Still can't believe it is happening though. The global pandemic.

Who knows as well depending on worse it gets. Might be a good kick up the ass for humanity and lead us all to a promised future!..........................

Funny speaking actually. A part of me wonders if this is a way of mother nature trying to get countries to get together and lead to an more peaceful future? From what I hear this whole thing has lead to China and Japan being on closer terms.

Nah I'm thinking too much into this...

Today's update for the Fantastic Four DLC Pack.

He looks alright in this suit.
I'm guessing the alts for the Fantastic Four are going to be the Future Foundation outfits, though I'm not overly familiar with the FF, so maybe there are better choices.



(though I'm assuming Spider-Man won't get one; he just happened to be in the first picture that I could find with the Human Torch)

If you want to go down that path, I think a major reformation of everything we do is needed to achieve that. Maybe it's cause my ideal future is a sort of eco future, no nations and borders, no religion, common sense in people etc sort of thing,

That's because in the Future Foundation comics Spider-Man takes the place of the Human Torch on the team since Torch dies and gives him his role in the team before doing so.

There has actually never been a Future Foundation suit for the Human Torch until recently the game Future Fight gave him one.

Oh, okay. I remembered the outfit in that picture being an alternate costume for Johnny Storm in the Facebook game Marvel Avengers Alliance, though I can't remember where it came from.

It comes from a mini arc of the Future Foundation comics where Johnny has some sort of resurrection.

I still need to check those comics doh.

I don't think religion is necessarily a bad thing or humans can ever completely abandon it. I'm all for getting rid of institutionalizing it, though.

I like the idea of religion when it is a way of explaining things, kinda like fables or parables. More spirits type thing than stuff like God is where I'm ok with, folklore or something like Yokai.
I just hate like people using their belief in God as a way of saying they can do whatever they want like massacring natives historically and presently rejecting science.
Pretty much I agree with stopping institutionalising though.

I disowned a parent over his religious beliefs were too strong against certain groups so that's why I feel strongly against religion and where I live.

So I think I'll buy the challenger pack. Only uncertainty I have is about Hero and Banzo. I don't have nostalgia for either, I know they aren't particularly good and I'm not interested in gambling with Hero's down B. Thoughts?

You should still buy the whole Pass anyways.

All the characters come with a great amount of music, awesome stages and a lot of fun Spirit battles.

Even if you dislike one character the whole deal overall is worth the 25€.

You never know if you like a character until you play as them. I loathed Dark Samus's inclusion, but here I am, with over 1,500 matches as her. I didn't think much of Hero prior to his release, but I main him now. You might as well buy them, you might be suprised.

Need some advice.
I’m buying a Toon Link amiibo, but I’m only able to get a Smash 4 one due to some weird thing happening with the GameStop closings in my area. Anyways, does a Smash 4 amiibo still work on Ultimate? I’m pretty sure it does but I’d like to be sure.
They never made Ultimate versions of the Amiibo that were already available as far as I am aware. They only made Ultimate Amiibo for characters that didn't show up in 4, like Snake, Pichu, Wolf, and the newcomers.

But even then, the Smash 4 amiibo work completely fine with Ultimate nonetheless.

So they can buy the Toon Link amiibo for It.

Yeah, I thought that was implied. Amiibo for Smash can be used on all 3 of the latest versions of Smash and even other amiibo like the Kirby, Zelda, and Mario lines can be used for their specific characters in Ultimate.

I second this. I didn't care at all for Hero or Dragon Quest when he was revealed, but after watching Sakurai's presentation and playing him myself he became one of my favorites in the game, and got me into the Dragon Quest series which I now consider myself a huge fan of.

I didn't have nostalgia for Banjo and Kazooie, but I still liked the characters and was excited for their inclusion. When they released, they clicked with me so well that they're now my most played and best character in the game. Not to mention their inclusion made me finally get around to playing their games, which I now also consider myself a huge fan of.

So basically, I don't think not having nostalgia should be a factor in whether or not to play a character. If they look interesting to you, I'd say give 'em a go. Even if you're not sure, I'd still say it's worth a shot to try. You never know, you just might find a new main (and a new favorite series).

You know what's always confused me? Why is every big corporation that has monopolies behind stuff use the label "family company"?

Is my opinion of it supposed to be higher just because it's a family company? :nifty:

I'm honestly pretty tempted to time travel in Animal Crossing just to finally get hourly music back. I originally didn't want to do that, but at that point I also didn't know the game has a week long tutorial and locks away said music until afterwards. Hearing the same generic guitar strums all the time is getting very grating after a while.

I love the game, but I really question some of the decisions made.

