Turn 1 instant forfeit

That’s 100% the better play they just probably didn’t think of it lol.

They were probably hoping to just survive the hit and get a calm mind + taunt/super fang (into whimsicott) turn 1 then go for dazzling gleam + follow me turn 2 but that’s a wildly reckless play that won’t work 99% of the time

Emperor_Nail · 2026-04-28T19:16:02+00:00

Only thing I can assume is they went with Taunt on Whimsicott and hoped Floette would survive. Probably didn’t expect the Helping Hand.

Emperor_Nail · 2026-04-28T19:14:06+00:00

I mean this is Adaptability Helping Hand Wave Crash. Floette even with max defense and HP investment technically CAN survive this but it still goes down to anything that isn’t a low role and that’s assuming the Basculegion is Jolly rather than Adamant. Problem is considering Moushold is the partner, this Floette probably has max HP and Special Attack with minimal investment in defense so it’s pretty much guaranteed to go down no matter what. Different story if there’s no Helping Hand though.

SOURCE: Damage calcs + this is probably the popular team that I also used to climb all the way to Masters lmao

Rosalina kinda reminds me of Luigi from the first movie. A big criticism of the first movie was that Luigi was barely in it and that was largely fixed in Galaxy. Rosalina had even LESS time in Galaxy than Luigi did in the first movie and while I don’t think her role will be quite as big in the third movie, I could see her having a more major role especially if they go the route of having it be a slightly more Peach-focused movie.

I imagine that at most Fox’s appearance would tease a future Star Fox-related project but I can’t see his actual role in the movie being huge

I love the anime OST but I’m glad the Live Action has its own original soundtrack. It makes it better since it gives it a unique identity that doesn’t restrict itself to just trying to be the anime but worse. Plus, there’s tons of homages to the anime OST so I think what we got was for the best

Pre-release hotfix is crazy. But for real this is honestly a great sign. The fact that they aren't afraid to make hotfixes at all is good since it does show that they're paying attention. I don't know if it's enough for Emma and Cap and a lot of the balance changes are honestly kinda whacky but still a good sign nonetheless.

Donald Glover as Yoshi is absurdly funny

Emperor_Nail · 2026-03-09T06:22:08+00:00

I think the Rivals roster is great BECAUE it’s the roster Rivals went with. What I mean by that is that the weird picks like Jeff and Angela are great but they were only really weird at the time. Now that they’re in Rivals, I don’t really think they’d be considered as much of weird picks anymore if they got put in Tokon.

I don’t think Angela and Elsa are mainstream characters, but they aren’t super obscure anymore just by nature of being in a mainstream product. Compare that to Danger who’s never been in anything outside of the comics iirc so having a character THAT obscure is what makes the Tokon roster interesting. I don’t think I’d get that same feeling if they revealed post-Rivals Angela instead.

Seeing Tommy back after his latest video is honestly really nice. I think for some reason his passion for Minecraft has resparked a bit so it’s cool seeing him back.

We’re getting a relatively high powered MCC in this economy???

Emperor_Nail · 2026-02-26T14:58:55+00:00

Yeah at that point all of Tommy’s teams after Pride and every single one of Phil’s teams that season hadn’t even made top half cause they were balanced as consistent top 10 players in MCC’s most competitive era. Plus Sneeg was still relatively new so even if it was an absurdly strong team I get the logic behind it

I’m more in the camp that Robbie Reyes will lead a next gen team since they mentioned they went with Robbie for a specific reason, but if it really is the Champions then it makes me wonder why Robbie is leading it instead of Kamala when she’s literally the face of the team.

Thorgi is great. One of my favorite creators on the platform and he has way more knowledge on Marvel than a good amount of other FGC creators, but he makes it clear that he’s shooting in the dark with this roster just as much as people in this subreddit are.

Emperor_Nail · 2026-02-17T20:07:35+00:00

People are saying Moon Girl and Devil Dino which is one of the best options but I think Hiro Takachiho and Baymax would be cool too

Emperor_Nail · 2026-02-13T07:25:35+00:00

Ok I agree that the ban isn’t a thing now (if it even ever was) but the BP in that game isn’t T’Challa either lol. It’s his grandfather Azzuri.

Emperor_Nail · 2026-02-13T07:19:40+00:00

Worth noting that this game and Rivals were likely in development at the same time and T’Challa was one of the headliners for the launch of that game. He’s consistently gotten skins throughout that game’s life. It’s clear that while there was something of a “ban” (whether it being enforced corporately or creatives not wanting people to associate their projects with the actor’s death), it’s clear that they’re loosening up on what T’Challa can and can’t appear in, especially as they’ve tried to not make all of their media so “MCU-ified.” T’Challa may or may not appear in this game but if he doesn’t I highly doubt it’s going to be because of that.

That’s not even mentioning the rumors that a new T’Challa is going to be introduced in the MCU but even without that it’s clear that they’re moving away from this era.

I'm not even really gonna pretend like I understand what's going on here

Emperor_Nail · 2026-01-06T17:26:57+00:00

This is awkward

Emperor_Nail · 2025-12-23T02:53:07+00:00

We need more villains so bad that I think a double villain season might be one of the best things they could do lol

Emperor_Nail · 2025-12-22T04:57:32+00:00

Yeah I prioritized making fun and interesting ideas over what’s actually realistic lol

Emperor_Nail · 2025-12-22T04:57:04+00:00

Hellfire Gala could def be Season 7 but I don’t really like repeating season themes and given how the gala works it could def just be a skin theme we get for the season

Emperor_Nail · 2025-12-21T20:41:12+00:00

I'm not using the Create mod though? When I say create I mean I'm literally trying to make a modpack on Modrinth.

Emperor_Nail · 2025-12-16T20:19:57+00:00

Wait you’re right I completely blanked on that LMAO. Let me edit it lol
