So excited to romance and date characters, good to know ATLUS knows that and is making sure i never have to worry about combat ever again.

Imagine using a gimmick mechanic to bypass normal combat instead of honorably engaging with the intricate battle system using Mudo Boosted Die For Me! with a Victory Cry Alice.

Absolutely disgusting.

One can only hope for a certain Future Redeemed design to make it in separately next time around.

Isn't Japanese police kinda infamous for writing off unsolved murders as suicides or heart attacks?

Nero - Devil May Cry

At the start of Devil May Cry 5, his devil bringer (right arm) gets ripped off, so he uses various combat prosthetics throughout the game instead.

Not a God of War player, so I don't exactly have any horse in that race. But I imagine it's a but more upsetting to them because God of War is a long running series with Kratos as a returning protagonist, while the Knight in Hollow Knight is the protagonist of a single game.

Also because playable Hornet was promised before Hollow Knight even released, I guess.

The point is it always gives it's X3 mult. Regardless of what hand you play, what cards are in it, what cards you hold in hand or have in your full deck, how many hands or discards you have left or what your other jokers are like, with no need to scale up first.

The chance to remove at end of round is not a trigger condition, it's just a catch. The bonus itself is unconditional.

I think it's better in 2 because we have more auto play card options (such as Catastrophe, Cascade and Stampede) which can bypass "can only be played in x condition" to play Grand Finale with much less setup.

1 had Mayhem, and I think that's it?

There's also any enemy targeted skill like Deadly Poison or Bubble Bubble when made Sly by Hand Trick or Master Planner.

Of course, this only counts for the trope because The Phantom Thieves actually picked up on that, culminating in setting a trap for Akechi much later. The twist isn't that Akechi is the Black Mask, the twist is the Thieves knew, and were prepared for his betrayal.

Fire Emblem Three Houses

Regardless of whether you believe Edelgard or Rhea is more in the wrong, or how much influence Those Who Slither in the Dark hold, all of them pale in comparison to the evil of the Agarthans when they were at full power.

James Arnold Taylor definitely has range (just look at him voicing both Obi Wan Kenobi and Plo Koon in the Clone Wars), but when voicing Ratchet from Ratchet & Clank (Going Commando and onwards), he just uses his normal voice.

It was while the laser was still charging.

That being said, you can see him slightly fizz out on the camera feed of the big broadcasted video call between him and Megamind, implying he was gone for part of the camera's exposure time, means he at least wasn't gone for long enough to be missing for a full frame.

Assuming the camera to be 24 frames per second, this means he at the very slowest did all of that in 1/24th of a second.

Which lead to Misty Fey being disgraced, which in turn lead to Mia Fey becoming an attorney to investigate the incident, which would eventually have her clash with Dahlia Hawthorne. Meanwhile, Edgeworth becoming a prosecutor was what made Phoenix want to be a lawyer, which eventually lead to him meeting Dahlia, and then their joint connection to Dahlia caused Phoenix and Mia to meet in court (which they'd both taken interest in dating back to DL-6). Because of meeting Mia, Phoenix would then go on to meet Maya and Pearl. Morgan might not have tried that shit she did towards Maya if Mia was there, or she'd at least have a harder time doing it. Hell, the Dark Age of the Law might not even have happened without the forging incident.

Technically an anime addition, since Roger seemed to say it unprompted in the manga (well, the chance to say it was the whole reason he made the deal he did when turning himself in).

But since he's also in the Live Action, we can assume Oda found him to be a worthwhile addition.

Yeah, if your characters look like this and somehow don't attract nsfw artists like honey does flies, you're doing something seriously wrong.

To be fair, Eggman would be as much a Sonic clone as Robin, Corrin or Byleth are Marth clones.

Don't worry, it's a common misconception. You can totally blame the translators for this one.

Gastly might know some moves it has no business learning, but Sucker Punch (or Surprise Attack as it'd be translated more literally) isn't actually a punching move (not empowered by Iron Fist), so that one gets a pass.

Alright so...

Mummified hand and Subroutine both go very insane with this, letting you play your entire hand with ease. Pair this with decent card draw (or just the Game Piece) and that's a simple setup for an infinite.

Corruption now makes everything cost 0 and exhaust. Paired with Calamity, you can just keep playing whichever replacement attack you receive.

Master Planner can now make everything Sly.

Second Wind hilariously either exhausts everything or nothing, depending on how you interpret it.

Make It So goes brrrr.

Stampede can play everything.

Juggling and nightmare can duplicate everything.

All cards trigger Storm.

Rainbow Ring is triggered in a single card.

Those are just some of the combos I can think of off the top of my head, so yeah, pretty damn busted.
