Also, opinions on Ravio and Yuga? They look fun, but it's...odd seeing them not-chibi

Ravio, Ravio. Give Cress! the DLCio.

 

[Buddhahobo]

I should also mention that Charizard is in the dragon egg group. So other dragons are willing to have babies with Zards.

In the same way seducing Batman does not in turn make one Batman, being an easy lay doesn't somehow make you a dragon.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I mean, if you wanted I could explain American politics to you, but I don't think anyone, including me, would appreciate it and it would probably enrage Rizen even more than I've apparently already made the gurl.

Mila's the only character I'd want to play in the DoA games.

Mila is super fun, yeah.

3D definitely lacks in the visual impact compared to some good 2D sprites. But while the impact of the hit may be less so, at least in DoA if the attack looks like it should hit, it hits. God knows I can't say that about SFV.

The DLC is absolutely outrageous, yeah, but the insane "pay through the nose for basically nothing" is pretty normal for Koei Tecmo.

Really goes to show how much Nintendo's influence / patronage means that Hyrule Warriors ended up with DLC that had so much value per buck.

It's a mere tweet that I liked. No explanation wanted.

So I've just found out who is going to be adapting a manga called "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" earlier today. It's going to be adpated by KyoAni who have worked on Haruhi Suzumiya, Sound! Euphonium, Full Metal Panic and even did a few episodes of Inuyasha while under subcontract with Sunrise.

This is going to be interesting, them actually animating yuri. Well, more or less one-sided from what I've seen. :V

there's also many people over at the lucario boards who would be willing to have babies with charizard

does that mean charizard is human type

 

[ZephyrZ]

No, because no babies would actually be born. It'd just be kind of creepy.

Though not all furries are like that.

 

[Aunt Jemima]

i have proof that says otherwise

 

[Buddhahobo]

No, because no babies would actually be born. It'd just be kind of creepy.

Inability to conceive is no reason to call a relationship creepy, Zachmac.

C'mon, it's 2016.

Hey, I never said that's why I think it's creepy.
I think it's creepy for unrelated reasons.

Though no judgement if that's what you're into.

So today I discovered that there's a petition to make Robbie Rotten President of the USA.
And it has 50 supporters

 

[Lavani]

Also, opinions on Ravio and Yuga? They look fun, but it's...odd seeing them not-chibi

Are they out already? I didn't even finish the Spirit Tracks map yet.

 

[Buddhahobo]

Are they out already? I didn't even finish the Spirit Tracks map yet.

Come out at the end of the month, we only have images. No moveset videos yet.

New map will include dual elemental weapons.

http://www.siliconera.com/2016/10/24/link-worlds-ravio-yuga-join-hyrule-warriors-october-31/

Ravio with proportional limbs does look a bit odd; sort of like the Happy Mask Salesman.

Yuga looks appropriately sinister, imo.

 

[McKnightlíght]

unlike yew, I have sTandards

[Rizen]

I'm worn out.

I guess charizard isn't a dragon like how whales aren't fish.

'_______ for president' is a meme, I think it started with Alfred E Neuman from MAD but I'm not positive.

Finally Twili Midna gets a visually pleasing costume aw yeah

 

[Cress!]

I'm a terrible Mercy that never heals her children according to my stats

Spoiler: I'm sorry team

Also @FullMoon photobombing my stats smh

 

[Lavani]

This made me think of Sm4sh players

 

[Jaguar360]

Settling on Popplio for my starter. Brionne is cute and I'm warming up to it a lot. I've always liked the leaked final evolution too, it's so majestic and pretty! So jumping of Team Litten for Popplio, just like I did with Fennekin for Froakie.

I know PoGo is supposed to be short for Pokémon Go, but I can't help but think of pogo sticks which reminds me of Yoshimitsu and Link in the Soul Calibur and Tekken games.

Spoiler: Giffies!

Speaking of 3D fighting games, decided to try out Dead or Alive 5: Last Round on PC because it's free and apparently it had an update or something, so they are running a promotion where if you download it, you can get Mila for free. Mila's the only character I'd want to play in the DoA games. Ryu Hayabusa's cool, but I'd rather play Ninja Gaiden for him.

Spoiler: Blah...

Anyway, keyboard controls for movement suck which I have a feeling has to do more with it's a 3D fighting game rather than the port itself being kind of bad. Port runs fine, but it's dated; it's based on the PS3 (and Xbox 360?) version of all things when they could have ported the x86-64-based PS4 and Xbox One version. Y'know, the version that probably would be easier to port over to PCs most of which are x86-64 based? The support on it is also really ****ty. No online lobbies -- console versions have this while PC doesn't for some reason --, so you can't play with friends, instead, you're forced to play with randoms and buying the game itself costs less than buying each character and other content -- "full game" is $39.99 while individually buying stuff is $134.99 ($3.99 per character out of 30 excluding KoF's Mai Shiranui ($7.99) and Samurai Warrior's Naotora ($5.99) + $14.99 story mode). Other DLC are just ludicrous like there are costume sets that cost more than a regular, "AAA" game -- more than $59.99. It really sucks since the game is fun and it runs fine; it's not a Saints Row 2 or Toukiden port where the game runs like ***. It's just the support is bad. Had it been better, then DoA5:LR could have established a 3D fighting game community on PC alongside having stuff like what is essentially a glorified demo for players to try out and a lower price point as an edge against Tekken 7.

