Can we discuss the best scene of 2017? Also, I'm Star irl. Probably Hexaboo too. I am all magical gorls.

 

[ぱみゅ]

Hecapoo has a lot of character potential. I can only hope to see A LOT more of her later.
Rewatched Star has a lot of charm, too.
But my favorite has been Jackie almost from the start.

 

[FullMoon]

So today my state held a small customs tournament just to have an event while they're preparing for some bigger ones.

I forgot that customs were actually pretty fun, ended up winning the tournament going just Greninja. Shifting Shuriken MVP

 

[Burgundy]

Uhh so I just hatched some of my leftover Morelull eggs that I left in the Pelago and one of them was shiny??? I'm crying

This boy was just sitting in my box for like a week and only just hatched
Only 9 eggs after my previous shiny Morelull hatched
._ .;;

Of course right in the middle of my breeding for Shiny Cleffa =-=
The impact was severely less so than before since I already had one but hey he's still adorable!
So I guess Joelle the Shiinotic has a new shiny brother!
Ignoring the nearly 200 brothers and sisters that the majority of have been released in the wild to fend for themselves oops
Won't be evolving him :D

Fir's critical health portrait makes me feel like a terrible parent. She looks so helpless and in so much pain. Then she dies and I'm like, "What have I done..."

Man, I still need to finish Clannad one day. Fir's Special portrait is beautiful. Something about the blue and purple wakes. Also disappointed that Lon'qu doesn't have his "How well will you die?" quote for his Special.

I'm gonna put my money on Hekapoo reappearing in a match-making episode for Tom because why not? jkjkjk

Hekapoo is a member of the High Magic Council or something, so I imagine she will be a sporadically reoccurring character. She's a pretty cool character design and attitude wise. She's kind of like Demon-Lady-Jackie in terms of how cool she can be (which I guess is ironic because she's a flame demon/witch/whatever).

But ye, Jackie is pretty cool. She's consistent as a character but not in a 1D "here to play one role" kind of way.

Morning girls. How's everyone doing?

Had my breakfast and currently trying to get the Shiny Rayquaza in Pokemon Shuffle. Also praying that I do get the Gardevoirite that they got available in the current Competitive Stage.

Also, currently checking BEAST 7. From what I've seen so far. A Shulk from Sweden managed to beat Glutonny who mains Wario 2-0.

[EODM07]

Finally got myself a new headset!

I now got a SADES SA-807. My previous one had the rubber covering rip around the break off point of the audio jacks, they weren't safe to use due to the wires being exposed.

Also, Top 8 of BEAST 7 is going on now gorls.

Here's who are in Top 8 as of now.

Winners Side:
Mr. R / vs. cyve /
iStudying vs. M

Losers Side:
S1 vs. Aperture
KillerJawz vs. El_Pikitla /

 

[Jaguar360]

iStud vs M and S1 had me so clenched oh god

 

[EODM07]

iStud vs M and S1 had me so clenched oh god

I know, right? That M vs. iStudying match was amazing.

EMG better put that as their play of the week. :V

Edit: Mr. R bodied M 3-0. The dream is dead.

But she needs to become a sword master! A parent should motivate their kids.

I wished Karla was in the game even though she's dead before Binding Blade. Karel too, but I think he should show up with Stefan as a pair of the most badass sword masters in Fire Emblem. Also, one of the random dialogue you get from Bartre is sweet. He calls out to Fir -- literally screams her name -- in his usual dumb and dorky way.

The best sword gorl is Ryoma. That's the only sword gorl you should consider using. I mean, just look at ha!

Heart and soul belongs to Severa. Many mistakes were made.

Beat 9-5 yesterday.

