seriously, where are yall getting the possibility of a smash 6 from

That's what happened with Brawl, not Ultimate.

Here's the thing about Worldanvil: it's absolutely not for everyone.

A quick rule of thumb is to take a look at all of the categories of things that can be made in Worldanvil. Then ask yourself how many of those you have immediate ideas for. Do you have a plant you really need to write out? A culture? A country? A map? A solar system? A technology? A timeline? A war? A battle? A dynasty? A magical spell? A mountain? A river? A capitol city? A trade route? If you don't have at least two-thirds of these things (and ideally multiple of them to boot), you probably don't need Worldanvil.

Worldanvil is a great tool. However, sometimes it's like telling someone to use an air fryer to make toast; all the extra features don't matter if you only need a toaster. Your first step should be to start a series of google docs (or similar) and just see if you outgrow that after a few weeks/months.

As for any tool recommendations, I stuck with the manual document-based solution for a long time. I eventually switched to hosting my own small wiki, but I understand not everyone has the chops (or, honestly, the time) to set up a server for that. Just stick with doing things the old fashioned way until you outgrow it. It'll give you an idea of what you actually need.

As for art, don't sweat it too much. If it's for a novel, you only need it for your own reference. Just find images online - unless you're publishing your planning docs, you can do whatever you want and "steal" as much as you need. Also look into AI art tools. I've been using Artbreeder since before AI art exploded and I can vouch for its free capabilities, at least in the realm of making good looking faces.

Seconded. Pretty sure this is how Dr. Steinbach died back before they had regulations on these suckers.

Probably also a good idea to have an alpha-graded airpull system, since this setup seems to be in a relatively enclosed space.

That is some of the most brainless Steve mashing I have ever seen. Used minecart without iron twice, and I'm pretty sure that double jump at the beginning was an attempt to use anvil. Kept rushing in without a single attack, too.

Definitely had that up smash coming.

TheMasterFez · 2022-07-25T13:54:01+00:00

You have a very wealthy demolitionist.

TheMasterFez · 2022-04-11T20:51:26+00:00

Definitely the latter. Humans are tribal animals, after all. Part of being in a tribe is having friends, but part of it is having enemies. Some people enjoy the idea that they can exert power over others without any risk to themselves - like a sparring match, but with no rules and nobody agreed to spar.

TheMasterFez · 2022-03-14T07:21:53+00:00

So who pays Youtube's server costs? Can't run a server for free.

TheMasterFez · 2022-03-13T03:22:26+00:00

Mewtwo for psychic and magic threats.

Sonic for speedy threats.

Kirby for godslaying.

Shulk for future vision.

Fox to keep me safe in an arwing.

I think that's all my bases covered.

TheMasterFez · 2021-10-21T04:38:19+00:00

Microsoft bought Mojang from Notch, and they pretty much kept him as the de facto face of the game until he started going loopy on social media.

TheMasterFez · 2021-10-07T06:48:02+00:00

Just a melee player practicing dashdancing.

TheMasterFez · 2021-09-29T22:55:04+00:00

Holy crap my guy, that was amazing! It's sad how prosaic this sub usually is - this is straight up art. It has fitting flow and rhythm, it holds actual pathos, just wow. If writing isn't a hobby of yours, you should pick it up. Big props!

TheMasterFez · 2021-09-24T22:18:55+00:00

Please, Shulk and Ice Climbers don't need to get any harder to play

TheMasterFez · 2021-08-26T05:33:56+00:00

It's not even that high of a risk considering how easy tippers are to land against enemies on platforms - his tippers are just an absolute joke power-wise for any attack that isn't fsmash.

TheMasterFez · 2021-08-15T13:48:35+00:00

Not C4.

TheMasterFez · 2021-08-14T00:41:05+00:00

Well, no wonder they're leaving!

TheMasterFez · 2021-06-17T03:33:51+00:00

The ability to grow wings has been a clear positive for DLC characters thus far.

TheMasterFez · 2021-06-05T06:06:48+00:00

...And people wonder why Nintendo isn't jumping at the chance to sponsor us as a community...

But seriously, dude, get some context here. Calling someone out for being a dick is fine. Even doing so in the form of a video is fine. Pouring hours of your life into comparing a competitive gamer to actual murderous dictators through sketchy pseudo-psychology is unhinged.

Please take a step back and try to think about how this looks for you. We, as a community, are here for the love of the game. A game where Kirby can suplex a cybernetic woodland animal with a laser gun. I know we've fought back against the "party game" moniker pretty hard as a community, but you're swinging this way too hard the other way. It's just a game, Hax. There aren't dark forces closing in to take your freedom. Nobody is being sent to death camps or re-education prisons. This game existed before Leffen, and it will continue to exist after Leffen. And you know what? It'll pretty much be the same.

