage compared to the usual Elder Dragon.

Since it's been two days and we've had a good number of votes, here are the final results for the favorite arm blade Pokemon poll:

In 4th Place: Leavanny, Pawniard, and Fomantis. All three had 0 votes.
In 3rd Place: Kabutops, Mega Garchomp, Escavelier, Lurantis, and Kartana. All five only had 1 vote.

And now we get to 2nd place: It was a three-way tie between these Pokemon:

Scyther, Gallade, and Bisharp all received 3 votes.

And the 1st place winner...

is Sceptile!

Sceptile achieved a solid lead at 5 votes in the end!

Congratulations, Sceptile! It looks like you're the top fan-favorite arm blade Pokemon here in Nintenzone!

My thoughts:

Not surprised Leavanny, Pawniard, and Fomantis didn't get any votes. Leavanny isn't very popular as a Pokemon, while the latter two are basically overshadowed by their evolutions.

The 3rd Place finishers weren't much of a surprise either, but I thought Mega Garchomp wasn't going to get a single vote since it's generally much less popular compared to its normal counterpart. I'm happy Lurantis got at least one vote.

As much as I wanted ma boi Gallade to win it, I'm happy he at least made second place to prove his popularity. It was no surprise that Scyther and Bisharp did pretty well too. Scyther is especially popular when it comes to arm blade Pokemon: it's the original one after all. Bisharp is one of the more popular Generation 5 Pokemon, and I bet its usefulness in competitive also helps its popularity (fun fact: he even forms an awesome team core with Gallade; talk about arm blade bros!)

Sceptile is already very popular as a Pokemon, and considering how it gained more momentum following ORAS, it seemed like it taking the gold wasn't a surprise at all.

I can agree with that. I mean there isn't much depth of the character in the individual monsters and most of them don't make a significant impact in the story at all. So they couldn't be counted as "villains" but as well...monsters.
But Capcom doesn't have the most story-based games in general so it would be hard to find a good villain anyway.
If anyone, I would choose Miles Edgeworth from Phoenix Wright. I don't have much experience playing the games but I watched quite a bit of gameplay and he seems like one with depth (relative to other Capcom villains at least).

Also I SHOULD HAVE VOTED! I Love Leavanny!