Yeah but I specifically implied I didn't think much of their kit. I'm the kinda girl to value both kit and character equally. Which is why my favourites are Sonic, Ridley, Byleth and Inkling.

Get it. More stages, more music and more characters. More the merrier.

Marketing almost always addresses emotions rather than logic since they are easier to manipulate. "Family" is a term with emotional weight in it.

It's a basic appeal to primitive feelings, it doesn't need to make sense.

Do you guys ever have characters you respect and know you could do well with but you just don't like them enough as characters to ever wanna touch them? For me that's the space animals. Haven't played Star Fox, don't like the look of their full animal look in clothes clearly not designed for them, and they are like the epitomy of try hard in this game.

Don't worry, Mr. Enderman. I'll play you your money.

I was worried about Command Menu but it's got a significantly better feel than it looks, especially during FFAs when I just piss everyone off by running towards projectile spammers with Bounce up, constantly Psyched Up, throwing out a few Kabooms here and there, taking up the entire ****ing screen with Magic Burst or Kamikazee or even ****ing around with Hocus Pocus, it's quite exhilerating to just topdeck too

Can't say I do. For me it's either I love the character but have trouble adjusting to their playstyle or I like how a character plays but just don't particular care for them. Luckily there are still enough characters for me that I like and their style.

and Inkling.
This just reminded of something that's been on my mind. It's rant time!

I am not a fan of Inkling. I'm really not. And I don't mean the character, either. I love love LOVE Splatoon, it might be my favorite Nintendo franchise ever. But that's exactly why I feel so strongly towards Inkling in Smash. I feel they weren't represented in a way that I feel does the series enough justice.

Their playstyle is the core of my issues. Inkling is a rushdown type character, correct? I feel like their playstyle is similar to Mario, except way harder to play with, for reward that can be obtained easier from other characters like, well, Mario. Mario has simple and basic combos that are not only easy to execute, but are really effective. Inkling's moves don't string together nearly as easily, and as a result they feel like a character who requires way more brain power to use for average reward.

I'm also not a fan of the moves themselves. A lot of them feel like wet noodles when they hit, which I guess makes sense considering their skinny limbs and paint based attacks. However, this feels inaccurate to Splatoon, in which every attack feels ridiculously strong (and a lot of them are). Their aerials feel awkward to use, especially since back air of all moves is their best one, which means you constantly have to turn yourself around to land a hit. Forward air just takes to long to come out making it less reliable than back air.

I also don't like a lot of their weapon attacks. Neutral B is a joke of a move and extremely situational, which is made even more pointless because Jab is basically the same thing but way more useful, and Slosher as down smash feels weak and doesn't have very good range (pretty much the opposite of what a Slosher is like in Splatoon). Blaster Up smash and Roller side B are fine, no issues there.

I would also talk about other things I'm not a fan of with Inkling's representation on the whole, but for now I'll leave it at their moveset, as this post is already quite long. On the whole, I'm just disappointed that my most anticipated character ended up as one of the least fun newcomers for me to play as, which is unfortunate as I was hoping Inkling would be my main.

On that matter, I never expected to actually like Joker. Normally those fast, combo centric characters (like Fox and Shiek) don't really click with me, but Joker is actually fun to use. I actually care about trying to win when using him because he's fun, unlike those other examples where I just go "whatever" and don't even really try at all, to the point of occasionally not even bothering to remember their movesets.

Still don't like how the Persona mechanic was implemented though.

Sorry for the long post, I just can't help it sometimes. When I feel strongly about something, I usually have a lot to say about it. I also just have a habit of making long posts in general. I hope you don't mind too much!

So I'm playing Yakuza 3 right now, I can definitely tell what people told me about this game is accurate, it does feel like the Roxasd section of KH2 but stretched out

Funny speaking actually. A part of me wonders if this is a way of mother nature trying to get countries to get together and lead to an more peaceful future? From what I hear this whole thing has lead to China and Japan being on closer terms.

Makes sense to me, even familly members who tend to fight each other over politics are putting aside differences to keep each other safe. Silver lining to everything I guess

no religion.
Religion is perfectly fine, the problem is the dumb jerks who ignore common sense and even what their own religion says and try and force their beliefs down others’ throats and harass them, which isn’t much different than people in gaming communities such as this one forcing their opinions on others and hating people for liking certain characters (though it’s not as extreme as hating people over moral belief stuffs of course, but still stupid). There’s bad eggs in every group imaginable because some people suck, and the historical massacres and forcing of religion or forcing people to not have religion also fall under this; bunch of evil hypocrites and then jerks generalize everyone when they may as well generalize the entire dang human race then.
