I actually hated that aspect of Wind Waker, I hated a lot about WW, I like the timeline with the true hero, not some random kid, and WW Link is definitely not bad*** at all, he was subject to way too much comic relief and has the design of a powerpuff girl

Oh, okay.

I completely disagree.

 

[UltiMario]

Hey guys watch out I found a super secret PMBR leak.

I believe it speaks for itself.

[JCaesar]

Hey I just watched the latest update for the Melee documentary. The producer was asking for regular smashers to interview on the east coast. I was thinking maybe Jceaz or another member of that crew could do an interview and talk about the project and how you guys are trying to make another great game. Here is the link to the update video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3WUznrVL0o

That is pretty interesting. I don't interview well (if you remember that podcast from awhile back...) but maybe he could interview my whole crew or something. I'll look into it.

I would just like to take a moment to thank all the PM streamers. Most notably Jcaez and his crew, for thoroughly entertaining me for a couple of years now. (and PEEF for the awesome new ease of access)

I've been watching videos from last weekends stream for days now. Great variety of characters, and some really nice skillful matches from all around. (except **** ryokos peach)

Thanks guys, you make this wait bearable.

Thanks for hanging in there. We know it's taking a lot longer than everyone would like, but the final product will be worth it

peach shouldn't be able to fight since she's always needing to get saved

You never played SMB 2 or SMRPG did you?

 

[phurgawtin]

You never played SMB 2 or SMRPG did you?

actually, SMB2 was my favorite of the trilogy, but since the characters inherited their abilities from Doki Doki Panic, i figured it to be noncanon on how Princess Toadstool kicked so much ***.

but then again, with Peach floating in ssbm, i suppose her kicking *** would make sense if it were the same SMB 2 character, as noted by levitating abilities, instead of the wench that gets holed up in castles and plowed by King Koopa.

As far as SMRPG is concerned, Geno rocks.

 

[JCaesar]

It may have been based on Doki Doki Panic but SMB2 is definitely canon. It defined a lot of things for future Mario games (like Peach's float and Luigi's high jump) and introduced a lot of characters (Birdo, Shy Guy, Bob-omb, etc).

/silly argument

 

[Shadic]

As far as SMRPG is concerned, Geno rocks.

Yeah boy. Geno for Project M.

I have to say that float is right about one thing: generation 3 was far and away the best expansion (both mechanically and aesthetically).

Gen1 and 5 are Both terrible, but i say Generation V beats Gen I because;
*it actually had a spread of types
*normal pairs with things other than flying
*flying as a standalone
*gen1 clearly had no inclination to balance moves across types.
*gen1 grandfathered the rest of the games to have nonsensical and unbalanced weak&res
*gen1 had the absolute worst pokemon name in history. NOTHING is worse than Mr Mime.
*or... you know naming a pokemon with an actual word: Electrode. That's not even a BAD pun.
*if the designers had any idea that they'd implement breeding, kangaskan was clearly trolling us all.
*the original design for poison implies the playtesters were infants with no concept of time.
*mega kick isn't a fighting move? Are kicks instead used for courtship in Japan?
*if EVs and IVs aren't the most tedium inducing things in the world...**** that system. To death. I will never forgive gen1 for that (but to be fair, gen2 had a chance to make it right but didn't. At least each subsequent generation apologized for it and gave us things like the macho brace.)

Seriously. Gen 1 is the redheaded stepchild of pokemon.
Any metagame imbalances that resulted from gen 5 are things I wouldn't know about. I never kept track of professional pokemon play after gen 4, so I can only talk about the pokemon themselves, not the implications.
If anything has anything to do with the triple-stat boosting moves, let me know because I am curious.

Gen2 gave us two types. Sure, they didn't actually DO anything yet, but the expansion from johto to kanto made this game a true sequel. Also, it gave us breeding.
But
Thanks to this game, I'm worried about ever swimming in the ocean. I can replicate the tentacool cry note for note thanks to the watery hell that was in this game.

