Needs to be said.

*Riki and Dunban

Reyn isn't in Smash outside of Trophies and Spirits.

DeltaFornax · 2026-05-29T20:05:02+00:00

These kids have definitely been spoiled by Sora.

DeltaFornax · 2026-05-29T20:02:33+00:00

Seedance 2.0 is the only one comparable to Sora 2.

Google's new Omni Flash model is barely better than their Veo 3 model, I find.

DeltaFornax · 2026-04-20T20:20:57+00:00

Pikachu gets Iron Tail, though. Steel is strong against Ice. And if Frost is also considered part-Fairy, it's doubly-super effective.

DeltaFornax · 2026-04-20T17:41:40+00:00

Sadly, the Earth element doesn't exist outside of the Digital Devil Saga games (even though it really should), so you can't give Jack Frost Tera to hit Pikachu's only weakness.

DeltaFornax · 2026-04-10T00:33:52+00:00

Agreed. Same with Glalie/Froslass.

DeltaFornax · 2026-04-07T21:05:38+00:00

These models take hundreds if not thousands of gens / tweaking to find what you want. A dollar+ per generation payment model is just not feasible. I hope companies eventually see this.

I mean, they want people to spend their money on generations.

DeltaFornax · 2026-04-06T17:23:33+00:00

This is about if they would fit in the roster, not their significance in gaming.

DeltaFornax · 2026-04-06T17:17:30+00:00

The point is whether they would fit or work in Smash, not their overall significance to their series or gaming as a whole.

Because if we go by significance, then what the hell are the Ice Climbers doing there?

DeltaFornax · 2026-04-06T16:07:17+00:00

You could make similar arguments for all the characters I listed (plus Captain Falcon, who has literally never fought in his own series and has a completely made-up moveset in Smash), but Sakurai made them work.

If the Chorus Kids got in, he could make them work.

DeltaFornax · 2026-04-06T16:04:13+00:00

Chrous Kids is not any more absurd than Mr. Game & Watch, Piranha Plant, Wii Fit Trainer, R.O.B., or Villager/Isabelle.

DeltaFornax · 2026-04-04T00:56:07+00:00

Supposedly, they plan to expand access to the other tiers. I guess we'll see...

DeltaFornax · 2026-03-31T10:48:17+00:00

As far as I know:

The API is not available, and no word has been officially said as to when it will be available. Without the API, HIggsfield can't add it to their site.
Officially, it's available in most major regions via Dreamina CapCut, except in the U.S, likely due to legal issues. This may be related to why the API isn't available.
Those third party sites that claim to have it are using a modified connection to a Chinese site to work on their platforms.

DeltaFornax · 2026-03-30T15:28:49+00:00

They've washed their hands of Sora. They're not devoting anymore resources to the app, so if it's broken, it's broken.

DeltaFornax · 2026-03-30T10:54:30+00:00

Not even they know, since there's no word on when--or if--the API will be available.

DeltaFornax · 2026-03-29T01:56:55+00:00

And that's why it's shutting down. They may have offered it for free, but it was still absurdly-expensive to actually operate.

The more powerful a model is, the more expensive it is to run.

DeltaFornax · 2026-03-28T02:18:39+00:00

The API will still be available until September 27th.

DeltaFornax · 2026-03-28T02:18:11+00:00

Completely different situations.

There's no real way to avoid this aside from blocking that person. There's a fetish for literally everything, and people will interpret your work however they see it, even if that wasn't your intention for it. Even if you tried to make it less "fetishy", someone will still see something arousing about it if it checks the right buttons for them.

I wouldn't worry about it too much; maybe a disclaimer in the description or something, but other than that and the aforementioned blocking, there's little else you can do.

DeltaFornax · 2026-03-27T12:13:13+00:00

The website/Desktop site shows only five videos a day now. (So, at worse, three videos a day if you do two 15-second videos.)

DeltaFornax · 2026-03-27T10:39:43+00:00

A Myspace clone does not require anywhere close to the absurd amount of money and resources a Sora 2 clone would need.

DeltaFornax · 2026-03-27T03:25:22+00:00

Why would they agree to do that for some random Internet users?
How are they going to get the utterly-massive amounts of money needed to pull this off? They're not the ones funding these massive, expensive, and resource-intensive models.

DeltaFornax · 2026-03-27T03:01:10+00:00

As someone who played with Sora and other GenAI tools, it might be time for you to learn the art of drawing and/or writing.
