My third play of the ORAS demo took two minutes. SAKURAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

RAPTURE.

You mean the code name of FFXIV?

 

[Sehnsucht]

I personally found the relationship between the Elric brothers pretty strong, and I liked most of the characters and their voice when I first saw and heard it. I don't see how it's atrociously written (even if it doesn't copy the manga), they did a good job.

It's commonly viewed that Brotherhood is superior to the 2003 version, since Brotherhood adheres much more closely to the source manga.

So regardless of how you find the 2003 version to be, you'll probably find Brotherhood to be superior, especially since it's more representative of the author's original vision (whereas the 2003 version diverges radically from the source material). And also, it came out later, so the quality of the anime itself will likely be stronger (art, animation, music, etc.).

I haven't seen the 2003 version (I think I did see a few eps, and watched the post-series movie way back). Though I'm not inclined to watch it through, since I've seen the "definitive" version of the FMA saga, so the 2003 version will most likely not live up to the Brotherhood adaptation. Still, glad you liked what you saw. 8D

 

[Blargg888]

Anyone up for some games? Still got a lobby up.

(ಠ ͜ʖ ಠ)

I'll play.

 

[BluePikmin11]

So what if it's closer to the original and has better quality (in terms of animation, music, and art)?
It was still fun to watch and a great experience.
(Also I hate Al's new voice in Brotherhood, he sounds more like a sister than an actual brother).

@ Kaye Cruiser SICED CUCCOOS ON ME
KAYE YOU DIRTY S.O.B
S'alright, I was wondering why they were on

 

[FlareHabanero]

Besides, there are MUCH more traumatizing things out there. I would know, I fap to said things. ¦D

So basically seeing something like explicit gruesome tentacle **** with two guys is just another day in the office.

With all of the Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Pikachu, Ness, and Toon Link pictures about them as murders, I wouldn't be surprised if this became a thing.

Don't let @Rocket Raccoon hear this.

Welp. That was embarassing. XD

Better try that again. ¦D; *keeps trying to do Project M stuff*

Good Ness, though. <3

Someone apparently looked into the ORAS demo files, there's one more Mega apparently hiding in the game code, can you guess who it is?

Also, the stats of the Megas:

MegaSalamence is confirmed to be broken (120 speed? Goodbye metagame). Beedrill also looks really good!

Edit: Added MegaSlowbro. That defense scares me...

Wait what. Hoopa gets a Mega Evolution? I don't even.
Mega Altaria's base stats mean it is going to be a solid wall with Pixilate STAB Hyper Voice (and of course, it goes through Substitutes!). This Mega Evolution is interesting. Pidgeot and Beedrill must be glad they are going to leave NU, lol.

So THAT'S what fighting one of the Koopalings is like. I need to figure out how to unlock them already.

I also need to hurry up and stop sucking with Falcon. XD

I'm not the best as them but I'm passable.

Hello Dark Ness, my old friend. I've come to talk with you again.

1. Classic Mode.
2. 7.0 or Higher.
3. Mad Dog Bowser.
4. DROPKICKS
5. ???
   
6. PROFIT

Okay, yeah. Not using Fox anymore. Guh. What happened to you? XD;

Yeesh, the hell happened in that last match? Custom equipment ain't as great as I'd like it to be. My poor defense. XD

GGs man. Let's play again sometime.

No joking! I wasn't even trying to do that and then the next thing I know I just see you tumbling down helplessly. I was so done. XD

Also, this:

What? When? How? HOW DID THE DATA GET DUMPED?!

 

[Sehnsucht]

So what if it's closer to the original and has better quality (in terms of animation, music, and art)?
It was still fun to watch and a great experience.
(Also I hate Al's new voice in Brotherhood, he sounds more like a sister than an actual brother).

What do you mean, "so what"? Nothing, that's what.

Not saying that Brotherhood definitely is superior, or that you are guaranteed to find it superior. I'm only saying the probability is higher that you might find it superior. No promises are being made.

Art, animation, and music contribute to the visceral experience of watching anime, so it was relevant to note, at least in passing, that Brotherhood has overall higher production values. High production values don't necessarily improve an experience. but they can.

And Brotherhood following the manga is relevant in that it represents a full story, with themes and arcs and so forth that better represent the ethos of FMA. An author has certain messages, ideas, and themes to convey, which are only present in their original vision of a work. Not that FMA 2003 lacked thematic depth, tight plotting, and emotional resonance***, but it remains that Brotherhood is more in-tune to the author's vision.

You might then say "What does the author's vision matter? It didn't at all impact my enjoyment of FMA 2003". It's simply that the characters and world of FMA are the creation of the mangaka's mind. Both FMA 2003 and Brotherhood share this, but Brotherhood also has the story as conceived by the mangaka's mind. An author's vision can turn out to be mediocre, but in the case of Brotherhood, the author's vision of the FMA saga was most excellent. So, bringing up this talk of "canon authenticity" is just to say that as a result of this property, you may end up finding Brotherhood superior to FMA 2003.

You can enjoy one over the other without fault or blame. But you should at least watch Brotherhood all the way through, if only to see where 2003 might have gone had it not diverged from manga canon. Even if you do end up preferring FMA 2003 anyway, I don't think you'll be able to deny that Brotherhood stands tall in its own right.

***Again, haven't seen 2003, so I don't know if these things are actually true. And also, I don't remember what Al's voice in 2003 might have been like, so I can't comment on that.

I don't think I'll turn on customizations again though. Things can get a bit too cheesy and I barely bothered with them.
Though not as cheesy as having the King of Darkness being dragged down into a by a flock of chickens.

 

[Substitution]

Just curious, how many custom specials are there?

 

[Bedoop]

As of this day, Every Character in Smash 4 has appeared on the Official Website atleast ONCE.
Except for .
That sly dog.
Seriously, and got revealed early on the Amiibo page of the Website, 's All-Star Trophy was on the "Where's Stalfos?" PotD, and everyone else has an official page.
is the only Character left.
Let's see if Sakurai can manage to keep them secret and not slip up.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

I think the customizations are fine as long as we don't use the equipments and stick to the moves. I was having a hard time controlling Zamus cause she kept jumping too damn high. ¦D

But yeah, I should've saved that as a Replay in hindsight. Dammit. XD

 

[wizardto1]

I love this for some reason.

 

[Blargg888]

Just curious, how many custom specials are there?

51 x 8 = # of moves in Smash bros 3ds.
51 x 8 - 236 = # of unlockable moves in Smash 3ds.

the roster is 49, but you already have the mii and palutena one from the start.

Each characters has 8 specials.

49 - 2 = 47

47 * 8 = 376

Just to be sure, good luck, you'll need it...

So then I don't have that much to go. I believe I'm around 320 custom moves.

That doesn't even make sense.

Bah, I'll be fine. As long as I have my Chicken Hat-wearing Miis, I'm in good hands.
