Ya know, I've never seen Immortality as a bad thing myself.

But there are just some maniacal, dangerous people who don't need to live forever.

Case in point, Dr. Weil.

Oh, whew, good, it's back.

...yeah yeah, I know EA's the publisher, now, but there's enough of the people actually developing the game that should be able to make sure it's fun.

Day one.

Happy Birthday, PB! May your scarf flow in the wind!

Sounds like you already started, though; I don't think I've ever had Spear Ribs, before.

Geo and Omega are bored one day when their intrepid group of friends invites them to go to a tournament!

Oh no, NOT AGAIN.

Gaming / Re: Language in games, which do you prefer?

« on: December 14, 2008, 09:56:10 PM »

Actually, after thinking more, I like my VA in Spanish.

...Wait no, that's only when it comes to Spanish TV like Telemundo.  [tornado fang], those women are hot....

CALIENTEEEEEEeeee--
Wait, I'm getting off track here. They do take good care of their bodies, though (that or the tan hides most blemishes).

Anyway, when it comes to voicing and dialogue in games, I prefer a good, basic approach. Something like Starfox 64 or a select few Action RPGs. Many JRPGs (for recent examples, Infinite Undiscovery and Elder Scrolls: Oblivion) try hard to deliver fleshed-out lines of dialogue, but mouth movements and body fluidity in addition to rushed VA's and other graphical limitations, just wind up killing the mood of the entire approach.

I'd rather have fewer, more meaningful lines in games. If Final Fantasy Tactics 1 ever got voice acting, it'd be unstoppable. Games that also have a wide variety of characterizations (like Paper Mario and Kingdom Hearts) deserve voice acting. You could read the lines, but it simply doesn't do the cast justice.

A staggering 14 votes for Sonic!

Very impressive. Good for my project for brawlers to have an early lead, too.

As far as X games go, though, that's what I really want to see is a Command Mission 2.

Or maybe even an X9 that takes place after CM1 and before MMZ, linking the two.

Because making it SNES style won't change if it's a quality game or not, it would just be taking an inferior sprite style for the sake of nostalgia and ease of creation.

Future tracks from X5, X6, and even MMZ were built upon the great music tracks of MMX1 and MMX2. I'd definitely like to hear that quality of musical composition again.

And I really don't want to see another X4-X6. More bland, generic, even lazier graphics, backgrounds, and tilesets.

1. Z

2. E

3. R

4. O suit o.o

though if you are really going to make me choose then I guess

1. Zero Suit
2. Link
3. Peach
4. Ike

But I'm really not as good with those last three 

Not to worry; your personal favs are what count, here.

What I will say, though, is this:
That it's a tight race between Ike and Marth, and only one of them are going to make the initial round.

... No, we can't do that. Someone forgot to activate that.

Oh man, that must have gotten unchecked when I refreshed the page, because that's the second choice I added, just after I set the limit to 4.

I've gone back in to Edit Poll, but it won't let me change it.
Is there any way you can modify it? Or do I have to restart the poll?

i think Mario's terrible in Brawl. sure the new Mario Tornado is pretty good, and Up B can actually kill people. but there are way better people than him. he wasn't that great in Melee either, but only because Doc was so much better.

Nah, I meant as a character.

As a Brawler, yeah, he's give-and-take, sure.

And in case any of you are curious, yes, this is toward a specific purpose, and yes, there is a reason I've put a four-vote and 2 week time limit on this poll.
What that is shall remain a secret; I may not even get to do what I wanted.

And yeah, I guess we can discuss our choices.

Mario - Really, how can you hate this guy? Isn't that...like...a sin or something? No? Well...okay.
Sonic - THAT HEDGEHOG. Ahhh, what's to say? He's extremely fast, and the Genesis games were very fun. Sure, he's gotten shortchanged as of late, but I still remember (even when Sonic Team doesn't seem to).
Fox - Starfox 64 was and is one of my favorite and most memorable games, and seeing Fox fight hand to hand with everyone in the first Super Smash Bros. was an extremely awesome treat.
Metaknight - Okay, this last slot was tricky. Metaknight is self explanatory, really, but I feel obligated to tell you who he beat, and why:

Peach - Gorgeous, but susceptible to being kidnapped.
Falco - My main for the longest, but still a side character.
Wolf - Like Metaknight, an intriguing "rival" archetype. He's gotten weaker and softer as of late, though, and I miss the SF64 Wolf (VA and attitude).
Kirby - He's just there. Present. Yes, he's powerful, nigh unstoppable, saves everyone in Subspace Emissary, but I just don't like him as much as I do other characters.

In this thread, I wanna know/make you choose, who are your favorite four (4) Super Smash Bros. Brawl characters?

They can be the best, they can be the worst.
You don't have to main them, they don't even have to be "top tier".
You may like them for the games they're in, you may like them for their appearance or qualities in this game, etc.

Pick four, and you can change your vote.
But I'm limiting the time to 2 weeks.

Gaming / Re: What character do you find annoying when used by a certain someone? (Brawl)

« on: December 14, 2008, 06:11:40 AM »

Ya know, at first I could agree with the sentiment that Mario needed more KO ability, but after spending a bit of time with him, I've come to the conclusion that he'd be more raep than Luigi (which is a lot) if that was the case.

Maybe some more range, then.

All I know is, Toon Link and Marth are ridiculous compared to Mario, and that just isn't right. Mario should be busting heads.

One thing that irks me, the F.L.U.D.D. should be homing like Sonic's Homing Attack (B).

I'm just gonna post a movie quote I've never forgotten since I first saw this movie.

The quote!

I get what he's saying, but then the "license to _____" stuff can go too far. Like a license to fish; really? What?

But that goes into a discussion of human behavior and government, and I'm not going there, not here.

I dunno, Sonic seems to be the biggest trap card from nowhere when played right. And Dr. Mario, hoo boy, that'd make Brawl Super Smash Bros. Broken if they gave him anything more like they did Mario (sans weaker knockbacks.

I dunno; Mario's kinda in a middle-tier position as is, even with the cape. I was hoping they'd axe Dr. Mario but give Mario more priority and K.O. power deserving of a gaming icon.

...as usual, guess not.
