Did someone mention the Medabots? I liked the show and stuff when I was a kid. Is it still going?
I'm assuming Swamp Sensei Swamp Sensei is referring to a bit of news for "Girls' Mission".



There's a kind of a stripping mechanic in it.

And now I know why I haven't seen or heard anything about it in years.

''Oh my gosh. She shot Dark Pit!"
A part of me wishes this was in the actual game.

You do realize Tomb Raider Definite Edition is on PS4/Xbox One.

I gave my brother a copy of it for Christmas.

It cost at the least $15. GO GET IT
I need to play it at some point. I got it for free during the Games with Gold promotion so I might as well take advantage of it.

I'm currently watching one of I Hate Everything's videos, one in particular exploring worst fandoms. Not surprised by gaming being so low because of the usual consoles wars and PC vs. console fights. The problems with Sonic and My Little Pony is accurate, even though I like both. As for anime and FNAF, crickey, they aren't too far off about the problems with them. :4dk:

Sonic has everything from poorly written fan fiction to "donut steel" original characters and a crap ton of disturbing material on DeviantArt. I've found somebody new to follow since his cynical sense of humor and facts are good.

Well, to be fair, this is a recent thing. The series has been ongoing on Japan for years after it became no more in the West. Mainly because the games didn't do as well as the show did. And the show kinda went downhill by the last season too which is why you don't see it around in the west anymore.

I suppose it's probably now losing a bit of steam in Japan too....

Lmao.

Still, I can get the new Tomb Raider game for 15 bucks?


At this point, still no.

My PS4 is back at home and I don't think I can buy things online.
LMAO. Yes, you can

I saw this earlier and still trying to figure it out.
It looks like the hitbox for KO Punch is continuing after it should honestly.
The KO Punch hitbox will always keep going until the animation FULLY ends.

It can also stop rolls if possible

The series must not be doing any better in Japan now if the stripping thing is what they came to, in a series made for children no less.

His content honestly surprised me. I was excepting his videos to be about some sort of character who hates everything. But they were actually well thought out and really funny videos. Just goes to show that you don't judge a book by it's cover.

True, I suppose that might explain why they tried to promote and bring the series back a little to the West through the GBA VC titles in order to see if there was still an audience for it (At least in Europe that was the case, not sure if those games are in the American VC yet). I know there where some western fans campaigning to see the series return to the west. Not sure how well that went though.

What? Even when he's really back from the punch?
This game is so jank

Bro, Mac has so much more with that KO Punch especially with that insane Windbox. There's also at one point he can super armor his way through a Falcon/Warlock Punch with a forward Smash.

He would be the most jankiest character in the game but :4pacman: makes physics cry

Woah it's not like there are only few SMRPG fans left in the internet, there is still huge amount of them around the internet and you could also see the japaness SMRPG fans as well you are probably just looking in the smash sites only but there other sites that you could easily see huge amount of SMRPG fanbase out there.
Well... care to link to some?

I don't doubt SMRPG still has its fans, I'm one of them; it's my favourite SNES game, but I don't see it having popularity in excess of dozens of other fondly-remember Nintendo titles, even with its cult status.

Regardless, SMRPG's popularity doesn't matter, because SMRPG already has three playable characters in Smash: Mario, Bowser and Peach. It's Geno's popularity that matters in this context and his popularity, as I said, has long since peaked.

He wasn't big as in brawl days but he is still big and was able to stay the most requested Square-Enix character since brawl.
He still has fragments of popularity, but as one of the characters who resides in the middling tiers of demand it's not like all his other credentials are going to give him the edge, since popularity is really his only notable factor when it comes to Smash. Back around Brawl he was still the largely one-off supporting third-party character he remains, but at least he was in the top tier of popularity.

What I find interesting is that Geno, The Black Knight and Ashley all got Mii Costumes. All popular choices in the Brawl speculation days.

no isaac tho
he couldve been a good swordsguy
he couldve been a real contender

thanks sakrye

also ashley was still popular this time around until she got deconfirmed iirc
and to be fair geno probably still did fairly decently on the ballot

black knight tho
u got me on that one
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(my guess would be b/c fe stuff just always tends to be popular in smash and he's one of the more notable characters)

Well, just learned that Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends got even moar DLC. Now there's 8 characters ($2.99 each, 2 are free), 4 stages ($3.99 each), and 7 alts ($1.99 each), totaling $47.83 (that's more than it's $40 price tag (but I got it for $20)).

If I actually do consider buying the DLC (probably will skip the alts), it'll be a low, LOW priority for my eShop money (after Smash, Pokémon Gen 1 VC, and Wild Gunman/Hogan's Alley VC)

HAHA! The Han Solo minifigure in the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens game looks like an old Chase McCain (from LEGO City Undercover)

Yo.
I remember why I love my ThunderCougarFalconDorf.
People who play characters such as :4falcon::4charizard::4darkpit::4pit: and think that their Side B is a friggin unstoppable nightmare.

Lemme put it breifly.

Least he got a costume...
I'm not really sure that was a good thing

It, kind of looks more like the mii's skinned K Rool and are wearing it around

It kind of reminds me of Silence of the Lambs

The fans want to be K Rool so much, they make a skin suit out of him and wear it around, pretending to be him

While I'm talking about LEGO Star Wars games, I while back I played some The Complete Saga.

Boy, did that game age HORRIBLY (especially in the visual department).

Well, depending on who you are, the costume is either acknowledgement of fanbase efforts(notable as the only echo chamber promoted character to get one) or the spawn of Mephistopheles that "proves" that Sakurai either hates DK or hates K. Rool himself.

And hey, with how unfortunately flanderized the fanbase has become, it's not hard to understand why most see it as the latter.

I'm 100% sure it's the former

...But it still looks damn awful

I've always hated the "echo chamber character" thing.

The winner was ****ing Bayonetta. :4bayonetta:

I'm pretty sure more hardcore players voted than casual players because let's be perfectly honest, Bayonetta isn't casual or mainstream or even well known.

Those "echo chambers" are what actually won.

And I quite see it as the former as well, mind you. Just pointing out the fanbase's current line of thought since K. Rool was this supposed sacred cow alongside Wolf with very high chances of getting in.

Aaaaaaaaaand neither are in on the roster. The way I see it, a Mii is better than nothing.

See, Swampy.

Everyone withdraws into their own small gated community, afraid of a larger forum.
They stay inside their little ponds
, leaking whatever "truth" suits them into the growing cesspool of society at large.

Like the echo chambers care for one another. If it ain't theirs, not worth it. If it's not Wolf being suggested, not worth it. If it's not KKR, or Isaac, or some other perceived popular character, not worth it.

Tis the truth, if a highly cynical one.
