HOLY **** JESUS CHRIST THIS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WAS AMAZING


CLEMSON DID IT. ROOOOOLLLLLLLL TEARS, BAMA LOSERS

 

[Chrono.]

Well, I can say I fully beat Pokemon Prism.

Spoiler

After brute forcing my way through the Battle Arcade, I unlocked the Mystery Ticket which takes me to the Mystery Zone.

In there is a second Pokemon League where you face: Brown (the protagonist from the prequel hack Pokemon Brown), Gold and Red (who has the same team as in GSC but all are lv100).

It's actually rather easy, my mons were in their early 80s and we pretty much just steamrolled through it.

Overall a good hack which may be in my top 5 now.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I bit late on this, but I have a Litwick if you want to trade and add it to your team. Fire STAB can come in handy. And it'll take good advantage of Flamethrower and Shadow Ball.

Mismagius seems like the most boring, ordinary of them

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

**** man.. paying Osu again after many years is hard

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Special Battle Season 2 allows pokemon from the national dex, and that starts the 17

So, it can't be THAT much longer until the pokebank update

 

[Kurri ★]

The new name is meant to be a combination of the words “alternative and Alibaba,” according to a person familiar with the company’s thinking, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the individual was not authorized to speak on the record about the name change.

Sounds dumb

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Yahoo is changing it's name to Altaba.

Wut.

How times change.

I remember back when the Willis Tower was called the "Sears Tower"? Always changing their names for the worst.

Thanks but Marowak's got the Fire STAB covered...It's got Flame Charge for now but in time I'll be rocking that Flare Blitz...

I also want to use only pokemon available within the game...

Well, Litwick IS available in the game with Island scan

Spoiler: Math

View attachment 124668

So here is a question I have to grade children on. Getting lots of different answers and I started to wonder.

Can SWF solve the problem? Give it a shot. It's easier than you think.

Especially for some of the math whizzes like Fal.

Math is not my strong suit. Words are, although some days I'm sure I make people wonder. Took a crack at it though.

Started with everyone as tricycles - got 84 wheels for 28 cyclists. Then I yanked a wheel off cyclists until I ended up with 70 wheels (I like to imagine it was an important one, like the front, as a punishment for making me do math) - that's 14 brand new bicycles.

Ends up an even split - 14 tricyclists, and 14 bicyclists who desperately want to catch me for a whoopin but no longer can.

While typing this I started reading other responses and it seems my math and methods are solid. Feel a little better about myself today.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Ya know...

I just thought...

How old are the characters in Smash?

Yeah, lol

The questions easy

The first thing I always do is assume the number is split in half

If not that, I try a fourth next

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Any mathmetician worth their salt knows the value of guesswork.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I personally call it "Lazy Math"

It's what I do when I don't want to think

It works, but that's only because schools don't think very highly of their students

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah, that's why I always found math easy. Once you know the equation type you can really simplify it. Though first you have to understand it, of course.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Yahoo is changing it's name to Altaba.

Wut.

The CEO is also resigning.

Read that article, let's clarify.

Yahoo's "core" businesses - yahoo.com, Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Messenger, and the like - are being sold to Verizon. I presume those will retain the Yahoo name.

The rest of Yahoo's net worth is tied up in its share of Alibaba and Yahoo Japan, which will be its remaining holdings after the sale. The new company for those two holdings specifically is what they're calling Altaba - for, apparently, "alternate Alibaba."

Meyer is resigning so she can follow the core business to Verizon, since she gives more of a **** about than some Alibaba shares.

Ya know...

I just thought...

How old are the characters in Smash?

Over 18 without exception, according to legal disclosures on certain sections of the internet.

Yeah, lol

Yeah, was easy once I pinned my starting point. Although I blanked for a minute after reading it, won't lie.

For this kind of stuff I typically see what the values would be at either extreme and adjust the proportion to fit. Halvsies would've been a beautifully lucky shot here though.

 

[Ura]

Ya know...

I just thought...

How old are the characters in Smash?

...Whatever their canon age is?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I think my problem with math is instead of really understanding a problem, I figure out cheap ways to figure it out like memorizing patterns. The questions they have on tests usually have set patterns and once you figure that out you can find a similar question and solve it without a problem.

It got me to calculus

I'm not actually required to take any more math so I'm not sure how well I'd do from there

I actually wanted to continue to higher math from there, but I had such a frustrating time in my last math class mostly because the teacher wasn't really teaching the math

I don't know what I'd do if I had to take higher math + other classes. The only reason I didn't die that quarter was because I found out that all my psych quiz answers were available online

 

[redfeatherraven]

You know, it occurs to me.

