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

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.

never said arms wasn't dumb tbh

i still think it's likely

and citing ivy as a reason to doubt decidueye doesn't work when we have squirtle + greninja

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.

what she said is still true

this may or may not be common knowledge at this point, but i'd still like to draw more attention to it because of how cool it is—there's a lovely little detail added to the dungeon music in breath of the wild that you might have missed

YouTube

this is the music that plays when you lurk inside the body of the divine beast Vah Ruta, who, in the game's plot, is essentially a war machine designed to protect hyrule from evil, along with three other divine beasts located in each of the game's four major regions—but the beasts wind up becoming corrupted and possessed by ganon, eventually causing the great calamity, so, of course, it's up to link to basically secure and liberate them from ganon's influence

the beasts have to be liberated from the inside out, so they essentially function as the game's dungeons

the music that plays in vah ruta's dungeon is beautiful on its own, but listen closely at the very beginning—repeatedly, you'll hear three short tones, followed by three longer tones, followed by three shorter tones

that's an "S.O.S." in morse code

no, seriously, listen for yourself

that's right—because the dungeons are more or less sentient warships, they actually integrated a distress call into the dungeon music, which is pretty chilling, given the right context, as it subconsciously adds another layer of urgency to the already grim situation

some people have claimed to hear other morse code messages as well, like "SAD" (... .- -..), but i don't know if i hear that myself—others have speculated that there could also be messages in wabun code, which is the japanese variant of morse, but i haven't looked into that as much

good games are good and all, but it's little things like this which separate the games i love from the games i cherish

the way it was explained to me was when you get thrown onto the ground in a way that bounces into the air ie: sheiks Dthrow, you now have the option to tech it and remove the chance to follow up.
nah, this is what it is

mario and bayo tried to grab each other at the same time, so it cancels

it's the change i'm probably the most excited about, because i always felt that grabs were a broken mechanic in smash

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

Of all the complaints I've been, people not liking Pikachu getting double kick is kind of ridiculous. Did anyone care that Charmander got Metal Claw in FRLG?
That's probably one of cooler changes tbh (even though it even further nullifies the point of forcing you to catch a Grass or Water-type...)

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

do people really think this game is not a port

like, it's okay that it is, but there seems to be a lot of people who are convinced that it's not
That's because it isn't.

More reused assets than normal game to game but that's because it's Ultimate. It's not a port.
the dubiousness of that claim aside, i don't see how that doesn't make it a port, you can build something from the ground up and still paint by the numbers established by the previous game, you can still follow the blueprint

if this isn't a port, then i'd be really disappointed if i were everyone else

every other smash installment made huge strides from the previous game, that's what makes a new installment
