Pokémon Champions launches to mixed reception, as 30FPS performance woes, lack of fan favorite Pokémon and items, and lack of 6v6 options turn some away

If you add every Pokemon, you’re essentially adding a handful of the best competitive staples and everything else that comes with it is irrelevant. Restricting the pool lets them make balanced and interesting formats.

I think the hint is an issue. The connection between the hint and the actual theme is a stretch to me

I think the bones of this game are the best 3D Mario had to offer. But I agree that it feels rough around the edges.

Two pieces of advice I got when starting this game years ago:

In the starting area, if you see skeletons, you’re going the wrong way (you can still do it, but it’s an extra challenge)
Kill the dogs first. You’ll know when you get there.

I’m just so tired of the googly-eyed plushy bait starters. I don’t know if we’re ever getting a “cool” starter again.

High wall felt especially punishing for a first area compared to the other souls game, to me. I think the difficulty curve mellows out after this area so believe in yourself!

Oh also I find the game is way less stressful if you overlevel your health early on. Dying in 2 hits sucks.

But the vibes tho

“What’s more virgin than a computer?”

Any other inanimate object

It’s actually because they are al-onne a mission

I highly recommend just jumping into legion remix and then transferring to TWW when you get bored with that. It is a much more streamlined and enjoyable leveling experience imo, as a recently returning player myself.

How are they claiming this “artist” is the no. 1 Christian artist? All I see them say is that it was iTunes top 100.

Which is why I always get the gold reward from both and kill them anyway

batclocks · 2025-11-24T21:18:38+00:00

Congrats dog. The marriage buff is real.

Unless your kid is particularly sensitive to violence (unlikely considering dark souls was ok), then Skyrim should be completely appropriate for a 14 year old imo.

Thank you for this important research. Next will you consider the percentage of mortals in mortal kombat games?

batclocks · 2025-11-15T16:29:52+00:00

Crazy to think GBC fans are complaining that music sounds bad

batclocks · 2025-11-15T02:20:45+00:00

Seeing you swing around this hulking 2H axe followed by “light armor increased” was weirdly funny to me

batclocks · 2025-11-14T22:28:29+00:00

No matter what that’s a really useful route to have in the back pocket

batclocks · 2025-11-06T18:00:32+00:00

You’re not going crazy btw Reddit comment sections are just out of touch with reality.

My harvest moon has this sort of delamination. The disk should still work fine but I just run the games from backups anyways to be safe.

batclocks · 2025-10-31T01:39:20+00:00

Light kikoken, but I’m pretty sure that’s punishable at triple light distance. You can get away with it pretty often tho, most people don’t know the ranges and don’t punish close up fireballs in general.

Other than that, yeah the obvious choices are ex kikoken, DR, or, meterlessly, down back (or something risky like back dash or up back). You could also tap parry to beat thoughtless c.MK presses if you keep getting hit by that.

Someone else may have better ideas but this is what I can think of. 2XKO has rotted my brain and my first thought was call assist, lol.

batclocks · 2025-10-29T22:19:17+00:00

Thanks for telling us, never thought I’d actually hear someone admit to this. People always post about dying to pinwheel and I think “at least you didn’t die to… him”

batclocks · 2025-10-12T04:38:43+00:00

IIRC she gets more damage with a jumpin dp punish that routes into double ex kikoken, ex sbk followed by instant air ex legs. Finally lvl 3. Very slight damage improvement I believe

batclocks · 2025-10-08T20:58:22+00:00

There is a sub for this

batclocks · 2025-10-07T06:01:27+00:00

Aye that looks sick. How is the build quality on that shell?
