Captain L 1,648 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Brushed myself up in training mode, fought the CPU pretty overwhelmingly, all I'm saying is; I'm no pro, but I could probably show most of you up if we met in Skullgirls. Link to comment
Captain L 1,648 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 By the way, yes, I'm fully aware that the newest Three Houses DLC pack added Anna back as recruitable. This is excellent news. Though I still think her Awakening design is her best one. Link to comment
Captain L 1,648 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Finished Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online. Even if you aren't a fan of standard SAO, this is removed enough and better enough that it's totally worth watching. It's a goddamn blast from beginning to end. Our two primary protagonists in this post-apocalyptic world of guns are a speedy pink loli and grenade launcher loli. That should tell you everything about the tone this series goes for. And the English dub was really good too. My only real hangup was, unless I wasn't paying attention, the removal of the Zekken shout-out, because that's a nice little bonus for SAO fans (I initially had to look up who Zekken was to remind myself, because it's a lot more of a hardcore reference than just mentioning Sinon). But I want to give special kudos to Faye Mata as Fukaziroh and Allegra Clark as Pitohui, as they're both crazy characters and the dub got them perfectly. Pito especially, I remember why she's such the crazy chick crush. Link to comment

Captain L 1,648 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Sad news, the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection has been delayed, from January 21 to February 25. Now, while this does eliminate the problem of releasing the same week as Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot (and The Alliance Alive HD Remastered if you're a purely PC player), the problem is that I wanted the collection now and now I have to wait even longer. Waiting until January was already agonizing enough! I'm surprised it even had to be delayed, it's just a collection of GBA and DS games (or, more realistically, DS ports all around, using Zero Collection DS as the base for those games) in the same vein as their previous collections. The only explanation is that, unlike the previous Legacy Collections (barring Mega Man 9 and 10 in Legacy Collection 2, I suppose), Zero/ZX is using ports instead of emulation, and that would make the whole job more challenging. I guess Ciel wanted to wait for a slightly warmer month to really show off in full HD glory (never mind that her winter coat in Zero 3 was adorable). And this messes with my schedule. I was planning to have a specific story out for January 21st. Guess this means I have an extra month to work. Link to comment
Captain L 1,648 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Great news for US Netflix subscribers: K-On! Both seasons and the movie are now available, with English dub too. It's a fantastic series and you should watch it. Watch it, and join the Mio Fan Club with me. Link to comment
MasterXploder 749 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Pokemon Sword/Shield will be the first generation that I skip on since Ruby/Sapphire. In addition to all the bad news about this title before its release, I have far too much going on to pile a JRPG on top of that, and it doesn't look all that great anyway. Suffice to say, this means there likely won't be any stories about it from me anytime soon. A shame, as the character designs remain top-notch as ever.

Captain L 1,648 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Got Street Fighter on the mind. Ibuki's great. Can't say I understand her uniform, though. Female ninja always have unrealistic and impractical garb, but Ibuki's...lack of coverage down below is supremely eyebrow-raising. Link to comment

Well, according to the comics she wears a skin-colored bodysuit underneath. I don't buy it. Link to comment

Captain L 1,648 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I've just learned that Monster Girl Quest: Remastered exists, and it's downloaded. It's the original MGQ, with all the art upscaled, running in a better engine, with a few QOL improvements. And, because it's a transformative project instead of simply a translation patch, I just feel less guilty for simply downloading it without giving Torotoro Resistance (original developers) any money. I should really look and see if they have a donation link or something, because I'm willing to throw $30 their way. Actually buying all three parts adds up to closer to $75, and I think that's just an example of cultural pricing differences, like buying anime in Japan. I digress. Now that I've got it downloaded, it feels like a great reason to play the game again, but I have my reservations. It's long as hell, I have other things to do, and it hasn't even been two years since I played it first. But still...I want to... Actually, what I'd really love to do is play the game for the YouTube channel, but that's obviously fraught with problems all its own. Aside from the huge amount of work to record, commentate, edit, export, and upload with a game this size, I'd also have to go through editing all the source images (which Remastered thankfully gives me access to) to censor them to make it at all appropriate for YouTube, even with an 18+ access wall and my channel set to "not for kids". To say nothing of having enough commentary to fill the whole game! Link to comment
Captain L 1,648 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 One of the features Capcom promised for Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection was the inclusion of an option to use either the compressed voice clips ZX Advent players are used to, or to switch to the original masters for pristine quality. While I'm still not sure how far this extends (will ZX's Japanese version have improved voice quality? Will all the assorted voice clips in Zero and ZX be upgraded? WILL PROMISE - NEXT NEW WORLD FINALLY BE PERFECT?), I've since been torn on whether I want the dumb as fuck ability to listen to DS-quality voice clips through my TV, or to hear these lackluster voice actors in all their glory. Well, to make the decision easier, Capcom has released a clip of the difference, and...wow. The jump in clarity is so great, for a brief second, I thought they re-recorded all the dialogue. Listen for yourself, and hear Ashe talk about her booty as crystal-clear as can be. To be fair, Ashe's booty is high-quality itself, the acting surrounding it should match. Link to comment
MasterXploder 749 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Unlike Mai, Futaba was a good enough girl to get into Smash... though I bet even if she did wear this outfit, Sakurai wouldn't find it in his heart to deny her. Link to comment

Captain L 1,648 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 My Hero Academia "Best Girl" Count: 22. She hasn't actually done anything yet, but she's a dragon girl, and that's plenty in my books. So long as she doesn't turn out actively bad (looking at you, Draco), that's more than enough.

Captain L 1,648 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 So, Devil May Cry 3 finally gets announced for Switch. How funny that Devil May Cry 1 and 3's Switch ports were just announced with a press release and maybe a trailer, while Devil May Cry 2 of all games was featured briefly in a Nintendo Direct. I don't recommend the Switch versions of Devil May Cry games unless you really have no other options, as they're digital only, their $20 each asking price is equal to or more than the full Devil May Cry HD Collection on competing consoles, and because I don't see the later games being ported (or at the very least, 5's not happening), you'd be stuck with just the PS2 entries. But, if you have to, Devil May Cry 3 is the best in the series...well, I haven't played 5 yet, but it's the best out of the other five. Can't tell me Lady isn't high-class. Link to comment
Captain L 1,648 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 It's Centorea's birthday! But, it's also Thanksgiving, so today's a day to celebrate birds too. Cerea or Papi? Eh, why should I need to choose? Link to comment
