My go-to example for "Cartoony Realism" is The Good Dinosaur. I mean look at it.


Others have said it, but I'll reiterate: it's definitely a thing.
Ewwwww, the good dinosaur is a terrible example. People hated it because the characters didn't match the backgrounds. I mean, the environment looks amazing, don't get me wrong, but the characters going with it not so much.

(Especially when you're someone who wants to see dinosaurs that don't look like they're from a random childrens book.)

Hmm, yeah. Looking at Lupinko's tweets, he mentions #datmarvel on New Years Day, showing off a MvC2 image of Felicia vs Sentinel. Later on he posts a bunch of tweets with images, starting with:
-American Roll from the cartoon
Then:
-Rikuo & Sasquatch
-Momo from Breath of Fire 3, with the words,"That was a fun game."
-Punisher
-Necalli from Street Fighter 5
-An image of the Quiz game that Saki from TvC is from
-Some really strange artworks done by Amano Yo****aka for Capcom
-Rogue, immediately followed by a picture of Captain Marvel and Rogue stating, "Anyway, Carol got the last laugh."
-All of the cards from UMvC3's Heroes versus Heralds Mode?
-Baron Mordo with the words, "What was that wifi password again?", which got me laughing for anyone who has seen the Doctor Strange movie
-Some girl music group(Jem and the Holograms?) with one of the characters looking like Rogue.

Basically, after all that, his last post so far is the gem that I posted, of both Wolverine and Guile. Now all I have to wonder is: Which ones are fakes meant to hide his hinting and which ones are the actual hint? IF there are any hints to begin with...

Now before I end this post, I actually do have to ask:

What is this really? The artist is Yo****aka Amano, who does Final Fantasy artwork, but what exactly did Capcom have Amano make or make for?
That's El Dorado Gate.

Not much is known about it other than it was a series of 7 RPGs for the Dreamcast. They were released bi monthly from 2000 to 2001.

Needless to say, they weren't localized.

Yeah, this exactly

I also thought the main dinosaur didn't match the style of the other dinosaurs

It's not even being hipster really.

It's just going out of your way to say things that you know are stupid and nonsensical but someone will make a serious response to anyway.

Like so:

Other character mentioned was Wario, but the F word was before it so I cut it out.




Anything you can post there, you can post here or anywhere else.

The difference is that you just have to be willing to actually deal with a backlash on sites like this, as well as be prepared for the inevitable grudges people can and will hold against you.
You do realize why that stupid meme exist, right.


A certain Space Goddess gets into Smash and 3D World plus being in a lot of promotional stuff as the #2 leading lady with Peach and not a certain Princess of Sarassaland.

The salt in 2013 was THAT bad. Waifuism was a mistake

>Fighters are dying everyone, despite people keeps playing them
>ANIME, 3D, SMASH AND WESTERN GAMES AREN'T REAL GAMES
>Nobody discusses DoA and Skullgirls outside of waifus
This part right here is so accurate.

Yeah, I just recently noticed the Dreamcast in the corner and went to look for Capcom Dreamcast games. Anyway, I knew about the series since it has a Wikipedia article and mentioned in the Capcom list, but I didn't know that Amano did the artwork for the game(and his artwork is still as strange as ever).

The issue is that they use Twitch as a basis because they aren't getting constant views like League of Legends

Which is stupid because Korea and Japan loves that game to death and that will outlast any game on Twitch

I'm aware, the term literally only came to exist on the exact day Rosalina was revealed for Smash (though in my opinion, I put it more on Smash fans in general than Daisy fans exclusively).

But even the most butthurt Daisy fans don't say Rosalina "killed the Mario franchise", or insinuate it has been killed at all. Nah, that's just a guy going out of his way to make someone mad. :p

TBH, the Lightning meme in general is ridiculous because the meme doesn't even apply to the character it was based off.

The Lightning meme doesn't even work anymore considering Lightning isn't even liked anymore thanks to the 13 sequels and Toriyama was the only one that pushed her.

She stopped being popular when FFX HD games came out and Tuna became the top FF girl again in Japan again.

Oh, speaking of NeoGAF not being worth listening to and bad opinions on competitive gaming, I think NeoGAF was where I heard someone say that Nintendo games will never be capable of having an Esports community because nothing that isn't on a PC will ever get enough views to actually count as one.

. . .Ignoring that Smash gets among the most participants at FGC events where it shows up and I don't think anyone would count fighting games as not being an Esport? Or I guess they aren't under that label, or something.

That's stupid when you consider that the standard platform to run fighters is ALWAYS consoles.

They rarely if not never play PC version of fighters because those versions go through so many ranges of speeds and performance. And consoles have a set standard

You know how I mentioned I got a weird bug in LEGO Dimensions yesterday?

Looking at the game's customer support on Twitter, I'm not the only one having this issue.

