My copy of the Dragon quest trilogy arrived today.

Haven't played it yet, I want to finish my Battle network marathon first

**** I'm at my limit at this point.

So far I've managed to cheese mostly everyone with Ike or Incineroar, but it's getting to the point where I need extremely good luck for the CPU to fall for the trap. Donkey & Lady and Caeda are the only ones that seem to be impossible with Ike/Incineroar, so I'm gonna need some divine intervention for those ones.

At least once these are out of the way, I'll just have to deal with at least 40 more frustrating fights because I'm sure there's some Ace and Advanced battles that are just slogs to get through.

You think we'll see another character by year's end?
It's possible.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

The last (or only other) time we had one of these, Min Min was announced the next day, and when there was a similar tournament at the end of September, Steve's presentation was announced within a few days of that.

Mind you, two similar situations occurring isn't much of a pattern, but it seems possible that we could get an announcement early in November. (or it could mean nothing and be a coincidence)

EDIT: plus, there's the Mario tournament that had an incredibly vague release day of "November or December" that was announced in the Mario 35th Anniversary direct - I don't know how tournaments have worked in the past, but I don't see why they couldn't have given it a specific date, or even had it that weekend. Maybe it's tied to a Mario character reveal that was planned for November or December and they didn't know the exact date, or maybe it's another coincidence.

Oh. Would you mind reposting that link?
Sure thing.

I’ll work on expanding it more soon.

I'd do the whole "don't give me hope" Hawkeye meme, but let's be honest. I was gonna have hope no matter what you said.

meh. With Steve finally on the horizon I'm content for now. As long as we don't have to wait a long ass time I'll be fine waiting until 2021. That one tweet about the amiibos for FP1 releasing Fall 2021 isn't exactly promising though...

To be honest, there are times where Smash speculation makes me feel like the sort of person who would set this up haha.



Or like Wiggum in this Simpsons clip, which seems relevant.


(I wanted to find something other than the It's Always Sunny picture)

I feel oddly good about the chances of an early November reveal, though, especially if Steve and FP8 were intended to be E3 reveals. (E3's traditionally had two reveals when Smash is involved, and I don't really see Min Min as being an E3 reveal)

At the same time though, last year, Terry was revealed and released in the fall and then we didn't know about the next character until January. So I can see a December reveal if we're lucky, but I doubt it.

And since Hero and Banjo shared the stage at E3. Makes me wonder who else could have come with him. Maybe a certain other fan favorite Square Enix character to go along with Steve's Microsoft Character status?

Expecting Fp8 to be revealed anytime soon feels like wishful thinking to me. I ain't expecting it til December at the earliest, mid February at the latest.

If anything, I feel like like our E3 would've been Min Min as the opener, and Steve as the closer

If Miis and Palutena were considered E3 tier, then I don't think Min Min would be too farfetched

I'm guessing that, if Steve and FP8 were intended as an E3 reveal, I'm guessing that whoever FP8 is will be a long-time fan favourite like Ridley and Banjo, who closed out E3 2018 and 2019.

Mind you, two reveals isn't much of a pattern, but between the past E3 reveals (going all the way back to Brawl) and the unclear timing of the Mario tournament, I could see it possibly being Geno next. (not sure if that's who you meant by a Square-Enix character; I know there's some confusion about Sora's ownership, though I'm 99% sure he's owned by Disney going by the copyright info at the start of every KH game)

Ah yes, thank you, Youtube recommendations. Recommending a 13 year old animation.
Feels oddly nostalgic ngl.

Yeah. I was talking about Geno. Sora is owned by Disney. I spent a lot of time making sure of that.

So, my Switch won’t turn on. I tried pressing the power button, holding it down for fifteen seconds, and charging my Switch, but nothing is working. Anything else I can try?

Edit: Literally as I posted this it turned on, so never mind.

iirc Sora is in a bit of a weird place. On one hand he was explicitly designed by Nomura and according to google Disney had to get permission from him(and probably Square) in order to use him in a park once(and honestly this is Disney we're talking about. If they had the full rights they woulda miked Sora long ago lol), but on the other hand... most of the staple KH stuff you would expect to see in a moveset is in fact owned by Disney, and would be a licensing knightmare (say Donald and Goofy)

I'm not super sure myself though, so if I'm wrong it be much appreciated if you'll correct me.

I am mainly thinking December because by the time it rolls around, the team that worked on Byleth will have worked on a fighter for as long as Steve was. I can't imagine CP8 being an even bigger programming nightmare.

I'm just going by this:



Something like this is at the start of every Kingdom Hearts game, and the only things that aren't copyright Disney are characters from Final Fantasy or the World Ends With You (who are specifically listed as being copyright Square-Enix), series that were released by Disney's subsidiaries like The Nightmare Before Christmas, and the occasional oddity like how Tarzan is still owned by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.

Sorry buddy I try to make people feel better with humor but I’ll stop if it doesn’t help you in your process of dealing with bad vibes


just remember this kind of stuff isn’t endemic on your value as a human

as someone who’s done a fair amount of acting auditions and stuff just because that kind of rejection Comes dosent mean that you or your original basis for believing you can do something is wrong a million insignificant things can lead to this and none of them are your fault. Your best is good enough and its a brilliant thing when you can get up when you stutter

I believe in you and I’m sorry again about the unwanted Joke stuff about it

I hope this came across right
It's alright. I just wish I could have done more. I feel like I have much to give to my local Smash Bros. community and this opportunity was so close to panning out, but it didn't.

The only person who got more votes than me in the end (and thus the winner) just has natural charisma that I don't have. I might not be naturally likable; I might have to work hard at being likable in general, and such a revelation wouldn't shock me. Am I naturally likable? Probably not, tbh.

I had the best debate performances by far, the mods even said so. Yet I lost anyway (coming in 2nd is just the best loser). Just not being that likable in general has to be why I lost.

First, we get a fighter that can manipulate the stage.
Next, we get a character than manipulates movesets.
FP9 manipulates the games rules
FP10 manipulates the games files
FP11 maniuplates the Nintendo Switch
The bonis fighter manipulates your life.
You're forgetting the fighter that uses physical cards that you have to scan into the amiibo slot to use his special moves :4pacman:

1:30am at the hospital. Doctors have narrowed it down to a few things.

Also watched Konosuba in public. Good Times.

Edit: Wonder if my brothers know I'm not in the house?
I hope you feel better soon :(

What are the most likely possibilities, if I may ask?
