SAVE THE PLANET FROM DISASTER!!!

 

[TMNTSSB4]

The best game of 2014

amongst best anime as well

 

[TMNTSSB4]

did every FF7 spirit challenge as Cloud...except for Aerith's...saved that one for Sephiroth and his Daerith

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

If you drilled all the way through the earth and came out the other side, would the earth have 2 holes or 1

Lemme guess you did Hinawa’s spirit as either Yoshi or Ridley/Meta Ridley

 

[Aurane]

This was in my recommendations.

I may not understand what they're saying, but screaming is universal.

Real question is do you actually wind up in China

 

[TMNTSSB4]

nope. Used Pit for most of the spirits...tho this must be a reference I don't fully understand from M3 beyond mother dying of course

and I would never willingly play Yoshi cause no that's nasty

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Or Australia

 

[Aetheri]

None because magma would refill the holes and you'd be fried...

I'm watching corruptions in Super Nintendo games and it reminds me of the NES days when I put a cartridge in and it didn't load correctly. Sometimes I just played the game like that

First off: **** you

Second: yeah she was killed by a similar creature

Jesus **** these look cool

You've got to love those people on quickplay who are able to consistently preform extremely technical combos with a ton of consistency, but seem to not have a grasp on the more abstract concepts like neutral or disadvantage. They'll style on you until kill percent or you get a reversal, then they'll throw out a really bad Smash attack in neutral or laggy escape option in disadvantage and suddenly you're making a huge comeback at 150%.

Then again that might just be how the Superheavy vs Bayonetta just naturally is.

i have that problem. my though process is "character be there. f smash hit there. will use f smash" and then i get mad when the other player reads.

The more leaks and patents I read, the more it reminds me of Kamen Rider Den-O, I love Den-O so that is okay in my book.

Elevator pitch. You know Street Fighter x Mega Man? Same idea, but it's Sonic vs. SEGA All-Stars. A Mania styled 2-D platformer where the zones are inspired by other SEGA franchises.

If this were a thing, which games would you want to see made into Zones?

 

[PeridotGX]

I just noticed that Sephiroth is left handed.

Neat

That's an interesting one. From the top of my head:

• Puyo Puyo
• NİGHTS
• Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
• The House of Dead
• Super Monkey Ball
• Jet Set Radio
• Space Channel 5
• Samba de Amigo
• Megami Tensei (think of SMT Synchronicity Prologue)
• Skies of Arcadia

Not sure how they'd handle it but a zone based on a realistic setting like Yakuza or Virtua Fighter can be pretty unique.

well that sucks for her...but not for Lucas...explains why Sakurai loves abusing that reference

and that’s some major ****age there

Persona, Bayonetta, and Monkey Ball

That would create two holes part of the same path.

In no particular order: Samba De Amigo, Jet Set Radio, Skies of Arcadia, House of the Dead, Persona, Billy Hatcher, Condemned, Megami Tensei, Puyo Puyo, Ecco the Dolphin, Sakura Wars, Super Monkey Ball, and Space Channel 5.

Spongeboob
Your profile picture gave me a heart attack.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Welp. I think I'm quitting a game.

Dark Souls Remastered.

The more I play the game, the less I like it and the more flawed I think it is.

A lot of the game is fair telegraphed challenge, but a significant portion of the game is RNG, beginner's traps and unexplained mechanics and systems. There's been several times where I've been sucker punched and that's not s good feeling. Yeah sure, I know to watch out for it next time but... that's not fun or good game design.

On top of that, hitboxes are all sorts of messed up. Stuff hits me when it shouldn't. Stuff misses me when it shouldn't. Same applies to my attacks. It just doesn't feel consistent. I got hit through walls on multiple occasions and while it's funny at first... it gets less funny the more it happens. I understand some of these hitboxes are massive arcs but... c'mon.

Moreover the game just... decides you lose sometimes... like... it puts you in a situation where the only option is to die or wait until the game will let you try again. Perhaps an enemy keeps using an attack that isnt safe to punish and will never give you a chance to attack. Maybe the geometry of the room means an enemy is more safe than usual. Or maybe enemies just gather in a way where you have no room to escape, guard or parry. Maybe an enemy will hit you while you're getting up from a previous blow because it just decided to attack in that moment.

On top of that, the camera kinda sucks sometimes.

All of that is frustrating and annoying but... I was still having some fun.

I managed to get to Anor Lando and I was having a pretty alright time. I'd get stuck on occasion, but I could pull through with a change of strategy or just powering through. Heck, I got through most of Anor Lando just fine.

