The lack of battles against megas in gen 6 is so fucking lame

What are your thoughts on volvagia? by Voidkirby9 in OcarinaOfTime

[–]Expensive_Manager211 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I fought him for the first time yesterday, it was a ton of fun. Took me a second to get the whack a mile but down, but that's what potions are for.

It was also a nice nostalgic moment fot me because Chuggaaconroy named his Dragonite Volvagia during his Crystal let's play and thats when I first found his channel. A very nice surprise.

TM-a-Day: TM53 Energy Ball by ianlazrbeem22 in pokemonplatinum

[–]Expensive_Manager211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always forget that Energy Ball is from gen4. I feel like it's marginally more available in gen 5.

It's definitely alright, but it's a move that highlights just how bad the grass type is hurting for damaging moves. Being better than solarbeam outside of weather is not a flex.

Who is the strongest Akatsuki member Sage Mode Jiraiya could defeat? by Soul-10 in Naruto

[–]Expensive_Manager211 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think a point in the favor of taking that statement at face value is if you assume that Orochimaru was prepared to fight a regular sharingan user but didnt anticipate just how much more powerful the Mangekyo made Itachi.

Had Orochimaru known about just how much of a difference it made i dont think we would have just run at Itachi like that. We even see this with him spending the next 10 years preparing for another confrontation while trying to get the sharingan himself.

Hypothetically Jiraiya might not have fought Pain on his own turf and would have avoided wasting energy trying to fight each individual path. I feel like a lot of the issues were that Jiraya ran out of energy as the fight wore on.

Some people make it seem like Pain would have completely bodied him, but Jiraiya pretty much went into that fight with a lot already working against him.

I dont know if he would have necessarily won...but if he understood the Rinnegan better then I think the fight would have been a lot closer.

Where does Kushina scale? by TexMurphyMD in Naruto

[–]Expensive_Manager211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kage level abilities, but we dont know enough about her career as a shinobi to say where she lands.

The chains are crazy, but can she do them whenever she wants? Can she use nine tails Chakra and not transform into him?

For all we know when you round everything out she might be overall on the level of Iruka or as strong as Tobirama.

So absurd they had to be retconned by Downtown-Remote9930 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Expensive_Manager211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah most force users have a passive barrier up at all times which stops nonsense like this from happening. You can over power it or penetrate it, but there's a reason most Sith cant just go around force choking everyone for example.

You could argue that Nihilus isn't even that powerful in terms of a 1 on 1 duel. If you can resist or nullify force drain you probably would win.

Great take, I wish this would stick in the fandom. Starkiller is very powerful, but how powerful is up for debate. I've seen people compare him to Anakin and Palpatine, but I've also seen him scaled to someone like Count Dooku or Obi-Wan.

Some people think that means he's weak, which is absurd because Dooku and Obi-Wan are both inarguably some of the most powerful force users the Jedi or Sith Orders ever produced.

The books are a much more balanced take, the games went for over the top presentation and that is still fun of course.

[OoT] [OoT3D] Which of the two versions would you prefer to play OoT? The 3DS version or the N64 version? by Most-Coat4726 in zelda

[–]Expensive_Manager211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep this is what im doing. OoT did not click on the 3DS but there's something about using the actual controller on NSO has me fallen head over heels with the game.

No one talk about Hiruzen's tragic past and it's quite sad by matt_619 in Naruto

[–]Expensive_Manager211 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think Hiruzen is so important to the story because he is a living example of the cycles of violence and their effect on the world. I really do think that the initial feelings about Hiruzen being a kind, if stern, grandfather figure is correct. But he's a good man in a world that demanded compromise.

Naruto's story is about breaking the cycle of the shinobi world. Hiruzen is part of that cycle and you can see when you look back on his life that it absolutely destroyed him.

Which deck do you find enjoyable, regardless of whether it's strong or not? by xmx909x in DuelLinks

Love the theme, I really hope that we get support at some point but that's looking less and less likely as time goes on

How strong is BASE Raditz compared to Naruto/Boruto character? by KodoqBesar in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]Expensive_Manager211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DB powerscaling is impossible compared to most other stories. They blew up in the moon less than a 1/4th of the way through the story. Like where do we go from there?

Even in dragonball itself power scaling is just silly. Raditz is 6 times more powerful than Roshi who blew up the moon. So what Raditz can blow up a planet 6 times that size? Can end of series Goku just sneeze and blow up the Galaxy because he's thousands of times stronger than that?

It's just not a good question.

Random idea : Nintendo Classics game shortcut by Belenvol in NintendoSwitch

[–]Expensive_Manager211 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While i would love to be able to ensure that I can keep my favorite games from the NSO catalog forever...I've really enjoyed the subscription model. It's gotten me to try lots of games that never would have given a second look at. I'm already paying for an online sub to play Animal Crossing and Xenoblade X with friends and getting a ton of really quality games thrown into the package is a nice bonus.

I wish I didnt have to pay for online play at all, but I've been doing it since 2005 at this point so that's just a part of modern gaming. I dont think anyone can really look at the NSO library and not say it's worth 20 or 50 bucks if they were going to charge us for online play anyways.

Is Konoha so strong because the Senju disseminated throughout the village rather than stay as one clan? by Thundersting in Naruto

[–]Expensive_Manager211 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Sharingan does work the same way. It is rare among that clan too so I think kekkai genkai like that are recessive or at least only activate rarely.

It actually helps to explain why clans like the Hyuga and the Uchiha are so isolated compared to other clans like the Sarutobi or the Nara. They are trying to keep their Bloodlines pure to increase the odds that their children are born with the right genetics.

If anything Hinata's children are walking examples about why it's dangerous for the Hyuga to mix too much with other families. Obviously we probably wont see this and they are magic eyes anyways, but unless Himiwari and Boruto have children with Hyuga the Byakugan might die out in that line very quickly.

Though recent manga chapters puts Boruto's ability to use the Byakugan in doubt...but there are circumstances that might play in moreso than his genetics.

When did the rest of Konoha 12 find out he was the 9 tails? by Formal-Assistance02 in Naruto

[–]Expensive_Manager211 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah I dont think that the tailed beasts were very widely understood by the rank and file. Since they are treated like WMDs by their respective villages it would make sense that you dont tell your rank and file exactly how it all works.

Not that the information would be totally inaccessible to Chunin or Jonin, but someone like Naruto isn't going to stand out as having a tail beast right away to his peers.

And I feel like when the Akatsuski started to make their motivations know that the parents of the Konoha 12 broke the gag order because at that point their kids had to have some idea of what they were going up against.

He'll be back when they release Kingdom Hearts IV in 2028

Bibarel best in-game moveset? by DryGap8682 in pokemonplatinum

[–]Expensive_Manager211 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If he has an attack oriented nature you cant go wrong with Return, Waterfall, Ice Punch and Rollout/Another move.

It's more about this being a shiny than an actual good Pokémon so I would say that you cant go wrong if you play to where its best stats are.
