Until a couple of months ago I thought Kingdra was another evolution of Horsea. :laugh: And I play Pokémon since its Western release.

Sort of Opossum'd.

Never heard that one. I did beat that challenge with Jigglypuff though. And twice with Fox. I can't do it with any other characters though.

Anything noteworthy to talk about? I was thinking about taking a break from Smash 4, but I'm afraid I'll suck more than I already do when I come back. :p

Indeed, they're very different games, and as you've said, their philosophies differ. But their separate philosophies and execution can be compared in terms of their effort and whether they're (subjectively) enjoyable, no? What I mean is, Paper Mario takes a different approach than Golden Sun in some aspects, but I'm interested to see whether someone who has a fondness for the Paper Mario approach would appreciate the other ones. Paper Mario for example, excels in humor in comparison to Golden Sun, but (for argument's sake) the gameplay of Golden Sun is better and makes up for it, see? I've compared the two.

But the only reason this isn't incomparable is mostly because they follow the same template of being an RPG. So there's towns, NPC's, overworlds(sort of in Paper Mario), separate battles, movement within the world, and other RPG tropes which can be directly compared.

....euh, sorry, but I learned that a same genre isn't exactly meaning you can easily compare 2 games.

What you can do is to compare one game of that genre and what it contributes to that genre, what was flawed and such. Comparing 2 distinct philosophy however, that is just really hard because it won't end with something meaningful.

Like, for example, I feel so far that Golden sun battle flow are extremely fast, probably the fastest I saw out of any turn by turn system. I also feel there's a lot of depth put into the cs, might end up deeper than actual gameplay in over world. This is actually interesting in itself, but it's not matching with any that the Paper Mario series tries to do. This is why it's meant to NOT be taken as this philosophy cause it would for very obvious reason not make any sense (and be quite unfair). There;s basically no point to try because you'll end up finding differences and if there's similarities, it's probably circumstances, both philosophies are distinct, they are meant to be taken one at a time.

Meaning that I can't criticize the game for lack of gorgeous stuff, it wasn't meant to have them.

The only thing I can do at this point is check if it's an rpg, but that honestly, I see no problem so far.

The same genre only tells the canvas of the game's goal, not the goal itself. I cannot draw any conclusive thing if I was trying to compare golden sun to say fire emblem, they have very distinctive goals. And when I was talking about contributions to the genres earlier, even then it differs because the philosophy can;t focus on everything at once, it;s impossible.

What i mean is the best you can expect from me is a review of the game, not a comparison to Paper Mario, if I actually tried, it would feel very unnatural....

I beat it with Puff's side special and down special. Often times Ganon and Mewtwo would push gig Bowser of the stage.

I see Cliff is still being fooled by leaks that could be debunked by looking for two seconds on Google Images.

Like for real, this has been happening since before the game came out. It's stale, but it ain't a joke anymore. :facepalm:

But it's not even well done. None of them are. They literally use one of the first images from a search engine.

I just spammed Down-B with Jiggs and hoped it worked. With Fox I actually used more than one move.

I'll admit I have played Skyward Sword before I posted the one of Ghirahim just after Captain Falcon was confirmed, and I did know the artwork was pretty common for that too, but that was just a joke I played on @KenithTheGatherer that showed that I didn't really see Ghirahim being playable at the time. (He probably never even saw it)

Okay. What does that have to do with this one? :laugh:

Bringing up an incident from like almost a year ago doesn't affect this one at all, so...
