don't just say 'this is the internet LOL'

I didnt say "LOL", dont put words on my mouth

 

[asianaussie]

I do hope that's your only objection to my post.

I wouldn't want to put words in the mouth of someone poking fun at disaster zones.

 

[NixxxoN]

did you actually read the "mean" and "i hope they recover soon" parts?

FYI i love japan as a country, and perhaps you should complain to the flag creator not me

 

[asianaussie]

oh, i read them, doesn't excuse anything though

complaining to them will do about as much as crying to my computer screen, since i know for a fact americans are harping on about this being karma for pearl harbour, so im not surprised at things like this being made up insensitively

pisses me off as to how people can post or spread things like that when so many people are going to be affected by it, the cynical, ****ish world of the internet shows the worst part of mankind

 

[NixxxoN]

karma for pearl harbour? wow.....

i remember someone posted a "hold F11 button" joke @ haiti earthquake aswell...

 

[DMoogle]

Yea i know, its so mean, but this is internet

And this is SWF, where meanness is neither sanctioned nor tolerated.

 

[asianaussie]

To clarify, I'm not really mad at Nixxxon, just mad at the internet in general for facilitating such bs.

Changing topic to something more cheerful, yesterday I saw an epic soul eater amv.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw8pcxE6U9k&feature=feedf <--- Full of win.

 

[asianaussie]

all AMVs are bad and should not exist

soul eater is cool though

 

[Dragoon Fighter]

all AMVs are bad and should not exist

Well... I sort of disagree. 99.99% of all AMVs are bad, but there are good AMVs though rare as they are.

soul eater is cool though

Indeed. It is in my top ten favorite cartoons.

 

[Surri-Sama]

odd looking anime

1:12 I definitely seen that guy before...kubutox or something comes to mind

I agree that it's terrible, but IDK about blaming the internet in general.

It's NixxxoN. He's (thankfully) not a good representation of the average internet user.

lolololol Excalibur

he makes Soul Eater a good series

 

[Dragoon Fighter]

he makes Soul Eater a good series

...No. uhg, the Excalibur episodes are painful. With the exception of his first episode I skipped the second one thank god he only had like two that revolved around him.

Hate the name just want to break him.

 

[asianaussie]

dunno about the anime, but excalibur made the manga stand out from other titles

after the first few manga arcs, soul eater dragged onnnn and onnnn and onnnn and was good, but not great

then in the book of eibon arc, excalibur appeared in the wrath and pride stages and i actually fell off my chair laughing

made my year

 

[ciaza]

Soul Eater has unique art but I didn't get hooked on the plot. Excalibur was definitely one of the best parts of the anime though.

 

[Thino]

this page of the manga cracks me up every single time because his appearance right there was fitting the context SO MUCH

 

[Surri-Sama]

lolololol Excalibur

he makes Soul Eater a good series

I've seen him as someones avatar on SWF, the guys name was kabutox or something of the sort...i think? O_o

 

[asianaussie]

@thino that's exactly the page which made me literally rofl

didn't we have this discussion before

 

[Warnipple]

Hi I'm a Falcon player with trouble playing against Mario, Link and Fox.

Can someone give me some tips against these characters?

I dont know if this topic is right for this question.

 

[asianaussie]

I'm guessing you're a casual player. Use more B-Air (jump in the air, stick in the direction facing away from Falcon, press A), it's really big. Stay on a different level to those characters to avoid their projectiles. Use U-Air (jump in the air, stick upwards, press A) from below and try and chain it (do it multiple times), followed by an upwards B attack.

Better advice:

Vs Link, pick Dreamland and approach on a different level to him, dodging U-Air or D-Air. Combo him, any combo will do so long as he ends off the stage. If you don't know the Falcon combos find a video of Isai or SuPeRbOoM using Falcon on Youtube and go from there.

Vs Fox, you have to capitalise on any combo starter you can get (F-Throw/U-Smash/U-Air/D-Air). Work your game into one of those combo starters. Make sure Fox doesn't recover if he goes off (Use D-Air, B-Air or F-Smash, D-Tilt).

Vs Mario....eh, combo him, use aerials to beat his fireballs, be careful of his upwards hits and use lots of B-Air in spacing. I'm not big on ____ vs Mario.

