I do understand what that word means, yet never heard it in urban speak before. Yet why does that word sound so familiar? I think I heard that word in some kind of comedy skit before that word's urban dictionary meaning came up. All that's coming up is some guy saying something about calling something the word or a similar sounding word and another guy just repeating the word in disbelief and a bit of laughter.

The only reason I'm mentioning that is that ever since you said that, I can't get that particular scene out of my head just because it sounds so frickin' familiar to me.

cuboon is an artist. Specifically the one who did both Reinhardts, both Olwens, Palla, both Tanas and Spring Kagero.

Maybe just because it's spelled wrong.

"badunkadunk", does that ring any more bells?

That is probably the word, but it doesn't help me remember more what I'm trying to remember. Like I swear that word was used in some kind of skit that two guys did before that word's urban meaning came to be. It just sounds so familiar.

I don't know why everyone is expecting and wanting Rex when there are better character in Xenoblade 2 to root for.

Root for the Welsh Cat, The Greatest Poet of All Noponkind, the Special Inquisitor, and the Zekenator you cowards.

I mean the only argument is that main character are often the obvious choice...

But some forgot that we already have Shulk.

And it will be so cool if Core Crystals are new assist items.

And here's a video I want to share

Whenever people asks that "Is Taiwan a part of China?" I will always reply to them them that this is a hollow/fallacy question since this question is not only meaningless but also a bit vague when it comes to "China" because in reality there's two Chinas... one is PRC and one is ROC.
The video's description on Taiwan's history is on par, but how he says those who support Taiwan be a part of China/PRC is because it was a part of China during the Ching Dynasty... that's not right at all even if you look at the history. ROC still has the right since it over thrown the Ching Dynsaty in 1911, but then after WWII there were some controversies on whether if ROC has the legit right over the island. And that's how Taiwan Independence appears... as how the video sort of imply that, but when it comes to changing the name is also going to be a problem and difficult since it require the change of the constitution which is a huge hurdle btw.

The last statement saying "Should Taiwan be part of China" my answer is the same with "No" but I will also say I disagree that Taiwan should change its country name either.

And asking whether China will invade Taiwan or not is like asking whether China is going to drink the super hot spicy cool lade... China isn't that stupid... and they don't need to "invade" Taiwan in order to screw the island. Just some huge trade locks and we are pretty much game over...

He also later said this video angered "many" Chinese people... which I found it really funny because... Chinese in the mainland can't even watch Yoututbe, so not sure where he is coming from with that, and also with how the Chinese government do have net armies where they spread malwares in other countries, fake news, or just being trolls, it happens when you have Chinese netizens being mad...

I have asked many Chinese students, and while they think that Taiwan being called ROC is childish, they don't have much opinions on what Taiwan people thinks, they just China to be better and better.

However now people are creating a false sense of popularity for Rex because the Xenoblade community has just sort of agreed to root for one character and they chose Rex. Instead of people rooting for their favourite, they're arbitrarily deciding to root for one they are sorta OK with.

And it's those kind of pointless Smash politics that have completely ruined the speculation and hype cycle for me. Nobody backs the characters they genuinely want anymore (exaggeration I know, but you get the idea). They just make up arbitrary reasons why characters are "more fitting" over other characters and try to get the whole community to back them, creating arbitrary popularity. It's soulless.

I mean this is just some prefer speculating character by reasonable facts instead of their own personal favs, while yes some will be annoyed by that but there's more room to discuss it in that way rather than you calling it soulless. Sometimes we can discuss characters that are more possible in the reality while some are really just some wild guess, which I notice people are more annoyed by those kind of discussion actually.

I remember there were some people were hugely supporting Lara Croft to be in Smash, and mentions how popular she is in the video game industry... but again when it comes to how most characters we see are all from Japan and can be easily cooperate with Nintendo, you know the drill. Popularity doesn't always equal the feasibility.

While I admit Rex isn't like the most fav protagonist... but I'll to the other character just a bit... since I'm a bit mixed when it comes to this.

The different between Rosalina and Rex though is that Rex is essentially the main protagonist of the game.

Asking for Nia over Rex as the first Xenoblade 2 rep would be like getting Fiora instead of Shulk in Smash 4.

Or Jeanne instead of Bayonetta.

Or Tifa instead of Cloud.

You get the idea.

Uh... I actually think that Melia is equally as possible as Rex... same with Reyn...

