I just realized something

Well, he did crossover with Batman once so it's not really far-fetched for him to show up in a DC fighting game. Where else is he going to cameo? Soul Calibur? Yeah, like that makes sense...

Wait.




In all seriousness though I hope he does show up in Injustice 2. I really love Spawn and he's a far better guest than Raiden or Sub-Zero.
Eh, DC Universe is violent enough for MK characters. To be fair, it's not like they haven't crossed over before.

That said, I picked up SCII for Xbox because of Spawn. I already owned the GC version. I had no interest in Tekken, so I didn't go for the PS2 version(also, to be fair, Heihachi doesn't fit well balance-wise due to a serious lack of range, at least compared to the other guests).

I'm not saying MK characters are bad guest characters. On the contrary, I loved Scorpion and Sub-Zero is probably my most anticipated of the first three. Really don't care for Raiden making it in though, save him for 3 or even a premier skin? I'm just saying in terms of their comic book roots Spawn fits quite nicely.

I own every version of SC2. I adore that game and series. Out of the three though, stylistically, Spawn stuck out like a sore thumb among the cast. Heihachi was weird cause he didn't have an actual weapon. And Link was just bloody ****ing perfect. The only other one that comes close is Ezio in 5 but we don't talk about that game. And if we do we don't talk about any of the new characters.

Speaking of which, next Soul Calibur for Switch with FE guest fighters?

My guess is Raiden is there due to the fact DC Universe has far more electrical characters compared to Undead? That or they only wanted to milk one major character and have a lesser one in. Another factor is that DC is full of Deities too. Raiden fits in due to that alone. Scorpion feels like he could fit into Marvel better, if only due to Ghost Rider. Totally agree Scorpion should be in there too.

That said, I can't remember any Thunder Gods in the DC Universe. Maybe he didn't feel right as a skin due to that? Although now that I think about it, Shao Kahn could fit easily in either Marvel or DC due to his design. He's basically Hulk as a god with projectiles, and proper speech, at times. ...And more clothing, barely. >.>

Or they could have just used Static Shock who's a popular request for Injustice to begin with

Or both. Since it's still fairly easy to make them unique from each other anyway.

No reason to leave someone out for another when it's pretty easy to have various characters who just happen to shame some similar powers. Especially when you consider Static's flying in the show can be taken into account to easily give him more unique moves.

They got rid of Lobo, Killer Frost and Deathstroke and added characters who played/looked similar to the cuts. PLUS I'M PRETTY SURE THERE WAS CONCEPT ART FOR STATIC FLYING AROUND AND HE WAS LITERALLY A HIGHLY REQUESTED CHARACTER WHO DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO THE LAST

Your capslock is broken. Try fixing it, please.

And that's too bad. Guess Static's chances are small. They didn't outright say he won't be in, did they? The concept art means he might still have a chance, though.

Well. I played about as much Xenoblade Chronicles X as I plan on playing.

Did 99% of the missions and beat the main story.

I really enjoyed it.

That said, I took the time to change my avatar and sig.

What do you think?

I think you have solid taste in avis and you need to finish EOU.

In reverse order of importance.
That's the game I plan on focusing on next.

It's just...

That game is soooo long and I feel like I can play for hours without getting anywhere.

Does anyone here watch or read My Hero Academia?

I saw a clip today and the animation looks awesome.
I'm about to binge a bit of it with a friend and when I get home I'll be able to see the newest episode (watching the dub). Though I'm expecting 3 volumes of the manga in the mail

I'm glad they cut Rosalina in favour if Roslina in Smash Switch.

She was always the more popular one of the two anyway.

People miss Killer Frost? Captain Cold is much better.
And I kinda hope Static is saved for Injustice 3 so he has a story mode role

Finally completed Specter of Torment.

Prefer Plague Knight's story, but God. Damn. Speccy's mechanics are satisfying.

I tried out my Switch despite with no games to play, I had tried the Joy Con wrist strap while watching Nintendo's Joy Con wrist strap video. The main two features that you have to pay attention are the +- mark and the locks. A single strap can actually being put on both Joy Cons (Yeah, I didn't realize that until I bought the console...), and you have to push the lock to secure the strap. Many people were arguing that taking off straps feels like it can hurt the Joy Con, when I take it off I didn't need that much strength and it slide off pretty smoothly. So again, Joy Con straps aren't really a problem, it would be better if the +- marks are more significant though.

And I don't know if it's just me, but when I turn off my Switch into sleep mode, I found that pressing home button right after it goes to sleep can't be turn on immediately. You have to wait for a moment and then press the home button. One time I was pressing the home button when it wasn't turning on. I somehow notice the top left corner of my Switch flashed a bit. I thought Switch had a light there, but I later concern it might be a spark or something. It's probably just my illusion since I check there were no marks, heat, or damage at all. And I tried to see if it happens again, no, it did not.
I try to connect to my TV, it is an CRT but recently has a digital channel box being connected to that has HDMI port. Unfortunately I connect it and put my Switch in the dock, the green light did show, but the TV has no signal at all.

E3 is in, what, three days, yeah?

Looking forward to it. This'll be the first time I'll be able to watch the entire thing.
You mean watch the Nintendo Spotlight? It's nearly impossible for me to watch the entire Treehouse Live at E3. I usually just watch the replay and the games I want to see.
The first time I watch E3 live was 2014, when I started to use Youtube a lot.
Rumor says that Xenoblade Chronicles 2 will be delayed, expected but I am not that disappointed, especially if they delayed in order to make the game better.

I'm pretty sure you can, but it's only a 0.2% chance for it to drop.

I know that enemies summoned by Cantors or Witches don't drop the items but the guy who runs SF said that you can get it from the multiplying Balors. But I haven't actually tried it so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: If I'm remembering how probability works right, that means you'd have to kill 500 Balors to be guarunteed a drop.

Yeah I saw that, but I haven't seen anybody necessarily confirm it works.

Guess I'll look for some podcasts or something to listen to and keep at it. It's fun watching units level up anyway.

Its EA, who gives a ****.

But wait. Then what's happening 13-15? I looked up the schedule online, it said it was all starting Tuesday.

The hell. Now I'm confused.
EA is today, Bethesda and Microsoft tomorrow, Sony, Ubisoft and the PC gaming show on Monday, Nintendo Showcase on Tuesday
