If you want your five years on Smashboards back, do what Bulma was going to do in DBS: Broly and wish to be 5 years younger.

Just remember to turn your power-scaling brain back on.

Otherwise you end up like those people who think power-scaling doesn't matter (it does, otherwise you have no consistency).

Yeah I hate how wack powerscalling is in the post-2008 material. There's no effort in maintaining any sort of consistency other than "Goku is da best" and "Vegeta is a close second". That's Toei for you.

You can argue Toriyama didn't pay too much attention to that in his prime but at the very minimum, he made an effort to make things make sense even if he wasn't crunching power levels. With DBS, it's like "lets just have this generic minion beat on Gohan/Piccolo because why not".

I think that anyone who says they hate power-scaling doesn't actually understand what power-scaling even is.

In a series like Dragon Ball, where raw power is generally the only thing that matters: if A > B and B > C, then A > C. This is pretty easy to understand, this is the core of Power-scaling.

In a series like One Piece or JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, where what kind of power you have matters more than your raw power, this kind of formula doesn't work, except in certain cases.

And then you get the people who say "feats are the only thing that matters, statements are never accurate".

Yeah those are the same idiots who completely miss the point saying "power levels don't matter" in reference to powerscaling when the two aren't the same. It's basic common sense that they seem to miss or just don't care about. Toei to for that matter.

Seems like Crossplay between Nintendo and Microsoft is reaching it's next step.

Not sure if this means some X-BOX titles will on Switch now as well or not. Would be cool if Cuphead was at least.

There's no way they're going to allow us to play Xbox games on the Switch but since I own an Xbone I'll be getting it.

Despite this, I still don't believe we'll be getting any Microsoft content in Smash.

Steve/Banjo is definitely happening at the very least. Although I'm like 85-15 Steve.

Toriyama didn't stop using Power Levels because they "don't matter", the reason Toriyama stopped using power levels is because it gave a numerical stat to the characters and gave away who was going to win, removing almost all the tension from fights, he actually said this himself.

If you know Goku has a Power Level of 180,000 (admittedly, using the x2 Kaioken) and Ginyu has a Power Level of 120,000, you know who's going to win in a fight between the two.

...You know it would have been really fun if Ginyu body-changed with Goku, and then Goku used the Kaioken in Ginyu's body (for a Power Level of 240,000) and they almost immediately switched back.

Speaking of the Kaioken, I just remembered that one guy who said that the Kaioken's power up was "arbitrary". It's a numerical multiplier, that's the opposite of arbitrary!

That Funky Kong fight in WoL should be added to the list of "annoying as ****" fights. Holy crap. Managed to somehow win with Simon.

If we're being serious, I do kinda get annoyed when some people are all like "lol, Sportsball am I right fellow nerds?" Dammit, it shouldn't be that weird to like both. We're not sitcom characters. We're ****** who like to ****post on the internet.

The "sportsball" phrase gets a chuckle out of me. But in all seriousness, I do like watching certain sports. I LOVE watching hockey, and while post-season basketball has issues, I do enjoy regular season basketball. I'm also a fan of soccer depending on the day.

But, American football has lost its luster recently, and baseball is just...so hard to sit through. I am only able to watch highlights of baseball games nowadays, and that's at MAX.
