General Chat / Re: Your "Pet Peeves"

« on: August 08, 2008, 03:37:55 PM »

My biggest pet peeve... MICROSOFT WORD SPELLCHECKER. I mean, it does have its good points(like when I was completely unable to spell the word "necessary" and related words), but all those red-n-green squiggly lines are so annoying and distracting. It looks like a bunch of tiny Marios and Luigis died all over the page. And the spellchecker always expects me to write in a formal style. Sorry, I DON'T WRITE FORMALLY. I AM NOT A FORMAL PERSON. I will say "gonna", "gotta", "kinda", "wanna", "shoulda", "woulda", "coulda" and "hafta" IF I WANT TO. And don't get me started on the fights I have with it over my middle name(Renae, spelled exactly like that)!

Other pet peeves I have are...

~ The freecreditreport.com commercials. I mean, who would bother writing a song about their bad credit and the effects thereof? That is, if they didn't actually have something better to do? I guess bad credit means you're legally banned from having anything better to do than make crappy songs.
~ People who try to change your very "self" by using a prestigious position they have to influence your beliefs. I have experienced this first-hand. My biology teacher told me that even though I have incredible artistic talent, I shouldn't "set my hopes too high" and at best settle for being a graphic designer. See?! Trying to crush my hopes and dreams of comic book/cartoon fame!!! In this same manner, I feel very, very sorry for those kids who have been kept from certain kid-friendly videogames because their parents/legal guardians have religious beliefs that contradict with certain aspects of those videogames and are trying to force this onto the kids by reprimanding them for even being somewhat interested in said videogames. THAT'S JUST WRONG.
~ Labels. I mean labels for people, not for products. Labels for products can be very useful, such as "keep out of reach of children" or "caution: product may contain peanuts". Thanks for the warning. I hate peanuts. But I digress. Just because someone acts or looks a certain way or likes a certain thing, that doesn't lump them into one generic category. The only label I will ever have is "Jess" or one of my many online screennames.
~ Religious nutcases. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind people with different beliefs than me. I actually like that people believe in different things. Makes life more interesting, neh? But then there's the complete jerkwads who think that their beliefs are the ultimate truth and poop on anyone who says or even thinks otherwise. See "people changing your 'self'" above.
~ Jerkwads. Need I say more?
~ All the products based on currently popular TV shows/games/movies/books/etc. Example: "OMG WOW! New NATIONAL TREASURE Riley's Cologne! Smell just like Riley Poole from National Treasure! Act now and you can get a copy of the cipher on the back of the Declaration of Independence!" See? Dumbest thing ever. Exceptions to this pet peeve include: Pokemon Pop-Tarts. Pokemon cereal. THOSE WERE SO AWESOME. 8D
~ The Geico caveman commercials. I totally prefer the gecko.
~ Chatspeak. I don't mind people using it, it's just that its liek rly hrd 2 reed omg lol.

And that concludes today's lesson on "How to Totally Tick Jess Off". See you next week! :D

My parents'll often play videogames with me, just so we can spend some time together. Doesn't mean they're very good at it, though. XD Dad can at least get close to beating me on the Mario Kart circuits, and I believe his life-long experiences in hunting have helped his scores in the Wii Play Shooting Range. Mom can do Wii Bowling pretty good, and she said last night that she wants Wii Fit(and her own Wii, but I think she was joking on that part... at least, I hope so).

Okay, you guys know how much of a Pokemon fangirl I am. So you can imagine my happiness when they put Red(Pokemon Trainer) in Brawl. But Red's not the only Pokemon Trainer who deserves some Smash Bros fame, no no. The others need some love, too!

Note: For all of the following, the Down B move is a switchout, Final Smash is Triple Finish and entrance is being released from a Pokeball.

Johto Trainer (aka Gold) (Pokemon series)

Pokemon: Cyndaquil, Croconaw and Meganium

Cyndaquil

Standard B: Ember Cyndaquil shoots out a small burst of flame.

Side B: Flame Wheel Cyndaquil spins around, spitting flames all around itself.

Up B: Eruption Cyndaquil causes lava to spew from the ground, launching itself into the air and burning any player that touches it.

Croconaw

Standard B: Water Pulse Croconaw fires a pulse of water. Unlike Squirtle's Water Gun, this does damage. Wait... does Squirtle's water gun do any damage? Doesn't seem like it to me...

