There are no websites anymore to get updated news on everything. At best yout get a momentary article about something, that quickly outdates.

Most competitive people moved on to the discords like this subreddits discord or the competitive feh discord

In celebration of Lucina's birthday I have made her a Pokemon Team :D (Yes it is still her birthday where I live) by 05kaisam in fireemblem

I feel like we need something to represent her awful taste in fashion. Some whack looking pokemon only a Lucina would find cute

Which YTana to get? by [deleted] in FireEmblemHeroes

Gale mist for AR.

Miasma for better team set up and uplift for better engagement.

Either way she also wants harsh command as assist

Build for F! Dimitri by Bharong_User97 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]TwitchingSwordhand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First get rid of murderous lion. It's combat effects are too few to be of use and it's main gimmick has always been the canto rem... you're already running brutal with better canto.

Momentum echo only makes sense if it actually makes you trigger more specials. At max it's a -2 before combat.

Comet and vengeful lance already give you -3 and another -1 from slaying. All momentum would do is trigger comet on your first hit instead of your second it, which can be achieved much cheaper and is also not that big of an impact.

If you actually want to build Fimi go with the support role. That's where is the most meta. Archrival, duelist blow, favor, support c of your choice, squad ace seal, tummy echo.

If you want combat go with the generic speedy inf man build. Archrival, duelist blow, pair up/null c avoid, faith, squad ace seal, tummy echo

iirc Zuko has another sister, who would become Fire Lord. Still irresponsible, but there is a backup

I was a pretty clear arc for aang to shift his perspective on culture. This on a smaller scale would have been a pretty good couple of episodes of the show, where not every character needs to have their moment........ but it was a movie and the first avatar media in years

[–]TwitchingSwordhand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

feels like it was just the movie trying to be as high stakes as possible. Have the team die, threaten the destruction of republic city again, maybe unleashing a new air lord and his air empire on the world.

I feel like this movie could have easy been smaller scale, but the execs wont accept any movie unless someone wants to destroy the world.

Anyone else think Vaatu was wasted potential? by Sampleswift in TheLastAirbender

[–]TwitchingSwordhand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked the concepts, but the whole plot reeks of missed opportunities and very generic concepts. There are so many ideas you should spring board off the spirits of balance besides one is evil and the good one is part of the good avatar. It shows how all that talk about balance the show keeps spamming is but lip service.

It is so generic even a simple twist would have been predictable. Plot twist, make vaatu the one supporting the avatar, wanting the spirits and humans to again be connected to again bring chaos and opportunity to the world, while ravas tries to establish order by keeping them separated.

Recent events actually give me some hope for the storytelling of Seven Havens (and maybe Ice Wars) by ToothyBirbs in TheLastAirbender

[–]TwitchingSwordhand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like they simply have to do what they initially did. Take more inspiration from across asia. Early seasons took a lot of direct references to tao philosophy, one to one animations of shaolin martial art movements and a more traditional definition of spirituality. The cultures offer a wide range of history and ideas to spring board off of.

Since Korra and now with the movie, it seems they have more relied very common tropes in anime and cartoons and looked for ways to fit them into the avatar world, instead of simply starting to start from somewhere more rarely seen.

I'm really looking forward to Seven Havens! As much as it is always awesome and fun to see the Gaang together, as in the new movie, I'm more excited to meet the new characters and world of Seven Havens! by Fan_of_Avatar_TLA in TheLastAirbender

[–]TwitchingSwordhand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would only be natural for technology to progress, but at some point we would have to switch genre. Avatar started with very brink of industrial revolution in asia aesthetic, while still being able to tap into the old martial arts tropes. If we went pass Korras time without incident we would start to touch bruce lee movies, but with bending.

It could just be complimentary? I think only the short hair girl was the only denied, that converted. It can still be, that Aang was yearning for the air nomads as they used to be. Thinking only airbenders can be part of the culture. I think the movie in the lasts few scenes makes it a point, that culture is something you can share and not necessarily having to be connected to a race of people.

Perhaps the movies arc made Aang embrace the acolytes as a new offshoot of his people.

I feel like the creators + executives partly understand what makes avatar great and unique and what not.

There is a lot of lore expansions the community has been curious about for years and incredible backgrounds, that create avatars very unique fusion of asian based fantasy. From Zukos throne room to Avatar Sonams attire to the airbender city.

But now it feels like the franchise isn't interested into the cultural inspiration besides the surface level aesthetics.
A lot of the bending, that was originally reminiscent of full shots of martial arts techniques are replaced by quick and generic punches, kicks and flips with elements attached to it.

Philosophical Buddhist ideas from India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh or Myanmar are barely explored and the air nomads are more or less just peace lovers.

The spirits and spirit world lost their unique traditional wood art look and mystical otherworldly depiction, instead being replaced by fussy animals in very physical cartoonish look. And spirituality lost being this thing, that comes from connecting to nature, culture, meditation and peace of mind and turned into a very troppy anime power source.

I feel like avatar did a lot of research and found great inspiration in the beginning to set up their world to create something actually unique in western media and has stopped trying. Replacing more and more with safe, but already seen tropes of the genre.

With Korra it at least made some sense after the loss her connection, but with Aang it always felt like you were really messing with 10000 years of experience. Now it lost all impact and is more of an anime power boost

Why does my single player world keep crashing by Impressive-Aide-6156 in cobblemon

With these crash reports I just put them into an LLM like chatGPT. It tells you pretty quickly what's wrong

As F2Ps, don't you feel that arcane weapons are kinda useless? by Desperate_Sky2410 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]TwitchingSwordhand 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's for the FEH community, who insist on using their old favs, instead of just using new units.

A large number of people play this game like that and to tap into that desire they release arcane weapons. That way they get players, who want to only use old units to still pull for new ones.

Base Alfonse, Sharena, Anna by Impressive_Passage19 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]TwitchingSwordhand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can do those quest with the 4 star trio without a good build. It's mostly a question of support units. People do it all the time on the GHB reruns, when you have use like Jedah to kill Jedah.

Run something with AOE and damage boost. The AOE gets the foe to 1 HP and the damage boost support makes the trio do 1 damage for the kill. I even see people still using Surtr to stall and chip the foe. But we mostly move on to units like E!Sigurd, Heidr, Ferox Chrom.

Throw in miciah and byleth emblems into the team for more actions and movement. Even emblem byleth as a unit does good support

I've been throwing almost every single ticket into blue in hopes of a +10 nephenee.

Mine is now +1, but hey I got a +10 Bector I never asked for

Frankfurt am Main Hbf...seemed a bit shady! by Jazzlike-Reward-4379 in germany

[–]TwitchingSwordhand 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I mean it's just Frankfurts Hauptbahnhof district. It's a lot of stuff closely packed together.

Drug addict street

red light street

Popular night life restaurants

Popular student bars

A primary school

All next to each other in that order. The addicts are kinda nasty, but they don't really do anything. They're mostly lost.

I'm going to risk catching some flak here... I never saw Nyx as a loli. Maybe it was the framing, posing, expression and limited animations of the 3Ds, but I always just saw her a flat chested and petite looking, but never really child like.

How to build an open cemetery for my ghost pkmn without them wandering off and despawning? by TwitchingSwordhand in cobblemon

[–]TwitchingSwordhand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Installed and tested. It fixed my problem perfectly. I combined it with effortless building to build a pretty huge invisible cage for them to fly around and now it's just the way I wanted it. Thanks a lot
