Nah fam...If Incineroar was simply green and shot vines from his belt instead of flames, you'd be clamoring for his inclusion over that "generic fire owl"
Boy, if I could list out all the Japanese things I've seen that have the 7 pronged sword, I could make an entire TVTropes page about it.Is that the sword from Demon Sword?!
That's honestly how I've always felt which why I find it weird there's such a clamor for the grasses because well they've never been frontrunners.
Dixie Kong(preferably unique as possible)
I definitely heard more for dedicei the grass pokemon, and the ghost Pikachu. This incineroar stuff seems to have only came out recently/after verge
Whether or not Shulk’s Monado Arts are fun is COMPLETELY subjective. He’s one of my favorite characters because of them, as well as his play style being one of the most fun in the game for me.
I mean tbf Sakurai doesn't care much about spoilers evidently so Shield can be replaced by Armour which is more similar, plus I will never forgive the decision to make Monado Buster, a huge '**** me' attack, into Monado Enchant
Ah, yes, who could forget the Nintendo lootbox scandal, the Nintendo on-disc DLC scandal, or the Nintendo pay-to-win micro-transaction scandal?
You say that but Pokemon always gets away with on disc dlc in form of event pokemon without criticism
Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. "Fun" is subjective and playing Shulk has the opposite effect for me.
Oh no, being off from canon doesn't make him a bad character.
Yeah and Buster functions more like Monado Enchant and Shield functions more like Armor. The only thing that's 1:1 with what it does ingame is Monado Speed which boosts his "agility" though in Smash's case, literally.
Well, I mean, both Enchant and Buster increase damage on Mechon. It’s just that Enchant does it for auto attacks, while Buster does it for, well, Buster.
"Buffs damage to mechon" to "Buffs damage to everything"
- Rex (or Lora)
Except no, Enchant is for YOUR PARTY MEMBER'S auto attacks and Buster doesn't increase damage done to Mechon, the Monado itself ignores their Mechon resistances so Shulkdoesn't get any major problems against Mechon. Buster is a powerful overhead strike, sure, it does more damage, but it isn't bonus damage, it's a single powerful attack
But... Linkle literally doesn't have anything other than dual mini crossbows. She isn't literally just female Link, she's just a girl named AFTER link
Which they then... sell... to... us...?
That’s pretty much what I was getting at though. Also, yeah, I know that about enchant, which is why I said that we’d still have “the same problem”.
They're a limited time only which is similar to the manipulation used with say, Overwatch's event skins, making you feel incredibly pressured, plus back in the day you always had to drive to some event and buy tickets at an amusement to be allowed to get it
Except it doesn't. Enchant does more damage on Mechon meaning it translates to "Does more damage" easier than "A powerful Limit Break tier strike"
Whatever the quixotic ideas Game Freak intended with event Pokemon, I'm pretty sure profit maximization was not part of it. Running niche promotional events IRL is hella expensive.
Gwen where are you meeting these people that actually like event Pokemon, because literally everyone has been saying for decades that event Pokemon suck ****. I don't think I've met anyone that actually likes the idea of hauling ass to Gamestop just to download a sprite, even if it's free.
Indeed. Decidueye was on almost every prediction list prior to E3. But they slowed down after the "Everyone Is Here" reveal, and stopped almost completely once Verg said he wasn't in.
You mean the on disc dlc they don't charge for?
She also has a variety of magic boots that give her crazy kick attacks.
Is there any difference between this question and "What are your 6 most wanted characters?"
It's less but the data and everything is still there, you just need to download or hack the key in the game because it's all there

: The Wind Waker. I don't hate this game's art-style, but I do hate it's dungeons and dreadful sailing.: Other M. May that game burn in hell for an eternity.: Gen 6. The most hollow generation in Pokemon history. Love the Kalos Pokemon though, so I guess that's a plus in that Gen's favor.: Controversial pick, but a tie between Awakening and Fates. Guys, I tried. I tried really hard to see what other people saw in these games, but I just couldn't. The stories were hilariously awful, even for FE's standard of writing, and I myself found it very hard to care about the main cast of characters in both of those games. The gameplay ranged from pretty good (Conquest) to boring (Awakening and Birthright) to downright abysmal (Revelations). Sorry FE fans, I just did not see the hype in these games. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯: Xenoblade Chronicles X. The gameplay was good, the writing and characters...not so much.: Tough call, but I'm going to say Peace Walker. Just did not enjoy that game as much as the other MGS games.: Mega Man 1. Meh. MM 1 just didn't really stand out as much as MM 2, MM 3, and MM 4 did.: Another tough call, but I'd have to say Dawn of Sorrow. Dawn of Sorrow was just lackluster in comparison to other Castlevania games., but I love both games, so I'm not counting her games .
I use to think it was a cool novelty but having to go somewhere every month to get a code got annoying. Game Freak should really make them all online as well.
Yeah it's gotten pretty bad. You could pretty much get all mythicals via wifi mystery gift before, I have no idea why they even stopped using it. It's not like they have anything to gain by making us go to stores, especially since... It's free.
Well, the price is to justify the gimmicky "joycon" and the mew is just a "free extra". Still pushing the line though.
