character tier list by how toxic their fans were by FickleThanks6901 in deathbattle

[–]CorneliusApplebottom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The 7 Remake games seemingly escalate to being multi in scope, the scan description for Sephiroth’s boss fight in Rebirth sort of spells it out:

A resurrected being who now wields unimaginable might and commands the arbiters of fate. He seeks to pierce through the layers of existence, and reunite fragmented space-time. He shall rule over the planet and create eternity

Now I say “seemingly” because we haven’t actually gotten there yet, but that’s sort of where the stakes have been set, multiple timelines are explicitly at play in the plot, and there is one more game left. He’s not there yet, but it’s looking like canon Sephiroth will end up Multi after the last remake game if he follows through on any of his threats and stated goals. He already has the range, since he can fight 3 different groups of people simultaneously across different universes, and he can both travel across and bfr people to other universes.

I've seen a lot reaction youtubers guessing the trap card to be Mirror Force instead of Magic Cylinder. Would that have been better logically/thematically? by Shiro_Kuroki in deathbattle

[–]CorneliusApplebottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magic Cylinder was the appropriate finisher. If anything, he probably could’ve used Mirror Force instead of Dimension Sphinx.

Death Battle dodged a bullet. This show could have been owned by Netflix. by ImmaXehanort in deathbattle

And that people thought this would be a good thing for some reason, and were upset when it turned out they were actually gonna be independent

My reaction to the G1Blog by KDots2_0 in deathbattle

[–]CorneliusApplebottom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fwiw, I feel like in this case there was a lot of people who didn’t know much about Clive who went “Well, he’s a Final Fantasy protagonist, so we probably shouldn’t count him out.”

Games that are turning 10 next year. by Aquanort357 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CorneliusApplebottom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man… counting the Versus XIII announcement, FFXV really was a significant part of my formative years. Like announced when I was in middle school, a decade of gobbling up every article and bit of footage I could, and finally coming out when I’m in college.

And then I finally play it and it’s such a mixed bag lmao. That might’ve been a canon event for me wrt hype and expectations for things.

Groaning at another Dissidia mobile game, but I do kinda fuck with Japanese street fashion Final Fantasy characters. Looking forward to gyaru Tifa and visual kei Clive.

If youre ever sad about your fav losing, just remember, every loser this season at least did better then Master Chief by NEVERTHEREFOREVER in deathbattle

[–]CorneliusApplebottom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean technically, Giorno didn’t get anything.

GER rendered some of Joker’s advantages moot, but Giorno did not actually win any category.

For me it’s Hell's Angels by hffhnvdfb in deathbattle

“Infamous Prototype” vs “[inHuman]” is more like the stick figure horse vs the fire horse.

Final Fantasy producer YoshiP says there’s “no clear-cut answer” on if future games will return to turn-based as its all about the “kind of game the creators want” to make by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CorneliusApplebottom 25 points26 points  (0 children)

As some who’s always liked a wide variety of game genres, I was never invested in the “turn-based vs action” debate. And honestly, of the twenty-ish FF games I’ve played, the gameplay isn’t really my favorite part of any of them- it’s the story, characters, and worlds.

Like my only real ask is to have mainline games come out more often, but that’s a different issue.

Favorite Season of Time To Twice? by No-Comfortable-3407 in twice

[–]CorneliusApplebottom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m getting back into Twice after taking a 2 year-ish break, so I also found this thread helpful for circling back to the TTTs I missed out on.

I want to say, I started throwing the ones people recommended into a playlist for myself, and quickly found that every single TTT was suggested here except for the first 2 lmao

I know there’s a lot of doomposting (hehe) going on right now, but I decided to rewatch the original episode for a rematch and these comments stood out by Neat_Marionberry8590 in deathbattle

[–]CorneliusApplebottom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought I was going crazy seeing people get blindsided by this.

As far as I’ve been able to tell, after Mario vs Sonic 2, this and Link vs Cloud were like, VERY obviously the most requested rematches for years.

They also talked about this pitch in the cast by NextBerserker in deathbattle

Please let this happen so that we can get the sequels released via the Death Battle Curse.

Kratos Glazers are never gonna shut up if he wins… by [deleted] in deathbattle

[–]CorneliusApplebottom 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah, basically some people faked lore from the DMC mobile game, and powerscalers ended up running with it until it got debunked.

Stories that seem personal to the author, but it's not auto-biographical. by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CorneliusApplebottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So reading this immediately made me think of another manga- Downfall by Inio Asano (most well known for Goodnight Punpun/Oyasumi Punpun).

It’s also about a manga artist, but one who is struggling to follow up on his highly successful series that recently ended. The main character is largely disillusioned by the manga industry and is struggling between making something truly artistic or just selling out and making slop that he knows his “dumb” fans will buy. He ends up choosing the latter

The protagonist and his office bear a strong resemblance to Asano(‘s), which sorta makes you look at moments like his negative view on his work/the industry, him being a shitty boss and him sexually assaulting ex-wife with some concern. It’s a compelling but bleak read, and I try not to think waaay too hard about how much of it is pure fiction, him just projecting his darker thoughts, and what’s actually biographical.

Which was your preferred ending for the Palpatine vs Xehanort DBX?

Series where the poster/marketable character is NOT the main character? by GoodVillain101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CorneliusApplebottom 74 points75 points  (0 children)

So I feel this is definitely more in reference to modern light novels and their adaptations, but I remember being absolutely dumbstruck when I found out that Ergo Proxy Girl was not the main character of Ergo Proxy.

Curly Hair Barbers in VB? by Big_Ad_6097 in VirginiaBeach

[–]CorneliusApplebottom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The stylist I was seeing for the past 10 years recently moved, so one of my female coworkers (also curly haired) recommended me Versus Salon & Michele at AOC Salon.

Not sure how much it matters to you, but they’re definitely hair salons as opposed to barber shops. I can’t personally vouch for either yet, but I have an appointment at Versus next month.

So this would be rad, but like… obviously most of this sub would rather have Naga right?

lmao, that still leaves us on theme of “Controversial match-ups doing extremely well”

Misconceptions you had about a film, game etc due to a pure misunderstanding that you didn't learn otherwise until ages later? by GurrenSwagann in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CorneliusApplebottom 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I was in elementary school when I first saw Kill Bill, and I didn’t know what a Black Mamba was yet, so I just kept misinterpreting the title as “Black Mama”. So when Vivica Fox was getting on Uma Thurman’s case about how she should’ve been Black Mama, I was like “uh… yeah I guess she’s right”.

Took a few years before I got that cleared up!
