    It's up.
     
    After a delay to polish the animation, it's up, for the internet to see.
     
    I will put my thoughts in a spoiler tag, cause you should really go see the episode for yourself. Yeah, do that now!

    Oh right, it's almost new year's. Well, how about an amazing Smash 4 video to help hammer that point in? Featuring one Jayroach3 and his incredibly godlike Shulk!

    As the video states, pure optimization indeed. Even more impressive, some of these clips actually feature true combos. As in, you can't airdodge or DI away from them, and they are guaranteed to land. This guy really knows his stuff, and it made for an INCREDIBLE video that I am still watching over and over again thanks to just how freaking awesome it is.
     
    On another note, can someone find the remix that was used? I know it's some Touhou song... But I don't follow Touhou and have no idea what to look for. xD

    So I haven't been on here much lately, haven't I? Sorry bout that, but I've been getting into the Pokken Tournament competitive community and been trying to improve my play hard these last few months. Also been watching people stream, talking on Discord, etc.
     
    Since it was basically 5 hours away from me, I decided to visit the Evolution Championship Series 2016 to compete in Pokken Tournament and meet the people of the community! I've been practicing hard to get in shape for this event, but we'll just have to see what shall happen. I just wanted to give an update and let you all know that was what I've been planning for lately, heh.
    Not sure who will even care at this point, but that's what I've been up to yeah. Hope to make people proud with me and my Lucario!

    Sorry for not updating this yesterday, I was busy. I'll try to make this list daily, but no promises. Anyways, onto the next song!
     
    #15: Sonic 4: Episode 2
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqWrJBhXOF0
     
    Most of my problems from the Episode 1 theme are still present, but not as extreme. It's ever so slightly longer, and each part has some variety, with an attempt at the end to build up an "epic" feel. However, I still don't like the instrumentation, and the song is still on the short side. In a nutshell, it's better than Episode 1's song, but not by much.
     
    See you again guys, I promise some better music will be coming soon!

    So after playing around in Brawl for a while, I've noticed that I like to play as Sonic, Kirby, and Pit. My friend noted I seemed to prefer characters who could easily rack up damage, yet had very few hard-hitting KO moves. That interested me upon hearing that, so I ask you guys now, what characters do you like to main in Smash Bros., and what do you think your playstyles are like?
  6. JiMing
    So here we are again! Apologies for not uploading yesterday, I kinda forgot... But anyways, let's get this starting up again!
     
    #13: Shadow the Hedgehog
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePWUTKEKySs
     
    Now we've got some lyrical compositions going on! To be honest, I Am... All of Me has always been one of my least favorite Crush 40 songs. I know some people will like a few of the metal overtones going on, but it's just needlessly dark and edgy for a Sonic game. Though that's a complaint I have with Shadow the Hedgehog in general. =P Also, I don't feel like the lyrics work as a song for a final boss. It does nothing to show off any spectacle and I don't feel as though it motivates the player in any way to win. But hey, all an opinion.
     
    Tune in tommorow (hopefully) for more musical goodness!

    I am currently in one.
     
    There was a school shooting threat in a nearby school, and they've been in lockdown since the beginning of today. Luckily I'm in a highly safe classroom, what with being upstairs and interior. I think this is more cautionary than anything, but one can never be too careful.
     
    Wish me luck.

    (author note, I forgot to do some profiles last post, so I'll add them to the current list of Pokemon Acquired)
     
    In no time at all, Jim was already at Dewford. The young boy thanked Mr. Briney as both of them wished each other good luck. First things first, Jim took time to explore the small town, talking to everyone in it. One child in particular rambled about how Potion Festivals were the hip and 'in' thing, asking the trainer in the making if they were hip at his hometown too. Jim answered no, and when questioned what was the in thing, shrugged and suggested Tiny Mushroom-dexes out of nowhere. Suddenly the boy began to ramble about how he knew about those all along, despite Jim having made it up on the spot. Entering the house next to him provided an even stranger situation, where everyone obsessed over Tiny Mushroom-dexes, despite Jim having only coming up with the term a few seconds back.
     
    .....And so he chose to ignore the rather... Strange inhabitants of Dewford, and headed to Route 106 to train. There he encountered several more Pokemon to catch, from fishing outside to exploring Granite Cave.
     
