Some people in here can't wait for the Switch Presentation.

Meanwhile...

I can't take waiting for Capcom to reveal more characters and other features for MvC:I. The speculation is murdering me.

Except Scott doesn't really keep the money.
He donates it to charity.
Finally someone here that know that Scott isn't a greedy guy who keep milking the franchise for the sake of money. Heck, Jim Sterling did a entire episode on him as to why he is probably one of the best indie developper of those last years! (I mean, maybe not one of the best. But still alot better than some....others indie developper that I won't mention here)

Oh... 0_0

My bad, I meant Switch, not Smash. Guess that shows what I have on my mind right now.

Alright, it's been a few days since I've seen Rogue One, so I've got my thoughts put together a bit on it.

>The characters are all pretty boring aside from the robot making the funnies.

>At least the Force Awakens had a lot more character interaction, or at least interaction with emotion attached to it. And I can actually remember the characters names without having to look them up. :p

>Why the heck didn't Saw just go with them? He could've backed up Jyn so that the Alliance would actually believe her. I get that they needed to kill him off, I guess, but I wish they did it in a better way than shear lack of will. It just made his character seem more confusing more than anything.(Like he really wants to help out and the alliance to defeat the empire, but nah, better stay behind.)

>The action and cinematography is pretty good though, which I expected from Edwards. The dude just needs a great writer and his films would be fantastic.

>Though I do wonder, why the heck they did just instantly deploy AT-ATs just for ten dudes, or even just infantry in general. They're huge imprecise weapon that'd be good for assault on something such as a base and other vehicles. Not so much ground forces especially when they're so few and on your OWN BASE. You're gonna blow your own **** up! At least use AT-STs, or you know, the stormtroopers you had first.

>Speaking of which, the main cast is far too untouchable. Yeah, they all die at the end, but the way they die much less so makes them feel like the empire is a force to be reckoned with and more so for when it's time to be dramatic. The stormtroopers feel like complete goofballs much like they did in A New Hope. But in defense of that, that was just suppose to be your average, corny, adventure film.(That ended up having great, relatable(auto correct doesn't know this word exists) characters.) This is suppose to be a war movie showing how rough it is for the rebellion and such. But in the movie, even though they say things are so rough, we hardly ever see that considering that they can just plow through stormtroopers with no struggle whatsoever.

>Combine Overwatch Stormtroopers though. :p (They were cool, at least they posed a threat and killed off people. More of that from the empire and less jobbing please.)

>Honestly, this film would probably received just as well as the prequels if it weren't for the "HOLY **** I KNOW DAT THING" and having great action and effects, and the funny quips. The former reason not being because of fan service... I mean, obviously they'd have to connect to other movies since this is a Star Wars film, but it's just how people tend to over hype those things to the point that if it weren't Star Wars or didn't use much from the OT like the prequels, I wonder how well this would've been received.

>The Jyn and Cassian had to fall in love last second, really? This has to be the most over done cliche ever, where the lead has to fall in love with the other prominent character of the opposite gender without any sort of bonding that'd lead to love. It's like the awkward dudes people make fun of for thinking that a girl loves him if a girl likes him as a friend. Love doesn't work like that, or at least, love that lasts anyway.

>Hey, let's just blow up all of are resources on the planet with the death star even though we can easily just had the seal six storm trooper dudes exterminate them. You know, the guys you blew up since there's still probably some arrive. Or hell, have Vader on the planet himself there too. People say how 'dark' this film is for killing everyone, why not just have Vader violent kill the two remaining protagonists instead of the some random rebels? Speaking of that....

>I know that it ends with the start of a new hope. But it's not like it's EXACT. In fact, the rebel ship with Leia gets away anyway, it's not like the exact moment from A New Hope. The ending in the film is still before the encounter where Vader and Stormtroopers go in again and capture Leia.

>I think it's possible that this can be viewed as prequel quality to many after time goes by and hype dies down. As well as the effects aging.

