I like how that match-up makes more sense than Death Battle's, which was Hercule Satan vs. Dan Hibiki. Oh gee, I wonder who'll win that one :yoshi:
Death Battle doesn't make sense a whole lot of the time. *looks at Gaara vs Toph, Ryu vs Jin, Kirby vs Majin Buu, Dante vs Bayonetta, and Yang vs Tifa*

Ugh that Flare Blitz was meant to be to the left. How the heck did I mess up that badly?

Yamcha vs. Dan makes more sense than Hercule vs. Dan?

The **** are you smoking?

Yamcha is a jobber, but he's actually not pathetic. The problem is the opponents keep escalating in power to the point where NOW only Goku and Vegeta are really "relevant" among the main cast of fighters.
Gohan would be too except he's not fighting as much anymore.
Yamcha's also taken relatively seriously because for a while he was on par with everyone who wasn't Goku. The only reason he's a joke now is because he's pretty much given up on even trying to catch up. He knows he can't.

Hercule however is outclassed by everyone who isn't just a normal human. And is taken as a joke.
THAT'S why he's the perfect opponent for Dan.
The two are considered jokes in-universe. And in fighters, both characters ARE Joke Characters.
Yamcha isn't.

Playing in arena matches is so much more stressful for some reason. Probably because I kind of know the players I'm up against.

My heartrate is up pretty high after those last two matches.

Yamcha isn't.
The thing about Mr Satan is that he is, in fact, very strong. He's been shown pulling buses, tearing phone-books and breaking tiles, all real-world strength feats, he's even won at least one or two World Martial Arts tournaments legitimately (the tournaments the Z Fighters weren't there for because they were dead (Namek arc) and preparing for the Androids at the time (Android arc), respectively).

His main issue is that he can't use Ki (and in fact refuses to learn it according to backstory given by Toriyama).

He's a joke only compared to the main characters of Dragon Ball, when stacked up against ordinary people, he's actually really powerful (case in point, his showing against the two gunners in the Buu arc).

Yamcha is only a joke in terms of real world reputation, he's absolutely capable of blowing up the planet with relative ease if he wants to (he's stronger than Saiyan arc Vegeta, who was capable of doing this). The characters of Dragon Ball are super scary if you think about it.

Serious answer is that Dan loses.

Because Yamcha is actually meant to be strong, unlike Dan.
Probably the perfect opportunity to post these fights:

Now, no one else post videos.

LOOK at these feats. Dan has problems hip throwing opponents and can barely form a Hadouken.

There's that amazing edgeguard I was talking about by the way.
I just submitted this to The Salt Is Real. Here's to hoping it gets in.

Well, when you do go to sleep, sleep well. . .?

Crap that sounded creepy.
Edit: Also, what Shroob Shroob said.
Venting is good for you, and I’ll be open for another few hours.

I just had 8 level 9 CPUs with 99 stocks go at it for the past hour.

One of them was Plant.

Plant won.

Funny you mention that because Yamcha was actually the third person in the series to use the Kamehameha, I believe, and just like Goku I'm fairly sure he learned it by watching Roshi do it and not by being directly taught.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking of the Kamehameha, how do Grandpa Gohan and Goku Black know how to do it?

Cell I can get, because it's entirely likely Gero's computer analyzed the poses needed for the special techniques and programmed them into Cell when he was being made. Gohan might have seen Roshi practising it, but he had to have seen it's early stages so it should have been an incomplete version (unless he somehow completed the technique on his own, and came to the exact same end result Roshi did)

Goku Black shouldn't be using the Kamehameha. When he started using it he had never actually seen Goku do it,

How the hell does KIRBY have lore this deep. Are.... Are Kirby and Dark Matter different dimension incarnations of Void that are fated to fight each other forever?

Yeah, same.

I wanted to sleep tonight, but schoolwork is gonna make today an all-nighter.

I hate pulling all-nighters. The only reason I'm doing one today is because it's Sat/Sunday, so I can afford to do so.

Oh God, you have no ****ing idea how deep Kirby lore is. Kirby 64 has a planet that is literally earth that is frozen over and taken over by robots that make machines and other robots.

