I think it's about time us Jack Frost supporters UNITE.

raises my hand waiting for another supporter for 5 solid minutes before covering my face as i sob


I'd tie Chocobo and Moogle for the mascot option.

I do like the idea of a Chocobo/Moogle team. But you know, Ice Climbers being gone and all... then again, Duck Hunt... could go either way.

I'm fine with Cloud, but that'd be a neat second choice. Same with Slime from Dragon Quest, who is the most recognizable of DQ characters. Most of the protagonists rotate too much to easily choose one. They're not on the same level as Cloud, after all.

Who needs Yu or Jack Frost when you can have this guy?

I love P3 but Jack should be in over Minato by far. I'd say Yu should be in over Minato even.
Jack is the definite choice for an SMT rep..though you were likely joking I'm so sorry

No problem-o, Lady Anna.
They're here for you.
I'm here for you.
Don't ever forget your friends.

Listen...
I didn't say much initially because I'm normally more of a detriment than a help when things get "too real."
But you know that you're stronger than your past. You wouldn't be here otherwise.
You just gotta believe in the Ryugie that lasted this far in.

Just don't forget to change your title/location.

I'm sure you don't want to be a liar



Also keeping up the calm/pretty music because you can never have enough and we didn't hit the limit. Which is meant to be broken

 

[Aetheri]

It's just that I've been through way too much.

Spoiler

I lost my father at the age of 4 due to suicide, my mother was tricked into moving to the Netherlands by a boyfriend at the time, who then mentally, physically and financially abused us. For instance, my sister was locked in her room without food, drink or even a toilet for a whole day. They told me the lamp in my room could fall and kill me at any time, and said stuff like 'Those plates you had dinner on? Enjoy your salmonella' and made a total of 7000 euros debt on my mother's name, while beating her to the point of near deafness. After that, we fled, we then had to live in a caravan, which had black mold, making me sick every day and extremely prone to anger issues. My school at the time temporarily sent me to a clinic in which I couldn't see my mother, the plan was 6 months as a trial, but I couldn't cope. Being tackled mercilessly when wanting fresh air because they think I want to escape, being denied food because I ate a sandwich with my hands instead of a knife and fork and being forced to sleep in a terrible bed with a spring coil coming out. Since then, I managed to find a job, but because I work so much due to me feeling responsible for my family, I get overexhausted and stressed, especially at high school, in which they forced me to spend 70 euros on a book a teacher said I'd never need, and another 70 euro book not giving me any information that's in mandatory tests. One of the teachers discriminated me for some reason so I couldn't advance in a certain subject, and a teacher made me miss exams by telling me to wait in a study room and he never picked me up. Although I'm no longer suicidal, I still have problems. We still have to pay off the last bit of that 7000 euro debt, I missed a gender therapy appointment recently forcing me to wait 2 months for the next session and I still live in fear every day because I fear I'll be discriminated once I come out, especially by my relatives on my mother's side, I have absolutely zero contact with them for multiple reasons, including a language barrier

I just don't know now to cope in life

That's rough....sorry you had to go through all that...

But just remember...no one here believes that title under name right now...

I want to see the same Anna that was having so much fun playing as Corrin last week...the same one that's always seems so carefree around here...Because it sucks to see you in such a downer...

Spoiler

I swear I'm way too slow for this thread...

 

[NintenZ]

Real talk: Jack Frost is my prefered SMT character, he's such an iconic mascot and even had a Virtual Boy game, how many SMT protagonists can you say that for?

Yeah, if it's going to be anyone, it'd probably be him.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Everyone...Thanks...This means a lot to me

Here's an epic video to cheer you up. About halfway in, it gets really good.

I am aware this isn't much context and mostly a media-only post. And if I get warned for it, I don't care. You deserve this, Anna.

 

[NintenZ]

Everyone...Thanks...This means a lot to me

*Hugs*
We love you as friends, and all we want is for you to be happy and safe.

I'm going to try to sleep now. I'm not gonna lie, I'm really touched by everyone's responses

I think I noticed a small typo in the latest Famitsu translation, just a heads up in case you want to inform the translators of this article.

-------

Corrin's counter seems to have weird interactions with some moves, but I'm a Rosalina main, even lighter than Kirby now, and despite using very powerful moves on the counter even at mid-percents, I survive just fine.

Maybe the knockback scaling is wonky on some moves.

Smash for is the term Sakurai uses (and is most common in Japanese). It's the shortened version of Smash for 3DS/ Wii U (Which is short for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U). Smash 4 actually doesn't make sense sense Wii U is actually Smash 5. At one point we were using Sm4sh (which doesnt make sense, not sure why we used it ), or Smash for (Which I'm 100% behind) but then we switched over to just referencing it as Smash for 3DS/ Wii U because people don't like Smash for.

TL;DR: I'll update it!

 

[Bananija]

Cutie Gwen , I may be late for the support message, but I still wish you the best. You're a great person. I don't know really know how to help you more since everyone already did a great, so I will link these two silly JoJo videos.

On those words, good night!

Hm...

Spoiler

A door you say?

Who wouldn't main subspace door? He'd be OP! but...

I think I know the perfect counterpick for him

Spoiler

seriously though, I know he's disney, but I still want him, He's like cloud in a way. People see him as a meme of sorts, but he actually makes a lot of sense as a character choice with how big KH is.

Nah.

Tell me you would not want a battle between the two, using just keys?

Because this pic made me want to see it now...

It could be really funny and epic at the same time.