That being said, I'm not serious about the game; just played it to mess around and Mila was the selling point, so okay. If I was, then cool, I can just bum off the game and use it for training purposes and play at locals... that are probably dead since apparently my region is a ghost town for fighting games.

There's also a slight issue I have with 3D fighting games out there is that some things like movement and hits seem awkward, especially movement in Soul Calibur and Tekken. This also includes fighting games that use 3D models like Mortal Kombat's hits don't have the impact you get from 2D, sprite-based ones where you can exaggerate stuff or compared to Guilty Gear Xrd, KoF XIV, Smash, Street Fighter, and Tekken where the developers were able to create a sense of impact. And other games like from what I remember, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and God of War lacked the oomph of Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. DoA's movement is different, more restricted than Tekken, keeps things from being weird and Mila, outside of me just liking how she fights, being a run of the mill MMA, kickboxer fighter makes it less of a problem since it's not like Christie pecking at you with shequan, snake-style kung fu. Eh, it's just a slight pet peeve I have with 3D fighting games.

TL;DR: First time playing a Dead or Alive game, was fun, keyboard for movement sucks, PC port and support sucks, pet peeve about 3D fighting games and other games on animation and impact.

Yeah, keyboard isn't great for DOA and I'd assume that's the case for other 3D fighters. With enough usage, it becomes doable though. I use it to play Hayate and Ayane just fine, but it hurts not being able to do Izuna drops as a Hayabusa main. I managed to get the Gamecube controller to work with the Mayflash adapter in DOA and it's pretty good as a controller.

The stripped features from the console versions really do suck. I mainly use throwdowns to play online along with the occasional ranked match.

I agree that the DLC's pretty ridiculously priced. I've only bought one costume (Hayabusa's "legacy" costume in DOA5 Ultimate when it wasn't free) and haven't bought any characters, though I'm considering Mai.

I find 2D fighter movement awkward myself haha. Probably because DOA3 was my first fighting game. I just can't figure out Street Fighter, Skullgirls or Blazblue. Soulcalibur and Virtua Fighter feel decently natural for me.

Issues with the PC version aside, DOA5 Last Round's gameplay is really mechanically sound and fun imo. I suggest that everyone try it now that the free to play version is available.

 

[EODM07]

This made me think of Sm4sh players

Okay, that got a good chuckle out of me.

 

[Rion]

I watched some of PurpleGuy's Zelda recently, particularly this one hilariously delicious match:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAnqnsBaECA

Loving the Utilts > rising Nair > upward angled Ftilt combo on Falcon though (A cool 48%, yesss). I really appreciate the work he's put into Zelda recently! A lot of the recent matches I saw were some really great Zelda play.

And then, there just really annoying, soul sucking moments like this for a Zelda player:
https://youtu.be/3oP_BVMUikQ?t=4m54s

I absolutely hate this situation with a passion, where they are just fishing for a really obvious, almost obnoxious kill- but Zelda's options are all just too slow to capitalize with even with a perfect shield or successful prediction. I have to give Ed props here for being so patient with those power shields haha.

It's a situation like that where I am reminded of the importance of option select powershielding- which I feel is extremely important for Zelda (or any character really). Basically if you powershield an incoming attack and buffer your own attack- it will do one of two things:

• Option 1 (successful powershield):

You successfully powershield the attack- then your buffered attack immediately comes out in retaliation.

• Option 2 (attack from opponent misses your shield):

Your buffered attack will not come out, and you will simply drop shield.

This video does a very good job of showing how it works:
https://youtu.be/0OXEavm5KkY?t=22s

Then there's this interesting article that delves even deeper into it and discusses even more option selects such as maintaining shield instead of shield dropping / spotdodging:
http://www.tourneylocator.com/articles/2016/5/10/smash-4-perfect-shield-option-selects

Zelda specific research in need perhaps?

 

[Buddhahobo]

I am continually amazed at my ability, when guessing on a 50/50 question, to get it wrong without fail.

I swear the joy of never having to take a midterm or final again may just be what decides if I try for the Ph.D or not.

Finally Twili Midna gets a visually pleasing costume aw yeah

It definitely looks great, yeah.

I wish the costumes weren't unlockables, tbh; it would definitely get me to play the game more if I could just change how the character looked, especially on maps that just weren't balanced well in terms of items. Still on the Wind Waker map of all things because of that; like 3/4ths of the map all require the same damn item. There should be a better natural progression of what you end up gaining relative what you need to reveal all the good stuff.