Really want to know what the cause of this was. Dimesons has it's fair share of glitches, but nothing like this.

Did someone say something about fish?

I went to do an image search for this real quick because it seemed relevant. The joke's not very fresh, though. . .

*EDIT* THAT image broke, let's try again in a minute.

*DOUBLE EDIT* Hopefully that works.

I've had the SNES Rainbow Road music stuck in my head these past few days.

It's really stuffed in there.

Just found out about Kamala Khan. For those who don't know, she's the new Ms. Marvel who's also doing something that Marvel's been guilty of doing but doing it good this time. A common accusation of Marvel Comics these days is that they pander too much to the tumblr crowd, some cases, it's just overexaggerated, but I've seen cases in which the complaints are justified. Kamala Khan's a Muslim superhero. I'd actually read that as that's pretty much never been done before

So I'm thinking of setting up my Drampa (not the 6IV- I hatched another one with lower Attack IV) like this because I don't know how to use it. I didn't do any research- just saw its ability and stats and I thought of this immediately.

Drampa@Leftovers
Ability: Berserk
EVs: 252 HP/252 SpA/4 Spe
Modest Nature
-Roost
-Flamethrower
-Hyper Voice
-Dragon Pulse

Berserk raises SpA after the enemy lowers your HP below 50%, and can reactivate after you heal. So I think using Roost + Leftovers with dual screens to pump Drampa's 135 base SpA up could be pretty effective. Whether or not that's a legit strategy, I guess we will see. If not, I'll just specs it, change its ability to Sap Sipper for another immunity, and just become a wallbreaker. *shrugs*

Lightning is still well liked, and Toriyama wasn't the only one who "pushed" her (people constantly blow that out of proportion), which is part of the problem with the phrase.

The other part of the problem is...Lightning wasn't very "pushed" at all, and any extra stuff she got was part of her popularity to begin with.

FFXIII-2 happened because FFXIII, like it or not, sold really well and scored well in reviews (has an 83 on Metacritic, I've seen games with much worse scores get sequels). Plus they spent years making the engine, so may as well get some extra mileage out of it (note how the same is happening with FFXV as well). Even then, Lightning was not the main character, and appeared for 10 minutes in the opening, narrated a couple of scenes here and there, and then showed up briefly at the end. Then got a short DLC episode to herself later on (but so did Sazh, so it's not like she's getting "SPESHUL TREATMENT" like everyone says). Serah and Noel were the main characters of that game, the only reason Lightning was on the front of the box was because casuals actually know who she is (and tend to like her).

Lightning Returns happened because they needed to finish the story they started, and they wanted to experiment with certain things that would end up being used in FFXV (stuff like the open world, characters having schedules and an increased emphasis on side quests, etc). FFXIII was already an experimental series so it made sense. Lightning is the main character again because Serah didn't catch on as much, and again, casuals know who she is.

So all in all, Lightning got two major games that can really be called her own. Every other game she has appeared in has been some kind of FF ensemble game like Dissidia or World of Final Fantasy, where the main heroes of the different numbered titles tend to show up anyway, so her appearance isn't even to do with popularity at that point, it's just par for the course like all the other FF heroes.

Also let it be known that "Tuna" is indeed best girl.

I know.
Most people just can't handle how awesome she is and will resort to silly tactics like degenerating spin-off in a hillariously desperate attempt to put this fourty-game fella down resulting in them getting crushed with Daisy's awesomeness
Most people cant handle how loud she is also

I feel like making a Pidgey moveset:

Neutral B: Sand Attack
Pidgey flaps his wings at ground level, whipping up a ball of sand the size of Pac-Man.
The ball initially stays stationary on the field, obscuring the view and damaging (but not flinching or knocking back) opponents that step into it

Side B: Gust
Pidgey slaps its wings, producing a gust of wind like the Gust Bellows.
This wind pushes away opponents, items and all that stuff but also the Sand Clouds.

If charged, the move turns into a Hurricane that travels forwards slowly and damages opponents but also pushes them.
Sand moved up by the Hurricane flies all around the field, damaging opponents and causing them to flinch (but still no knockback).
The lack of knockback make this the ultimate gimping move,

The Hurricane can also be charged.
If charged, it grows bigger, deals more damage and travels faster

Up B: Tailwind
Pidgey flaps its wings downward, summoming a column of wind that pushes it in the chosen direction.
The Tailwind stays up for a while and since Pidgey is automatically pushed up, he can pick every move he wants while in it

Sand Clouds that hit it get pushed upwards

Down B: Feather Dance
Pidgey shakes his wings, firing feathers and down right before him.
Opponents hit by the down get slowed down and the feathers need to be knocked off like Pikmin.
If Pidgey is quick, he can summon a gust before the feathers disappear right after the dance to fire the feathers at the opponent.

Found a meme that I can't relate to.

Why would people be sharing around a meme talking about how they can't maths?
