Being there for 3 months doesn't make it less likely she changes her mind than a year does, as of now. I guess what it might do is ensure that I know for sure where I stand.

She says that, but a year can change someone's mindset so idk

JIHYO IS DATING WHAT

She's so awesome. That guy is hella lucky. Beautiful, able to be cute or sexy, seems to have a great personality, good singer, etc. She's my bias in Twice and I think it's dope

Looks like it's a little quick but reactable to just block it

It murdered her Soul Charge, she lost so much meter doing that.

Still a ton of damage though - probably a little too much

I shall de-recommend Burly Men at Sea to everyone

It's just cutesy. Doesn't actually give a good story or good gameplay (hardly any gameplay, actually).

Got a brand new blues that I can't explain

I went for the platinum on Driveclub while only having the PS+ edition, which meant I had to replay the shortest available track like 300 times. It was the most efficient way, and I only had 5 other tracks to play anyways. I was going insane.

Currently trying to get the Red Dead Redemption 2 platinum and that hardcore sucks too. Lots of completely pointless fetch quests that mostly involve picking flowers and hunting animals over and over again.

This also reminds me that I wanted to get Soul Calibur at some point.

Do it, it's really good

Best overall Soul Calibur game since SCII, and best game casually in Soul Calibur since SCIII. I think it's either the best or 2nd best gameplay-wise in the series.

okay you better mean that 'knock knock' is one of her less good looks, and not that 'knock knock' is one of their less good songs

both actually

knock knock knock knock knock on my door is not a good hook imo

Their best song not called Fancy is Turtle (the only non-single I know of and actually the first Twice song I liked), and past that it's probably Heart Shaker.

Got a brand new blues that I can't explain

I've come to really like the girls from Twice

Too bad their music isn't fantastic. After Fancy I hoped they'd keep having some good stuff cause I still really like that song. The new Japanese singles are okay here and there but overall not that good.

Chaeyoung and Jihyo look hella nice in the Breakthrough MV though

Also I've grown to dislike the super grossly dense graphics of something like Uncharted 4 or Red Dead Redemption 2. Just thinking about the crazy amount of work put in for something that doesn't add to the emotion of the game at all.

wow awesome. I'll have to check out top 8 if they're online

I had to upload it myself because Dreamhack hadn't yet

I was not on stream because they didn't stream all of top 8. In fact, they streamed the loser's match to qualify for top 8, then a match for 7th, then top 4. It was weird.

Also the commentators had never played Soul Calibur VI past a casual level.

Shine beat me in here to get his medal. I managed a 3rd in SFV that weekend, so I came away from that weekend happy too.

I use Groh but I keep considering picking up other characters because he's got some issues. Stuck to him this far though!

My primary takeaway from this topic is "UT Arlington, really?"

ayyy congrats man

i did notice you improving pretty quickly even back then :)

I'm surprised I held my own then because I didn't know frame data except that Pat's 1K was +2 on hit and 1B was neutral on block. Even then, I didn't know how to apply that. I just kinda did stuff cause I enjoyed it.

SCVI, I know 10x what I knew back then. Couldn't imagine going back to that time of not knowing when I could punish or duck strings.

Dreamhack Dallas, Soul Calibur VI. Only 55 entrants, but there were some very high level players in the bracket. Like, world class players. Got 7th place.

@kateee Thank you for being my first training partner for Soul Calibur back in SCV. I suppose you could be thanked for driving my initial desire to play Soul Calibur competitively. Now I've won some money playing it >:D

I think XIII has the sprite that was used for me in the EpopMania pictures, so I'll let him get that for your picture @XIII_rocks

Bio:
First and foremost, Solio fights for glory. After that, he fights for the UCA. Thankfully, he can accomplish both at the same time.

Seeing the corruption in the UCA, he set his sights on the administration as his enemy. He became King, took the Undisputed HW Championship, and eventually became admin himself. However, in trying to make himself the face of the organization, he may have turned into what he hated. Eventually, he gained a knack for reminding everyone that he was the best - at least in his mind, he was. As long as he's having fun, he won't stop fighting his way through the line of opponents waiting to face him.

-Your style of wrestling
Imagine Wade Barrett. Brawler style with some lifting involved.

-Your age, build, ethnicity, nationality
19, lean but toned, white, American

-Your in-character partners, rivals, and such
Partners: GTM, Solioctopus
Rivals: XIII, Dp, Korayashi, Stevie3V

-Your out-of-character friends and not-so-friends
Not sure how to answer this so let's just say GTM is cool

I have never finished a Zelda game (and have only played one of them for more than 10 minutes, AND it was just Minish Cap).

When I first made online accounts as a middle schooler, my username was SolidSnake362. I thought Solid Snake was super cool because my brothers really liked Metal Gear Solid. I have never beaten a Metal Gear game other than Rising, and I have never played any of the others except for Twin Snakes (for about 30 minutes each).