Spoiler: 9-5 and Heroes plot

Subaki was useless except for closing out the chapter. NOBODY went after him. Everyone's like, "Oh, yeah, let's kill Lucina who can heal herself and kill you if you're not a mage". Was able to lure Xander to Gwendolyn which meant everyone was protected from the monster he is, Sophia died, but at least managed to do damage on Veronica and Xander before getting doubled by everything known to man. Lucina was the secondary tank to the blue mage, cleric, and I don't know how, but the sword unit teleported to a space next to her. Probably had Wings of Mercy -- I don't know since I thought I lost the chapter the moment I saw Luci get ganged up on. She survived; Falchion healed her. And during this entire spectacle of a battle, Subaki sat there twiddling his thumbs. I just got his Sapphire Lance hoping it might be useful against Xander and the random sword unit. Gwendolyn tanked and killed Xander, Lucina killed the blue mage, sword guy, and Veronica, and Sophia took Veronica and Xander down to < 50% HP. What did Subaki do? Killed the cleric. Remember the unit who doesn't have weapon advantage, so they don't do a lot of damage to begin with and their main purpose is to heal, buff, and debuff units aka annoy you? Yeah, that unit.

Anyway, apparently Veronica is a lonely girl and her step-mom's the one trying to make Embla a peaceful kingdom while Veronica is following her father's footsteps. Weird thing is that her father is kind of like Chrom's dad. Both were warmongers. Reversed situations, however, Veronica wants to continue her father's warmongering and hero hoarding while Chrom, Emmeryn, and Lissa were called out on their pro-peace hypocrisy by other countries because of their father's actions that resulted in countries like Plegia being in terrible post-war situations. Sort of disappointed that Xander didn't have anything to say at the end of the chapter. And then the Mysterious Man showed up at the end to tell Alfonse, Anna, and Sharena to stop looking for Zacharias. Alfonse asks why, but he leaves without an answer.

First thing I thought was if the Mysterious Man is Zacharias brother. Don't know why other than maybe he has a close connection to Zacharias. Some people think he is Zacharias because if you get him down to critical health, his ripped shirt shows he's muscular which for some is weird for a mage. That and maybe because both he and Zacharias are blue units; he's a blue mage and Zacharias is a lance unit. The things going against this theory is that one, why and how does nobody recognize his voice or build. And two, his name is apparently Bruno according to dataminers. It would be obvious if it was true that he and Zacharias are the same person, so I think it would be more interesting if he wasn't. An idea I have is that the Mysterious Man could be from the World of Awakening where he met Zacharias as Zacharias was dying unable to cross a portal and Zacharias promised him to look after his world and over not just Alfonse and Sharena, but Veronica as well. That or he's the reason why Zacharias is dead... At this point, I'm just relating the Mysterious Man to Cloud Strife and Zacharias to Zack Fair.

 

[Cress!]

Kinda random thought I had, but does anybody remember those cards you could customize and level up for Mariokart 8, Sm4sh, and Splatoon?

Spoiler: These were mine

I had "exclusive" access to the Smash and Splat ones early.

Also my Splat one has the 3rd highest level I guess? Not sure how that happened tbh

 

[EODM07]

Speaking of Sm4sh due to Cress! mentioning about it.

BEAST 7 Top 8 for Sm4sh came to an end. I am both disappointed but yet very pleased with the results.

Mr. R took 1st place, congrats to him. cyve took 2nd place and M took 3rd place.

I'll just say that M mains Shulk. He played Shulk throughout most of the tournament, only going Sheik game 1 against cyve; only to have the audience chant "WHERE IS SHULK?!". In my opinion, the greatest set that happened during Top 8 was M vs. iStudying. You will not believe how amazing it was.

This better be on EMG's Plays of the Week.
I'm really happy that a Shulk main got 3rd at a National, disappointed that he got demolished by Mr. R and cyve. Oh well, it's one of those things.

 

[Lil Puddin]

But she needs to become a sword master! A parent should motivate their kids.

Then tell your lil gorl to do some benchpreses and crunches. She needs to be swole like Ryoma-Sword-Gorl if she ever wants to be the best sword gorl around.

She could probably ask Effie for pointers, too.

Heart and soul belongs to Severa. Many mistakes were made.

Tsundere is basically a worse yandere, because at least the yandere kills you eventually. The tsundere just tsuns you for life. So ye, mistakes were totally made. RIP to your patience and sanity gorl.

Some people think he is Zacharias because if you get him down to critical health, his ripped shirt shows he's muscular which for some is weird for a mage.

