http://hybridtwo.com/?p=179Much appreciated. Even if it's mostly for the kickass renditions of Blues' theme.
Soundtrack download if anybody wants it.
No excuse, Fox! It's 4AM my time, and look at my gem of a post!I've been up forever now, cut me some slack
Nintendo doesn't have the brass balls to do that, and it would [acid burst] off fans that just want the same thing all over again, so, no.Yeah... just wanted to say that this applies to much much more than Nintendo, I can guarantee you that.
Sure is.Fixed that for you, since they have a health bar in the old games.
What I like about Metroidvanias is that you never know how much HP the boss has left. (outside of a few of the 3D games) So it makes it more tense, and your like "WHENS HE GONNA DIE ALREADY!"
Unless your fighting legion. You can tell with him. It. Them.

Fixed that for you
Spidey: ...This is like a BAD COMIC BOOK PLOT!
Even as the 90s toon went out with more of a nonsensical whimper, it was at least able to poke fun at itself, and the currently running comic.Yeah, some of those plots had potential, but they overdid it a bit.
I swear, 90s Spidey and Xmen were BOTH awesome, until they just didn't let it go with the time travel, alternate dimensions and all that kind of crap. Dunno why the show's writers thought that stuff would be the kind of things that fans would like, and such. We all loved the toons because of them doing things verbatim or close enough to what the comics did. And frankly the further they went from that, the worse it got.
It wasn't just the Clone Saga, though. Petey/Spidey, by nature, was a character that was prone to monologues throughout his career. This includes even the likes of spin-offs such as "Untold Tales of Spider-Man", which pretty much everybody agreed was good (and a nice escape from the silliness of what was going on in the mainstream Spidey comics, no less!).Oh, I'm quite aware of that... it just got especially bad there, not that I really mind. It's the way that saga was handled... now that I have a problem with

This includes even the likes of spin-offs such as "Untold Tales of Spider-Man", which pretty much everybody agreed was good (and a nice escape from the silliness of what was going on in the mainstream Spidey comics, no less!).It would have been better if the story didn't flipflop around. Since the story changed hands so many times though, it was a gigantic mess. Y'know, I think more people would have been fine with Ben being Spidey if Peter still remained the original. Instead, they decided to kill off a decent character with good potential (along with many others actually, in both a literal and figurative sense) and then bring back the idea way down the line in the stupidest manner possible.
On that note, while I usually get on the Clone Saga band-wagon for hateration, there's one bit of an ironic point that I just can't ignore.
For better or worse, the Clone Saga's ORIGINAL ending would have served for Petey (the clone) to lose his powers, retire to some place in Montana and live happily ever after with MJ and the Spidey-baby. Ben, meanwhile, would have served as a means to take Spiderman back to a character who was a bachelor, and endure everything that comes from single-life and super hero, as well as the tragedy of a guy who lost out a good few decades' worth of the life he was meant to have. Apparently, THAT wasn't good enough, as the combined bitching of the fanbase wanted and brought PETER back.
So, in the end, we lose a perfectly good guy like Ben, just for Peter to have, among other things, a "failed pregnancy", MJ and Petey to have a marriage on the rocks, Peter to get the revelation that Gwen was [tornado fang]ing NORMAN OSBORN ON THE DL (and had two freaky kids as a result), reveal his secret identity to the world and then make a [tornado fang]ing DEAL WITH THE DEVIL HIMSELF....all for Peter to go back to being a single-guy who lives with Aunt May, all over again.
Was the trip really necessary, if all that was going to happen is some thing akin to the result that yielded from the Clone Saga's original ending, any way? This is why I really loathe Marvel comics right now. It's fundamentally as bad as what they did with Cyclops back in the day. They may have retconned it several times, but that's just to try and make Scottie's act of abandoning his WIFE AND CHILD to pursue his dead girlfriend look better!
I love me some 90s Spidey, but when you take a step back, the writing was horribly uneven, much like the animation. And the inner monologues; argh, the inner monologues won't stop!Can't really blame him for the voicework though, he did a good job with what he was given. Yeah, the inner monologues were bad, but the reason there was so many was that they were following the writing style comics, which were in the *shudder* clone saga at that time. So many inner monologues during that time.
While I thought NPH was fine, it's Christopher Barnes' version of Petey that I keep hearing in my head, personally. Wouldn't mind it at all if they got him back.This... very much so this.
SPEAKING OF WHICH! They really need to get Cal Dodd to play Wolverine again. I usually love Steve Blum in almost everything EXCEPT his Wolverine. It just can't compare to Dodd's, in my ears.
FACT: This is a fighter game developed largely by Capcom.>_>
FACT: There has not been truly balanced fighting game ever made, with the no company in the lead as far as balance.
I don't expect this to change, but I never did. I don't play any game competitively, nor would I recommend playing competitively until we one day get that balanced game where one character doesn't have a unique combo or set of attacks that outweighs the use of every other character.
That is not the nature of combat. There can only be one winner, one superior.
No ban can change that.
If we ever get the balanced game, it's a long way off. In the meantime, do what you can to enjoy it the way you do.
Me, I'll pick either my favorites or best, and do my best, and have a fun time trying to win.
Is that necessarily a bad thing? To me, not so. Maybe some have forgotten, but I definitely remember the old days when the MAHVEL games were called "Versus Trash". And then by the time MvC2's elite scene developed, people seemed to have done more to forgotten that history. I certainly haven't~.Oh, I've never forgotten, which is why I'm still a bit sketchy on them using too many characters. When they do that it's easy for things to get imbalanced, and a whole lot of characters become throwaways.
Bayonetta creator dying to make StarFoxI sure as hell hope Ninty's paying attention. If they do get through with it, I also hope they stay the hell out of the process as much as possible and let Platinum do their thing, since Ninty doesn't know what people want to see in StarFox.
......please, Nintendo? PLEASE?
In referring specifically to Inti's story, it solves the following three matters:That would all be fine and dandy, if there weren't still some conflicting implications. One such example would be the Creation of the Big 4 presented here, which conflicts with their Shining Arms in particular. In the way it's presented here, it seems that the Big 4 were created after the Elf Wars, although beforehand it was implicated that they were fighting in said wars. There's still kinks Inti/Capcom needs to work out.
-Founding of Neo Arcadia
-Creation of Big4
-Yggdrasil sealing
Which were previously the three biggest unknowns with numerous of conflicting implications.
Doesn't really work that way when people's conclusion jumping leads to whole games being supposedly retconned out.Yes... conclusions from information that isn't presented in the games. All this extra information they're giving is interesting, however a lot of it is based upon material that they thought up while making the games. Now, I'm willing to bet that a lot of this information wasn't thought out completely back in the day, and they're playing "fill in the gaps" over time to make it official. The problem with that is that it doesn't take much to throw things out of balance, especially when people misconstrue things quite easily. Speaking of which, I wasn't working to discredit you on the RZOCW fiasco nonsense. I was pointing out how easy it is for things to be taken completely out of context, especially when the information is being continually developed over time. Working in this fashion it's rather easy to make inconsistencies unintentionally, and it doesn't help when the fanbase is trying to make more of it than they should. Thing is, Inti/Capcom don't really have a choice but to work in such a manner, due to the way making and selling games works.
