October's been a funny month so far.

Literally 99% of the population: October's back, which means halloween and trick or treating and pumpkin spice are back <3
Me, a weirdo: NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE IS BACK YEET

I do like how the weather's cooling down though. Wearing long sleeves feels really comfy in the evenings. When we reach November perhaps it'll be time to swap over to long sleeve full time until April and whatnot.

You have to be from Canada or Minnesota. Or just generally somewhere far up north.

"Anime"? I'm pretty sure they all use 3D models, and pretty realistic ones on top of that.

Of course it’s 3D models. But it’s still not a realistic aesthetic. Try to tell me that this is a realistic face. Or this one. These characters are still anime. Just grounded anime.

Then you certainly didn't see how many people whined he looked too similar to Ike or that he's too anime and that we should have gotten a cartoony SE character

*looks at all the sword fighting styles completely absent in Smash as Smash generally uses finesse sword moves or generic slashes alongside the fact games like Guilty Gear or SamSho make their swordies extremely different with said styles*
Sure, Jan

Guess I was in the right place at the right time.

Btw, don't take my society comments seriously.

I just can't stop thinking about the Joker movie.

Finished an image. It's rendering atm.

The whole point of a counter is that they're for when you read what the opponent does and punish them accordingly.
They're pretty common in fighting games as a whole.

Yeah. I play a lot of fighting games and I never like them. I can never get the timing right. I’d just rather wail on them.

That's limitations of the systems they were on.
They're still realistic for the time.

 

[Guynamednelson]

I really don't see the purpose in rehashing a single character three times.

I dunno, ask the series that has Ryu, Red Ryu, Ripoff-of-a-ripoff Ryu, Evil Ryu...

Anime is just an abbreviation for "animation", it's not a style.

Also, no early 3D models were actually realistic, because of system limitations.

By the way, Bayonetta has a weirdly realistic face considering her giraffe limbs, but not sure if you count her.

One thing I'm worried about for Godzilla vs. Kong is because to the GA they're the heroes in their eyes they're gonna pull off an typical generic Batman vs. Superman team up against a bigger bad. As if we haven't already seen enough of that crap. These are giant animals, granted intelligent ones but still giant animals not human beings. I want the movie to be about their fight and nothing more.

I'd rather this movie be more like Freddy vs. Jason or Alien vs. Predator.

I believe that we could see Godzilla go into madness and make an extreme abuse of the power he achieved at the end of King of the Monsters, with Kong having to fight him back.

That one line of "Godzilla's in our side... for now" makes me feel so.

Godzilla: "Find... him. Save... MARTHA!"

Kong: "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!"

Now I will admit though its execution that matters. Closest I'd be fine with it is they fight a bigger bad but they're not working together. They're simply just trying to survive. I'd be okay with that.

Godzilla: "Find... him. Save... MARTHA!"

Kong: "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!"

And then Mothra comes and...oh wait, they fridged her.

That could also make sense too.

Still thinking a lot about that one line, since it feels as a tease of Godzilla potentially going against humanity sometime soon.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

DANG IT! I SHOULD'VE DONE "SAVE MOTHRA" INSTEAD!

HOW'D I GLOSS OVER THIS?!

Aren't they supposed to be smart creatures? Then they should understand working together would be a smarter thing to do.

"Animals always compete for survival" is a pretty old-fashioned line of thought in biology now that we know cooperation is just as, if not more, common in most advanced species.

Yes but the thing is we've seen these team ups many times before with Batman vs. Superman and Civil War as if we already haven't seen this in movies before. I'd rather it not be in this film or if it must as said executed differently which I'd otherwise be okay with but leave an team up for future movie and let the movie be about their fight.

These are giant animals, intelligent ones yes but not human beings.

I think you mean stylized, that's not "anime."

The Smash Fandom has been debating for months if Waluigi could get a Fighter moveset to the point that not even Smash Flash 2 could cease the debates by adding Waluigi to their roster.

And at the same time, the Smash fandom refuses to believe for the most part that Pauline has appeared outside Mario Odyssey and the DK arcade to believe she lacks moveset potential. Sometimes extending themselves to claim she is too human-like for a Switch port of 3D World.


Mario characters live in a society where they are oppressed.

Ooc, does Pauline has a bigger role in the Mario vs DK games? The first two games iirc (DK94 and Mario VS DK) have her as a damsel again. Does this change in further entries?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Anyways that's just me. Even if there is a team up I'm still gonna love the film because of the Godzilla and Kong fanboy in me and still consider it the best film of that year. I admit to this bias.

