So here's something I didn't really know, USF2 has a newly remixed SF2 OST. All this time I was assuming we'd be getting the techno remixes HD Remix got.

On that note, here's the Violent Ken theme.

Sounds rather Castlevania-ish.

I have to be honest, both Evil Ryu and Violent Ken's themes are really good.

If the other character's themes are just as good or better, I'd buy the soundtrack.

And people thought this wouldn't happen. lul

*sounds of rumbling in the distance*

y'all hear that?

That's the sound of Japan suddenly buying millions of switches

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Holy ****.

I just heard Guile, Zangief, Dee Jay, Cammy, Ryu, Chun Li, E. Honda, Fei Long, and the Shadaloo four's USF2 themes.

They're so good

 

[Mythra]

Inb4 USF2's Soundtrack sells more copies than the game itself.

 

[Robertman2]

I might grab USFII. Dunno

 

[Curious Villager]

Yeah, they used the original name for the Japanese release and called it Disgaea 5 Complete for the US one. So you downloading it early off of the Japanese Eshop means yours has a different name even if nothing else is changed.

And your criteria for calling the 3DS dead is precisely why I think Nintendo says the Switch isn't a replacement. Even if the Switch eventually gets all the big handheld franchises, it'll never be able to outright replace having a 3DS because the 3DS will always have games only it can play.

I can see why people want to play more games on their shiny new Switch, but the attempts by people to bury the 3DS before the torch is properly passed admittedly feel rather uncomfortable to watch. The Switch hasn't even fully kicked off yet, the 3DS getting some support while the new system is eased in makes perfect sense and doesn't warrant the kind of aggression it gets from people. The Wii U not even having enough of a support base to bother with post-Switch is basically a freak accident in the grand scheme of things, that's not usually how transitions from system to system work at all.

People just want their HD Pokemon/Professor Layton/Ace Attorney/whatever predominantly handheld franchise on their shiny new Switch as soon as possible and want Nintendo to kill off the 3DS in order to speed up that process.
I agree that Nintendo shouldn't force on the transition from the 3DS to the Switch onto the playerbase by completely killing off the 3DS while the Switch is still trying to get its bearing on. Especially since the 3DS is still selling well and having games coming out for it. If the Switch is really going to replace the 3DS, then they should allow the consumers to smoothly make their transition to the new console and not immediately forcing them to move on.

Now I'm kinda wishing 3rd Strike had gotten the USF2 treatment.

But that's mostly my own bias because 3S is one of my favorite fighting games.

Just finished the final battle of Act 4 in Fire Emblem Echoes.

Spoiler: Act 4 Final Battle spoilers

Rudolph himself is quite the philosopher. When Berkut begs him to partake in the battle, Rudolph dismisses him and says this:

As for the battle itself, let me begin by saying Rudolf's battle theme is absolutely amazing!

I had chills throughout the entire battle because of that theme. That opera in the background sounds so grand and fitting for an emperor that is about to lose his kingdom to a Zofian army led by his son.

And I gotta say, the battle itself was very enjoyable as well. I chose not to cheese the map by warping Alm to Rudolph and finishing him off from there and instead went the longer route. Archer!Tobin and Python KO'd the Arcanist and the Bow Knights on Rudolph's side. When the Gold Knights and Bow Knights started charging toward my units' locations, I had Invoke units charge at them to buy some time. Admittedly, I should've KO'd the Bow Knights on the left side first because that would've made the battle a lot easier, but I did not know the Bow Knights on Rudolph's side never charge.

