Server Browser and major Custom Games changes coming.
CTF is staying

I can already see people saying, "Custom Game is so much more balanced than the main game!"

But still, by what Jeff mentioned about doing changes if they are popular, I wonder if players can use Custom Game to help the developers find balances that work.

The other thing I'm really curious about is "How much" EXP can be gotten from Custom game? Considering that with Play VS AI, you actually get less EXP from doing that compared to matches against players. Like some of the EXP bonuses are actually reduced in Play in AI, like Gold Medals are 90 rather than 108.

Edit: Patch Notes for PTR are up.

Also, Lijiang Tower has a non-event version for Capture the Flag.

Spoiler

I love this day version of Lijiang Tower. I hope they do more day and night time versions of stages.

I always wanted Toad in Smash but after realizing that he was an asshole, I didn't anymore

Last Toad is such a bro.

My feet are so cold I could hone this power into icicle kicks.

As much as I hate to admit it, but Vaati won by a landslide.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Now to start the DK Smash poll. Which I hope doesn't end as quickly.

Chapter 24 is sorta fun, it's incredibly easy because the gameplay-and-story segregation of the threat that Dragons are is so big it's laughable Roy first terrified of them of them.
I just wish this chapter had more variety, it's literally just Dragons with their only one weapon.
So far, everyone but Fae, Lalum and Clarine have slayed a Dragon
Oh, and fyi, Rutger did it without a Legendary Weapon, just a good ol' Silver Sword

I just passed out on the floor because I felt so sick and I woke up confused as all hell asking "What day is it"

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

The DK poll is up and I already have interesting results.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Why are people sleeping on my girl Dix? Especially when they prefer the surfer dude over her.

 

[Pazzo.]

Are we spoiling BoTW?

Have fun.

Either he's a meme or people like him for being "cool".

Also, "sleeping on my girl Dix" is a poor choice of words...

Signed into the old Twitter account I never use just to vote for the Gramparilla.

Ugh now I need Peri but I don't wanna spend a **** tonne of money to have the chance to get her.

A friend and I were actually talking about how otherwise rational people could maintain false perceptions on matters like climate change and vaccinations. Along the way I find a solid piece from National Geographic about this very topic. It's worth a read, especially considering the rather...odd times in the political climate. Below is probably the most striking excerpt from the article. http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2015/03/science-doubters/achenbach-text

"Science appeals to our rational brain, but our beliefs are motivated largely by emotion, and the biggest motivation is remaining tight with our peers. “We’re all in high school. We’ve never left high school,” says Marcia McNutt. “People still have a need to fit in, and that need to fit in is so strong that local values and local opinions are always trumping science. And they will continue to trump science, especially when there is no clear downside to ignoring science.”

Meanwhile the Internet makes it easier than ever for climate skeptics and doubters of all kinds to find their own information and experts. Gone are the days when a small number of powerful institutions—elite universities, encyclopedias, major news organizations, even National Geographic—served as gatekeepers of scientific information. The Internet has democratized information, which is a good thing. But along with cable TV, it has made it possible to live in a “filter bubble” that lets in only the information with which you already agree."

Oh I remember this

1000 years locked away kill your communication skills

And I'm gonna be honest here, this little covo with Fae actually made me feel

And finally, time for final chapter quote. Man, these were wose than FE8's. Most of them are just generic "we've com a long way" or "whoa, big dragon!". Some highlights

*input HectorAsRoy'sStand.gif here*

I love how Raigh is basically acting like a fanboy here

And Dieck just acts casually, because Dieck is the coolest not-dead character in this game

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I took a "6 Human Needs" test and I dunno what the results are supposed to mean. It's not like the test included anything other than results in raw numbers

54% Certainty

68% Variety

86% Significance

50% Love

86% Growth

68% Contribution

I found the best comment on a non persona related video ever

If trading were a thing I'd give you mine... For a price.

Maxwell confirmed:

>Nintendo has been tight-lipped on the Switch technical specs, as they have with all of their consoles. But now the specs have finally been revealed from none other than the makers of the CPU: ARM.

>The chip-maker revealed in a Facebook post that the Switch is powered by a quad core ARM Cortex A57 CPU. The chip can run at up to 2 GHz and has 2MB L2 cache.

>Another post, which was removed, revealed that the Switch has an Nvidia Maxwell CPU with 256 CUDA cores running at 1 GHz (maximum clock speed).

>All of this corresponds to an Nvidia Tegra X1 chip, which was originally released in 2015.

>Finally, as many previous reports have suggested, the Switch features 4 GB RAM that’s shared between CPU and GPU.

I told you it was running last gen tech. Digital Foundry was spot on with the leak.

Was anyone saying otherwise?
I mean, at this point Nintendo and last gen tech is synonymous

Twitter is dead brah.

EDIT: Of course it goes back up again when I post this.

This was what people expected was it not?

Awarded today for being on Smashboards for 5 long yet fun years...feels good. Switched back to my very first avatar in order to celebrate the occasion

Anyway, what platforms does FE Heroes work on? I'd like to get it but I'm not sure on which platforms it works :/

It's out on iOS and Android so get something that runs on either of those.

Man the weather gimmicks in FE7 are so annoying. >.<

Also, Hector better get speed real soon. He's level 7 and still only has 5 speed.

No matter what you do he will still be better than my Hector

Nearly 0 skill even with a bunch of boost items.

In the midst of people undergoing another wave of freaking out negatively about the Switch, here's something I just saw people freaking out positively about.

Spoiler: Large but good GIF

A japanese commercial showed Link slowly riding alongside Zelda on horseback into the sunset.

Good Idea: Google imaging the Puyo Puyo character Carbuncle

Bad Idea: Google imaging Carbuncle without the word "Puyo"

Oh dear lord why did I do that.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Apparently there is doubt on the validity of the ARM report.

Supposedly they linked a leak article in their FB post.

Dunno what that would mean though.

Went to download...but then I remembered that I don't have iOS 8 right now
Maybe some other time, I guess.

But I hope to get it soon. For the future, I'd like to ask: how viable is mai boi Roi?

I remember this happening back during Pokemon Gen 6 when people were looking up what Carbink was based off of.

A stone and a disgusting affliction sharing the same name makes it difficult for anyone looking up anything based off of the former.

He's pretty good.

Most of the 5* Focus characters are though, and Roy is actually one of the not-as-good ones. That's not a knock on him, it's just that characters like Lucina, Chrom, Camilla, Hector and especially Takumi are far better.

Srry bout dat.

Have a PUYO PUYO Carbuncle plushie:

 

[A Distant Demon]

No matter what you do he will still be better than my Hector

Nearly 0 skill even with a bunch of boost items.

And let me just say that even with a garbage stat Hector, he was still the second strongest unit on my team after Jaffar once high defense caught up to Lyn's strength


Hector is just that stupid crazy broken of a unit

And on the other side, who would you say are the low tier trash characters, if there are any?

Thanks for giving me some reading material when I get bored

Whereas yesterday was Nujabes' birthday, today's J Dilla's. Another artist taken too soon from us. Take listen to some of these tracks, will ya?

Spoiler: Selected Tracks

Thanks for showing this stuff off man.

I forgot how stingy FE7 is with its deployment slots. >_>

Errr... what would be the price?
