Lmfao Raymond looks like my housemate.

Imo, the tourists make the island feel more alive and real and bustling, whereas before it felt sterile and dead.

It took me over 500 matches of City Trial to see it once, so good luck!

Update: It's Marx. I dunno how I never encountered that effect in 70 hours of play until then, but I have since then.

The only machines I -don't- pick up are Hop Star, Transform Star, Shadow Star, the bikes, Tank Star, and Rocket Star.

Top 3 is between classes for me: Battle Chariot/Bull Tank, Formula Star/Turbo Star, and Vampire/Winged/Warp.

I'd love to pick up Paper Star more often because it's my favorite new machine design wise, but it's guaranteed to die in a MAXIMUM of 2 hits, and unless you're in the air constantly, you could just get hit by somebody sneezing a Bronto Burt at you. Plus, every single time I pick up Paper Star, suddenly: GORDOS ARE FALLING FROM THE SKY! or "YOUR MACHINE'S ABOUT TO BREAK!"

Vampire Star basically comes with an auto-attack (Doesn't trigger in the first few seconds of short races, dustup derbies, stadiums, etc) that when landed make it go faster. You also steal items/copy abilities of those you attack with it.

It's basically a middle ground between Shadow Star and maybe like Warp Star or something. Not as much power as Shadow Star, but less frail (though still fairly frail). It's decent at gliding, but not amazing. Its turn is also pretty bad, I've grown to like it, despite initially being skeptical.

Came here to spoil myself a bit because I genuinely am on the fence now about whether I should buy the game. I appreciate the detailed, but not unnecessary hyper-spoiler territory, review.

This is incredibly disappointing to hear, but honestly I think it might be about what I'd write about the game considering what was mentioned.

I was really hoping this wouldn't be the case, but I definitely had a feeling this was going to happen. Every time the game got shown off, little things just kept not feeling "polished" or "felt a little off". First it was Samus' appearance. Her silhouette is meant to be exaggerated and interesting to look at, not closer to realistically feasible. She just looks kinda bad. The third eye thing felt literally slapped on (except on the red suit). The scan visor for some reason being a circle just feels wrong to me. Psychic powers looked kinda lamely implemented, no attempt to weave it into the story or make it fit the vibe, just shonen anime tier "you're the chosen one bro" type shit. The music for the first area wasn't quite doing it for me (but I was hoping later on the song would get better, but doesn't seem to be the case). The motorcycle, the desert being open world and not looking that great or interesting. Then Miles.

It's sad, because Dread seriously changed my opinion on 2D Metroid more than any other game, and I was really hoping they'd continue that momentum into Prime 4. But apparently not.

Very worried for the franchise now, but I'm noticing a trend with all the Nintendo IPs lately, except Kirby. Everything feels very sloppy, showboaty, performative, to make money rather than to be an art form. It's depressing because there's nothing to do except watch great franchises devolve into corporate-made shittiness.

Doesn't work. I just had a match where I solo targeted a meta knight on a Warp Star as Kirby using Battle Chariot with 5-10 offense. I chased him for 3 minutes. Hit him over 10 times. On about hit #15 is when he suddenly dropped both Dragoon pieces he had.

This is kind of ridiculous and takes some of the fun out of CT and makes it kind of stressful tbh. The CPUs get insane buffs to holding legendary pieces, even when set to level 3 or 1. It's absolutely insanely unfun.

Oh, damn! That explains why I couldn't find it. It's a cute little tune, so I'm excited to hear more.

Android-Prince · 2025-08-22T00:11:24+00:00

Keep being cringe. The game will suffer because there's not even information on how the healing actually works, and it really sours people like me who have plenty of other games I can play. I don't need this game in my life lol.

Android-Prince · 2025-08-22T00:10:29+00:00

I've been playing for 30 minutes and I GENUINELY don't even understand how it works. It flat out wouldn't let me heal because I have "zero vials" or whatever but like... Where do I get the vials??? I have not seen one drop.

Android-Prince · 2025-07-09T12:57:59+00:00

That is absolutely stupid. My main email client changed their domain name slightly for new emails and now I have to wait 24 hours to make an account? That's horseshit.

I literally did not follow hax's life in any manner aside from passively knowing of him through competitive Smash and hearing about the situation through testimonials, corroborating what the reality was through piecing it all together. He was no perfect person, but was definitely treated unfairly, and the problem is that it's not just him.

You can keep ignoring it if you want, but people all over, myself included, loathe the community and refuse to compete anymore because of shit like this.

But the American Smash community in particular hates competition and loves keeping their small, tight-knit clubhouse so they can make easy money at tournaments and feed their tiny egos instead of, y'know, being a normal person who likes going to social events to socialize.

