Social NintenZone Social 6.0 - L'Arachel Edition, Apparently?

[Chrono.]

So Zamasu finally showed up in the dub.

He sounds a lot better here than he did in Xenoverse. The VA is still the same guy, James Marsters, you may have known him as Spike from Buffy or Piccolo from DB Evolution. He's a pretty big Dragon Ball fan in general, so after DB Evolution turned out to be... That, it's nice to see him getting an actual role on the show.

In Xenoverse he sounded older but he definitely toned it down here and sounds younger and more fitting.

Latino Zamasu is still the best tho

WHAT IS THE ACTUAL **** IS THAT CAVALRY CHROM?!

Also, obligatory Opossum tag for whenever he comes back.

I saw a Gerome at the end of of the trailer. New TT?

Also, is that literally really saying that Chrom gets +5 to all stats if he's under 100% HP? Cause combined with that Fury, good lord.

Edit: oh wow. I just noticed the Colorless dragons icon.

And that's not even counting Horse Emblem buffs.

The only thing I expect from the Direct tomorrow is Fire Emblem Switch. We still know almost nothing about it, so it would be really nice if we got some news on it.

Nice to see the best daughter make it into the game. Also, Chrom Emblem is now a thing.

Also tfw every lord gets a cool new varient except Marth .

[Tree Gelbman]

I don't expect Smash tomorrow. Even if it's a port I can't see it being revealed before E3. Next to Mario and Zelda in the states that's probably Nintendo's biggest hype machine.

 

[Holder of the Heel]

A little disappointed that it's almost like just 1 new character in the banner, but I'll admit that I'd like to have female Morgan for my flier team and Chrom for my Gunnthra team.

Gerome as a free bonus is appreciated though. Would have preferred Owain but he's good too.

 

[Arcanir]

I'm happy to see the Morgans are finally in the game, they were some of my favorite children from Awakening. Gerome is also nice to see, mostly because I didn't expect him to be in the game for a long time (or at least until the regular versions of Owain, Inigo, and Severa were playable).

As for Chrom, I'm more interested in the colorless dragon icon as I'm not really fond of the alts kick IS has been on lately, it makes me wonder who they have in mind for that (Medeus? Naga? FP!Grima?).

 

[mario123007]

ssuming this doesn't get localized, I think I found the first Switch game I'll import:

I really hope that Gal Metal can be localized... ya know, that drumming rhythm game? Which its artstyle has a bit of Rhythm Heaven vibe if you ask me

I... probably made a semi-regret purchase just today...

This is the Nintendo Switch dockable plastic case from Gametech, a Japanese company that has made accessories for all current gen gaming platforms, yes even Xbone....

The last plastic case I bought was from a Hong Kong based company called Project Design...

so, with me buying both of these case now, here's my quick comparison

Price:
Tl;dr
Gametech> Project Design.... which is odd since I don't feel any premium when it comes to Gametech's...
Gametech is around 499$NT (About 18 US$)
Project Design's is around 250$ (About 9$)

Build:
Both are plastic... literally just plastic, and Gametech I give flag for it already having some bruise scratches already... Project Design's only had one or two scratches. And also Project Designs have matte finish on the dock contact surface, Gamtech on the other hand is all glossy plastic so you will have those parts get scratched when getting in to the dock.

Weight
Both are similar, but I felt Gametech's was somewhat lighter than Project Design's, but in general I can hardly tell the difference.

Comfortableness
This definitely goes to Gametech's with the case being all glossy, unless Project design's where it has rugged plastic on the side, which made my Switch a bit funny to hold... especially my right pinky or some reason... but Gametech's it almost felt like the case isn't there at all.

Compatibleness:
Like most plastic case, don't expect the case perfectly fit in (Compare to Switch... these plastic cases tend to be warped more easily.), however I find odd that Gametech's bottom edge doesn't fit in my Switch too well... I can still press it but it just never fits... but hey, at the case isn't loose.
Project Design fits more better than Gametech's only the top right edge doesn't fit...


