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

[Scoliosis Jones]

So i’ve been trying to get the achievements for beating Storm Rising on Legendary. This is the event currently running for Overwatch, and is similar to the one at this time for the previous 2 years. Each time, after working at it with friends, i’ve been usually able to get it.

In the meantime, until these friends get on, I have been attempting it with randoms online. Now, I get that playing without talking on a mic is complicated for a team based game. I’m also fortunate that I have at least 2 Heroes that I can play competently as they’re my mains (Tracer and Mercy). However, for a game that rewards acting as a team, there are some remarkably boneheaded players on this game.

For example, a heavy drops down in the center. It carries and fires two gatling guns, and is effectively an armored tank. It takes awhile to go down, and when 2 of the 4 characters in the squad are squishy you would think when Winston or Mercy say, “Group up!” the Genji and Tracer would say “Ok!” and then get out of the open space and behind a wall so that they don’t get wrecked by it.

It’s not like that’s a brilliant strategy. It’s literally basic knowledge that if something is shooting at you, you take cover. I simply don’t get what is so complicated about that aside from people wanting to be the cool cyborg ninja that dies instantly to a Gatling gun.

Don’t mind me, just checking to see if the thread’s still alive...

EDIT: Why do I always post this too late?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Man, one user really made this much of a difference on how much the thread would be thriving, huh?

 

[Deleted member]

Threadly reminder that yes he's in.

Gaaaaah I haaaate storms

Nothing but heavy rain and lightning in my area too. I'm sure it's just the audience watching Endgame, no big deal.

Oh Snap! A challenger approaches!

Threadly reminder that yes he's in.

No he's not!

You need to . . . snap out of it.

Let him in....

LET HIM INNNNNN!

 

[KarneraMythos]

Guys, bringing attention to Faygoshill's ban is only going to become a point of derision to those who carry that responsibility. Just continue speaking fondly of him in his temporary absence and act like he's here (or so far away in the Himalayas or something that he's texting us randomly to share his ****posts for him).

 

[Deleted member]

Since thread is dead, let me use this time to talk about that cool delayed blood explosion effect. You know the one they use in anime and games all the time, including Joker's All-Out Attack

Spoiler: Fake blood warning I guess

"The so-called “blood explosion” which punctuates the conclusion of Akira Kurosawa’s 1962 movie Sanjuro remains one of the most memorable and influential special effects in film history.
Production designer Yoshiro Muraki would later recall this scene was filmed in a single take. No such effect had ever been attempted before, as movies of the time rarely showed violence with graphic detail. Filled with uncertainty, Muraki worried the blood spray he’d rigged up wouldn’t impress Kurosawa, so he added an extra 30 pounds of pressure to the fluid pump. At the moment the pump was activated, the additional pressure caused the compressor hose attached to actor Tatsuya Nakadai to blow a coupling which created a slight, unintentional delay before the fake blood began to spray, and caused a much larger gush of fluid than planned. It sprayed so powerfully Nakadai claimed it almost lifted him off the ground. His heart sinking, as he believed the delay and over-pressure had ruined the effect, Muraki nervously glanced at director Akira Kurosawa, but Kurosawa only nodded in approval."

 

[redfeatherraven]

Y'all getting antsy at a little inactivity.

You merely adopted the quiet.

I was born in the silence, molded by it.

I didn't see a ****post until I was already a man.

This, and i’m sure you all can come up with stuff to talk about. Faygo posted quite a bit, but they were a lot of ****posts. We can come up with plenty to discuss.

1) Your day so far
2) Your favorite game
3) Smash Bros
4) Games you’re interested in but aren’t sure about playing yet

There’s many more things to list, but i’ll stop there. You guys are creative enough.

That's a cool bit of trivia.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Reminds me that I actually thought of ideas for full Nintendo representation in future Project X Zone games.

