Gohan would stop him.

Gohan in Super is a good deal below Goku.

If theyre both bloodlusted, either Goku speedblitzes or Ben transforms into Alien X. Although Alien X has its own problems of the 3-person jury thing. If we allow Ben to have a Saiyan option, Id say Goku still wins, seeing as Ben probably would be a weak saiyan and not have access to SS etc. He transforms into the average for that species. Even if he goes Ultimate, I think Goku could take it. If Ben is allowed to transform into any non-canon alien, then a Kryptonian Ben might win if we assume hes already charged with yellow sun. At that point it becomes a question if Goku could kill him before a transformation.

Kamen Rider is basically like Power Ranger afaik

James Gunn is, among other films, the director for Guardians of the Galaxy

---

Patient Gamer

Both initially during the release window and over the long term

im guessing PC being near 100% digital means lower costs/higher profit margins, but console sales having more volume?

James Gunn directed the 2001 live action scooby do? That movie was hilarious, loved the self-aware humour. It was parodying itself

Hope you enjoy it TC. Grind up and stack that cash

Patient Gamer

Are there any secrets or hidden event triggers etc I need to know? Missable items or side quests?

Patient Gamer

even just playing it once its amazing how obvious it is that this is a very replayable game. I feel like Ive taken in 100% of the game already but the point of replaying it is simply doing it better and faster and more skillfully

what does pot of greed do?

take the top 2 cards in your deck zone and transfer them to your hand zone

Im aware of the Hadoken but I didnt bother getting it tbh. I had the requirements filled but I wasnt planning on using it on my first playthough for the final stage bosses so I figured why bother. This is definitely a very replayable game though so I will definitely do it on a future play through. Also I plan on hitting up Maverick Hunter X on psp to mix it up for a future playthrough.

In terms of other games in the franchise, Ive played NES Mega Man 1-3, and Mighty Gunvolt if you wanna count that, lol. Also Battle Network 1 but thats totally different. I didnt like BN1 but still plan on giving BN2 and 3 a shot because theyre apparently a lot better. NES Mega Mans are all fun, so i plan on playing up to MM6. For X, Im going to play up to X5 and then jump to the Zero series

Junk DoppelWarrior+ Calculator deck was fun af too. As well as HeroCity decks with the option to go into Omni fusions, but not having that as the sole win condition. Man WC2011 was fun.

Patient Gamer

i only play the video games, not very often, and not many of the recent ones, 2011 is the most recent one Ive played. Monarchs is my favourite playstyle. Gaining advantage, summoning quick tribute fodder, and activating powerful effects off tribute monsters is very satisfying. I heard they now have specific archetype support cards and stuff. In 2011 its just generic cards with effects that lend themselves well to the playstyle

Took me only a handful of hours, over the course of 2 or 3 days. Previously the only experience with it Ive had is playing the intro stage once or twice, and not really being impressed with it. The intro stage is a pretty famous example of teaching through level design and I wholeheartedly agree, but the level itself doesnt really showcase how good the rest of the game is gonna be. The intro stage music is great though.

Now that Ive gotten to play the game proper, the gameplay is much quicker and more fun than my first impressions way back when. You start off feeling very stiff imo and even after I got the Leg parts I still felt that way, until I stumbled upon how you can use momentum from your dashes to dash jump, and later I also found out how you can use dash while sliding on walls to wall jump way further. It was satisfying slowly discovering all of Xs capabilities. I can tell this is probably a very popular game to speed run.

I used a minimalistic guide to get all the heart pieces and armour upgrades, and tbh I already feel like I know this game like the back of my hand and can replay it unassisted etc. Thats not a knock on the game being too small or something, but more so Im impressed with how little fluff there is in the levels. Theres absolutely no fat in the level design, everything thats in the game feels carefully designed to be challenging, or fun, etc. No busywork in the levels at all, no pointless areas, everything feels very intentional. The word I would use to describe the level design is efficient. The levels are very efficient in showcasing what the designers obviously wanted to show and nothing else. The mechanics of the game are given plenty of opportunitys to feel relevant.

Its not often I feel open to replaying a game right after playing it, but MegaMan X was so compact and efficient like I said, that Im honestly considering it, it wouldnt feel like a chore to repeat it immediately at all. I feel like future replays are going to be very entertaining. Especially now that Id have the prior knowledge and skill with all the technical skills like dash jumping and wall jump dashing, as well as knowing how to take advantage of the Charged versions of the sub-weapons, like the Shotgun Ice platform, Chameleon invisibility/invincibility, and Rolling Shield bubble. I can already tell how this game rewards skill and knowledge of the game already.

