I needed the boots for Elise, and I wasn't planning to use him in my run, so....

It was for the greater good. I'll spare him in another run.

Elise has 8 Mov when promoted, why would she need Boots?

 

[Wolfie557]

I really like this, despite being so zoomed out.

So her feet dont get tired from all of that moving.

. . .Or i guess it's the horse that gets the boots.

Here's a question.

How do you feel about emulation and ROMs?

Think they're fine? Bad? Does it depend?

I don't mind it and it has been a blessing for me honestly, to be able to play and use stuff rather than not at all.
Living in a place where you can get a pirated version of anything at a flea market, while original versions cost more than the price in USA or Europe, yeah, you can get an idea why no one buys original here.
General rule of thumb, if I can't get it at a reasonable price, I'll just pirate it. This doesn't apply just for games, but any software.

Steam does a fine job of making games accessible and affordable, which makes me want to pay for them.

Guess I'm gonna **** around on Showdown. Name's Aura94.

It's one of those things that HEAVILY depends on the writer.

Most of those I hear in relation to Brian Michael Bendis, namely about ruining the Guardians, Carol Danvers, etc. His issue is that he keeps taking jobs outside his area of expertise. He works best with focusing on one character in a more realistic, street level setting. Bonus points if the character is inherently snarky. Like, his Daredevil run, his magnum opus Alias, and his Miles Morales Spider-Man stuff is highly regarded. His Iron Man run is anywhere from meh to good depending on who is asked. Then there's Civil War II and his Guardians of the Galaxy, which...yeah. He can't write groups and often doesn't care for established continuity for the more fantastic characters. He's good at what he's good at, and sucks outside his comfort zone, basically.

For the political thing, I mainly hear that in relation to Captain America, be it Sam or Steve. I don't think that's an issue as Captain America has always been political. It's just nowadays politics is more openly Us vs Them so it draws more...intense reactions from people. People don't realize that back in 1941, having Captain America punch out Hitler on the cover of his first issue was an incredibly controversial political statement. Like, there were death threats sent to all involved.

As for heroes being shamed, I'm assuming you mean the Cyclops thing, which stems from...a very hard to explain in-universe thing. #CyclopsWasRight and all that jazz.

They aren't my opinions.

I just heard those complaints and was curious.

What are the Cap and Cyclops things?

 

[FalKoopa]

Gah, Effie. I meant Effie.

Effie needs the extra mobility.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I seem to be using Pokebank as a place to put pokemon I don't want to get rid of, but are cluttering up my in game boxes.

I probably should be putting my "Living Dex" in there instead of in game. It has more room

 

[Deleted member]

Well, you still get a pair of Boots from Chapter 23 and another from Another Gift from Anna so you just killed a man for your moving wall to move sloghtly faster

 

[Opossum]

What are the Cap and Cyclops things?

Oh I know they weren't your opinions, I was just explaining anyway. Wasn't directed at you.

Some people feel Nick Spencer's Cap runs are "leftist propaganda" based on how the two runs handle things like extremism, immigration, social issues and the like. Yeah, Spencer's a pretty left wing guy, but like I said, Cap's always had a political air. It's just now a vocal group is complaining since that's the thing to do these days.

The Cyclops thing comes from the whole X-Men v Inhumans debacle. In a meta sense, many X-Men fans claim Marvel is trying out push out the X-Men due to film rights concerns and force the Inhumans into their niche. In-universe...

Spoiler

There's the fact that Cyclops died due to exposure to Terrigen mist and Emma Frost made him a rallying point behind the pro-mutant movement. Now in universe everyone thinks Cyclops is literally Hitler for what he did to the Inhumans, despite that it was just Emma projecting his image into people's heads.

Bare in mind I didn't read XvI, so I don't know a lot of details. That's the gist of it.

I've also heard complaints about Captain Marvel and She-Hulk.

Any idea about those?

I keep reading things about how Marvel is ruining their comics.

To the Marvel readers, do these things ring true?

• Heroes becoming mean and unrelatable
• Perfectly good heroes being shamed for something
• Political extremism
• Changing established character's personalities and arcs for little to no reason
• Attempting to reinvent characters that don't need to be reinvented

These are the things I keep hearing.

• Depends on who they're talking about. the heroes are still relatable, but If they're talking about Bendis' and his depiction of Captain Marvel in Civil War II (as a specific example), then they're probably not wrong.
  
  
• Honestly, I can't recall anything of the sort other than #CyclopsWasRight or #NotMyCap.
  
  
• Half the time it's people ******** about out of context comic book images on twitter or something. Nick Spencer bodies people who do this on twitter all the time and It's great But really, comic books can still be extremely focused on the political stuff, but still be good; case in point Sam Wilson: Captain America. As far as I'm aware (since I read this mostly on reviews of the book on /r/Marvel and Spencer's twitter) the Americops, and a character called Rage are a big part of that book and people often criticize Spencer on how he writes and conveys his thoughts on certain politcal subjects, especially in relation to the former two *cough cough muh extreme leftist propaganda*.
  
