You do know what "literally" means, right?If we don't get news this week, I will literally explode.
So you will become aIf we don't get news this week, I will literally explode.
They're both cringe-worthy, but if I had to decide between the two, I'd pick X4 solely because X sounds like a girl and Zero's infamous "WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOOOAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH????!!!!!!" line.So which VA is worse, X4 or X7?
Eeeh yeah, I know, it was just a joke.You do know what "literally" means, right?
Personally I'll be fine if no news happens.
X7 has Flame Hyenard.

Why it the Lotad line with the birds?Pokemon Tree of Life:
I believe they are ducks.Why it the Lotad line with the birds?
The ghosts are consumed by darkness.I have a question about Pokemon.
Why is Dark super effective against Ghost?
Ghosts live in the dark, so Dark types are in "control" of Ghosts.I have a question about Pokemon.

I saw a really good explanation about it somewhere, but I'll do my best to paraphrase.I have a question about Pokemon.
Why is Dark super effective against Ghost?
Dark is "Evil" type in Japan.I have a question about Pokemon.
Why is Dark super effective against Ghost?
Customer service in (especially) America has become more about making the customer feel special then actually give them proper service. I don't like the attitude of a lot of customers either. I worked in fast food in high school/ college and some people are mean. 80% of the customers were okay, but the 20% that were awful stick out in your mind. Customers feel like they deserve special treatment which is a dangerous mindset. It's even seen in the Smash fan base with people saying that characters "deserve to get in" or if the character doesn't get in then it's because of "Sakurai bias" or some other factitious statement. Customers in my mind--deserve respect, but unnecessary pandering isn't healthy.I am terrible at customer service.
I can't take people's crap with a smile
It's sad that's what customer service is about IMO. Dealing with horrible angry people.
Well, you gotta understand, those customers are the source of your income.Customer service in (especially) America has become more about making the customer feel special then actually give them proper service.

When I tried making sense of why Fighting beats Dark the most logical conclusion I was able to make was "a skilled fighter can overcome darkness".It's like how Fighting beats Dark: Fighting is the honorable type among them.
I suppose my biggest question with this is why Cottonee and Whimsicott are considered rodents.Pokemon Tree of Life:
Since the Lotad lines areWhy it the Lotad line with the birds?
Aren't they kappa? I always thought of kappa as more like turtle goblins or somethingI believe they are ducks.
Presence of a bill, most likely.Why it the Lotad line with the birds?
Whimsicott is totally a ram. An ungulateI suppose my biggest question with this is why Cottonee and Whimsicott are considered rodents.![]()
That's true. A balance must be figured out. We were actually discussing this topic a bit last night in the Source Gaming site meeting.Well, you gotta understand, those customers are the source of your income.
Don't let a customer walk all over you but don't overstep your boundaries when dealing with them
Dragons are reptilian.Literally the only one I can't figure out is why Ice beats Dragon.
Maybe Ice beating Dragon has to do with the old Chinese mythology. Since you need to swim up the waterfall, if you freeze the water then you can't become a dragon.For the record, here's my take on why everything beats everything.
Fighting beats Normal because they have mastered martial arts, more so than "normal" things.
Fighting beats Rock because of the whole "chop a boulder in half" strength image.
Fighting beats Steel for the same reasons as Rock.
Fighting beats Ice for the same reason as Rock and Steel.
Fighting beats Dark because good conquers evil; honorable fighting beats cheap shots.
Flying beats Fighting because birds are hard to punch/aerial advantage.
Flying beats Bug because birds eat insects.
Flying beats Grass because Grass is limited to the ground, while Flying has aerial advantage.
Poison beats Grass because pollution.
Poison beats Fairy because cold iron POISONS fairies, so Poison should too.
Ground beats Poison since it dilutes pollution.
Ground beats Rock because rocks are susceptible to earthquakes.
Ground beats Steel because steel buildings can fall in earthquakes.
Ground beats Fire because sand and dirt can put out flames.
Ground beats Electric since it grounds the electricity.
Rock beats Flying because birds have hollow bones, so throwing a rock at them kills them.
Rock beats Bug because rocks can kill bugs.
Rock beats Fire for the same reason as Ground does.
Rock beats Ice because throwing a rock at ice can break it.
Bug beats Grass because some bugs eat plants.
Bug beats Psychic since it's a fear, which is a mental state, like psychic abilities.
Bug beats Dark because bugs have no morality and can't judge good vs evil. Also nocturnal often.
Ghost beats Ghost because ghosts are often affected by other spectral forces.
Ghost beats Psychic for the same reason as Bug does.
Steel beats Rock because metal tools can break apart rocks.
Steel beats Ice for the same reason it beats Rock.
Steel beats Fairy because fairies get poisoned when touched with cold iron.
Fire beats Bug because bugs die in fires.
Fire beats Steel because steel can melt.
Fire beats Grass because forest fires.
Fire beats Ice because ice melts.
Water beats Ground because erosion.
Water beats Rock because erosion.
Water beats Fire because water douses fires.
Grass beats Ground because grass takes nutrients from soil.
Grass beats Rock for the same reason it beats Ground, and also because trees can become paper, which covers rock.
Grass beats Water because it absorbs it.
Electric beats Flying because things high up get struck by lightning easily.
Electric beats Water because water conducts electricity.
Psychic beats Fighting because Brain>Brawn.
Psychic beats Poison because Psychic relates to the mind, and enhanced minds (scientists) developed cures for poisons. This is a stretch. Otherwise, mind over matter.
Ice beats Flying because birds can get lost and die in snowstorms.
Ice beats Ground because Ice gets in cracks in the ground and expands and ruins the ground.
Ice beats Grass because plants die in winter.
Ice beats Dragon because I have no idea.
Dragon beats Dragon because a supreme being can be taken out by another supreme being.
Dark beats Ghost because dirty fighters likely don't respect the dead.
Dark beats Psychic because both the physical darkness and evil are human fears. See Ghost and Bug.
Fairy beats Fighting because in classical tales Fairies often defeated skilled fighters with their trickery.
Fairy beats Dark because even evil-doers get tricked by fairies because fairies are terrible creatures.
Fairy beats Dragon because the dragon always dies in a FAIRY tale.
Literally the only one I can't figure out is why Ice beats Dragon.
Dragons are often associated with Fire, so even if specific dragons aren't fire based, it kind of makes sense.For the record, here's my take on why everything beats everything.

People like those because it finally exposes the myths that surrounds Smash into the open.That's true. A balance must be figured out. We were actually discussing this topic a bit last night in the Source Gaming site meeting.
The issue we have is that the character/editorial/opinion articles are way more popular than the carefully crafted researched/ translated articles (in terms of both comments and views). Therefore...it seems like you guys want more of that kind of stuff. However, we've built our identity on providing sources (heck it's in our name) and that fact allows us to differentiate between other blogs and content. Achieving a balance between articles that are somewhat fluff (though in all honestly even our "fluff" articles take a long time to prepare) and articles that are "important" will be something that we are constantly trying to achieve.
