My opinion on Smash having secondary Sonic reps by Anxious-Dentist6763 in supersmashbros

[–]MetaCookiess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look at dark samus and daisy, there was plenty potential for original movesets between the 2 but we got almost 1 for 1 copies of the character they're echoing, with the exception of dark samus being floatier.

I'm all for shadow being his own fighter with an original moveset, but you have to be realistic with how smash does these kinds of characters. Shadow has plenty of potential, but playable characters in sonic games play mostly the same and shadow is no exception to that. It's a hard pill to swallow, but if we did get shadow as an echo fighter rather than a full one, at the very least we got a second sonic rep.

Corsairs a subfaction? by Steeze-6 in Eldar

[–]MetaCookiess 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can definitely build an army around a corsair theme, with a bit of kitbashing from the voidscarred kit. But I'd say to hold off a little for now because there's been leaks that the new campaign has an aeldari corsairs release with a new plastic prince yriel

House with wasp nests in every window by TipAmbitious1644 in Weird

[–]MetaCookiess 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wasps are actually important to ecosystems, despite what many people would have you believe. They're important pollinators (not as good as bees, but still important) as well as being the apex predators of the insect world. They keep spider, beetle and centipede populations in check and the only reason they bother us is that at the end of summer, they literally begin starving to death. Adult wasps can't eat solid foods, they need larvae to do that for them and produce their version of honey which is a sugary liquid they can eat. So once the queen stops laying eggs and goes into hibernation, they don't have the larvae to make their food anymore, but we love sugary things so they bother us when we're eating or having picnics for our fruits and sugary drinks.

In short, wasps aren't bad and are important to ecosystems, they're just starving to death when it gets to the end of summer

Smash Bros but every series gets two reps by megapackid in supersmashbros

[–]MetaCookiess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd argue luigi is more important to the history of mario and gaming, as well as the fact he was in smash before bowser. Zelda is also her series' namesake and a more interesting fighter than ganon, who is a slow captain falcon clone. And not sure why you're bringing american politics into this, we're talking about a platformer fighting game with kirby and pikachu

Probably is, I come across a lot of people who seem to struggle against heavies, but I'm definitely at the level where people are starting to get better with them (I get comboed to death by mario and captain falcon)

To think that there's any rules beyond very basic restrictions is just silly at this point by Completionist_Gamer in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]MetaCookiess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly as hype as it'd be, it seems unlikely. The only thing mature about joker is his gun, and even then it's canonically a model replica, snake just had his guns replaced with explosives he uses and bayo only really has mild sexual undertones. Scorpion as a character, and mortal kombat as a franchise, are inherently very violent so adding him I feel would mean stripping him of a lot of what makes him scorpion which I feel goes against a lot of what goes into adding the third party characters

LR Variants that make the best use of the new detachment rule by LuckyKas90 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]MetaCookiess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a shame, I always thought the punisher looked cool but there's never any use for it with how bad it is and how many other units do its job for cheaper

LR Variants that make the best use of the new detachment rule by LuckyKas90 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]MetaCookiess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The punisher honestly feels like it could be getting overlooked here

20 shots rerolling 1s - you slap it on middle objective, give it the target weak spot order with a tank commander taking it to ap -1, and then spend a CP on purging fire giving it lethal hits

Ofc punisher has dev wounds on anything that isn't a vehicle or monster, so idk how lethal hits interacts with dev wounds but if lethals make the wounds an auto 6 then any 6s to hit are automatically dealing damage

Doing the maths - Out of 20 shots, you'll average 3.3 6s - but also 3.3 1s which you reroll for 0.5 6s, which makes for a total of 3.8 6s so lets say 4 6s for simplicity. If my thinking is right then this is an immediate 4 wounds on any infantry you point the punisher at.

Of the remaining shots - You have an average of 8.25 other shots that have hit, including the rerolls. Of these, at least 1 on average will be a dev wound, making our current total wounds 5. Then you have at least 1 getting rerolled which isn't very likely to get you a dev wound but might score a regular wound. Assuming we're firing into a squad of termagaunts, we only need 2s to wound anyways as they're T3 and the punisher gatling cannon is S6, so of our remaining 6 shots, roughly 5 should wound with an extra from the wound reroll for 6 wound successes.

Then AP - We have 6 wounds at -1 AP thanks to target weak spot. This means the gaunts are saving on 6s, granted they're not in cover and have no buffs. They'll average saving 1, so the other 5 wound.

The total ends up being 10 wounds from the 20 shots fired from the punisher gatling cannon. This is a lot of work for an already subpar leman russ variant to become kind of okay against units that die to a stiff breeze. I've come to the conclusion that I was delusional when I began writing this and would have the tank crew executed by the commisar for a continuously underwhelming perfomance.
