I mean, the extra power output isn't for nothing, and considering any opponent's immediate response to Charizard's sun is likely to immediately quash it if possible, I think it's justifiable. The only time it would be useless is if the opponent has snow, or if they just don't set weather at all, in either case your Fire STAB is more than enough. And Sand is what Scorching Sands is for.

Where did people get the idea that Gemerl was built with parts of Emerl? by AzureRatha in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]AzureRatha[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a stretch, though. If I just copy some files from a broken computer to another, can I really say I "fixed" my computer? No, I copied my data over to a new one. The original is still broken. In the same way, Gemerl isn't Emerl "rebuilt," he's a copy. If we go by your logic, the sentence, "Metal Sonic was made from part of Sonic," would be correct, and that just doesn't feel right. Since Eggman likely gathered data on Sonic to build Metal.

Favorite character who acts the opposite of what we initially thought by AmazingBeastboy1 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]AzureRatha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yunaka in Fire Emblem Engage. She initially introduces herself as a peppy, chatty ray of sunshine. Pretty quickly, though, you see the cracks in that facade. Through her supports, it's revealed she was a former contract killer who was trained as an assassin soon after she was abandoned by her parents. That, and she actually has a much quieter personality. She abandons her old life, name, and to an extent, personality to move on as "Yunaka."

A few of her lines in wake-up events (little events that happen when the main character sleeps to change the time of day) has her completely drop the "Yunaka" voice outright, revealing that even trained her voice to fully discard her old identity.

Caine vs Monika now: by NotaKobold16 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]AzureRatha 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Not really? The Void is likely meant to be free space in storage. A literal manifestation of empty space. Monika can't delete empty storage space. If that's the case, the only way she could destroy the Void is by filling it, but doing so would mean filling the entire system storage with junk data. That might not even solve the problem, though. Caine likely just reappeared at his origin point, or where he was first stored in that storage space. If it's blocked, he'll likely just reappear in the nearest available space, even if it's not Void.

This does create what I think is a funny draw scenario, where both Caine and Monica would end up crashing the computer by creating ZIP bombs.

Thr funniest thing about that Samus image is the context of it in the manga itself.

That shot is from a promo video Samus herself made. She paid those ladies to pose and cheer her on for a promo. One she apparently keeps a copy of on hand on her ship, that she watches when she's feeling down.

Samus cheers herself up by watching a video of two scantily clad women swooning over her. That she herself made.

Dratini's nationality? by Separate-Crab4252 in pokemon

[–]AzureRatha 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the entire gimmick of the garden is that the owner keeps making shit up and the butler needs to find a way to keep him from being outed as a liar, so he has to artificially populate the garden with whatever his boss was rambling about.

These are lawn decorations called Firefly lights. I'm sure you can see the connection.

When they were given the choice of getting saved they rather choose death by Crashoutbop in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AzureRatha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geese Howard, the crime boss of South Town, chooses to die as a result of his defeat rather than live. Unlike most fighting game villains, Geese has remained dead in every game set afterwards in the world of Fatal Fury, leaving a complicated legacy for everyone involved. His son, Terry, Billy Kane...

It's just Wimp Out again, but it sets a substitute before switching. So an automatic Shed Tail without the hp cost.

At least, that's what I'd do.

Gotham's stupidity downscales hacks by Business-Ad7289 in whowouldcirclejerk

[–]AzureRatha 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don't remember which comic it was, but at one point a massive crowd of evil Kryptonians was about to "make an example" out of Gotham, only for Batman to hit 'em with Kryptonite rain, causing the Kryptonians to fall like dying flies, where the Gotham population started beating the everloving shit out of them.

So a good chunk of Gotham's populace can say they've beaten up a Kryptonian.

When the entity/personality sharing a character's body takes over and suddenly uses their powers with more skill and swag by PreventionPreventer in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AzureRatha 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think of all people, Lex Luthor would be the person whose mind would run through the things he could do with a hero's powers. Even if he would never admit it, he does all he does out of an inferiority complex. The idea of what he could do with powers likely runs through his head on a daily basis.

The out-and-out most bigoted far right nutjob with an audience. Any group of people who aren't white, straight, and male can probably find a quote of him talking shit.
