On another note I am becoming seriously outta shape, my hip has recurrning pains ;A; Mom insists it's due to lack of exercise but I insist it's overexertion as I bend and twist in unnatural angles while constantly doing chores
You don't apply real life logic to videogames unless you are playing Professor Layton or Ace Attorney full stop.
Simple as that. This rant was not needed.
I need to get Paintshop Pro again. Working on images will be a heck lot easier with it, so I might be able to put more creativity in my signatures. Luckily the background of all three original images I used in my current one are pitch black so I didn't need to do much other than put them all together and add the captions.
Here comes another rant... That involves real life logic versus Nintendo logic... So, behold! A spoiler.
Coming from a martial arts background, I do not, I repeat: I do not like Zero Suit Samus's Side Smash or Dash Attack in SSB4. Her Side Smash starts off with a roundhouse which is fine, but then she does this side kick where she leans way too far back. Superwoman or not, but that would probably kill her spine. Oh, and do I have to mention that her jet heels are active? Yeah, imagine her slipping and the heel propels her down crushing her skull and spine. Really? What the hell? At least give her a proper side kick or make it more upright like the Mii Brawlers. Ha... HAHA! The Mii Brawler and Gunner do better than Zero Suit Samus and Samus in accurate, safe moves, and Mii Gunner being a better Samus...
Have fun with a messed up spine, Samus...
All right, in Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, Vergil's basic combo for Beowulf was a left punch, right punch, and a "hurricane kick". The hurricane kick is roundhouse followed by a spinning back kick... It's a spinning kick like Fox's Fair. Well, that could be deadly considering ZSS's jet heels propelling her forward and accelerating her legs. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=J_PsJ4ObyUU#t=217.
So, Dash Attack, what's wrong with this? She's leaning her head in. I don't know if this is because of her jet heels, but with flying knees, you don't lean your head in. Why? Well, if you telegraph it, then a person could side step and slam your head in. Hell, they don't even have to slam you, they could push your head in. Also, some people clinch - grab - when they do a flying knee. You know what gets in the way? A person's head. Yeah, headbutting incorrectly injuries both, but I think it's much worse for the headbutter. Or if they can, they could guard themselves and an elbow to the head hurts - trust me, I've had an elbow straight down on my head once and it was by accident. Since she's throwing her entire weight in like that, if she falls, trips, or whatever, it's going to hurt... A lot. I wouldn't be surprised if her neck snaps. Leaning back would equalize her weight distribution.
Also, her chin's not tucked in which she can't in that position since it would leave her blind. Tucking your chin in means things like uppercuts aren't going to do much, but in this case, I think it might be like a shock absorber if something happens. Welp, Samus might need a neck brace by the end of SSB4.
I know I complain a lot, I know it's just a game, and I have been really nitpicky about Samus, but the inner martial artist in me wants to say something and also, my inner safety instructor... person... thing doesn't want Samus to get hurt even though she's a fictional character.
So you mean after Sega stopped making consoles everything went downhill? Ehh I guess you're right. Same with Activision (which is funny because it was created by a bunch of developers who were dissatisfied with Atari's policies and wanted to make good games, and look at them now.), Ubisoft, EA, and all that.
But I need to vent! That or a pet bunny, guinea pig, or some other adorable creature to ease my anguished soul. Yeah, the edge and the angst. I could be a modern day anti-hero.