Spoiler: Pair Units

Legend of Zelda: Zelda & Impa
Kid Icarus: Pit and Dark Pit
Shin Onigashima Kouhen: Donbe & Hikari
Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru: Prince of Sablé
Fire Emblem: Roy and Lyn, Alm & Celica,
Sin & Punishment: Saki and Airan
Golden Sun: Isaac and Felix
Zangeki no Reginleiv: Frey and Freya
Xenoblade Chronicles: Rex & Pyra, Nia & Dromarch,
ARMS: Spring Man and Ribbon Girl

Spoiler: Solo Units

Legend of Zelda: Link (uses Navi to communicate)
Metroid: Samus Aran
Punch Out: Little Mac (uses Doc Louis to communicate)
Kid Icarus: Magnus, Phosphora
The Mysterious Murasame Castle: Takamaru
Advance Wars: Andy
F-Zero: Captain Falcon
Fire Emblem: Marth, Ike, Tiki
Custom Robo: Ray MK III
Captain Rainbow: Captain Rainbow
Xenoblade Chronicles: Elma

I always felt like Isaac and Saki would make great solo units. The animations being lifted straight from their assist trophy animations.

Guys, @faygoshill was automatically handed a temporary ban because he'd gotten too many infractions for various times he toed the line too closely. No mod actually banned him, he just collected six before any of them expired and then that's what the forum does. He'll be back when the first of those infractions expires, which is soon.

Please stop with the #freefaygo or whatever. It's just an automatic process. This is what infractions are for and why y'all should try not to get them.

 

[Just a penguin]

His Thanos persona went too far, I suppose.

There's a storm over here, so I'm pretty much stuck home until the rain and thunder stops. Also, no Avengers for me for a while, so bad day by default >:v

I guess Xenoblade 2 would be my favorite based on investment toward it and how much it influenced game-based discussions for me. There's just so much to it that I can go on talking about it positively.

We've pretty much exhausted all talk besides Sword!Gohan, 5ch leaks, hypothetical fighter's passes, and one blocky boi.

I'm interested in Sword & Shield, but I wanna wait and see if all the stuff they do with the games is worth purchasing them. I want the same quality meat that Black & White came with.

I mean I want Isaac to do a lot more with Venus Psyenergy. I guess it would depend on what the developers would think is best but I still think they could do their assist attacks and stuff even in pairs.

 

[Will]

Are people just oblivious to how the ban system works? I thought it was just a meme but I guess it just be that way.

 

[redfeatherraven]

1) Your day so far

Waking up far too early on a workday. Slight anxiety and depressive concerns. Sorting a bunch of downloaded stuff. Chili. Putting off journalling for the third or fourth time in a row. Missing some people. A few other things I refuse to disclose.

Normal Friday.

2) Your favorite game

If I had to pick the one nearest and dearest to my heart personally, it'd be Wild Arms.

But I couldn't rightly call it my favorite (BotW and P5 both rank higher there, for example) and as I like different games for different reasons I'd be hard pressed to come up with one I could.

3) Smash Bros

**** yeah Smash Bros.

4) Games you’re interested in but aren’t sure about playing yet

Don't have any presently.

Open to suggestion.

Pretty cool to learn that, I’m surprised how a lot of iconic moments and scenes happen by complete accident.

That reminds me, in my Sonic fighting game ideas I had Joker also do an all-out attack for his level 3 special and I had in mind instead of blood it would be so the opponent would lose rings like in the Sonic games instead.

Lazy, I'm being lazy all day I just woke up in fact I'm gonna go see Endgame on Monday which is exciting.

Mother 3 & SMRPG, Those games are absolutely fantastic.

I want Geno in Smash but Erdrick will get in but Joker is fun, I like him.

I want to play the Resident Evil franchise but I don't have any console that would play it except for my laptop and that doesn't work at all, I'm waiting for them to be dropped on the E-Shop to pick them up.

1. Watched the Endgame, still trying to recover. Otherwise it wasn't exciting, but I don't get out of my room too often so that was a nice change of pace.
2. Ultimate decrowned Brawl in terms of gameplay. Though my favorite video game story is still Persona 3, with 4 as a close second.
3. So why Corrin promoting a game is a bad thing but Joker not promoting a game is also a bad thing?
4. Not sure if Cyber Shadow is worth it, but I might pick it up in summer.

My question: What's your favorite stage and why it is Mementos?

 

[KMDP]

How we didn't see that earlier...

The day is saved, thanks to the Persona Girls! Kasumi, Ann and Makoto!

Does that mean Futaba is Dexter?

 

[Will]

no one likes fire emblem

everyone loves anime batman joestar

this is common knowledge

Come on I think everyone here knows by now that my most wanted character is without a doubt Geno.

You are not too afraid to bring it up, though.

case in point

 

[TJ919]

Nuh uh uh, not what I said me boi. A character without support--that you're too scared to admit you want for Smash. Everybody wants Geno, there will be a real life Purge if no Geno
