anyway time to copy/paste my longer-form thoughts on BD2 from discord

had a fun time with it, game is still super rough in places and clearly 8-10 months away from launch but provided they're as proactive with taking the survey feedback as they were with octopath it should all turn out fine

i do think it's a mistake to call it a 'demo', though -- it's definitely more akin to a technical beta test than anything else, and people going in to be sold on an accurate representation of the final product are likely going to just go away a little confused and frustrated: bugs and weird technical stuff aside, as it stands it's intentionally tuned up to the game's highest difficulty purely to encourage people to playtest powerful job builds for balance/bug-testing reasons (rather than just steamrolling through it and providing no useful data)

my concern is that a lot of people will go in, see the technical issues and borderline absurd difficulty, and just think "wow this game feels unfinished and is hard as balls, never mind then", and that'd be a big shame

Did you see my post earlier? I’m super interested in the Arms fighter. Honestly I’m super extra positive today!

As for Waluigi. He’s a meme. Like Goku. Plain and simple. And I think very few people would actually place him on their most wanted lists seriously and unironically.


Hey. Some people always want the meme picks seriously. I’m the one who earnestly wants Goku, after all.

Also, a world where Noipoi doesn’t exist is a world worse off.

Oh. Yeah, lol.
There are plenty of people who legitimately want Goku too. Just because a character is "a meme" doesn't make the people that want them less valid. Sans is in this ****ing game.

Snake, I like you, I do, but you come up with most bs hot takes I've ever seen. I don't want Heihachi or Tekken in Smash but you don't see me talking smack about them. Come on girl.

Now let’s not gang up like we tend to do sometimes, I think the point’s been made.
Yeah, I honestly agree Noipoi.

I was thinking about capping off Fantastic Four day with a Fantastic Four joke video, but I can't think of anything else besides the wooden gun video which I already shared twice in the past here.

Yo, this is far below dissapointing, this is amazing
interestingly, seth's special move theme is in the game files despite not being used in the demo


the other three are also in there, albeit as very unfinished midi drafts

kind of an interesting look at how revo puts them together behind the scenes

Ok, instead of capping off Fantastic Four day with a funny video, I will instead share a video featuring the best moments of Doctor Doom in the 90s Fantastic Four/Hulk cartoon to finish off in an epic way:

Stop, I can only get so excited
dont stop
Watch "Grave of the Fireflies." It's a very happy movie where nothing sad happens.
Dont do them like that

And for the record: Waluigi is one of my most wanted characters, simply because I LIKE THE CHARACTER.
Waluigi is my second most wanted character behind Pauline for the same reasons.

I kinda relate with his whole underdog or left-behind theme he has since I spent most of my childhood at the shadows of my cousins too.

Snake, buddy.

It‘s a film series. Don’t think too hard about it.
I will when real people stop following it like a real religion.

The point is ya talkin ****. Plenty of people like Waluigi for reasons other than memes, you’re speaking too objectively about a subjective subject.
Okay. Fair enough.

Fine. You've made your point. I'm sorry.

I just like him because he's weird and likes purple.

But no, he's just a meme and that's all he is, it's not like he was popular enough to get an amiibo or be in both major Smash fangames or have dozens of threads asking why he's not in MK7 or anything, right?

Yeah, ARMS is cool and all

but CTR Nitro Fueled added a checkpoint crate as a playable character.

I wish my first exposure to the idea of him in Smash wasn't as a meme and in the time when Banjo wasn't in. That was just the perfect way to get me to dislike a character

I remember when Ponyo was on Netflix. I wanted to watch it with my siblings, but instead we watched Veggietales Jonah.

That movie was still a BANGER (the creators went HARD in the whale scene), but I had to watch Ponyo by myself.

That year was magical.

Weird how I just changed my profile picture to this earlier today and now we're talking about Ghibli films:
It's obviously inspired by "My Neighbor Totoro", but with Moze and her Iron Bear mech from Borderlands 3. Crazy how nature do dat...

I thought Studio Ghibli was just a natural part of people's childhoods that everu child has seen at one point.

So needless to say, look 'em up and give 'em a try.

Also, tomorrow is gonna be the end of SU so that'll be emotional.

Banjo literally has nothing to do with this

Just... no. I don't have the energy to do this right now.
I think she means that because the character she was pulling for at the time wasn’t in yet, she was generally bitter about the whole thing.

Or something :drshrug:


Fun fact, Ponyo was on Netflix in NA at one point.

That's how I watched it.
I know, that’s when I first saw it. That’s a very nostalgic time for me.

At the time I was like "people want a c-string Mario character over Banjo!?!" like that was rational for some reason. I now realize it's not, but the dislike of the character from when I thought like that kind of carried over, even though I know the original thought was ridiculous. And again, I apologize for the way I spoke.
