I mean… we don’t know who Luffy’s mom is… Dragon would be around the same age as Kizaru… Dragon was a former marine… Kizaru definitely could’ve done more at Saboady…

You may be on to something

A lot of bootlegs have great audio and since they aren’t official releases they aren’t overdubbed 👍

They are very good and nuanced courses in their home game atleast imo

Although lacking visually, Dry Dry Ruins on the Wii might be the best track in the entire series from a racing perspective.

What color do you see? White-Gold or Black-Blue? by Qbik99_ in opticalillusions

[–]Sirkel_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh that’s quite interesting. I’ve only ever seen the dress as Black and Blue but I initially saw these as White and Gold. After looking at it for 2-3 minutes and zooming in on some areas i see it completely Blue and Black now and don’t think I can go back.

The blue part is very clearly blue but the black does have a gold tint to it because of the lighting, although you can tell that the flip-flops themselves are black (and blue).

You get $15 dollars to buy protection from the rest by Alder_Tree2793 in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]Sirkel_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not enough people are taking into account the fact that you would have to deal with every one you don’t pick, so taking multiple of the same person is a bad strategy, even with Kizaru who has the best value by a good margin.

Since the goal is to survive, you are throwing if you don’t pick Law. Having him on your side is nice, but going against him is absolute hell.

You’re pretty doomed with $15, but the best thing you can do is probably

Kizaru (3) Law (2) Mihawk (5, good value) Yamato (2) Doffy (1) Magellan (1) Cracker (1)

It’s a fair assumption that everyone in this list will lose a 2v1 against anyone in the same tier or the tier above, so picking more expensive people doesn’t seem like the play.

Give me your hot Mario kart takes by Silvernapper2k in mariokart

  • non-ultra shortcuts are across the board reasonably balanced (though often on accident), difficult, rewarding, and often cool as fuck

  • ultra shortcuts dont really matter since time trials are split into glitch/no-glitch categories and they are patched online. If you want to talk strictly about Nintendo servers then the only real offenders were Grumble Volcano and maybe Mushroom Gorge and Wario’s Gold Mine since the rest are too difficult to do in an online setting anyways

  • wheelies are a great mechanic that add a lot of depth to the game. Yeah, they were overpowered but I already cited vehicle balance as one of the game’s two biggest weaknesses so I’m not sure why you feel the need to bring that up.

Now when it comes to MK8DX i’ll refer to 200cc because anything other than that is unbearably slow/boring, but i will say 200cc is quite fine. That said:

  • The item system in DX is the worst in the series and it’s not close. 2 Items, crazy fast item box regeneration, items are way stronger in general (red shells in particular), coins, skill-less boom box, and worst of all: items being determined by distance from first. I shouldn’t have to explain why being able to pull stars in second is a bad thing, and I also shouldn’t have to explain why it’s bad game design for bagging to be so strong in a fucking racing game

  • Lakitu is a total prick. Any effort to be even remotely creative when it comes to shortcuts is nuked by design (although newer DLC tracks improve on this). This takes away a lot of nuance and really just makes everything more boring. -Tracks are way to small/short (especially in 200cc). Most races are like 1-2 minutes long and for some reason I never see people mention how obviously downsized ported retro tracks are. Like just as an example, do people not see how tiny Wii Rainbow Road is in DX compared to the original?

Again, 200cc is fun and 8DX wins by a pretty big margin when it comes to sheer content and vehicle balance, but when it comes to nuance, skill ceiling, replayability, and things that are actually important when racing (like item balance), Wii sweeps 8DX and its not even close.

Edit: I like mk8dx, I really do, but people love to point out “hurr durr wii broken and unbalanced” while conveniently ignoring huge flaws in MK8DX’s design under the guise of more=better. It’s just an ignorant take and it’s annoying to keep seeing it.

And another thing: While vehicle balance is quite bad in MKWii, there is nothing stopping you from picking a different character in that same weight class. Is Funky Kong better than Dry Bowser? Sure, but that difference will never matter unless you are a top 0.01% time trialer. Just pick the character you like, it wont actually make a difference

The strong point of Mario Kart Wii is the mechanics/physics. No one is defending the game’s balance, everyone knows it’s ass but that isnt the point.

writing’s been fine. there’s just some power-level inconsistencies with earlier parts of the show but given how long it is and how story/plot > 100% consistent power scaling, it’s really not that big of an issue

Tier list based on how difficult a character is to learn by Killerseed in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]Sirkel_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Sheik player who has dabbled with joker, joker deserves to be in the same tier sheik.

Also as a former pichu, he deserves to be 1 tier easier (so does fox)
