I think people are still in the honeymoon phase with Ultimate. Remember how well Brawl did after it had come out? I think Ultimate would beat Melee now, but not in a couple years.

KH1 was a charming game with awkward gameplay. As the story got more convoluted and less charming, the gameplay became less tolerable. And with the ability to use the actual character models and locations from the films in KH3, the whole concept has lost even more of its charm.

I hate all British dubs.

Likely due to mental backlash from how much I absolutely loathe the disgusting War of the Lions localization.

Nice save.

It's not the only reason, but people are long since over that garbage. There is a reason no one went to see Charlie's Angels, Ghostbusters 2016, or Birds of Prey.

Well because they were shit movies that hamfisted "girl power." Your problem, as I understood it, was that it wasn't realistic for female robots to be able to fight grown men. I mean, come on. I don't disagree that this season was not good (though I liked it more than season 2), but that wasn't one of the reasons why. If anything, seeing Evan Rachel Wood and Tessa Thompson play essentially badass terminators was one of the highlights.

UltimaterializerX posted... Half the problem was the set burning down because of wildfires last year, which I'm convinced led to a lot of changes in the script. You can thank California government for that one. They banned controlled burns and cleaning up the brush, so the second a fire happens in one of their forests it goes out of control.

Not necessarily disagreeing, but PG&E, whose power lines started most of the fires in the past three years, is perhaps the most criminally irresponsible utility in the history of the U.S., and they're currently getting reamed in multiple courts because of it.

The explanation is very simple, my friend.

https://www.themarysue.com/lisa-joy-jonathan-nolan-westworld-me-too/

Watching women who weigh maybe 120 pounds beating up armed special forces in hand to hand combat is just laughable trash. A sneak attack, sure. An unarmed Tessa Thompson basically killing a fully decked out Bob Sapp lookalike in an elevator is unbelievably stupid, and "a robot is superhuman" just doesn't fly as an explanation.

Thankfully, audiences aren't buying it. Scores from this season compared to season 1 aren't close.

Oh yes, it's all because female androids are beating people up in a sci-fi show. That's exactly why this season isn't as good.

This is yet another case of you people living in a strange echo chamber. Melee is "massive" amongst a small group of competitive Smash players that represent maybe 2% of the entire Smash playerbase. The other 98% moved on when Brawl came out.

This is simply not true.

Has there been any talk about how the second chance contest will affect the voting trends?

Will this eliminate the start-of-match board vote, for example?

5. Kind of boring for me so far. I always enjoy getting insight into the community, but the fact is, I haven't played the vast majority of these games. As the decade wore on, I played less and less video games as I got older simply because of time and money constraints. So the matches mean less to me I guess. Plus, there really haven't been that many barn burners or upsets.

This year's 2nd chance contest is a very clever, fresh way to do it, so we'll see how that goes.

I meant the actual opening. I thought it was the same international opening for every country.

Ah OK. Yeah, I think that opening was when they first aired Dragon Ball on Fox on Saturday mornings, before DBZ started airing on UPN/WB and even longer before it hit Toonami. They only aired 13 episodes before they canned it.

CaptainOfCrush posted...

A valiant effort by Goku and the boys. DBZ's competitive scene was over in a flash, and a fighter really isn't the type of game to gain traction on GameFAQs. I actually think well of Rocket League (it's got a nightmare opponent next round, but I think it would have looked respectable against something like MGS5), so DBZ's high percentage here is a testament to the franchise. Between this and Spidey - these outsiders aren't lookin too bad.

I'd say the competitive scene is still going strong. It's been the main event at Evo these past two years (perhaps partially because no one likes SFV). It's essentially MAHVEL BABY without the Marvel.

LusterSoldier posted...

This match is proving that the genre of the game matters more than the franchise name. Fighting games are weak here, with the exception of Smash and the 2 all-time classic games Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat II.

What?

Well for one, I don't know how you extrapolate ANYTHING from what appears to be a handful of votes from a country of over 200 million people.

And second, I don't know how you could possibly compare peoples' attitudes toward a particular anime based on their native languages' dubs. You either like DBZ or you don't.
