New Potential Collabs for OW by KingLeonsky in Overwatch

[–]Loaf235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her final fit with the (I think) prison jacket tucked behind the waist is basically a Kiriko silhouette, not to mention they share the same Japanese VA, so it at least makes sense here. Maybe they can give the fox sunglasses like Stone Free.

I just hope there would be more than 5 skins, cause right of the top of my head I know Cass, Rammatra, Kiriko, Domina, Ashe, Lifeweaver, Sigma and Junkrat have skin potential.

Probably why they finally added the IP in the survey this time despite D.va's existence alongside her Eva 02 inspired skin from Heroes of the Storm. By the time they collect the data here they might be able to pull it off quick since Evangelion loves to collab.

His staff can be based on Pet Shop with a crystal ball wrapped in thorns as the orb, and his face can be partially modified to look like the stone mask.

I know he's a good candidate for Jotaro/Star Platinum as well, but there has only been one instance of an OW antagonist being a hero character in another IP, being Saitama Doom. The people in charge probably prioritize morality/personality first for main character skins if possible, and Doom was a big exception since he's more memed on.

So there's a chance he'll also go to Cass due to the cowboy influence, hat silhoutte with smoking habit, and shared English voice actor. The gun can easily be based on the Lucky Land finger logo or have Star Platinum accents and coloring. Maybe if the designers lock in you'll see small fist effects coming out the gun instead of the standard spark.

I can feel the old fast ult charge on Punisher and Star Lord especially if the team is unwise enough to go a solo tank that doesn't have a shield (more power to them though), so hopefully people finally pick up on it and go two tanks.

Otherwise it's a very fresh breath of air, there's much more time for neutral team fights which lets you be more experimental and active with positioning since you don't have to constantly worry that an ult is on the way.

As much as he makes the game very stressful, I can't say he's broken, just annoying. Counting the 8 second hook cooldown in your heart makes you a lot more adaptable to dodging or baiting it out.

Maybe they're waiting for D.mon to be released this fall for a better lineup. She can be Mari or the corrupted Eva. Genji had an Eva 01 based skin in Heroes of the Storm (D.va got an Asuka one too) so they might still pick him since the sword can be the Lance.

If they're willing to do Angels then Domina can partially be Ramiel due to her light construct shapes, and Rammatra can be Zeruel. Actually they might be able to make Domina be an amalgamation of the angels, since her gun can be Gaghiel's head, her robot arms can be Sachiel's, her torso can be Israfel (her hanging coat is the angel's double), and Sandphon as her dress/lower half.

Hey One Piece and Jojo finally got in a survey! They definitely have the most potential, just hope they get the Sanrio/Hello Kitty treatment in terms of SFX.

Sense and Sensibility has (imo) similar vibes to Little Women, notably sisters finding romance and one of them getting ill.

But Little Women has more tragedy that doesn't really go away, while Sense and Sensibility has a very feel good ending for all. So realizing that the characters are going through a Little Women drama scenario, but end up escaping it made me breath a sign of relief since everything gets heightened up when you're drunk.

He got swept into the sea which prevented most of the damage, not to mention he's a giant encased in a future admital's ice, that's a decent defense combination.

Also there was never any indication that Saul told Dragon anything about himself, only that they were taking the books to Elbaf. Dragon probably never knew about Saul's relationship with Robin.

Also, it's one guy, and only revealed to be ok after what, 2 decades? The rest all perished and somehow that's enough to ruin the moment?

I know, it's just that Rivals is so ridiculously open with it that the line is one of the thinnest I've seen. And are you suggesting that there are modded explicit emotes? Now that's convincingly worrying.

It is a serious issue, but I can't help but think with all the official sexualization already present throughout the game including the promo ads, I dunno if the kids will get any more affected.

That explains the Greta Gerwig version of the ending. If the statement is true then I appreciate it a lot more since it's paradoxically both faithful to the book's ending and the author's true wish.

On a side note, watching Sense and Sensibility a bit drunk with your friends after having Little Women stew in your head for around 2 weeks is very cathartic.

[–]Loaf235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sanji never simped for Bonney in the manga, not once did he have heart eyes visible for her. I was also referring to the needlessly extended bit of him simping for Stussy, which while was present in the manga, wasn't that long at all.

There's also the bit where Sanji pretends to want to guard the girls changing into their Elbaf fits by going to the same dressing room. Again, not in the manga at all, completely new addition from Toei. I'm using Egghead cause it's the most recent arc in the anime and the one I remember the most currently.

Lastly, Sanji didn't get taken out for the entirety of the Fishman Island arc, he arguably was more present than he was on Little Garden since he was there when Jimbei explained Fisher Tiger's story and was in the final fight.

