Sometimes I think the Geno community has devolved into cultists who brainwash other people into thinking Geno is a saint that has the upmost deservedness out of anyone else in the history of video games.

But don't tell them I said that or you'll see me missing for weeks and then hear me praising his name from the rooftops. :239:i don't even need to clarify that im joking do i
I mean, joking aside, the community acts like "Me no play this game. Me no know it exist, thus, game bad."


Terry's the shining example of this. "Terry just Trucker Ken. Terry bad. 20+ years of gaming legacy? Me never play King of Fighters. Unga Bunga no deserve spot."

tbh I feel like some of the most frequently requested characters are from games a lot of the community hasn't _layed but still su_ _ orts anyway for some reason, though I agree they're _romoted with the same mentality ('they deserve it!') that you've mentioned

The funny thing is, the Japanese hardcore fans like their Smashboard/reddit/4chan goers are just as bad if not worse than ours.

They constantly call us westerners out for clinging onto dead characters or series like Geno or Golden Sun respectively(most don't even seem to remember Golden Sun even exists when its brought up), and for every "Japan bias" you see on Reddit, they counter en masse with "Western pick"

Lol

I wanna ask you guys something, do you have a nickname in real life and if so, what is it?
For me, my auntie calls me "Jojo". (Guess where that comes from... Za Warudo!)

My online nickname is Lesley. It's taken from a character in Mobile Legends.

My real nickname...it's secret.

I just wanna know what these Ja_anese fans actually want as all these su_ _ osed "Ja_anese most wanted character _olls" usually turn out to be based on really small sam_le sizes or some other dodgy statistical _ractices, usually skewed to show "see, Ja_an wants this character too!!!"

Not really, but if I could give MYSELF one...

"ultimate master of shilling super mega plus ultra! *insert irl name here*"
(do I even need to say this is a joke?)

I know a looooooot of them were pretty pissed no Rex from XB2.

Xenoblade2 seemed to be one of their forerunners for speculation, and then Mii costume happened.

tell me. Do they think spirits do or don’t deconfirm and do they want some characters that were spirits?

I legit don't know, I only bop on over to 2ch or whatever the **** it's called now and Japanese Twitter when there's a Smash related event happening to see how they react.

The funniest thing I remember in this west vs east thing would have to be Incineroars reveal

Once the "BOX THEORY WAS RIGHT!!!" posts died down, people on the west seemed to rationalize him as:

"Incineroar is popular in Japan."

"Japan bias"

Etc


But when 2ch saw Incineroar, and afaik they either didn't know or care about box theory, it was like:

"Gaogan? This Pokemon is popular in the west?"

"Do westerners like Gaogan or something?"


So many people pointed to Japan, and they pointed right back.

Online, I have a few: Smooth, Smoothie, Sugoi, whatever my handle is in this one Discord I help out in, etc.

Meatspace has a few, also: Nubs, Shoop, Princess, Kevin-more, and a few others that are little more than vulgar pejoratives adequately summing up how frustrated someone is with me, lol

Hey guys.
I'm not feeling all that happy right now. I found a guy I really liked, I opened myself up to him... and he said we'll be really good friends. :cry:

Don’t worry goth. The first try usually doesn’t work. You’re still young. You have plenty of time to find something. I’m almost 21 and I still haven’t had a first date.

Better than him flat out rejecting you and being disgusted. Besides, there are other fish in the sea.

My opinion on relationships aside(spoiler: I just don't really care about love interests) you'll be fine. It's not always love at first sight.

I've literally been trying to think of a polite way to say this for like 10 minutes arrrrrghhhhhh

to be fair i do agree the west clings onto dead characters/series too much.

I am guilty of it with F-Zero, but I've moved on. Nothing I can do to convince Nintendo it is a series worth having.

You have a friend? How terrible.

It can develop into something more in the future. If not, you have a friend out of it. It's a win-win.

Spoiler Alert: You didn't have to say a damn thing about your opinion on relationships.
But thank you anyway.

Figured as much, felt it was necessary to mention so it didn't seem like I was just saying "deal with it, move on" super rudely.
also because it might seem like I know more about love and relationships if I don't mention it

osby osby Ramen Tengoku Ramen Tengoku how’s your day going?

It turns out that today I’m going to sleep at my grandfather’s home to help him build something tomorrow!

This day just keeps getting better, and hopefully both of you are also having a decent one!
