I have to endure the hell they call Sunset Colloseum more. Oi.I'm more concerned with what a painstaking task it is to get the Rayquaza battle pass. Those who already have it (and have not since deleted some passes) CANNOT exchange Friend Passes, which probably attributes to the general stinginess you find online.
They're a pain, what with being magically unlearn-able unless you bring it to some mind-warping man in some city.From a gameplay standpoint, it's necessary to prevent you from trapping yourself. Suppose you lack Fly, you fight somebody on an island, and forget Surf? Or you forget Strength in the middle of a cave?
I'm playing this game right now. It's worthy of the perfect scores it's getting.Thank God for those orchestras and particle effects, eh?
I mean, I would think that anybody here who reads and/or interjects with any number of Zan's "exposition/scholarly" topics on this very forum would get that sort of thing by now.Discussions between Zan/me/Marshmallow Man are about storyline theory and implications, translated sources, and localization errors. This is about one's personal opinion as to gameplay quality. There's a world of difference. And yes, I rant about gameplay quality as much as anyone (watch me rip apart X5). One can easily say "I don't know why you bash such-and-such" having fully read your posts and simply not agreeing with your logic as to what does and doesn't constitute an enjoyable game. That's the way personal opinion works. As such, there's no real point in asking them to read a 10-40 page rant. Especially not on Sonic, which God knows has been torn apart from every possible angle over the years.
Eggman's levels were fine. He handled well enough. It's when you got to Tails and realised how [tornado fang]ing terribly he managed to handle that it was like "Why god why?!"I kinda agree with this except I don't see a difference in how they handle. To me it's just bad character management: Tails may be a handy man but he is not a mirror to Eggman. He doesn't sit on his butt and let machines do the work for him when it comes to adventuring. Gameplay-wise, I don't have a problem with Tails in SA2, I just feel that from a story/concept standpoint shoving him in a walker was a lousy choice.
That's no excuse, in my opinion. If you're going to subscribe to the "tl;dr" mindset, then you really have no place to say such things like "I dunno why you're ragging on this game so bad..." and etc. It should be a basic "net-iquette" thing.That's an exceedingly high demand to make of a response to a 40 page thread.
Yeah, Defog was completely unnecessary, good thing because I never taught it to anything >_> And I disagree about the other statement, Fly is good for ingame, and Waterfall/Strenght/Rock Climb is quite decent if your pokemon is a physical attacker, Whirlpool on the other hand...did they really need to bring it back?Waterfall is only useful NOW because of the 4th Gen special split. In that way, you're correct, but in the last two generations, it was worthless.
Yes but I'm talking only about HMs ingame, I'm not talking about the metagame since I know there are better options. I'm just saying that for moves that you're forced to use they're not too bad.If it's inferior, it's inferior. By all means, Strength is passable, yes. But whether you're against a human or a CPU doesn't change the fact that it's an inferior attack strength to your other options.
I hate the fact, that there's so many bullshit levels with Tails/Eggman and Knuckles/Rouge one after another, and so little Sonic/Shadow ones.I love SA2, but there is no denying that for the speed freaks it is a quality over quantity thing. ESPECIALLY the Dark story, although why one would expect Shadow to get more focus than Eggman is beyond me. But in terms of play time he did get shafted.
X1- The Twin Dragon Purple Shot of Death, that you get from the arm upgrade.CAST OFF THE MHX PROPAGANDA!!!
Fighting GutsMan with the Buster only takes too long though. BombMan doesn't even want to deal with you, so you get his weapon almost right away. But it doesn't matter just so long as you get the Magnet Beam before IceMan's stage.IMHO fighting GutsMan buster-only is a lot more convenient. Hyper Bomb's delay just makes it feel cumbersome, although it's certainly not as bad as Crash Bomb, given how little Guts Man actually moves.
I'd say an outie belly-button. Maybe I'm over-thinking my robo-anatomy, but when you look at the waist as your reference point, you can't really have a [ray splasher] on tank treads unless it's scraping against the floor.
Judging by the placement of that gun, what does it look like to you? Seriously.
Hypershell wants a share of the credit too.With the stipulation that I, too, am not to be freely editable by everyone.
I also want to add in that the Nightmare Zero jig was just a failed attemped to get Zero's DNA since the DNA that Gate got was only so much that he could do with it.Not at all, Gate in fact insisted that he did not need Zero's body. Not to mention High Max at first surpassed even X. The Nightmare is Gate's attempt at manipulating Reploids worldwide, Nightmare Zero is simply part of it.
I still haven't fought Burnerman as Mega because the instant-death napalm section is almost impossible to complete as him.You know, I never had a problem there. Certainly no more so than I did as Bass against that worm miniboss. Guess that makes me feel big. *shrugs*
...I consider Mega Man & Bass to be "bad" because the gameplay just reminds me of how flawed Mega Man X6 was.*UPPERCUT!!*
It's more of an indirect hit weapon. But, even including that knowledge,the weakness chain is all over the place; it's more effective on QuickMan than FlashMan.I didn't say "not strong", I said, "not practical". The delay between impact and explosion for indirect attacks is too long to aim it reliably, not to mention the obvious slow-down with time elapsed to damage done; for any such boss you're better off picking a different weapon.
I honestly think that X5 should never have shown the second set of stages until after the Enigma firing. There's little to no plot excuse to enter these stages beforehand, other than to label the Hunters as pricks that kill innocents over items they don't need yet.Perhaps story-wise that is true, but X5 has enough issues with item and armor availability without restricting stage entry. Plus it's frustrating for those players whose special weapon focus is more on general usefulness than on boss weaknesses, if they have their eye on one of the later four (though I doubt that's terribly likely in X5).
When it's something like say Mario Kart Wii though, where the items are a bit on the broken side, I admittedly get frustrated when I can go from 1-3 to 8-12 in no time flat, and all I get is like... a single mushroom to catch upMario Kart Wii is MAJOR overkill, for a couple of reasons. It's not just there being more broken items, it's also that 12 karts means more of them on the field, that the 150cc AI is positively brutal, that even perfect scoring your way through that may not get you the letter grade you need to unlock [parasitic bomb] (at this point I deem hacking infinite Star Mans to be acceptable), and that when somebody rams a stopped kart they simply push it aside without consequence, meaning whenever you get hit there's a good chance that a passing kart will ram you off the track.
Huh? Didn't use a TTar...I meant our first battle.
I thought the Heracross/Latios combo would take out Lapras or Palkia.They probably would have. I sincerely doubt Ice Shard would 1HKO on only a 2x weakness. But Latios' Dragon Pulse will, and he and his sister are the fastest of Dragons. No Dragon trainer worth their foot will engage Latios without something to boost Speed in their favor. Had I thrown Palkia/Lapras against them, I'd have probably switched to Steelix/Rotom anyway.
They still came up with their team, and they still won because they know how to use them. What's the difference? Is hatching like fifty eggs to get one with good IVs that important to you that you're against people skipping it?I personally don't mind Pokesav as long as it's used responsibly. No hacking max IVs, Hidden Powers, or whatever. But in terms of EV training (which is nothing but grinding against the appropriate opponent w/ appropriate item; I did it the long way in Diamond's earlier days) and attacks (TM limits mainly; breeding Egg Moves is simple enough), it's very handy. The tremendous amount of time it takes to ordinarily prepare, and the gamble it is to use a non-buyable TM if you change your mind, make experimenting in-game extremely difficult.