Would they give Cyrus a Mega Weavile or go the lazy route of Mega Gyarados
I think it depends on whether or not DP remakes would add more Mega Evolutions. If we get more Megas, Weavile seems like a great candidate to be among them, so it wouldn't surprise me that Cyrus would own a Mega Weavile since its already his signature Pokemon. If we don't get new Megas, yeah, I fear they'll go the lazy route and give him a Mega Gyarados, but that also depends on whether or not the remakes would actually incorporate the Megas into the main story instead of making them a post-game only deal like what Sun/Moon did.

Another possibility is that one of Cyrus's Pokemon could end up having a Z-Crystal. That's assuming the DP remakes come out in generation 7, and GameFreak somehow finds a way to incorporate the Z-Crystals into the story similar to how ORAS added the Mega Evolutions to Hoenn's plot.

I'm hoping it does, there are some gen 4 pokemon I think could use Megas

Specifically Porygon-Z. Something interesting, so you'd have to pick Z-Conversion or the Mega. Each with their advantages and disadvantages.

Stars/Sinnoh Remakes could potentially reveal additional Megas due to the fans verbalizing their disappointment in the lack of new Megas. I for one hope they do, but this time don't make them so ridiculous. They've already shown interest in fixing the M.E. system. Like Mega Kangaskhan for example. Okay yeah- the issue's still there, but they still showed interest in patching the issues. Hell they even fixed the Speed shift, which for a lot of Megas is huge. Like Mega Baedrill.

Pokémon I'd like to see with Megas includes the Starters, naturally. And ironically, they could use the boost. Pokémon like Cherrim, Staraptor, and Rampardos are also good candidates, in my opinion.

Would love to get mega's of the gen 4 starters especially since I have had the same one I picked for near a decade and only recently I transferred him out of Diamond and brought him to Omega Ruby. So it be nice to mega evolve him.

Mega Bastiodon.

Imagine the defense.
The problem with that is that it doesn't really have much to utilize and there's much better stallers out there. It's typing is terrible is also terrible and allows it to die, very, very easily even despite those defenses, it doesn't even have the HP to back up those defenses so it can survive.(And Megas can't increase HP.) Not only that, but unlike something like Aggron, it's offensive stats are terrible. And Mega Aggron is luckily just pure steel, maybe then they could do the same for Bastiodon. Then it'd work. Though Bastiodon in general is literally just Probopass with less momentum because Probopass has volt switch. And the Mega would probably either be just increase it's attack and defenses a bit(Which I think is the better option), or raise the defenses drastically to be still less physically defensive than Mega Steelix and/or Aggron, but also still way more special defense. But also still just a sitting duck that can't really strike back or recover.

Mega Rampardos could end up pretty good with a speed boost

Edit: Also give him "Accelerock"

Mega Infernape. Y'all know you want to see it.

Aside from the starters, I wouldn't mind seeing something for Magmortar. Maybe make it's special defense better and have be slightly faster. That could be cool. Electivire would go in the opposite route.

+ Life Orb/ Sheer Force

And STAB, 60 base damage Accelerock
Well, assuming it gets a Mega, you couldn't use the Life Orb with it. But it could be a good alternative.

165+ base Attack Accelrock.

Jesus Christ, that thing would shoot straight to OU.
The only problem that, unless they gave it some major defensive investment, it'd die very, very, very easily. Bullet and mach Punch users would especially destroy it, the same goes for sucker punch users even. Not to mention the many bulky pokemon that resist it and destroy Rampardos easily in return.

...Oh yeah. Well, if he doesn't get a mega simply having accelerock would be devastating

It wouldn't get the Sheer Force boost. Accelrock's priority isn't considered a secondary effect.

No need for Life Orb. Band that ******* and just Accelrock everything. A priority Rock-Type attack is damn good as is, but being backed by STAB, Band and 165 BP? Good lord, man.

