Oh god. So I got reminded that Icons is a thing.

So as a recap:

- Artstyle is still horrible
- Gunslinger is the only remotely interesting character
- Other movesets are still creatively bankrupt
- Zhurong is the worst offender, literally copying basically all of Marth's attacks and animations except for his side special
- Wavedashing literally makes the Wavedash Games logo, which is the most circlejerky thing imaginable
- Marth Function vs Fox Function Infinite

Like, I just don't get it. You're already trying to appeal to the Melee crowd by giving it Melee physics. If you copy literally everything else, there's no point in playing it.

I rate it a Shovelware Offbrand Garbage/10
Yeah, I'm not big on the artstyle either. And I've got no problem with characters being homages/references to other characters, I mean, Shovel Knight's main character and 8 bosses are reminiscent of Mega Man and a group of Robot Masters, for example. And the main chick in Bloodstained is pretty cool for a Castlevania based game. But these guys aren't terribly interesting, even when knowing their source of inspiration.

I mean, design wise, Zhurong is kind of cool, but moveset wise, she's just Marth with Laura's(SFV) projectile.

Also, most of the Melee crowd is just gonna stick to their game as it is anyway. Rivals of Aether has some cool looking characters at least.

The way I see it, there's a difference between a homage/inspiration and just ripping off something and hoping for the best. And you can almost smell it on a game.

That's generally the difference between a really successful game taking off and a garbage pile bursting open on the floor.

That game looks very lazily made.

Spent all 200 orbs I had to get the new Hinoka... was really hoping I could have had decent luck because I failed to get Legendary Robin last time. Now I'll almost certainly miss out again. The Hinoka I pulled has a -SPD bane as well... Better to have one rather than none I suppose. Her stats aren't what was interesting about her to me anyways.

Worst part is, its probably fun to play.

But the lack of creativity and designs just make me lose interest...

Funny you spent it all on a hero, I would do the same. :laugh:

*Sigh*
Still the shiny thing...I'll see ya in a while again.

But b4 that...
The official Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild official soundtrack has just released in Japan, and some of the tracks from it are making their way onto Youtube.

Now, want to know the best part about it?

Remember that amazing BotW trailer that played during that Switch presentation in January 2017? You know, the really epic one with that stellar soundtrack! Yeah, it should bring back those awesome memories.

There has never been a clean audio of that particular track (since it couldn't be found within the game data)... until now! Thanks to release of official soundtrack for BotW, we finally have clean audio of that amazing track!

Sit back and listen to the BotW trailer music from the first Switch presentation in all of its clean and unfiltered glory!


Ah, this song brings back so many great memories!



Ooo, some new details on Rama! I didn't think he had a Gate of Babylon-style of attacking.

I also read a bit of his bio in that reddit link. I didn't know he's an animal lover and has such a soft spot for them.

Looks like Rama and I have something in common!
YOU ARE TELLIJG ME THIS BOTW SONG IS NOT ACTUALLY IN THE GAME?! IVE BERN LIED TO!!

If you guys want a dang solid Smash clone with Melee mechanics, play Rivals of Aether.

It clearly has characters inspired by the Melee vets, but it does so much to make it its own thing and has very fun and unique ideas.

Icons is... Man I wanna like it, and I'm sure it would be fun to play, but if MvCI taught us anything, solid gameplay alone isn't enough to make a game successful.

People say graphics don't matter.

And well, they technically don't.

Presentation, however, matters a hell of a lot.

Graphics can matter, but it depends on the game itself.

Nobody wants to traverse an ugly Skyrim, for example.

But most of the time, you most certainly don't pay dollar for good graphics.

Wow, South Park Switch has touch screen feature.

I have to applaud Ubisoft for putting extra effort in this port.

Also, I ran across one of my most favorite songs from the show

Iedot! Rapss!
VLR and ZTD have me looking for acronyms in everything nowadays.

When you look at it, all it seems to be is gibberish, but if you look closely...

There! Look closely.
Here, we can see the secret message, "STORE AS DIP"

It seems that this is a secret message. What looks to be random, meaningless gibberish is actually a reminder to not let the guacamole go bad! Incredible!

I don't know what the team is planning but I would be truly surprised if the new additions that were planned for PM but never implemented didn't get repurposed for Icons. The move set they had for Lyn was amazing.

So remember Male Kana and how he's coming on a GHB? Well, apparentely his skills are Brazen DEF/RES 3 and Fortify Dragons. Let's see:
-Male Kana has 31 DEF and 29 RES.
-With his Water Breath+, he gets to 35/33 when attacked.
-If he gets under 80% HP, he gets an additional 7 on top of both, making it 42/40.
-And Water Breath+ is refine-able, meaning he can get either an additional 4 DEF or RES, making it either 46/40 or 42/44.
-Add in Fortify Dragons, he is at either 52/46 or 48/50.
-Add in 2 Ward Dragons, he's at 60/54 or 56/58.
-Add in a Distant Defense Seal or Close Defense Seal, he's at 66/60 or 62/64.

And M!Kana is our first F2P Dragon unit. And people say that IS has been neglecting F2P lately. :smirk:
