Well...here is another wall...time to look at what else was posted...
You do have a point, though... Ness still doesn't learn PK Fire or Thunder. I'm not completly opposed to it, but I don't fully agree either.
Where were you again when I pointed out that Ness shows proof of him using a bunch of PK attacks that aren’t shown by him in battle again?
He shows proof of being able to use PSI shield for one (Ness’ Nightmare), and proof of fire, freeze, and thunder is through a foe that is a representation of him as well in his “world” that he made
Besides, why again isn't Rockin and Love enough? Damage of those attacks is neutral, so never to a disadvantage. Can't think why he even needs the moves. =/
It’s more or less a principle thing IMO…It’s sort of the same reasoning behind Mario using the older power-ups from SMB3 with his newer power-ups even though he hasn’t used those ones forever…
Or how I pointed out earlier in regards to Peach’s parasol being her special skill for SPM with the simple fact that almost everyone has been seen using Luigi’s super jump skill…but they don’t use it in that game…
The logical point for it is me however just asking…What proof do you have of Diddy Kong using Going Bananas from DK: King of Swing and his music instrument from DK64 at the same time?
It’s more or less only on good faith that he can use them together…all the logical evidence proves that he could be using them you know ^_^
There is just no hard evidence ^_^
Sort of like with Ness…
See what I mean?
Yeah well, that's what happens in the game yeah... Though, there isn't enough effidence that they are godly like you said.
Based off the game’s script that I’ve posted like 50 times stating that the power is a god power and talking about what the power has had proof of doing…and all that other stuff…I’m getting tired of how you keep saying that there isn’t enough evidence for it…so do tell me sense you seem to think that…how is there…not enough evidence? What is your side for it…
Sure, Lucas being able to pull the Needles means that he's the chosen one or something in Mother 3 yeah. Of coarse. That's true. But that's why he's the main character...
He’s a main character who’s soul is linked to a world+ destroying/creating/changing power according to the game script…
Please come up with better than him being the main character is the only reason…I could say the same about Mario and him being “a star child” and the same with Link and him having the ToC…ect.
Where do you get the 20 hits from? The strongest Bottlerocket does more damage than Ness can do. Of coarse, Jeff is limited by items and it's not his actual power. But he still uses it, and it's stronger than Ness' attacks.
The bottle rocket’s damage is set differently for each one according to the number of “puffs” you here when firing them…
A normal one has 1 puff
A big one has 5 puffs
A multi-one has 20 puffs
Plus Starmen.net says what they are as well…
And going on…I don’t care if Jeff is the one who uses it…I’ve already pointed out that Ness is willing to pack deadly ****ing items and use them as well if he wanted to…that again is proof that it’s a “battle role”
Because I don’t see what is so different between the danger sign of a “super bomb” and a “multi-bottle rocket” both of them could cause you a great deal of ****ing pain if used wrong…
I've seen PSI Freeze Omega do over 1000 damage. Never did Rockin get that high.
I’ve seen PK Rockin do over a 1000 damage…
So…want my proof? Show me your proof 1st buddy…because the “game’s bloody coding” says that both of us are lying (but I’m not… ^_^)
http://walkthrough.starmen.net/earthbound/
BTW…what is the point of this argument…are you actually trying to prove that Ness’ teammates would have a chance against Ness if they were to fight?
Even going by the game mechs or canon they would still lose (they would lose worse by canon though)
Yeah, Ness is statistically much better than everyone I don't disagree. Poo might've been better if he wasn't limited by ****ty equipment though, and if he wasn't so underleveled.
Poo’s king gear is actually some of the best **** in that game…
Sword=100% accuracy rating + logically makes him hit harder than Jeff in the end
Cloak=huge speed boost…thus taking away the whole enemy dodge rate issue…
Bracer=sleep protection and a huge luck boost…
Crown=fire, freeze, flash paralysis protection and a luck boost…
And in Mother 3 the King’s gear is still some of the best **** ever (in fact…it is the best stuff for Lucas IMO)
Staff=2nd best weapon for Lucas, 90 offense (compared to Ness’ bat’s 100) small hp, pp, IQ, and speed boost
Cloak=fire, freeze, thunder (lol with Lucas I know) protection, and a huge PP boost
Bracer=huge PP boost
Crown=huge PP boost
They still have rolling HP, and all are faster than Ness.