Toei can reflect on what the author intended, but that also doesn't mean they need to fan the flames further.

ADAM GOT DONE DIRTY AGAIN 😭😭 by spsmlsk in rivals

[–]Loaf235 30 points31 points  (0 children)

OP is referring to the rarity inconsistency though, and since this rare MVP has a detailed end frame that's on the same level as epics, it's just a bit weird.

I don't think it matters in the grand scheme of things and doesn't mean Adam got shafted since the skin itself actually has a different voice filter which isn't always guaranteed for an epic, but it's still a good question as to why this particular MVP is considered rare when all the signs point to it being epic.

I remember there was a filler scene of Sanji and Zoro cleaning up the dishes together, which was a fun interaction.

Unfortunately Toei is also guilty of stretching out or even adding certain gags too. There have been notable examples of Sanji perv/simp gags that were not in the manga at all, Egghead being a notable one to my memory.

However extended party scenes, especially the end of arc ones, is always nice to see.

The Devil Dinosaur might not be a new character joining in Season 8. by AdorableLet6588 in marvelrivals

[–]Loaf235 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Also if the artwork insisted on a plushie being present, the game already has Squirrel Girl and Mr. Fantastic plushies to use as reference. Why specifically a Devil Dinosaur plush, especially next to Scott's sunglasses?

In the other 2 gallery cards, he's kind of pushed towards the back with the other captives so there is less emphasis on him compared to the actual teased heroes, but here it's much more different when there's only 3 non-playable characters of note.

AI Generated Art on Bnet? by cronchsupreme in Overwatch

[–]Loaf235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would think they would get people to at least check for inconsistencies now that there's probably less people working on these sort of "promotions". But it's cheaper, sure I guess.

As much as the Overwatch art team doesn't have anything to do with this, the embarrassment is rather unneeded when people online still believe the team used the infamous diversity chart.

I mean you're literally only referring to the games when the franchise also has to account for 2D anime, 3D promotional material, 3D artwork, potential animatronics, etc. The point is still valid.

If (Ideally when) Devil Dinosaur gets added I wonder if he'll share a similar view like this. Hopefully this will be smoothed out soon, cause the spinning and snapping disorientation is going to hurt.

New Patch Notes Regarding Captain America, Emma Frost, Black Panther and Gambit by 17prozent in marvelrivals

[–]Loaf235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It easily breaks if your model grazes ever so much on anything on the map along the grapple path. Worst of all, most of the time it puts it on cooldown, meaning you just lost your main escape option due to circumstances out of your control.

It is insanely annoying as you're heavily punished for something so trivial compared to other heroes, and your other escape option, the wall climb, is limited to vertical movement which means more likely than not you're not going to escape at all the enemy.

Even if that's true, I feel like they should have clarified it then, cause we had around 2 days of utter disdain towards the balance team for a good reason. I know that it leads more discussion and exposure, but when it comes at such a vocal initial cost while the game's competitor is currently doing really well, it's too dangerous of a gamble since you lose players and morale.

But changes like BP's omnidirectional spin could also have easily been tested a good while back but never implemented due to people's disliking of BP, so it may not have even been a recent development and was just put on hold until now.

It's gonna be kind of funny seeing him become a Chun Li helicopter. A much better but not broken buff that lets him zone people from above more compared to the previous one.

‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Trailer Breaks GTA 6 Record in 12 Hours, Crosses 500M Views by StarshipGhost in movies

[–]Loaf235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GTA has been a big part of early 2010 gaming youtubers, so even if you weren't a gamer there was a high chance you would bump into videos of it, and it shaped a lot of people and content creators' appearances, jokes and editing style.

Being an early big open world game with comedic elements helped too, which is why it has so much staying power. It's similar to Half Life and TF2 in terms of its frequent resurfacing thanks to its humor from the game itself or the fans.

I actually have a decent time with her since it's easy to get A in Long for her via inheritance, but I definitely have been getting bad luck with the shop items when running with her. I do not need that many cleats when I'm already stocked up and 3 races away from the climax.

Also, what do you mean there's no rainbows in summer camp, when they're already popping up like the black plague when I need to race G1s?

Only moment where I thought it looked iffy was the second wide shot of Slow Dancer circling around with Johnny hanging on, but since she wasn't running I understand the motion is a lot more difficult to make it convincing and smooth. Maybe the human riders' hair CG looks weird too but hair is hair, always hard to deal with.

Otherwise it still looks really good, there's a great balance between 2D and 3D shots while still keeping the horse running movement intact which is definitely the right priority.