When the Gold Knights and Bow Knights arrived when most of my Invoke units died, I had Lukas and Forsyth stand at the center of the two walls and take all of the hits from the Gold Knights. I knew I couldn't rush through the map easily because there were two Gold Knights with Ridersbane, so throwing Mathilda, Clive, and Zeke right away was out of the question. Lukas and Forsyth took every hit like a boss, and I even landed some kills on some distant yet not-too-far Gold Knights with Mage Ring! Delthea. Then I used Rescue on Delthea to put her away from the Bow Knights' range so that only Lukas and Forsyth would land some kills. Once the Ridersbane!Gold Knights were gone, that's when all my units charged forward and landed the kills on the other Bow Knights. I even managed to catch up with the escaping Javelin!Gold Knight before it could reach Rudolph's wall to heal at the supplies box. I also managed to snag a kill on the other Arcanist with Python then had Faye use Rescue on him so that he wouldn't be slaughtered by the Javelin!Barons. From there, all of my units charged forward toward Rudolph and his Barons. Tatiana's Invoke Units baited some of the Barons, and then Rudolph charged forward. Lukas took the hit well, and both him and Forsyth lowered his HP. Alm then attacked, and Delthea landed the final blow.

The battle ended, and in Rudolph's final moments, he reveals that Alm is his son. There was plenty of foreshadowing to this twist, so it wasn't surprising. Still, this was a very powerful scene. The voice acting really delivered when Rudolph gave his last words followed with Alm's grief. And I gotta say, I really felt bad for Alm during the scene. The poor kid found out he killed his own father, who he never imagined being related to at all. I felt for him when he cried, followed with the scene when he talks to Mycen in the castle. Alm is on the verge of crying as he questions why Mycen would hide such information for so long, and it's pretty understandable why he'd be so upset.

I'm also about to tackle the Act 5 Dungeon. Some thoughts on the story bits of Act 5's opening as well as a question.

Spoiler: Act 5 opening spoilers

Berkut learned the truth about Alm, and he is furious and upset. Ian Sinclair makes such an amazing VA for him. The way how Berkut says, "Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, LIES" was very chilling and conveys his emotions perfectly.

And you want to know how extreme Berkut's emotions were? He so upset that he kills Rinea, his wife, and turns her into a witch just because he thinks Rinea never wanted to be empress, and to him, he thinks she was always against him as well. Yet, Rinea still tried to console him, and she stated she would still be his loving wife. Wow... just wow. It seems like Witch!Rinea even attacked Fernand, who unfortunately had to walk into the altar at the wrong time.

Here's where the question comes into play:

On the Fire Emblem reddit and Serenesforest, I'm noticing the fanbase is divided on Berkut as a character. I noticed that many of his disdainers/haters mention, "Berkut is a terrible character/villain because he did a certain questionable thing towards the end of the game." No one mentions what the "questionable thing" is because it's referring to a lategadme spoiler, but I'm assuming it's referring to the scene when he lashes out at Rinea and turns her into a witch. Am I correct?

If that's the case, I can definitely see why those fans are very cynical of him. I personally do not care for Rinea at all because she didn't appear much during the story and she seemed rather stale as a character, but she was only trying to console him, and he lashes out to quite the extreme.

 

[Chrono.]

I'd like to think that would happen if USF2 sells really well.

I hope so.

I'd kill for a portable version of that game.

That would make SFV the only mainline SF that hasn't gotten a Nintendo release in any form whatsoever.

SFI (aka Fighting Street) - Wii VC
SFII - SNES, Switch, etc.
SSFIV - 3DS

[Yellowlord]

Wow, so Monster Hunter on the Switch is a thing? Makes me wonder if I should try the series for the first time whenever the game comes out...

Gotta say though, Nintendo; you're doing a wonderful job so far. Now announce Smash Bros, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Golden Sun, and Advance Wars; if you do this, you will make many fans very happy including me with Smash, Donkey Kong, and Golden Sun.

Sure, I may be going a bit overboard, but these specific series being announced would easily help Nintendo win E3.

It has to be E3 for anyone to win E3.

I sure hope Red Hood does some Gunkata Equilibrium **** in his moveset. I think in some of the newer comics he also had a katana, but obviously they aren't using that for this version at the moment. I hope we can make him look like his Arkham Knight version.

And I'm almost to the final boss, I just need to do a couple more things and I should be able to take on the map before the end of the night. Before I get to it though, there were a couple interesting details I wanted to comment on before I make it to the final battle.

