This evening has been the best evening I ever had.

Starting out, I got to eat dinner with old college best friends of mine. Then, we went to see Wreck-It-Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet (btw...FANTASTIC movie. Definitely one of my favorite animated movies ever. Story, characters, humor, and pop culture references were ALL on-point) and the Toronto Maple Leafs won 6-0 over the Philadelphia Flyers.

Holy crap today was amazing. I SOOOOO needed this pick-me-up.

So while we're waiting for two weeks to pass, manage to find some more Spirit artwork. Something for Xenoblade 2 fans and Morag fans.

Yggdrosil (Male Roserade): Petal Dance, Sludge Bomb, Stun Spore, Shadow Ball
Gaia (Female Golem): Earthquake, Stone Edge, Brick Break, Stealth Rock
Huxian (Female Floatzel): Surf, Waterfall, Crunch, Ice Beam (instead of Ice Fang because its nature hinders Physical Attack)

I saw Wreck-It-Ralph 2 today, and I can say that it wasn't that great of a movie. I went to see Wreck-It-Ralph on the internet, and I got a movie about the dangers of codependence and toxic relationships that just so happened to star the characters of Wreck-It-Ralph that just so happened to take place on the internet. It had some great scenes, but overall wasted its potential.

• For Infernape consider Grass Knot, and definitely have Mach Punch or Vacuum Wave. You'll definitely want priority moves.
• Quick Attack on Staraptor over U-Turn might help as well.
• Have another grass type move on Roserade as Petal Dance locks you in, which can lead to some tough situations.
• Brick Break and/or Stealth Rock on Golem won't be as helpful as you might think. I don't know what to replace them with though.
• If your Floatzel has a nature that hinders physical attack then why do you have Waterfall? Especially when you have Surf as well? Consider something with utility like Aqua Jet, or maybe even Focus Blast.
• Dusknoir's moveset is perfectly fine.

I already have Mach Punch on my Infernape. Otherwise thanks for the tips man! Now I'm starting...

Now if there was a version without Palutena it would be perfect.

Best of luck! Since you're level 60 you shouldn't have too much difficulty, but still be on guard.

It's completely legit. I wish they'd focused less on the message and more on the internet.

The original Wreck-It-Ralph was so great because it was a homage to video games, and by exploring what it'd be like to be a video game character it was able to impart a message on being yourself and breaking free from labels.

Wreck-It-Ralph 2 seems more focused on its message compared to anything else, and loses sight of what made the first one so great. Most of the internet stuff seemed relegated to passing scenes and side characters.

Spoiler

That last post-credits scene was amazing though. The Frozen 2 bait-and-switch was genius, and Fix-It-Felix as the barman was such a great touch.

You seem to have pretty good type coverage overall. Your biggest weakness seems to be Ice (Staraptor, Roserade, & Golem). Which is going to be a problem from Cynthia's Milotic since it doesn't share the weaknesses that Ice has but does carry Ice Beam. Water is also a fairly potent type because even though Roserade would cover Milotic, it is weak to it's Ice Beam.

I could have sworn Andy would have possessed given how similar the two are in personality but Dr. Mario makes sense. Also lol given how some wanted him to take his moveset before he returned lol.

Too bad I won't even be able to hear his theme when i'm doing the spirit battle. Bleh!

Do the leakers even know which design it is? I mean it might not mean much to some but I hope Andy uses his AW2 design for his spirit.

Just beat Aaron, he was a pushover as expected.

[/SPOILER]

Well this is awkward.
The reason why I like the second one is because the message drove the story. The internet references were fantastic, but the story is the heart of the film. Internet references were utilized, but if the movie had primary focus on that instead of the message, well...that's not something that I would be as likely enjoy because it would focus more on pop-culture references itself, rather than the deeper and more important story it's trying to tell. I see the pop culture and internet references as the icing, while I see the story and message as the heart of it: the cake.

But that's fine. You do you.

People are selling copies of Smash on Craigslist.

There was a leaker stream so I can tell you the artwork used was this one

Ayy that's the one! Def his best artwork compared to AW1 and Dual Strike.

I also feel pretty bad knowing this will be Andy's first appearance in any kind of media since he was a sticker in Brawl. Like he went a decade without appearing in anything only to fulfill a similar role he had a decade prior. That's both sad and funny lol.

Like I said, the fact that Sakurai gave his Nightmare Fuel child even more Nightmare Fuel that makes Marx Soul look kid friendly. I mean, Marx Soul basically looked like a devilish version of Marx, but nothing to really speak home about other than the Scream of Death.
Sakurai, however, managed to give Regular Marx new attacks that just make him even more damn Nightmare inducing, like inky black eyeballs that cry out black ink tears that home in on you, frickin' fiery nerve stems from where his arms were, and expanding eyeballs that add even more irises that fire frickin' lasers that can corner you.
Just when you think Marx was way outdone by Dark Matter, Zero, Drawcia Soul, Magalor Soul, Sectonia Soul, Star Dream, etc in terms of the Kirby Nightmare fuel factor, all of the sudden, Smash Bros comes in and we see that Marx didn't even show off everything he could do.

Edit: Oh, and that doesn't include the unnatural twitching he does constantly now.

Design-wise, yeah. He's charming and not so scary. Compared to other designs like Drawcia Soul, Magalor Soul and Zero, his design itself isn't really grotesque. But can you really ignore what he does as "not scary"? I mean, a character can be frightening for what they can do rather than what they look like. I mean, I think I'd be pretty freaked out if I saw a little guy sprout out their entire nerve system to attack with.

Like I'm no biology scientist, but I'm pretty sure someone of his size, especially one with no real arms, should not have that big of a Nervous System. Nevermind the fact that it's apparently scorching hot to people who touch it.

There's no doubt that Divine Bloodlines is amazing. But that said, Cross your Heart out definitely wins over me, just for what I did not expect.
