Koichi Sugiyama's passing is an example of how weak people have gotten, unwilling to have respect for the dead or separate art from artist.

May he rest in peace.

It makes me laugh a little when Smash fans bring up "muh polish" when comparing Nickelodeon All Star Brawl to Smash Ultimate.

Smash 4 fans went on and on about polish in Smash 4 days when comparing it to Melee but they aren't playing 4 anymore. They're playing Ultimate despite its visuals being worse while Melee lived on.

Should another Smash game come out in the future and Ultimate players immediately drop Ultimate for that new "polished" toy while Melee and NASB live on, I won't be surprised at all.

Something funny happened to me today.
I have some good friends that invite me to streams and play multiplayer games with them both in parties online and even friends that invite me to events offline.
Yet in plenty of online discussions, I find these absolute losers that say "you must be fun at parties" when they have nothing of actual value to add or say just cuz they disagree with something I say that I can fairly back up. Considering how many good friends I have that want me around, yeah. I am. Now make an actual counterargument lol.
Another such person said such dumb stuff and it really helps me appreciate the friends I have that invite me to things.

Loving this game to bits already.

I'm fine with Sora. Another dream comes true and another dumb imaginary fan rule bites the dust.

Hearing the "complaints" about NASB feels familiar.

Considering the fact Nintendo tried to cancel a Melee tournament where the money would have gone to cancer donations, I would NOT be surprised if they specifically made their last character reveal October 5th JUST for Nickelodeon All Star Brawl making their blood boil that competitive Smash fans are excited about it but Nintendo can't give the game a cease and desist.

Really didn't care about anything shown in the Direct.
All the games I'm already excited for, I know are coming out soon anyway with Nickelodeon All Star Brawl, Shin Megami Tensei 5, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania and Mario Party SuperStars.
Unless the final Fighter in Ultimate is Waluigi or Jibanyan, I'm extremely unlikely to care about that either.

Cranky Kong after realizing he'll be in the Super Mario Movie:

Seems Ren and Stimpy are one character even though I would have preferred to play Ren by himself.

Oh well.

I'm sure I'll still enjoy playing as them.

So about Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania's "paid DLC", it seems they pulled a bit of a fast one on us. Now I'm happier I pre-ordered it.

Today's my birthday and I got a bunch of money that helped me pre-order both Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl and Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania. Having a great day!

I legitimately hope Ren and Stimpy are standalone, separate characters.
CatDog already has the whole tandem thing going on and I'd rather play as Ren by himself.

Smash players: "Man [insert projectile character] here is so lame."

Nick All Star Brawl players: "Just grab the projectile lol."

A friend of mine who ended up getting SUPER into Yo-Kai Watch sorted the current Smash Ultimate roster into Yo-Kai Tribes.

It's no exaggeration at all to say "Orcanos is the Landorus-T of Competitive Yo-Kai Watch 2"

There's almost no reason to not run him. He has the highest HP stat in all of Yo-Kai Watch 2 and the 2nd highest Defense stat and his Strength stat is also super high. He gets a Skill that boosts his Defense just for being front and center and being Tough Tribe makes it so his Defense can get even higher.

Orcanos is a super powerful wall in YKW2 meta.

So how come this guy goes from being everywhere in YKW2 meta to being nowhere to be seen in YKW3 meta?

He wasn't nerfed at all. His stats appear to be exactly the same in 3.
The reason you don't see him as much in YKW3 meta is actually simple.

The biggest being that in 3, magic attacks ignore Defense, making magic attackers in general much stronger compared to how they were in 2. Now any Yo-Kai that is a magic attacker with a high Spirit stat is turned into a powerful wallbreaker.

Having high Defense isn't as good as it used to be.

Orcanos's Skill was also changed slightly. It still has to be front and center to buff its Defense but now it has to be on the center TILE. Now it has to work more to get that buff especially since the center tile is the easiest to cover with Soultimates. Plus, the grid being 3x3 and standing in the center, you can't defend BOTH your teammates with a vertical link like you would with tons of other Tanks. This stuff made it so Orcanos had to compete with way more S Ranks to justify its spot on a team. It still has incredible stats and a good Skill but everything changed around it so the stuff it could usually get away with no longer works.

How to make Donkey Kong into a better game than it already is:

I will update my status and you can't do a thing to stop me.

First Hello Kitty was an underworld god in Yo-Kai Watch Puni Puni and has now abused her power to traverse into Super Monkey Ball.

