The only thing I don't like about him is the hair. Giving him a ponytail of all things doesn't fit his character.

Well, it's not the first time he's had a pony tail. I just think the Alpha version looks better. Though pretty much everything else about SF5 Ken's design is sick. The shirt, the foot guards, the gloves.

Either way.

It could be the gym...because I also had issues after overdoing it. But either way I hope you get that checked out soon and that everything is okay!

Another thing I've been considering is making and linking an account to this one. If I get Premium, that is.
The name? It wouldn't be "RamTwo", "aldelaro10", "xSoul", "Space Ranger", amongst other things.

I already know what it is.

And IC talk? Meh. I'll check out the link real quick.

There is one thing I've forgotten to mention.
While they don't compete in terms of design, casual and competitive features and options do compete...
... for developer resources. Time, money, disk space, lack of imagination, lack of good developers, all those sad real-world constraints which stop them from adding a few more items or trophies or game modes or other polish for the casuals, and stop them from, well, I'm at a loss for competitive examples, because our changes seem relatively easy (increased dash-dance for all characters, universally decreased landing lag, etc.)

Look, I'm going to real here.
It's a video game about Nintendo characters beating the **** out of each other. We're complaining about a game that was made by some company who wanted to try their hand at a new idea. Smash Bros as a whole could have never existed and we'd still move on. It's just a game that's there and people enjoy. It's the same with Street Fighter, or really the video game industry as a whole. They're simply means of fulfilling a purpose, whether it is to entertain, persuade, inform, or all three. It's not meant to be some pinnacle of human development, nor the greatest example of human skill. Smash is meant to be another Nintendo game, it's been like this since 64.

So no, I don't care that he'll never "understand", because I just want to play the freaking game. Because in the end, that's what truly matters: playing the God damn game.

Look, I'm being entirely real here too. More real, I'd dare say.
People will continue to disagree on these matters until they understand the truth of it, why the arguments are absolutely moot, built as they often are on the false premise of mutually exclusive game design, and as is also often the case, irrational emotion and passion.
There's nothing you nor I can do to honestly stop them from arguing besides spreading the truth.
All other methods are backhanded or self-serving.

You're right, they're only games, however, you seem to think I want them to become something other than they are.
No. I only want them to become better at entertaining, persuading, informing, and so on, and that better way is through better design.

The way I see it, you've got about three options.
1. Continue being annoyed by something you can never stop in an honest manner.
2. Stop caring about people arguing about petty things, thus stopping the annoyance.
3. Attempt to spread the truth to stop the arguing.
2 is just as good as 3. You're not morally obligated to spread this truth; as we said earlier, games are just games, meant to entertain and be played, there's no serious gravity about how they should be executed.

As for my choice, hopefully one day we can convert Sakurai, or have the games industry firmly in the grasp of true and magnanimous game design to the point where the next director of Smash Bros. is likely to be on the side of truth.

one day you'll have an army of Ram's, and we'll need to make a thread just for them.
the leader would of course be RamOne, but the numbers would rise to RamNinetyNine.

Dawn of the Second Day:

Stranger of Holy Space and Space Strangebot Prototype split up to search for resources.

Secretary Stranger makes a slingshot.

Plumber Space Stranger and Space Stranger work together for the day.

Envy camouflauges herself in the bushes.

Street Rat Space Stranger tends to Probably Space Stranger's wounds.

Monkey Space Stranger, Space St. Ranger, Space Strangebot 1.0, and Clingy Girlfriend Stranger hunt for other tributes.

Not-Enough-Space Stranger overhears Space Strangest and Espacio Stranger talking in the distance.

Spazio Stranger begs for Space Stranger's Clone to kill him. He reluctantly obliges, killing Spazio Stranger.

So what I gather from this is Space Stranger's Clone is a *******. Seriously.

And Envy is hiding. Maybe she did set a trap.

That might be an idea. Or go with one of the other sins. Greed or Lust, maybe? Or...nah.
