Still find it hilarious a song from Senran Kagura had to be featured in a Dragon Ball Z related One Minute Melee.

And it's the theme of a certain eight heated serpent.
They are closest weebs that love Senran Kagura and they know it. Why else would they use that song? :troll:

I think I came across a weird bug in LEGO Dimensions.

The game asked me to download the content I already have (Sonic and E.T.) and got rid of all my progress in the Adventure worlds.

I also can't access the series of levels the Sonic content came with. Even when I redownloaded it like the game asked me to.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this.

I thought it was very obvious they watch animes. OMM and Death Battle are so obviously anime inspired
I knew that, the selection of fights they've did after disbanding from Screwattack proved it.

It's just the fact that they used a song from one of the games for Cell's fight. This one in particular.

Video finally got uploaded. It's missing the first match plus due to the heavy roll back, I felt my play was so sloppy as **** but here it is. Me vs Champ Black. Enjoy.
I just realize, I choked on that first match.

I literally could have won but I choked. Jesus, save my soul

Well, now I'm 21, an adult, with all the freedom at my fingertips...feels no different yet lol (happy b-day to me lol)
Just drink to your hearts content but remember that moderation is key.

Happy Birthday

Great, now I want a Kasumi vs Asuka OMM fight from them.

Doubt it will ever happen since Dead or Alive is far more mainstream compared to Senran Kagura.

Guess who I found in Prime 2...
Dark Beam acquired...

Some of the Pirate Scans in this game are pretty funny...
One log was like:
"Do not keep the Metroids as pets.
Do not use them for target practice.
Do not feed the Metroids.'

The following room...

"Fatality report.
Metroid specimen terminated due to turning on one of it's handlers."

"Injury report.
Metroid specimen was released from it's containment and used for target practice. The metroid specimen attacked the individual. It is estimated that brain functions will return to normal within a cycle."

The space pirates crack me up I tell you...:laugh:

If a Death Battle happened, Kasumi would win hands down due to the bigger speed advantage and trading blows with Ryu Hayabusa.

I doubt the enemies Asuka fought, like Kagura, can compare to half of the foes that Ryu faced on his own.

You know, in a roundabout way I would honestly be happy if the Smash 4 Switch port just added two characters. I know many would be upset at a seemingly low number, but...the roster would be at a nice even sixty, and I like that.
funny story i want there to be 6 characters for a simmilar reason because it would mean there would be 64 characters and that just feels like a full circle kind of number

So here's a new topic I want to start. A while back, I started on topic on everyone's opinions of Lillie as a character. With the success of that discussion, I think it's time we examine another character from the Pokemon series. Unlike Lillie, this character is a pretty controversial one; fans either like this character or they don't hold her in high regards.

What is your opinion of Zinnia, and where would you rank her in terms of your favorite characters in the main series?

I'm interested in seeing what is everyone's stance on her.

I'll respond to my own question later.

I guess she's cool but you don't really spend that much time to get to know her.

I think the little amount of time you're around Guzma, for example, you get more of his personality than Zinnia

She kind of just seems like those "I'm so random!" type of girls

Zinnia
-Has a team full of dragons
-One of those dragons is Salamence
-Dedicated to her cause
-quite a colourful personality
-Cool design
-Mysterious, therefore I wanted to know more about her
-This:

I'd say she ranks pretty high tbh...I liked her involvement in the Delta episode and thought she played out as a really good anti-hero, which is something that is seldom seen in a Pokemon game save for maybe some of the rivals...

I was hoping she'd make an appearance in Sun/Moon, but we'll see what the future brings...

I think she honestly gets a lot more hate than she deserves due to her Blue-and-Orange Morality. I definitely enjoyed her character and felt the Delta Episode was even better with her present. Plus she had a kickass battle theme.

So with picking up Overwatch, I am now on a quest for a main. Here's how things are going so far:



A Tier: Any of these characters could become my group of mains.
Tracer > Genji > Torbjorn > D. Va > Zenyatta > Mercy

B Tier: I like playing as these characters, but they aren't quite "main potential" status.
Widowmaker > Reaper > Roadhog > Solder 76 > Junkrat > Mei > Symmetra

C Tier: I don't really care about these characters too much.
Ana > Zarya > Bastion > McCree

D Tier: Felt awkward when I first tried them out. Will likely stay way from them for a long time.
Pharah > Lucio > Sombra > Winston > Reinhardt > Hanzo

Eh. The more the merrier, I say. Feeling like an appropriate number to stop on isn't much of a reason to stop it there, if you ask me.

I'd be hyped as hell if they did staggered releases over the next few years like what Street Fighter V seems to be doing. I don't know how likely or even practical that is, but...

I like her theme, aside from that I didn't think she (or Delta Episode for that matter) were anything special.

Just to mention, don't choose one hero to main. Cause the whole point of the game is to find the right hero for the job and be good with many heroes. Basically, find all of the heroes' strengths and counters, practice with all of them, and use them to their strengths and if they bring out a counter, than counter against them. Try to be good with as many heroes as possible rather than get really good with only one character, cause getting really good with one character will not matter against the heroes that will counter that hero hard.

I personally felt her writing is messy, which I think is something of an issue with the Delta Episode as a whole (ex. Matt seeking to blow up the island even though Archie isn't dead nor has had anything happen to him to prompt such an action), but I feel she got the worst of it.

In terms of the main plot, they really shouldn't have tried to write her into it as her being involved in the revival of Groudon/Kyogre makes her look terrible even when compared to the villains since she knew what was going to happen with Groudon/Kyogre and yet went through with it, and it contradicts her heroic stance that she's trying to take. Her actions in the Delta Episode aren't much better either as she comes off as pretty hypocritical, callous, and arrogant without the drawbacks to those respective personality traits in most stories. So she ended up not leaving a good impression on me, which is a shame because I think the concept of her is interesting, it's just poorly executed.