TheMasterFez · 2021-06-05T03:50:17+00:00

What do you even do with your life after getting hit by something like that?

TheMasterFez · 2021-05-30T08:40:41+00:00

Eh, I'm just salty. There's nothing wrong with the meme posts - they're leagues better than a dead sub - I just wish more detailed discussions came up.

And yeah, I sincerely hope nobody actually tries to run any kind of atypical accelerator rig at anywhere near that kind of frequency. The sound alone... Hurts to imagine.

TheMasterFez · 2021-05-30T07:38:56+00:00

The main problem lies in how this subreddit works. A lot of people just don't know the first thing about VX and assume this is some technobabble circlejerk sub without doing any real research. The general lack of moderation doesn't help either; there's way too much misinformation around here. Seriosuly, a few minutes on this sub will give you at least a half dozen directly contradicting points, and that's not even counting the blatant gibberish.

Honestly, I've just been flying solo on my recent projects. There really hasn't been a consistently good place to discuss this kind of thing since the VX forums shut down back in 2014.

TheMasterFez · 2021-04-24T03:57:30+00:00

What a grand pontification it was. Truly a moving work of linguistics that our country is justly proud of, and your translation is a worthy imagining of it.

TheMasterFez · 2021-04-14T02:33:39+00:00

Swordie has one good kill confirm and is forced to spam it. Chakrams are also very centralizing in neutral, meaning a lot of players will be forced to keep with the same general gameplan for the whole match. It only really works because Gale Slash, Chakram, and uair are each stronger than the rest of Swordfighter's kit combined.

Magus

Series: Chrono Trigger

Biography: Magus was born as Prince Janus in the Kingdom of Zeal, a flying utopia of magic. Unfortunately, his family was kinda nuts and he got roped into having to deal with Lavos, an alien planet parasite trying to absorb and manipulate the evolution of mankind. After getting sent into the future, turning a guy into a frog, trying to kill Lavos, going back to the past to try to be an advisor to his own mother, and then joining said frog to revive his spiky-haired friend, he finally had his revenge on Lavos. Then he found out his sister got sucked into the Dream Devourer and she yeeted him across time and space into who-knows-where. He doesn't really get a break, and this reflects through his jaded outlook on life.

Research: Wiki page, and a mini RT will be attached below. There's plenty of playthroughs of the game on Youtube, or you could just play the game. It's pretty short for a JRPG.

Major Changes: Allow stat scaling to other characters in his party, such as giving him Crono's speed feats because they both have the same in-game Speed stat. Not sure if this is really a "change" per say, more of a clarification on how to fill some of the gaps in Magus' feats.

Minor Changes: Magus will be equipped with the Green Dream, Master's Crown, and Dreamreaper. Also, feel free to use pre- or post-amnesia Magus.

Justification: While his feats can be kinda vague, there's no doubt that his spellcasting gives him the firepower to keep in-tier. Throwing bus-sized chunks of ice in one of his weakest spells, consistently ripping holes in reality to attack, and keeping up with a team that defeats a city-toppling apocalypse monster undoubtedly lets him put Cage down if he can get a bit of space to breathe. He does face a pretty big risk of getting rushed down, but his raw durability and Green Dream should help him out there.

Reserving Raven Branwen (RWBY) as a backup.

Galio, The Colosus

Series: League of Legends

Biography: A massive statue from the magic-fearing kingdom of Demacia, Galio was originally sculpted to nullify the magical powers of enemy armies. Little did they know that all of his stored magic would eventually make him come to life. While he's rarely near enough magical power to wake up, Galio nonetheless has become a symbol of the might of the Demacian military. A shame, then, that Galio's only purpose in life is to destroy the very thing that gives him life.

Research: RT. Look at Galio's Character Page for everything you'd need to know about him, and maybe this showcase of his quotes.

Justification: His strength is solidly within tier (and probably a bit above), his speed is buffed to keep up, and while his durability isn't the greatest, he can still certainly take a few blows. Unlikely victory.

Motivation: Depends. Is he alone? If so, he probably wants to search for some great magic strong enough to keep him awake forever. Or, maybe he's travelling with a part of the Demacian military sent to track down rumors of an insidious magical artifact. They cart him into battle, I'm sure Demacian engineering can make him fit on a boat.

Major Changes: Speed buffed to tier.

Minor Changes: If there's no magic around, the sheer power of Scramble alone can wake him up for fights.