    Pokemon Acquired!-Buffshroom the Shroomish
    Lacking arms doesn't mean Buffshroom isn't a tough little Pokemon! Such strength can be be attributed to his hardy nature, as he always perseveres and never lets up, whether battling or running around. Being inside the PC gives him both plenty of space to run around in, and a wide variety of Pokemon to spar with. Buffshroom couldn't be any more ecstatic!
     
    Pokemon Acquired!-Maddie the Taillow
    Maddie doesn't think things through most of the time, and is in fact rather hasty. Another element for her lack of foresight is her pride in her power, believing she can take on anything that gets in the way. Despite both these attributes, the Taillow is actually a fairly pleasant Pokemon to be around, and has in fact befriended Major.
     
    Pokemon Acquired!-Bark the Nincada
    Bark is a very relaxed Pokemon. Almost nothing bothers her and she's yet to lose her temper. Even her mischievous isn't acted upon, as she simply laughs if an amusing situation happens to someone around her. For that reason, it's hard for Pokemon to hate her, yet they aren't entirely able to bring themselves to like her either.
     
    Pokemon Acquired!-Batmon the Zubat
    No matter his efforts, Batmon is not a very good vigilante. Being as mild as he is makes it hard to be threatening in any capacity. Despite this, his will to win is strong, and he doesn't take losses lightly. Perhaps with time, Batmon will become more effective at his self-chosen occupation, but that has yet to be seen.
     
    Pokemon Acquired!-Sabrina the Abra
    Sabrina has an overall quirky feel. She can often be heard muttering strange things, about dolls or childhood or other things. The other Pokemon are also frightened at her quick temper, as asking about the quirks usually ends badly. For now, Sabrina is one Pokemon that is usually ignored.
     
    Pokemon Acquired!-Bumomomo the Makuhita
    Bumomomo! Bumomomo! This Makuhita shouts his name often while training, making it hard to forget what he's called. Said training isn't for naught, as it helps him perform better when rashly throwing himself into battle. In stark contrast to Bumomomo's incredible girth, running is by far his preferred exercise.
     
    Pokemon Acquired!-Claus IV the Minun
    Claus is jolly and has a sunny outlook at life. She loves making friends and having fun. When the going gets tough, Claus has the perseverance to push through such difficult situations. Anyone who befriends her gains a loyal, reliable ally.
     
    Pokemon Acquired!-LightningDog the Elektrike
    In contrast wirh his fellow Electric-type, LightningDog acts carefully, be it meeting new Pokemon or otherwise. This doesn't stop him and Claus from being good friends regardless, as both share an incredible tenacity for tough situations. Turns out opposites DO attract!
     
    Pokemon Acquired!-Skullkraken the Magikarp
    Magikarp are seen as pathetic and worthless, but Skullkraken doesn't let this get him down. It wouldn't be right for such a jolly Pokemon to get upset over the thoughts of others, after all! And once more, another prankster enters the fray. What elaborate schemes will the PC need to endure now?!
     
    Pokemon Acquired!-Davy the Tentacool
    Jellyfish are scary. But Davy isn't, being a rather timid indivisual. This does not make him a doormat by any means, in fact, he is rather stubborn about maintaining his position and opinions. No one exemplefies quiet strengh more than Davy!
     
    After training and Bree evolving into Combusken, it was time for Jim to take on the Dewford Gym and Brawly. It took a quick blackout basement puzzle to reach the Gym Leader, and before he knew it, the young boy had engaged his second Gym Battle. He led with Jade, due to Confusion and Disarming Voice being two STAB moves strong against fighting types. Jim expected to have to switch out to Crocea Mors by the time Makuhita showed its' face, but to his delight, Jade could take on both of Brawly's Pokemon head on with nary an injury. Within four moves, the battle was over and Jim was crowned the victor, all thanks to one Ralts.
     
    Everyone in the team congratulated Jade, even Stormageddon and Gerridae stopped bickering to do so. To see initially one of the weakest members of his team come so far warmed Jim's heart and raised his spirits. Meanwhile, Jade, who had been ostracized from his own kind for his wishes now found himself celebrated amongst friends, and got a chance for his true potential to shine. What more could anyone ask for?
     
    Afterwards, Brawly told Jim to head back to Granite Cave to find Steven. Previously, the cave had been blocked off by 'mural enthusiasts', but now they were nowhere to be found. He met Steven staring at the mural in question, depicting a massive, ancient Pokemon with destrictive power. Jim shuddered, at least whatecver THAT was didn't exist anymore. Afterwards, Jim was instructed by Steven to deliver the Devon Parts to a man named Captain Stern in Slateport. With Mr. Briney being willing to ferry him over there, Jim arrived in the city in no time flat.
     
