Lurker > Emeraldegg

I'm sure he knew he was on the hot seat for several events now, this wouldn't have come as a surprise.

Tbolts were one of the fastest all day imo, just kept getting blocked. Hell of a finish in heat 2 though.

At least we beat the orangers!

RIP Rojo Rollers coach I think

X-men vs Emerald Snax
A crucial match between division rivals both in the hunt for a playoff spot, this turned into quite the thriller, as a match between pitching experts and defensive specialists played out how one would expect: Scoreless through TEN INNINGS. Both pitchers were great, going 7+ innings and scattering hits and inducing ground outs. Both teams attempted 3 steals and got 0. The decider though, was a big triple in the 11th inning by Snax player Black Lollive with a man on 1st that got him home, with the X-men unable to equalize in the bottom. Really intense game.

X-men - 0
Emerald Snax - 1

UGH I'm happy the tbolts finally got a medal but man they got robbed so hard at the end there, stupid ball bearing. But WOOOO finally a medal! Well within striking distance of that top spot now!

I lol'd at the top 2 being the first 2 out.

So if youve been looking closely at the trailers and also recall the Chozo Memories of Samus Returns, it seems pretty likely that the Chozo we keep seeing is actually an X that has taken his form

Platypi vs Hedgehogs

One of the best offenses in the league didn't have it tonight, as they started off with 4 singles and a run in the first inning and never crossed the plate again. The Hedgehogs weren't much better but they were enough better, with a solo homer in the 4th and an RBI in the 5th. The pitching managed to do the rest despite not striking out a single platypus.

Platypi - 1
Hedgehogs - 2

Moose vs Moonstars

Much like the X-men, the Moonstars are on the outside looking in going into this game. SP Slip Sauder responded with his best game of the season, 9 hits but only 2 runs over 8 solid innings. He did give up solo homers in the 2nd and 3rd but settled in after that. Meanwhile, the Moonstars hit back after each of those homers, but they got a 2 run homer in the 3rd instead of a solo shot, which ended up being the difference. The moonstars did have several close calls fielding-wise, including 3 instances of the ball bouncing off the pitcher and into the outfield, but the Moose were never able to capitalize.

Moose - 2
Moonstars - 3

X-men vs Star wars

With their backs against the wall 1 game down of the playoffs with 3 to go, the x-men are in do or die mode, and boy they responded against the league's top team today. They went down early with a solo homer for SW in the 1st, but came back with a 2 run homer in the 2nd, and another run in the 4th before the game got tied up at 3 in the 5th. From then on, it was all x-men, dropping 8 runs over the final 3 frames including 5 in the 9th.

X-men - 12
Star Wars - 4

I finally caught up and I am low key more hype on what the Thunderbolts are doing right now than anyone else. They have a small chance to be able to auto qualify for next year without medaling which is crazy.

Right? They've been stuck in 7th with people below and above them switching around for a few events now, and them being a medal's worth of points back with 0 medals is amazing, esp considering where the *other* team with 0 medals currently is.

Top 2 in each division make the playoffs as a reminder, so things are quite tight! I was originally going to just have play in games to determine tiebreakers but with the very real scenario that we could have freakin 5 teams tied in one of the divisions, I have decided to make the tiebreaker Run Differential. That way highly offensive or defensive teams aren't heavily favored over each other.

Beewolves vs Hedgehogs
The Beewolves got off to a hot start with 4 runs in the 1st and never relinquished the lead. The Hedgehogs got 3 of their own to get close in the 3rd but weren't quite able to keep the momentum. They only scored 1 more the rest of the game while the Beewolves got 4 more.

Beewolves - 8
Hedgehogs - 4

I think it's good for lending itself to the illusion of them being real. Like you'd see something like this in a real sport, part of the charm to me is how they treat these marbles like real athletes. It might not be the most "fair" thing, but I think it's on brand.

Blowfish vs Moonstars

The Moonstars jumped to an early 2-0 lead in the 1st inning, but the blowfish responded with 3 of its own in the 5th and 6th. Just when it seemed all hope was lost, the Moonstars clobbered a rainbow of a dinger in the bottom of the 8th to take the lead and the win.

Blowfish - 3
Moonstars - 4

This is far from objective, though.

For instance, I have a great experience playing Mario Golf, but that's because I enjoy the online multiplayer much more than I would the minigames like Ring Golf that people want. In the case of both Tennis and Golf, they made it clear ahead of launch that more content would be coming, and you know exactly what you are buying, so there's no misleading going on.

Sure, but I like to think there is something of an understood line here. If someone "unrealistically" expects 1000 hours of gameplay from a mario golf game, then I think it's pretty clear that person is just being absurd, even if you can't point to hard proof for something like that. As you said it's subjective. Whereas if you're expecting something much more reasonable, like I dunno...like swordz mentioned how SwSh is generally seen as an underwhelming game but most people were super hyped and expecting a lot for the first pokemon game on a mainline console, that is enough I would think to be able to say someone's not "wrong" for being upset at that. Maybe it's a bit semantic but sometimes things are bad enough that I'm comfortable claiming someone isn't wrong for reacting in a bad way.

In any case, I wasn't talking about any particular game with my initial statement, I was coming up with a hypothetical where I'd be okay with it. It sounds like tennis and golf both did those things I listed, so I have no problem with them. It does not sound like SwSh did that, so I have a problem with them. Etc.

you do know you can just wait to buy the game, right?

I do! But it's not wrong of people to buy a game, see that it's barebones, go "ugh this isn't what I paid for!", get rid of it, and then get upset when more stuff comes out later.

If a dev releases a game, they're saying it's ready to play and is a good game experience. People aren't wrong to feel misled by a game release when it being a good experience is untrue. "Just wait to buy it" isn't necessarily a wrong stance, but it's one that shouldn't be needed in the first place.

---

I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss

I would rather them just wait and put everything in a normally-short game unless the content updates are A) mapped out in advance for everyone to see, and B) come relatively soon after the game's release. If they're like "Ah man we just needed a little more time and didn't realize it so just give them what we have and we'll fix it later" then sure. I don't like intentionally slow-feeding stuff though.

Bulbasaurs vs Hedgehogs

The herbisaurs drove in a couple of small ball runs in the 2nd and never looked back, getting a homer in the 4th and a 3 run homer in the 6th. The hedgehogs meanwhile didn't get their first run until the 6th, and tacked on a garbage time homer in the 9th. Bulbasaurs keep their playoff hopes dimly lit.

Bulbasaurs - 6
Hedgehogs - 2

I've heard it discussed on some pods, but I really think the better move would've been to go after buddy hield. As Zach Lowe put it, "If lebron is the best 3 point shooter on the team, then you've failed to build around lebron properly."

Instead they went out and got another ball dominant guard who can't shoot. They already struggled to score last year, their spacing is going to be so bad.

I thought the thing was that you can use an effect of a heiratic monster to summon another heiratic monster but you make the new monster's atk/def 0 (though as you said there are a few normally 0/0 monsters, like seal of the heratic sun dragon overlord). Which ofc isn't a big deal since you just use them to go into extra deck plays

That is an accurate summation! A great thing about the game is there's multiple archetypes even within each creature type. There's basically something for everyone.
