Air ride racing worked like this

You start a race, realize the race mode is terrible, and then mess around in city trial for hours.

Ah, the memories of playing City Trial's Free Run with a friend of mine.
We'd spend hours just roleplaying and doing random ****.

It's a shame Dedede and Meta Knight are frigging useless in the City.

I'm not gonna bother posting the obvious stuff like hardware limitations on the NES.

That actually is not why he is small because there is things like that:

Argument about hardware limitations is invalid. Compare this sprite to Ridley`s sprite from NES Metroid. Or to Samus` sprite because they have nearly same size:

So, it was possible to make a big Ridley. But they didn`t. I don`t remember why. That Godzilla sprite is a single sprite in case you don`t know, not few sprites assembled to make it look bigger and more detailed. And it has a long (not too long) tail.

There is no real evidence against Ridley. By "real" i mean something that deconfirms him like Chrom, Takamaru, Waluigi, Dark Samus, Skull Kid, etc. But that is for a different thread and after 4 month of that madness, i realized that it is pointless to try to tell something to those who consider that "deconfirmation" straight or those who believes Ridley won`t be playable. So, i will leave now unless that NES hardware limitation =x= why Ridley is small in NES Metroid proof will somehow be considered fake or bulls**t.

Maybe somehow smash run will be able to capture this aspect of city trial as well xD

Can we talk about the deliciousness that is the McDonalds Southern Style Chicken Sandwich aka the #14

No Adventures. Kirby Only. Messin' Around. Smash Run.

I can't really talk OU meta anymore; I haven't really played since Mega Kanga was banned. Back then Aegislash didn't really stand out, and Mandibuzz's potential was just being discovered. I ran a team centered around a lategame sweeper DD Mega Char X. It's been erased, so I don't remember it :/

I've had a hard time getting into the meta since 4'th gen. 5'th gen meta was terrible imo. 6'th is definitely a step back in the right direction, but it's just been a long time for me.

I feel you. 4th Gen OU was probably the most balanced OU in existence. 5th Gen was extremely offensive, and 6th Gen is following the same steps of 5th Gen.
Mega Kangaskhan is too good that the regular form went back to NU. 200 HP Seismic Tosses, that's too good. Blissey for NU please!
Almost every Pokémon that got a Mega Evolution and is OU this gen will keep on being OU for a long time. Take Pinsir, for example, it was too good when XY OU started, but now everyone knows how to check it and stuff.
I tried using Pokémon Online instead of Pokémon Showdown! as a battle simulator. Turns out I prefer PO more for some reason.

Not while they use bread with rubber in it.

Thank goodness Subway stopped doing that.

What fun would there be in just running around a barren maze without enemies to fight?

I had a really beast team in 4'th gen, too, that would always consistently climb the ladder. Never been able to put something that good together again since. I hope the meta improves, but I'm not sure how long it'll be before I come back to it.

Never heard of it. Perhaps I will try it next time I want some fast-food.

Ok, there's one thing that bothers me: why some people are saying that the HW direct decrease the chances of getting a general direct?

Because I seem to see pessimism about seeing a generic direct and I don't think it's founded.

 

[Deleted member]

@ Phaazoid Like in Air Ride, Kirby would just do random stuff without the need of a vehicle. xD

I suppose there is that arbitrary "one main direct" a month (or was it every two months?) rule. I honestly doubt another August Direct myself, I have a feeling we will get our Smash fix through a Ganondorf/newcomer trailer. Maybe.

I remember I used an OU team that had Jolteon and Breloom on the same team. It was decent at best. Even if I lost with it, I still tried until I won. Breloom was my "lead" of some sorts.
Then I made a team with Mixed Infernape and Choice Band Tyranitar.
Who knows though, maybe I could be one of the good Pikachu players in SSB4 and still play competitive Pokémon.
Also, funny how Smogon members use PO too. That's...uh, cool I guess.

It's every 2 months.

The thing is, I REALLY doubt they would postpone a general direct because of one not general on the third day of the month.

Feels like coincidence that the HW direct was in August honestly.

I actually used showdown, just forgot the name, lol.

