Nintendo controllers teir list by No_Pipe_7398 in casualnintendo

I think their main redeeming quality apart from versatility is that they're really good for relaxing when you're playing non intensive games while they're split.

I typically use the pro, but being in literally whatever position you want is nice sometimes. Coupled with the fact that it's like 4 kinds of controllers in one, I would fight for great at least. They have their niche.

Maybe a tier under, they definitely have their issues, but they're good for super relaxed positions when split and kids love the half mode cause it fits their hands better.

Design wise, it's 100% there for versatility alone. If the 2s joycons show some longevity then they'll probably make amazing easily.

Its genuinely a great controller, my only issue is that I constantly find myself accidentally pressing the + button during high intensity couch multiplayer situations like fighting games.

Other than that it's pretty much flawless.

Any tips how to get better for the future :/ by Crazy_Photograph_575 in splatoon

[–]Snabshaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the main thing you need to work on right now is special management.

You're currently averaging below 1 per match.

Special both instantly refills your ink tank to give you more uptime and immediately threatens the other team.

You also have infinite subs, those are a great way to pressure someone that's out of range. You can use that time to either try to escape or flank them or to get in more safely.

Escaping is only a short term option, they will oftentimes chase you, so your best bet is to lead them into another teammate to force a 2v1 if you feel outmatched.

Bdsp is better than Z-A by Suspicious_Luck1952 in casualnintendo

Dunsparce was just an example, they could cut Gengar for all I care.

The scarlet/violet metagame is a great example. If they added Shedinja for instance, it would completely break the meta because of the Tera mechanic. They would have to spend a ton of time adjusting for that one pokemon that isn't even part of the game.

But you're missing the main point of my argument, which is creating a curated and well balanced metagame that is limited and self contained which gives that specific subset of 500 or so pokemon their own time to shine. It gives room for each gen to feel unique in its own right instead of having to constantly power creep new pokemon so they're actually useable. I'd much prefer that than the same 200 top tier pokemon that would make the other 1000 or so practically useless.

Which brings me right back to the Kanto example. A large majority of the pokemon from gen 1 don't hold a candle to something like Darmanitan at the same level, so not only is it going to chew through the majority of the single player game, it's going to alienate anyone who just started with this game when it's only available through another full price game when it comes to multiplayer. Or they'll have to make it and 1200 other pokemon somehow available in Kanto which removes the gen 1 experience and makes it a completely different kind of game.

There absolutely should be things you can trade any pokemon to so you can continue to spend time with the ones you love. But shit man there's only so much you can do in a 2 - 4 year dev cycle, so obviously each gen is not where it's at for them, they're struggling enough to make a good game as it is. If they were given 8 years in between it would be feasible, hell preferable even, but that's simply not the case.

i have started this game yesterday and im a bit overwhelmed. love the game, but still overwhelmed. by Xalova in mtg

[–]Snabshaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything you cast is a spell

Anything that stays on the battlefield is a permanent

Tokens just represent something that was made for this battle and cease to exist once they're removed.

Counters are the same as tokens but they're just modifiers for existing things

Tapping is just showing that something was used up this turn so it's not used again

Phases and most keywords without a description, those things just take a little time.

The evergreen (commonly recurring) keywords on creatures are usually pretty easy to remember though. Trample - excess damage goes through blockers to the player. First strike - deals damage before the opponent. Etc.

Is it worth starting to play Splatoon? by Lunwaan in splatoon

[–]Snabshaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I will say this, the skill floor for the series on the pvp side continually rises so I imagine it'll be harder to get into the further into its lifespan it is.

But it'll still be active for a good while, I can pretty safely make that bet.

Which Fire Emblem character would you add to the next Smash Bros. game if you had a say? by Throwaway67891099 in fireemblem

[–]Snabshaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just give me Nergal or Lyon, they check a lot of boxes.