 

[Thino]

@thino that's exactly the page which made me literally rofl

yea I think we actually talked about it when the chapter was released

 

[Sangoku]

Surri-sama: yes this is the avatar of Fays/Kabutox, a European top player. I've always been wondering what his avatar was btw lol.

 

[NixxxoN]

I agree that it's terrible, but IDK about blaming the internet in general.

Yeah and I always wanted to be like The Star King, an ideal internet user, millions of internet kids follow his role model. All hail The Star King!

Vs Mario I have problems getting back to the edge. My opponent is a really good ledge hog/edge hog.

I also seem to land in his tornados fairly frequently and I get tackled by him alot.

His D-Smash is annoying too since its AoE around him


Also he grabs me alot and throws me off the stage so he can edge hog.

 

[asianaussie]

Learn to combo more. U-Smash > U-Air x whatever > Up-B is a basic one that words on Mario.

Do a small jump and D-Air when he recovers, chances are you'll kill him as he hits you for 1 damage.

Don't just blindly rush in, wait until he does something and then act.

Wait, what the ****?

Has ANYONE said ANYTHING about it being karma for pearl harbor? No taking one random example from. I want you to show that there's an actual substantive trend of that happening or retract it. Not even Glenn Beck or his type would say that.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki, bro. We make our own karma. That score was settled a LONG time ago.

Completely serious, though, America and Japan are, like, supercool. All the people I've met so far (even the ****wads) have been like "Jesus, so scary, this is ****ed up, what a tragedy, feel sorry for the people, hope it doesn't all go to hell, etc. etc. etc." We don't even have beef with Japan.

And yeah, I didn't see it, but completely uncool if you were making fun of Japan's recent tragic troubles, Nix.

Glenn Beck is followed by a lot of Americans. I'm happy you recognise he's an idiot though, my opinion of you went up a bit.

Don't worry too much, lots of Australians are saying this is karma for hunting whales, I think they're all equally detestable people.

 

[Battlecow]

Okay, fifty-odd people, half of whom were joking in poor taste. Is that the best you got? I could find more holocaust-deniers in Israel.

 

[asianaussie]

I hardly said it was representative of Americans, I merely specified there were Americans claiming such things.

You can't possibly expect your country's patriots are all like you.

And no, you couldn't find more holocaust deniers unless there was an Oktoberfest or something.

 

[The Star King]

I hardly said it was representative of Americans, I merely specified there were Americans claiming such things.

So what you want is literally zero people saying this? Of course there are going to be people that say this. It's a very small percentage.

 

[asianaussie]

I don't really understand your post, Star King. I'm the one saying the internet is stupid and that we can't do anything about it.

I used that example to illustrate the insensitivity of the internet. I implied no representation at all, and if you think I'm pointing at you as one who said that, you're being oversensitive.

Some Australians claim it's karma for whales.
Some Chinese claim it's karma for the Nanjing massacre.
I'm sure some people claim it's karma for not releasing the Professor Layton v Phoenix Wright game outside Japan.

The point is, I'm not bashing Americans, I merely used that example to illustrate how dumb the internet can be.

 

[The Star King]

Ok, but you were blaming "the internet" and "mankind" in general, when it's just a small portion of either of those. That's what I didn't like.

I didn't think you were pointing at me. But I still don't like you blaming the internet in general over something that only a small minority believes.

 

[asianaussie]

The issue here is the publication and spread of that particular 'flag'. The internet is an easy channel for the idiots of mankind to show their insensitive idiocy.

You've misinterpreted my use of the word. I'm using the word 'internet' as an environment, not a community, and haven't said anything about the community itself, which is mostly comprised of regular people, as mortified and sympathetic as you or I. I might be wrong in saying the internet itself is responsible for the creation of that particular image, but I maintain that it's the reason it can be published and spread in the first place, which comes from the internet's base attributes.

Don't just take the word 'mankind' from my post and use it without its context. I've said nothing about mankind in general being responsible for things like this. In fact, I specifically pointed out that this is the worst part of mankind, and I'm not sure how you can deny that.

Ok, so you were blaming the internet as a medium for spreading people's stupidity, rather than the internet community overall. You're right, I misinterpreted it. My bad.

Fair enough.