I ran a lead yanmega with speed boost, it was nearly the perfect lead in 4'th gen. With only a little prediction, you could beat out almost any other leads. My defensive core was Weezing/Blissey, which once again was insane and nigh unstoppable. Then I had a bulky dragon dancer, sometimes gyaradose, sometimes dragonite. Had a scarfed trick starmie for defensive stallers; and as a revenge killer. The last pokemon was a porygon 2. It countered so many things, lol. Trace ruined mono attacking heatran, which was very popular in 4'th gen, as well as jolteon, vaporeon, and several others. Plus it was a surprisingly defensive pokemon.

I miss those days ;(

 

[Zwzchow]

I am honestly suspecting a Legend of Zelda newcomer to coincide with the Direct... but that would be too obvious.

Everyone will overhype it just like what they did with comic con and the end of invitational

 

[Deleted member]

That could easily be a description of city trial mode xD

At least in City Trial, you could do random **** with the different vehicles and make up games, stories, whatever with at least one friend.
Not sure how just traversing the Smash Run map could be turned into something fun with friends.

 

[The Light Music Club]

So when do you guys think an August direct would happen? I hope it's before the 22nd.

No, I agree, I don't think there's enough in smash run to get that same feel. But I'm excited to see what it will feel like, it seems so different than anything else right now. I got to try it once, but it wasn't enough, I need more xD

So when do you guys think an August direct would happen? I hope it's before the 22nd.

20'th is the anniversary of the Pyrosphere reveal/Ridley teasing

Just throwing that out there

Oh, darn. I remember when Yanmega was BL along with Honchkrow. 2good
The best lead in 4th Gen was Azelf, I think. It was too fast back then that it could set up Stealth Rock and attack right after to the point that it uses Explosion (which was a great move in Gen 4).
You used Weezing and Blissey as your defensive core? That must be creative, since most defensive cores involving Blissey have Skarmory to cover the physical attacks that target Blissey. Gyarados was okay back then, it used to have like 5 sets or so. Dragonite became the best Dragon-type ever since Salamence and Garchomp got banned to the Uber tier.
And as for the Eeveelutions, all of them were good. Jolteon was on its prime back then. It was so fast that you didn't really need a Pokémon with a Choice Scarf.

You know what, I miss Gen 4 too. It felt balanced, small things were overpowered, and it was great overall.
Now in 6th Gen, it's not the same anymore. Popular OU Pokémon like Celebi, Starmie and Jirachi aren't OU anymore because of Aegislash's presence. Starmie in particular was "too weak", and this was noticeable with Greninja being better as an offensive Pokémon.
As a Rapid Spinner, Excadrill is not Uber anymore, which means that it's the superior Pokémon.

 

[aldelaro5]

They are in the 2 middle week of of the month usually.

Hoping for the 11th one because...PM64 anniversary is on the Monday of the same week.

Hey, the stage was revealed a week after a date so I should hope for near 11

Oh man, Weezing/Blissey was amazing. Weezing resists fighting, has 120 base defense, a ground immunity, and willowisp.
Such a good partner to blissey. Not to mention haze, flamethrower, pain split, you name it. The only things that they couldn't stall were handled by porygon 2, it was amazing.

Dragonite with Sub/Dclaw/roost/DDance was op as ****. Bulky Gyar with Ddance/waterfall/EQorBounce/taunt was also really good. swapped them around depending on the meta.

Yanmega with a life orb could one shot azelf with bug buzz : ). If it had a focus sash, I'd be faster by the next turn if I wasn't already xD I ran Bugbuzz/Air slash(flinch hax wins games)/HPground (ohko heatran)/protect(speed hax)

It was a damn good team. I miss it dearly. At least they put genesect back in ubers >.> The power creep has just gotten too strong. They need to go back and buff old pokemon imo.

What's your favorite gaming handheld and console? Mine is a tie between the DSi XL and 3DS. For consoles, it'd have to be the N64 and the consoles that got released after it. And I mean those made by Nintendo.

 

[Morbi]

What's your favorite gaming handheld and console?

I suppose my favorite handheld would have to be my Gameboy Advance SP; so much nostalgia (but the 3DS is actually my favorite). My favorite console would have to be my Nintendo 64, of course. All other answers are wrong.

 

[aldelaro5]

What's your favorite gaming handheld and console?

Home console is Gamecube by far and that isn't just because of TTYD, but several games.

Handheld is hard to tell, but I'm tempted to say 3DS.

Hmmm...It's a toss up between the SNES and the Gamecube for me. The SNES has classics such as FFVI, Super Metroid, Super Mario World, and EarthBound, while the Gamecube has SSBM, Tales of Symphonia, FE: PoR, RE4, and Paper Mario: TTYD.

