How about the best pokemon for every situation?

Pre-purchase the $100 PC Monster Race Edition for access to 18 hunters, five monsters, four monster skins. The extra PC content will be available to console players for purchase after 30 days.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how Xenoblade Chronicles is the best RPG made in the last decade at least? Went in expecting nothing; came out incredibly depressed the adventure was over.

In all honesty I'm awful with actors, but I briefly imagined Chris Pratt as Groose and laughed, so I googled up the first few actors that came to mind (and the first one that I thought appearance wise would work for Link, actually have no idea about the actor) and did the whole cast of Skyward Sword. So this in no way…

it definitely is a game made to make money, if not necessarily from Mexico.

Yes I agree. Nintendo did not intend smash to be a competitive game, but the fans pushed it in that direction. I think Nintendo finally realized just before smash 4 released because they actually sponsored and even hosted smash 4 tournaments. This does not mean they developed the game initially for competitions but…

I sympathized with Melee fans a bit during brawl, cuz tripping really sucked. But now we have Smash 4, the best iteration by far; am I the only one who hates watching melee? To me the whole this is comparable to Dungeons and Dragons. 5e is easily the best edition, 4.0 had some cool ideas but frankly kind of sucked,…

Illustrator/Legend of Zelda fan Jessica Smith, to celebrate Zelda Wii U coming out this year, painted this magnificent picture of what the Forest Temple might look like in the game. It probably won't be anywhere near as beautiful as it is here. Look here for more of Smith's work, and below for the full painting.

I think the article does a good job of acknowledging that Melee was the more interesting game in that tournament. It's first half is devoted to setting up the reasons why people were upset and so on. But still, and the article does a good job too here, that doesn't justify their actions. I think you can blame a bunch…

No, I can still blame them for being elitist and rude. That's still on them. The timeline for the events were all pushed and everyone had to wait for something. Only the entitled feel like complaining and disparaging are the right avenues to take.

I definitely appreciate your perspective as an insider. It's always helpful to understand both sides.

This is the Starcraft problem. Have you ever watched Starcraft tournaments? Of course you have. The game is so far from perfect, but players had been playing the game for 15 years that changes couldn't be allowed. So everything stays the same when SC2 rolls around. All that muscle memory the South Koreans worked up…

Zero was way more mature about this than I ever could be, I find most melee (and project M) people to be outright insufferable, but he's trying to actually fix the tensions

I love the Smash community and I've been a part of it for a long time (though I'm not dedicated enough to drive hours and hours away for tournaments). There seems be a very wide variety of people who indulge in Smash and some times things seem to get a bit out of control. Quite a few people are reaaaaalllly against…

When I play Smash Bros Wii U I always choose Random. If you see a Mii named "Nathan" with "RANDOM" as the control layout; thats me. For Fun or For Glory, I always choose random character.

I see the energy...

I've always disliked Melee for two reasons.
