[praline]

praline Coricus I see you two are playing the. D5 demo, how do you like it?

It's alright. I'm having trouble moving the units where I want them.

Coricus what is your friend code?

Big surprise, everyone bought themselves a Sega Saturn to avoid getting beaten by Segata Sanshiro. Other Saturn characters were proven to be unpopular, even Thou despite his grand cameo in a Burning Ranger's racing track. Wasn't Segata alike a popular Smash joke request in Japan?

Nevermind, it's time to talk about another 3D fighter series that Sega had that isn't Virtua Fighter (which will be covered later). Fighting Vipers being one of those games famous for a certain pop singer with destructible armor and Pepsiman (who is a Japan-only character). Your choices are Bahn, Honey, Raxel, and Grace. I may do the whole roster if most of you are familiar with or remotely played Fighting Vipers before.

Its easyier to use the d pad when moving the cursor I found out. That way you dont zoom over the spot you want to go to. Also, not sure if its in the demo, but the settings have an option to change the speed of said cursor

Unrelated but, why did Grace always remind me so much of Esmerelda?



Even the hair matches a bit too much.

Nah I mean like the fact that it's isometric really messes with my brain.

Honestly though I probably won't get the game for a while because well... you know.

Honestly, when it first shown up, I thought it was going to downright outrage the entire internet and the video would get overwhelming dislike clicks.

But seeing the like/dislike ratio is 20-to-1 and that people are impressed with lots of meming, I'm very surprised and see I am wrong.

 

[Ivander]

Man I wish you could buy those big emblem things in Heroes either with real money or orbs or feathers or something.

I don't see how you can't have those, especially considering they are only used for 4* to 5*. I mean, I have like a whole wack load of them. Heck, I just upgraded a 4* to 5*(Xander) after working a whole load and I still have about 180-190 Big Reds.

I feel a strange impulse to just give that first one a hug. The art's down to minor issues in a mostly fine image and doesn't trace as far as I can tell, and the contrast between the edginess and the innocent grin makes me smile a bit on the inside.

The third one on the other hand gives me a vibe that it's just a parody of the concept. Second one looks like they dumped Sonic, Mario, and Stewie in a blender with expired marshmallows to see what would happen.

Most of the skepticism of the idea is just people being afraid of the armchair analysts and the media using this as fuel against Sonic fans.

Most people are happy with the idea and specifically, this kind of thing in a Sonic game is super appealing to kids. There are some valid concerns regarding how it will effect gameplay and story but the concept itself is no different than any other character creator.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Now I see why my download for Phantom Dust is taking a while: It's installing on my PC & Xbox One at the same time.

Think I'll pause one of them for now.

I have like 15 max of each colour.

All I see is two Sonics.

So you're saying they really are making Generations 2, huh?

I'd go a step further and say I've seen character creators that at minimum have far less customization options than what I've seen so far, and this isn't even with a human template. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being superior in other details compared to character creators in some other games as well.

As far as a character creator goes, it doesn't look bad. There's a slight level of roughness in the way the levels look, but considering the levels are likely meant to be passed with different Wisp weapons that presumably have very different ways of attacking I can give it a pass until further notice.

I actually have a theory that OC and Modern Sonic at least, will share the same levels, but only certain areas will be accessible to one or the other a la S3&K.

Because the OC definitely appeared to be running through what seems like the exact same layout we saw Modern Sonic go through before.

Yeah, the first one isn't that bad. I don't mind it too much

Had to pull a Mini-Bingo for this.
Small bingo as I expect a small direct, and I wanna save Spongebob frames for the E3

Green is for ARMS stuff, Orange for Splatoon and Blue for either.

Scarecrow is amazing in Injustice 2. Love his design so god damn much. And the voice. And his playstyle

Isn't the direct entirely Arms, except for a Splatoon trailer?

Also I love that you have a Spongebob screenshot for everything.

Nintendo has great taste in wrestlers. Cesaro has great taste in systems (I guess I dont have a switch yet)

I know this is too soon, but we know that those tricks won't get away with hating Sonic on Sammy's watch.

Thank SpongeBob for being relevant for anything lol.

We don't know how packed the Splatoon trailer can be, so I gave them an extra slot just in case.

The way this bingo came out left me very unsatisfied because I played conservative by using 8 slots + Free Space, but I can assure you the E3 one will be damn sexy.

My name leads to a a super bland, sonic colored hedgehog wearing a tie and glasses. Apparently i'm so boring, even my OC is boring.

It's cool man, sometimes the thread doesn't find bananas appeeling.