Edit: and then you can go down the rabbit hole of Zero Two and that's just... wild.

Oh, I know about Shiver Star and all that.

But the connection to Void is like...


"Well, ****. Is Kirb like an incarnation of Void from another Dimension? Are Kirb and Void the same entity?"

Oh there was an arena here today o.o Guess I'll have to check out the next one :C

Instead, I played some of the saltiest games of Smash I've ever had with my brother. His salt. He was really excited for Simon before the game came out, but since then he's put a lot of time into him only to discover that Simon isn't that good. Or, at least, not that good unless you absolutely master him, which might take him a long time with no guarantee he ever will.

On top of that, two of his previous mains from Smash 4, Mewtwo and Pikachu, got some changes that he doesn't seem to like, so he hasn't enjoyed playing them, either. In Smash 4, he was actually damn good with those two, to the point that sometimes he'd be able to totally crush me, hence why his struggles in Ultimate are so upsetting for him.

He picked up Ike, since Ike is really good in this game and doesn't seem to bother him, but there was still a lot of salt even when he was playing him. He started playing Samus recently, too, but my Samus game is way ahead of his, so I know how to outplay him. Zelda's another character he liked playing in 4 and still in this game, but he can't seem to play her consistently well in Ultimate, either, so that's troubled him.

He also takes issue with the way the game handles inputs. The buffer system is different from Smash 4, and I guess he really relied on the old system, because he's constantly complaining about strange inputs or inputs not reading. In particular he wishes that he could turn off smash attacks being performed with the control stick and A. I don't really have the same issues he does, or at least don't complain about it.

Today it reached a head where he wanted to play, but after a dozen matches he was just getting so upset that it was starting to become more uncomfortable than usual. Often times when he gets like that, he starts picking random stages and random characters, since what he chooses himself doesn't work well, so he lets the game choose.

At one point he wound up with Pokemon Trainer, a character he was excited about before the game launched, but completely forgot about after a certain point. And he did well, with almost no complaints, and was having a much better time. Pokemon Fire Red is one of his favorite games of all time, hence is pre-release excitement for the return of Pokemon Trainer, but now he rediscovered it. He finally started winning a few games, actually.

Of course, I pulled out Dark Samus and stomped him, but he's going to start practicing Pokemon Trainer more, and it seems that his enjoyment of the game has returned, so I'm glad. Because my primary enjoyment of Super Smash Bros. is playing it, well, with my brothers, and one of mine not being able to do well/enjoy the game was a problem. Normally there's three of us, meaning that matches are less focused and intense between two people, but since the other one goes to a college that's 6+ hours away, he's only around during breaks and holidays.

Which means that when he's not around most of the year, playing Smash at home is me playing against the one that's still here, 1v1, while he's been struggling to enjoy the game for the past few weeks, and that's not good. Now hopefully he'll be able to really compete and have fun like he used to.

There's a theory that Void is Kirby but instead of growing up in a dimension/timeline like Kirby's, where Kirby wakes up to friends and green fields and happy days, Void was born in a much different dimension/timeline that was full of hate and malice and so Kirby of that timeline became Void.

Alright, I was going to post this yesterday, but I felt as if it would be jarring considering the topics going on in this thread, but I was on Twitter yesterday, and I've noticed that there were people still upset over Isabelle, Incineroar, Plant, and the Grinch in general.

So, I'm curious, are you guys still upset over the final 4, or the "what-could-have-been" of the Grinch? Not trying to have any malicious intent with this, just an honest question.
Incineroar, yes. Isabelle, I was never mad at, and Piranha Plant, I accepted fairly easily. The Grinch leak I hoped was true, because a more substantial newcomer count is what I wanted from a Smash sequel.
still can't believe some people are really out here being 15
I was 13 when I joined.
What is everyone's favorite Mario and Luigi game?
Only played Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions...and I'm still pretty early in it.

I'm very fond of Isabelle, so I wasn't upset over her inclusion. Incieneroar made quite a few people I know very happy and was a fun addition overall. And PP was just a delightful surprise compared to the very sensible base roster.

So, no, I actually prefer what we got to the Grinch leak, not to mention it had an implausible amount of newcomers to begin with.