How is a multi-bottle rocket going to hit Ness? He is too fast for Jeff by end game no matter what Jeff does (unless you give him the rabbit’s foot)…and with Ness having the rabbit’s foot…he ties with Poo in total speed…so I hardly consider them all faster than him…he flat out beats Jeff by end game base…and ties with Poo’s base in case you didn’t catch that part for whatever reason…his other high stats allow him to pretty much pound their heads in one at a time per round with the gutsy bat…
I was just saying. Of coarse Lucas is all around better than Duster. But Duster has some advantages, like HP. Which would make me doubt Lucas would stay alive much longer than say... Link.
They are like ****ing tied almost in HP for it to matter actually…keep in mind that Lucas is like Ness until Ness got his boost (which means that Ness was all around better than his team as well I might add). I wonder what Lucas would be like with him getting the same thing Ness had?
So the stronger the enemy, the better the attack is. Which is why overall, I think it's more useful than PK Love. Against Samus for example, PK Ground would be better than PK Love.
It’s more than just the stronger the enemy…how come you didn’t read my point about resistance to PK Ground as well? The only foe in Mother 3 where PK Ground flat out does more damage than PK Love is the fight with Claus…and logically…there should be no reason for it…he is the only boss in this game that has both A. a ton of HP, B. no res. to PK ground…
I actually think it was an error in the programming for him to have that weakpoint…
Dimenteo or whatever the mage's called might be stronger than Porky.
Well duh…for Mother 3 at least…Porky never gets his hands on the “chaos heart” that he was going for…
And Porky by himself is a normal human…remember?
Still…for a normal human…his list of accomplishments including being the right hand man of a large cult, being the right hand man of a city, controlling someone who had the power to destroy the universe, then finally becoming king of the world…before being overthrown…all while doing it in the shadows…as in only showing himself if he felt like it…
So…as far as what Dimenteo had…he had his power for a little bit…but then lost it right away and got ****ed…Porky at least put up one hell of a fight…
There are ways around powershields and psychic based attacks, and if those "two big threats" you talk about are Samus and Bowser then yeah... their way around Lucas' attacks is invincibility through Speed Boosting, other Metroid stuff and the Star Rod.
Man…you need to pay attention to what part of the post you are talking about…the part I was talking about was me just pointing out that the dinosaur foes are no match for Ness…unlike what someone else said…
Well, in SPM it does guard against everything even against the final boss' attacks.
Tell me…what does the final boss do again, when his power has been drained?
Last I checked the only thing he does is try and shoot you with a beam and jump on you…that really isn’t much more impressive than a normal giant foe in a way…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRE3zTD8TUU&feature=related
This video shows two things…
1. Peach’s defense was worthless because after a while Dimentio would have won canon wise if it wasn’t for the pure hearts…Dimentio was only playing with them for the most part in case you can’t tell…
2. I like how the story for these games never truly changes…the fact that eventually the 7 star spirits (oh I mean pure hearts ^_^) eventually ripped Bowser’s (oh I mean Dimentio’s) barrier away after he powered it up with Luigi really says something…
Logically yes. Games aren't very logical, and Lucas still hasn't shown exact TK abilities in game.
What do you think life-up is again? And Rockin/Love is mainly telegraphed as a TK wave of energy…
Would've taken too long. If Ness where to face Giygas alone, I doubt he would be able to beat Giygas. Giygas can keep attacking without limit, and Ness needs PP to heal every now and then. Even with PP restoring items, it would take too long.
Yeah…logically looking at only the game mechs for that fight…Ness could have done it at some point…
Sea/Star pendant and a Franklin badge is all you really need…
Too bad the “game” doesn’t want you to do it that way…you need to heal his soul…not trash him…
Hell…the way you do it doesn’t make sense as well…the game breaks the 4th wall…that itself tells you that they aren’t being that serious about it…
Apperantly, the makers of EarthBound didn't agree.
Yeah they did…His soul was in pain in case you couldn’t tell…Itoi has even stated that he is a “tragic villain”
It was all just in Ness' head. Sure, he took stuff as equipment from it with him, but I think there was a comment of either Paula or Jeff that Ness was just laying there all the time while he was in his "own world".
The game stats that you absorb the land…and destroy it…and again…the game even stats that the physical body means jack in the end compared to the spirit…
But yeah, EarthBound leaves far too much up to your own imagination. Something which went a bit wrong in your case.
