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

[Deleted member]

Okay I've brought up the ToP arc in DBS twice today (Once earlier and once right now) and that's because I'm rewatching it in dubbed but they also missed a huge opportunity to use Buu in there, it would've been cool too! Buu is my favorite DB villain so I would've loved to see him in there fighting for Universe 7, He trained hard too but they did a bait and switch.

I wonder why?

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I mean, if we're talking about Geno there's really only one song his reveal trailer could have.

It's like, literally his theme song.

 

[Deleted member]

I know quite a few have like and

They could also do it like the Belmont showcase have that Castlevania song play when in his reveal and while Sakurai talks they use a different song while he showcases him.

I do think BTFM would work better and is more likely to be used though.

I think the moral of the thread today is Araki needs to calm the **** down and retire

I imagine they said something similar 30 years ago.

Lol. I don't care about my actual GSP or rank.

What I care about is that I constantly feel like I'm regressing or not improving.

And when you start the night with 2.9mil and drop to 800k you know you're doing poorly.

Algorithmic ranking systems have always been wack and not a very accurate measurement of one's skill. Don't take it seriously.

My brother is really good at Counter Strike: Global Offensive. He currently has o ver 2,000 hours in the game. But for some reason, he's never been able to get above a Silver rank in the game. Both friends and strangers have remarked that he should be much higher than that, and he's often been accused of having a "smurf" account (a new account highly-skilled players use to play with newbies or lesser skilled players), but his hours say otherwise.

Then there was me 10 years ago in Halo 3 trying to get above a 39 skill level, winning games and gaining no points, and then losing a game and getting knocked down to 37 or 36. Why? It had to do with a bunch of invisible, intangible factors, including my playing history. It's possible that if I started a new account, I'd be able to get a way higher skill ranking, because I wouldn't be weighed down by whatever nebulous factors were making it difficult to go up.

Or several years ago, Battlefield 4 had a "skill" stat that fluctuated wildly between games. My K/D and SPM stats were very good and consistent, but the skill stat kept flying up and down, usually due to an occasional poor game I might have had. Eventually they removed the stat altogether, because it sucked and didn't make any sense.

That's what GSP is. It's trying to quantify something that can't be quantified, and almost no game has done this well. You're not regressing, you just had some bad games and a flawed system took it out of proportion. I've seen dozens of people mention the same issue here and elsewhere.

That doesn't mean a high GSP doesn't require skill and isn't something to be proud of, but the way it handles losses is obviously messed up, and it's nothing new in the world of ranking systems. It's just unfair and poorly thought out.

Any other Yoshi songs you think should be in?

I don't have much time as I'm almost done with work, so I'll just list some from Yoshi's Island...

Underground
Castle & Fortress
Mini-Boss
Big Boss

Araki quite literally had a Stand get defeated by the power of fanfiction in Part 6 and I don't even WANT to know what the **** is happening in Part 8. No seriously, there's currently NO story right?

I didn't vote last time because, honestly, neither of those outcomes were preferable for me. I don't want a radical making my nations choices. Give me someone who can have abstract reasoning and grow with their country, please.

I wasn't old enough to vote. But I wouldn't have voted either. In my mind giving Hillary the vote is saying to the democratic party "yeah, keep being pro establishment corporatist shills". Which is not what's needed, what's needed is systematic change, not to keep the establishment the same it has been for years. And if they're continually given that power they have no reason to change.

Not like it matters because I'm in California. And California always goes democrat , but still.
