Guide Zelda Social: But also the FE Heroes Internet Cafe

[r_greening1]

I've said it before, but I still strongly believe that Nintendo made a grave mistake when they switched from sprites to models
y

I like the models

So... Juri's theme in Street Fighter V. It's... weird? It's not weird like Laura's where because you don't happen to listen to a style of music or instruments a lot, you're just unfamiliar with it, but weird in a sense that it kind of does and doesn't fit Juri. It's dark, low, and a bit twisted in a way that says Juri, but it's not as menacing or in your face like her SFIV theme which itself while menacing, sort of felt cheesy in a Saturday cartoon super villain way. That being said, her SFV does fit her "portrayal". Plot-wise, she pops up out of nowhere, her outfit is this catsuit you'd expect from stealth scenario or just because you want someone sexy and on a bike and Juri does both. So, it's spider-y and in a I'm gonna hunt you down and you won't know where I'll be versus her SFIV one which was spider-y in a "SPIDERS! SPIDERS EVERYWHERE" or spiders running towards you way. I don't know, her theme's fine, but it doesn't make me think of Juri until her the "Juri riff" plays. It reminds me and someone said it in one of the videos, like a villain's nightclub song. For me, replace villain with another "V" word: vampire. Juri's SFVI theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqJayyoVKsk and Juri's SFV theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiNsYV17HZo.

I like her new theme

Megas are the worst addition to the game, bar none

I like megas they were over-centralizing tho

 

[Lorde]

Don't try to make "fetch" a thing, Gretchen.

 

[r_greening1]

@SpiralGalaxies back me up gorl

 

[Koiba]

But I don't think any pokemon game made me as bored as I did when I played AlphaSapphire though

I mean. it looks pretty and all but bleh

 

[Burgundy]

Oh 6th gen discussions
I thought Kalos was ok but they rushed the story so much
Like there literally was no buildup to the climax when Lysandre just went
"Yeah we're just gonna blow the planet up lol"
Diantha was spoken to TWICE before the fight with her
Like it was literally impossible not to guess she was the Champion
She even had a pink text box
Mega's were a cool idea for bringing back old Pokemon into the spotlight but I don't want them to take the place of an actual evolution. And I'd prefer if they had kept access to it exclusive to post game.
Also I hate the new EXP. Share. The game difficulty would have been fine if they didn't change that mechanic.
Other than that XY was ok. Great music and the Fairy types~
As for ORAS...ehh. I like that Hoenn came back but they changed too much. They basically shoe-horned Mega Evolution in, just gave you a Lati for no reason, took away the Battle Frontier (though they were nice enough to remix the theme at least), and just threw a bunch of legendaries in for no reason.
Again though, great music, they gave Wally more significance, and the Rival finally evolved their goddamn starter.
Hopefully Gen 7 will be a lot better

Ok, RE: RE: RE: RE:

I did play TvC, but I have played nearly every single FG ever created. I loved the concept of Volnutt there, and the Roll redesign from MvC. Though Jun was my main and pretty much switched her partner all the time. It is the game that made me hate Zero.

I liked megas because they made some of my favorite mons relevant (Mawile ). And then there are interesting mechanics behind them as well as a lot of strategies, at least in the VGC meta.
Though, a lot of them have lame designs, and some others are a bit OP (M-Khan).

I did not like Fairies because Sableye now has a grand total of 1 weakness instead of 0.
Other than that they're fine I guess, except its strengths and weaknesses make no sense, not in a non-meta viewpoint.

XY was a disappointing game, story-wise. ORAS was disappointing too, but this one because its only value was as a metagame update. SM isn't looking much better, just an attempt to refresh the series, again.


The Raticate Sass army to conquest Johto! Let's do this!

 

[Y2Kay]

Am I the only one who like ORAS?

I had a copy of emerald when I was 6 but never got passed gym 4 and don't have many memories of it.

Plots of pokemon games have never really been that good, XY was the king of cringy.

But I dont think any of the pokemon games are bad. but HGSS / Platinum where high points of the series.

