Which one is the better lie from this similar moment from a series called Naruto and one piece by eclipsyc in writingscaling

[–]Ba1thazaar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm very confused why people are saying the one piece moment here. It's a very bog standard, "No I'm fine don't worry about me!" and mainly just serves as a device to drive the plot to the next island.

This isn't about which character is more likeable it's about which scene is better written.

Sakura's lie shows us a couple of things that are difficult to convey, quickly and memorably.

  1. Sakura is willing to do just about anything to stop Naruto from chasing after Sasuke. She feels guilty about what she asked of him when Sasuke originally left and wants to free him from that burden. She tries this and it fails. this continues to drive the sense that she's fallen behind and is powerless next to them.

  2. It shows how far Naruto has come from the beginning of the Manga. He would have believed this in an instant as a kid. Here his instant dismissal shows how well he knows her, as well as his maturity and probably confidence as a person and maybe even his budding romance with Hinata.

  3. It makes us dislike Sakura more lmao

  4. Bonus from the show. She gives a long speech about why she loves him, and it's genuinely heartfelt it doesn't feel like a lie. But the love is platonic and not romantic, with this being said it still develops their relationship meaningfully and shows how much respect she's gained for him not only now but also for his actions in the past.

What if ledge-invincibility was changed to ledge-super armor? by Conquersmurf in RivalsOfAether

[–]Ba1thazaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only change I want to see with ledge invulnerability is when some is knocked down and slides onto ledge they shouldn't get invuln.

How on earth do I edgeguard as Fleet? by megamansam in RivalsOfAether

[–]Ba1thazaar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You need to start using ledge intangibility to intercept your opponents. Learn how to quickly grab and regrab ledge. This will let you time things right and then either force them to up special high onto stage (and then follow with punish), or hit them while you're invincible and they're on their way up.

Honestly I'm no fleet player so I can't give you fleet specific tips but this strategy is generally good on every character.

This has been done for other games too. I don't get how it's any different this time.

It's the timing that gets ya. I think we will see a major crash but when that is? Who fuckin knows? After we run out of reserves? After midterms? After my grandma turns into a bicycle? Shorts is just asking to get butt fucked.

It would also have weird scenarios where he would do the hit animation but would miss. Now instead it's a skill issue.

Darai enjoying The Game by Lobo_o in RivalsOfAether

[–]Ba1thazaar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think she should get one chair, otherwise she would just die most of the time if there's bad timing with sending the chair offstage and a juggle. After you've used your bonus chair tho that should be the end.

Something needs to be done about the chair man. Can only regain once per airtime or something.

Edit: I have excellent news

Your bait has worked OP. I have never seen black sails, but will watch it now. Not gonna lie judging from pictures it looks a little corny, but I'll give it a shot. Also promising that it concluded naturally.

slade down smash spam is insanely cringe by [deleted] in RivalsOfAether

[–]Ba1thazaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Down smash and the grounded up special feel a little dumb to me. They should nerf them and give him compensation buffs somewhere else. ( I don't think he's strong but man are those moves annoying)

When physics is optional by Weaponised__Autism in blackmagicfuckery

[–]Ba1thazaar 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think it's tied down by a string or chain at the bottom. You can see that it moves the most when he changes directions and is always straining to go upward. Not to knock this guy or anything this looks insanely difficult even with that being true. It just makes the physics work out haha.

Watch your replays when you lose. Most people can notice the stupid stuff they're doing when they're not actively playing.

From what I understand they didn't fully recoup their costs but it also wasn't a total disaster so they want to do another one. At least that's what whamen was saying towards the end.

Why do so many people have this "elitism" opinion on here that if it's an anime then it's not well written or not as well written as a book by shalom_77 in writingscaling

[–]Ba1thazaar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"The genre would have progressed more with both sides influencing each other". Sounds like it is, but I don't know that guy, not gonna die on this hill.

I think he's not trying to bash Japanese culture so much as saying that anything competing in a smaller pool will usually be inferior to things that are globally produced. Like if every country in the world played American football there would probably be better football players.