The new Dokev trailer came out and it got me super excited.
Of course, right on schedule, Pokemon fans crawl out of the woodwork to defend the honor of Pokemon as another monster collector game had the audacity to not only exist but look a million times better.
Alot of Pokemon fans sure love to say you can't compare Pokemon to other games in the genre when Pokemon is at an obvious, glaring disadvantage.
From what we've seen anyway, Dokev has way more in common with Yo-Kai Watch than Pokemon anyway.

I just want to point out the fact Yo-Kai Watch games have like 4 victory animations for each monster and most of them have the monsters dancing.

Pokemon BDSP is using the walking animations to "dance" in Contests.

I really don't agree with Ranked matches not being available in BDSP or LA. Ideally, you should be striving to make a better single player AND multiplayer experience which is part of the reason I praise YKW so much for providing that with Busters and balancing its online competitive format. These games are willfully alienating the people that spend so much time stat maxing for the competitive format that some Pokemon fans are willing to pretend is the "challenge and postgame" of a Pokemon game.

I've had this conversationthat made me think.

Some Pokemon fans act like the physical/special split is some kind deep and intricate feature.

Honestly, it's not. Other monster collectors years older like Dragon Quest and Shin Megami Tensei had their stat layouts already organized for this kind of thing and followed the traditional RPG stigma that any elemental attack is a magic attack.

If it wasn't for sites like Bulbapedia, we wouldn't even know this kind of information since the game doesn't tell you at all which elements are physical like Normal and which elements use magic like Dragon.

So the physical/special split isn't really depth or new cuz it's just something other games had already. It's just something they made to somewhat remedy years of bad game design.

Was searching for a particular image I had posted awhile back and stumbled upon people using screenshots of things I said to call out the nonsense that Pokemon SWSH was and still is and them wholeheartedly agreeing with it. Pretty flattering that I can say things plainly so others don't have to.

Hearing about how Pokemon Unite is a scummy pay to win game and Pokemon Go removing the quarantine benefits now of all times is saddening, yet completely expected.

Why do people assume a game they don't follow or keep up with is dead and then get surprised when it gets new content and updates when it's been around this whole time?
Are people just not aware of series outside the ones they focus on?

I unironically want Squidward to be playable in that new Nick All Star Brawl game.

Someone said they're worried Level-5 is gonna dissolve in Japan.

Yeah, I'm totally worried about the company that has 2 mobile games to its name that are among the top grossing mobile games in all of Japan with Ni No Kuni Cross Worlds and Yo-Kai Watch Puni Puni.

Idiot.

Bad news.
After about 5 years of care, my 3DS is falling apart so I need to get it repaired or more likely replaced.
Good news.
Figured out how to install Checkpoint and used it to back up the save data of my Yo-Kai Watch games.

God bless American, my human right to free speech and capitalism allowing me to buy and eat cheeseburgers so easily.

This guy makes some great discussion videos.

I think it's funny how people that try to discredit DistantKingdom will say his videos are stale and beating a dead horse as if PokeTubing in general isn't any different with most of it easy to label as repeating the same spoopy PokeDex entries, baseless repetititive theory videos, reciting info any fool can find on Bulbapedia or le epic funnee low ladder Pokemon Showdown gimmick team montage of making scrubs angry over no-skill luck factors, all of which have been around longer to beat their even long dead horse corpses.

Not like being "stale" makes his points any less true or relevant anyway.

I like this video.

People that constantly and very vocally get angry at a game, clearly don't enjoy it and yet continue to play it instead of doing anything about it are probably the most pathetic.

Doesn't matter what game it is.

You commonly see that kind of behavior out of Pokemon Showdown players.

They'll get angry at the other player for getting a random crit, random miss or losing because of a random damage roll despite the fact of it being neither player's fault.

YOU'RE the one that chose to play a game where that kind of thing is a problem, so be mad at the game.

Westerners that are losing their minds over games like Palworld despite Pokemon itself being just as morally corrupt and being a Dragon Quest knockoff will never not be funny to me.

I explained to a game dev whom is a Pokemon fan making his own monster collector all the stuff Yo-Kai Watch games do and the free DLC that comes with them.

He is now amazed at what the games were able to accomplish.

I love how scrubs angry about Wario Waft try to default to Little Mac's KO Punch.

As if Little Mac SHOULDN'T have the option to hold onto it anyway since the character is such hot garbage.

DK and Samus get to hold their charge attacks, tho it would be way better if they could more consistently combo into them so they could be all the better and more satisfying to play in a very unsatisfying game that is Ultimate.

Makes me happy people still get upset a character like Wario with such limited options demands so much skill and patience in what is still a campy, defensive, mashy mess that is Ultimate.

Took me a while, but I kind of knew you were right.
