Lurker > Lopen

Big Boss can't save us

The one thing that could've made this contest be cool at all outside of Link losing would be Ryu/Ken getting to the final four

But no we can't have nice things.

This is our moment of glory, when we prove crew > board! Oh yes. Rally behind the Street Fighters, gang. Even if... one of our members is just taking it to take it. Not that I can blame him.

Yeah I was saying before the contest that Sol vs Ky might be the weakest rivalry in the bracket and I was very pleased with myself in getting them a 6 with my rallying, cause there's no chance they would've got through a vote-in. Ratchet's a level above them, certainly. Ratchet's probably a level above Kerrigan honestly, but that's debatable.

Good luck. Maybe I'll start ROOF then too. See if I can get off the roof before you finish the game. A noble goal.

Also for superstar of the year I'd probably go with Punk. Hard to argue otherwise-- he drove the most interesting thing of the year by far, and has been generally entertaining.

If we're going on uh "kayfabe" strength I'd go with Henry. Dude's just been dominant.

I like how Otunga's signature move is the coffee drink. I think he's legitimately allergic to charisma.

Yeah uh the smart sions activate shield just before stun, stun you for 9 seconds, then run up and smack you with an exploding shield and you're at like 100 hp if you're lucky. A good sion doesn't just activate his shield to dare you to come attack that's like the dumbest move.

And yeah I guess that could work. The better way to do it is to have Ryder lose though. Ryder losing is more interesting from the US title scene perspective too. Ryder winning with his first try would be too easy imhhho.

It's just... you need a certain intensity to do that. Orton's good at intensity. Cody's okay at it. I just have my doubts as to how intense he can be. Guess it's possible, though.

I'm skeptical Miz can do face. He's just got that face you want to hit, and his first claim to fame is a reality show. I'd buy an ADR Face turn before Miz.

Ryder works a lot better in a slow burn if he loses though (which is more what I was saying it'd be good for anyway). Mostly because Ryder does kinda look like an ass if he doesn't thank Cena if he's put in an obvious situation to thank him and doesn't. And if he's not put into an obvious situation it's not obvious enough that Cena cares he wasn't thanked.

--

This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

Or hell he doesn't even need to beat Ryder down.

They just need to have him like, react. Express disappointment. Show shades of being mad at Ryder, but then getting over it. I agree attacking him is like a midcard way to turn Cena but yeah it should definitely go down that way to help contribute-- it'd be really good.

nah, ryder's the wrong way to go on this. wrong fork would be going that route.

Well I don't think Cena should like, snap on Ryder immediately. That'd be a stupid way to turn him. He should turn heel way down the road then beat Ryder down then and cite this as one of the reasons. It'd be excellent Jakylesque continuity booking there.

Granted I guess he could do it either way but if Ryder wastes the opportunity it'd be that much better.

Wow Leon

You came that close to being price is right'd. I almost made a 60/40 joke and put 60.41 as my prediction.

Granted 60.39 would've been smarter for this match probably.

Cena is so going to heel turn by beating the **** out of Ryder, and it will be amazing

For real. They're setting this up absolutely perfectly if Zack Ryder loses to Dolph.

I'm not sure that'll happen though. WWE likes to stumble into interesting storylines then take the wrong fork in the road.

There were reasons for the 70% I just didn't feel anyone was interested. DAT RIVALRY FACTOR (or OLD/REPETITION FACTOR) being foremost.

Time for the crew to lose its first.

Primary argument against Dante is of course one based on superstition. There's probably an age joke and/or religion joke here to be made here but I don't feel up to it.

This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

Oh and case anyone's curious-- my strategy has been:

Miss more than one part of Kunyomi/Onyomi/How It Looks = Again
Miss one of the three parts (This is Kunyomi 95% of the time) = Hard
Get all of that = Good
Know everything on the card (all the compound words included) = Easy

I'm not sure if that's the right way to be doing it. If someone has a suggestion for a better method I'm all ears. Should I just be "again"ing things repeatedly until I get all the three main parts?

My accuracy went down because I decided to "again" every card that I didn't get any part of (the kunyomi in pretty much every case) instead of just "hard"ing them. Trying to clean out the ones that I'm perpetually failing to get the kunyomi on. Gonna do this for a couple of weeks I think so I can get them all (some of the repetitive "hard"s got up to like 2 weeks)

If Zalbag spammed speed ruin or power ruin against Dycedarg he'd win every time. That's all I'm sayin.

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

Zalbag's abilities are actually good but he doesn't use them well or at all. The ruin abilities are cool though. They're knight stat breaks with 100% accuracy at range.

By the way have you tried stalling the Dycedarg fight till everyone is healed to full by beating on each other? I'd imagine Dycedarg and Zalbag can fight each other for some time if you elemental the knights down.

I'm not sure if they'll trigger counter abilities because you're healing them. I wanna think they don't but I'm not sure.

--

Also have you considered using Ice Shields + Ice Swords.

Might help you out in this fight-- have one of your guys downstairs take a hit from Dycedarg's Elder Brother and smack him around to heal him.

I dunno if this is actually viable I've never done a Geomancer SCC here but it seems like your problem isn't winning as much as one of your guys getting killed before you get in range.

Psh who cares if they're actually demons they're still hot. It's what's on the outside that counts.

Actually not really FFT's art style doesn't really do hot very well. The faces are too plain.

But like with a remake or something they totally could be. Point stands. Mileena's totally different though bad teeth are always a turn off.

Excellent input I know.
