Underwater platform jumping.

Nah, I'm good, mate. I'm good.

 

[Lamperouge]

I’m really glad you enjoy that dialogue, I had a lot of fun writing it. Here’s some others I wrote with her if you haven’t read them yet:

Spoiler: Post-Daisy joins the party

Daisy first appears dressed in her sports attire wearing roller skates and wielding a tennis racket (both would be used in her moves) and after she agrees to join Peach’s party, she changes into her princess dress still wearing the roller skates, skating around Peach in circles.
: “Are you...still wearing your skates?”
: “Yep. Practice with them all the time in my dresses. Only tripped once.”
: “Don’t your gowns get dirty or torn?”
: “I had them all laminated.”
: “I’m just surprised you’re not sticking with your sport clothes for this.”
: “ I thought about it, but if I did, those mobs would think I’d have a tennis racket on me if I wore that. They’d never suspect I was carrying both that and my rollerblades under my dress. They’d come across us thinking “Oh hey look! A couple of princesses walking by unsuspectingly. They can’t be armed, LET’S GET THEM!” They challenge us to a battle and BAM! One rollerblade kick and tennis racket beating later, that start reevaluating their personal biases.”
: “...” (dizzy from watching Daisy spin around her)
: “Well, let’s get a move on! I always wanted to kick Bowser’s shell!”
: “...”
Sketch: “She’s quite a character, isn’t she?”

Spoiler: Showing off Karade’s powers 1

Shortly after Peach’s party meets her Karade (Duplighost) shows off her powers by turning herself into Peach:
: “Oh wow! That’s really spot on!”
: “Me next!
: “Come on Daisy, we all know the world isn’t capable of handling two of you.”
: “Hmph, you’re no fun.”
K: (chuckles) “Might as well.” (Turns into Daisy)
: “Yes! I always wanted a twin sister!”
: “OH NO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! WE’RE ALL DOOMED!!!”
: “And you say I’m the crazy one.”

Spoiler: Daisy on a train.

: “Chuggachuggachuggachugga. Chuggachuggachuggachugga. Chuggachuggachuggachugga. WOO WOO!”
: “Must you? I feel like I’m babysitting an eight year old.”
: “What? I like trains. I like the sound of them passing by. Something about the chugging sound they make gets my heart racing really hard. Makes me wanna yell real loud!”
: “There’s a lot of things that make you yell. I have audiology bills to prove it.”

Spoiler

: “This is gonna be so cool! Just imagine it Peach, you and me taking on the world! Fighting side by side kicking bad guys butts! Let’s see what the next level of Super Daisy Sisters has in store for us!!”
: “Wait. Super Daisy Sisters?”
: “I mean the hero usually gets top billing.”
: “Hold on, since when did you become the hero?!”
: “Isn’t it obvious? My best friend shows up to me one day with a cute mascot creature to whisk me away from my boring and dreary life into a perilous journey! I can already see the magical uniforms, I hope mine comes in orange. Should probably set up an appointment with a therapist for the inevitable trauma I’ll have to endure.”
: “I think you’re getting a little overexcited there, partner.”
: “You should be used to it by now. All my energy just builds up when I'm at home since there’s not much to do. I think spending time with you guys over at the Mushroom Kingdom is my biggest outlet. I’m jealous you get to go on big adventures all the time!”
: “You mean MARIO gets to go on adventures, I’m usually the reason for said adventure.”
: “Oh come on, I bet you at least have a little fun on them.”
: “Not really, pretty much every time, I’m either kidnapped, possessed or forced to marry Bowser! And sometimes all three!”

Yeah, I really love how energetic and confident you wrote her to be. The dynamic between her and Peach just works extremely well and I'd love to see these sorts of interactions between the two in the official games.

Wade once again believing that he has free will. Ha.

Admittedly I'm not super well versed in Yugioh archetypes, but there are a few I can think of off the top of my head.

Fluffals are the first that come to mind, pretty much being a bunch of cutsey animals that turn into horrifying beasts(the Frightfurs) when they fuse with the sentient blades, the Edge Imps. They're not super strong but they're a fun rogue deck to pilot, especially now that they have most of their key cards like Patchwork in the TCG.

Next up is something that isn't reallly an archetype but is generally considered one: generic Zombie support(with the Zombie Horde SD containing most of the cards) It's pretty hard to define them, due to how many zombies there actually are, but the main strategy of this kind of deck is to summon a bunch of Zombies and use Zombie world to do cheesy stuff regarding how Zombie world makes everything.. well, zombies. It's a bit more lenient in deck building so it's not a bad choice IMO.

The last one I can think of is the Lair of Darkness stuff(from the SD of a similar name and based around the field spell of the same name) but I don't think that's what you're looking for exactly. They're basically Zombie World but for the Dark attribute instead of Zombie and have a minor focus on the "Virus" trap cards(although that's mostly because the Virus traps are the few good targets to abuse the "once per turn tribute an opponent's monster as cost" effect Lair of Darkness has) which might not be exactly what you're looking for.