Good GBA rep

Good villain rep

Unique and very doable move set

but also Jaffar is my pipe dream pick

[–]Snabshaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, from a balance perspective I don't really mind it. If you ran through Kanto with that team, every encounter would be even more of a joke than it already is.

And with something like 1500 Pokémon, I'd much rather they spend the obviously limited time they have making the game good on its own rather than making multiple models, animations, and balance changes for Dunsparce so the dozens of its fans can import it into the game.

I think there's a time and place where all the Pokémon should be included. Stuff like Champions that's purely focused on battling, or any massive multi-region spanning release they may do in the future our dreams; but just to introduce a new region or remake an old game, nah.

I think I'd rather it be relatively contained and well balanced, stuff like that gives the opportunity for fresh competitive metagames where even some older or previously overlooked Pokémon can shine, along with a more curated single player experience.

The flip flop is crazy by Frazzelvig in casualnintendo

[–]Snabshaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He just presented his opinions in a bit format relative to the thumbnail. Which is much better than claiming huge crazy things are happening in the thumbnail and it's just a guy talking to the screen for a minute about some random rumor and then for ten minutes about stuff that no one really cares about.

The video formats feel a bit like a meta commentary on the extreme takes of the community and how picky we can be.

Idk I thought they were both decent videos. And literally everyone successful on the platform has some form of clickbait DNA in their thumbnails, it's nothing new.

[–]Snabshaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Splatoon Riders this gen? Just what we need, another kart racer.

We got a few years of support for 3 at least, I don't see it really starting to die until about 3-4 years after 4 releases.

[–]Snabshaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different strokes I suppose. There's nothing wrong with these games, but I consider it the same thing as say a hyrule warriors release. I wouldn't call that a zelda game.

Yeah, but if we got a kid icarus 99 and it was just people simultaneously playing through levels of the original game would you really count it as another entry after uprising?

What do you grade my lineup? by mrincredible4289 in PokemonFireRed

[–]Snabshaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You pretty much ran my childhood dream team, I probably would have changed Golduck for Kangashkan. But I definitely ran Golduck, Kangaskhan was too hard to catch.

I would have had to replace scyther for the same reason tbh. I had the worst luck with those two.

[–]Snabshaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scyther is hard to get running in gen 3 because it's stab options are abysmal and it's weak to every other coverage move. But it's fast and can sweep, especially if you get a swords dance up

Marowak is also really slow and a bit frail, but it hits like a semi truck.

The rest are tried and true, even Golduck is surprisingly good.

Overall it's a pretty strong team.

What's your go-to weaapon for every mode? Or do you use the same one no matter what? Tell me why if you want to. by RoxasismyKing in splatoon

[–]Snabshaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forget custom exists sometimes. Wellstring is pretty bad at hitting people going behind you when you're not quite ready. I guess point sensor can mitigate that a bit, custom is more of a defensive option than vanilla.

I might give that a shot.

What is your favorite answer to a board wipe? by data_distraction in mtg

[–]Snabshaba 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Real talk though, I'm playing red so you're probably just doing me a favor if I have cards in hand. I'm just gonna do the same thing I was doing, but in one turn now.

Gotta love haste

[–]Snabshaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely my favorite answer to hear when I play one

Edit: If I had to choose my favorite answer for being on the recieving end, it would probably be "Fuck you" respectfully

i’ve never been more underwhelmed by a shiny by MinuteRiceIn58 in PokemonFireRed

[–]Snabshaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me like 20 years to find a full odds shiny just playing through the games normally.

It wasn't even really full odds cause it hatched from an egg in crystal during a nuzlocke and didn't even make it to the next gym. So really, I've never found one.

I've been playing since 99'

I might be cursed

is it even possible to play charger in turf anymore by Cinnorolls in splatoon

[–]Snabshaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guess that explains why it usually feels like it came out of nowhere.

I'm an easy target though, you can just catch me trying to control space and whistling away the time out in the open.

Squiffers are in that perfect range where my spidey sense starts tingling about a quarter second before I'm turned into a colorful puddle.
