| Lopen 09/14/18 2:21:58 PM #23 | Alright my dude I tell you what, I'm going to pitch the only one I have much enthusiasm for on my list. But I'm going to do it in a pretty brief concise way that sums up why I like the character so much rather than going full salesman with a backstory dump. I'll hold myself to the standard I held you. Given your nomination, that will probably be okay as you're probably familiar with him anyway. That man is Richter Belmont (Castlevania: Rondo of Blood) http://mercs2015.pbworks.com/f/1461687422/richter.png Richter's always been my favorite Castlevania character. And realistically, while I could write paragraphs about him if I needed to bloat the word count, it boils down to two things. First, his gameplay in post Rondo of Blood/Dracula X games is just... really fun. Like this dude is so mobile between his uppercut, dash attack, and slide jump. I played the hell out of Symphony of the Night, and unlike a lot of people who have played it, most of my gameplay came through Richter mode. I've done no item crash speed runs, no item crash completion runs, no holds barred speed runs, no life pickup runs. You name it. He may not have the fun leveling and item management that Alucard has, but he just controls really well. One of the best controlling characters in gaming. Just awesome to fight stuff with. Richter mode in Portrait of Ruin is about as good. He's a bit less quick there but he's still a blast, and again, the source of most of my playtime in the game. And let's not forget Harmony of Despair. Pretty sure you could throw a Richter mode in any Castlevania and it'd be my favorite way to play it. I'd kill for a Metroidvania type game where Richter is actually the main character and uses the equipment system instead of just ignoring it and being a badass. Secondly, his dialogue and voice acting in Symphony of the Night. I love the ultra camp melodrama the guy has oozing out of everything he says in that game. You've heard the "DIE MONSTER, YOU DON'T BELONG IN THIS WORLD" exchange between him and Dracula in the intro to the game many a time, I'm sure, but his dialogue throughout the entire game is amazing, and his role in the game was unique too even if, SotN spoilers, Course now I feel like you'd probably already nominated him even without my trading for it, since he's had a bit of a rally here. I suppose I have one other entry on my list I could pitch if you want to hear me ramble about another character you're less likely to know. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 09/14/18 2:00:04 PM #33 | Well most modern fighters the number of attack buttons has remained largely the same. SNES has 6 buttons. Most fighting games don't really use more than 6. I mean don't get me wrong they are a little more complex I just think a more of that feeling boils down to perception. Watching something like Marvel 3 is super intimidating because you've got 100 hit combos and crap. But if you play it yourself you know there's a lot of fluff there and a standard 4 button sequence followed by a jump and mashing can easily get you to like 20 hits. --- No problem!

| Lopen 09/14/18 1:38:25 AM #216 | People are associating him with it. English makes them think of Rusev Day which makes them chant Rusev Day. Positively is a leap, though. I mean if we had Virgil Wrestling SUPERSTAR accompany Rusev to the ring a bunch of times I think he would start getting them when he appeared on screen too, similarly to how Lana gets them. Like you're actually arguing two different things here. There is no doubt being associated with Rusev Day is helping Aiden English. Getting Rusev Day chants is better than the literally nothing he would have without it, and I do think many people do legit like him, don't get me wrong. The question is how much is he helping Rusev. And I would argue he's actually hurting Rusev slightly overall. I suppose if you look at things from a utilitarian perspective it's still good to include him in the act because he's being elevated so much from being there and the amount of damage he's doing to Rusev is debatable at best, but yeah. If he was a selling point he'd get more reaction in his singles matches-- hell I think the teased break-up would've got more reaction too, something more violent ala the Becky Lynch backlash, instead of everyone sorta just being just disappointed about it. --- No problem!