Speaking of subweapons, the bosses were pretty fun. Using the Boomerang takes Launch Octopus from one of the hardest Mavericks to the most brain dead easy boss in the game. Cut off his tentacles, then literally stand and shoot lemons, dash under him when he jumps towards you. No jumping required. The bosses were all pretty hectic to begin with when youre unfamiliar with their attacks, to very manageable once you start recognizing the patterns. Its almost like you slow down the game with your mind at that point. Grateful I used a save state to save before every boss encounter so I could immediately retry after dying. If I had to retry the whole stage each time I mightve gotten tired of it. But Im definitely excited to replay the game because I feel like Im so familiar with each boss, and theyre so much easier because of that. Again, this game really rewards the player for being familiar with the game. Even the final 3-stage end boss went from f*** this this is impossible, erratic jumping and way too many hazards on screen to wow this boss is pretty manageable now that Ive taken in the situation and I can see some clear telegraphs+patterns. Very fair game.

Ive only played a handful of SNES games so far but this game has such a badass soundtrack. Theyre all awesome but some standouts are Zeros theme, Storm Eagles stage, Boomer Kawangers stage, and the music at the end when X is standing on the cliff. In the intro stage, there are 2 themes, one when Zero shows up and scares off Vile, and another when Zero starts talking to X. Idk which song is which but both of them were kickass.

Only significant knock I would give this game is the ungodly amount of lag at some points. Especially during the minecart level and fighting the sea serpent in the water level. As well as a couple points in the Sigma stages. Again, Ive only played a handful of SNES games, but seeing lag on a cartridge-based game is unheard of by me. I understand this game can show a lot of action of screen at once, and that lag is a natural trade-off, but it was ridiculously apparent, and totally unavoidable. You HAVE TO go through it during the mine cart stage, and you HAVE TO fight the single sea serpent. So its not like I was intentionally going out of my way to lag the game. I get that its an old game but I dont think it should be excused for it.

Other than that technical limitation, the game was great fun and I really liked how I could notice myself getting better at the game as I played though it. I feel like I could run through this game twice as fast with half the difficulty if I played it again. It seems highly highly replayable and Im excited to play through it in the future and play the next games in the series.

overall, easier and shorter than what I was expecting, but the experience was great and I feel like those qualities are going to go a long way in making replays of this game fun. Music was top-notch. strong 9/10. I fully expect myself to bump that score up after replaying it

Trial set in Summer 2021. A terrible event is definitely gonna happen before then

Yes but I never buy games on or near release. I look forward to playing it in like a year or two lol

Excessive crouching, as an act of dominance/disrespect in a video game.

Patient Gamer

beat all 8 Mavericks and got all the upgrades. Onto the Wilys castle equivalent of the X games. Chill Penguin, Boomer Kwanger were definitely the easiest of the bunch. Id say Launch Octopus and Armored Armadillo were the hardest, but no one was hair-pullingly frustrating

Itll be worth it on PC with mods and whatnot

In the order I played/beat them, to the best of my memory

Emerald
Fire Red
Red Rescue Team
Crystal
Silver
Pokemon TCG
Yellow
Red
Ruby
Pearl
Ranger
Explorers of Darkness
Platinum
Explorers of Sky
Heart Gold
Black
Black 2
X
Blue Rescue Team
Sun
Gates to Infinity

think thats all of them. You know what I really want to see? More quality spin-offs. The world of Pokmon serves itself so well for so many different types of potential games. Id like to see a Pokmon-themed puzzle platformer or metroidvania

Halal means the animal is bled out before dying. There are other ways to prepare animal meat in religious contexts such as kosher and jhakta, but imo killing animals is not right any way you slice it.

TC if you mean south-Asian food, the key is a mix of stuff like onion, ginger, garlic, etc

Beaten Chill Penguin, Storm Eagle and Spark Mandrill. Spark Mandrill was hard af. Got the Legs and Head armor, as well as the hidden Heart tank and Sub tank in Storm Eagles stage, with some help. Gonna do Flame Mammoth next to get the Arm part, and then wing it from there.

If you have full health any health capsules you pick up will automatically transfer to the sub tank. You can use them to replenish health if you need it.

when I go to the weapon select screen it doesnt even allow me to hover over the subtank. Only the big section with all the weapons+escape

i found the sub tank in Storm Eagles stage, how do I use it? Also damn lol this music reminds me of that one ScrewAttack youtube channel

Theyre all coming, I have faith in that. In the meantime, there are plenty of other games to play

All the games were building up to an epic event featuring the modern-day protagonist (Desmond?) but Ubisoft f***ed that up by killing everyone off because they didnt want to pay for voice actors or something. It was supposed to lead to something really cool

Just beat the intro stage. Controls/physics arent as bad as I remember them being. Also, is it weird that on PlayStation consoles I use X for jump and Square for attack, but it feels weird on Nintendo consoles so I use A for jump and B for attack?

also this music is f***ing badass

---

Patient Gamer

Decided to do MMX followed by SMRPG, and then revaluate after that.

im aware about the dash mechanic (do chill penguin first!) but like, even the gravity of the jump feels weird. Maybe Im not remembering it properly but even a max height jump feels too low and he drops down way too fast. Either way Im gonna play MMX so I guess its just going to be something I need to get used to

---

Patient Gamer

Bump. Whats shorter/easier between SMRPG and earthbound?

and also Ive played the intro stage to MMX once or twice. Is it me or do the controls feel kind of... stiff? The running jumping and shooting all feel kind of off

All of these would be a first-time playthrough