Oh, and favorite handheld? Easily the DS.

 

[Croph]

I pick EAD. Me and my bro called him "Potato Man" when we were little.

My preferred F-Zero newcomer (that ain't gonna happen):

Just because he's my main racer. And I love dat Hyper Speeder. THAT ****ING HYPER SPEEDER WHAT AN AWESOME AND SEXY MACHINE. LIKE, DAMN. but Mr. EAD is awesome too. and his pilot theme rofl

Something I wrote about Beastman some time ago:

I always love to race as him in GX, and I especially love his machine, Hyper Speeder. I could imagine him having an aggressive playstyle, and perhaps using [futuristic] hunting tools/contraptions as projectiles and to set up traps. Did you see his secret video in GX? Dude's jumping around like he thinks he's a ninja! *sigh* I'm hoping he'll at least appear s a sticker.

I'd imagine Beastman would have some special interactions with fighters that look like "dangerous" beasts, like Bowser or even Charizard. Being obsessed with hunting and protecting those from beasts, he'd probably try to skin Bowser if the Koopa King tries to, well, do something dirty. Like to turn on everyone and take over the Smash World? Idk what really goes on in the Smash universe, but I've read enough fanfics to know that a bunch of yaoi, yuri, and drunken nights happen.

Am I the only one that loves all the unique and interesting racers in F-Zero? Like, I know they don't have super amazing backstories and character development (it's understandable), but I find it fun reading about them, and some are really quirky and likeable. I wish there was a game that expanded on some of the characters' story.

Maybe some people don't like the idea of a racing game with a bunch of characters and a story, but I think it's a cool idea. I do think it would be awesome for an F-Zero spin-off game. Like, an action/adventure game? With Falcon having some epic attacks (using physical and pistol moves, and his bounty hunting skillz) with beat-em-up and racing segments of course (and classic races in another mode). They could also expand on the world and all the planets and culture and stuff. Too bad it will never happen... T_T

My favorite handheld is 3DS, while my favorite console is Gamecube. But really, I like all the systems.

I don't hate BW and XY, their metagames are great, but the balance that Gen 4 provided will be missed. Oh well, players still play Gen 4 on PO, so I can go there and battle.
It is amazing. It's like they're expecting Skarmory to be sent out. However, if someone predicts well, Weezing could be damaged a lot. Psyshock didn't exist back then, nor did Eviolite, so Blissey took special hits as if they were nothing.
Also, did I ever say that Life Orb Flygon was another amazing thing? When the opponent thinks of Flygon, they think it's holding a Choice Scarf, but when they get hit by a STAB Draco Meteor which is further boosted by the Life Orb, it's bound to hurt. Then comes Fire Blast, which takes out Steel-types that were expecting a Draco Meteor.
SubRoost Dragonite with Dragon Dance? Heh, the bulk of a Pokémon was great back in Gen 4. 91/95/100 Defensive stats was considered bulky.

I haven't really used Genesect, but from what I have heard, its U-turn was too good, Download was another reason for its ban.
Jirachi was the "god" of Flinch hax. It made opponents quit matches and stuff. This doesn't happen in XY now that there are a lot of ways to stop Jirachi (Body Slam's paralisis doesn't affect Electric-types, Steel-types got nerfed with Ghost doing neutral damage, etc.)

Anyways, there's this user on vStream (at least, this is what I heard) and the user wants everyone to talk like a Pokémon. The user says things like this every single time:
"pachi pachi"
"pachi (what do you think of me pre-ordering super smash bros 3ds)"

Check it out, my main mod.

On that note, Social Thread Crack Fic status update:

I'm just over 1000 words into Act II. I'm about to write a legendary introduction. You won't be disappointed.

Globally, the story continues not to reflect well on anybody.

I'm about 1/3 or so through Act II. Should be posted by weekend's end at the earliest.

Carry on my wayward son.

I don't play competitive Pokemon anymore. Hell, I barely play Pokemon anymore. Which is very ironic considering it was once my most favorite game series. I don't even know if I can call it my favorite series anymore.

My favorite handheld is the 3ds. Favorite Console? Couldn't say, they all have games I like and come back to. <3

 

[Deleted member]

Favorite handheld is probably the 3DS. And I'm just going to say my favorite console is pretty much anything made by Sony or Nintendo.
