| Calwings 02/14/20 3:11:12 PM #151 | Jeff AKA Snoopy posted... Does the game involve sex? I'm confused. https://symphogear.fandom.com/wiki/Superb_Song (link contains some spoilers for the anime) In the show, all of the Symphogear users have a special all-or-nothing attack that's triggered with something called a "Superb Song". It takes a lot of energy and phonic gain to use, and the backlash on the Gear user can be anywhere between "really exhausting" to "it'll cost you your life" depending on who is using it and how compatible they are with their Gear. This attack has been called by other names by different translators despite now having an official term for it, including sometimes being called a "Climax Song", which is the name that the game seems to have used. In that scene, Hibiki was apparently saying that she felt like she burned through the energy equivalent of 100 Climax Songs, but the translators decided to turn it into a joke/innuendo by wording it like they did. Why? I don't know. But is it funny? Absolutely. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/R0spTzg https://imgur.com/rZPRuCC |

Something to keep in mind: there have been rumors (AKA leaks that have all but confirmed it) that there's going to be a free-to-play MW Or buy CoD WW2 for like $20 instead.

Campers have too many advantages (replenishable claymores/mines, soundwhoring loud footsteps, big and complicated maps with lots of places to camp in, fast time-to-kill means pre-aiming a doorway is a bigger advantage) and the counters to those advantages aren't strong enough, which made the game slow, campy, and just not very fun for me personally. I think it has a lot of the same problems that Ghosts had, but with more good stuff to sometimes make it fun in spite of those problems. It's been improving with each patch though, and this latest overhaul might help a lot.

| Calwings 02/12/20 11:52:55 AM #7 | EnterTheTekken posted... My only issue with MW2 was that killstreaks should've been use it or lose it. You could get the Harrier, and then get 10 kills before unleashing it. The Harrier alone can go nuts and get 7 kills. So now you are 15-17 kills in before launching the Chopper Gunner, which is spawn-killing at it's finest and an easy 10 kills. You could pretty much stroll into a Nuke. Between kill-chaining streaks, explosives being so powerful and not having a viable counter, and One Man Army being able to let a camper replenish all of their overpowered explosives without even putting themselves at risk to go out and pick up a Scavenger pack, MW2 just had way too much bullshit that couldn't be countered and led to campers racking up easy kills with little to no effort. The game was pretty fun in the rare times when the lobby wasn't filled with that bullshit (hence why I didn't put it in the very lowest tier) but lobbies like that were very rare in my experience with the game. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/R0spTzg https://imgur.com/rZPRuCC |

I don't think I'm going to exclude anyone; I kinda like the idea of winners being able to fight and try to keep their crown, and VGC is so broad, there's a lot of variation that I don't think it's super likely we'll get the same winner. Hell, Ezio barely made top 50 after his win. WafflehouseJK posted... The bright side of it being so long since the last one (almost 2 years), is there's been plenty of time for people's favorites to change around since last time, with tastes changing and more time for peeps to fall in love with new characters.

| Calwings 02/10/20 7:04:40 PM #5 | Nice, good to hear. Are you planning on excluding any previous competitors to get more new blood in, or is any game character free to nominate? My idea would be to leave out the two previous champions (Ezio and Dante) to at least guarantee a new winner, but have everyone else be fair game. Then, after this contest ends, have a three-way showdown between the new champion and the previous two to crown the ultimate winner. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/R0spTzg https://imgur.com/rZPRuCC |

