Well then they need to make a new FF because i’m not playing anymore of this one. Free 2 Play or Subscription, it only affects the Developers access to continual funds. They both suffer from the fact that their success depends on appeasing a casual player base. Party Finder? Dungeon Queue? Excessive teleporting when…

I feel you. Its like everything that made the series great has been replaced with the cliches and intolerable characters from the plethora of anime that I can’t stand. Every title up to X was a Cowboy Bebop, everything after can be found in the Crunchyroll catalog.

Its too bad it takes a lot of time spent playing a different game to get there. I wish Square would release a FF that integrates online multi-player in a similar way that FROM SOFTWARE’s Souls series does.

1. The story is very reminiscent of previous titles. I would say no, there are very little character arcs if anything even substantial. You won’t get to know any Edgars or Kains in the initial RR content (thats what I played).

I played to the original level cap, pre expansion, and I have to say it was fun. They do a good job of making your character feel pivotal and important.

You are correct.

Talent is only wasted when not used. Their work on Project M was very accomplished.

P.M. wasn’t “just faster”. It included mechanics from Melee that hadn’t been used in Brawl: The ability to redirect characters mid-air, the L-cancel input that speeds character recovery when landing (opens up a lot of combo potential), and when used together the notorious wave-dash (which some form of actually exists…

The bad attitude is probably a regional issue. I live in Az and everyone I run into playing Melee at the local game-bar is really friendly and respectful. From a completely reverse experience, I have only encountered ‘bad’ attitudes from the Brawl community. A couple people have before gotten sore over losses and in…

I personally saw Axe take a tournament over Mewtwo King’s Shiek with Pikachu of all characters. From what I heard Hungrybox took the big Euro tournament recently with Jigglypuff. And just the other day I went 20-4 in friendlies against fox, falcos, and shieks (all capable of wave-dash and L-canceling tech) with ZELDA…

Why would you enter tournaments to a game that you hold a negative bias towards?

When you look at the differences between Melee and Brawl, heck even Melee and 4, they very much so are different games. Trying to say one is an ‘improvement of the other’ would be similar to stating that ‘Call of duty is an improvement of Halo’. Just because they’re both FPS’s doesn’t mean that they share the same…

Melee was the last installment that strove to pit “classic” characters against eachother. Brawl and 4 have been all about marketing current titles.

Advent Cloud is stylized after Japanese ethnicity. That is why he looks ‘different’. I would bet that they didn’t originally plan on marketing that film outside of Japan.

Okay, so this Cloud reveal is a teaser for a larger Smash reveal in December. I’d like to note that the very end of the teaser goes out of its way to show Square-Enix placed into the game’s licensing. This leads me to believe that Nintendo is adding more Square-Enix characters. While I’d like to believe that we’ll see…

Its true, but even adults can enjoy the occasional young adult novel. And even children can enjoy mature themes. The prequels felt like Asian titles adapted by Hollywood for western audiences: Abominations. It should have been titled “Star Wars episode 1: Annie and Pals”.

Nintendo is branching into a new market, and I don’t think its just to cash in on dinky phone apps. I’d place my money that this mobile tech-structure is going to eventually support key NX features.

Hopefully it doesn’t catch on and replace all hand-drawn 2D animation.

Its funny, but the world it creates isn’t memorable. It kind of feels like one giant newspaper comic strip.

If all marskman get nerfed in this trend then I could see some more unorthodox champions contending in the duo lane. Leauge may finally have an open meta.
