Yeah, thinking about it... "Hero is defeated" doesn't make sense, since it'd stop any other timelines from happening after it.

It makes more sense as a timeline that Link left behind when time traveling and never returned to, thus leaving Ganon to "win."

Don't really get why OoT Link being defeated is the only one that splits timelines. Or is he just so pathetic as to be the only Link that could possibly fail?


Nowhere does it suggest that's the only one that splits timelines. They have just chosen to have the games made thus far branching off of that.

EDIT: Also, does he actually time travel in any of the others before it to even make alternate timelines possible?

He was talking about the single player story mode. You can only use your Mii, because it's supposed to be like your character interacting with the others.

Online multiplayer is dumb though, yeah.

That said, you can select characters in local-multi

And this is a game where the character is literally just an avatar, anyway, so it's not worth getting upset over.

Unlike many of the previous Zorros (real name: Don Diego de la Vega) brandishing whips and swords, the hero of the new installment will live in the future -- specifically a desolate and post-apocalyptic one, according to a person familiar with the film who asked not to be identified. A Fox spokeswoman declined to comment.

In this version, Zorro will be less a caped crusader for justice than a one-man vigilante force bent on revenge, in a western story that has echoes of both Sergio Leone and "No Country for Old Men."

They're doing this to The Lone Ranger, too.

I used imgburn to turn the file into an iso.

I then wrote the iso to a disc.

After it was done burning the DVD, it was a f***ing MKV file.

Well played, icon.


That's not the program's fault.

An iso is just a solitary "image" of all the files on a disc that tells a burner what to burn/where/how. So by turning an MKV into an iso, you were simply telling it... To burn the MKV.

EDIT: Which basically means you need to convert the MKV into a readable file for whatever you're trying to play them on.

Because the context changed the minute we called you out for saying every rivalry in Pokemon is the same.

You even say that you know they're the same because you've played the games.

That's a technicality. Red/Blue represents the Pokemon franchise, basically. It's not like the rivalry formula ever changes in those games.

Like uh... Gold vs Silver is diet Red vs Blue but the similarity is still there.

And I've played most of the Pokemon games. The dynamic doesn't change much. The same general idea is there. The closest you've got to change is Diamond vs Pearl where they work together for a few things, but for most of the game it's basically just a very weak version of Red vs Blue.


You were definitely talking about the games and nothing to do with voting. You didn't change to talking about voting until after 4 people told you that you were wrong.

Like, I don't even know how the argument went on so long, because I wasn't even talking about voting.

I was just saying how Red/Blue as a rivalry is only in one game (with reference, but no expansion, in GSC). You then told me it didn't matter since every Pokerivalry is the same, and I explained to you how they aren't.

You then basically tried to tell me I was wrong.

Don't even know how it went beyond that.

So now your argument is "Squall/Seifer fans won't vote for Cloud/Seph, but Gold/Silver fans will vote for Red/Blue."

After saying how much voters dumb things down.

So you're basically pretending it's not Final Fantasy vs. Pokemon.

I'm not even getting into that argument with you.

You told me Red/Blue didn't count as being from one game because every Pokemon rivalry "is the same."

I told you how they aren't.

Leaving it at that.

--
SEP Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996

And I never said "only Red/Blue fans are voting for Red/Blue."

The argument started because you said "Nintendo wins because they do the same crap over and over, and rivalries from multiple games do better than rivalries from one game."

And I said Red/Blue IS from one game.

And you said I simply stated a technicality because Pokemon rivalries are "all the same" and "never change."

And then we explained they weren't the same and they do change.

And then I have no idea what you changed your argument to.

What's this argument about anyway? That Red/Blue aren't drawing votes based on the whole series?


He's basically arguing that it doesn't matter that it's Red/Blue, and it could be any "rivalry" from Pokemon and still work because nobody differentiates between them since they're "all the same."

EDIT: It stemmed from the fact that he said rivalries from multiple games do better than rivalries from one game, and I said Red/Blue IS from one game. And then he said they're all the same and I only listed a technicality.

The "feel" of the rivalry is always the same, even if the specifics are different. That's the important part here.


No, it's not. Unless you think every voter is literally dumbing it down to "That character you fight occasionally" every single time. And if they're doing that, well... I hate to think what that means for every other rivalry.

Besides, you're the one that said people may feel differently if the dynamic was any different in later games. It IS, you just refuse to see it.

Well, I've only played RBY, and that was like twelve years ago, so I'm not going to get into the details of it. You just brought up the point that the 'main doesn't even care' for the other games, and I just don't remember Red ever actually doing any 'caring' in RBY either. The rivalry may be more apparent, I don't know, but Red doesn't contribute much on his end.


Well, the Main doesn't contribute much of anything by character other than what's said about him.

In RBY, it's flat out said that you've been rivals for a long time, and you can tell by how deeply invested in it Blue is. It implies Red is just as much.

In GSC, you don't even know who the "rival" is and he doesn't even share your goal.

in RSE you meet the people along your travels and become friends without overlapping goals/etc.

And then in DPP/BW, it flat out says you're childhood friends, with only Barry seeming outright competitive at all.

The protagonists all being mute obviously makes it so they can't contribute anything, but it's all in the implication of what's said about your character from the beginning. In RBY, it says "you've been rivals," implying a mutual rivalry.

You really should have given up on the argument long ago, because you clearly have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

In DPP, he's your friend, but he becomes the closest thing to a rival since RBY. GSC is entirely one-sided, since the two don't even have the same goal. The same goal isn't shared in RSE, either. In DPP, both you and Barry do have the same goal that you compete for, even if you work together at times. Working together occasionally doesn't suddenly make something less of a rivalry, you know. You seem to be getting that confused. Gold wants to become the league Champion. Silver just wants to be strong/wants power, and doesn't care how he gets it. That isn't a rivalry.

Wait, what. Since when has the 'main character' ever actually cared about anything here? It's not like Red gets all emotional and into it when Blue randomly pops up for a fight.


The implication is there from the moment of "He's been your rival ever since you were young" or whatever. Like, it attaches an emotional rivalry from the beginning. It's not like Gold/Silver where you randomly run into the guy, or RSE/DPP/BW where you're clearly friends first. Obviously it's hard to show since the Mains are mute, but the implication is definitely there in what's said and how Blue reacts.

Ohhh, right. Yeah, DPP was probably the "closest" to RBY, but that wasn't even really a rivalry, either. ADHD kid wasn't really like "OH MY GOD I HAVE TO BE BETTER THAN YOU I AM THE ULTIMATE I WIN ALWAYS YOU WILL GO DOWN YAAAAAAAH" and Main didn't really give a damn.

Yeah, you've seriously never played them.

RBY: A true rivalry. Childhood rivals working toward literally the exact same goal, with the same purpose, same intent, and wanting to one up the other every chance along the way.

GSC: Main literally could not give two s***s about the "rival." The rival is a criminal that simply wants to be strong/wants power, and only becomes obsessed with defeating the Main because he can't see how somebody so "weak" is better than him. While the Main is just like "Uh, whatever, dude."

RSE: You don't even have a rival. The chick cares more about completing her Pokedex than actually battling, and Wally only ever battles you to see how strong he's come along the way with and without your help, only caring about beating you at Victory Road, and even then only using it to see he still needs to become stronger.

DPP: ...I can't remember how DPP worked, to be honest, but it wasn't really a rivalry.

BW: Three childhood friends. One really doesn't care and just doesn't want to be a weakling, and the other only becomes frustrated over not being as strong as he thinks he is.
