Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I mean, it's a fighting game. Any move that can cause damage is pretty clearly meant to cause damage.

You can argue that the taunts might not be, but the regular moveset? Absolutely. It's a fighting game moveset. Kind of obvious here.

How is it not a club with this flawed logic?

Look at it. It’s a stick attached to something that’s flailed around. The same story as nunchucks. Your own rules fall under inspection.

Firstly, if you're flailing a whip, you're probably using it wrong.
Secondly, the operative end of the whip doesn't bludgeon.
Thirdly, you're more than welcome to use the handle as a club if you really want to be pedantic. Pickaxe handles were used as clubs in the past.

How do you know the character's intentions short of what the player is using them for?
I don't know about you, but Villager's attack is usually used to cause damage using the stick as a blunt weapon.

bro listen
you can tell by their facial expression and motions that they're just having a happy, merry time twirling their stick around. maybe the player is using it to intend harm but the villager clearly isn't, and the villager is the one in possesion of the stick. the debate is "is villager's stick a club" not "is the player using villager's stick as a club"

don't forget your biological father who was going to attend that your wife-to-be cheats with 3 weeks before the wedding

need that there

get that serious **** outta here we're talking about sticks

 

[Good Guy Giygas]

No it's an axe, an entirely different class of weapon.
You're really not helping the "not a club" argument here.

I know, I'm just trying to stir the pot.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

I've already decided I'm never getting married. It wouldn't do anything for me.

 

[Just a penguin]

We're overthinking this. Go pick up a flimsy twig and try to club someone with it. It won't work.

*clubs you you to death with a twig*

trust me,I am too

Right, so why does it matter to you how they're using it and not primarily what it'd be classified as?
Which would be "as a club"

 

[KMDP]

Guys, I just picked up a spoon and it kinda sounded like an anime sword.

...

Don’t ask.

Anything can be a weapon if you imagine hard enough.

Don't push it any further, I'm not entirely convinced someone won't have been murdered by the end of this.

 

[Deleted member]

yo how are you 20 and already have a (former) fiance ***** i still dont have a job

This is why I'm scared of the real world

That sounds familiar to me...

From a purely utilitarian standpoint, all you need for a marriage is the people who are going to be wed, the religious man (or woman) who is going to marry them and two witnesses.

I agree. But many people want the moment to be more superficially special than that. I don't fault them for wanting that. Getting married is a big ****ing deal.

If one day I actually let myself get married, whatever my spouse wants, she's getting. I don't need anything myself-- I don't even want the religious guy, get him out of there-- but I'm giving her the day she wants to remember because I already got the day I want to remember when I popped the question. The wedding is just fluff.

 

[Gyrom8]

Whenever I myself get married, I'm not gonna invite virtually everyone who I looked at in my life. All I need is my immediate family, my extended who have been around for a lot of my life, my best friends, and a few extras like my favorite teachers and the such. I rather invite like 50 than 200. Less stress, and less expensive.

Exactly - the more people you invite the more people you feel bad about not inviting 'if I invite them, then I have to invite them etc.' I get really stressed about inviting/not inviting people to things as I imagine I'll offend them, even if I'm not that close. Which makes something like a smaller wedding preferable.

 

[Pyra]

Don't push it any further, I'm not entirely convinced someone won't have been murdered by the end of this.

I hardly think anyone's getting mad over this.

 

[MBRedboy31]

Maybe the twig is actually a magic wand, but Villager sucks at magic, so he’s stuck with hitting the opponent with it instead. It’s like hitting someone with a gun that doesn’t have any bullets in it; it’s still a gun, but you can hit people with it, too.

they're literally just twirling it around

Twirling it around like a Baton.

Villager is actually part of a High School Marching Band.

Villager’s stock doesn’t bludgeon either. It’s not used in a clubbing fashion. And we’re forgetting another crucial aspect of clubbing, strippers it being heavy. Clubs are heavy, that’s a fact. Whips aren’t heavy unless they’re decked out to the point of absurdity. Villager’s stick isn’t heavy. Nunchuck handles aren’t heavy. They aren’t clubs.

 

[Good Guy Giygas]

If I picked up Geno and beat someone over the head with him, would he be considered a club?

Made of wood? Check. Intended to hurt? Check. Yes.

 

[Deleted member]

I know, I'm really just joking, but I've actually been in super heated arguments with friends over similarly meaningless arguments.
Like putting your meat in vegetable bags when grocery shopping (which you should do)

 

[Deleted member]

Let's talk about "Shazam!":

When I showed my mother a screnshot of the movie she talked to me about how she rememberef watching an old cartoon of the character when she was way younger.

When the first trailer released and she saw it on her own... She had after doing so a face that screamed the thought of "What the hell did I just watch?"

 

[Deleted member]

Which would be "as a club"

because the villager is not using the goddamn stick as a club
all
sticks
are
not
clubs
to be a club they have to be used as weapons, the villager is not using the stick as a weapon
you could argue that they are because we're making them, but we're not making them use it as a club. we're making them play with it. anyone who falls/walks into it gets hurt, but it doesnt ****ing mean its a club

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Wanna know what makes this Club argumwnt better? In the background, im watching someone playing DMC4 and he is dying over and over to Dante and all I hear is guns, swords and "WHAT THE ****"

Geno’s probably been to a strip club if you think about it.

I can testify for this. I once fought my way through the crowd at an Obama speech, using nothing but a penny.

Now how about Banjo

 

[TheMightyP]

Would Ness's bat be a club?
Would Ice Climber's and Dedede's hammers be considered a club?
Would Lucas's Stick be a club?

Same, same.

Frugality is hella sexy /s

Insert lenny face here.

because it features fan favorite characters.

Saying that is really rude, implying that the only reason somebody believed a convincing leak was because they were blinded by bias since there was a character they liked in it.

Mario's FS sucks

 

[Mythra]

How about we talk about this instead.

The topic: Do Dragonball transformations count as magical girl transformations.

Side topic: Are contemporary physical standards and expectations of male and female wardrobe antiquated and harmful to children in their formative years? What ARE those thighs??

Minako actually is rocking Krillin's gi.

I think that Young Link's is worse, honestly.
