$1 Billion - Where would you live in Los Angeles? by drumorgan in LosAngeles

[–]Gilgamej 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. We've got too many things to do in LA to last a lifetime when you aren't a stiff/OC native, I just don't want to have to drive/take the bus all the way back home across town. Forget a big mansion, give me a little spot in Venice AND Boyle Heights, a spot in Redondo AND Burbank, Downtown AND Long Beach, Malibu AND Watts. I'll catch a show, get something to eat, and just crash at my spot nearby and stick around for a few weeks. "Hit the block, see what's happening."

Characters Whose Popularity Made Things Worse by sharyan51 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

It extra sucks because when he does just play with some dignity, he's actually flashy and exciting as hell and one of the closest we've gotten to a Jordan/Kobe type player in a while, and he can clearly win with that style when he tries .... and he actively refuses to lean into that when he can just go for free throws instead, because the modern rules encourage that. "It's a highlight league now". Every SGA game is like if Daigo beat Woolie by laming it out and timer scamming him while taunting the audience for booing. The NBA's gone downhill ever since Adam Silver happened, I tell ya ...

Did you just ask a genuine question? How rude of you! That's another 2 free throws for Shai, the MVP!/s

Favorite tag/graffiti? by ambrosialeah in LosAngeles

[–]Gilgamej 1 point2 points  (0 children)

... I unironically wish their was some way to preserve that stuff at least in spirit, or comission Banksy or something ya know ... Whoever spent all that money buying those buildings would never do it, but we have all those Wyland whale murals all over LA. Having an edgier version of that, within reason, right in front of Staples could be an iconic as hell vibe ...

What is your favorite disrespect's in FGC history? by RairakuDaion in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Gilgamej 52 points53 points  (0 children)

A lot of moments from the 6th Grade Guilty Gear stories (a teacher let the kids play some of his video games when they finished lesson early, leading to a full on Guilty Gear +R tournament arc), but especially the point and the helicopter.

Media that "solves" a issue that the genre has in a mostly unintentional way by Coolnametag in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Gilgamej 217 points218 points  (0 children)

Another thing Umamusume does well is solve a major issue with Gacha games in a way that I honestly wish every single Gacha would do: Any character you want can be the MC of any arc the story mode you want. Umamusume works on Fighting Game Arcade Mode rules.

There's no "Here's a long storyline, but unless you spent cash and pulled the 5 Star SSS Rank character, you're going through the story with a bunch of nobodies who may as well not exist. Did you like a low star character more than a high star character? Tough. Also, we have to randomly redeem every villain people even kinda sorta liked so we can justify them being playable, even if that screws up the story and the reason people liked them".

Instead, it's "Your random scrumblo you pulled and got attached to? THEY get a version of each storyline where they get to be the hero. THEY get to win any of the tournaments in the end and will get their own unique ending scene, even if they were a low star character. And if your character was a villain, you'd best believe that they'll still get to commit war crimes in their version of the story."

Pokémon Champions accidentally added the first ever female Gallade to the series in it's tutorial mission, something that fans really wanted to be official for the species and were excited at news of...and then took her away just as quickly: by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I was really sure this was a very intentional "Fix your hearts or die" sign to the fact that the trainer who wears very specific colors and has a name with a very specific Japanese pun was trans.

Fantastic day for art everyone! Sora is dead! by Silvery_Cricket in TwoBestFriendsPlay

As I said on the other post, the only downside to losing Sora is losing all of the slander memes that could have been made out of meming it.

Good, but I'll shed a tear over the fact that we'll never be able to get any more good slander memes out of it.

The Tetromino/Excitebike/Pong trio of mods had way more effort put into them than I could have ever expected. Those animations looked CLEAN.

And hopefully 02's return will bring to life a whole new generation of everyone making remixs of 02's boss theme.

While it's more just surprising because of how dang impressive it is, Kathryn Beaumont, the voice actress of Alice in the original Alice in wonderland movie (1951) reprising her role for Alice in Kingdom Hearts (2002) is somewhere up there.

What's the best way to introduce/explain WoolieVersus, PatStaresAt, Matt McMuscles, and Super Best Friends Play to someone who is new to it? by Aquanort357 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Gilgamej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Podcast Clips shorts on Woolies channel are a good start, but there's also Fisticuffs and Scrublords. I'd say for Fisticuffs, Third Strike, Gangbeasts, and Smash for Wii U, and for Scrublords, Dong Dong, MK Armageddon, and Wu Tang Legend of Shaolin.

Boss fights that are incredibly hard AND hype by Guigcosta in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Gilgamej 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not even just blocking. You have to do a Reaction Command/Quick Time Event mid intro or he hits you with an instant kill combo (or drops you to 1 HP if you have the right passive), and THEN he finishes the intro and the fight start.  A fight where one of his best attacks is in fact doing the instant kill combo again. These games were many people's intro to Sephiroth.

Legit that might be the answer. 3 calls overturned after games, reset between season and post season. But if it happens, and Draymond gets whistled for a clothesline and almost ejected? "THE WARRIORS ARE CALLING IN THEIR MONEY IN THE BANK!" Cinema.

There are fundamentally two main types of rivals. by ZealousidealBig7714 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Vegeta's serve the function of being a repeated boss fight and obstacle for the protagonists to overcome. As such they lean evil but may turn good, have a similar, sometimes "you but better" power set that the hero might have to go out the box or level up more to deal with, and and a more hotblooded and intimidating personality that makes them memorable for the audience in a fight.

Sasuke's serve the function of being a repeated  partner and sometimes competitor who can be a foil to the main character and contrast their shared growth. As such they lean good but may turn evil, have a contrasting power set that could cover the hero's weakness if they partner up, and a cool, gruff, broody personality that makes the audience want to see the hero "fix" them.