Nia is literally the female protagonist of XC2. She's Rex's equal, arguably more.

Both are made playable in the first chapter.

Both are the most prominent characters and have the most dialogue, especially in Blade quests.

Both are given a special mechanic that only they can use in the late game, and Nia's is much more in-depth and also required her to have a ton of extra voice lines.

I love Nia too, but logically... Pyra/ Mythra technically is the main female protagonist... sure Rex met Nia first but eventually Pyra has more chemistry with Rex... and I don't think I need to explain more when it comes to the story lol since the entire main story of XC2 involves with Myra/Mythra... and ultimately coffee and milk when you mention the special mechanic.

Nia actually goes through far more character development than Rex too, she basically changes and develops in every other chapter while Rex's characterisation is pretty stagnant and had less effort put into it.

While this can be applied to all main casts... I personally think Nia's back story could have gone even more in depth... but when it comes to character development though, again I can say the same thing with Pyra and especially Mythra.
And again I can't mention enough when it comes to Zeke, from how he was the worst character to me at first into my most fav driver in the game.

I think it's unfounded that people ever had the idea that Rex is the only "viable" choice, and that's before even getting into the debacle of how to handle his moveset (if he just gets Pyra/Mythra as his Blades, which is what people are shooting for, he's gonna be the blandest newcomer we get. Might as well make him a Shulk echo at that point).

I mean I prefer other characters beside Rex as well, but by think the feasibility (I know I use this word a lot lol), I have to admit characters like Melia, Reyn, Cross and Elma are more possible.

And about the Rex having Blades, not sure why that makes him an Echo fighter lol, again, if Sakurai did it right (If he has the time too), Rex could be one of the most unique sword fighter/Duo fighter in Smash.

To ultimately sum this up Chiko, since I'm being super real here, I have already decided that there's no way that there will be any XC2 characters in Smash... even though XC2 reps are my most wanted.

So that's why I can see a lot of people preferring XCX characters or even XC1 characters.

Don't know if anyone saw, but Base Goku and Vegeta got breakdowns.

*You can find base Vegeta in his channel

- Most of their normals and some specials are recycled/remixed from their Blue and Yellow counterparts
- Goku is pretty flashy at a glance and the most visibly "interesting" of the two
- His Kaioken is a rekka that you can prolong the less characters you have on the team.
- He has the regular small Spirit Bomb but you have to charge it using a separate move before using it
- The Super Spirit Bomb is SLOOOOW but you can combo into it using a fully charged up regular Spirit Bomb (or maybe even DHC into it)
- Overall Goku does a lot of damage
- Vegeta is the far less flashy of the two, so he could come off as boring
- He has a low 2L, which Goku doesn't, already a point in his favor
- He's got an instant teleporting overhead which sounds and looks scary to deal with
- He also has a command grab that throws enemies upwards (a cool reference to the Nappa murder), it's got an unique animation if you do it raw
- The Destructo Disc move he does can be angled upwards
- His level 1 is a pretty standard beam except it's similar to Goku Blue's
- The level 3 is literally just a beam that goes upwards, it's not a command grab like Trunks' Heat Dome Attack
- Goku's assist is the two handed palm move. has good range and hits enemies behind you as well
- Vegeta's is the D.Disc
- Sadly, there seems to be only one Dramatic Finish that came with these characters and it's the famous beam struggle

My Summer Takumi has been on a role with those past GHBs. Over the past two days, he beat Xander's, Arvis's, and Narcian's Infernal GHBs.

Today, Summer Takumi had his proudest accomplishment... he defeated his evil counterpart in the Infested Takumi Infernal GHB!

Yep, Summer Takumi managed to beat what is arguably the hardest GHB in the game with the help of his usual dance support. I even used the same team to beat the GHB on Lunatic difficulty, which I failed to beat back when this GHB first showed up.

For such a major accomplishment, I wrote down my entire strat for how I won the Infested Takumi Infernal GHB using only my Summer Takumi. Fill free to read it if any of you are looking for a potential strategy to beat this difficult GHB.

