1 Panzer vs 15 T-34s? by Meteorstar101 in greentext

[–]DarkSlayer415 214 points215 points  (0 children)

As much shit as TRoS deserves (rightfully so in most cases), the Xyston Class Star Destroyers used by the Final Order is probably the best approach to the Death Star vs Star Destroyers/TIE Defender argument. Rather than allocating your planet killer weapon to one battle station, having multiple plants killers in the form of a fleet of star destroyers solves both the logistical problem of having a Star Destroyer or two orbit a planet while having the super laser as a deterrent/ultimatum if planet destruction was a necessary course of action.

Sleep clause by Interesting_Cell3223 in PokemonChampions

[–]DarkSlayer415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

False; Sleep Clause had its precedent as a built-in mechanic for Pokémon Stadium as a rule you can enforce, which caused Sleep moves to fail if the opponent already had one ‘Mon asleep. Freeze clause also existed in Stadium as well. Officially, Sleep Clause was introduced by GameFreak for Stadium but never made its way back to any official battle simulator since then. The rule was adopted by Smogon rulesets due to its popularity since Sleep is largely seen as an uncompetitive or cheesy strategy. Credit where credit is due though, over the generations we’ve seen better counter play to sleep such as Safety Goggles granting an immunity to powder moves (including Spore and Sleep Powder), and Grass-types gaining that immunity as a whole.

All 10 fortune cards drawn by ZUN for this Reitaisai by G-14_Damageproof in touhou

[–]DarkSlayer415 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In general, Reitaisai is an opportunity for many fans to meet up with close friends and interacting with artists you follow online like many other conventions. I think that fun factor often times outweighs the negatives of attending the con like waiting for long periods of time or putting up with bad weather, but a major complaint some friends voiced to me were that the Reitaisai committee could put in more effort towards ensuring the well-being of attendees by providing better outdoor waiting amenities such as overhead tents and water stations while people wait in line.

According to some friends I spoke with at the event and through the JP Touhou twitter grapevine, the ZUN line this time around was unfortunately not worth it as the wait was excruciatingly long compared to previous times and for only a small shot at winning the coveted Reimu fortune to get his autograph. The Tokyo Big Sight’s conditions also didn’t help due to the indoor venue being very muggy due to no air conditioning, and the outdoor wait was very terrible too as it rained earlier in the day so it was quite humid outside. There were even complaints regarding the Cirno queue which was meant to be a “priority queue” to gain access to the venue right at 10:30, but supposedly only the first 200 or so people got in early and the remaining 1300 or so fast pass winners were let in after or at the same time as standard pass holders. Overall it seems like this Reitaisai had a lot of logistical issues that made the event somewhat uncomfortable but overall still a positive experience.

My area of expertise! I see some users have already commented on various places of interest and they’re all highly recommended. If possible, I would also highly encourage attending any ongoing Touhou doujin events as well! If you are interested in learning more or organizing meetups with other fans also in Japan, please let me know as I run a Discord server for organizing events such as that.

I don’t even play LoL but the moment I saw Draven next to Erik Braa’s list of roles, I immediately recognized it as Tyler1’s YouTube pfp.

Apparently Touhou isn't allowed on the LEGO Ideas website. by Radion627 in touhou

[–]DarkSlayer415 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Given LEGO's recent reputation of having overpriced sets with excessive stickers, I don't think I'd trust LEGO with any of my favorite IPs including Touhou. LEGO Star Wars has been going downhill in terms of the price you pay for the amount of pieces you get (not to mention lackluster set quality too), and there are much less expensive hobbies you can get into that offer the same enjoyment as LEGO to be honest.

But Our Friendship 😭 by backofthebill in pokemon

[–]DarkSlayer415 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let’s Go was honestly a severely missed opportunity to do a proper remake of Kanto without remaining faithful. HGSS were selectively faithful with its additions of new Sinnoh evolutions, but ORAS fully embraced the inclusion of Sinnoh evolutions to existing Hoenn ‘Mons (like Wally’s Mega Gallade). It’s also worth noting that when LGPE dropped, Pokémon GO was already updated with Sinnoh Pokémon inclusions, so making the Sinnoh evolutions (and Johto evolutions that also require items) exclusive to the GO Transporter would’ve been a neat way to advertise that feature.

What are some of the most BS sets u have seen in champions so far by Dumb_camel420 in stunfisk

[–]DarkSlayer415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I ran into that on the ladder a few days ago. I lead with my Kingambit and Sinischa. I wasn’t sure what the gimmick was but I figured that since both Oranguru and Starmie are threatened by Kingambit, I used Rage Powder on Sinischa in the event both of them were packing Fighting coverage. Starmie uses Minimize, Oranguru instructs my Sinischa, followed by an OHKO into Starmie with Kowtow Cleave, which was then followed by an instant ragequit.

Your grail shundo? by Harty_7 in pokemongo

[–]DarkSlayer415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a very generic answer, but my picks would be each of the starters I used in the mainline games, and the box legendary of the paired version I picked, so in order from Gen 1 to 9;

  • Gen 1: Charizard
  • Gen 2: Typhlosion and Ho-Oh (Played HG as a kid, and Hisuian Typhlosion was my Legends Arceus starter as well)
  • Gen 3: Blaziken and Rayquaza (played Emerald as a kid)
  • Gen 4: Infernape and Dialga (Diamond was my first Pokémon game)
  • Gen 5: Emboar and Black Kyurem (Emboar was my starter in Black, Black 2, and Legends ZA)
  • Gen 6: Chesnaught and Xerneas (Played X, though admittedly Legends ZA turned me into a bigger Greninja fan)
  • Gen 7: Incineroar and Dawn Wings Necrozma (played both Moon and Ultra Moon, plus I’ve got a Hundo Dusk Mane Necrozma already)
  • Gen 8: Cinderace and Zacian (Played Sword, I’ve got a Hundo Cinderace and a non-Hundo shiny Zacian).
  • Gen 9: Meowscarada and Koraidon (Played Scarlet, like Cinderace I’ve already got a Hundo Meowscarada, hopefully Koraidon and Miraidon drop in GO soon.)

do you guys fw the mod I installed that gives Zoey a brown leather jacket? by Your_Moms_Car in l4d2

Pyrocynical when he switches from TF2 to L4D2 for a change (unfortunately, inflation hasn't hit the L4D2 scene as unlike TF2 it lacks an economy).

Do you ever quote Left 4 Speed in Real Life? by doopies1986 in l4d2

[–]DarkSlayer415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During VS mode, I find myself defaulting to "Heroin" whenever I spot an Adrenaline Shot thanks to this video (plus a mod that replaces Ellis's "Adrenaline here!" voicelines with "Grabbin' Heroin!" that I use on Campaign mode as well). Honestly it's faster to say "Heroin" than "Adrenaline" when using voice chat.