    Exploring the beach and city was a blast for Jim and his team. Even if their primary goal was to become the very best, sightseeing was always something to enjoy. Then they stumbled onto the museum, and there was a line blocking the entrance. Those making up the line made everyone wary and nervous, and for good reason
     
    They were Team Magma members.

    So I was bored today, and after spending some time on the internet, started thinking of the outcomes if Kirby and MegaMan fought each other.
     
    I mean, both can copy abilities, but MegaMan is limited to the abilities of Robot Masters he defeats. Kirby has a much wider range of powers at his disposal at any other time, even if MegaMan keeps every ability he obtains.
     
    MegaMan however, is far less vulnerable than Kirby in their normal states. MegaMan has constant access to the Mega Buster, while Kirby can pretty much only inhale enemies or exhale air. Kirby is far more durable however, because he's practically like bubblegum, so he can withstand a great variety of attacks. Spikes are instant kill for MegaMan.
     
    There's probably a lot more information I overlooked, but this was just a random idea I thought up of. Who do you guys think would be the victor?
  10. JiMing
    So I've got some money to spend on stuff, and I wanted to spend it on something for the 3DS. I'm interested in getting an eShop card to spend on games(particularly from the Virtual Console), but I really want to get Mario and Luigi: Dream Team. So what do you guys think I should do?
     
    P.S. I will not get New Leaf, so please don't say "GET NEW LEAF!1111one" *sets up barricade*
     
    P.S.S. Next entry will be a Fictional Character Face-Off, so feel free to suggest stuff matches for that.
  11. JiMing
    Whaaaa the game is releasing tommorow in the States?
     
    I AM SUPER EXCITE
     
    Really though, I seriously regret not getting Bowser's Inside Story when it came out, and I'll make sure not to miss this game. It looks pretty awesome. I mean, check out this trailer!
     

     
    It pretty much just SCREAMS awesome.

    In no particular order, here's my personal roster of characters I use in Smash 4!
     

     
    I'd like to think I use a pretty good variety of characters, and this is by no means final of course... But hey! This is who I tend to Smash with the most at the moment when playing with friends.
     
    The personalized roster creator I used to make this can be found here.

    Soooo... Yeah, I got this last weekend instead of Fire Emblem Fates. Yeah, I'm a sucker for crossovers, what can I say? I'm just super entertained by all this dumb dialogue between the characters and the literally bonkers interactions between them. Phoenix Wright being asked by X if his badge can shoot lasers cracks me up every time.
     
    Gameplay's solid, nothing amazing. Story is simple and kiiiiiiiiinda dumb to be honest. But I'm pretty certain no one who purchased this bought it for the gameplay or story. I certainly didn't, I'm just looking for stupid silly fun with characters who really have no right to be talking to each other at all. Helps that the localization was pretty well done, what with having everyone be in character while still providing silly lines filled with references and nods to their own series (or in the case of Xiaomu, reference literally anything). So yeah, I guess I felt like having something mindless and goofy to chuckle at with a bunch of iconic and not-so-iconic characters tossed into some kind of extravagant salad bowl.
     
    Side note, Strider Hiryu and Hotsuma have made me realize how much I adore that stupid cliche of the character pausing for a moment after an attack to sheath their sword or pose awesomely with the enemy suddenly being sliced and diced. It's really stupid and makes no sense but I love it so much.
  14. JiMing
    So I just listened to a bunch of battle themes from Pokemon X and Y, and I... I don't know, I guess I'm disappointed? I don't know how I'd describe the feeling of liking the Trainer battle theme more than the Gym Leader or Elite Four themes. I seriously don't get how that could happen, given the excellent music from previous generations. I read a comment that sums up why I dislike the themes so much.
     

     
    That explains it a whole lot better than I could have. I heard the route and city themes were okay, but I don't know for myself. Oh well, time to play the HeartGold SoulSilver Gym Leader theme on repeat again!

    There is a game project I am assisting with by Unown Mercury, and so far besides me, there's a spriter. But while he might be able to mess around somewhat with LMMS, it would be waaaaaaaaaay better if we had an actual composer on board! So anyone who's potentially interested in partnering with him, I suggest you contact him through PM. Just keep in mind that the position will be unpaid.
