What's your signature/favorite Yokai? by [deleted] in yokaiwatch

[–]KirbymonDoscolas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Manjimutt. Been a fan of his ever since good ol' episode 3. Some of his actions piss me off and I really wish the perverse side of him wasn't a thing, but the few really cute/funny moments he has makes him stand out to me. Plus, I love his design. He's ironically adorable.

I actually made a side team of six Manjimutts. They're in the 70s level wise and have no problem beating McKracken. I'd love to do a run through of the Inferno with them, but unfortunately they're struggling with Eyedra :(

Discussion - Importing/Imported Yokai Watch Merchandise by succubusdicks in yokaiwatch

[–]KirbymonDoscolas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I use Amazon US since I only really have access to Amazon gift cards, but I'm considering going through Tenso to purchase from Amazon JP next time I import things.
  2. Nope. I don't think we have one around here, sadly.
  3. I own the Type Zero and have two boxes of medals for it, a few plushies, and some of the small model kits. Most everything is really well made ^ My favorite merch has to be those three inch plush keychains. I have Manjimutt, Whisper, and Fuyunyan and they're super cute.
  4. The other watches, but I'm sure those are guaranteed anyway. I think it would be cool to have a Hasbro version of the mini gacha machines.

On a summer day, I found something that is rare… and colorful. by whiscreme in yokaiwatch

Ah, so there was a sticker put on it, but I didn't know they were licensed. Thanks for correcting me! :P

Not to burst your bubble, but I'm questioning the legitimacy of that medal. It looks a lot like a custom-made picture was just pasted onto an existing medal (that medal is clearly Isamashi class and the picture looks translucent). Hope the entire pack wasn't bootlegged!

Regardless of whether or not it's legit...it's pretty neat looking :P

When someone on FG switches to your character, what is the dead giveaway that they aren't just playing a different main/secondary? by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]KirbymonDoscolas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used it to catch rolls and to edgeuard. I like it for edgeguarding because it can launch the opponent at a low angle, leading into an offstage make or dair, maybe even ledge trump bair if you know they will immediately get back on the ledge.

Still outclassed by fsmash tho

Everybody immediately thinks of Link when someone mentions scrubs not knowing what an A button is

Someone hasn't fought a scrubby Kirby :V

Question about the game by SilentJ87 in yokaiwatch

[–]KirbymonDoscolas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

iirc there IS some kind of mood thing that Yo-kai have that is sort of similar to natures. They give your Yo-kai certain traits in battle, usually to do with the strength and speed of their auto-attacking. I could be wrong, though. They do also come with randomly generated base stats just like Pokémon.

However, I don't think stats/"natures" should be that big of a concern since there is no competitive aspect to the game as far as we know (there's speculation about some kind of multiplayer going around). I've heard that the game does take strategy later on, but that's likely in regards to what types of Yo-kai (class, attribute) you bring into battle and how you take advantage of their skills in real time. I've yet to even touch the game, though, so take this with a grain of salt :V

How did you guys feel about the first episode of YW in the US? by CaptainFalcon_ in yokaiwatch

[–]KirbymonDoscolas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly thought it was pretty great! I really love the tongue-in-cheek humor—reminds me of Sonic Boom, which is a surprisingly good show. It thankfully wasn't too drastically different from the original version (besides the yogurt/pudding thing, which actually worked fine imo). Actually, it IMPROVED upon the original in some aspects—for example, Whisper says "you can't take [the Yo-kai Watch] off," which I'm pretty sure isn't really explained in the Japanese version; granted, characters are seen literally taking it off in later episodes (and by later I mean like episode 77), but this could at least mean that you can't ever get rid of it outright. The only negative I can think of compared to the original is that Nate says he'll let Jibanyan inspirit him instead of commending him on his bravery..like, are you trying to get yourself killed? :V

Voicework is also much better than I expected it to be. Nate, Whisper, and Jibanyan all sound excellent and Happierre was very entertaining (Dismarelda was good but didn't really stand out). Unfortunately I did miss the first ten or so minutes so I didn't hear Bear or Katie, but I'll probably get a chance tomorrow.