 

[Aetheri]

btw guys...

Forgot Final Fantasy Explorers is out now...anyone played it yet and what are your (spoiler-free) thoughts on the game?...Yay? Nay?

Been thinking about buying a new game for my 3DS (could just wait for Fates, but Explorers does also look fun as well)

Well, a delay is a good thing. I'm absolutely worried about this movie, but I hope for the best.

 

[Icedragonadam]

Not sure if this has been discussed but Corrin has an inifnite grab against ZSS

Well, a delay is a good thing. I'm absolutely worried about this movie, but I hope for the best.

It'll probably be a rehash of every non human chaacter adaptation.

Anthropomorphic character lands on earth and focus shifts on human guy trying to get a woman he has a crush on to love her with supposed main character helping him.

From what I've seen; it's very much the kind of style of Monster Hunter taken more closely to the kind of speed and style as the co-op missions in 358/2 days.
That's kinda the best I can say. It's a very much so hit or miss type of gameplay that seems "toned back" for more efficiency and that FF kinda skin.

I do have some hope that the film won't fall into that. One of the writers for the movie said they were aiming for a PG-13 rating, so it probably won't fall into The Smurfs territory.

God I want nothing more than to give you a giant hug. We all mean everything we say. Stay tough, little Merchant.

It's basically "Monster Hunter lite".

Game has more or less the same general gameplay, but dumbed down, and peppered with it's own FF flavor.

That being said, like MH, the game shines more in multiplayer and unless you have people to play with, the game will feel like a chore after a certain point.

 

[Fenriraga]

Final Fantasy Explorers is actually really fun. Beat it the other day.

It certainly isn't as deep or complex as Monster Hunter, and it has issues (WHY CAN I NOT JUMP DOWN THIS TWO FOOT CLIFF SERIOUSLY WHY IS THIS HERE) but it is REALLY fast paced and fun.

 

[Chrono.]

Speaking of MH.

Any word on a localization for MHX? Looking up the mechanics for that game and a lot of it changes or revamps old MH staples that annoyed the hell out of me.

I just get hyped thinking about it

 

[CrusherMania1592]

I had a friend who went to college for massage therapy.

She didn't like giving guys massages because something they...enjoy it too much

I can understand the sexual tensions from a woman touching their bodies. To me, I don't really care if it's a man or woman as long as their hands are magnificent enough to do the work and make us satisfied.

Unfortunately, not yet. I've been keeping an eye on it myself since I've liked what I've seen of the improvements and the return of my favorites like Lagi and Amatsu, but they've been very quiet about it since it's Japanese release.

Hopefully we'll hear their plans for localization sooner rather then later, because I'd love to play it.

For shame...

I've TRIED monster hunter but I kind of got bored before too long

I wouldn't be surprised. Monster Hunter-type games are a love-it/hate-it type of game. I mean, I love Monster Hunter. I liked Phantasy Star Portable 2, but I eventually stopped due to the Diablo-styled Point-A to Point-B missions and the fact that the damage became unpredictable on Higher-rank missions. I would've liked to have gotten PSP2 Infinity cause I heard it fixed alot of PSP2's issues, like magic casting and especially partners, but that never got released to stateside.
But really, because Monster Hunter-types do rely on multiplayer quite a bit to get the good experiences and the fact that they also involve grinding, they are a type of game where you either love-it or hate-it. And I can also say without doubt that they are not the kind of gameplay where you go "If you played one, you've played them all." Even if they follow the same basic idea of doing missions and killing bosses for great items, they all have their own flavoring. As a person who's played quite a bit of them, they all feel rather different and really goes to show on how you can easily like one of them and not like another despite being the same general idea.

Spoiler

That being said, I still really love Monster Hunter. And one of the things that I really like about it is that nothing is truly impossible to get and that it doesn't take days. Even with some of the more harder to get materials, I always found that if I focused on getting the pieces that I need, I would eventually get the pieces needed within a few hours. Which is what I dislike about most MMOs, is that even when you put your mind to it, it tends to usually take days and even months to get something you want. Not to mention that it is actually very easy to get gold needed to buy the armors and weapons and stuff, even when they start becoming pricey as heck to upgrade.
Plus I like the battles. They are rarely cheap(and when they are, it's usually because a monster either ends up using the same move more than twice in a row or because your invulnerability ends at the wrong time.) and take quite alot of skill to beat at higher levels, while relying on very little luck. It's one of those games where you definitely need to hone your skills and dodging timing to get the best out of defeating a monster. I also like the armor and weapon designs, as well as the monsters. And I also really like the Felynes(mostly since I'm a Crazy cat person).
But really, I like Monster Hunter to the point that I would like to see a Monster Hunter rep for Smash. It's rather funny considering when my Mom was interested in it because of the Tri commercial, I wasn't interested in it at all, even if I did like the commercials. Than when she had me play to check it out and stuff, it was not until I was playing it for a while that I ended up falling in love with the gameplay. It really goes to show that playing a game is a whole different experience compared to simply watching it.

I really don't want to be alone on Valentine's Day.

Dunno who I'd ask out though.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Lupe Fiasco vs Daigo is happening next Monday lol XD

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I work on Valentine's day.

But even if I wanted to do something AFTER work, I don't really think there is anyone to ask.

One girl I hung out with last year, up to November even. But, I haven't really seen her lately. I don't really think she was too into hanging out due to not getting a message from her in a while

Maybe another girl I seem to be attracted to, but I really don't think is available

No one else unless I somehow meet a new girl in 5 days