  
• Considering Eddie Brock is going to get the Venom symbiote back despite hating it, I could see why. Though, it's just a matter of experimenting with characters. Iirc, Stan Lee once talked about having the illusion of change in comics, and I guess that's what they're trying to do when changing and reinventing characters. I think Marvel wants to change characters without having to have what works become stale... biggest point of this is Steve Rogers becoming an agent of Hydra. Yes, there may have been no reason, so the change so the change was jarring but it has lead to what is considered by many to be the greatest Captain America run 'in the history of comics' as one put it.
  
  
• Brian Michael Bendis is doing this in Infamous Iron Man (where Dr. Doom becomes a good guy and takes up the mantle of Iron Man) and it is amazing.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I don't like all the drama, deaths, and relationships

I prefer more of the camp, and lesser drama of just the hero trying to live their everyday life but trying to keep their identity secret

I don't really like when they make the heroes so serious

 

[Opossum]

That Cyclops bit just confuses me.

I've also heard complaints about Captain Marvel and She-Hulk.

Any idea about those?

Captain Marvel can just be attributed to Bendis demolishing her character in Civil War II and leaving her writers to try to salvage what's left. Kinda similar to what Tony Stark went through for a while after the first Civil War basically made him a totalitarian dictator. She'll get better...hopefully sooner rather than later.

I'm in the dark as far as She-Hulk. Haven't been keeping up there.

 

[Aurane]

Yo if you play Showdown- finish your battles.

Serious.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Horses wear boots too, ya know.

Who the hell would dress their horse like Metaton?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Steve Rogers becoming an agent of Hydra.

What happened with this anyways?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Well, for She-Hulk I know she used to be like Deadpool and break the 4th wall

I don't think they do that with the character anymore though...?

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

What happened with this anyways?

Still an agent of Hydra, though it's all coming to a head in the event 'Secret Empire'.

He talks more about this to Tony Stark in his comatose state in Civil War II: The Oath and it's absolutely amazing.

Explain.

Because I just can't see Cap as an agent of Hydra being a good thing in any circumstance.

 

[Champ Gold]

Not at all, because that is awesome (she is one of my favourite FE characters). People really love cool, green-haired ladies.

Sure they do.

We all love...

In-universe, it's not good. In fact, it's really bad for the entire world, but the concept of making THE moral compass of the Superhero community a villain is awesome and Spencer writes a really good villainous Captain America.

Basically Captain America lost his serum and became old, Sam Wilson takes over as Captain America.

After a while, in Avengers Standoff, a sentient cosmic cube going by the name Kobik makes Captain America young again, but also ends up altering his history so he was an agent of Hydra, because of the Red Skull's influence on Kobik herself.

TL;DR, Steve basically engineers almost the entirety of Civil War II to favour him, so the Superhero community is at their weakest by time Secret Empire comes around and unintentionally ends up making himself the most powerful man in the world as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D, as legislation was passed that basically everything (including the military) goes through them.

Another TL;DR: Captain America will make everything Tony Stark has worked for all worthless in the end, where everything and everyone he loves will become ashes and dust, and the world becomes led under Hydra leadership; so that, even if Miles Morales ends up killing him (as seen in the vision in Civil War II) he will have had succeeded in his plans in brining ruin to America and the world.

Meh, I prefer the OG Manakete over this Loli Dragon.

At least her fans like Elise just as much.

That doesn't seem very good to me...

Unless some sort of interesting Smash related news comes along in the coming weeks/months, this will be my last Smash related question:

When do you guys believe we will receive any sort of news on a new game/port, specifically if you had to pick or rate the chances of each choice from these three questions?

1. It will get teased or hinted at in a direct before the Switch releases.

2. It will appear sometime after the Switch releases, but before E3.

3. It will be revealed officially at E3 2017.

If I had to make a choice, I'd go for 1.

 

[Champ Gold]

But what about the green haired boys?

Alm and Satan are bae.

If that was the case then, I would have posted Zoro or omega Edgelord Hazama.

You should be ashamed of yourself

Unless you are talking about Adult Tiki, they both are dragon lolis, bra.

1. Doubt it. Maybe a little tease, but nothing major.

2. I don't think so. Unless we are getting more directs.

3. This is the likeliest scenario if they want to cause the same hype they've did with Smash 4 at E3 2013.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Its my dads 77th b-day and Imma grill him a steak for the first time ever.

I never grilled a steak

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

That doesn't seem very good to me...

Yeah, I can see why.

In-universe, it's definitely not, but as a reader I thought the same thing after the first issue when it was revealed he was a Hydra agent.

But I decided to keep on reading and it is amazing. This book was so good it made Civil War II (an event that almost everyone does not like at all), make more sense and better.

And Civil War II: The Oath makes it all worth imo.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

You know how much I love Ephie. I left him out on purpose because he's the obvious best choice next to Zoro.

As for Hazama, he's the ultimate troll husbando.

I beat KH fragmentary passage last night.

It confirms that the first world in KH 3 is:

Olympis. At the end Sora is sent to train with Hercules to regains strength after DDD and it leads directly into 3.

Trying for the secret ending now, but it's hard as hell. I've lost at least 50 times now.