Otherwise I'm good

Hm Fancy ain't a bad song

It's hella catchy, and I like the melody. It's just kinda tossaway with the lyrics of course. Can't really ask a TWICE song to be too useful there though.

not the departure i think some were expecting but really why fix what's not broken.

and chaeyoung wow (been saying this since forever tho)

it's still not great music but it's still kinda catchy and will still sell like crazy

I think Chaeyoung is possibly the most striking of all the girls in TWICE, but she may be one of the least pretty. Still attractive of course.

Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ardyn

Not a bad piece of DLC. Pacing was off. Combat was interesting I guess. Story was solid albeit the VA was really cheesy at times.

Conan Exiles

I didn't really beat this because I hardly even played it. I just got the platinum through the admin panel. That counts right??

Got a brand new blues that I can't explain

And some honorable mentions because there's good songs that didn't make it onto that list

BESTie - Love Options*
Dalshabet - From Head to Toe (Subin solo)
Eyedi - Sign, Caffeine
Fromm - Our Sparkling Beginning, Midnight Driver
Girl's Day - Don't Forget Me*, Don't Be Shy
Heize - Wind, First Sight, Sorry
Mamamoo - Memory, Better Than I Thought
Minah - 11 degrees
Solar - In My Dreams, Alone People, Nada Sou Sou
Subin - Strawberry
Twice - Turtle*
Yerin Baek - I Don't Know, See You Again

Some miscellaneous notes on these:
*A little too poppy for my tastes
- Subin's Strawberry has maybe the most beautiful arrangement of any of these and is seriously close to being on that main list, but the chorus's English is just off enough to matter
- Didn't think I'd have a Twice song on here, but here we are
- Eyedi's two songs in HM are also seriously close to making the main list because of their style alone.
- Heize's Wind is a piano interlude with no lyrics, and in spite of that, it's still an HM.
---

Got a brand new blues that I can't explain

Here's a list of all my favorite Korean songs by group/artist, because I was bored:

AOA - Without You / Confused / HEAT
Dalshabet - Obsessed
DEAN - Instagram
Eyedi - Not Lonely / Tomorrowland / Red
Fromm - Us On a Young Night / Hold Me Like It's Forever
Girl's Day - Something / Love Again
Heize - Dark Clouds / You, Clouds, Rain / Jenga / Run To You
Mamamoo - Don't Be Happy / Words Don't Come Easy / Friday Night / Be Calm (Hwasa)
Minah - I am a woman too
Subin - Nothing / Hate / Flower / Indeed, Maybe, Again / Swing / Circle's Dream / Moon
Yerin Baek - Across the Universe / Don't Leave Me Alone / Merry and the Witch's Flower / Maybe It's Not Our Fault / Dear My Blue / Our Love is Great

Plus some by multiple artists, ranked:
1. DEAN & Yerin Baek - Come Over
T2. Hwasa & Loco - Don't Give It to Me
T2. Heize & Dean - And July
4. Eric Nam & Cheeze - Perhaps Love

Yerin and Subin standing tall above everyone else.

Got a brand new blues that I can't explain

I would avoid watching produce myself, but I don't really watch those shows anyways.

I have decided Yerin's Our Love is Great album is my favorite Korean release front to back (not counting singles). Second favorite would be Fromm's Midnight Candy.
---

Got a brand new blues that I can't explain

My favorite Heize song is still And July.
---

Got a brand new blues that I can't explain

Hm, not the biggest fan of She's Fine.

She follows a pretty similar flow throughout the whole thing. First song is a little annoying, Umbrella Calls for Rain is a bit of a mess, and most of the rest are alright.

I think my favorite song on there is Tree Only Look at You. It's good, but not close to my favorite Heize songs.

Aside from Yerin's Our Love is Great album and Heize's Run to You, I haven't been impressed with Korean music this year.

im pretty meh on the yerin baek album

it's pleasant and fine but nothing special imo

That's how I feel about pretty much everything she's released before this (except for Across the Universe and Don't Leave Me Alone)

The upbeat songs and instrumental variation on this one make it more than pleasant to me.
---

Got a brand new blues that I can't explain

I've got Our Love is Great (the song) on repeat. That song is so groovy it almost hurts. Can't think of anything I don't like about it. The drums are popping, the melody is beautiful, it's danceable, the bass is killing it, it doesn't sound like any of her other songs, and it's got the best instrumental breaks.

She's special. If all her previous stuff didn't all sound so similar, then she'd be in contention for my favorite solo artist. This new release is the real deal.

Now I'm just eagerly awaiting Heize's She's Fine.
---

Got a brand new blues that I can't explain

The new Yerin Baek release is so, so good. She tries a lot of new stuff out and it pretty much all works really well. Highly recommend it.
---

Got a brand new blues that I can't explain

Started listening to Yerin Baek after hearing her duet with Dean called "Come Over". Lots of her stuff sounds the same, but I am in love with Across the Universe and Don't Leave Me Alone.

And with me knowing about her, this week should be very good for Korean music. Heize and Yerin Baek are coming out with albums.

New Mamamoo wasn't very good though. The single was straight trash and the side songs were kinda weak too.
