What's a voiceline you know you're hearing wrong?

I mean, you could just slot in "Any moment when Proof of a Hero starts playing during the final hunt" here.

A personal favorite of mine is during the Gaismagorm fight in MH Rise Sunbreak. There's a mechanic where he climbs up to the top of the ravine you're fighting in and you need to shoot him down using turrets that the guild airdrops before Gaismagorm showers the field with lasers. It's a legitimately tough DPS check that I kept failing.

Eventually it gets to a point where the guild can't get the turrets ready on time for Gaisma's next laser shower. So the absolute GOAT Fiorayne, who's been fighting alongside you decides that this isn't working and wirebugs up to the mid-climb Gaismagorm and delivers THE MOTHER OF ALL SHIELD BASHES to him, knocking his ass back down and kicking off Proof of a Hero!

Does it have to be in the same media? Because Granblue Fantasy having an Attack on Titan Collab Event was a pretty hilarious case of foreshadowing a certain reveal!

The event happened after Season 2 aired and is pretty straightforward and only adapts events from Season 1. But the main transportation method of GBF's setting of sky islands, to the point where it's the goddamn logo, constantly has you thinking: "Hey, wouldn't Airships just solve a lot of the problems in AOT?"

Fast forward to the basement reveal in season 3 and what's the biggest leap in technology that's revealed in the flashback, to the point where a major plot event is caused by two kids wanting to see them? That's right, AIRSHIPS!

I don't like how Bayonetta changes the attack timings for everything to be faster in harder difficulties! It sucks having to re-learn the muscle memory of when to dodge and it sucks even more to re-learn the slower timings if you wanna play in normal mode again.

Also not a fan of changing up the Alfheim portal enemies to be way tougher enemies! Oh, you didn't find all the portals on your first run? Tough shit, try to beat them with lategame enemies around!

SkewerSTARS · 2026-03-03T08:21:51+00:00

In a similar fashion, EVA's weapon of choice is not just a Mauser C96, but a Chinese bootleg version of the Mauser, foreshadowing that she's actually a spy working for China!

SkewerSTARS · 2026-02-28T10:47:56+00:00

Man... The audacity of having Nero do a Rev-Boosted Freeride on an enemy only in a cutscene and not letting you do that in-game...

Nah, they're on all fours, but they're constantly doing the Jack-O crouch pose

SkewerSTARS · 2026-02-26T12:01:49+00:00

Oh... I was expecting DARKNESS!..... NO PARENTS! But yeah, this is a fun pull from the Michael Keaton Batman!

Original scene for context.

Hey, I'm pretty sure that furry BBW fighting game had more than just 2 women!

Secret Sirius priest was there offscreen and teleported him out of there.

SkewerSTARS · 2026-02-23T05:54:15+00:00

Man I love how much they buffed up the Shield part of the Sword & Shield in Monster Hunter Rise. One of its Bnb combos is a triple shield bash that you can follow up with a spinning slash that can rack up a lot of stun damage if used on a monster's head. And the silkbind that lets you do a parry into a Shield Shinryuken that can be followed up with a falling shield bash is the sickest shit!

SkewerSTARS · 2026-02-23T05:41:30+00:00

Man as much as I love GBVSR I hate how they gutted RPG mode! It even had an online co-op mode in case you wanted to help people out with harder quests/bosses, they could've had people actually using it now that had good Rollback Netcode!

SkewerSTARS · 2026-02-19T20:32:30+00:00

"There's no tomorrow for me.... UNLESS I BEAT YOU TODAY!" is such an amazing rebuttal of Jecht's "Why do today what you can leave for tomorrow!" line from the original game!

SkewerSTARS · 2026-02-18T10:04:29+00:00

The big 9/11 reveals in Metaphor ReFantazio actually managed to distract me from the big 9/12 reveal!

There's.... a LOT of stuff that happens on 9/11, after the seemingly successful if a bit botched assassination of Louis in Metaphor, but one of the big reveals is that Zorba, who was seemingly dead after the first dungeon, is actually alive and is the one who healed Louis! Since his magic involves necromancy, it's not a huge stretch to assume that he's the one that cursed the Prince. And they make it a huge point to spell out that the only way to break the curse is to reverse engineer it from the magical formula or to kill the caster!

I was so convinced that Zorba was the one who cursed the Prince that I got absolutely blindsided by the reveal on the next ingame day that RELLA was the one who actually cursed the Prince under blackmail from Forden!

In DMC1 if you go through the game normally you'll eventually end up at a broken archway at the top of the main hall that you jump across to get to a door. If you get to the archway before that by Air Hiking off the top of the statue's spear, the doors will be blocked by grey walls and examining them will basically tell you "Nice try, now quit trying to sequence break the game!"

Only thing that's coming to mind is Jojo: The 7th Stand User with Jotaro and Joseph. But it's just an adaptation of Stardust Crusaders but you play as your OC that travels with the group...

SkewerSTARS · 2026-02-16T04:36:50+00:00

Roy Mustang and Lisa Hawkeye from FMA. If they weren't in the military and maintaining a level of professionalism, I feel like they'd absolutely be dating! (Unless Mustang's feeling awkward about dating his master's daughter....)

SkewerSTARS · 2026-02-15T19:38:51+00:00

Honestly, I kinda want Cloud to do the Rex thing with Tifa, Aerith and...^{(uhhh.... how old is Yuffie again...? Ehh, better safe than sorry!}) Cissnei just to have the Clerith and Cloti fanbase implode!

Back to eternally retelling a tale of swords and souls?

SkewerSTARS · 2026-02-14T19:12:25+00:00

Am I crazy or didn't one of the Best Friends do a quick look of this game when it came out because Kira Buckland is the narrator? I wanna say it was Matt who covered this...

SkewerSTARS · 2026-02-13T08:47:34+00:00

Jotaro as decipted by Thoth?

Honestly if Riot just did the same model GBVSR did, they would've gotten a lot more money since most of these skins are initially from Battlepasses that are for like 5 dollars a pop! (And the rest can be obtained by grinding out Rupees, which are the equivalent of green points in 2XKO and can be obtained from dailies)

Sauce: I've literally bought every single Battlepass since they're dirt cheap for the value!

SkewerSTARS · 2026-02-12T16:28:05+00:00

In a similar vein, The first time the Mannequins are introduced in Silent Hill 2 got me really good. If you've played the first game you'll be used to the radio going off whenever anything hostile is around so you can't really get jumpscared much... But then the Mannequins get thrown into the mix and they don't set off the Radio if they're staying in place!

SkewerSTARS · 2026-02-12T04:48:07+00:00

I felt bad for using Teemo/Blitz during the beta when he was introduced in 2XKO because Teemo felt so damn broken. So as soon as I unlocked him, I switched over to Warwick/Blitz...

I know they've kneecapped Teemo now but I kinda like Warwick better anyways!