I was just thinking about how sheer force allows a life orb boost without dealing damage

But yeah, actually just banding would probably be better anyway

As a Mega, I would defiantly see it in OU. Especially if it got bulk. Its HP base is actually pretty good, so giving it better Def/SpD would be a godsend. Especially under Sand.

As it is? I agree completely. Accelrock wouldn't be enough for it to be OU.

Yeah, if it were to recieve the right stat balances it would definitely at LEAST be UU at it's worst if there were some OU pokemon hindering it. It'd be able to counter a lot of strong threats aside from the ones that counter it.(Pretty much everything I said before, Ground, Steel and Fighting types, and also all of the priority moves I mentioned, though I forgot about aqua jet.)

Well LO/Sheer Force could be an interesting strategy if you use Fire Blast for Scizor/Ferrothorn switch-ins.

But without buffs to it's bulk, as I said, Accelrock wouldn't be enough. Considering Megas, besides Megazam, gets a 100 base point boost, I'm fairly certain Rampardos would get some form of bulk.

It would already check no sash Pheromosa, which is pretty nifty in the current meta.

At the end of the day however, Rampardos will likely never get Accelrock, and GF may limit it to just Midday. I hope not but even if they spread the love, knowing GF they'd give it to the wrong Pokémon. But through Mega Evolving, it could get Rock Head, and depending on its stat buffs, Rampy could be a serious wallbreaker.

As an ability, I'd probably give Mega Rampardos "Rock Head"

I think it would be appropriate

Especially with his signature attack, Head smash

I guess we had the same idea

Wait, it's still in OU? That's surprising. Though then again, in ubers it would be pretty weak. Just like Celesteel ended up being.(Ho-oh and Dialga counter it completely no matter what set it runs, for instance. Not to mention it's potentially easy set up fodder.)

But still, I remember them considering banning it because it is just a weaker Deoxys to a certain extent, but I guess they didn't go through with that yet. But looking into it, apparently there's even threats in OU that can shut down Pheromosa with little problem.

Buzzwole seems to be the best UB to use in Ubers, surprisingly thanks to checking a lot of prominent physical attackers in the tier. But even then it still struggles outside of that role as it's easily killed by special attackers and the huge flying weakness means that very common Ho-oh and Salamence will kill it very easily.

Wait, Buzzwole works in Ubers?
I thought it was a "not so broken" UB along with Nihilego and Guzzlord.
It can check very prominent attackers thanks to its physical bulk and typing.(Especially Pheromosa, funnily enough.) Making it a good member to a team that'd otherwise easily be crushed by those sorts of physical pokemon. Surprisingly the pokemon that people thought would be the most broken, Pheromosa and Celesteel, don't really work that well with ubers because of certain pokemon that way too common. Not that they aren't the worst UBs, it just turns out that Buzzwole turned out to be the best at doing its job, being to check pretty much any physical attackers unless they're Primal Groudon with fire, Ho-oh, or Mega Salamence. And pretty much any special attacker will easily kill it.

The gains are real lol.
I've been using an all-out attacker set and is pretty fun, but I may check the SubPunch set because it hits hilariously hard; actually that set became pretty popular and people seem to be using the most of it until Bank finally updates and screaming Sylveon enter the scene.

Also, I just noticed that Ho-Oh actually counters almost every UB with no problem except for a Xurkitree and Nihilego. Though even those can be killed off by Ho-oh very easily as long as you avoid there respective STABS.(Rock and Electric, especially the rock while the electric it can handle since it has such huge special defense anyway.) Even despite this I usually just pair up Ho-oh with Primal Groudon and they compliment each other very well in general.

You know, the first I heard Gladion theme, I honestly tough it didn't fit the character and I was kinda dissapointed by it.
But the more I listen, and the more I seen about Gladion. The more I begin to like his theme and his character in general.
Plus, the fact that it's theme look like something that could come from a Megaman X game make it even more good to my ears.
So yeah, Gladion as one of the best theme ever.:052: (because there is so many good song in Sun & Moon that I can't honestly say that one is better than any others)
