Yeah...

I'll defend them on the decision about JonTron, but removing threads on Steam is not a good idea.

are they that ashamed that they dont want anyone talkin about it at all? Hell, not even jon is going to these lengths pff

Another advantage Lucina could have over Saber is the ability to wield lances, a reference to her Great Lord class, and knowing the Fire Emblem triangle, lances beat swords, so that could also help even the game between the two.

And Saber has a Lancer version. Knowing Death Battle, they'd defy rules to make Saber have access to Excalibur, Avalon and Rhongomiant. So saying Lucina has advantage for using a Lance when it's just as likely that they'll give Saber her Lancer Noble Phantasm is pushing it a bit.

 

[Aetheri]

I've been...so worn down. Why is it that whenever I get my head above water, something comes along and shoves me back under?

On a side note, if anyone here has graphic design experience, I have a question:

How would one 1) put text at an angle like on the top left, and 2) create the paint effect behind said text?

In Photoshop using layers helps you work with things separately from eachother...such as adding in the paint effect without messing with the background or the text...

Usually you'd have to paint in an effect like that, you can add in custom brushes to put in brush stroke patterns to give it that paint splash look...Unless you just go to Google and find any other premade paint splash images...(personally when creating anything like this I like to do it myself as it makes it more original work)

Also there's a skew/warp tool that allows you to mess with the proportions of an image/text that can allow you to pull corners to create that angled effect like that...

I don't think we'll ever get another Other M.

Which is the only Metroid garbage.

What about NES Metroid, Metroid 2, Prime Hunters, Pinball and the cancelled Megaman X game.

 

[Erureido]

There's one issue with the "Lance Lucina is an advantage" matter.

Fate series triangle is the inverse.

Well, looks like I stand corrected.

Guess this means we can just forget about the Lucina vs Saber matchup then.

You mentioned a Final Fantasy character could be a fitting opponent for Saber. I don't follow FF much, so what I want to know is which FF character would make a fitting opponent for her in terms of similar skills, or perhaps even backstory.

I guess that's the best place to look for a good Death Battle opponent for Saber aside from Erza.

Lightning, easily.

Especially later Lightning where she's basically Jesus.

I wouldn't call NES Metroid and Metroid II garbage....I would think expired would be a more appropriate term...since they are very much outdated...

I think he's referring to that cancelled Mega Man X FPS titled "Maverick Hunter", which was being developed by former Retro employees and gave more of a Metroid vibe than a Mega Man one.

I know alot of people will say Lightning. Which is not surprising in the least. Ironically, both Saber and Lightning are voiced by the same JP voice actor last time I checked. Also the fact that Lightning isn't her real name, much like Saber isn't the real name of the character.

That being said, for gender shenanigans, I would love to say Faris("AND LADIES WHO DRESS LIKE MEN!"). But sadly, Faris isn't really specific when it comes to abilities compared to FFVI and ongoing where characters start becoming more distinct in gameplay. Faris does have the job system compared to later characters, but until she gets an appearance and moveset in a Dissidia game, she's mostly everything/anything goes, whereas Bartz got a distinguished character thanks to Dissidia.

Uh...crap, I can't afford Photoshop, which is why I've been using Paint.net. It gets the job done and has more advanced things like layers (which I've gotten really good at using, heh), but does such a brush stroke pattern exist for it?

It does have customizable brushes.

Been thinking about streaming a lot lately. I've heard it's a whole lot of fun and I'd love to do it but first I need to find out if my computer is up to snuff, find a game(s) I want to stream, and of course gauge interest from you guys. I'm thinking about starting out my streams with a Live Stream of the next Direct, whenever the hell that'll be, not a reaction stream. I might give some input on the games and things like that but I would prefer my stream to be a 'hang out' type deal where I talk with the chat on what they think about it. Other than that I would love to do a 'Marathon Series' of sort where I play games from a franchise leading up to the new game. Sonic Forces and Super Mario Odyssey would be my first Marathon Runs so you guys would get to see me suffer through games like Sonic '06 and Boom.

tl;dr I want to stream but I don't want to stream with an empty chat. What do you guys think should I go for it? Would ya'll be mildly interested? I'd be glad to hear any input, negative or positive.

 

[Knight Dude]

Prime Hunter's is fine by me. Though it could have used more original bosses for sure.

I think he's referring to that cancelled Mega Man X FPS titled "Maverick Hunter", which was being developed by former Retro employees and gave more of a Metroid vibe than a Mega Man one.

The gameplay looked pretty alright for what it was. Though I didn't really dig the aesthetic. The guy who did the Iron Man movie art handled the design, it's cool and all(expect the hologram face), but didn't match the series as well, could have been more comic-bookish.

 

[Delzethin]

Hm...you know, I've been wanting to look into that. How different is it from Paint.net?

Another advantage Lucina could have over Saber is the ability to wield lances, a reference to her Great Lord class, and knowing the Fire Emblem triangle, lances beat swords, so that could also help even the game between the two.

But as it's been said, Saber seems too super-hero like for a Death Battle, but it isn't the first time we've had one-sided battles in the past. Ragna vs Sol was a heavily requested Death Battle matchup because of the similarities the two characters share, and look how that turned out: it was incredibly one-sided for Sol.