It does seem rather unfair to argue that Aiden English does not have a positive impact on Rusev/Rusev Day, but then say you can't count times when the crowd chants "Rusev Day" and only Aiden is on screen. That's basically trying to have it both ways. So would you say Lana is having a positive impact on Rusev Day? Because she causes just as much chanting as him when she appears on screen. And if the answer is yes how is she contributing so much without a 2 minute intro every Rusev match?! --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 09/14/18 1:15:59 AM #206 | You can tell by the feel of the segment. The big signal is how dead the crowd is before the chants kick up. You typically get a CM Punk styled burial chant when it's a segment people actively don't want to see. A Goldberg chant is more out of passion for Goldberg while a CM Punk chant is more to bury the segment. I mean JBL gets chants in that same context, are we going to argue now that JBL is mega over too? Maybe if you'd watched wrestling before 2010 you would know he is in fact not that over. It's not complicated. It's okay though just keep asking questions I'll educate you newbies as needed I don't mind. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 09/14/18 1:04:00 AM #204 | Panthera posted... Your argument seems to be that Rusev's popularity is waning and English is a big part of it because he doesn't work for a face character, pretty much A big part I'm not sure but I don't think he's helping. Like I think the time spent on his intros doing literally anything else Rusev related would be more effective. Panthera posted... If people are chanting it in a segment he isn't in it's by definition a "CM Punk" thing, the whole point is that people chant for other random stuff when they're bored. Uh, no. This reads like someone who started liking wrestling like 8 years ago on that Raw after Wrestlemania where it became a fad to chant random stuff. People can chant for stuff because they really like that stuff and want to see it. Rusev was getting those for a while. People were chanting Rusev Day in segments that weren't bad, just because they wanted to see the guy. WCW used to get "Goldberg" chants in segments he wasn't in and it wasn't because they were shitting on the segment. The Rusev Day chants at ROH shows weren't during segments that people were crapping on-- they generally don't do that over there like WWE does, honestly. --- No problem!

| Lopen 09/14/18 12:58:16 AM #214 | I've played since the days of Mirage and Fifth Edition. Not exactly a hardcore player but definitely more than casual. Like me some sealed tournaments and casual play. My deck design paradigm is basically, to the surprise of no one who has paid much attention to me, is "optimize a bad gimmick to its fullest potential." Like my favorite deck is probably my Inferno deck that kills the opponent by ramping into spammed Infernos and Fire Tempests if that gives you an idea. I also have multiple decks that use the old classic False Cure. But yeah the care put into the game's balance and design is worse now than it's been since like Mirrodin. Really shoddy stuff.

| Lopen 09/14/18 12:37:17 AM #195 | His chants during the build for the AJ Styles match were much less than the chants during the actual match is the thing. Everyone in a world title match that isn't expected to be there is going to get the audience more into it than they would normally. If Rusev got a title match when he was huge, it wouldn't be a dueling chant he would be winning the chants commandingly. Rusev hasn't really been hot since like Wrestlemania. Like yeah he still gets chants. But he used to get much stronger chants. All chants are not equal. Hulk Hogan at the height of Hulkamania is not the same as Hulk Hogan during 1993. You guys either don't listen to the audience or you're being intentionally obtuse. Not sure which. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 09/14/18 12:24:32 AM #192 | Honestly I still only think it deserved to be buried because of the card positioning. And not because Rollins or Ziggler shouldn't main event as much as the feud shouldn't and no one wants to have a match that can't possibly go less than 30 minutes in the final slot of a 4 hour PPV. Rusev/AJ should've main evented that. And I wasn't saying Rusev wasn't over on that show, just I was saying he wasn't hot at the time. Like if you'd given him the title it wouldn't have felt natural, but I think a few months before that it actually could have. That's not to say people wouldn't have been happy to see him win the title, but it wasn't the perfect time for it and I think he would've felt closer to a Rey Mysterio (that underdog that was cute to see win but never really felt like a real world champion) fluke champ than a Mick Foley (that underdog that basically had his career cemented by winning it when he did, even with a brief reign) fluke champ. --- No problem!

It's not that the story takes a nosedive or anything as much as I think it just doesn't escalate well. Like as far as quality goes it's very consistent. Too consistent. Most RPGs build up a lot better in terms of the story or the mechanics. Can't really say late game Persona 4 is significantly more interesting than early game Persona 4. Not a bad winner though. My top 5 I'm thinking placed 10, 18, 27, 45, 47.

The WWE audience cheers a lot of weird stuff that isn't nearly as over with the people as a whole because a lot of things are more interesting in person We've veered into Aiden English being over (he isn't really, btw, going off his singles appearances that don't involve sing along) but that's not what the point really was to begin with. --- No problem!
