I mean. Yeah. That just means there Story has to be about something other than “how strong I need to be to beat the bad guy”. It’s the fundamental difference between Goku and Superman they talked about in those two episodes. I still like Hal, Green Lantern is one of my favorite comic characters of all time. They just break vs matches like these in two.

Not to mention in DB, only some Marvel characters have beaten some DC characters. That is how OP they are.

Edit: Please fix the double post.

Nice lol. I'd love to hear specs eventually.

Choice Specs

You heard of it, buy it for 48 Battle Points!

 

[staindgrey]

You know one potential DLC character I don't hear anyone talking about? A character from GameFreak's Town. With that being GameFreak's new IP, I could see them getting a character from that game in Smash as a way to get their new IP off the ground. Anyone else thought about that?

I'm gonna be honest. I completely forgot Town was a thing until you brought it up just now.

Yeah it's a huge flaw with DC, imo. Sometimes interesting stuff is written for their heroes, but not really that often for me at least.

Yeah, sometimes, making characters so overpowered can make them more or less boring, even if they don’t always win, huh?

After the "VR leak" I think we're gonna get a single Smash character reveal.

Reveal the new VR mode as a push of VR alongside other games likely getting similar treatment, then follow it up with a new Smash character specifically to hype us up.

Then announce the 3rd character sometime in August, like they did with K. Rool and Simon.

In before that one character reveal is Labo Man. Lol

It's a flaw of the comic book medium.

These stories stretch forever and jump from creative team to creative team, and each issue that's released on a monthly basis for years is supposed to be exciting enough to warrant a purchase. So each team is going to have their own take and there are bound to be conflicts with canon, poorly thought out and rushed plot points, ludicrous feats for the sake of being "super", etc.

In a "Death Battle" scenario, you pick and choose all of the hero's greatest accomplishments and treat them as peak potential, when really we should probably treat those outstanding moments as outliers and find more of a mean. Half the stuff they showed about Hal Jordan, I turned to my brother and said, "Yeah but" and then brought up a story where he did the exact opposite and sucked.

The best superhero comics are the short term spinoffs where the writer gets full control over the story and doesn't have to worry about ongoing canon.

Or Daredevil in general because he's always somehow been immune to over-serialization and only gets good writers.

I can understand why this kind of power turns some folks off, but it dosn't effect me in the slightest.

like i said before

town will be to gamefreak what codename: steam is to intsys

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I always find that line funniest in Gundam shows. Because, like... You're not getting "stronger". You're becoming a better pilot/upgrading your mobile suit. It somehow comes off as even worse of a trope when you can't actually get stronger.

I think they mean like, mentally or willpower or some **** but it's still super weird.

 

[staindgrey]

I know. And it's likely a case of the exact Japanese word not translating 1:1 to English.

Still sounds dumb when watching though.

optimistic, but sure

 

[Icedragonadam]

So 12 days left until Nintendo's E3! Potentially less if Smash gets it's own presentation again for DLC.

 

[Idon]

Daredevil's great. He's always a somewhat more personal and grounded vigilante as opposed to Batman who can now apparently operate a space station apparently.

It's helped him that he was never the A-lister of Marvel the way Batman is for DC. They progressively had to make Batman more and more absurd to justify him being on the same level as Superman.

Daredevil is just kind of doing his thing, and prominent writers like Bendis, Brubaker, Waid, etc. love the opportunity to work on Daredevil because of what Frank Miller's Daredevil run meant for the medium. Yet he's not immensely popular enough to try and rope into huge Avengers plotlines where he has to fight Thanos and ****.

 

[Z25]

Ngl this would be amazing. All the leakers would get btfo offed so hard and dlc would be truly unpredictable.

Plus labo man would be fun

 

[Lore]

Right? This is one reason why I enjoy One Punch Man. The main character is beyond invincible, but the story is more about how this fact saps his life of meaning. It's character exploration instead of just incredible feats.

Honestly, I really do think VR is the future of media. I have so much fun with my PSVR, and I'm getting a PC vr headset in the coming months.