I like it too- I just realized you quoted 3 people and answered with "I like..." to all of them. I bet you like everything.

Edit: KoF XIV-related, I love that Yuri's Climax ends with her in her KoF XIII's win pose. Goofy grin.

Nah I like ORAS. I have a lot of fond memories of Emerald, and ORAS was a big nostalgia trip. But they changed too much for me to like it over the originals honestly
I'll play Emerald if I want to play through Hoenn again

 

[Ffamran]

I wonder if anyone remembers Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

 

[Burgundy]

I wonder if anyone remembers Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

One of the few good shows safe from the Cartoon Network Reboot™
Y'know
They take an old, good show from our childhoods, gives it to the same person to draw it all, gives it the same style of humor as every other show on CN, and BAM you got a show

 

[BJN39]

I liked megas because they made some of my favorite mons relevant (Mawile ).

Megas did not make Mawile relevant

They just made it so Mawile can turn into a pseudo-legendary at the cost of an item. Mawile haself is more irrelevant than ever. Only now they can ignore her even more because "she has a mega now."

On top of that M-Mawile already had to get bopped up to ubers or w/e, so it was a waste of time imo

I wanted MawileBuffs, for Mawile, not two-chomper brokewile.

Though seeing that some megas actually get base stat nerfs upon transformation (see: sableye's base speed) gives me hope that one day they still might address Mawile's abysmal health and speed stats. They buffed various gen-1 pokes base stats in gen 5-6.

Also for crap's sake just give Maractus a non-grass-type special attack pls.

 

[r_greening1]

I like it too- I just realized you quoted 3 people and answered with "I like..." to all of them. I bet you like everything.

I don't like Ben Stiller. He's not funny. I don't like Amy Schumer. She's not funny. I don't like In Bruges. I thought it was boring. I don't like Jurassic Park or Indiana Jones, I think they're both boring. I don't like Pokemon. I think they're childish. I don't like the IT Crowd. I think its poorly written, poorly acted and poorly directed. I'm not a big fan of Sean Connery. He seems to play himself in every movie he's in. Same with Michael Caine. I haven't seen the US version of The Office, but every scene I've been shown plays out in a very uninteresting and unfunny manner. I look down on people who have numbers in their email addresses, especially if its the year of their birth. I don't watch cat videos and I think little of people who do and less of people who joke about doing it, whether they actually do or not. Superhero movies suck, including all of the Avengers franchise. There are only three or four which don't suck and they haven't been made recently. Guardians of the Galaxy, for example, was tedious and so uninteresting I turned it off after they made part of a prison fly away. Pacific Rim is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. No argument I've seen in its favour has convinced me otherwise; it just sucks. I haven't seen the new Star Wars movie because I have no interest in it. Looking at pictures of actors or actresses outside of the movies they're in seems unnatural to me and I don't know why people do it. Looking at a smartphone screen while on the toilet or waiting for a bus is not preferable to looking at the wall or the horizon. People who throw birthday parties for one year old children make me queasy. People who complain about people who iz joek believe in a religion are worse than people who believe in a religion. I think that if there are no good movies "out now" you should find a good one that was made a while ago and watch that. I've never read any Harry Potter books because I'm not interested in them. I did see the first movie, but I thought it wasn't very good. I realise the books and movies are different, but I have no interest in either anyway. I also saw the first Lord of the Rings, but had no interest in watching the others or reading the books. Same with the Hobbit. Just doesn't interest me. The TV show Firefly seemed to be filled with clichéd, uninteresting characters in uninteresting situations, so I stopped watching it. I think people who fawn over things that Joss Whedon does need to grow up or learn how to control themselves. Family Guy is better than American Dad, but both are awful anyway so its not really a competition. Pets aren't interesting. You can just buy one at the store whenever you want to. People with neat houses are generally boring people. Coldplay make music for old ladies who find U2 too challenging. Bill Murray is only sometimes funny. Steve Martin is only sometimes funny. Two for the price of one is the same as buy one get one free. I don't understand why there are two terms for the same thing. If you wait in a long queue and aren't sure what you want when you get to the counter, you should be kicked in the nuts until you die. Rich people are generally unpleasant to be around. If you potentially extend your life by eating some unnecessary diet that makes your quality of life worse, why would you bother? You can do sit ups, star jumps and most other exercises at home. You don't need to go to a park. If you wear pyjamas to a supermarket, to after 9AM or before 9PM, there's something wrong with you. If you do that to get anything greater than two items, then you should still be ashamed. Coffee is a drug. Saying you need it in the morning or you just can't function because you're just not yourself is no different in tone than if you replaced the word coffee with the term heroin fix. If you're at that stage, your brain is using you to get itself coffee. Not eating chocolate for three days doesn't mean you're on a cleanse. The last question on a high school exit exam should be to name the difference between their, there and they're and you're and your. If you don't know what they are, you should be embarrassed and ridiculed. It's not a hugely difficult concept to grasp and you shouldn't be allowed to call yourself an adult if you can't even grasp that. If you don't know how something works, find out. If you have to ask someone, listen to them. If you're wilfully ignorant, you are undeserving of help. If you tell anyone except your own doctor what you did in the bathroom, you should have your mouth stapled shut until you can learn to be a bit more selective with the topics of conversation you think are appropriate. Those pictures people hang in their houses showing geometric representations of deer heads aren't art. They're only one step removed from being as tacky as a plastic mounted bass that sings when you clap at it. If you get gilded, don't edit the comment with thanks. The original comment was what got gilded, not the original comment plus some other praise be unto anonymous strangers garbage that's tacked onto the end. Have you ever enjoyed reading one of those edits? No? Then don't add one to your own comment. They're detritus and you should be able to revoke the gilding if some prickwit who is so devoid of attention feels like he has to thank the ether that he was recognised.