But then I got to Ornstein and Smough. I heard horror stories about these two but... this is assinine.

You have little to no chances to use the skills you learned through your journey. Attacks are coming too fast and there is no breathing room. I tried summoning until I ran out of humanity. Solaire just died and humans players just... stood there doing nothing.

The real frustrating part is that one on one... the normal versions aren't too bad. But because you fight both at once, I can't capitalize on any mistakes one makes. They cover each other and it's not fun.

I got so stumped that I looked up some ways to glitch the fight. And lo and behold, I did it a few times. The glitch was actually pretty cool. You actually freeze the duo and can pick one off. Sounds great right? Well the remaining enemy absorbs the power of the other and attacks you. I die before I learn a strategy. Well okay, just do the glitch until you learn, right? Well this glitch takes a long time to set up and it only sometimes works.

Fighting them normally is suicide.
Glitching them is time consuming, tedious and only sometime effective.
I can't summon and hope Dark Souls pros can beat them because I'm out of humanity and there's no place in Anor Lando to grind it.

I just keep failing and I feel like it isn't my fault.

I like a challenge. I love lots of games that are hard. I usually don't mind throwing myself at a 1 player game because even if it's really hard, I know I'll get better and eventually beat it.

But.. I don't feel that here. I'm just frustrated and left feeling cheated.

It's a shame. Exploring the world was really fun. Fighting enemies while sometimes annoying was still fun. Some of the bosses were even in the perfect spot challenge wise. Quelogg was greatly designed imo. She had lots of challenging attacks but the arena was set up in such a way that you had room to observe her tells and space to react accordingly.

I just... don't see myself beating Ornstein and Smough anytime soon. And... I'm at the point where, at least for now, I don't want to.

I'm done. It isnt fun anymore.

I'm gonna go play something else. I don't know if I'll ever go back to it.

 

[ZephyrZ]

I've been getting a lot of silly Water Gun clips with Squirtle lately. I need to upload them and make a compilation.

There's something about KOing with non-attack moves that's just so funny to me.

AY I actually had that idea a while back! I agree with the zone ideas other people have thrown out there, though I think in addition, if we're to go more obscure, a Burning Rangers zone has the potential to be amazing

I swear, birds are the most pretentious animals ever but this is really cute so I had to share it.

Bu sevimli kuş kuyruğunu pek gösterişli bulmamış olacak, kendisine kağıttan kuyruk dikiyor. Belki de gördüğü bir başka Kuşu taklit ediyor. Çok başarılı bir terzi ❤️ pic.twitter.com/0qHMDBKnJl

"Apparently this adorable bird didn't find its tail flashy enough. Currently, it's sewing itself a tail made of paper. Maybe it's imitating another bird it's seen. A very successful tailor."

Just right now, I got rid of one of the various problems I've been having these past weeks and had been tormenting me.

Everything isn't over yet as I still need to keep dealing with other related stuff, but this is hopefully the first of many successes on this whole thing.

I deeply can't thank people like osby Hat N' Clogs Lamperouge Cutie Gwen NonSpecificGuy Noipoi Metal Shop X and TheMightyP over here or people like Malo Mart Plank08 Lord Woomy Spatulo or Franco Geno over at Discord enough for all the efforts they have done for helping me keep pushing and not giving up on this whole thing.

I feel that now, with one of the main concerns being dealt with, I can get some peace on these coming holidays to relax my mind a bit from the whole thing, until the classes start again at least.

This is 100% me. I know a bunch of neat combos for my mains but if you asked me what to do when my opponent is running right towards me I would no clue. I just find learning that kinda stuff frankly not that interesting. I'm more of a "Stamina all items stage morph Final Destination only" kinda person.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Guys, I did it.

I did the thing.

I spiked Aerith's Spirit with Sephiroth Dair and killed her with it.

It's funny, right? It's very funny, please laugh, please, tell me I did the thing right, so I don't feel awful about it.

Please.....

Day 6 of posting random cards

Hopefully ya'll don't mind me being absent from the rest of the day.

My cousins arrived from Madrid yesterday and they are really wanting to see me today having lunch with them at their house.

Now that I got one of the elephants in the room out of the way, I want to spend the day to relax and enjoy their presence.

That's kinda of **** up when you think about it but thanks.

Atleast i'm not like the Shiva/Zero Sui Samus spirit that I just fought, who killed Krystal via her up-throw, that was very jarring yet funny & gave me the victory easy peasy.