Zelda 2 just for not being my styleGen 5 for having my least fav Pokemon designs and starters as well as being very linear Yoshi's New Story for that godawful main theme being shoehorned everywhere and adding barely anything Sonic Boom for what they did to Knuckles
So probably another "opening the flood gates" question, but from each of the series in Smash that are your favorites/have the most experience with, what is your least favorite game from that series?
My picks:
NOTE: I have expericance with
Other M, no explanation needed. Hunters isn't actually that much better though.Pokémon Diamond/Pearl, an extremely unpopular opinion these days, but Sinnoh is by far the worst region they've ever designed, and its many long bland routes with too many trainers aren't helped by the agonizingly slow gameplay. The story is also a bunch of nonsense, even more so than usual at least, and the amount of required HMs is a joke. Platinum is slightly better, but still bad. Epic Yarn, I get the target demographic thing and all, but even kids could use something more challenging than this, it's almost insulting. If we don't count it I'll say Kirby 64 then, lots of good ideas ruined by shallow level design and awful controls. New Super Mario Bros. U, it's not a bad game in isolation, but it just doesn't do anything new, it felt like playing the same game as the DS and Wii counterparts. Just a really weak way to kick off the Wii U. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, a pretty easy choice given the standard of the series tbh. A decent concept that's plagued by tons of baffling design decisions and incredibly frustrating sections. Mother/Earthbound Zero, lots of things I appreciate about this one actually, but mother of god the grinding is bad, not least to mention the factory part. These days it feels like a demo for Earthbound, just with a few neat ideas of its own. Mega Man 1, the rest of the NES series does an incredibly good job hitting that sweetspot where it's challenging but not too frustrating, this one doesn't. Obviously difficult to blame it too much given this was the first entry, but the leap in quality from this to Mega Man 2 is astounding.
- I've played 4 FE games now and still can't find anything to like about the series, compared to other SRPGs FE is just so barebones in terms of both gameplay, strategy and especially characters and worldbuilding.- I love Pokemon with all my heart and soul but oh my god Gamefreak please. LGPE looks like a trainwreck and USUM was such an insult to the players. I want Pokemon to trive but Gamefreak is clearly complacent doing the bare minimum and making millions off of just the brand name, if Gen 8 doesn't fix people's issues with the 3D Pokemon games I might really leave it behind for good. Oh, for my least favorite game, all of Sinnoh was horrendous. HG/SS is my second favorite after BW/2 though so I don't feel right attacking Gen 4 since it also gave us the blessing know as PMD2.- I love Splatoon so sososososoosososo much but the balance is still awful. Tower control is dominated by Stingray, Blasters and Sloshers are still crazy busted and the matchmaking is such a mess. The game seriously revolves around Stingray, how has Nogami not adressed the issue with the special? Not even Inkjet is this centralizing. Last Splatfest I played like ~35-40 games and maybe 10 of them were against the enemy team rather than my own. Salmon Run also needs some kind of update because it's very stale now.- I really hope AC2019 adds more lines to the villagers and also makes it easier to story and use custom designs. I had to make alt accounts on ACNL just to store my path designs. Also let me choose my skintone instead of needing to tan to get darker skin.-Please just let Sonic Mania become the standard and also stop putting Classic Sonic in 3D games. Character creator can stay though..
To not just be a Negative Nancy I figure I'll add some favorites, too.
MM5, by far. Which is funny, since it's right after 4, my favorite.Pretty safe to say the first Mother game is the weakest. I'd say I prefer 3, but it and Earthbound are about the same standing.Galaxy, can't think of any reason to play it again (haven't played 2 so that one might be worse)? I love World and 64.WW, found the world pretty lackluster. I prefer the 2D entries, like Link's Awakening and even Zelda II.Simon's Quest is probably the worst, but I have a soft spot for it, so I'll pick SCIV. Never liked the proportions of the monsters in that game. If we're talking Metroidvanias.... Circle of the Moon hasn't aged that well. Honestly I think Dawn of Sorrow is my favorite, but it's probably because it's the first one I really played (other than Simon's Quest).
Since when has that stopped Sakurai from taking an artistic license with a character's--? *sigh* nevermind. Forget I said anything. Besides...
I think I like this idea more. Though my idea of a season pass would also mean that every "pack" introduces something like a new mode or feature in addition to the two characters.
: Mario Kart Wii. Bad Memories aplenty.: I've only ever beaten HW, TP, and ALBW. But from what the decent amount of Wind Waker and the admittedly very little experience I've had with OOT and Skyward Sword, I think I'm okay with having only beaten those three tbh.: If we're talking individual games, Ultra Moon. If we're talking entire generations, Gen 1 has aged horrifically. Sure, it's easy to crack in half and see all the cute little bugs running around it, but once you get past the graphics and the glitches, there's really not much to talk about. It's just a top-down Metroidvania where playing it in any way that isn't "disregard the entire point of the game and only use your starter and an HM slave," it immediately becomes a complete and utter bore. Ultra Moon, however, I was ****ed no matter how I played it because it's just Sun/Moon again but with an even worse story and totem fights.:
: Never beat a Metroid game, but Other M deserves to rot in the 9th Circle of Gamer Hell for the defilement and desecration of Video Gaming's Wonder Woman.: Peacewalker? Did you say...
: There's a deep-fried meme that I think aptly applies to just how nonsense Secret Rings somehow is, but I have no interest in posting it because I just don't have it in me.: I had a bad time with Bayonetta 1 tbh. Killed any interest I had in the series.