Time to get a new email address...

Don't even joke about Indiana Jones man.


Except the 2nd one, you can make fun of that one all you want.

 

[Virtue]

I've got it covered:

 

[McKnightlíght]

That is the first Zelda Social title inspired by me.

Actually it was inspired by Spritzee's nuzlocke.

Yew were doing a nuzlocke evan??

Gurl. pls. I respecT yew, but I don't care about Smogon sending everything to Ubers, so I only play VGC.

M-Mawile was a fine mon in the XY VGC, outclassed since M-Khan existed, but a fine choice with great typing.

That is, until Landorus was made available.
**** LANDORUS.
I'm pretty sure that the weather trio (well, duo since Tornadus is pmuch irrelevant) ruined the meta. At least they ruined my fun with the game.

Well tbf I'm not that kept up with competitive Pokemon. All I knew is that SOMEWHERE Mega Mawile got bopped upwards for ha antics.

Hex I still need to figure out what the letters VGC actually stand for outside of "some competitive Pokemon stuff something"

That said real Mawile is still irrelevanT and thaT's the part that mattered.

 

[Virtue]

It stands for "Video Game Championships." So unless you were really into Pokemon, you can't even tell that it's Pokemon by the name.

**** LANDORUS.

This is no good, I don't feel relieved after typing it.

A S T E R I S K S LANDORUS

There, much better.

 

[Y2Kay]

VGC 2016 is boring and easy for me. Put together a team and had an 80% win rate. I got bored though, I love the idea of using a banned legendary but I am so tired of the Primals. Ugghhh.

 

[ぱみゅ]

Hopefully, VGC'17 will be region-locked like '14 was, and we will see a wide variety of strats.
Hopefully.

 

[Y2Kay]

Oh wait, I forgot the worst thing about VGC16: Dark Void Smeargle.

Ironically, I used Magic Bounce Scarf to deal with them.

 

[Rickster]

I don't remember if I mentioned this or not but speaking of Brawl, I know Rickster and @TriforceOfWisdom can vouch for me when i say this:

After some time, my disc got really beaten and scratched up. It stills works fine to this day, only problem is some stages and characters crash my game.