No offence, but the vagueness of the Mother series is expressed a lot in your arguements for Ness and Lucas.
The game clearly points out that it is god power…hell I even posted it in my last post again (near the end)
In most religions btw…land is seen as holy in some way, shape, or form…in case you don’t get that…hell in some other belief structures it even has power…how is the description in Mother 3 vague? It just requires you to think more than some of these other games in this topic do…it doesn’t flat out tell you it is a god power right away like in Paper Mario…oh no…you had to wait two games just for you to hear it from Porky…with only really BIG hints telling you what it was along the way ^_^
I can see someone didn’t read a certain part of my old posts…how is that guitar going to knock C. Falcon out anyway…it’s shown to be worthless vs. strong foes…
I already brought up the good faith thing and how I’m ok with it…but logically looking at the game Going Bananas is from…Diddy Kong is more of an extra mode…you canon wise don’t play as him in that game at all…it is DK who gets the DK metals back…not Diddy
And even then…looking at going bananas…there are too many invincibility things factoring into these matches…and I’ve hinted at this one subject of debate many times already…but another poster pointed it out better for me…where is the proof that this invincibility will work on the so called even playing field?
I personally would rather look at the clear canon facts for regards to what they do with their powers instead of just saying lol invincibility…they could take the bee sting…so they must be able to take something like…the end of the world…huh?
Plus…I’ve already pointed out that Falcon’s canon is more impressive than Diddy’s overall…when has Diddy Kong raced god? ^_^
Kinda iffy. Does Sonic has anything that's blessed of sorts?
Sonic has ****ing fought with gods using the chaos emeralds…how is that not better than lol…blessing from a ½ powered god?
Peach should've won indeed. Raizen really needs to change this yes.
Zelda is one of those characters where we really need to make a list of canon skills for before we have her fight some more(in fact that would be a good idea IMO…making a bloody list of what everyone has at their disposal)
Or failing that…throw that bloody match out…
Luigi really has nothing which would kill Ganondorf. No doubt, Ganondorf would still be able to get hurt, and show physical vagitue (sp?) but eventually, he can only be killed by the Master Sword, Silver Arrows and other blessed stuff.
Luigi having a power in him that destroys worlds isn’t enough to hurt a guy who can barely contain just one world? What?
Sure…it’s contained in him…so one could argue that he is sort of like Lucas/Ness before they unlocked their powers…but it is still there…
I've got no exact idea of what Wario can really do, and neither do most of us here. I agree with Pikachu winning, cause I can't see Wario take too many Thunderbolts especially with Light Ball. Volt Tackle is also really strong, Thunder Wave paralyses Wario.. so yeah I think Pika wins.
If you don’t know **** about one of the characters…that should be a reason to why you should be careful about saying who would win…
Here is a list of things Wario can do…by video…in just his newest game…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZcrTHFN9ew
Fast as lightning…strong as Hercules (well…he is stronger than that ok ^_^)
Extreme resistance to the elements/pretty much anything physical
Him getting his hands on you = you are ****ed
In older games Wario being “shocked” did **** to stop him…
Hell I could see him just knocking Pikachu off his feet with a “quake punch” and then breaking through him…he has shown strength that breaks though several layers of steel/stone (Don’t you dare say he won’t break stone/metal Kirby…ok)
BTW…in regards to Pikachu’s “tackle”
Look at Wario’s:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG1mCvAA-AI&feature=related
Olimar and his Pikmin get killed by bugs rolling over them. Electricity won't kill him now???
Olimar I’ve already talked about…but sadly I never brought up any of his chemical weapons as well…how could I forget them? =,(
How can Falcon hit Wolf when he's flying..?
Falcon has a flying car as well you know…and I don’t know how you people thought it was slow as well I might add…
Name more, I'll give my opinion.
Not right now…this post is already looking to be too much to want to post…why make the reply longer right now? ^_^
Uhm yes. But I think even the final bosses can't hurt Kirby when he's in Rock form. I think that's good effidence to show it's invincibility. Though... some attacks should be able to go through it of coarse.
He’s never fought a good % as in most of the final bosses with stone…he always usually has some special item…and as far as that trade goes…he can’t hurt them usually as well just by lying there…
Hell…I’ve seen plenty of things **** stone up as well…not just cliffs…some foes can break him out of it by “throw” moves…
You might be right, but it'd be unfair for Kirby supporters.