Altaba is basically a business Shedinja.

 

[Coricus]

Hang on, I had a list I compiled put up over at. . .

http://archiveofourown.org/works/4641507/chapters/10585254

There. The first chapter contains some data I complied on the subject a long, long time ago researching wikis.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

...Whatever their canon age is?

Well yeah but what is that?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Also my problem is that I'm extremely lazy and depend completely on my ability to memorize information easily when I hear it explained

I get more frustrated when I have to figure it out myself

My intelligence is hindered completely with how lazy I am and how utterly incompetent our education system is that I can get straight A's through it by just coasting on autopilot

 

[Ura]

Well yeah but what is that?

That's a very vague thing to ask given that there's 58 characters in the game.

We know some characters ages (i.e. Roy being 15 and Shulk being 18) but some we don't know.

 

[Coricus]

If no one wants to sort through that since I had some height and weight data put into it as well, the character ages that had been placed there were as such:

Mega Man (A.I.): 10
Sonic: 15
Little Mac: 17
Mario: 26
Pit (physical and mental): 13
Palutena (physical and mental): 22
Ness: 13
Luigi: 26
Shulk: 18
Link (Twilight Princess): 17
Captain Falcon: 37
Roy (Fire Emblem): 15

There are probably other canon ages that I had not discovered at the time, but that's what I had collected and put up at that time.

 

[Chrono.]

New Dissidia character getting revealed later today.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

People are speculating it's Noctis.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Was Mega man built as to be a 10 year old, or is he a 10 year old robot

is older than most of the cast and still is hotter than them.

btw
Bayonetta: +600 (if we consider her actual birthdate [12/19/1411] she would have now 615)
Ganondorf (TP): +100

 

[Deleted member]

Mario: 26(According to Melee's japanese trophy)
Link: 17-19
Toon Link: 12
Samus: 28-34
Marth: 16-21
Ike: 20
Corrin: 18
Little Mac: 17
Shulk: 18.


Those are the ages I know.

It would make a lot of sense to be.

FFXV is a big hit after all.

Speaking of which, I'm glad FF is almost unanimously praised again as opposed to the love it or hate it attitude game like FFXIII got.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Oh really? It's praised

The people I know that got the game said it's pretty meh

 

[redfeatherraven]

Was Mega man built as to be a 10 year old, or is he a 10 year old robot

The former.

He was built in 200X, the same timeframe as the original Mega Man. Even if years had passed in between - they probably did, if we're being fair - ten of them wouldn't have.

Uh no, FFXV has been VERY polarizing so far. The only things people agree on are that the main party are really good and that the story is very bad.

Although UNLIKE what happened with FFXIII, Noctis isn't as hated on the internet as Lightning is.

 

[Coricus]

Bayonetta: +500

Well if we're ballparking, Pit and Palutena are both at least SOMEWHERE over 28 because of various timeskips. Logic dictates that they're both much older in terms of raw numbers, but that much is concrete.

Not that it's that relevant to their behavior, but biologically it is curious enough to speculate about. You could make an argument for Pit aging slightly over the 25 year gap depending on how you count the artstyle shift, but it's definitely. . .slowed, to put it one way.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

As we approach the Switch Presentation, how about a new topic?

Games you doubt would happen but would blow you away at the presentation?

New Wario Land game or a Bowser game.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Figures...

Any time I start to see people love something, there's another equally loud group.

I can't think of anything that wasn't a niche title that got universal praise anymore.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

OMG apparently bee's are smart enough to know that their stinger's get stuck in things when they sting and they die if they pull it out

So, some bee's will actually try to "unscrew" themselves to save their lives after stinging

Pokemon Sun/Moon?

It's definitely the best received Pokemon title I've seen in a long time.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Pokemon Sun/Moon?

It's definitely the best received Pokemon title I've seen in a long time.

And I still see a lot of hate for it.


"Too different." "New Pokemon are dumb" "Bad Writing" "Melodramatic" "Uncompetitive"

Stuff like that.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I was gonna say Overwatch, but then you have people who just claim it of being too much like Team Fortress, etc, etc.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

TBH, I don't like the direction FF is going and probably am not going to get another game.

Although they aren't actually losing me as a customer because I haven't bought one since FFX-2