I only want to see Lucina and Saber fight each other in a Death Battle because both have some very strong similarities with each other. That is, both are female monarchs and swordsmen who have traveled through time in the hopes of saving their kingdom, and they even went as far as disguising their genders (Lucina with her Marth persona and Saber with her hairstyle). If we can't have Lucina and Saber in a Death Battle, they could still fight each other in a One Minute Melee, a.k.a, battles where they don't look into science and stats.

I know that the most popularly requested Death Battle matchup for Saber is Saber vs Erza from Fairy Tale, which definitely fits the superhero female swordswomen thing going on with both of them, but a Death Battle matchup like that would probably not happen for a while since Erza just had a Death Battle of her own.

What do you think of the Berserker vs Hulk matchup though? I mean, both are superhero quality, so it seems like it should be a close battle.

Even with the WT, I doubt less or more 1 Dmg and 10 Hit for Saber would make a lot of difference when all she needs is one shot of Excalibur on Lucina

There's one issue with the "Lance Lucina is an advantage" matter.

Fate series triangle is the inverse.

I like that this confirms Frederick would be summoned as a Berserker, except he wouldn't have a disadvantage

My modem died so I can't post that much anymore

However, I saw the Power Rangers movie last night
Holy **** you guys, they actually made a FUN movie! It isn't filled with edge and it's not too silly, it knows how to balance jokes and seriousness. The CGI for the Zords during the climax is ****ing AMAZING and they even use the GO GO POWER RANGERS theme. I HIGHLY recommend giving it a shot as the trailers did NOT do the movie any justice

Also, in the ending, the Rangers are referred to in a newspaper article as 'masked warriors'

If these guys make a Kamen Rider movie I will faint of hype

On a side note, if anyone here has graphic design experience, I have a question:

How would one 1) put text at an angle like on the top left, and 2) create the paint effect behind said text?

And if you also knew where to find a background similar to the one used in the image, as well as a way that'd allow me to alter its color to whatever I wanted, it'd be much appreciated.

Skew/warp tools in any good image manipulation tool would allow you to warp the text and change its angle.

The paint splatter would have to be generated. An air brush or some kind of scatter brush in your preferred program would achieve this. If you really want to, you could use open source images or the texture from the game.

The background texture IIRC is supposed to be a sky. You could download an open source image for that, or find a program that generates those kinds of images. Fractal generators would be worth looking into. You could also probably find the actual texture from the game.

I would probably watch. Depends on the game though, of course. I wouldn't watch if it were a game I intend on playing one day, but don't want spoilers on.

IMO, streaming some matches in a multiplayer game like Smash or Mario Kart would serve as the best thing for a test stream, since spoilers can't be an issue then. They also have a lot of fast moving action which is good for testing how the bit rate holds up on your stream.

I would recommend using YouTube to stream unless you intend to pay for a premium membership on Twitch or become a Twitch partner.

Oh, and something I have to say about the movie. Quite a lot of people were watching it for a Saturday movie. And only a SINGLE kid was watching

Psycho Red is pretty much one of the most known purely Evil rangers. Since until S.P.D., "normal" evil Rangers always turned good. And it went back to the status quo afterwards.

I really love the new MMPR remix. Reminds me a bit of the Emo Rangers main theme(Season 1). It also is more hard rock at times like the original movie theme, compared to either TV theme(the original and the one with the wind-like instrumental).

It was apparantly from the 95 movie
As in, the only good thing from that movie
It was also hype as they played it when they reimagined this

Best scene of the movie
Well, Except a certain Rita scene but that's too good to spoil

I'm going to see Beauty and the Beast and Power Rangers today. There's a 45 minutes wait in between the movies so I'm hoping to play some Zelda in between them

[Cutie Gwen]

Holy ****

he last summer of the 20th Century. That day, the human beings learn that they are not the only ruler of the planet Earth.

The appearance of the giant living creatures “Kaiju's” and the ultimate existence that destroys all monsters: Godzilla. Through the battle against kaiju’s that lasted for half a century, human beings has experienced continuous defeat, and finally plans to escape from the Earth. And in 2048, only those who were selected by the A.I. managed under the central government boarded the inter-sidereal emigrant spaceship “Aratrum” to head for “Tau Cetus e”, the planet beyond the distance of 11.9 light-year. However, the environmental condition differences between that of the Earth and Tau e, which they finally arrived after 20 years were far beyond the predicted numbers, and was not an environment considered to be habitable by human beings.
The young man on the emigrant ship: Haruo, who saw his parents killed by Godzilla in front of his eyes when he was 4 years old, had only one thing in his mind for 20 years: to return to the Earth and defeat Godzilla. Shut out from the possibility of emigration, as the living environment in the ship deteriorates, the group of “Earth Returnists” led by Haruo became the majority, and determines to head back to Earth through a dangerous long-distance hyperspace navigation.
However, the Earth they have returned has already passed the time of 20,000 years, and has become an unknown world with the ecosystem reigned by Godzilla.
At the end, will human beings win back the Earth? And what will Haruo see beyond his fate…?
