Neither does my Rathling Gun.

Those hitboxes are massive though.
Yeah LMAO

They're honestly perfectly fair though, they're as big as they are to emphasise the importance of maintaining specific positions.


Also you should try Pierce S on Plesioth, thank me later.

Pierce S works best when you're parallel with its frame, which possibly means it's looking right at you, which also means you might be blasted in the face with a laser. And those lasers hurt.

I prefer Normal 3 and Flaming S myself. Fish don't care too much for fire, you know.

Even shooting across from fin to fin gets 4-5 hits lol, but laser is so easy to avoid it's not even a worry anyway.

It is a realistic portrait of myself, as a queen, which only adds to the realism.

Hinata is a character in Fire Emblem Fates that I've grown to like over the past few months; in fact, he's become one of my favorites from the game. He's quite the lovable character with a good number of very enjoyable support conversations. There's also a lack of Hinata avatars online, so I thought I'd give Hinata some love by making my avatar for the time being.

I updated my profile picture because my brother downloaded a PS4 game with my most favorite character (#1) and I'm really ashamed that I've forgotten about him up until that point.

What. The. F**********K.

Just when I start to think the Blaster Master series is dead and gone, Inti Creates decides to pull this rabbit out of their hat and dangle it in front of me.

Am I dreaming?

Anyway, I'm very much looking forward to this one, so yeah, new avatar to commemorate my excitement.

I've been playing Final Fantasy IX recently and Freya eventually became my favorite character in that game.

Sans is my favorite Undertale character. He's a character I can relate to on a few levels, and he's got a great personality.

I drew This Profile pic, I like to doodle but I'm not very good at serious stuff.

As you can see my Main is Olimar, lol, and I enjoy Pikmin.

I chose Near from Death Note, one of my favorite manga series. He's a young whiz, so I could relate, too. Plus, who doesn't like white hair?

As you may know, the man in the image is James Rolfe from Cinemassacre, best known as the Angry Video Game Nerd. I chose this picture as he seems disgusted with whatever I post, as if I would commit such a hideous act. I guess he's a bit of a bigot?

Previously, I put up Asuka Kazama in her schoolgirl outfit as my profile pic 'cause it looks hot and I delectate in picking on her in that outfit in Tekken 5. My favorite character there is Mokujin, but I digress.

Now I have Dark Magician Girl as my avatar since I've been a YuGiOh fan since 9th grade. In the future y'all are going to see some of my Mii Fighters as my avatar...

I previously had Freya Cresent from Final Fantasy IX as my profile pic since she's my favorite character in that game.

I now have Seto Kaiba as my avatar because, like Lola Luftnagle, I've been a Yu-Gi-Oh! fan since I was in like 5th grade (I thank my little sister for introducing me to the series) and Kaiba is one of my favorite characters along with Joey and Tea.

'Ey, its yo boy Guzma!

I chose this because Guzma is my second favorite character in Pokemon Sun + Moon, next to Lillie of course! <3
The only reason Lillie fan art isn't my profile pic now is because I don't want to be mistaken for a girl xD

I picked my profile pic because when I joined in 2001, I thought it was the coolest looking one... and to be honest, I still think it is.

Big brother is watching...

I thought it looked it looked like a cover to a song you would see on Soundcloud or something.
It also was the only image I had downloaded at the time.

Surely we must all have good reasons as to why we picked our profile pictures, right? Mine is that I thought skeletons were cool, and that the only thing better than a standard skeleton is a fancy one. At least, that's what I think. So what are your reasons?
Akuma is cool

This time, my avatar is Toon Dark Magician Girl since she's adorable as a Toon monster.

This was created by deviantartist Mellon-sunrise for my YouTube account, but now I use a new image by Just-silvia of a better fitting character since my YouTube channel is horror themed

I picked mine because it is the logo of my art and illustration company. It's like a shameless plug.

I have a massive folder on my desktop filled with Latias pics. I just picked the one that looked most ready to smash.

I really like Latias ;P

Boy, I just can't make up my mind on avatars since the pics I have are far too pretty to look at. I've got Kunimitsu in her TTT2 outfit, and sweet pizza, she's looking hot there.

Okay, this time I chose Yolanda Adams since I listened to her morning show on Praise 102.5 in the past few years. Lots of gospel and inspirational music that I am never listening to rap again...well, not very often at least.

If its not obvious enough, it matches my username and I must have things match or I will implode.

(And we really don't want that happening again...)

Two-for-one special, it's Yandere-chan and the Roll Safe meme combined.

Because Chun-Li and Ling Xiaoyu are two of my favorite video game characters and I'm a sucker for female Chinese characters. :)

This is the real Lola Luftnagle right here. She's one of my favorite characters from Hannah Montana, a TV show I got into during the latter half of my senior year in high school and I still watch that show to this day.

Blackwatch Genji.

Not only is it one of the best skins I saw, it's also to commemorate the Uprising event in Overwatch.

Penelop Pitstop 'cause she was a cartoon character I adored and watched for quite some time after I graduated high school. She also has that charming southern belle accent which I've used here for quite some time.