BS…I see a good % of the Kirby supporters actually quoting good powers that he has…
The only thing stone seems to me is just a defense move…because like 90% of the characters in this thread break through various stones and metals in some way or another…the fact that Sonic tied is BS with him as well I might add…
I'm not mixing it all up, and if I did I really don't care much cause my opinion stays the same about Lucas' power, the Needles, the Dragon and Mother 3's game ending in general. I just don't think he should have it. Rules of this thread also kinda disagree with Lucas getting it, so I don't think Lucas should be getting it.
Dude…the game even says the power is tied to Lucas…that isn’t disagreeing with the rules at all…and I like how you are in favor of characters like Ganondorf having his triforce piece when I’ve proved that said object has a “soul” so to speak as well…
At least the soul in this case with the dragon…only becomes Lucas’
Well, I'm not a big expert of Metroid either...
No mather how you look at it, the results will stay the same cause there isn't unlimited information of abilities and stuff in games, luckily. Cause it makes things simple and clear as this really.
Supersonic speed is a lot of info actually…so try again…it certainly is a lot more info than “super fast and invincible”
But can Lucas use Offense & Defense Up in game or not?
Yes…I thought that was clear…
Sure, but PK Healing hasn't shown being able to do that.
PK Healing has been shown to do that in the other Mother games…Lucas’ healing powers are greater than the other characters that have been in the mother games by far…what does that tell you?
Which is why actually we need to discuss exactly what could break Rock Kirby and Peach's parasol, cause otherwise most fights with them will end up in a draw. <_<
Again…we can just say the line…what proof will that work in a different world? And see if they can give proof…
I don't exactly think that it was Ness' physical powers that made Giygas fear him and his crew, but more his will power and rightousness.
Ah no…Giygas was the only one using PK Rockin before Ness came along…and he was showing fear of him before the game even started…
Dude…the thread is called…what if such and such was true to their games…not the what if such and such was true to the biggest example of game mechs. for the last time…
I'm not sure if I understand this.
What I mean is…Ness isn’t evil by heart…because he killed that side of himself…beating up on something that can’t think would be pretty evil don’t you think?
Then why Mewtwo lost to Ness then? Relatively, I believe Mewtwo would have more HP if he was in EarthBound than Ness. Yet he lost.
Ness is a universal threat with his psychic power for one if he wanted to be…that might be one reason…
And how would M2 have more HP?
Ness has more HP then a “FF monk/ninja/red mage” like class even before his boost…
Nobody is using the full Triforce here.
It doesn’t ****ing matter…the triforce is seen to be aware of what is going on remember? That was the reason why it broke up into several parts in OoT you know…
Because neither Zelda or Link get immortality like Ganondorf gets, the fact that they have their Triforce says about nothing and can be completly ignored when they are fighting here.
Actually…considering how they keep being reborn in spirit/ancestor and keep on doing that because of their connection to the triforce because of Ganondorf being around…I would sort of disagree about that in a way…
Ganondorf's can't however. If you played Zelda you'll know why. <_<
Ganondorf…again…has died more times than he has been sealed away…if you checked that part of one of my posts where I brought that little fact to the table…you would see that…
But here it is again…
LoZ-dead
Z2-not really around…but his followers are trying to revive him…that itself shows that he kicked the bucket in the 1st one
LttP-dead (and they even put in a for good thing…however, they reference him being sealed in this…so even though it is a reference for OoT based off all logic…I’ll count that as a seal count as well)
LA-1st game where he isn’t actually in it for a boss…but a likeness of him appears for a fight…however that isn’t him…that is just one of “Link’s Nightmares”
OoT-sealed
MM-not even talked about really IIRC
OoA/OoS-Killed in the end…in fact the reason he came back in the 1st place was because he was “revived” so in truth…you can add two to the counter of dead
WW-he lost the triforce of power…if anything…he is dead
4SA-sealed…add two to that count now I guess…
PH-reference in this…that is all
TP-sucker lost the triforce of power (as in it faded away) while it is up for debate…the SOB is dead IMO…
4 sealed…6 killed in total…oh my…
Mother's canon lacks lots of proof in game. The only thing it REALLY did is saving the island from destruction of the same power...
Ah…no…it saved the island from the end of the world as well actually…and it says it can do stuff as well…why is it so hard to take the game’s own script as evidence?
