Ironic given people's obsession's with the jiggle on Chun Li in Fortnite.

Dammit, I knew I should've bought the costume

It's almost like fighting games don't tend to save the best for last.


Oh no Smas----oh, wait, we knew that already.

You're laughing, but wait until All Stars Brawl reveals Goku from Nicktoons' DBZ Kai.

 

[Pokelego999]

Honestly?

Sometimes I like using pre evos or weaker Pokémon, it makes things a little more challenging. I know these games like the back of my hand, so why not shake it up a lil?

If Eviolite exists it could be very good honestly.

Not to say Togetic is terrible on it's own, I used one in my Crystal save awhile back.

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah

Corrin was seen as a blatant shill, along with being the 27th FE character. And people didn’t believe Bayo won the ballot.

It got even worse when Bayo dominated the competitive scene.

And then it got even worse in the EVO 2018 finals.

 

[Shroob]

Even then, I doubt the last character is going to take that long. Remember, Steve was still able to be completed in the usual amount of time even with all the stage editing they had to do.

Depends.


Sakurai's presentation, assumedly was only filmed a few weeks after E3, and he himself said it'd be "A wait", which, as far as I can tell, he's never gone out of his way to make a distinction like that before.


At the end of the day, if it's not September, it's December. Barring the announcement of a "Final Sakurai Presents!", it's going to be one of those 2 months.

Besides, completing the main story of an official Pokemon game isn't something you have to let out your inner Smongonite for just to beat the first Youngster.

[DerpingPikachu]

Personally I loved the inclusion of Bayo in Smash 4
Despite the fact that I had no clue who she was back then
I hope the final dlc this time is someone really cool as well

 

[Wademan94]

Nahobino sounds like the Japanese name of a Mario enemy that made its first and last appearance in Galaxy 2.

What a frightening demon

 

[MooMew64]

Noipoi Pokelego999 feel free to judge my taste.

I limited myself to only what's available between Gen I and IV, and like Noi I tried to pick Pokémon I haven't used in mainlines as core picks before.

First of all, remove Delcatty-

Torterra and Ampharos are based as ****.

Delcatty is on brand.

Sharpedo and Rapidash are solid picks. And Vespiquen is unique, I’ve never used one before so I dunno how that’ll go.

Good ****/10.

Is Bayonetta "The best" though? Because in regards to Smash 4's DLC, I'd say that both Ryu and Cloud easily outrank her in terms of sheer size and hype.


That's not to say that Bayonetta's a bad inclusion no, but there were clearly 'bigger' characters than her in the DLC cycle.

Yeah ok but seriously, Torterra is a sign of respect between people.

Rapidash is overall an ok fire type, can't go wrong with it. Vespiquen isn't the worst possible thing, so it should work well enough. Just be prepared for rock types. Sharpedo is a solid overall mon. Ampharos is strong but rather slow, so be prepared to get outsped, and make sure Vespiquen can support Ampharos against it's checks.

But legitimately, never use Delcatty. It's ****ing awful. It has no firepower, no bulk, and a mediocre speed stat. Anything it can do, another normal type can do better. Bibarel is probably a better choice, no joke. Though I doubt I'm getting you to switch it out, just keep that in mind.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

When being credited in projects, "Nate F." is gonna be pretty hard to google. So I'm thinking of going by a stage name. Like, Nate insert last name starting with f here that isn't actually my last name.

Kinda like how Christina Valenzuela is credited as Christina Vee in some projects. Hopefully that's a good idea, haha.

 

[TheMightyP]

Assuming all these 'Mons are in, yup!

Well if it's 1:1, it's safe to say the will be in the game.


Though I wonder if Alolan forms and Galarian forms will be in the game. Actually, I wonder if newer Pokemon will retroactively be added as they do seems to be using the same assets as SwSh.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

It's almost like fighting games don't tend to save the best for last.


Oh no Smas----oh, wait, we knew that already.

And I don’t know why they don’t. Like… start AND END on a high! Starting high gets the fans buying, ending high keeps them coming back for whatever you do next.

 

[Pokelego999]

Well sorry to bust the party, but Sharpedo, Ampharos, and Delcatty aren't in DPP's original dex. It may change, but they aren't base game, meaning you'd have to use HOME to send them in if it even lets you.

 

[Noipoi]

They better.

It's all business.


Strike while the iron's hot as they say. When you JUST announce a new DLC pass, that's when everyone's looking in your direction. That's when all the money rolls in. Player retention drops over time even with new characters coming out.

understood

after taking this advice to heart

i will instead use a skitty

Oh I'm fine with using HOME, it just depends on who's in in the end.


...


It's almost like the game is coming out soon and news should be delivered about this kind of thing.

Funny, that.

 

[TheMightyP]

Lets Go had Alolan, so it's not out the question

 

[Guynamednelson]

Lets Go had Alolan, so it's not out the question

Didn't you have to transfer them from Go though?

 

[MooMew64]

okay fine

if they let me have Alolan Garfield back

I'll swap out Delcatty

 

[Pokelego999]

Didn't you have to transfer them from Go though?

Nah, there were in game trades for em.

 

[Noipoi]

I’ll be psyched if I get to use Alolan Raichu tho. Probably my favorite electric type.

I can understand that but I just do not get why they kept this guy a mystery for so long when they revealed the other four SF characters all together. If anything, if you were gonna keep a character secret it should have been Akira. That was the fan request, and Dan, Rose, and Oro still would have been enough to get people buying and then we wouldn’t have had all that buildup to a generic ducking white guy named Luke. Win Win.

Maybe they hadn't gotten enough of him designed? Or hell, maybe he was in extremely early draft.


Like, in regards to Street Fighter, reminder that 4 ended on Decapre, which was just Cammy in a mask, so... yeah.

I’ve noticed this trend at my job, honestly.

In the morning, there is a huge number of guests who ride every single ride in the park each hour(easily hitting triple or even quadruple digits depending on what ride it is) but as the day goes on and the afternoon hits(specifically right around 11pm as that’s when most people head to the water park)the number gets lower and lower, and occasionally there won’t even be anyone in line.

... I don’t really know where I’m going with this

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Alolan Raichu's design is such a sick little homage to surfing Pikachu, and it fit's Alola's theming perfectly. It's easily my favorite reigonal form.

 

[Aurane]

Was playing overwatch (kill me) and the chat was going off. Screaming about all the diffs. Mercy diff, tank diff- you get the deal. So I just randomly decided to type, "torb diff" when there wasn't even a torb on the field. I wasn't expecting any remarks, but this one guy after I posted that almost instantly types, "TORB ISN'T EVEN HERE"

And then everyone was arguing about there actually being a torb or not.

I'm not exactly sure what happened, other than a part of my last brain cell splitting off and fading into nothingness.

 

[MooMew64]

It's just how the business works, honestly. The big money is in your casual audience, and they stick around the early days, which is where you'll get your season pass buyers. You need big reveals then to sell your pass, get everyone hooked.

Then, at the end? Anyone who was gonna buy the pass already bought it like, 6-8 months ago: There isn't a need to wow anymore. This is the place to drop your cheapest offer at the end as a small hurrah, close it out, get a few stragglers who the product appeals to, and then cash out and move on to your next project.

Pretty much every company that offers a service does this. Opening strong and finishing strong are not only subjective, but usually not super doable given budgets, time constraints, and whole bunch of other nasty complications.

Basically:

Making things is hard and actually pleasing anyone (in today's world especially) is even harder.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

When I first heard this in the show, I thought I was going crazy, but nope, it's K.K. Slider alright.