It's truly incredible, and games are starting to really come out that show how old genres can be given new life in VR.

Absolutely, and it's one reason why I'm not the biggest fan of death battles. They kinda have to pick characters who are highly inconsistent in power levels.

Yeah, I meant sometimes. But it can be interesting, like if done in the way of OPM as you said, and perhaps other ways, too.

Yeah, Batman is inconstant in power levels and characterizations in his own comic series and cross-over series.

I love batman, I just wish he would take a more background role in terms of omega level threats like Darksied and most space/cosmic stuff. I always thought it was kind of weird that Batman is a public member of the Justice League anyway, seems to kind of conflict with his mysterious "creature of the night" persona that he uses to strike fear into criminals. I want Batman to interact with the rest of the D.C universe, but I guess I wish he would take a backseat a bit, he could be more like the Justice's Leagues spymaster rather than it's main strategist, leader, etc.

I was posting my moveset ideas in the last thread, so I thought I’d continue here! Here’s my new one:

 

[Kuon]

Kuon
Are you German, or Alaskan?

lol neither. Well, my family is German, but I'm from America

 

[Teeb147]

I was posting my moveset ideas in the last thread, so I thought I’d continue here! Here’s my new one:

Very cool. Dont mind if I share it in other threads, since there isnt much for her yet.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Ok. Guys. Real talk. Is there ANY way to unlock the other Fighter Spirits instead of just waiting for them to randomly show up in the shop?

 

[Kuon]

I'm gonna be honest. I completely forgot Town was a thing until you brought it up just now.

Yeah, like I said, I don't see anyone talking about it. Could be a possibility though

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Anxiety ****ing sucks.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Classic mode with the alternative costumes?

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Classic mode with the alternative costumes?

I thought I tried that and it didn’t work. I can try again but...

 

[Gentlepanda]

Classic mode with the alternative costumes?

classic mode only gives you the default costume (even for koopalings, iirc)

unfortunately, hanging about the shop is the only way

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

Nothing I can really do now, but I've never thought Suzaku Castle was a good representation of the Street Fighter series even though it's Ryu's stage and wish we would have gotten Battle Harbor (Ken's stage) instead.

When I think of the locations of Street Fighter, I think of well.... a street fight with a crowd gathered to watch and cheer on the fight. Suzaku Castle seems so lifeless and bland compared to most Street Fighter locations, no audience and it looks like it could fit in any random ninja game. Plus Battle Harbor is home to the most iconic bonus stages in gaming as a whole, the destructible car!

Just Imagine if the Smash stage had a car you could destroy! That seems a lot more fun than Suzaku's walkoff and random platforms.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Can we get to E3 already? I'm ready to be a gaymer.

The Drag Race fandom is exhausting me right now leading up to the finale and I need to be some type of other gay for a while.

 

[Captain Shwampy]

like i said before

town will be to gamefreak what codename: steam is to intsys

literally every ip that isnt pokemon will be to gamefreak what codename: steam is to intsys

 

[SnakeFighter64]

That. Blows.

Like, shop system is enough to dock the game a whole ****ing point.

That and you cannot use the Mii Fighters in classic mode.

 

[Deleted member]

Hang on you ****s, what's this about a leak and VR?

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

SSBUBot said there’s some sort of Smash Ultimate VR thingy.


This can only mean one thing. Labo VR Headset for Smash.

Huh, neat I guess. Wonder how that will work. It should be coming out before E3 based on the timeframe, but the fact that they're releasing an update so close to E3 makes me wonder whether a character will be revealed, idk.

the 3.1.0. notification also runs until june 17, meaning we're not getting an update before then (so no e3 shadow launch) - it'll be a week between reveal and launch at the very least

 

[Knight Dude]

Speaking of which, Aggretsuko season 2 releases on June 15th iirc and I cant wait.

If we're talking about Ben Diskin, never forget he voiced Venom in Spetacular Spider-Man and Mega Man in Mega Man 11.