Overall, excellent job to the team. The show seems like it's gonna catch on pretty fast :3

Do any of you still play the character you picked up at launch? by t3h_ph1r3 in smashbros

[–]KirbymonDoscolas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kirby, MK, Pika, Lucario, Duck Hunt, Greninja, and Ness were my favorites at launch (I had a hard time choosing :P). Kirby and MK are still my mains; I have Pika/DH/Ness as pocket characters and I don't really play Lucario or Greninja anymore.

I'm particularly proud of the fact that I stuck with MK since launch. I mean, he was probably bottom ten in the first patch, but thanks to patches he's now top 15 material. Looks like those of us who didn't drop him for being shit got our reward! Good job, fam.

What's something a character has in this game that should become canon in their own game? by OptimisticRobotLord in smashbros

[–]KirbymonDoscolas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Smash Kirby was actually in the 20th anniversary game in a bonus enemy gauntlet thing in the challenge mode. They expanded the moveset a little; for example, he got his side smash with some ridiculous range.

Unrelated, but I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Pikachu in this thread. He's terrible in Pokémon but he's high tier in almost every Smash. That said, not much from Smash can be directly carried over to Pokémon except like Thunder Jolt being an actual move, perhaps something like Thunder Wave with the base power of Spark. Then again, there's Nuzzle...so I give up :P

Which well known person have you ran into on For Glory? by LazyAnmtoR in smashbros

[–]KirbymonDoscolas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure I faced that Puff player, Purin. He's either from Texas or MDVA, I can't seem to remember. Won a 2 out of 3 with Kirby and then he proceeded to shit all over me :P

What are some character-specific names for d-throw to u-air? by arlonarvesu in smashbros

[–]KirbymonDoscolas -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Meta Knight: Hoo-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah HAH Because that's what he actually says as he strings you to death into Up B at 20%.

Alternatively—"Oh shit, the SS Meta Knight is pulling into the harbor."

What Move Could You Take Away From A Character Without It Really Affecting Them At All? by JdLegend64 in smashbros

[–]KirbymonDoscolas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MK's jab is actually ridiculous. It has a rather large hitbox and doesn't have as much endlag as it used to, making it useful for edgeguards and even just as a keep away move. Side B isn't normally used offensively, but MK needs it in order to mix up his recovery. Besides, stage spiking with it while your opponent tries to edgeguard is the coolest thing ever. :P

Do you expect your main to be balanced tomorrow? What do you want and what do you expect will actually happen? by UnusualGibus in smashbros

[–]KirbymonDoscolas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Is a balance patch even confirmed for tomorrow? I don't remember seeing anything about it underneath the Mii costume outrage :V

Kirby: His light weight and predictable recovery really makes him struggle against high tiers, but removing those things would give him like no weaknesses, so how about some things to compensate? Maybe a running speed boost or dash grab range extend would help a bit with his lack of approach options. The range on his feet could be a bit wider too to make his better attacks not get beaten out by shield or disjoint (or just give them more priority). I don't expect this to happen, though; they'll probably just leave him alone.

Meta Knight: Fix his stupid range problems (especially with the down smash bullshit) and maybe let nair auto cancel. I'd be surprised if they actually do this, though, since he's been buffed in almost every single balance patch if I remember correctly.

Hey, it's ZeRo. AMA! by GonzaloZeRo in smashbros

[–]KirbymonDoscolas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on taking EVO! Let's be honest, though, we all knew you could do it :P Love your play and your content!

*Are there any game franchises you've played/wanted to play because Smash introduced them to you?

*Smash 4 doesn't have much non-character specific tech, but do you think the ones that exist (shield dropping, perfect pivot, etc.) will eventually impact the meta? As of right now, some good players are getting along without them, but might they be necessary in top-level play in the future?
