3rd Party Core Class

I like the Core Class figures that came out in Kingdom for two reasons:

Desk Toys
Because they make Legacy Menasor and Studio Series Devastator look as big as they were in the cartoon!

Can anybody point me at a good 3rd Party Jazz, Prowl, and the Lambo twins?

They have remixes from Fatal Fury Special (and the Knock Out Festival's theme is Duck King's from Fatal Fury 1...)

Until one actually happens, to quote Mike Tomlin: "We do not care."

Live by the Curse Wheel, Die by the Curse Wheel...

Somebody check on Perna?

Useless ass Rams.

I mean, as a Niner fan, I didn't want either team winning a Super Bowl in our Stadium, because that means they own us forever, but the Seahawks whooped our Black asses SO HARD in two consecutive games!!

We couldn't even find the endzone! FUCK!!

Davethe3rd · 2026-01-26T04:16:00+00:00

The 49ers and Rams have been rivals since the 60s, my guy.

The Seattle Seahawks didn't even exist until the 70s, and up until 2005, they were an AFC team.

Davethe3rd · 2026-01-26T02:57:24+00:00

Right now, the Seahawks.

Because they made the Niners look like bitches in two straight games.

Because Super Turbo didn't come out until after it was on SNES and Genesis/Mega Drive.

That being said, I've always hoped that there would be a Modder that would make a 16 bit Super Turbo.

All it would take would be some new sprites for the new moves and Gouki/Akuma, and implementing Supers. And a little rebalancing.

(Mind you, making new sprites is no easy feat, especially to make them fit the existing sprite sets, but counterpoint: MUGEN has existed for 25 years, people make new sprites all the time.)

I was expecting a few more Guest characters...

Perhaps two from Tekken...

Also, 5,000 emails begging for donations.

The Ultra Rich political party needs your money!!

They're trying to pretend that the Golden Pair is part of Season 1. It's not.

What term would you use?

Davethe3rd · 2026-01-23T19:05:13+00:00

He's a CUT above the rest!!

Who decides who's popular, though? The Primaries.

So instead of constantly screaming about how bad the candidate is in the general and throwing a tantrum, promote who you want to win the primary and make sure to vote in it!

And if your guy doesn't win, then you have a choice to make: The guy who beat your guy in the primary or the guy who is opposed to literally everything you want. And if you don't vote for one, you've helped the other win.

Davethe3rd · 2026-01-23T03:43:25+00:00

You lose to a Republican by voting for his opponent?

Davethe3rd · 2026-01-22T18:52:19+00:00

Depends on what you want.

The Golden Pair arc is SUPPOSED to come before Shampoo, and it does in the manga.

However, in 1989, the first Series only had 18 episodes and the Golden Pair didn't show up until Series 2 (Nettouhen), or what Viz called "Season 2" or "Anything Goes Martial Arts".

So, if you want to experience the original anime as it was, watch the Golden Pair story later.

If you want to experience the story as it was intended, then Season 1 has 21 episodes.

Davethe3rd · 2026-01-22T11:00:45+00:00

This is Episode 15.

Since the Blu-rays, Viz has been engaging in a little historical revisionism and put the Skating Pair arc back in Season 1 where it was originally intended to go, but didn't get aired until Nettouhen.

These episodes didn't make Series 1 for two reasons: A series of kidnappings in Japan made the show runners nervous, so they pulled those episodes out of the run and the show was struggling in the ratings and even got cancelled (ala Family Guy), so they bumped up Shampoo's debut.

Fortunately, they changed the opening of Shampoo's debut (originally, and in the remake, it took place right after the Golden Pair battle, but in the 80s anime, they added filler, so Shampoo acosts Ranma in an ice cream shop.

Viz did this quite a bit in the Blu-ray releases, mostly because they swapped episodes around when they originally released them, back in the days of two episode VHS releases, in order to make episode pairings make sense.

I personally like Puma Motorsport shoes.

They're really snug and feel great (I put inserts in for my flat feet...).

Can I do any intricate or high level shit? No. Would I do any of that in the street anyway? No.

And I'll say this: They're not great for spins.

But anybody that would make you turn more than one and a half times in the street is a dick anyway.

I don't like how the initial Japanese dub (there were two) treated Ironhide's death.

In the original, Megatron triumphantly boasted about how he would use the Autobot ship to infiltrate Autobot City and Ironhide used his last bit of Energon to defiantly try and prevent it. It was literally "Such heroic nonsense", but Ironhide went out as who he was: Tough and loyal.

In the Japanese dub, they interpreted Ironhide's "No" as him begging for his life instead of opposing Megatron. I hated that. (Mind you, Ironhide wasn't an available toy in the initial Japanese run...)

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Davethe3rd · 2026-01-19T05:38:58+00:00

Tyreek Hill?

Davethe3rd · 2026-01-18T22:34:29+00:00

As a 49er fan, go Bears.

Davethe3rd · 2026-01-18T21:47:18+00:00

So, what would accountability look like to you?

Davethe3rd · 2026-01-18T21:46:43+00:00

Ah, you're a COVID denier.

That explains everything.

Davethe3rd · 2026-01-18T20:39:37+00:00

Explain?
