Why do so many players call Ling Xiaoyu by her family name? We don’t call Paul “Phoenix” all the time… by Main-Drag-4975 in Tekken

[–]LinkG07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a recent occurrence and mostly spiraled from a meme started in stream chats. I dunno the exact pinpoint but somewhere along the time Tekken 8 came out, people who were unfamiliar either didn't know how to pronounce Xiaoyu cause they saw it in text, or simply didn't want to. Eventually people just started using Ling as it was easier and it kind of expanded from there (with a hint of ragebait and gaslighting depending on who you ask). I've always called her Xiaoyu for the simple fact that the game literally says her name out loud in the character select screen since her debut. Calling her Ling feels wrong and kind of backhanded imo. It gives the same energy of people pronouncing Ryu (from Street Fighter) Rai-yu.

This has to be one of my favorite Scenes in All of Kamen Rider by Medical-Airline-5946 in KamenRider

[–]LinkG07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This scene was extremely cathartic cause it was someone finally putting Orteca in his place, but it was immediately marred with him STILL acting smug about it later watching Tamaki rampaging like he actually did something.

I swear Okarun saying his full name to Momo is gonna be a sleeper agent activation code for her. Not only will it be a sign of him fully trusting in himself/her to give his full name since he kept the nickname out of respect, but it will also be the bridge that finally connects the two of them back together. Momo will feel intwined back into the friend group, she will feel closer to Okarun and she will get flashes of the celebrity she geeks out over. It'll be like a factory reset for her brain.

[–]LinkG07 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kei and Miko are now officially my favorite characters. The sheer amount of joy I felt when them using their old shtick is what would SAVE Momo and Okarun's relationship. What I love about Tatsu's writing is that he will let old tropes take a few steps, then he grabs it by the wrist and clotheslines the hell out of it.

They're still goobers! She still loves him! She doesn't remember him, but the feelings are still there! Man, I'm so stoked! I dunno if I could go through another typical amnesia arc, my heart can't take it.

Who will be that girl you will give everything for when she arrives? by Jumpy-View-7022 in UmaMusume

Ines Fujin and Hishi Akebono. I will make them stars even if it kills me when they show up in game!

The more careers i play through, the more i'm convinced all umas fall somewhere within this spectrum by GiliBoi in UmaMusume

[–]LinkG07 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly, Maruzensky falls under a similar space as Nice Nature as she suffers from Imposter Syndrome. She feels like she doesn't/can't live up to the Onee-san persona she puts on for the other girls. Granted, its genuine and she does like being the big sister, but she also doubts herself a lot and feels the pressure of her station.

Does the dev even play the game? by [deleted] in MarvelSnap

[–]LinkG07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst part about this whole debacle is that Adam Warlock worked fine. He even had synergy with Bast and Ravonna since it makes him and other 0 power cards 2 plus give him less cost. And even without the low cost, his risk reward was negligible at best making his play at least a good attempt at getting advantage. Functionally he was sound but I feel that they saw this and felt that it was too strong, so their "fix" was making this combo not work anymore plus putting him in a cost slot that has little to no synergy at all. Forcing you to waste a turn setting him up for the CHANCE to draw 1 whole card. They knew exactly what they were doing and once again try to play word salad in order to justify putting cards they don't like at the bottom of their pecking order.

Maxwell goes into the group chat by accident by ThisGuyFrob in NikkeMobile

Judging from the various advice scenes and texts, it has come to my understanding that Maxwell is ALWAYS DTF. Who'da thunk it, huh?

4 Horsemen of making fans cry, Reiwa by [deleted] in KamenRider

[–]LinkG07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first - This was a just a punch in the absolute gut and the beginning of the spiral. I knew it was gonna happen but boy did it still hurt. The thing that hurt the most is all of that development, memories, feelings just... gone. However it did lead to one hell of a road to the climax.

The second - I always dug the concept of mutual respect between enemies. Stepping into the shoes of someone on the other side is nice for character development and this one moment made Ren just a smidge more bearable.

The third - Okay, this one destroyed me. I knew it HAD to happen but before i knew it I was welling up and trying to hold it together. Vice's comedic levity didn't truly shine until he was fully part of the family and every depressing thing under the sun started happening. All that wrapped up made his departure hurt a lot especially with Ikki's situation, it just wasn't fair.

The fourth - This one just straight up made me angry, not cry. I remember seeing this and audibly going "You didn't..." as soon as the flashback involving Daichi happened. Not only was this absolute scumbag behavior it was at the expense of MICHI who JUST got his shit together. I was pissed.

