Video Game Chat / Re: Super Smash Bros. 4 Wii U and 3DS

The Wii Fit instructor's comic value justifies her presence entirely to me. Her voice direction for this is spot on, too. But I personally love how absurd it is, and the way it's presented.

My god. What an atrociously inefficient means of dealing with data. You'd think HAL Laboratories would be better at that sort of thing.

« on: June 05, 2013, 10:49:07 PM »-spam attacks: I don't like these. Almost every character these days can just hold the a button and it will literally win the game for you. That's not how fighting games ever worked and they never will.
By "Spam Attack", I assume you mean a sequence of rapid attacks in a small area around your character. These do not, by any means, "literally wins the game for you". They all have significant push back. People caught in them get pushed away fairly quickly. As far as "That's not how fighting games ever worked and they never will.", see also:
- E. Honda
- Blanka
- Wolverine
- Jin Kisaragi
- etc
They have been in the genre as long as the genre has existed.
-3000+ achievements: These clog the file size of the game, which in many cases has caused wii's to crash and other bad things.
Storing additional data based on whether booleans have been triggered takes up trivial space.
-Characters: I don't think there should be too many. About the number in Brawl plus maybe 3-5 more would be a nice thing.Fighting games with small casts have either small development teams (Skullgirls) or rapid development cycles (Blazblue). Nintendo has no such boundaries. More characters leads to a nice healthy competitive scene and metagame with all the potential matchups. Nintendo has the resources to fully support as many characters as they please.
-Movesets: Some of them have nothing to do with the character. Kirby's smash is a cook, for gods sake.
See also: Chef and Briguy.
-Subspace: This is weird. Honestly platforming doesn't work with the fighting format, because with moving around and such you don't have time to pull of combos. I guess that's why the enemies can be one shotted. Also the storyline is plain stupid.
There are definitely fighting games which lack the mechanics for platforming. In fact, nearly all of them. But Smash Bros has running, double jumps, wall jumps, etc. It is extremely fitting in a platforming environment. It actually has a rare opportunity for Nintendo to have an interesting story mode without secondary mechanics. Blazblue had to rely on a Visual Novel style of gameplay in order to have a meaty story. Nintendo can have two fun games in there. As for the storyline being stupid, that is an irrelevant issue.

Putting notably different 'mons like MewTwo worked, since he could talk and engage in pugilism with Ganondorf without distress. Jigglypuff is absurd enough to be fine, Pikachu is too iconic not to be in the game. Pokémon Trainer worked since he represented something greater than just a 'mon. Lucario seemed a little strange, but works fine I guess.
If they put like, a Garbador as a playable character, that's where I take issue with it. Now it just seems out of place. And not in the comical Jigglypuff way either, since (s)he's been permanently grandfathered into the series by virtue of being in the first one.

Frankly, if I like a game enough to do a Let's Play of it, I don't mind the people who made it getting money.
I would do 10,000 LP's of Ristar if it would convince Sega to make another one via cash inflow.

