If you swing the way of ongoing manga, Houseki no Kuni is fantastic.

I don't think the anime would be for you; the adaptation is chock full of annoying "anime-isms" in terms of style and is CG animated too [though the last bit isn't a problem IMO]. The universe is fascinating though. The mechanics of the world deliver a coming of age plot so creatively it's jealousy inducing if you've ever tried to write a COA story.

can't say i care to start reading manga, much less ongoing ones—i enjoy the security of knowing that i'm about to jump into a completed story, and that i won't be sitting on a boat for 7 years with a bunch of other fans waiting for the next volume, and on top of that, i have enough "real" literature to catch up on before i start reading some random japanese comics

i appreciate the recommendation, though

are you recommending this because you think I in particular would like it, or are you recommending it just because you like it

i don't really care but old dante looks goofy as fuck

1999 looks like it's gonna be a slog

i have a plan for catching up with 2018, though—if it's a light novel adaptation, i'm gonna skip it

i might have said this already, but after 1999, i'm not gonna move forward to 2000—instead, i'll go backwards and do 1994, just so i can clear out all of the '90s

how many people can say they've tried every single '90s anime

Why would I care if a user wasn't the sex they claimed to be, unless it was a dating site?

because being dishonest about anything is generally obnoxious

obviously it's fine if you're trans or something and you're just trying to keep a low profile about it (outside of a dating site, where that information should obviously be divulged at the forefront)

but if you're someone like isara and you just lie for the fuck of it, it's bad, because if you're willing to lie about something like that, what else are you lying about? why should i trust or even associate with you at all?

doesn't matter if it's your age, sex, gender, or location—just be fucking honest it's not that hard

default as always

So, that one leaker (who has been pretty accurate lately) has just leaked that there's gonna be 6 more new characters. I wouldn't get too excited about that, but this dude has a pretty strong track record.

If he's right, any predictions? One of the fun things about having a completed 68 character roster is that it really narrows things down.

I predict:

1. Simon Belmont, who has been my biggest request since Brawl
2. Decidueye, who seems all but inevitable to me
3. Spring Man and/or Ribbon Girl for some Arms representation
4. A Metal Gear echo fighter, pretty much because of what Cat just said
5. King K. Rool who is a piece of shit character who I don't want, but it seems likely-ish
6. Geno—again, don't want him, but he's been requested for years, so it's about time

These aren't characters I necessarily want, but they're the ones I'm expecting the most.

- Daisy is a first-wave "we can do it" rosie the riveter type feminist; probably helped build bombs during WW2

- the new zelda doesn't care much about politics and is more of a diana of wales type figure

- pichu is just as much of an environmentalist as pikachu, but with more wide-eyed idealism

- lucina is a centrist democrat who is primarily concerned with social issues and not much else, probably loves starbucks

- young link is a cynical futurist who watches peter joseph documentaries like zeitgeist

- mewtwo is a militant green ideologue who cares for animals but is otherwise above politics

- roy is just an opinionated contrarian asshole who always tries to go against the grain no matter what

- whereas pit is the new york times op-ed columnist, dark pit writes for the washington post

- villager is a conservative christian who doesn't like "the gays" but keeps it to himself, got it from his parents, also probably in the closet

- mega man is a radical ecolib who really fucking hates capitalism, basically the polar opposite of liberty prime from fallout 3

- wii fit trainer is too nice for you to even ask her politics, let alone argue with

- little mac obviously dropped out of high school to become a pugilist, but probably still idolizes theodore roosevelt who was among the last presidents he learned about

- greninja is a feudalist historian who's really obsessed with the edo period for some reason

- palutena is one of those radical centrists who think they're above it all when they're actually just trying to avoid confrontation

- pac-man is a boomer libertarian and ronald reagan supporter who thinks he was the greatest president of all time

- robin is an uppity college liberal who is concerned about microaggressions

- shulk voted for trump because he thought it would be funny

- the duck hunt dog posts half-baked anti-vegan memes on facebook, whereas the duck makes fun of him for doing so on reddit

- ryu doesn't care as long as you're not a dictator

- cloud is an apathetic absurdist who doesn't really claim to know what anything is, his favorite book is the stranger by albert camus

- i don't know shit about corrin, but he comes off to me like a stuffy aristocrat who thinks all corporate taxes should be abolished

- bayonetta is a sex-positive conservative anti-feminist who makes political rants on youtube with makeup tutorials on the side

- inkling tried to watch the presidential debates to impress her parents but she got bored and fell asleep

- ridley is a nihilist/anarchist

if people are calling you racist / sexist, chances are you're a piece of crap

Overly sensitive white people that get overly offended for everybody don't do anybody any favors and just make race relations worse.

ok

what she said is still true

i will give this meme two more weeks

Do yourself a favor and revisit the first few pages of this thread.

still working on the dirty bubble challenge

video is two years old btw

Can somebody confirm whether all grabs are techable or not

I don’t wanna play Sheik if her down throw is even more pointless than PAL melee or TU 4

sheik's down throw wouldn't be directly affected by this change, though

it's only making it so when two characters try to grab each other, it cancels out and resets the neutral, just like in traditional fighters

unless you're getting at something else

Quake 3.

doubt!

Mon hun

really

looks like I might have to pick up link, too

hybrid leaning on port is as far as i'm willing to budge on that, it's just not even close to being different enough

you wouldn't say Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix isn't just an updated port of the original Street Fighter II, even with all the new mechanics and characters