Spoiler: Infested Takumi GHB Infernal with Summer Takumi solo

Team: Summer Takumi, Flying Olivia, PA!Azura, and Normal Azura

Starting positions: Summer Takumi (top left), Flying Olivia (top right), Normal Azura (bottom left), and PA!Azura (bottom right)

Turn 1:

1. Summer Takumi attacks the wall that is two spaces in front of him.
2. Normal Azura stays where she is at to sing to Summer Takumi so that he can break that same wall down.
3. Summer Takumi attacks the wall in front of him agin to destroy it.
4. Flying Olivia moves two spaces left to sing to Takumi.
5. Summer Takumi moves one space right to attack the next wall in front of him.
6. PA!Azura attacks the wall in front of her from where she is at to destroy it.

Turn 2:

1. Summer Takumi moves one space right, then one space down to KO the Blue Mage that just appeared at the beginning of the turn.
2. PA!Azura sings to Takumi from where she is currently at.
3. Summer Takumi moves one space down to KO the Bow Knight.
4. Normal Azura moves one space down, then one space right to sing to Takumi.
5. Summer Takumi moves two spaces left to KO the Infantry Sword unit that just appeared at the beginning of the turn.
6. Flying Olivia moves one space right, then one space down to sing to Takumi.
7. Summer Takumi moves one space left to KO the incoming Lance Cavalier.
8. The Cleric on the left will attack Takumi, but he'll survive with 31 HP after the attack.

Turn 3:

1. Summer Takumi moves one space left to KO the Thief that just appeared at the beginning of the turn.
2. Flying Olivia moves one space left, then one space down to sing to Takumi.
3. Summer Takumi moves two spaces right. He shouldn't attack the two Clerics right away because that will put him in range of the two Infested Takumis, so it's better to deal with the enemy units on the right for this turn.
4. Normal Azura moves one space up, then one space left to sing to Takumi.
5. Summer Takumi moves one space right to the KO the Sword Wyvern Knight.
6. PA!Azura sings to Takumi from where she is currently at.
7. Summer Takumi moves one space right, then one space down to KO the Green Mage that just appeared at the beginning of the turn.
8. Skadi activates and attacks everyone. One Cleric will attack Takumi, but he survives with 5 HP remaining. Another Cleric attacks Flying Olivia, and she survives with 4 HP remaining.

Turn 4:

1. Summer Takumi moves one space up, then one space left to KO the nearest Cleric.
2. PA!Azura sings to Takumi from where she is currently at.
3. Summer Takumi moves one space left, then one space down to KO the last Cleric.
4. At this point, it is important to keep all units out of the enemy's range during the enemy phase. Thus, Normal Azura moves one space down to sing to Takumi.
5. Summer Takumi moves one space up, then one space right to stay out of enemy range for the enemy phase, but close enough so that he can perform a kill on the approaching Axe Cavalier after it moves.
6. Flying Olivia moves one space up to stay out of enemy range.

Turn 5:

1. Summer Takumi moves two spaces left to KO the incoming Axe Cavalier.
2. Flying Olivia sings to Takumi from where she is currently at.
3. Summer Takumi moves one space up, then one space left to stay out of enemy range.
4. Normal Azura moves two spaces up to stay out of enemy range.
5. PA!Azura moves one space up to stay out of enemy range.

Turn 6:

1. If Summer Takumi tries to attack the nearest Infested Takumi right away, he will be KOd because Summer Takumi won't deal enough damage to him without the Luna. At this point in the turn, Summer Takumi's cool down until his next Luna proc is 2, so one of the Dancers needs to soften the closest Infested Takumi so that Summer Takumi can safely kill him. For this case, PA!Azura moves one space down, then one space right to attack the Infested Takumi closest to her (the one on top of the the other Infested Takumi).
2. PA!Azura's attack will put that Infested Takumi's HP in the right range for Summer Takumi to safely land the kill without Luna. Thus, Summer Takumi moves one space right to KO the Infested Takumi that was just damaged.
3. Normal Azura moves one space right to sing to Takumi.
4. Summer Takumi moves one space down to KO the other Infested Takumi (by this point, Summer Takumi will have the Luna proc ready, so he is completely safe).
5. Flying Olivia moves two spaces right to sing to Takumi.
6. Summer Takumi moves either one space down or one space right to KO the Red Mage Cavalier that is remaining.

Congratulations! The Happy Pineapple has successfully prevailed over the Edgy, Evil Pineapple!

I've cleared all of my map now. I spent two hours in the tundra mountains trying to find the Gerudo tower when I was on the completely opposite side of where I was supposed to be and got wrecked by Lynels sniping my ass a new one about three times.