SPM doesn’t show the main bad guy truly destroying the universe…yet…I certainly can believe that he could have if he got the chance…
Ganondorf has never taken a bullet through the brain…yet I think he could take one based off the whole god protection thing…
I'm half limiting Lucas on purpose I suppose. Cause yes, I believe if Lucas would actually be allowed to have his Dragon power it'll place him on number 1 on the list. I don't want any obvious winners.
You have said that I’m biased in my things, have said that I’m pushy with making people believing my things…
However, you saying you are half limiting Lucas on purpose pretty much can show that you are far more biased in this than I am…
Marth winning from Ganondorf
Zelda BS logic can prevent that from happening because Marth doesn’t have the master sword…even though he is also using holy weapons…and the only reason why Ganondorf is hurt in the 1st place by something like the master sword is because it is “holy”
But that still won’t be enough for the Zelda side to fall back…
What do you mean with that?
If you looked at what I was responding to with your post…you accused me of calling you guys stupid…when I did no such thing…
It's just a weapon, which gives Lucas an offensive boost. Nothing more, nothing less.
Ah no…
In NPC…you can buy a fake copy of Ness’ bat, Paula’s fry pan, Ness’ hat, and Paula’s ribbon…along with some other stuff IIRC…
But later in the chapter…near the final needle even…you find a “real” bat (well worded like that at least)…
“Real” as in…not a fake copy like Porky has…get my point…
Not enough effidence to say...
Itoi saying it himself isn’t enough evidence that Ninten/Ness/Lucas are the same in spirit?
If your overleveled yeah.
Even if you aren’t over-leveled Ness can screw things over pretty easily…he has by far the easiest single character quest in that game IMO…
I see no reason to bring that up here. =/
My point of bringing up rockin was again…showing canon proof for what it is…considering how it is the representation of their power…which I’ve already talked about the power of the earth to much for me to want to continue going into…
Cause, if the earth has been saved, why should it be saved again? Most likely, the Needles would be put back later on and the power would be sealed. But don't know really.
How will the needles be put back? The things that sealed it are dead…plus the only reason they were put there in the 1st place was because the power was going to be needed for some random event in the 1st place that no one had any idea about (the end of the world and then dealing with Porky’s more than mild hate of humanity).
Going on with that…considering how your arguments for characters like Bowser/Samus being able to use the star rod/Phazon in the 1st place for these fights is because “they had it once”…hell…plenty of the Link’s in this thread have given up their master sword by how their games ended…yet we allow that still…
Well Lucas had the power of the earth “once” as well…how about that? And again…unlike them…he has no real proof to him losing it…
In a 3D setting, angling your running direction to the left or right while running forward, is still moving forward, since your feet are still propelling your body and maintaining that momentum (the "moving forward" momentum).
Have you actually looked into the info you just said? Want to know how much space is used just to turn around at those speeds normally? Please take a guess...my point of saying you can only go in one direction in the 1st place was in truth just a reference to this thing right here...and how hard it would truly be to change directions...
You could also see this in Super Metroid, or any other Metroid where Samus gets Speed Booster, for that matter: if you Speed Boost, guess what? You can stop running and keep the Speed Booster energy by DUCKING (movement of the whole body). You can also JUMP (lower body movement) and keep your invincibility intact until you touch the floor and completely stop.
Fun fact...that time when Samus is storing that energy...she isn't invincible...so if anything thought that the reason for Samus being lol Invincible (game mech) was the energy...yeah...please look again
The lol invincibility is only caused because of the speed reaching past the sound barrier...and again...look into what happens with that type of speed...if you look right…logically…that isn’t invincibility…
Still...if anything...breaking mach-1 is a by far more impressive sounding than "super fast"
Something that can be argued against, since Samus has also made it to 3D worlds.
I wonder what speed booster is going to be like in Metroid: Other M?
Meh, he could go Stone to outlast all of Lucas' attacks
Yes, because Lucas is going to be going all out on something he can't hurt...he'd wait it out...and buff himself up in the process...
Whenever Lucas starts up an attack (since there's no instant attacks, they all have all those start-up flashy things)
Can you even tell what Lucas is doing with those flashy things? My view of it...because it is a TK wave of energy (which btw would mean auto-activation time)
Is just that Lucas is filling them with said psychic energy...before he sets it off in a huge BOOM...
So...I'm pretty sure it's going to hurt a lot even before you get hurt by the boom because of that...plus it makes sense anyway due to the wild damage rates Rockin/Love give and the cost of it...