Spoiler: Fire Emblem Echoes Act 4

Remember how there was a conversation about the lack of boss conversations in the past few FE games, particularly those that don't involve the main character? Well, it looks like Echoes snuck in just one, and it's one between two characters you initially wouldn't expect it to be.

As it turns out, that one character you could completely skip over has a connection to one of the main villains in the game, as well as two minor ones. It's an interesting detail about her and Jedah, and it makes her comments about her sisters in the base conversations a bit more depressing as well.

On a note on the boss in Act 5.

Spoiler: Echoes Act 5

While I don't care for Rinea, her fate does add a new element to the Witches in the game. While we knew they gave their souls up to Duma, the game never says that they willingly do so, and as we see with her she was turned into one against her will. So that means the witches we encounter could very well have been forced to become so, thus being turned into soulless husks against their will. Kind of a chilling thought and a sad fate for the poor girls, particularly since we fight them constantly across the game and they potentially had no choice in their role in the war. It also makes the above fact about Sonya and her sisters even more sad since she lost her sisters to her father's greed and nothing says they willingly went along with it aside from Jedah's gloating.

That line-up was too one sided. There was one vote for Grant and another for Sypha. But Alucard destroyed both of and even Eric in the end. He was always one of the more stronger non-Belmont in the universe, being Dracula's son and all.

Next up are more Castlevania heroes from the early 3D titles in addition to ones like Order of Ecclesia and Rondo of Blood. Your choices are Maria Renard, Cornell, Carrie Hernandez, and Shanoa.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Stuck between Maria and Cornell, the former because she's great in SotN and being able to fight with the Four Symbols sounds very fun while with the latter I always liked the werewolf in Judgement and he could be fun to play with in Smash.

Proceeding through the Act 5 Dungeon in FE: Echoes....

Spoiler: Act 5 Dungeon spoilers

I think I just found the best boss theme ever created. This is Berkut's battle theme when you fight him in the dungeon:

Damn, what an amazing song!

And it was a tough battle to boot. Very surprised I managed to beat it on my first try. The first few turns were not too difficult. Lukas and Forsyth handled the Baron Terrors with some help from Delthea, Invoke Dread Fighters took care of the opposing Dread Fighters, and Mercenary!Gray, Python, and Mathilda took out the Arcanists. Then the witches, and while it get tense at times, I survived it. The real challenge was taking out Rinea before Berkut because I knew she was the main problem aside from Berkut's immensely boosted stats. Many of the turns were just Invoke Dread Fighters trying to little both enemies' HP followed with some attempted kills at Rinea with either Clair's Iron Lance Longreach Art or Mathilda herself. If either failed to kill her, Faye just rescued them and the other healers healed them up. Eventually, Delthea's Ragnarock was enough to kill Rinea when the time was right (again helped by the Mage Ring). That left only Berkut, and I managed to kill him after two Ragnarock's from Delthea followed by a Double Lion from Alm.

The part of the Dungeon where Alm fights all of the enemies by himself was surprising yet pretty duable. Got the Falchion by the end of it.

And now, I'm about to tackle the final boss. Wish me luck!

…after reading Rian Johnson’s script for The Last Jedi, Hamill said, “I at one point had to say to Rian, ‘I pretty much fundamentally disagree with every choice you’ve made for this character. Now, having said that, I have gotten it off my chest, and my job now is to take what you’ve created and do my best to realize your vision.’”

This concerns me.

I've been looking for a Jangmo-o, but I caught a Hakamo-o instead. Then, I went and caught a Jangmo-o. The Hakamo-o's joining my main team.

I completed the Vast Poni Canyons trial. YuseiWhatNow came out first and removed Kommo-o's attack boost with Intimidate. After YuseiWhatNow was defeated, I threw out MinunTympole, and had it paralyze both Kommo-o and Hakamo-o with Thunder Wave. After MinunTympole was down, next was a I had on my team. After Soaking Kommo-o, I switched to Garchomp and finished the battle using Dig and Outrage.

With YuseiWhatNow and Uno evolving, all the team's Pokemon are in their third stage, and level 50 or above.

YuseiWhatNow (Level 50)

Uno (Level 53)
