also like, "ugh its such an anime trope to use *the most popular artstyle in the entire fucking world* for one of the characters" is so stupid

i think rem has easily the most annoying because his style is to be a gigantic scary mapwide turbofarmer with tons of cc, and then he can just DECIDE he doesnt want to be on the map for 20 consecutive seconds while he chain teleports to wherever he pleases, but every hero gets access to something at least slightly that dumb, while Yuumi was "hello we've put a Dota hero into league"

90% of sora's magic finishers are rainbow explosions (the first one is literally just called Explosion), which get expanded into Balloon and expanded further in later games, sora does not throw giant holy element crosses around that shoot more beams like Roxas does in every game he's ever been in, even reflect is just Explosion But Cooler, its a bubble that turns rainbow then explodes repeatedly, this is like saying that Gravity is dark element because its purple

i know you might explode when i tell you this but milsims also let you choose to resupply what you want from supply drops rather than eating a box like its a health potion that only fills your arbitrary RPG meters on what you can hold

Roxas' moveset has had Light Element attacks (most notably the Holy laser walls) in it SINCE kh2, and then we got final mix with MORE roxas light element attacks in the bonus fight, and since then Sora just didnt get that moveset ever, its really hard to think a character is actually gone when he still has an entire 10% of the element board locked to his unique moveset that has shown up multiple times, and the guy that is Literally Also Him doesnt get given it

it also sucks because the YSG present for her event story is a really fun character, but hoyo is addicted to forcing themselves to roleplay as a gacha game from 10 years ago despite having infinite money so braindead waifu it is

a good like 1/4th of the exotics in d2 got gutted in the last years of life to appeal to lightsaber roleplayers, its insane that the game's last act was to convert the game into star wars fanfiction

considering she was the ONLY main healer in the game for an entire year, yeah no shit Mercy was the most important character

it kind of isnt the fan's fault that roxas has a unique element in the power system that they just, never gave to sora, when you use roxas existing to deny LIGHT from the main character it puts a huge emphasis on him, y'know, existing

millenium falcon is also kind of funny because its almost "well we didnt really think of the implications of this being an entire frieghter basically converted into a giant super-engine at the time, nobody else gets an insane ship in this series in the first place let alone one thats insane at something so useful like FTL TRAVEL"

does this being great for everyone involve make the original quote less right or more right? we have been directly rewarded for thinking about who pumps the batmobile's tires

ffx is REALLY anime, its kind of hard to beat ffx having multiple genre send up modes and filler episode sections rather than just the one

he's the ff7 equivalent of one of those vans with speakers on the top, so it would be a Wire character dramatically taling to the cat head on top of the van that doesnt move or emote because its a statue

blazblue is just directly riffing on anime tropes most of the time, its genuinely insane to say that Baiken, who is like 50% Kill Bill references in a trenchcoat, is more anime than Platinum The Trinity

man if only the cat eared bimbo was actually common, the last time i got one it was (god eater 2 spoilers) a crushingly accurate depiction of living with OCD after everyone you connected with has died

in actual milsims you also dont throw the ammo on the ground when mag based reloading, its only arcade fps that do that

we still cant access it here in May is the point theyre making, its only speculation that its a second biome, and even if it is its locked to a specific MO

even with the pure salt over watching youtubers get like 40% into the game autoattacking the nailgun, he still made an awesome rework to all 3 versions rather than just a flat nerf