Take in/out of dock:
Both are just what it advertises, they both can be docked into the TV... but...
Easiness, Project Design wins over Gametech, don't ask me why... probably it's because the case edge won't bumped to the bottom rubber that easily, whereas Gametech it does so you will need a bit more force to jerk your Switch in to the dock.

Both takes a bit of pull to take it out as well....

So, my conclusion is...
If you want protection for you back cover... if you want to save money, better fitting in dock (Which mean if you are going to use TV mode more frequently), and additional case for your Joy cons, go for Project Design.

If you want comfortableness, better look, not going to play TV mode a lot, go for Gametech's.

COLORLESS DRAGONS WILL BE A THING!

I almost thought about the possibility that Colorless may be Beaststone, especially considering that the Fates Beastkin are popular as well as Ranulf. But then I realized that wouldn't make sense for Falchion to be strong against them.

I just realised that a Staff Dragon is possible. Lilith from Fates. She has a weapon that heals allies in Fates' Castle battle mode. So she can be a Staff Dragon.

Long taken a que será, será approach to Directs.

I see no reason to stop today.

LOL, you totally have a point... but you forgot one thing...
I wasn't really being serious or really try to make GPD Win 2 has a huge advantage over Switch... I was just having fun and I'm pretty sure Red knows that. Only my last statement is real though....

So, I'm gonna continue to make myself look more stupid when it comes to defending a mini gaming laptop

For the record, plenty aware. Hell, I was probably sharper on the attack than I should've been.

Ain't stupid defending it though. The thing's raised more than $2.3 million. People want it. I won't fault anyone who does.

Well there goes $10.

Apparently they're dealing with thundersnow in the northeast now, which sounds hardcore, but probably sucks.

Hope Opo's doing alright.

 

[Z25]

New banner looks good. I’ll probably go for all of them but female Morgan could be a great res tank.

 

[mario123007]

Yeah, but hey, you aren't wrong though.
As for me since I don't have a GPD WIN 2, it was hard for me even to try to defend it.... Despite I did had some fair points.

But all in all, I wasn't trying to start a debate in the first place, I was just showing a Hardware that I found interesting.

So believe it or not, Grima/F!MRobin won the Voting Gauntlet, making him the 2nd Male character to win a VG. Evil triumphs over Waifu-ism in this scenario. Either way, interesting to see that the 2nd Male Winner of a VG is a main villain.

Also, someone hilariously pointed out how M!Robin has lost 3 times like Leo and technically Takumi if you include both his Normal and Fallen versions in this VG, but because Grima is still M!Robin technically, M!Robin also ended up winning. So M!Robin ended up both joining the 3XLosers club and yet overcame it in the same VG.

Edit: Something I just realized with the new trailer is that Female Morgan has an inheritable Tome, as her weapon has a + in it's name. And it has the same properties as Guard Bow, giving +6 DEF/RES when against ranged weapons. So that means we're going to get a Red/Green Tome version at some point and this might give some interesting potential for Blue Tome users with decent defensive stats like V!Lyn, Robin, Odin, Oliver and Shigure.

Oh it's definitely that.

Real talk, if they could figure something out about that price they'd have a fighting chance at claiming at least some market share. I feel like most of the backers they're getting now are from people who would rather get it at $650 than wait for it to jump in price.

I am in awe at RWBY Volume 3 so far. You could tell that the animation quality had improved since the first few volumes. Makes things look lively and sets the stage for more intense fights.

Also, Qrow is the best husbando. No one can say otherwise.

Takumi actually lost four times if you include both versions here as he also lost to Shanna in the Hair gauntlet and Ryoma in the Holiday one. Poor guy just can't catch a break can he?

Regardless, congrats to Grima for the win, you've come a long way my creepy centipede dragon.

I almost thought about the possibility that Colorless may be Beaststone, especially considering that the Fates Beastkin are popular as well as Ranulf. But then I realized that wouldn't make sense for Falchion to be strong against them.