Gen3 is god. I will never, Ever get tired of gen 3. I would **** it's **** so many times I'd have a **** shaped indentation in my now perfectly polished teeth.

Gen4 gave us attack and special attack for certain "type crosssovers" to be possible (hitmonchan cough). Unfortunately, this accelerated the homogenization of pokemon further; there is rapidly becoming nothing left to differentiate attack and special attack. Volt switch is a great example of the repercussions.
The world design is absolutely phenomenal though. And if U-turn is in fact in gen4, gen4 has my favorite move of all time.

Holy **** i just raged.

 

[Kink-Link5]

GSC introduced breeding and egg moves, held items, special defense and special attack split, as well as two new types.

RSE introduced a new EV system, natures, and abilities

DPP introduced Special/Physical movesplit and didn't give Flareon the new FLARE Blitz move to abuse the split

BW[G] introduced NOTHING and still hasn't ****ing given Flareon ****ing flare blitz.

Dream World abilities or whatever the **** could have just as well been added as regular abilities for the Pokemon to get.

 

[leelue]

O right. **** dream world
313

 

[GP&B]

GSC was my favorite, not for the Pokemon it introduced, but just how extensive it was. And the music kicked *** too.

 

[Supreme Dirt]

I love how SMB2 introduced two things to Luigi and Peach - Luigi's "slidiness" and Peach's float and turnips - that carried over to Smash.

 

[Wavebuster]

Luigi's slidiness would actually be introduced in this game:

 

[Supreme Dirt]

Really? I've never actually played that, I really should.

 

[UltiMario]

BW[G] introduced NOTHING and still hasn't ****ing given Flareon ****ing flare blitz.

Dream World abilities or whatever the **** could have just as well been added as regular abilities for the Pokemon to get.

DW made it so they could give **** crazy-*** abilities that made no sense because they're thought up in dreams. They actually gave Pokemon opportunities to buff them and make previously *** Pokemon good. It's not huge at face value, but in the grand scheme of things its tremendous.

Case in point, it gave Politoed Drizzle and Ninetales Drought. From a competitive standpoint, that's the largest metagame shift that has ever happened in Pokemon. Each game has its own unique metagame to it thats all different, but there's always been standard Offense, Balanced, and (Gen II onwards) Stall. Gen V comes around and flips that on its head, making Pokemon from a battling standpoint a completely different game than it ever was before. Those two inclusions single-handedly make Gen V a very different game than it is. Hell, those two abilities alone make or break the justification to even use Dreamworld to begin with.

Oh, another Gen V change is one that people tend to not notice because you actually have to pay attention to notice it, but its important. Gen V completely overhauled the status system, changing nearly every major and minor status than can be inflicted by some degree in how they function. That's pretty big too.

Gen V brought ****. You just gotta actually take a look.

 

[Kink-Link5]

Doki Doki Panic did introduce Mario's backflip though.


You're right, Gen V did bring ****. And nothing but.

That's just off the top of my head without really thinking much.

This is legit the only pokemon generation bad enough for me to not consider buying it at any point. Any amount of money spent would just be that amount of money wasted on a headache. I'd honestly rather buy a second copy of Brawl for $30 than Black or White for 5.

 

[GHNeko]

lool that girl

why does her super do so much damage lmao

****ing low tiers and their huge damage specials from half a screen away

 

[Deleted member]

Gen V brought ****. You just gotta actually take a look.

gen 5 brought lots of ****. the only problem is, i don't want to play with any of it. and the power creep is such that you can't play without it.

 

[Supreme Dirt]

Gen 5 among friends though... that **** can be hilarious.

Zoroark's illusion wore off!
Zoroark was actually a Zoroark!

 

[slimpyman]

kinklink posts too much. mario and luigi should make the plop sounds when they footstool someone...

btw with mushroomtopping someone, i mean footstooling, if you spam footstool button will it be as effective as if you just timed the footstool? has it ever been discussed to make footstooling more like if youre holding the footstool button, it will footstool at the earliest available possible frame?