If that is Zachipoo, then you can totally see why Alfonse wants him back so much. :^)

Though he could be like Robin. M!Robin and Sully do the whole training thing and he comments on having abs now because of training with her. So Robin was swole under them robes if he got to A Rank with Sully, at least.

I wish Tristate had custom side events, I'd totally push to go to tournaments with them if they existed. Glitch 3's also getting rid of customs :/


Ryoma's my only five star in FE Heroes rn, that's a strong gorl

The banning of customs always annoyed me. The moves are very balanced and can make certain characters a bit more viable. It really feels like it boils down to "omg if every MU isn't a copy/paste experience then I don't wanna play!!!" There are a few questionable customs, but that's what banning is for. Since customs have to be made ahead of time, you'd be banning that move not the character. EZ PZY. They're just too stubborn to do that, though.

Also ye, Ryoma is stronk gorl. Swolest sword gorl... Besides Ike, anyway.

 

[Ffamran]

Then tell your lil gorl to do some benchpreses and crunches. She needs to be swole like Ryoma-Sword-Gorl if she ever wants to be the best sword gorl around.

Meanwhile, Lucina. Flat as a board and the strongest sword unit I have. (It's all Falchion. Her attack is 23 without it or any weapon equipped).

She could probably ask Effie for pointers, too.

Or Kjelle as Severa drooled learned about.

I love how Severa and Virion have supports where you kind of wished some characters could same gender S-support. That or have Severa be gal pals with Noire and cement Chrom and the Vaike's bromance at the expense of Lucina ever existing. Whoops, time paradox, but bromance, though. Totally worth it.

Tsundere is basically a worse yandere, because at least the yandere kills you eventually. The tsundere just tsuns you for life. So ye, mistakes were totally made. RIP to your patience and sanity gorl.

I am a very patient man. It's a reason why I re-rolled her enough that I settled with a 4* tsundere.

Though he could be like Robin. M!Robin and Sully do the whole training thing and he comments on having abs now because of training with her. So Robin was swole under them robes if he got to A Rank with Sully, at least.

Robin's robes are bulky-looking. You could stretch it with muscular male Robin being even more ripped than he looks solely because of his robes concealing his figure. Same goes with the other body types like mini Robin could be very muscular despite being short and kid-looking. Meanwhile, Corrin with form-fitting suits of armor and looking skinny even with the larger body frames. Then again, who needs muscles when you're part dragon?

Also ye, Ryoma is stronk gorl. Swolest sword gorl... Besides Ike, anyway.

Uh, hello? Karel with 130% strength growth (in Binding Blade).

Also, wished Gerik was in Heroes. Dude is a badass.

Spoiler: FE Heroes criticism and wonders stuff

Spoiler: Quests and paralogues

Anyway, FE Heroes does something that I don't like when it comes to games and that is if you complete a challenge, mission, quest, etc. early, you have to do it again. Some games don't do this, instead, they do the opposite and there might be a different reaction or dialogue as a result like in Skyrim which has moments where you have to do the same thing again and I'm pretty sure some of the Zelda games do this. Anyway, it's annoying and a stamina waster, but those quests end in a year, so I can complete them whenever. Just a note to self and anyone else to not do any of the X-5 missions on hard or lunatic unless you really, really need orbs. Had to redo 1-5 to 6-5 on hard again and when I get the lunatic quests, 1-5 to 2-5. The stupid thing is that I'm only doing this for completion's sake as I haven't used any of the shards before and don't really want to. Kind of pointless when you can spend a couple of stamina, especially at low levels, to rapidly level up. Plus, it's fun actually playing the game. Honestly, if we could trade in shards for orbs, I'd throw all mine away to stockpile up on orbs. I have no idea how much shards would cost for much higher levels, but it's going to be a grind anyway, so... yeah.