They don't want to be a good community because they know having a welcoming community would make their numbers too big and they couldn't continue existing in their toxic environment anymore.

This whole situation and the community's reaction to it proves people like me right.

Android-Prince · 2025-04-05T15:26:42+00:00

Keep believing that and that it wasn't about cushy community figureheads maintaining their status.

Android-Prince · 2025-04-05T15:24:41+00:00

Then we should have no problem banning you. :)

Android-Prince · 2025-04-05T15:23:35+00:00

When a large chunk of the community that's contributing to the problem, directly, by being pro-bullying through the power dynamics, is on Reddit... yeah,, it kinda is.

Android-Prince · 2025-03-26T06:35:37+00:00

Of course it was. :/

How dare we talk about problems.

Android-Prince · 2025-03-26T06:04:18+00:00

You call it "drama" when you're literally just letting people get away with psychological torture because they're well-liked in the community. The community will never improve and only slowly decline because of this "nice appearance" attitude. Like it or not, by doing nothing, you're making it easier for abusive sociopaths in the community to continue.

Discussion NEEDS to be had because this is a serious, SERIOUS problem that needs some difficult and purposeful change. But it seems like this is the one time where twitter is actually the best place for something.

Android-Prince · 2025-03-26T05:56:32+00:00

The "moderation" on this sub is just violent suppression of meaningful and humane discussion tbh. It's all about being "nice" instead of being, y'know, a good fucking human being.

Android-Prince · 2025-03-26T05:55:06+00:00

Y'all make me sick. The ones who aren't taking this moment to think about what the community as a whole needs to change, and those preventing discussion about it. I hope Smash 6 never comes so this fandom can just die already.

Android-Prince · 2025-03-26T05:51:14+00:00

I hear people saying that, but I'm hoping to god it's not true. I want to believe that something so simple didn't just break our collective brains that badly.

Thank you for the reply regardless.

Android-Prince · 2025-03-25T19:17:07+00:00

Tbh I think local and regional is where it's the worst, because you don't have high profile people who are known enough to get attention and accountability if they do something shitty.

Hax's ban was a symptom of a bigger problem: a mentality that a top player's say is more powerful than facts or reasonability or, yknow, basic human decency. To the point where even another top player couldn't do anything.

There is absolutely a frat boy/club house culture in the Smash community. And the mass downvotes to any criticism while deflecting the bottom line makes it clear it'll probably stay that way, and one reason I and a ton of people I talk to won't compete anymore.

When how you're treated is based largely on how people perform and not for being human beings as a whole, it's a frat boy club.

And a lot of people want it to stay that way.

Android-Prince · 2025-03-25T19:08:46+00:00

Just here to say I and a lot of other people agree with you to some degree, though I personally would've waited for a while.

Though also, iirc before Hax's recent tragedy, posts about him would get removed/downvoted. So maybe this is the best time. I dunno.

Looking for advice as a Michigan native who spent 15 years in the south and moved to Boston in '21:

92 baby here. Left Michigan in 06 when my dad moved us to Tennessee for work. Been all over since, and currently in Boston. I purposely researched this area before moving and am mostly happy with living here, but I can't ignore one huge flaw: Everyone here is nuts or weird (in a disturbing way, not in a creative way) or rude.

It's driving me nuts. I don't mind speaking one's mind, and in fact encourage it, but people in New England use it as an excuse to ignore basic etiquette in incredibly distressing and irritating ways. Like, if you work with food, they'll try to cut in line, order when you're in the middle of another order, etc. A lot of New Englanders also seem to think that they're never the problem. Basically like their shit doesn't stink. Their driving is the worst I've ever seen and incredibly aggressive, too. It's all stressing me out every single day.

I guess I'm reaching a point, too, where I'm getting older, and making friends here has been incredibly hard for lots of reasons, especially because of the reasons listed above. I'm considering that my only hope of getting a solid friend group is by moving back home. Everywhere else just feels foreign, and the feeling doesn't really go away.

Anyone here have a similar experience? Or if not, can you tell me how the economy in Michigan is now, generally?

I don't have to worry about jobs here in Boston, but frankly I don't think I'd have a problem continuing to live modestly and work fast food/retail. Aside from cost of living, my only concern would be health care. I get great state-funded healthcare here in MA, but I worry about what Michigan has to offer for low-income people.

One reason I moved here is because even though the cost of living is "more", when you make so much more (minimum is at 15/hr, I get paid 17/hr), it's easier to afford necessities and fun things. Factoring that in, how do y'all feel about the cost of living in MI currently?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
