Persona battle themes are actually usually pretty on point

You gotta admit Persona is weird. 4 probably has the most odd choices for battle theme out of the series.

Just double-checking. You're ranking based on how they are as themes for battle and not just as how good the songs may or may not be? Listened to a few of them that sound like great songs but not great battle themes.

Pretty much, but my criteria for battle theme isn't just a song that gets me pumped up. I was thinking that it should get my hyped, yeah, or it should add a sense of tension, or inspire me to fight and defend what's important, or just be a fun song to battle to. If I can picture myself fighting to the song, or if I'd want to, that's a good thing. Usually I'll point out if it doesn't sound right to battle for me.

The Persona songs are kind of perpendicular to this format but Persona usually is.

It's Die Hard. T2 goes back into the sci fi pile.

Why should sci fi be its own genre? There can be sci fi action movies (Terminator), sci fi thrillers (Alien*), sci fi survival movies (the Martian), sci fi noir (Blade Runner), etc. In movies it seems to be more of a setting than a genre, while in literature, while it can be differentiated as such, science fiction and fantasy will more often adhere to a similar adventure style. Some, like 2001 or Interstellar*, follows this too, discarding Terminator as being sci fi rather than action seems silly.

*I haven't seen these movies so I could be off whatever

dunno why my nominations are so bad, didn't intentionally pick weak songs.

I never said they were bad, just that Van al Tag and Elfin are my shit. Your Shining Force videos were kill yesterday by the way. I'd already listened to them once, but I could make a better review if you could find replacement videos. The ones I found weren't consistent.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4 is a game I can't recommend enough, it's a console length and quality RPG and it's on sale for four dollars, twelve normally.

Bullet Heaven 2 is a top-down shoot-em-up with the same price and level of quality.

If you're interested in either of those genres then they're worth looking at in my opinion.

Man you like kupo707

You should've nommed some EBF battle themes! they would've done better than some of yours

This argument is literally "Well this character has being the fastest thing as his entire character point, to the point reality writes itself to compensate how fast he's going and conventional laws of motion don't apply..." "NUH UH GOKU IS SUPER DUPER BILLION FASTER"

So you think Flash can move quadrillion's of times faster than light?

I think scarlet was saying that, to the Flash, speed is irrelevant. Velocity is the change in position over the change in time, but time in this manner doesn't exist to the Flash. Goku moves fast. The Flash can change his location in time as you might change your location in space. Goku can move from one location to another in a short time. The Flash can change his location in space or time, and, as such, he has a mastery of "speed" that Goku cannot dream of.

In summary: your question can't be answered because it doesn't make sense. Might as well ask an animated 2 dimensional drawing if it can jump higher than a person.

No i think that would be when he whistled the multiverse into existence.

Eh. You'll have to get LotM to be sure (or ask me again in a year), but I've heard that past the Schwarzchild radius, there are no paths in space-time that lead away from the black hole.

Light moves at a constant speed in all reference frames, but the escape velocity of another body refers to the speed needed to escape the body from the surface. If light always moves at the same velocity, it should move at c near the center and at the edge. This implies that space-time itself must be curved to the point of no escape. Or something.

I mean, yes but it's my understanding that Superman can "move faster than the speed of light".

The whole "all of space is curved inwards in a black hole" thing is what you get as a result of the fact that no particle in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light. The entire space time curvature equation is made with that assumption.

So...maybe explain to me first how the fuck Superman travels faster than the speed of light, and if you can explain that, it should become trivial to explain how he escapes a black hole.

Fair point. I wonder what would happen if an Albecurrie drive tried to escape from a black hole.

I'm looking through the channels right now and Fox News is airing something called "Andrew Jackson: Hero Under Fire"

Is he under fire for something other than Genocide? Cause like..."he's the president that committed genocide" is pretty much the extent of my Andrew Jackson knowledge.

He killed the national bank, which some might find bad I dunno. He also eliminated, briefly, the national debt, which might not be as pure as an accomplishment as it sounds.

Like you see "William Sha" and your mind fills in either kspeare or tner.

When you see "William Sha", you mentally pronounce "Sha" as "Sh" or "Sh", not "She". You're already filling it in with a vowel that sounds much more like that in Shatner than in Shakespeare, so you'll associate the blanks with him more readily

or not e

oh thank god, someone else here knows ipa

where are you in all the topics where people are like "omg do you say cah-ramel" or "care-amel" or "ca-ramel" and no one realizes that the shit they're typing doesn't actually make any sense or that dialects exist

Granted, I had to Google it to remember exactly what is what, but yeah, I recognize when it makes things easier. I briefly debated using it on a college essay to describe how to pronounce "apoapsis" before deciding it was weird and pretentious.

this doesn't work well since "Sha" is pronounced differently from "Shake"

It's got fantastic worldbuilding with the best-written NPCs I've ever seen. I think that's just a part of what makes it special, adding to a charm unique to the game. You can feel how much love was put into it. The world seems alive and joyful and worth protecting. I fell in love with the game not during some amazing plot event or love for the battle system but when two of the characters just were having a nice picnic together.