The other quests, the Family Bonds ones, which I complained about before just became a bit justified if this is thing. So, starting from now, there's going to be quests based on the focus of the time. Currently, it's Family Bonds which is about Eirika, Ephraim, Julia, and Seliph who also have paralogues dedicated to them. Might not be the case for the next focus of Fir, Hawkeye, (adult) Tiki, and... I don't know who's the fourth on, but they might have a set of quests where you have to do certain things with them like KO X amount of units with Fir, hard versions like do chapter 3-5 on hard with Tiki, etc. That would be all right. Only problem is not everyone has those units, but it could as the game goes on, "reward" you for units you have.

Speaking of paralogues, I would like them to be expanded upon which they probably will. One thing would be to have future main stories about the Genealogy of the Holy War and The Sacred Stones. Seems like a waste to only have them show up in 3 paralogues. Anyway, the other thing that could work would be what if scenarios or different perspectives like Lyn's levels, the tutorial of Blazing Sword, or a Hector Hard Mode where his exclusive levels and/or harder levels of the World of Blazing are paralogues. For me, it seems like a waste to have 2 of the main characters of Blazing even if they're not the main focus, just be there with no dialogue or even opening dialogue. I don't remember ever seeing Hector or Lyn say anything; it was all Eliwood. It's probably going to be a thing, so I'm just stating the obvious then.

Spoiler: Unit distribution

Something else about FE Heroes is apparently, red units (31) and sword units (24; 6 mages and 2 Manaketes) are the most abundant in the game followed by blue (23; 18 lance, 3 mages, 1 Manaketes, and 1 Corrin), colorless (20; 8 healers, 6 archers, 6 thieves), and then green (20 or 19 if you don't count Narcian because he was only available for a short time, so 15 or 14 axe; 4 mages, 1 Manakete).

Personally, I find it very ironic that of all the units I summoned, it's the one with the lowest amount that makes up a majority of my freaking army. Pretty much how my luck works. Get rare stuff that I do not need while never getting (rare) stuff that I do need. I have 9 green units with freebie Anna and none of which were gained from special maps so far -- Gunter might come up, but that's a duplicate unit. That's almost half of the freaking green population. Meanwhile, second most populated and I only have 4/23 with freebie Sharena. Thanks, game. At least I can justify why I've summoned 8 red units and 2 freebies, Alfonse and "benched forever" Raigh. And then there's the 5 colorless with Matthew being a freebie and Virion being a duplicate and freebie.

Personal issues aside, I do find it odd that the red units have so many and that some units who were lance units in their home games or implied to be like Caeda and Palla were made into red sword units. Knowing this, it's justifiable how units like Frederick, Gunter, and Raven being made into green units despite being or implied to be lance or sword units in the home games. So, new units will be made available and it takes time to create them -- animate, draw, voicing etc. --, but that said, there were units who were lance units and were iconic as lance units like Caeda. Maybe you could get away with someone like Frederick and Gunter who are multi-weapon specialists, but Caeda, a Pegasus Knight? And we know that future units are likely going to be sword units. Gee, I wonder what Eirika, Ike, Leif, Seliph, Sigurd, and whenever Navarre and Xander will be made playable are going to use? That alone would be 7 sword units and 2 were recently made playable and 2 are in the game, but not playable. Future updates will address this like while not popular as far as I know, Heath would be a great addition as a lance-wielding Wyvern Rider alongside units like Nephenee and Seth -- official art with a lance, but equal ranking with lance and sword --, but still, it's curious why despite considering character balance, importance, and popularity, lance and I guess, axe units were essentially screwed over. Given the popularity of Awakening and Fates, it's still weird knowing there's units like Basilio, Charlotte, Rinkah, Silas, Sumia -- Really? Chrom's heavily implied wife not in the game? --, and Vaike are MIA.

Morning girls. How's everyone doing?

Went to see my sister off at the train station, but her train was delayed. Just heard that she isn't even at the next station, it's pretty bad for travelling via railway due to it being Half Term.

But I'll be getting on with my University work and see what I can do. Also, managed to get Shiny Rayquaza (Thank you RNG), and I even got a Gardevoirite too.

Cool, weapon mastery quests in Fire Emblem Heroes for orbs and stuff. Let's look at my options for lance mastery... Oh, wait, I don't have options. At least I have four of them... 2 of which hit with pool noodles, one has a pool noodle that has a built-in Triangle Adept, and one barely cuts it as a glass cannon. Man, I wished I had Oboro or someone who could guarantee knights would not be a pain in my butt.

Edit: I don't remember how combinations work.

i must be blind because i cannot find the weapon mastery quests anywhere

You probably figured it by now, but did you check the fountain? There should be a pop-up about weapon mastery quests. That and whenever you start the game and it gives you the summoning focus image and you tap close instead of anything on the bar like Home, you automatically get directed to the news section which should talk about the quests and future updates.

In other news, the Japanese site for Breath of the Wild got an update and shows romanization of character names like the bird dude aka totally not Falco is named Revali. Decided to just Google that and the first result was an India village and other results I think is about something, probably a city, in Estonia. Word-wise, I thought of reveille which I don't remember if it's actually pronounced like "re-vell-lee" in English or not. Also, is it just me, or do all the red Zora look shark-like? Mipha's forehead reminds me of a shark's nose and I remember there was this hammerhead-looking dude. Article: http://nintendoeverything.com/new-h...-of-some-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-characters/.

Btw, I heard on GameXplain the size of seven of the games that they'll be releasing.

The smallest being SnipperClips being at 1.09 GB. Highest being Dragon Quest Heroes 1+2 being at 32 GB.

Best get them physical copies.

Also, I just saw Andre from GameXplain upload a video of him getting a Nintendo Switch early. He managed to get the console itself, JoyCon Grip, Pro Controller, all the BotW Amiibo along with Wolf Link and a screen protector and carry case, they were sent by Nintendo.

However, he cannot unbox them until the 23rd. Since if he does, he'll break the embargo and Nintendo will be pretty upset.

To be fair, most of those Mastery rewards can be dealt with with a solo unit. Those last two achievements are probably beyond me in all the weapons, but the stuff before that doesn't look so difficult.

Also @BJN39 was right, you do not need Go+ to play Pokemon Go safely. I opened it again and played during the weekend and went up like four levels and didn't get hit by any automobile nor cyclist. It plays so much better now than it did during the Summer; catching a pokemon, saving, and returning to the overmap used to take a whole block, if it didn't just crash on me before. Now it just happens and you're back in the overmap within a few steps and the game's only crashed on me maybe five times in three days and I didn't lose my pokemon whenever it happened.

Only bad thing was I couldn't find any Zubats anymore. Which means the ones I have may be my only sources of Crobats left. Obviously the right thing to do is continue to keep a golbat as my buddy pokemon until I make enough candies to fully evolve every last one of them.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Rage is something you can easily plan around. It's something you can think about strategically. If you see that Charizard or Bowser or Dedede is at 120% or something, you know there attacks are going to provide a lot of extra oomph, and it makes finishing the stock even more important. It also can help you make decisions. Should you really play it super safe at kill percent just to wrack up extra damage, or should you take some light risks and start fishing for a kill confirm before your enemy's rage becomes too problematic? In the extreme case of Lucario, I never land unnecessary moves after he hits around 100%. At that point, if a move can't help me creating an opening for a kill, it's better to just not use it. And it doesn't reward people for playing poorly, like many people so falsely claim. It rewards people for staying alive - and a lot of heavy weights need that extra buff especially. Surviving to 130+% is not easy.

Tripping, on the other hand, is totally random. There is only one counter play to tripping - don't run. Either you don't use one of your options completely, or you risk letting a random element out of your control screw up the entire match for no good reason. And it's not like there isn't any reason to walk, it's just an intentionally uncompetitive mechanic meant to screw up skilled players so less skilled ones have a fighting chance. That's fine for a chaotic party game, but unlike items and whatnot, you can't turn it off. Every time you run, it's a gamble that's entirely up to chance, and that's not good for a tournament fighting game. There is no such random element involved in rage. As I said, you can always see both yours and your opponent's percentage on the screen, and so you always no how much it's going to change things. It makes battles more dynamic, but not necessarily unfair.

Dunno why, but I've been rewatching some of the CellGames clips.

Which are done by TeamFourStar where they have Cell fight against characters from other Abridged Series.

He's fought Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho: Abridged, Yami from Yu-Gi-Oh: TAS, Ryu & Ken, Sonic & Knuckles and Kenshio from Dub of the North Star.

They are pretty funny, best ones have to be the Yami and Kenshiro clips. Pretty hilarious imo.

Spoiler

Funny because Perfect Cell was actually down to playing Yu-Gi-Oh!, and that Kenshiro was only hungry for bug meat.

Also I'm 110% sure now that Oboro will be the person I rank up to 5 stars once I get 20k feathers (which may be in a few hours once Arena rewards are passed out).

To be fair, most of those Mastery rewards can be dealt with with a solo unit. Those last two achievements are probably beyond me in all the weapons, but the stuff before that doesn't look so difficult.

I just like complaining about my lack of blue units.

That said, yeah, if you've played a while already and have units around lv +24, then you should be able to take down most of the challenges, especially if they're 4* to 5* units. Gunter basically did everything for the axe challenges, I didn't bring in Lucina, but she, probably Alfonse and Laslow, and Selena would definitely be able to do everything by themselves. Now, the lance units on the other hand... Let's just say having lv 26 to 28 units struggle on the fifth stratum which is around lv +21 is really sad. There wasn't even a green unit. What the hell, guys!?

... So envious.

Also, baseball in Breath of the Wild. Doink!

I think the scene's nonsensical insistence on banning half of it's own stage list from when the game came out has had significantly more impact than the existence of rage or tripping. Like, when half the scene had to mass protest to prevent Smash 4 from becoming a 3 stage game, I don't really see rage being anything other than a negligible factor.

If trading units were a thing, I'd trade my legion of Saizo dupes away for everyones free Felicias so I could make a team just of her. No one would ever expect it.

Patience is golden. I didn't have any healers and needed more green units, then the daily maps provided me with Gunter, Lissa, and Wrys (and I rolled some ). It's possible when they finish this rotation of characters for the second time, they'll replace it with new units, preferably blue because they sort of gave emphasis to all the colors but blue.

I have so many hours on Mercy because she's 50% playing hide and seek; that's the best thing ever. Staring at walls and floors is also a great Swedish pastime, so it lets me experience what other cultures/people do for fun. (TBH just a test w/ the beginning to see how multi-layers work for videos and I was like WHY NOT MERCY POTGS SINCE I HAVE 20 OF THEM?)

Rage is worse than tripping imo. oop

TBH it is annoying. But at the same time it allows for come-backs and unexpected things. I understand that the competitive scene REALLY loves copy/paste statistics and match ups without any true variations (like rage making moves kill sooner omg nooooo). But having some way to tip the scales unexpectedly makes for much more entertaining fights. It's also let's not-even-a-sliver-of-viability characters become sorta-kinda-maybe-close-to-viable. Like Ganondorf or Zelda. Albeit, sorta-kinda-maybe-close-to-viable is still not viable.

I really tried to get Oboro and mostly got junk units. Somehow got Clarine for the 2nd time when I really want Elise or something, too. On the plus side I pulled a F!Corrin and she's a very good Dragon-Unit. Most of the Dragons are kind of lopsided, where they hit like tanks but get destroyed as quickly as wet tissue paper. F!Corrin is bulky and fast with decent power behind her attacks (and the AoE debuff is amazing). I actually beat green units with F!Corrin regularly. I think her only issue is slightly lower HP/Def compared to other Dragons but more Speed/Res, making her a decently rounded unit.

Also shoutout to RosalinA for making me think the Alert System was broken when I saw I had 17 alerts.

My what? Is that any different from my NNID?

Supposedly it'll be the successor to NNID. It's not confirmed what exactly it is but it's pretty much assumed to be the Switch's version of the NNID. Basically go into your my.nintendo settings, go to user info, click user ID, set the password, and then it'll ask for your user ID

I secured Burgundy, btw :D (tho it forces lowercase so burgundy. Bleh)

It's basically your NNID for the Switch. You don't have to use the same one as your NNID because everything is linked to your Nintendo Account in case they do any transferring of stuff from 3DS/Wii U to Switch.