Yeah, as much as I'd love for it to be a hint towards Beaststones, it wouldn't make sense for it to be them. They never had dragon weaknesses before and I doubt IS would change that up now.

With that said, it could be Dragon Laguz since Black Dragons aren't tied to a particular element IIRC, though you could argue they should be Red due to their Thunder magic weakness.

 

[Erureido]

WHAT IS THE ACTUAL **** IS THAT CAVALRY CHROM?!

We're getting both male AND female Morgan? Now that's a surprise.

Chrom as a mounted sword units combined with those skills makes him quite threatening! I also really like his artwork for the banner. Definitely going to try to pull him.

And Gerome showing up as a free unit? That's unexpected. I was personally hoping he'd show up in a banner featuring all the masked characters in Fire Emblem so that we could finally get Conrad in Heroes, but oh well.

The new update is out for FEH, here we have the stats of the new heroes

Female Morgan is the only one that catch my interest, but I'm saving orbs, not too excited about them. We are getting a Tempest Trial with Grima as a boss, guess we're getting Gerome there. Overall good units, but not enough to make me fall for them.

And with the new update, there are some new stuff. Eirika, Leo and Soren got new refinements:
-Eirika grants attack +4 and I think she also gets the buffs of the unit who is most buffed in 2 spaces during combat. Guess that putting Eirika in a horse emblem for example means you can get a Eirika with +6 in all stats, which is cool.
-Leo looses the gravity effect, now reduces magic damage by 30%, and if his defense is higher than the one attacking, foe can not double. Pretty nice buff.
-Soren's new weapon gives -7 attack to whoever has most attack. The refinement increases his stats if he's close to an ally.

And the new modes are also here. I've yet to do the blessings mode (have to choose carefully who I give the blessings to), but I tried Rival Domains and it's pretty awesome. Having such a big map, looking like FE4 right there. Also using friend units is really cool. Pretty nice update, hope they can keep it up.

A Yato Refinement was also hinted for Corrin.

Either way:
-Eirika got a big buff and can fit into mixed teams pretty nicely.
-Soren's weapon looks interesting. Combined with Chill SPD, that can throw a loop in teams. The Refined effect is an Owl Tome effect, which is decent. It does work rather nicely with the Chill ATK effect, as Soren gets more DEF and RES from being close to allies, combined with whatever Spurs/Drives they have.

-Rather sad Leo didn't get AoE Gravity, but Leo got a huge boost in return, first with the lowered Magic damage and than with the Refine effect that gives him an effect like Myrrh's Great flame, preventing doubles, except for ranged units only and Leo only needs to be 1 DEF higher rather than 5 DEF higher like Myrrh. That's a big deal as not only do most mages have low Defense, but it allows him to prevent doubles from Glass cannon archers with low DEF like B!Cordelia, Innes and Brave Lyn.
And that's not even including the fact that a +DEF IV Leo gets +4 in DEF rather than +3. Leo's normal Defense is 25. So a +DEF Leo has 29 DEF. And there are only 13 ranged characters with an equal or higher DEF than that, not counting other +IVs. And that's not even including Buffs and possibly Distant Defense.
Either way, Leo can now make great use of Quick Riposte as he can prevent doubles from opposing ranged enemies and counter twice in return, much like Myrrh. And he can also make great use of Distant Defense in combination with his Magic Guard as well as give him much needed defense against archers. With double Distant Defense, he could possibly survive Reinhardt maybe, but that still needs to be calculated and determined.

Edit: Seems that Gerome comes with a Poleaxe, which is the Axe equivalent of Zanbato and Ridersbane. Also, we are getting a TT where we actually fight Grima. Geez, he's probably going to be the toughest TT final boss to take out since Veronica if you don't have a Falchion user. Also, IS confirmed a Colorless Dragon is coming out. And when I look at Leo's effect, it says "Unit's DEF > Foe's DEF+1" rather than "Unit's DEF - Foe's DEF > 1". Not entirely sure what the former means compared to the latter.