All I hope is it does better in the box office then the last film did.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

**** me, ok turns out that we are taking him back. The family that we thought was keeping him wasnt keeping him

In the latest entries her mini-self became part of the playable characters.

One of those games is Tipping Stars.

Personally I want Godzilla and King Kong to calmly work out their differences over some tea.

So, I've wanted a way to show off my art some more, so I thought I'd post some of my pieces here every now and then, talk about the art, etc. Also wanted to tag some people I would like critique from, so @JDCabrera, and AndreaAC , would love your thoughts.

So, here's a piece I just did.

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....070/96903F5F75778CA7AEB517366308788822E17145/

The model is by CoolioArt and Lettuce-Boi, but I actually had to port it over from Blender 2.79 t 2.8, which was an absolute pain, but worth it. This was more of a lighting test, but I'm pretty happy with the posing as well. Tried to make the lights generally white, but added a red spotlight below him to give off sort of a "sinister" vibe. Also, in order to have his hand not show behind his back, I had to do this, and it looks very strange.

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....064/9674C54F11CCBC1C0902C9637C44A9B508C158E3/

Anddd that'll be all.

I think that the picture is too dark, since the details can't be seen really well. At least for me.

Doh I dig the pose you gave the character.

Thanks!

The issue with brightness is that on mine, it looks fine, but on others iPads and PCs and whatnot it may not, so I gotta be more careful. xD TY!

If I wasn't limited regarding money I would pick it alongside Switch online to join you.

How much more Godzilla action is there in King of Monsters compared to the 2014 movie? I wasn't a huge fan of the first one because every scene with Godzilla in it was really ******* dark and the human characters weren't very interesting. ( The performance that Bryan Cranston gave was an exception, of course.)

I just want to see some mayhem!

A lot.

Quite a lot.

And it is top tier action that almost matches the fight between Gogeta and Broly in DBS:B.

xD Well, even with full brightness on, I could barely see, when zooming in, I could see the lighting hiting the...animatronic thingy (the focus on the glowing eyes is also grat) hitting him from behind, I guess that's a success since you want to give the scary vibe. And don't worry about the hand or if its actually weird when you look at the actual position. Just like many artists, and even pros, WE CAN CHEAT THINGS. :3 Anything so it works visually.

 

[MSmariosonic]

Just watched the Ganondorf vs Dracula Death Battle

Spoiler

THAT WAS ONE SICK FIGHT!!1

The voice actors did an amazing job and the animation was far better and longer than I expected.

The moment both of them went kaiju was so hype and I totally agree with the outcome!

If you think that face is realistic then you have never seen a human being in your life.

What's worse is that I already have my next game planned out, so I probably won't be getting DQB2 anytime soon. ;(

But from what I saw, DBQ2 looks really fun.

 

[Opossum]

Honestly, you really could pull a Hero with Marth, Roy, Chrom, and Lucina and I don’t think anyone would complain.

I absolutely would. Chrom and Marth are two of my favorite characters in all of Fire Emblem and having them play the exact same way is a major disservice. Marth being a classically trained swordsman vs Chrom with his wild and aggressive style.

Hell just look at their idle animations and the difference is night and day. Marth keeps his torso turned toward the camera (keeping his stance very closed and harder to strike) while bobbing back and forth to remain limber and ready to evade. Chrom keeps an incredibly open stance, torso faced toward the opponent and Falchion more to the side, while occasionally clenching his free fist. Marth's style is poised and refined; Chrom's is reckless and aggressive.

This isn't even getting into things like how Chrom would lose things like Soaring Slash and Awakening Aether, his own taunts, and his victory poses. Alternate costumes don't get those things. Not to mention there are actually more differences between Marth and Roy's base movesets than there are between Villager and Isabelle's, but the latter gets a pass.

Making characters into alternate costumes is never the answer when they have very distinct things setting them apart. It's why so many are upset about Alph's treatment to this day. So you better believe I'd complain.

I have DQB2 on Switch, it’s like the only Dragon Quest anything I’ve ever played ahaha. I don’t have too much interesting stuff on my island yet, like, so far I have a few buildings, an area with the pixelart blocks that has a small church, and part of a piston rollercoaster, ahaha... Might be fun to try multiplayer, then.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I’ll comceed to that. Sure. Styleized. Early MGS was styleized.