Let's get right back into it, shall we?
Today, we conquer the tower full of Bellsprouts. Which admittedly feels a bit like stomping on all the bulbs in a garden store and declaring yourself the victor. But I'm not the one who built a towering monument to a weed.
Aw, what? You mean I could've caught a Gastly here? Dagnab.
The ColonelKR. Eager, but useless.
You cannot lick Toad. Toad is...
unlickable.
Here we see a statue of a Bellsprout undergoing a colonoscopy.
I have no idea what this means.
They let just any old Tom, Dick or Troy in here, don't they. No standards for having monk like names. They don't even assign you one, you just get to be Troy. Or Sterance. Or something else that's also a terrible monk name.
Oh look! Weegee is getting him some custom burned CD's. So maybe this isn't actually a monastery. Maybe it's just a place where Bald men hold talent contests for pirated goods.
Weegee, seen here forgetting how words work.
I'd hardly consider a painting of a Bellsprout to be powerful after climbing the tower. I'm pretty jaded on Bellsprout iconography at this point.
Man. Short game.
Theeeeeeere we go. Now that's a monk name.
Let's start with our favorite Rock Snake, shall we?
ROCKY NO
IT'S JUST LIKE THAT ONE MOVIE WHERE ROCKY GOES INTO A BIG IMPORTANT FIGHT AND THEN LOSES.
God, what was that one called.
Then BP came out to avenge our short lived companion and had an exchange of blows that resulted in him actually running out of moves. Perhaps I should be grinding more.
And I won! It only cost me my pet rock.
Good god Joey. I'm having a moment.
God
High Tailin it out of here.
Might as well loot the body.
And there he goes.
Go tell Token I say hi.
*sniff*
Good lord toad, put that thing away.
I kid. I will be explicitly asking you to flash for the remainder of your days so I can see things. And offend Geodudes.
Oh hey! That reminds me! I haven't caught a Pokémon in the dark caves yet! I can go replace Rocky!
If I could swear here without reprimand, you can guarantee this sentence would be much more profane.
So what should I name this Level 2 Zubat? This completely unasked for member of my team who is guaranteed to be more a burden than a help.
Say Hello to- oh god that joke is so bad I can't even type it.
So I went out to grind a bit. Make hello:) more useful.
You kidding me? I could've caught a Gastly out here, too? Man. Dooker luck.
Let's see if we can't get a more useful party member while we're here.
Something looks a bit off with this one.
More accurate, but less amusing.
Hoo-a! Time for some sweet Unown action!
Unless it faints.
Which it does.
PROFANITY

Right then. Let's continue.
Ah, Sprout Tower. The tower full of Bellsprouts. Accurate, if a little boring. Who named this place, anyway?
Ah. Monks. That would explain it. Never really pictured monks as being the type to go cockfighting with their garden salads.
Take that, regard for my fellow man! Now I can take this victory onward to beat up all your friends. Like any normal 10 year old.
Oh! Sprout Tower is a new place! I can catch something new here! LIKE A BELLSPROUT THAT WOULD BE SO COOL
Are you kidding me.
Are you completely serious right now.
This is ridiculous. I'm beating up this level 4 Rattata with my level 4 Rattata.
I didn't even know you could catch something other than a Bellsprout in Sprout Frickin Tower.
Noooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooo.
Oh well. You died as you lived, A. Being disappointing.
And now you have a replacement. So after a valiant battle with a level four male Rattata, I've lost my level four male Rattata and replaced him with a level four male Rattata.
Anyway.
Nothing like stealing medicine from a monastery to cheer me up.
I'm sure this means something. To someone. Presumably.
What the heck kind of name for a monk is Edmond.
BP seen here in one of the rarest activities for its species: becoming useful.
I wish I knew how to quit you.
Boy. Trainer Joey is actually a terrible trainer. Go figure.
I would just like to take a moment here to point out this Hoppip. I was off grinding, and I came accross a Hoppip who only knew Splash, Synthesis, and Tail Whip. The only things it could do were nothing, heal itself, and lower my defense. How on earth did it survive this long.
It was a this point that Joey called me for the second time this play-through to battle me. At which point, PaperLuigi proved his worth by showing he is among the top percentage of all Rattata.
I decided to go investigate what was actually in town at this point. I found this young man.
You mean if I'd caught a Bellsprout in Sprout Tower I could have an Onix right now?
Great.
A new Route, a new party member to be found. This guy just straight up gave me a rock. Just "Hey, you. Take this rock."
Let's go look in some tall grass.
AW HECK YEAH BELLSPROUT
DELICIOUS
You are an Onix waiting to happen my friend.
Yes. Giiiive me your rooooocks.
We had some good times, Fodder.
Mmm yeah. Sweet delicious rocks.
C'mere, rocks.
Welp. That's a terrible name I can never change. Oh well.
New Route, new buddy. I missA Fodder.
Except no wait I can't. No new Pokémans until you've beaten the gym says... this guy. Who is this guy? You're not a cop. You can't tell me where I can and can't go. Why do you get to be the arbiter of preteen foot traffic? Who vested you this authority? Who even has the authority to do that?
Accepting Joey's phone number may have been a poor decision.
Time to go beat Sprout Tower.