Thanks for the overview. It's pretty late right now, so I'll look them up tomorrow and get back you then, if you don't mind.

I’m glad to hear I did these characters justice. She’s so fun to work with. I really hope I get to work on a future installment for at least one series I love someday.

You had a problem with drowning in Chemical Plant? Scrub.

JK I was stuck on that level for the longest time as a kid so don't feel bad

Everyone did, and anyone who said they didn't are ****ing Sonic The Liars.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

At work today, we spent a lot of the time packing PS5s.

Though I wasn't allowed to pack them. I just watched everyone else do it.

Gonna be honest... Chemical Plant has always been that one stage I never got past because of that stupid bull**** drowning mechanic.

Even to this day I hate underwater Sonic levels. the drowning timer is way too strict.

Already decided my next avatar thanks to the new Helluva Boss once I get settled with my new laptop.

It's still Blitzo

Why does this mod look more polished than anything actually in Forces, lol.

[IMG alt="D•Robo Daihero"]https://smashboards.com/data/avatars/s/468/468851.jpg?1604236421[/IMG] D•Robo Daihero I figured you'd be the best person to ask. Right now I'm really liking the whole Ghostrick series, do you know if there are any other similar ones I could check out? I really dig cute and creepy-cute ghost/monster stuff in general, but I'm also very out of the loop.

Ghost Trick?
You mean this Ghost Trick?

SEGA should pull another Sonic Mania move and bring some of these guys together to make their own 3D Sonic game.

Nah, it's just a halloween themed Yugioh archetype.

 

[Mamboo07]

I hate that Forces had so much potential and bam! So much wasted stuff...
Like having Sonic's friends as playable characters, other zones like Oil Ocean/Mushroom Hill/Emerald Coast instead of boring Green Hill bias, Infinite as the final boss and many more.

Edit: Imagine a boss fight with Perfect Chaos in Chemical Plant, him flooding and going on a rampage through said plant as well he would be made of the Mega Mack stuff.

Sonic Forces? More like.

Garbage.

Eh, it's more mediocre and forgettable than anything else, really...but I suppose one could argue that's worse than being a dumpster fire. At least then we'd have more material to poke fun at.

12 hours later...and I'm still working away at moving but we're pretty much moved in and basically unpacking and getting fully settled in.

I like how Tails back in Sonic Adventure fought Chaos but becomes a wimp when he met Chaos 0.

I've only got a few more days to finish RWBY's 7th Volume before Volume 8 premieres.

Wish me luck.

I mean... I actually prefer playing a kinda fun game rather playing a terrible one just to makes jokes about it later but that's just me.

Then again, I don't believe "so bad that it's good" so there's that.

The thing with a game like Sonic Forces is that you can't really make fun of the whole thing like you can with 06. It functions perfectly fine, but it's just so boring and basic that there's almost nothing of any note to take away. And I much rather play a glitchy, awful game than a functioning, boring game. At peast you can have fun breaking the rules in the former.

 

[Noipoi]

A pirate dies, and the Grim Reaper comes to take him to the afterlife. But he refuses to move on because he still has to use the bathroom. When the Grim Reaper asks what he’s doing, he replies-

“Arrrr I Pee”

This has been terrible jokes with Noipoi.

So I decided to Switch over to using CPU allies for shiny hunting Dynamax Adventures and honestly I'm having a much better time then when I had human allies. I'm still able to take out Giratina pretty consistently and it really helps being able to choose your own routes.

CPU players don't seem to consiser type match ups when choosing to swap pokemon but honestly lots of human players seem bad at that to. At least with CPUs you can guide them to pokemon with good match ups while human players will often for some baffling reason vote to avoid them. CPUs also don't dynamax, which on paper should be frustrating but I find lots of human players waste theirs - I've seen multiple instances of players using the team's dynamax while their health is in the red only to instantly get KOed.

The really nice thing is that they take zero time to make decisions in battle which really speeds things up. Turning off combat animations also helps a bit, but I wish you could turn off the animation for dynamaxing.

Are all of those legendaries actually in the dex?

 

[Shroob]

Are all of those legendaries actually in the dex?

Afaik, no. They're treated like the Alola starters. They exist in the game, but are not part of the dex, like Keldeo, despite being available.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Afaik, no. They're treated like the Alola starters. They exist in the game, but are not part of the dex, like Keldeo, despite being available.

I see. Well. That destroyed any interest in ever touching the feature. I just wanna beat the story and fill up the dex.

Oh, by the way, if I have a completed Galar Dex and a completed Isle of Armor Dex, about how many Pokemon will I need to catch to get a full Tundra Dex?
