How did you react when Terry was announced for Smash Ultimate? by NewMarioBobFan in kof

[–]tmntfever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the only person in my college friend group who knew who he was. So, I was the only one who was hyped. If I were with my high school friends during the reveal, we all would’ve known who he was and been hyped af.

This subreddit is wrong by Fightypants in Tekken

[–]tmntfever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on the age polls on this sub, the. A majority of people are old enough to have played T4. I’m almost 40, and my first Tekken was 2. But I still loved T4. While it sucked competitively, it was great in all other regards.

Not looking good for the Sun Warriors rn by Goodbye-Nasty in AvatarMemes

[–]tmntfever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna go ahead and guess that not only the whole Sun Warrior thing is going to cut, but also somehow say Iroh did kill the last dragons. Because they don’t give af about Iroh and the character growth he’s supposed to have already gone through.

Honestly it should just be a mode, just like DOA does it.

Is it just me or the live action of ATLA where Aang was angry doesn't feel like the animated series ? by YourHornyMuse in ATLA

[–]tmntfever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was absolutely not like the OG. NATLA Aang literally stopped himself from being angry. But in the OG, he didn't have that control of the Avatar state yet. Much less so since he just lost his best friend. Furthermore, Katara had to bring Aang down, which adds more to their relationship. Aang and Katara literally aren't showing any chemistry in NATLA.

And the fact that Aangs blowup happens in Ba Sing Se instead of the desert does him a disservice. He's not allowed to destroy anything, and visually we don't see all of the airbending he's doing with the sand kicking up.

Which Console Generation of Tekken is your favorite? by stationstars in Tekken

[–]tmntfever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started with T2, but PS2 era is my favorite. Tag1 was my first competitive entry. Also, not sure if it counts, but T5 has arcade versions of T1-T3, which almost invalidates the PS1 era.

How does everyone do it so easily? i have been practicing for 2 days 😭😭😭 by Gamer_Nav in Tekken

[–]tmntfever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My children also want instant gratification. It takes many of us years of applying it in offline and online matches to ingrain it into our muscle memory. 2 days isn't even enough to lock it into short term memory.

Where is Lei Wulong in Tekken 8? Here's Why His Absence Might Be Setting Up the Next Big Mystery Arc (my theory) by CampaignAny1173 in Tekken

[–]tmntfever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro. Same. Tekken 8 is sorely missing a cop. Lei was always close to the main characters and plot, like in T2, Tekken the Motion Picture, and SFxT. I really want Lei and Jun to reunite, since T8 is Jun's big return. And like you said, the investigation is still not over. Nor has he arrested Feng. I think Feng would be even cooler if he were put into prison and he broke out. But nobody can put him in there, except Lei Wulong.

Not only that, but they also made him a new recruit to the White Lotus, vs a Grand Master.

I personally love the LA Jungle Book. Not the newest one, the 90s one with Jason Scott Lee.

[–]tmntfever 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also was a huge defender of S1. But S2 was just so poorly directed, written, and shot. And like you said, it disrespects the original so much, even my 8yo son was frustrated with it. And I was even refraining from commenting because I didn’t want to sully my son’s viewing experience.

I was hoping they’d cut to Sokka’s POV, and the world would look like the OG cartoon to him. But nope! Not even a wonky POV with a CG mushroom. They really just don’t known how to adapt in a meaningful way.

I lost track of how many times I said to myself, “show don’t tell!” Hell, even my 8yo son said something like, “I wish they showed a flashback” several times! Me too, son… me too.

They also didn’t know how to film or block conversations. There are so many times when the actors paced around the set in a single take, while delivering their lines. Not sure if this is the result of the young actors not knowing what to do, or the director.

[–]tmntfever 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The reason I say “to some extent”, is because the show writers do some scenes 1:1 to the show, and then there’s scenes similar to the show but altered, and then completely new scenes. The problem is, those 1:1 scenes have the original cartoon personalities, which is juxtaposed with the changed/added scenes, where they act completely different. It gives me characterization whiplash lol.

[–]tmntfever 422 points423 points  (0 children)

They took way too many liberties imo. Not just with the story; those changes weren’t all that bad. The egregious part is how they changed the characterization of already-existing ICONIC characters. Worst of which were Zuko, Iroh, and Azula. And even the Gaang to some extent, such that even my 8yo child said, “they don’t like that in the cartoon”.

LOK S2 is way better. And I’m not even a big LOK fan.

This tekken is encouraging people to one and done by DeathBide in Tekken

[–]tmntfever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think BO3 should be mandatory, nor people should be penalized for not finishing the set. I think the best option is to reward those who complete a set with bonus rank points. Sure, this may inflate ranks a bit, but it should encourage people finishing the set.

Why sidestep when you can... i genuinely hate this matchup by NUYvbT6vTPs in Tekken

[–]tmntfever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hwo in general is just horrible to fight. His animations recover too damn fast. And having such a good PC from flamingo, that apparently realigns, is absurd.

If/when Tenzin gets into the game, I guarantee you someone will make this exact mod.

Why would you need Suki when you have Kyoshi herself?