Side B: Aqua Tail Croconaw swishes its hydro-powered tail at the eneny... or just in the opposite direction of which you're facing. Depends on whether the enemy's there or not. XD

Up B: Waterfall Croconaw jets up on a waterfall.

Meganium

Standard B: Razor Leaf Meganium shoots out a spinning leaf. Careful, it's sharp!

Side B: Reflect Meganium generates a temporary shield in front of itself. Will deflect projectile attacks.

Up B: Vine Whip Meganium extends a vine in an upward direction.

Hoenn Trainer (aka Brendan) (Pokemon series)

Pokemon: Treecko, Combusken and Swampert

Treecko

Standard B: Bullet Seed Treecko spits out seeds. Hey, what did you expect?

Side B: Energy Ball Treecko shoots a green ball of energy.

Up B: Vine Whip This seems to be a recurring thing in the Grass types, huh?

Combusken

Standard B: Ember Combusken shoots a medium-sized flame from its mouth.

Side B: Double Kick Combusken kicks forward once, then back once.

Up B: Sky Uppercut Combusken jumps into the air, its arm stretched out in a upwards punch. Similar to Mario and Luigi's Up B, but with no coins.

Swampert

Standard B: Mud Shot Swampert sprays mud from its mouth.

Side B: Mud Bomb Swampert shoots out a ball of mud.

Up B: Muddy Water Swampert jets upward on a stream of mud-filled water.

Sinnoh Trainer (aka Dawn) (Pokemon series)

Pokemon: Piplup, Grotle and Infernape

Piplup

Standard B: Water Gun Just like Squirtle's Standard B. Charge it up and let it fly!

Side B: Bubblebeam Piplup lets loose a stream of fast-moving bubbles.

Up B: Waterfall Just like Squirtle and Croconaw's Up B.

Grotle

Standard B: Leech Seed Grotle fires a seed. When it makes contact with another character, it has the same effect as Lip's Stick. It doesn't heal Grotle, unlike its effect in the Pokemon games.

Side B: Razor Leaf Grotle fires a spinning, razor-sharp leaf.

Up B: Vine Whip Uh-huh. Another Vine Whip.

Infernape

Standard B: Fire Punch Infernape's fist is covered in flames. It punches characters with its flaming hand.

Side B: .Fury Swipes Infernape swipes with its arm once. If it connects with another character, up to 5 continuous swipes can be performed.

Up B: Fire Spin Similar to Link, Donkey Kong and Bowser's Up B moves. Infernape spins madly, its arms aflame.

Great idea, but I'm a bit confused about how the merging works. Does the character merged with disappear from play, or just continue to take damage while still playable?

The character he's merged with disappears from play. I guess I should have made that clear, huh? ^^;

Another one!

Miles "Tails" Prower (Sonic the Hedgehog series)

Standard B: Tail Spin Tails swishes his tails to attack. Holding the B button can keep the spin going, sort of like what the Rhythm Badge lets you do in Sonic Adventure.

Side B: Ring Bombs Tails throws some of those phony Rings from Sonic Heroes, which just sit there for about 5 seconds until they explode.

Up B: Propellor Tails Tails uses his tails to fly. Very useful recovery move.

Down B: Spin Charge/Dash Just like Sonic's Spin Dash, only with Tails' tails trailing behind him.

Final Smash: Tornado Tails hops in his trusty biplane and zooms all around the screen. Pressing attack buttons makes the Tornado shoot lasers.

Entrance: He drops in from the Tornado.

Just because this has been nagging me at the back of my mind...

Dimentio (Mario series)

Standard B: Starburst Dimentio shoots a purple starburst forward. He can do these in succession and, like Luigi's fireballs, they're not affected by gravity.

Side B: Clone Assault Dimentio quickly conjures up a clone of himself(he always keeps a dozen or so of those handy!) and they both quickly punch in opposit directions. The clone sticks around for a while, like a "stronger and more good-looking version of the second Ice Climber".

Up B: Dimensional Warp Similar to Zelda and Sheik's Up B, it's... a teleporting move. Duh.

Down B: Cubes of Doom Remember those orange boxes that explode inside? He conjures up one of those and explodes it. Not very useful for knocking opponents out, but handy for racking up damage.

Final Smash: Super Dimentio Using the Chaos Heart, Dimentio merges with the character he's closest to at the time. He gets a more powerful and Dimentio-themed version of their normal moveset, while the character he's merged with takes continous damage.

Entrance: Dimensional warp, but with an added miniature fireworks display.
