So, Pyoro is back?

 

[ZephyrZ]

They all only evolve if shiny though.

Which is a pretty unique mechanic, that I would love to see in the actual games.

I don't think I need to explain why this would be a bad idea.

For a fan game specifically targeted at shiny hunters, its fine. But in a main series game it'd be a massive middle finger to casual players.

Yeeeeah.

I feel like people forget how long Shiny hunting is outside of Scarlet/Violet lol.

 

[Schnee117]

It's perfect

 

[Wario Bros.]

The "pih" and "rah" that Pyoro tweeted yesterday turned out to be Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and Rent a Hero respectively

 

[Schnee117]

The perfect merch doesn't exi-

Hello yes I'll take five

 

[Wario Bros.]

So we now know that Pyoro has insider info at SEGA at the very least.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

The SEGA talk makes me remember how we need a new Virtua Fighter. Or in my opinion, a Fighters Megamix (characters from VF and Fighting Vipers, Rent-A-Hero, and Virtua Cop. Throw in Streets of Rage, Yakuza, Shenmue, Segata Sanshiro, maybe some Persona and Power Instinct too if Atlus is willing to play ball.)

It's so unfair how this is Japan only, this is the peak of an artform

 

[Guynamednelson]

Yakuza

I would go "erm ackshually Fighters Megamix is only supposed to involve Sega AM2 characters" but Yakuza might still fit, its director did a lot of work for Sega AM2's games before moving to Amusement Vision.

 

[cashregister9]

"Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii" is already a top 5 coolest video game subtitle of all time.

"The man who erased his name" is another high ranking one.

How do they keep doing it???

 

[Jondolio]

I'm near the end of my Persona 5 Royal playthrough and I thought I'll probably take a break from this franchise after I beat the game so of course Sega decided to put 3 Reload on sale right now

I get that that was the first one because AM2 made it and they used the characters they created (I think) but at this point so far out I think they should just use characters from across all SEGA.

one can never truly escape the ways of the Persona

Why is it 3 Reload and not 3-load?

If this was the old odds sure, but every game since black and white has made shiny hunting stupidly easy.

Ultra wormholes, sos, Dynamax adventures, friend safaris, mass outbreaks,and honestly probably a few others I forgot.

But the point stands that even though these pools contain limited pokemon, a majority of these odds usually take under an hour too find shiny pokemon.

So I think you could definitely make it work. If you wanted to go a step further, make the odds somehow higher for this pokemon by default, tie it into the lore. There’s certainly a few ways to make it work imo.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

guess I gotta add Penguin to the list of comic characters with a shockingly great 2024 project that could end up being better than a Joker project

Also add Phantasy Star Online to the list too.

Also add Phantasy Star Online to the list too.

i'm not sure if that fits the theme quite as well as the other franchises I've suggested.

The Nintendo Ninjas scared Pyoro so bad he had to run to another company

Now he’s gotta worry about the literal Yakuza in Sega’s employ.

 

[TheMightyP]

The Sega Samurais nuked Midori so we'll see how that goes

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I’ll mention this every chance I can get. But an ArcSys Final Fantasy fighting game would be so bomb.

 

[SneakyLink]

Time for some Zen Studios Pinball updates:

1. A new original table launches October 24 on both Pinball FX and Pinball M. In this table, you take on the role of a camp counselor on the run from a mysterious killer. Will you be able to survive "Camp Bloodbrook"?

2. One of the three Williams tables launching in Pinball FX later this year is Earthshaker.

This reminds me.

How would you do a pinball themed character in a fighting game? Can the mechanics of pinball be translated into a fighting game?

Did Sega actually nuke Midori was Midori just shamed out because of the whole "White guy pretending to be a Japanese Woman" thing?

A new Dissidia would be cooler.

IMO Arena Fighters are pretty lame.

If the odds are inherently higher, then that's not really a "shiny" anymore. It's just a rare alternate form like Authentic Sinistea/Poltchageist.

Nintendo fans seeing Pyoro switched to Sega instead of Nintendo leaks:

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

He offers you a clam (totally not cut with anything)
Do you accept?

 

[Wario Bros.]

It's still crazy that Splatoon started off as a brand new IP launching on a console that sold like total dog **** and even after the console failed, it is now one of Nintendo's main flagship titles.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

A Roller Derby player would be amazing in a fighting game. That sport is so violent, it just works.

 

[TheMightyP]

Sega put that hit on him. Big Hedgehog doesn't want you to know that.

 

[Shroob]

Sonic Sez:

"I swear to Christ I will find you and eliminate your entire bloodline if you leak my **** one more time."

 

[Dukefire]

Sega put that hit on him. Big Hedgehog doesn't want you to know that.

So, Midori was cooked after years of leaking Nintendo data. For SEGA, not too far into his attempted comeback, already is being shot down.....

Man, SEGA is fast to cover potential leaks.

I haven't seen the series and hope that it would stay dead. Seeing it return after pushing up daisies, just makes it even more sour then before.

 

[Jondolio]

I have a 98% on the compendium in P5R. I never even got close to that in 4 cause getting Personas in that game wasn't nearly as engaging. I can't argue that 5 isn't a better game than 4 gameplay wise but I still like 4 better

Also I'm definitely not playing 3 after this, I feel so burnt out and I still haven't fought the final boss