I do like her theme and her signature, but that's about it.

Oh, you got Overwatch? Cool.
Well, as I and many others say, it's less about mains and more about being versatile. A good rule to follow is to have at least two characters from each category that you're comfortable with.

In my case, I have 76/Pharah/Mei for DPS, D.Va/Zarya/Rein, and Ana/Zen/Mercy/Lucio for Support/Healing

I'm going to recommend that you bump Reinhardt up. Even if he may feel weird, he's a very integral character, after all he's the only tank that actually shields the team and that's extremely useful for a ton of pushes. You'll find yourself in plenty of situations where you'll need a Rein, but no one is willing to play him. It sucks if you don't like playing him, but it sucks to lose more, so you'll definitely want to have some sort of understanding of Rein when that happens.

I don't believe you play on PC do you?

Anyways here's a few cool resources to help you improve:

Who?

Eh.

Had to Bulbapedia her up. I never finished ORAS, unfortunately, so I've little to say - though I will say that any generation where you're fighting Flannery for my attention is an uphill battle indeed.

So with picking up Overwatch, I am now on a quest for a main.
The point of avoiding mains has already been hammered to death. Allow me to provide a little more info, though:

http://overwatch.metabomb.net/gameplay-guides/overwatch-best-heroes-tier-list-rankings-31-12-2016

This lines up with my rando experience pretty well.

Side note, in my personal experience you can't go wrong with a pocket Lucio. Keep moving, keep healing, never stop shooting. You won't get team kills, but you'll get your team killing.

Aside from her team, I don't really care too much for her. But I can't really say why when it comes to character without it sounding like exactly what Acanir said. Her character just felt confused, there wasn't really much to like about her as a character. Aside from the theme and the team, but I'm ignoring that because I don't count that.

Characters I do really like in pokemon make me like the pokemon they use(such as colress for instance, otherwise I would have no interest in most of his team) but I don't like characters more because of the pokemon they use.

Also, I prefer Drake with Salamence as a signature pokemon over Zinnia. Not that I think that a pokemon can only be a signature to one trainer, but it's not like Hoenn had one dragon type. There was Mega Altaria or heck they should've added in Mega Flygon.

For a game like Overwatch, maining a particular character sounds a lot like maining a class it TF2; it limits your potential as a whole and makes you as a player less effective in certain scenarios. You should utilize multiple kinds of characters- each with their own roles- in order to provide wider support for the thousands of pair ups you'll have.

Considering how many characters are in Overwatch, I'm curious as to how people handle that. I'm assuming there's a tier system.

It is a pretty meh character for me; while the draconid stuff she brought to the table was a cool addition to the backstory of Rayquaza the rest was just bland or annoying (yo, y u go against based Steven?) due her confusing behavior and that "I wanna be a hero" attitude.

The Aster backstory was left pretty ambigous; so the player couldn't develop a feeling of empathy for her. I had to wait until the manga to know more about it (check it, Zinnia gets wrecked by Ray in one scene lol).
I gotta say her music theme is awesome but the final battle itself isn't memorable because Mega Fug can one-shot her entire team, also the crazy moves she does at the beginning kinda ruined the seriousness of the moment.
In the end she's a character that could had a better development. I rank her as another character of the bunch, she brings interesting stuff but she is uninteresting.

Star Hill. Why do you ask?
i have a very unpopular opinions about video games idk if someone will hate me for saying this but...

human characters are boring.
I want video game developers to have a bigger imagination and use a different creature and i prefer having a different creature beating up a human instead of human beating up a different creature i dont want a human to be the main hero i want someone else.
alot of games doesnt interest me these years because it lacks being cartoonish with realistic graphic i want it something like brawl or mario galaxy or pokken.
it was one of the reasons why i left playstation games back in 2007 and go for the wii.
you want to know why?
i grew up with pac-man, crash, sonic, spyro, rayman (NOT FREAKING RABBIDS) games but they were all starting to dissappear from my mind sonic and spyro were getting wierder and crash was ruined and pac-man wasnt getting something like pac-man world and Rayman was overshadowed by the rabbids and cause the cancel of rayman 4 so i wasnt happy about playstation 3 so i decided to drop the idea buying any sony console after that.
and started buying nintendo home consoles and things were great.
but after i bought a wiiu in enjoyed some of the games but there was something missing such as alot of characters that i loved dissapeared and there are games that still didnt get a sequel the way that i was hoping for and dissapointing or just didnt get it at all.
i am really hoping that nintendo switch give me something that i was hoping for in very long time ago.

You want games to look cartoony AND realistic? That's like wanting people to tolerate eachother while being racist or wanting to be a vegetarian yet constantly eating chicken nuggets at McDonald's. I know you're not English so it's likely just your wording, but you also listed Mario Galaxy which doesn't look realistic in the slightest

Zinnia was just some animango character that was shoehorned into the endgame of a remake of a game where there was originally no endgame. But in all seriousness, I never paid much attention to the human characters in Pokémon outside of BW BW2 and more recently S&M. I remember the Delta episode feeling like a big chore more than anything (go here, talk to this person, go here again) and I just wanted to finish the game so I could get around to finishing SoulSilver (which I'd actually started 7 months before ORAS launched. I only finished ORAS last May or so, so a year and a half to finish the game, and I finished SS just last month, so nearly 3 years to finish that!)

Anyway, I felt Zinnia didn't really gel with the rest of the game, and felt out of place with the rest of the cast. Not surprising, as she was added 12 years afterwards, and the series had changed so much. I also felt she was just written just to be "weird" or something and it didn't really make for a good character.

To be fair I'm sure there's no actual chicken in the chicken nuggets from the McDonalds
