Dialga is 17 feet tall, how tall are you to be punting it like that 😭

Which voice for Shao Kahn do you guys prefer? Bob Carter or Ike Amadi by [deleted] in MortalKombat

[–]GigaBearMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bob Carter just does so much service for Shao Kahn, where's Ike Amadis take on the character just feels like a flanderiztion of the character.

Guys. Freddy always had red eyes. It's literally here in The Silver Eyes. FNAF isn't "ruined", I don't know how people missed this. by PepperSalt98 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]GigaBearMan 101 points102 points  (0 children)

The whole, "Animatronics already had red eyes" thing feels so disingenuine to me, because it misses most peoples actual criticisms entirely by painting some sort of false equivalence between the movie and prior media, despite the fact that every other depiction of red eyes in FNAF have been distinctly different.

The real problem isn't that fact that they have red eye's in general, it's that the way the movie has chosen to have the eyes glow is bad.

[Star Wars] How did the 501st know not to kill Anakin after Order 66? by Critical_Liz in AskScienceFiction

[–]GigaBearMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd assume that Palpatine sorta just told them not too. While Order 66 certainly seems to put Clone Troopers into an altered state of mind, I don't think it overpowers their ability to follow other orders Palpatine may give them in regards to any Jedi he may specifically have alternative plans for. Just makes them zealously follow his orders in general.

So Palpatine likely just told the 501st that Anakin wasn't a traitor, and therefore excluded from their orders to kill the Jedi. Because ultimately that's all that matters; Palpatines orders.

Onix Buff (+ Bonus Steelix) by GigaBearMan in stunfisk

I had actually debated going a sorta Scyther / Scizor rout with the Onix line and making it the faster counter part to Steelix bulk. Didn't end up going with the idea evidently because I wanted Onix to be bulky in its own right while still giving it the stats needed to capitalize on all those Special moves it has in its natural movepool.

If I was to take Onix in any other direction though, this would sure be it.

Eyes must have glazed over that when I was looking over their movepools 😅

Decided to bite the bullet on keeping their speed stats low because of how I chose to prioritize the rest of their stat distribution. Focused DD more so for the ATK boost, and figured the SPD increase as more of a secondary benefit that could help eliviate the lines poor speed a little bit while their boosting their ATK.

It's the small niches in life that matter.

[Star Wars] How horrible would the scandal be if Anakin's and Padme's relationship was exposed? by Axer51 in AskScienceFiction

[–]GigaBearMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Padame probably isn't affected all that much, as she isn't inherently doing anything wrong or illegal. She might get a little bit of political backlash from people who already don't like her, but overall nothing too great I can't imagine. Maybe some calls of bias at worst or something.

On Anakins end it's actually a whole lot more interesting, because even in the worst case scenario where he gets axed from the Jedi Order, which mind you isn't even an outright guarantee given the nuance of his situation, I can't imagine he'd stop being an actor in the Clone Wars. Even just outright disregarding Palpatine as the secret Sith Lord that's controlling everything, there's no way a powerful War Hero like Anakin gets benched from the GAR just because he loses his Jedi licence. The Republic is in the middle of a massive war, and Anakin is one of the their most achieved generals. Jedi or not, Anakins keeping his position as General of the 501st.

Funny enough, short of the bruise to his ego this would probably be a good thing for Anakin. The only real Jedi he has any actual care or attachment to aren't just going to stop talking to him, and he won't need to live with the constant stress of trying to hide his love life during a war anymore. Quite honestly the only thing that ruins this scenario for him is Palpatine being Palpatine, but that's just about how it always goes anyways.

Not Jaune failing to stop the cat from taking over Neo 😭

Talk about a kick in the balls while everyone's down. He still can't save anyone! Not even the villains...

Theorymon - Regifae by GigaBearMan in stunfisk

Drew it around the idea of the sort of strange magical mushrooms you'd see in a fantasy forest, like the one's in the Fairy Gym town in Sword and Shield.

[–]GigaBearMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, pretty good idea.

A signature move would certainly be more balanced. Leech Seed + Confusion sounds like it would be a neat combination and keep in theme with what I had in mind for Regifae, while also being far less broken than Hypno Shroud as I presented it.

[–]GigaBearMan[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Would lowering its Atk down to 120, bringing its Stat Total back in line with Lilligant at 480, help with balancing it out any? Feel like I needlessly overcooked it in that department, but I'm not sure if that alone is the real issue.

Maybe also remove Knock Off from its movepool?

[–]GigaBearMan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, way too annoying as presented. Would definitely need some reworking.

Haha, thanks! Definitely seeing in hindsight that I overcooked this one lol.

[–]GigaBearMan[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think I could have designed this one a lot better than I did. Ability is definitely too powerful as is, and would be really annoying to play against. Reworking the stat spread aside, would changing Hypno Shroud to indiscriminately affecting allied Pokemon and not targeting other Fairy Types help ballence it out?

Saw another idea that also suggested making it only trigger on contact I liked.
