I'm actually starting to warm up to Peach's voice. Sometimes they like to do certain changes on characters and this is probably one of those examples. Not everything has to be like the games after all.

That said, I didn't think they were going to make her totally helpless but rather more as a strong lady in the more tactical sense: as a sovereign, she can also be a military leader, and I think when it comes to being a commanding officer, she would shine at strategy more than at direct combat but I still suspect she'll probably get kidnapped in the 3rd act or something. I imagine they'd give this incarnation some fire (As in giving someone a good wording).

Though almost all toads seems not ready for combat.

Compared to the old Super Mario Adventures comic book version. Where Peach had a squad ready for deployment.

The scarlet and violet post game is actually really great so far.

Just made it to the part where things get sus…..

Really cool concept for a post game story so far.

CannonStreak CannonStreak 's AMA is now up!

If you'd like to be added to the list of future AMA subjects, lemme know via reply or PM



One a separate note, I should mention I plan to pass the baton of AMA hosting pretty soonish, as I'm admittedly getting a bit exhausted with these (setting these up once a week for three years running can a little tiring lol), and with me resigning as mod, the time feels about right.

If you want of y'all would be interested in taking over hosting duties, feel free to PM me about it. I plan to continue doing the next few in the meantime though

It's been a great opportunity setting these up and I'm gonna try my hardest to make sure these continue to be a thing without me hosting.

Holy ****….!

What the **** is that plot twist in Scarlet and Violet?

That is no what I expected to be the truth here. This is insane!

Man, the level curve in Scarlet feels weird in the late game.

Looking at thelevels you have to do the final two team star members AFTER you beat the 8 gyms, then the final totem Pokemon after that.

legit gonna end up being the first time I love every single thing Peach will do in a Mario only thing since 3D World (haven’t played Strikers on the Switch, but I did like her expressions)

God of War: Ragnarok is an example of truly putting blood, sweat and tears into something.

The game's story didn't even need to be as heavy detailed as it needed to be.

Notably finding Thor is having issues with his family.

If it doesn't win GotY, I'm'a gonna flip a table.

Just made it to credits in Scarlet and Violet.

DAMN…. What a game and story. Having had no bugs, this was a smooth experience so I got really immersed in this.

The post game was absolutely wild though. I didn’t expect any of that.

This game definitely needed voice acting. There’s several moments that would hit so hard with good acting.

The anime arc is gonna go crazy though.

Also I 100% bet that the bonds with npcs and end game story will transfer to a full mechanic Next game.

There’s also a very interesting Legends Paldea setup here.

I genuinely havent had this much fun with Pokemon battles since Gen 5 back when Pokemon battles weren't a cakewalk like they were in Gen 6 and beyond.

I feel like that scene in Pokemon origins where Red shows Giovanni that Pokmon battles are meant to be fun.

Yeah, the Mario movie definitely looks like it'll be a fun watch. Love all the references and how expressive the characters are compared to their video game counterparts.

I continue to be unimpressed by Chris-san's performance as Marty-O though, even if he is so cool.

People really out there complaining about Peach being a girlboss when the alternative was her screaming MARIOOOOOO for most of the movie

I think a lot of people don't realize how fun plaging a JRPG underleveled can be.
I did an underlevel run for SMT IV once and while "fun" would be the last word I'd use to describe it, it was certainly an experience.

I didn't see the trailer yet but are these really our only options?

I mean, with good writing you can make a captured Princess Peach engaging to watch. Some of the examples mentioned, like SMA and PM are proof of that. It's kinda like how it was said that overpowered characters are by design unrelatable and then in comes Saitama :yoshi:
