This could get buried but hey.


Well my fellow members, I'll be done talking for the day. Today I'll probably know my fate regarding a few things with my college. For some unknown reason I'm feeling a bit optimistic today for a rarity. It could be the feeling I need

Enjoy your day guys.

Just blew 15k out of 20k gems in Masters but I finally got Leaf, Hilda, and Hilbert. Also got boosts for Blue, Caitlin, and Elesa so I can't complain too much.

Hopefully Leaf lives up to her potential. Not loosing stat increases, having multiple ways to increase stats, move gauge boosts, can heal, and transferring boosts upon switching out is fantastic if you want team synergy in single player or co-op; granted if you're after damage or a Mega Evolution boost from a Sync attack you'd be out of luck. I like that Eevee also continues to use it's anime voice.

I kind of wish I had Hilda back before I finished grinding the Fire Training event. She's not fantastic, but is definitely the better of the two Fire type 5-Stars.

Grinding the Solgaleo event definitely paid off as I was able to unlock Lvl 120 immediately for both of them and Lvl 100 for Hilbert. Time to start grinding the new Ice event to give Pryce another boost.

To finish all this off. All of you should watch A Place Further Than The Universe. This song from the anime is what is kinda keeping me together for today.

To quote from a YouTube comment that's from the anime.
"I was just thinking... this is pretty fun!"
"Fun?"
"Yeah. It's like... motion!"
"I feel like my youth is in motion!"

I may be in my 20s but I think that's what getting me through this for today. Be back to the forums after.

Alright, finally making a fan discord because I think we have enough fans to justify it.

You know, thinking about the new stage that comes with Byleth, I'm sad that so few stages are legal. Like is there really no way to make some more of them work? No special rules or alternate modes? Nothing crazy like the Pokemon, Game and Watch, Wario or Ness levels. Like the sideways Captain Falcon level and Bridge of Eldin are some of my favourites.

Even if all stages had a mode where they're legal (and not just Omega/Battlefield forms), there would still be several banned either due to z axis bull****, distracting backgrounds, or music that would get copyright claims if streamed

Honestly there's a number of stages that would probably work in competitive play, a lot of competitive players and TOs are just incredibly picky for some bizarre reason.

Unfortunately I don't think either of those levels you listed would work really well though. The Bridge of Edlin for instance has problems where players can camp at the side of the stage and end stocks ridiculously early with ease. But other stages like hazards off Halberd, Castle Siege and Lylat Cruise can all be pretty fair stages that are still banned from most tournaments because of so called "jank".

No, the point of legal stages is to use stages that most accurately convey player skill without the stage interfering to the extent that specific gimmicks or randomness decide the victor using the standard 3-stock, timer ruleset. Besides, there does not exist a ruleset that will make many of these numerous illegal stages competitive to begin with. Big Blue has the road that kills characters with no hope of recovering and Bridge of Eldin is a walk-off meaning it will inevitably lead to cheesy camping and early percent kills.

In Ultimate, there's a far better variety than there was in past games, so even if you could justify some controversial stages aren't inherently "unfair" there's no reason to pick those stages simply because better more acceptable ones exist.

As someone's whose been subject to Lylat jank in multiple games it can stay banned lol

While Lylat has been a problem (or still is idk) I can't help but chuckle when I remember Tweek losing to ESAM because Tweek tried to grab that ****ing rat and people tried to put the blame on Lylat instead of Tweek who wouldn't have even gotten a kill if he landed the grab and still had a few wonderwings left

 

[Idon]

Lylat: is legal

ESAM:

 

[Aurane]

I got the legendary skin, Baje, for Roadhog! YES!

 

[MainJPW]

True. Call Sonic Team I guess.

Also, I thought people only hated the emerald hunting in SA2 where they borked the radar. I thought people liked its SA1 design.

I've seen people say Emerald Hunting would be fine if it were located at the end of a stage like a Egg Capsule or Goal Ring, and I agree with that. Emerald Hunting is just a generic game of hot and cold in all honesty. Knuckles should just have Sonic stages but with the added alternate routes, punching, gliding and climbing; you don't really need all these roulette styles since the 2D games did just fine without them.

But the best thing to come out of Knuckles' stages in SA2 is Pumpkin Hill Zone's music.

Don't get me wrong, I fully understand why those stages are banned. I thought of them because they don't have a lot of sudden chances or randomness but still some cool differences that are predictable and from what I know have fair blast zones.
I can probably better explain how I could see Bridge of Eldin altered. You could try to somehow nullify that camping, like having borders that you can't exit unless you get launched out, taking damage near there or having decreased launch distance depending on positioning. Not saying those would work but hypothetically if there was a good solution then that would make for an interesting stage pick that would buff some low to mid tiers, such as ones with poor or predictable recovery.
This is all just hypothetical out of the box thinking of course. I'm not saying it will work, just that it's an interesting thought.

TFW you need one more I-gift to open the Astral Plane but you can’t make any more during the main phase so you gotta hope your opponent doesn’t kill you next turn

The best thing to come out of SA2's Knuckles stages was just the music in general. They're all great.

TBH while I want to play RE:Mind, I'm so incredibly busy with other games and life in general that I just don't have time for it right now. Probably won't get to it until spring or summer at the earliest.

Which probably means I'll get spoiled, but boh well.

I can agree to that.

Speaking of SA2, having a remake of that game would be fantastic. I would certainly buy it.

Sonic’s 30th anniversary is coming up and a group of other cuddly mascots have proven just how financially successful you can be by remaking your early 3D games with bug fixes and quality of life updates. I think we could be in for a treat soon.

If the next gen brings us Sonic Adventure and Banjo-Kazooie remake collections... well, I would be super excited for the rest of this year.

Sweet, probably going to vote Chrom, Dimitri, and I don’t know who else.

Also how do you feel about the sort of Virion Alt and his new weapon? I promoted a normal one the other day but still need to figure a build out

As for the new "Virion," I couldn't care less about TMS so it basically doesn't amount to anything for me. As for the refine though? That I love.

 

[MilkCalf]

I want more good 3D Sonic games. I never got invested into the series because I didn't wanna play Colors and Generations and then just be disappointed with the rest. I hear Forces is pretty good for gameplay but uuuuh the story. And I wanna play Sonic games for Sonic.