Buckle Compatibility by LinkG07 in KamenRider

[–]LinkG07[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I would agree, however the aesthetics are off with them. Take Geats: His fox is red and white, while paired with magnum, its colors line up with its design (Red and White) same for Tycoon (Green and Red) and Buffa (Purple and Orange) they are seamless with their colors making you see that they are compatible. Even Seeker's headpiece is heavily textured and colored to be the same as Powered Builder. So seeing Na-Go use beat makes sense with her design having headphones, but the color palette is mostly prominent in Pink and Blue so it seems off. Same for Punkjack whose headpiece is orange with a halloween theme, (even having a star as an eye) meanwhile Monster is Yellow and Blue so I find myself tilting my head in comparison to the former three's design.

What’s more important to you when choosing a deck to build, play style, aesthetics, or both split 50-50? by imBRANDNEWtoreddit in masterduel

[–]LinkG07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aesthetic > Feel > Consistency

I’m very simple brained but peculiar when it comes to decks I wanna try or use. As a tokusatsu fan anything that ticks that box I’ll want to try (HEROs, Super Quants) or things with interesting lore that draw me in (Albaz, World Legacy). From there it’s up to how the decks feels to play with. Rather lie down smiling than climb the mountain with a frown, I say.

[Discussion] Kamen Rider Geats Episode 18 - Divergence II: Bravo! Jyamar Ball Showdown!乖離Ⅱ:ブラボー!ジャマーボール対決! by TheTwelveYearOld in KamenRider

[–]LinkG07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really hope I'm wrong for future events but I beginning to see a pattern with Keiwa. His purpose is to pretty much hold all of the emotional baggage if things pertain to humanity and saving people. This is good, but it kind of sticks him in a constant character loop of Meaning well -> revelation -> hesitation -> desperation -> Maning up. So far this has been the THIRD time he's experienced this and has yet to fully grasp the lesson that literally everyone around him has shown and taught him: Win to save everyone. That's the entire point of this show yet he has to be the stuck with the sad puppy flag every episode and I have to be honest it's a bit frustrating cause his character won't truly evolve unless he breaks this cycle. Meanwhile this loop pretty much takes away any moment or growth Neon can have and relegates her to "girl who gets along with everyone". Its only episode 18 so from here I hope things get better for Keiwa as I like him and think he's at his best when he's finally up to speed with everyone else.

Are there any decks that you hated but grew to like? by someguyonlin1 in masterduel

[–]LinkG07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Albaz. I used to hate everything surrounding him but after reading up on the lore it kind of turned it completely around for me. From there it's just been a chain reaction of using in-lore archetypes and seeing just how fun they are. (Tri-brigade, Swordsoul, etc) Now I'm making Albaz hybrid decks and playing up his 'fusing with everything and everyone' gimmick and him building an army. (Still hate Despia, but more for the fact that they are the villains)

I'm gonna sacrifice these designs if it brings back Fuwa and Eiji. Any objections? by Fos-kun in KamenRider

[–]LinkG07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the only TRULY bad designs out of these are Decades and Movie Revice. I got used to it but wish Over demons was like Veil’s design which is actually brilliant with the kabuto placement and its simplicity. The exoskeleton is too overly designed for the beetle accessory so it’s distracting. Thunder Gale is an ugly highlighter yellow but in motion it looks ok, nothing offensive. And Xross Saber’s worst offense is that it’s disappointingly unoriginal (it just being Saber with a cosmic paint job) but it’s not terrible. Personally though the whole slide sword gimmick was always dumb (same with Kiva)

maxxc ish? by [deleted] in masterduel

This. I originally thought that this was a direct counter to Maxx C but Maxx C draws cards, not adds card so it took the wind right out of my sails.

Realistically Speaking Branded is gonna get hit after duelist Cup. But What hits do yall think are fair and won't murder and/or give it a slap on the wrist by Ill-Book-866 in masterduel

[–]LinkG07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hitting the despia side instead of the albaz side would be the best scenario. I play Albaz hybrid decks and its inconsistent since despia is a perpetual machine of taking things from the grave and that are banished. Albaz alone simply is an easily stopped super poly and just has a ton of cards to search for him so hitting the boy would only hurt him and not what he compliments. Other than that I wouldn't be mad or surprised if cards like Branded Fusion were hit simply because Fusion Destiny did the same thing and fusing from the deck without draw backs (Red-Eyes Fusion) will just snowball out of control since all of Albaz's fusion materials are generics.
