with all the hero hate and stuff cause of the RNG

if banjo had something similar, maybe an infinite combo or a zero to death, do you think people would be parading on the streets for a ban too, or would they not do it because it's banjo
People aren't necessarily calling for a ban over how good Hero is, in fact I'm seeing a lot of people saying he's sort of middle of the pack, just all the RNG in his kit makes him unfun to play against for some people.
Anyway people would probably complain if Banjo had some crazy ****, yeah.

I'm just glad the Eshop card I bought all the way back when I got the accessories(Holy **** the GC Controller is 100$ now), works.

Granted, I'll need to get another sooner or later for Online and the remaining Mii costumes.

Lorenz and Linhardt have the best damn Time skip look and Ashe, oh god Ashe
They're all great. Linhardt, especially, got a total glow up.

My favorite timeskip designs are probably Ferdinand and Dorothea since both look fancy as hell.

Done with FE for the day, and my dudes...most of my units are ridiculous right now:

Hubert- Dark Knight
Ferdinand- Great Knight
Dorothea- Gremory
Bernadetta-Bow Knight
Linhardt- Holy Knight
Petra- Falcon Knight
Ingrid- Falcon Knight
Raphael- Fortress Knight (basically nothing hurts him ever)
Leonie- Bow Knight

I could go on, but I’m hyped. Pretty much unstoppable with most units I have thus far. There are others but I don’t want to take up half the page of the thread like I normally do.

So it turns out that they changed it so that if your Elite Smash status changes after a match, it tells you and you can't request a rematch against your last opponent.

*Loses fight*
"Elite Smash has been canceled."
*Wins fight*
"Elite Smash has been unlocked."
*Loses fight*
"Elite Smash has been canceled."

Fun.

The competitive community doesn't really give a damn who the character is, he might get defended a lot by people, especially the people in between that casual and competitive crowd, but that's also currently the case with Hero. I doubt Banjo will have anything too crazy since there hasn't been a truly reliable infinite since Brawl (maybe the ZSS one in Smash 4 at launch, but that's about it), but even if he were to hypothetically have as crazy a toolkit as someone like Smash 4 Bayo, we've already seen they don't ban characters on those grounds, even Brawl Meta Knight didn't stay banned. Hero's case is pretty unique because of how he's designed, it's not that he's way too strong, it's more so the age old debate on how competitive something can be when RNG plays a significant part in nullifying skill, it's why a lot of people can't take something like Hearthstone E-Sports seriously.

Personally I think something has to prove itself to be very detrimental to a game's competitive scene before we even begin discussing a ban, and that takes at minimum a year before we can properly conclude imo. I didn't even agree with the Meta Knight ban in Brawl, because I think the game would have suffered even more if ICs were the top tier character, at least with Meta Knight you had to actually play the game.

The simple solution to that would have been to ban Icies as well.

Of course I also agree that campaigning for a Hero ban this early is silly.

Blame Crusher! He brought them up in the first place!
*grabs laser gun*

Now hold up there playa! If you wanna play the blame game, might as well place it on the person who bought it up in the first place

I guess I’d pick Piplup for Diamond and Pearl. But I almost don’t want to let it evolve. Tbh, all those final evolutions suck.
I'm an oddball here, but I loathe Piplup. And it's due to the anime where it became annoying and all. I've yet to play a game of DPP with the Piplup line ironically, and it's a Pokemon I'm gonna pick for my starter in Platinum using a different type of team this time around.

I feel you. I just happened to get lucky finding the last copy at target. Your best bet is probably just to order it off of amazon or some other online retailer. You know how this nintendo scarcity is.

Up to Peach in the VS Mode unlocks.

Really starting to feel that AI Rampup I've heard so much about.
IIRC, the AI difficulty in unlock matches was reduced in a patch.

Hopefully it actually was. I remember Dark Pit getting a 0-death on me.

It's subjective because it really comes to what you are expecting.
Unless you are mentioning to certain games like Pokemon... then yeah I get that.
But 2019 there's many great hits, like Astral Chain, DQ XI S, Mario Maker 2, and man good games so on so forth.
Even third party games doesn't look too shabby, we've got Cuphead this year and Outer Worlds, game from a Microsoft studio.

It's understandable and unfortunate taht 2019 sucks for you, but it would be better if you explain what do you want exactly.

That's definitely Ruby Rose alright.
I like hack n slash. So Astral Chain looks cool. And we had DMCV, even if classic Dante isn’t my favorite version of the character. I like racing games, so I got CTR, which has exposed me to the most elitist community in a racing game I’ve ever seen (not the games fault to be fair). I like fighting games. And aside from Smash and by the Numbers dlc for the other major fighting games, Mortal Kombat 11 came out and managed to severely disappoint me despite having many of my favorite characters (in my opinion they ruined the gameplay).

In the mean time, so little was announced for 2020 that I’m not excited for it either and I’m scared I’m going to loose video games forever. Especially with what actually was announced and how much people love it. The Cyberpunk 2077 reveal event and reaction actually made me sad. Because this is basically the only kind of game we’ve been getting for a long time and will probably be all we get for a long time.

I don’t really watch the anime. I don’t really watch anime in general.

Just found out that the most scariest thing in the world is a wild Mew2King slowly chasing you with a pillow. The mans so advanced that he walks like Marth and utilizes dash dances irl.

barely related but I was browsing through reddit and somebody mentioned that since they're releasing lunatic later on that means they could use player data to make it even harder, and that thought scares me

Okay. If we get any Three Houses Character at all, I want it to be Byleth, done Pokémon Trainer style with all three students. And before you say that doesn’t make sense because you only pick one, that’s basically the same thing in Pokémon and nobody cares that that’s how Pokémon works.

I'd argue it still makes sense from a Pokemon perspective assuming it's supposed to represent your party of Pokemon you can switch in and out, and you can techincally aquire all the starters through other means like trading

It’s not conceivable that he could get all three into his class? I haven't played, but I know you can recruit across house lines. Even if it’s not strictly possible in game, is it something that COULD happen in the world of the game.

its impossible to get all the house leaders in one class, they are also completely opposed to each other and would not work together

Okay then. You had a chance to win me over to wanting a Three Houses Rep. but the only actually interesting thing you could do with the characters apparently won’t work so back to staunch opposition I go.