 

[Thunderhorse+]

Zoroark's illusion wore off!
Zoroark was actually a Zoroark!

I have no idea why this is much funnier than it should have been, but it is.

I tried to like competitive Gen V. I really did. But I got sick of weather wars quicker than I got sick of perma-sandstorm and LOLrock in previous gens.

I did like it's 1P much more than Gen 3 and 4 though...

[kaizo13]

everybody is nerding the **** out

chillax

 

[[TSON]]

wait but did someone itt just say they didn't like wargle
what the ****

 

[UltiMario]

I honestly forgot Triple Battles Existed. I hardly play them (or doubles, for that matter).

Trips pretty cool when the opportunity arises, tho.

 

[Beorn4200]

Is there anyone in Nashville TN with PM...? If not, has anyone sent an application from nashville, or around nashville?

 

[Kink-Link5]

The closest PMBR member is probably in VA, unfortunately.

 

[Mattnumbers]

Gen V single player was fun, which is all I personally care about since competitive pokemon has always been pretty broken.
Gen III is my favorite though, even though I mainly grew up with Gen I and II.
Also Smugleaf is amazing **** you kinklink.

 

[MonkUnit]

Beorn4200, there aren't any Nashville PMBR, but you can check the PMBR Map to see where most of the PMBR is located.

 

[Kink-Link5]

The final evolution of it is, which is why I didn't list it in the list of things I hate. I can make a list of things I like and list of things that are okay, but it would be a lot smaller.

I personally loved GS/HGSS story the most of the games. Same for 1P game. I have well over 600 hours invested in SS at the moment.

Ivysaur dair is still stupid. Like Gen V.

 

[GHNeko]

The closest PMBR member is probably in VA, unfortunately.

He's like 11 hours away from me lmao

 

[Beorn4200]

He's like 11 hours away from me lmao

Fuuuuuck... Damn, I'm gonna have to try and convince smashers around nashville to convert or something... I'm so sick of people with the melee is the only smash mindset. Thanks guys.

 

[curry9186]

But....But Melee is the only Smash. Who are these crazy people that think otherwise?

 

[`dazrin]

Melee IS the only smash.

-Kinda why these fine gentlemen are transforming brawl into melee

Haha, but yeah, we know what you mean, Beorn4200. Alternatively, you could just wait a couple months or so and download the project:m demo2

 

[GHNeko]

Fuuuuuck... Damn, I'm gonna have to try and convince smashers around nashville to convert or something... I'm so sick of people with the melee is the only smash mindset. Thanks guys.

or you can just come down to beast coast

i house people lol

 

[Mr.Pickle]

Fuuuuuck... Damn, I'm gonna have to try and convince smashers around nashville to convert or something... I'm so sick of people with the melee is the only smash mindset. Thanks guys.

I've got an open mind to things not melee, but if its vbrawl don't count on me playing it for very long, that game gives me a headache.

 

[Kink-Link5]

It gives you less of a headache if you just decide to get over "pride" and gay it up with Metaknight.

 

[Beorn4200]

I've got an open mind to things not melee, but if its vbrawl don't count on me playing it for very long, that game gives me a headache.

Do you not live in Tennessee anymore Pickle? Pretty sure I met you at a smashfest in Alabama at zeros place a couple years ago... You came with KO kingpin.

 

[Mr.Pickle]

Do you not live in Tennessee anymore Pickle? Pretty sure I met you at a smashfest in Alabama at zeros place a couple years ago... You came with KO kingpin.

Indeed sir good times, and I still live in Tennessee, westmoreland to be precise. I still hang out with KO every now and again, I actually was over there last weekend.

@Kink-Link5 - dude it has nothing to do with pride, I could be be playing with any character really or just watching other people play, in the end I always get headache for some reason.

 

[Giygacoal]

Why is it that every time I check this thread someone is bashing gen v? It's pokemon. Can't anyone be nice with the subject?

 

[Kink-Link5]

I can be nice if it's about 98% of Gen 2 pokemon.

I'll let you guess which ones I don't like.