| Calwings 02/09/20 6:40:57 PM #9 | Beveren_Rabbit posted... Phantom Blood, Dio That one I can sort of understand. I would say Dio and Jonathan are equally important to that part, but Dio does have more of an impact on the future parts. Battle Tendency, Cesar Definitely not this one though. Joseph is 100% the focal point of the story, and Caesar is literally not even in half the episodes of the arc. Stardust Crusaders, Polnareff Again, definitely not. Dio's entire plan in part 3 was to eliminate the entire Joestar bloodline, and the story was about the Joestars (Jotaro w/ old Joseph) trying to stop him. Polnareff had his own story, but it wasn't the main story. Diamond is Unbreakable, Koichi That's another maybe. Like with part 1 and Jonathan/Dio, I would put Josuke/Koichi on near equal footing. But I would still give Josuke the edge. I already said that I agreed with you for part 5, and I'm not a manga reader so I know very little beyond that part. If the manga has something important that would shift the balance for parts 1-4 that I don't know about, then that's out of my scope. Cookie Bag posted... I'm not seeing it, probably need to reread what a protagonist is? To be fair, he said "main character" and not "protagonist", which may not necessarily be the same thing.

| Calwings 02/09/20 2:46:35 AM #29 | Byleth isn't the problem. Having Marth, Roy, Lucina, and Chrom all in the same game is the problem, and you can blame "EVERYONE IS HERE!" for that. If it weren't for that mandate, then I'd be willing to bet that at least 2 of Roy/Lucina/Chrom, or possibly all 3, would have missed the cut. If they included 1 of those, they would have probably removed Corrin instead after the backlash they got from their inclusion in the previous game. If Byleth were only the 5th FE rep in Ultimate instead of the 8th rep, there would be a lot less hostility toward the inclusion. Plus, this would mean that at least 4 of the 5 reps (all 5 if they kept Corrin instead of a Marth echo) would have fully unique movesets, so the "too many sword fighters that fight exactly the same" argument goes out the window too. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/R0spTzg https://imgur.com/rZPRuCC |

I'm currently 6 episodes into both C&T and LWA, and I'll probably start Levius after I finish one of those.

I like the unique rule changes (especially the idea of 1-2-3 point conversions) and the extra communication we get to hear from players and coaches makes the game more fun to listen to. I agree there are some kinks to work out, like with the audio consistency as the previous poster mentioned, but so far I like what I've seen. CRON posted... What are your thoughts on AEW? I'm a relatively new wrestling fan and I can't get into NXT. I'm really enjoying it. I like it a bit more than I like NXT but a lot more than RAW/SD.

Not one officially revealed yet, but the team has been teasing a BattleBots appearance, as well as something called "Project Artemis", online for a few months now. Chances are it's a new bot, but whether it's a new design or a similar flipper to Apollo is yet to be seen. https://www.reddit.com/r/battlebots/comments/dvw9at/team_apollo_teasing_project_artemis/ DuneMan posted... IIRC the original Apollo on Robot Wars looked like it had a wooden launch ramp. In the current format for Battlebots that will get ripped apart faster than Hydra's supposed ablative armor. Don't underestimate the power and durability of Brit-style wedge flippers. Apollo and Eruption are two of the toughest bots in the UK, they're both former UK champions, and they've taken some serious hits along the way. They're among the very few bots that have faced off with Carbide (the most powerful spinner in the UK, from the same team that brought Cobalt to BattleBots) without leaving the arena in pieces. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozv2Oy8uUP4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz4VyrOaQNc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpwpVW1Y1c8 As for flipping power... Apollo managed to flip some of the House Robots, which are over double the weight of the normal competitors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrWyUmGYU2k And keep in mind that BattleBots' weight limit is 30 pounds higher than that of Robot Wars, so the team has 30 more pounds to use for either more flipping power (AKA the Hydra route) or tougher armor (the more likely option for Apollo) to adjust to their new environment. So even if the end result of "Project Artemis" turns out to be a flipper similar to Apollo, that already has the potential to be a championship contender in BattleBots. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/R0spTzg https://imgur.com/rZPRuCC |

I'm really hoping for team Apollo to finally come across the pond and complete in BattleBots. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/R0spTzg https://imgur.com/rZPRuCC |

We're getting another 20 episodes of metal-munching mayhem, and I can't wait! --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/R0spTzg https://imgur.com/rZPRuCC |