One of the characters is Zelda.

She's so broken she actually crashes my game.

Omg remember how I would subconsciously switch from Sheik to Zelda? Then like 5 seconds later

There was a connection error.

Good times

I hate fighting through all of the swimmers and wild encounters while surfing to islands... Always my least favorite part of the game. But I got a new gorl.

Route 40: lvl 11 Tentacool
Nickname: Virtue

Literally why I stopped playing Alpha Sapphire. The ocean trauma is too much

 

[EODM07]

Morning girls. How's everyone doing?

Finally got to cleaning my room, feels much better after doing all that.
And I see we're all talking about Pokemon.

I quite liked Gen 6, it brought the new Fairy Typing, fixed some issues like Steel being able to somehow resist Dark Type moves.
And I will say, I did enjoy the Friend Safari. It was a great way to get as many Pokemon with unique abilities from there. Like Protean Greninja and Gale Wings Talonflame for example. And the Megas were neat too, especially the likes of Mawile, and thanks to Megas, Charizard is now viable in competitive and now has options too, either a full on Physical Sweeper with X or a Special Sweeper with Y. And this is coming from someone who is trying to get into VGC, but damn is breeding such a hassle; I'm glad that we'll be getting an easier way to get all the IVs that we want now in Gen 7. It's going to feel much better. <3

Spoiler: Yuri pic of the day~

 

[Buddhahobo]

I don't really know what you gorls are talking about. ORAS was the only redeeming thing that came out of Hoenn.

Sure it didn't have the Battle Frontier, but neither did Ruby and Sapphire.

Making me of all people acknowledge that Gen III existsedand GSC doesn't go straight to platinum was something I never thought possible.

X and Y were bland as **** though, outside of the surprisingly touching Looker episodes and the HUGE pokedex.

Platinum was probably the best game so far, imo. Great dex, looks nice even though it's using the Gen IV engine, best script out of the mainline games, no stupid as **** characters that littered Gen V and VI...

Why is this man in jail

Public indecency and assault.

Here is a 95% reenactment of the deed itself (Only 95% because pants were added to the video in post-process)

Savage.

 

[Berserker.]

got a young genji skin from a random loot box

thank you rng gods

 

[ZephyrZ]

I like how XY replaced the pokemon sprites with models. They handled it well, I feel. If they tried to make it realistic or something I would have a problem, but I think they captured the light-hearted, cartoony feel well.

As far as Mega Evolutions go...I've got mixed feelings about their designs as a whole. I absolutely love some of them, but I dislike others. I absolutely hate the Mega Mewtwos, though. Neither of them really captures what I love about the original one. I guess I kind of like Mega Mewtwo X's depiction in Pokken tournament, but I really dislike it in anything else. There are still others I love though, like Mega Venusaur and Mega Sableye. I also enjoyed their impact on the competitive scene. With a few odd exceptions, I feel that they were pretty well balanced by their limitations and added an interesting twist to the metagame. I don't play competitive Pokemon as much as I used to though, so I can't go that in-depth on it.

And as for the main story? The experience share is overpowered to. I suppose you can turn it off for a "hard mode", but they game doesn't try to recommend it or anything. I only thought of that possibility well after I finished my playthrough of Y.

 

[FullMoon]

I actually got Young Genji two days ago too.

Sparrow is better tho.

 

[Lorde]

Young Genji, Sparrow, Young Master, and Young Hanzo are basically the grossest skins in the game and should be removed

If you want to play Genji or Hanzo, use Carbon Fiber/Chrome/literally anything else and Cloud, respectively.

 

[ElderLolz]

Just got a bunch of footage for my next Zelda montage, BAN•ZELDA•2 is on the way.

Well my kitten figured out how to open cabinet doors. It was only a matter of time.

If there's anything I agree on, it's that the Young Hanzo skin sucks ****

Getting better with Ana. Loving the new (minor but meaningful) buffs for her. She's DEFINITELY replacing Mercy for my main support