 

[Lil Puddin]

Nah man T. Zelda is mediocre at best don't you know
She can't even do Giant Bosses amiright :^)

Also, opinions on Ravio and Yuga? They look fun, but it's...odd seeing them not-chibi

I agree. Very odd. I was kind of hoping Ravio would end up in Hyrule Warriors.

Also, like, whoa. I'm kind of impressed how long Hyrule Warriors is being supported. I'm kind of used to Nintendo games having 1 or 2 DLC things, but fizzle out within a year or so. I still have the Wii U version and never migrated to the 3DS yet. Kinda wanna play, but that time playing a single player game can be used playing Overwatch and amassing more loot boxes. Sooooooooo... Ye.

 

[JayE]

Hyrule Warriors is a great game imo and is a deep game with tons of content. I haven't seen anyone 100% the game, but it would probably take hundreds of hours to complete everything including all the DLC. I played it a ton, but I stopped playing it. Not because it was boring, but because the game got a bit tedious after a while. And of course, there are so many other games to play as well. Like I mentioned, Hyrule Warriors is massive, and I guess that kinda made me stray away from it for a bit. You have to invest a lot of time and effort to really get into Hyrule Warriors. I hope to get back into it soon though.

I just wish Vaati could be a DLC character. Minish Cap is an underrated Zelda game that doesn't get enough love

 

[Cress!]

I haven't seen anyone 100% the game

Hi
It took 650 hours, but I've added over 100 more hours since then.

Also reminder that New Leaf is getting DLC soon and it turns 4 years old in Japan in 2 weeks.

Oh nice! Thats some feat that isn't easy. There is definitely people who have completed it, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes.
also thats crazy ACNL is almost 4 years old. Great game

In other news, the new PoGo Halloween candypalooza decided to start up a bit early, like, this evening instead of tomorrow. Not that I mind at all! I was jusT on my way to the mall anyways.

Spoiler

So I was a little apprehensive thinking of INCREASED spawns in my area, because they are literally everywhere already,

But then the 70% spawn rate was entirely replaced by

Fun story: though not advertised, + also received drastic spawn rate increases in my area as well! is particularly uncommon in my area, so that's neat. Made sure to collect as many as i could to take advantage.

I was...actually jarred by how thoroughly the spawns were replaced by "spooky" pokemon. There is almost nothing out but ... it might get old really quick, but we'll see.

Now for my actual rough candy results tho, they're rather insane. 250 candies. Yes, that many in 1.5 hrs. 8 candies every catch-transfer is nutty lol. Also got 100 candies. Needless to say I'll be stocked on those for when the event ends...

I also got a some candies too. Something like 30 candies.

As a bonus, I hatched my first egg during the event for an easy 38 candies. 5km hatches are going to be insane. (I only wish I had a 10km egg...supposedly a potential 70 freaking candies at maximum during this 2x candy event.) On top of this, I'm inches from lvl25, where I'll get 2 incubators, and I can go for 3 eggs at a time for a bit. CANDY INSANITY.

Also got my first 3 candies as well didn't get many votes here, but Lapras won, so she will geT many candies this week.

It was a bountiful night, and I'm now rather low on pokeballs...but tonight....is only the first

...Eaux wait. I guess the switch is sorta portable isn't it?

IDK I kinda want the next AC to be on a 3DS-size-convenience device. I like that the best for AC. Switch might be a bit too bulky to really take around.

Fun fact: I actually didn't see this message until now so we both just randomly started using secondaries lol

Anyway GGs as usual, good Link as usual too. Sorry it started lagging for 2 matches. Idk what was up with my internet so I just disconnected everything
My secondaries are so trash now though don't compliment them they don't deserve it

Morning girls. How's everyone doing?

About to have my breakfast yet again and I had my online meeting with my Tutor last night. It was very fun and energetic too, got quite a bunch of notes down too and got a bunch of my questions answered too. Hopefully I can get everything done before next Friday.

Spoiler: Yuri pic of the day~

Animal Crossing on Switch would be godlike. Pretty much taking the best of City LIfe and New Leaf and putting into one game with new features, characters, etc.

I am continually amazed at my ability, when guessing on a 50/50 question, to get it wrong without fail.

I swear the joy of never having to take a midterm or final again may just be what decides if I try for the Ph.D or not.

This was me on my IT101 exam on Friday lol. The entire thing was multiple choice and matching, but it was so hard because of all the tricks and 50-50s. And I'm just a sophomore, so I have two more years of this crap.

 

[EODM07]

Found out Valve finally fixed TF2's issues with Merasmissions, so I decided to boot it up today.

I've gotten 5 contracts so far is roughly an hour of playtime. FIVE. CONTRACTS. (Shame is I don't have any keys for the Creepy Crawly Crates. Oh well.)

Time to celebrate:
