Sinnoh remakes would destroy me

Gen IV is best gen, and i refuse to believe otherwise

but it's probs for the best that they haven't remade DPPt yet because they'll probs destroy Sinnoh like they did to Hoenn with ORAS

I still have hope because remakes like HGSS exist

Personally I loved those games, gen 4 was my favourite too

 

[Ffamran]

Spoiler: Context

Apparently, there's a visual novel set in North Korea. (Of course there is just like that horse senpai thingie.) The best part? The default name for the player character is Donald Trump.

Now I feel like I should watch Lucahjin's LP of the tank girl visual novel. That, and Bowser's Inside Story.

 

[Cress!]

Nothing there really interested me.
Pokken was completely dead just a week after it released, not expecting it to last much longer here.
SuMo was meh, and this won't be anything drastically different. I maybe would've gotten it if they moved to the Switch, but nopelol, still stuck on the 3DS (which will be almost 8 years old by the time the game comes out). Granted Gen 5 did something similar, BW came out just a bit before the 3DS, BW2 were announced later but stayed on the DS, and no remake happened so they jumped to the next gen on 3DS. So... Gen 8 DP remakes on Switch? I'll take that.
Why play Gold and Silver when you can play HGSS?

At least there's nothing here that I need to buy. If Pokken remains popular after a month I may get it though.

If they learned their lesson, they'd remake Platinum instead. ORAS woulda been way better if they worked with Emerald as the base, even though I know that's not exactly the definition of remaking a certain game. But noooooooooooooo. The game was good. It's just I never felt compelled to complete it since it was still the same as Ruby/Sapphire EXCEPT there was no actually-fun end game like in Emerald.

RIP RIP RIP

Anyway, I wonder if our next FEH banner will be Grooms. It would make plenty of sense to do that and also give each banner enough time to sponge money from the FEH community for the entire month. Although I doubt it. I know waifus will make more money than husbandos, but it's just kind of sad they wouldn't even pretend to make it look like it's for a theme instead of literal waifu baiting. I suppose time shall tell.

Laguz units when? If they don't put Muarim, Tibarn, Skrimar, Ranulf, Yarne, Keaton, or Kaden in... Then it will be the worst banner ever. Give me my beast bois already, IS. Or literal husbandos. I'll take either.

 

[Buddhahobo]

Welp. I was completely wrong about what the direct would be about.

But I do get to cross Pokken Tournament Switch off my bingo list, so that's pretty nice.

Pretty much this.

Pearl and Diamond basically felt like half finished games in a lot of ways tbh, while Platinum is my favorite Pokemon game. They basically improved everything, and imo has the best script in any of the mainline Pokemon games. Hell, part of why HGSS was so good was because it was built off Platinum and as such got a lot of it's extra goodies for free on top of a crap ton of new stuff.

But a lot of the guys already wear some pretty fancy stuff. If anything, throwing characters like Reinhardt or Camus into tuxedos would be underdressing them.

Right, right. It might be better to just give them swim trunks/speedos to UNdress them, amirite?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

In all srsness, while there are a few fancy husbandos, not many are full on fancy. I think only about 8 of the guys are legit dressed fancy or at least half-fancy with armor.

Edit: just got rec'd this on youtube omg it's true help me I am dying

 

[Lorde]

I would whale super hard on a male swimsuit banner

But IS knows that waifu banners make more money, so I doubt that they'd do it

Duma Tower is a fun place

Celica died on the top floor and it made me start over from the beginning

It took me 2 hours to get up that thing

 

[EODM07]

Morning girls. How's everyone doing?

Waiting for my results to come back now. Hoping I did pass the exam, but I did do my best which is all I can hope for.
But now I got plenty of time off, time to spend time watching anime and playing more Disgaea.

Also, if someone did a Sm4sh Montage with the song Heat Haze Shadow 2nd from Tekken 7 as the music. Which character(s) do you think it would suit?

Spoiler: Yuri pic of the day~

Isn't the Choose Your Legends event gonna give us swimsuit heroes? I thought I heard that. Cause then we'll get Swimsuit Ike and *immediately hordes orbs*

Atlus just announced they were localizing their latest 3 3DS games (SMT: Strange Journey Remake, Radiant Historia Remake, Etrian Odyssey V) for release Fall 2017 / Early 2018, which is great. A lot of Etrian Odyssey fans knew it was probably just being delayed because of how much prioritization Atlus USA needed to put into stuff like Persona 5 and Yakuza, but some of us were getting a bit anxious with how much time was passing.

If they're the last big hurrah on the 3DS, I think I'd be okay with that; the system would be about as old by then as the DS was when the 3DS originally came out.

You know what also makes money? Hector.

Hector probably doesn't know how to swim, so they deck him out in swim floaties, one of those lifesaver donuts and a snorkle.

And his weapon would literally be himself. The animation would be him jumping off a diving board going "Canonbaaalllll" as he vaporizes everything he lands on.

Free $$$, tbh.

Think of Oreimo and Eromanga-sensei as both Counter-Strike Source and CSGO.

Sure they look different, but they're basically the same. :V

?
Where did you hear that?
Those are the 4 characters who naturally get Vantage, so idk who the 4th will be since Anna can't be summoned

I guess they can live without Vantage for now. One of them can get up to Vantage 2 at least. But what for their A and Special skills?

The new update was datamined and 2 banners were found: one called Tempest Trials (or whatever the new permadeath mode's name is) and the other is called Heroes with Vantage

And there won't necessarily be a fourth unit for the vantage banner. The Princess/Prince banners from the original gauntlet only had 3 focus units on them, so it's possible that the vantage banner will only have 3 focus units

Adding on to this, the Tempest Trial's Banner will most likely have M!Robin, Lucina, Nowi, and Tharja. Which is a very very very very lame banner considering we'll get Not!Lucina. "He'll" have the same stats but guaranteed neutral is better than maybe-sorta-OK.

Tharja is overplayed and quite frankly Red Blade Tome is the worst of the 3 Blade Tomes from an offensive stand-point (blue being the best). Nowi is OK, you can never have too many Lightning Breath fodders and she's the best Dragon unless you need a Rein counter (then Fae+Lightning breath = RIP Rein or Linde lmaoooooo). M!Robin is also super overplayed and quite frankly he's a so-so unit. With mages you should either go all offense (Linde, Sanaki, etc) or all defense for Close Counter + Owl Tome shenanigans (mainly Boey, kinda Henry, kinda Sophia).

As for the Vantage Banner, that's probably going alongside Tempest Trial's banner because Vantage is great for saving units from dying. So that's Rein, Lon'qu, and Gordin. That means pulling for blues is the best for this banner. Maybe if we're lucky we'll get a 4th Hero that's totally new. But why would they do thaaaaaat, hmmmm?

 

[Burgundy]

I don't even need a 5 star Lon'qu though, I just need him in general
Though a Rein would be great
Damnit, I guess I'm not hording orbs after all

Lucina being in the banner would be the worst. Cherche, Chrom, Cordelia, Frederick, Gaius, Henry, Lissa, Stahl, Sully, adult Tiki, and Virion would at least be units you can't get through the first Tempest Trial. Technically, everyone has a shot at getting a free Lucina even though she's in her alternate Marth form. Same stats, probably same skills or at least the same special Aether. It'd be hilarious if they surprise bomb us with some of the Awakening kids. Brady, Cynthia, Gerome, Kjelle, Laurent, Nah, Noire, and Yarne would all be good choices. Inigo, Owain, and Severa would all be sword units which we really don't need. Inigo and Owain at least get a pass since Inigo could be a dancer and Owain would be a different unit from Odin, a mage, and there's the whole Missiletainn could be his unique weapon. Severa would basically be Selena which could go literally if she has the same stats making her pretty pointless. Now, if they did a post-Future Past Severa, then maybe she could be a Pegasus Knight... Anyway...

As for the Vantage Banner, that's probably going alongside Tempest Trial's banner because Vantage is great for saving units from dying. So that's Rein, Lon'qu, and Gordin. That means pulling for blues is the best for this banner. Maybe if we're lucky we'll get a 4th Hero that's totally new. But why would they do thaaaaaat, hmmmm?

It'd mark the second time a banner had 3 units since the first Voting Gauntlet which had 2 banners with 3 units only. It would also mark the third time Reinhardt has been on a banner which would be the most any unit's been on and he'd tie with, assuming your guesses for the Tempest Trial banner is right, Lucina and M!Robin.

If the Vantage banner ends up being all new units, I'd laugh. There are several units in past games with Vantage.

• From Awakening: Say'ri and Yen'fay who would probably be GHB
• From Fates: Fuga, Pickle Boy Hisame, and Sumeragi who should also probably be a GHB
  
• From Genealogy of the Holy War: Arden (Sword Knight), Ares (Cavalier and Mystletainn), Dalvin (Mercenary), Hannibal (Sword Knight), Iuchar (Axe Cavalier), and Lex (Axe Cavalier)
  
• From Tellius: Mia (Myrmidon and possible Wo Dao if they base her on RD) and Naesala (green? flyer)
  
• From Thracia 776: Halvan (Fighter), Machyua (Myrmidon who promotes to Hero instead of Swordmaster), and Perne ("Thief Fighter" with the King Sword, basically a personal Brave Sword)

They could just take four units from Genealogy to make a Vantage banner. Arden and Hannibal are probably the best picks considering we only have 1 summonable sword knight. Speaking of which, apparently Zephiel is the next GHB repeat. Hmm, don't know what I want to do with extra Zephiels... Life & Death and Wary Fighter are great, but I don't know who I have that I want to use them on, but I know for sure when it comes to units I don't have like both Cordelias, Hinoka, Olwen, etc. Er... Kagero, I guess? Maybe Gaius to make him into a bootleg Jaffar who doesn't have -Atk? I'd rather get Ursula other skills first before inherit L&D on her. Wary Fighter's not that useful when I only have Draug and Gwendolyn as my other knights. Garon when? Oh, and no Distant Counter, so a full armor team wouldn't be easy pickings for ranged units and no spare units for Pivot, so using knights with other units isn't as a much of a pain.

Population density makes it so, I guess. It's not really cramped up in the rural areas and richer parts of the urban areas tho

 

[EODM07]

Morning girls. How's everyone doing?

Gonna try and clean the rust off from not playing Sm4sh for the past couple of days and improving on my Neutral.
Other than that, I'll probably be checking out ProtonJon's stream of him finishing some more games for this year (His goal is to clear 52 games. He's beaten 30 so far, two of them being Beastly for Wii and Spy Muppets on the GBA). Best part was two weeks later, Spy Muppets appeared on the Fortune Cookie and he could only respond with "Really? We beat you two weeks ago!".

Spoiler: Yuri pic of the day~

 

[Buddhahobo]

Oh wow the Tempest Trials are hard.

The Lunatic difficulties are stupidly difficult and for a lot of players will be impossible with four teams, let alone one.

But, losing on a harder difficulty seems to give you more points than doing a flawless run on a lower difficulty, and all difficulties cost the same amount of stamina...so I'm not really sure what the point of the lower difficulties are.

 

[McKnightlíght]

I just saw some statistics on it and was laughing to myself thinking of you and your brother just smushed up against each other posting on Smashboards.

 

[Y2Kay]

I'm having a hard time beating camus on my ult account. my mages are all around level 35, but my tanking units aren't good enough to last.

The chars I have that are in decent shape:

Linde 5*
Tharja 4*
Julia 5*
Titania 4*
Arthur 4*
Draug 3*
Ursula 3*
Saizo 3*
Felicia 3*

[Ffamran]

Oh, yeah, this happened yesterday: http://www.siliconera.com/2017/06/0...-nt-revealed-for-playstation-4-in-early-2018/.

I liked what I saw with the PSP Dissidia games, but maybe the PS4 version with its added modes might seem better since eh, I don't know, some of the moves in the PSP games had more oomph to them than in the new Dissidia. Gonna have to watch it again slowed down near the end, but I swear I saw Auron. Probably not and it's Spiritus, the demon dude. Also, Materia's outfit looks stupid.

On another note, the Weapon Triangle banner makes so much sense now that Tempest Trials are here. What let's you take less damage against other units (at the cost of taking more damage against units with WTA) and would be really helpful in a mode where you have immediate battles? Gem weapons, -raven tomes, and T-Adept. Azura being a dancer helps even more and Narcian was like the last shot to get someone with an Emerald Axe since otherwise, you'd have to try and get Arthur and Titania somehow while special maps could still net you Stahl and Subaki (and Palla from the Whitewings quests a while back) if you haven't done them by now. M!Robin just conveniently fits as a bonus unit and as another shot at getting a unit who can deal and take less damage from greys if you don't have a Cecilia or Henry for some reason.

[Y2Kay]

My laptop is honestly garbage for gaming. Even on the lowest settings, overwatch barely runs at 60 fps. Idk why, but while playing my game will randomly dip to 20 fps in a match and it throws me off a lot. I would look into a dedicated gaming pc but I have no clue where to start when it comes to this. Do you gorls have any advice?

*Looks over while playing on lowest settings with a 30fps cap*

https://www.reddit.com/r/PCMasterRace/wiki/builds This is a decent place to start. Most of the cost in building a gaming pc comes from the cpu and the graphics card so if you can get parts from an unused pc then you can save a lot. Plus you can get a midrange graphics card and overclock it as well.
I have a good cpu but my graphics card is garbage and I don't have any space on my motherboard or case to replace it rip.

First thing would be deciding if you want a gaming laptop or a desktop. Typically that wouldn't even be a question (you'll pretty much always be able to build a better desktop than buying a laptop with the same budget), but college isn't so far off and imo you'll want some sort of reasonable laptop for that, not a massive boulder to lug around in your backpack.

And then, of course, it's all a matter of budget and keeping track of sales. Newegg typically has some sort of Summer sale, and Black Friday / Christmas is another good time for part hunting. Also, don't waste money on Intel.

 

[Cress!]

The Lunatic difficulties are stupidly difficult and for a lot of players will be impossible with four teams, let alone one.

What do you mean, a Gwendolyn with 67 HP, 45 defense, and 35 resistance is totally fair and balanced! Anyone can beat it!

Even on the lowest settings, overwatch barely runs at 60 fps.

Gorl pls. I'm lucky if my laptop hits 30 at the lowest settings, and about 40 for the desktop that I have limited access to anyways.
Laptops aren't meant for gaming in the first place but that's pretty solid.

 

[Burgundy]

I'm pretty sure my laptop stuttered playing undertale

I got the 4 Star Marth. S/he only has Falchion, no other skills at all. Not even Aether. Surprising, but that lets you use all SP wherever
But jeez the maps are tough. Not gonna stop me from getting the 5 Star Marth, though, but it's gonna take a lotta stamina

 

[Lil Puddin]

And now for a not-****-post of OW stuff:

That's not Gerard's voice. If he sounded like that, Amelie never would've killed him because she'd already be under his hypnotic-voice's control. He probably sounded more like Steve Urkel.

Anyway about these dumb Trials...

Don't feel bad gorls. The Trials ARE BS. It seems the best team to have would be all Triangle Adept users or heavy hitters that have a WTA over the enemy in general. But losing with a bonus unit on your team is ideal and getting to the 6th level isn't too hard if your team is balanced (especially if you have a Tharja or Nowi).

I am personally having trouble because the game thinks it's OK to run Reinhardt every single time with Veronica's crew. Like wtf stop. I wish I had a Triangle Adept 3 Fae with Lightning Breath+ so I could rip Reinhardt to pieces. Soren also works, but Fae has safer defenses and is a better user of Triangle Adept - so she'd be the best anti-blue you could have that's not Julia.

 

[Y2Kay]

How are the scores for the trials calculated? I'm wondering how long it should take to realistcally get all the rewards, because they hand out points for request kinda sparringly.

 

[Buddhahobo]

How are the scores for the trials calculated? I'm wondering how long it should take to realistcally get all the rewards, because they hand out points for request kinda sparringly.

The highest you can get is 705 for a run. That's a deathless run with a 40% Bonus ally on the highest difficulty. If you at the "Reward for Victory" that's the possible range for winning with the best and worst scores for time (# of turns) and survival (# of teams it took you). Adding a Bonus unit adds either a 40% or 20% multiplier on top of that.

So for the highest difficulty you'll see that winning can net you 323-504 points. Flawless run 504 * 1.4 = 705.

Ignoring that such a feat is impossible for us mere mortals, assuming 10 runs a day (200 stamina), by the end of the 2 weeks you'll have...98,700 points. 1,200 points shy of the last reward. So...yeah.

For what it's worth, losing / surrendering at the last stage in the second highest difficulty (the first lunatic) with a 40% Bonus ally nets you a tidy 224 (160*1.4). Assuming 10 runs a day (200 stamina), by the end of the 2 weeks you'll have 31,360, which is enough to get 5* Masked Marth.

Doing the same thing with the highest difficult nets you a bit more (336), but once in a blue moon I might actually be able to beat the last stage in the second highest difficulty.

It's also useful to note that you don't need to win with a bonus unit. They just have to be on one of the teams you use in the run.

I am personally having trouble because the game thinks it's OK to run Reinhardt every single time with Veronica's crew.

pfft, I wish I was getting Reinhardt. Instead I constantly get 77 HP Hectors and this demonic Leo from the parallel timeline where he must have sold his firstborn for power or something.

 

[Burgundy]

I've beaten the final map on the highest difficulties a few times, but it's very tough and I have to get lucky. Usually it's cause of saving Celica's Blazing Light to destroy Veronica and any other green units.

Usually as long as I manage to save my best team (Celica, Sharena, Hector, and Maria) for the last map, beating it is actually feasible.

Anyways, I've been playing for almost the entire day and I just hit 10,000. I've used 3, maybe 4 stamina potions, idk. Only 20,000 until I get 5 Star Marth and 40,000 to get Quickened Pulse
