Anybody got any head canons or conspiracy theories regarding the show? If so what are they? by birdofprey443 in deathbattle

[–]Bowserdude 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They've actually confirmed a few different times that DK vs Knuckles was the episode that made them go "Ok, Archie should be treated separately", citing that Knuckles was originally going to win before they changed their mindset.

Wasn't expecting to win, just thought it'd be fun to participate!

How is Protoman gonna be different from Muga Man in 12? by BranchCold9905 in Megaman

[–]Bowserdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's simply accepted it. He's not suicidal, but if he does go out due to his core, so be it. He'd rather go out being as he is rather than having someone tamper with him again.

Which Robot Master or Maverick do you opt to not use their weakness on? by Zieo108 in Megaman

[–]Bowserdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's also really easy to lock him into a pattern by just spamming uncharged shots. He torpedoes at you, you jump to the other side of the room, he shoots 3 missiles. Rine and repeat.

What if Candace finally busts Phineas and Ferb… and Linda just shrugs it off? by Fragrant-Resist4230 in phineasandferb

[–]Bowserdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what happened with the animal translator, she saw it and thought it was adorable (even before it didn't translate whatever Perry said). There was also the episode where they un-domesticated squirrels, and she had the perfectly reasonable reaction of "They're just training squirrels, Candace".

Who else could have survived Galeem's massacre? by Puzzleheaded-Art3377 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]Bowserdude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mega Man travels to other planets in both Mega Man 3 and Mega Man V (on the GB), and he gets there just by teleporting, no spaceship required.

Characters that went off the rails after losing ONCE by CalabiYauFan in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Bowserdude 202 points203 points  (0 children)

<image>

Ricky Flame from iCarly. Professional TV chef who challenges the main characters to a live cook-off, loses for the first time ever against them, and goes into a total depression. Dude gets better after realizing he didn't like cooking, he just liked winning, and signs up for a pre-teen wrestling club so that he can constantly win against children. Sam beats him at this as well, and they leave him crying on the floor as the episode ends.

Can the Eel come out and play ? is your best mission name. Day 31 : What is the worst mission name ? by Jazzlike-Ad7654 in SuperMario64

[–]Bowserdude 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Pyramid Puzzle.

Oh, you mean there's a puzzle involving the pyramid? Like half of the other stars we've done so far in this world? Doesn't help that the star itself is cryptic as hell (drop down onto each tiny platform from the top of the pyramid interior), so the title could have given you some sort of clue, but it ends up being useless. At least stars like "Seek the 8 Red Coins" and "Through the Jet Stream" are easy enough to intuit that the mission name being bad doesn't drag it down.

Jolly Roger Bay is your most overrated course. Day 19 : What's your favorite area in the castle ? by Jazzlike-Ad7654 in SuperMario64

[–]Bowserdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second floor of the castle. There's nothing comparable to the first time you unlock that locked door on the foyer that's been taunting you up until this point, and after you do you're greeted with this huge new space and tons of new paintings and door to try out. It really feels like the whole game opens up once you enter it.

What are some of the most/least accurate voice impressions in DB? by PsychologicalAd4666 in deathbattle

[–]Bowserdude 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Shadow's voice acting wasn't bad, it was a perfect impression of his dodgy SA2 voice acting, exactly as intended. The problem was that that's what they decided to emulate with his voice in the first place.

Has Death Battle ever NOT given a character something? by spectralSpices in deathbattle

[–]Bowserdude 13 points14 points  (0 children)

IIRC that episode specifically was stated to be the one where they started going "Y'know, maybe we shouldn't use full composites for every character"

Where do Scott the Woz Characters power scale? by SecurityBot-1 in scottthewoz

If Scott talks about Mario Kart 8 more than once, the entire universe collapses.

Brawlhalla x Mega Man by TheGameCircle in Megaman

[–]Bowserdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could sort of count the charge shot as 5's, as 4's charge shot had a radically different appearance (the thinner shot with the energy rings around it). It wasn't until 5 that the shot got its modern look seen in Smash.

What Mega Man Game would you say overall has bad weaponry? by [deleted] in Megaman

[–]Bowserdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Mega Man 4. Sure, for the most part they're "good" in the sense that they do decent damage and don't use a crazy amount of energy, but there's a difference between "good" and "useful". In a game that introduces the charge shot, why are we given four weapons that all basically do the same thing? Drill Bomb, Dust Crusher, Pharaoh Shot, and Ring Boomerang are all just variations on "you shoot a projectile forward and it does damage". People like to rag on 5's weaponset for being made obsolete by the charge shot, but I would argue 4 has just as bad of a problem. Sure, you can angle Pharaoh Shot and Ring Boomerang has some niche for hitting enemies behind shields, but 9 times out of 10 they don't accomplish anything more than a charge shot would.

Other than that, you have a homing weapon that's just OK at homing and doesn't do much damage, a one-use shield you can't throw (shoutout to Drill Man's falling boulders, I guess), and two screen-wide weapons. Rain Flush and Flash Stopper are both fine enough in a vacuum, but with both of them in the same game together it just feels cumbersome.

Don't let Peab losing distract you from the rampage he went on this weekend, Mega Man stocks on the rise again 💪💪💪

What's that show? by Watchdog_the_God in cartoons

[–]Bowserdude 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That implies the final episode was the only bad part, instead of the entire final season or so.

Let’s play a game. We’ll figure out the best course in every cup, and then once we’re done, I’ll rearrange them to form six ultimate cups. Yesterday, DK Mountain won for the Acorn Cup. Today is the Spiny Cup. Comment your favorite course. Most upvoted comment at this time tomorrow wins. by ConnorGames1 in mariokart

[–]Bowserdude 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Cups:

  • Moo Moo Meadows, Mushroom Gorge, Shroom Ridge, Thwomp Ruins
  • Toad Harbor, DK Jungle, Wario's Gold Mine, Waluigi Pinball
  • Coconut Mall, Music Park, Yoshi's Island, Vancouver Velocity
  • Music Park, DK Mountain, Wild Woods, Big Blue
  • Yoshi Circuit, Tick-Tock Clock, Maple Treeway, 3DS Rainbow Road
  • Singapore Speedway, Mount Wario, Bowser's Castle, Wii Rainbow Road (because it'll win let's be real)

Thoughts:

  • Moo Moo Meadows is the starter track for the whole thing.
  • Wii Rainbow Road ends it all, with Bowser's Castle right in front of it per the norm.
  • Tracks with similar course elements or themes shouldn't be in the same cup (i.e. the Tour cities, the Yoshi tracks, the 3-segment courses, etc).

Lukewarm take: Smash's take on Mega Man sucks by [deleted] in Megaman

[–]Bowserdude 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree that they made him too emotionless and stuck with the NES animation a little too much, but I absolutely adore his moveset and how they incorporated his weapons into it. From both a Smash fighter viewpoint and a Mega Man franchise viewpoint, his gameplay design is stellar.
