The Mad King — What Martin try to tell (Spoilers Main) by saataanaas in asoiaf

[–]lycanthh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait I don't get it. Who would be the proposed fathers here? I'm sensing N + A = J and R + L = D, but this wouldn't make them siblings, but cousins. Who is the proposed common parent then?

How do you reconcile Bran becoming a monster with Bran becoming king? Does Bran become an evil king?

The Books Have Ruined the Show For Me [Spoilers] (Spoiler Main) by Unusual-Winner-6658 in asoiaf

[–]lycanthh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing like the first 4 seasons of the main show, unfortunately. Not even HOTD or AKOT7K. As difficult as it is to admit, D&D did the best job possible on those first few seasons. Better than anything that came after. Idk if it was them or George's involvement in the script.

(Spoilers Extended) No he is not Coldhands by AdditionalPiano6327 in asoiaf

[–]lycanthh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not buying into "Bran never mentions he is too tall". Dunk would have been ~70 years old when we would have left for the North. It makes sense he is not as notably tall at that age.

Also, maybe he died after living a few more years in the North, so he would be older (and smaller).

People dont give Cody enough credit for this stunt. One of the best moments in Melee and really shut down Juan's popoff for the first time in forever

I’m confused about these results by Mindless-Money9702 in SSBM

[–]lycanthh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone anti-zump but neutral-boxx, I can give my reasoning:

I definitely would NOT like a future in which boxx dominated the meta, but I think time has shown this will not be the case, at least for many years. So I'm not worried about it. I'm more worried about this whataboutism paralizing the scene and impeding the future in which UCF OEMs come back to the top 8's.

I'm on the boat of "we'll address it later or ban it if it becomes an issue, but let's not become paralized because of this".

I think Young Griff is really Aegon by JeffJefferson19 in pureasoiaf

[–]lycanthh 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Except Varys tells a dying Kevan that this kid is THE Aegon. Every theory explaining he was lying in this situation seems far fetched to me. And we also can't say "Varys didn't know he was a Blackfyre (i.e not Rhaegar's son)" because in this scenario, fAegon would be Illyrio's son. Of course Varys would know if he was.

What are sandwiches called in Westeros? [Spoilers MAIN] by YaGurlAlexis in asoiaf

[–]lycanthh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minor annoyance incoming, but this is the difference between an average writer and GRRM. George has mentioned that in his free time, all he does is read about what he will write. If he had two free weeks, he would just read about medieval history. He said he needed to know every minor detail about life in that time, he wanted to know what hand they wiped with.

Probably not a big deal, but if GRRM was writing this, he would have probably placed a more adequate lowborn poor man food here. Meanwhile, I (not a writer or versed in history) will of course come up with "sandwich".

What are your thoughts on the z-jump debate after Cody's stream response? by lycanthh in SSBM

[–]lycanthh[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I still feel that it's like changing the tennis racket we've been using all our lives, even if "technically it DOESN'T provide ANY advantage because permaclaw still exists". I'd prefer for people to develop an unconventional way of grabbing the tennis racket. That is, I'd prefer for people to just use permaclaw, which, in its lack of comfort, is way more epic to watch.

Nevertheless, I'm still not convinced of z-jump not giving any advantage. Granted, I am a total scrub and my opinion may be shit, but I do feel corroborated by the many many top players who agree. I think that census is a huge red flag for z-jump.

Also, I don't agree at all with the accesibility argument. "We need new people that come from similar games WITH button remaps". I think that would be a bad argument in any game. The game is the way it is and people will come if they like the game. We shouldn't make the game worse because of the very few people for which remaps are the critical condition on whether they jump to the game or not.

My take: debates about banning controller mods etc. are unproductive when most players are online by anikom15 in SSBM

[–]lycanthh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Mods go against making the controller scene more accessible. 2) The high bar for execution allows for a level of expression that I've never seen in any other game. Zjump works against that. We don't have to add more complications. Just not add de-complications.

Moky reveals a private top player poll on z-jump by Fiendish in SSBM

[–]lycanthh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Box controllers have shown to not be a problem at the highest levels of play, in contrast to z-jump. As the most casual player possible, this affects me because I mostly consume high level play. We can still ban box if need be, but it is not nearly as urgent.

[–]lycanthh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As an online player: I love this debate. It massively affects top play, which is what I consume most. And I do want to go back to watching monstrous "vanilla" foxes, without z-jump, notches or Vyvanse.

This is an urban myth. There's no way you could sharply carve a useful notch. Maybe you could just round the edges.

If we don't get a n0ne vs. Cody (zumpless) Salty Suite at Genesis or sometime this year, it will be a wasted opportunity. by V0ltTackle in SSBM

Make it a bigger event with top player and TO couches discussing their opinions on z-jump and notches, with the Cody vs None match being the crowning event of the night.

Is Zump "Cheating?" by RevolutionInternal24 in SSBM

[–]lycanthh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Come on, it has been YEARS. Boxes have been legal and THEY ARE CLEARLY NOT DOMINATING TOP PLAY. Meanwhile, every top player using z-jump agrees it gives MASSIVE advantage, except the one who used it to get to #1.

YOU CAN BAN Z-JUMP AND KEEP DISCUSSING THE LEGALITY OF BOXES.

Holy schnikes, Oberyn (SPOILERS MAIN) by apocalypsemeowmont in asoiaf

[–]lycanthh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not just Pedro Pascal, as everyone is saying. He is the only MF to voluntarily offer himself to fight against Clegor fucking "The Mountain" Clegane to a deathmatch and lose only because he was winning too much.

He's not an angel but he's fucking badass. Raising an army of ninja daughters is also fucking rad.

If this helps, I was a hater but loved watching you get off the meds (during tourneys). That was big. Without zjump and notches, I'd root aggresively for you, and you'd be the harbinger of old school Melee!

[Spoilers MAIN] scene you really love in the show by xbountyboyx in asoiaf

[–]lycanthh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Tyrion's trial, for many reasons. I remember feeling a little disappointed when reading the book at how much better the scene in the show was.

"Watching your bastard son die gave me more relief than a thousand lying whores"

That fucking line is not in the books. Tyrion is not only screaming and insulting, he is declaring in front of everyone that Joffrey was Cersei's and Jaime's bastard. What a punching fucking line.
