Just a Nintendo fangirl trying to figure out her life. I play competitive Smash sometimes.
she/her, 30, maybe probably a Youkai.
Oh, and I like frogs, too, I guess.
Minors DNI please :)

Pokemon Battle Revolution Nintendo Wii Trailer
YouTube video by IGN

This is what Pokemon Champions should have achieved at a bare minimum. A concept trailer from 2007 for a sub-HD console was my lowest expectation, and Champions still failed to meet even that.
Kinda getting into Chess. I'm really bad at it, but I'm enjoying myself a lot.
Kinda terrified to start playing real people instead of bots, but I keep being told that I need to begin doing that @-@

I really cannot overstate just how solid of a character Taranza is in Air Riders. Every setback feels like it's 100% on me, and I always feel well-rewarded for successfully executing a plan or strategy.
Spider boy goes fast, takes hits, can hit hard if needed, and has passable handling to boot.

So Chrono Tower's design is undeniably quite yonic, the Lamorn are notably quite slender, and the Grievers, far more aggressive and toned, are noted to simply have had certain unactivated genes activated by green energy. And none of that is related???

Can you imagine how much less memorable Phazon would have been if it was just called "Blue Fungus?"

Just got the Electric Shot, and my overall takeaway at the moment is... is this game unfinished? Lots of repeat enemies, Psy-bots for every involved combat section, and Metroid stuff just... kinda being thrown in haphazardly? Barely feels like a Metroid game tbh.

Air Glider is so funny because it's either stacked full of people that spent the entire game preparing for this moment or it only has two people who had a bad round, found a machine that was passable at gliding, and prayed no one else picked Air Glider.

Shoutout to the temporal concept of later, the indeterminable moment of time in the future where I accomplish all the things that will improve my surroundings, mental health, and life in general. Can't wait until the day I get to experience it :)

Thinking about Diantha in X/Y talking about how youth isn't everything and that she's excited to be able to play different roles as she grows older. She was very likely pregnant or had just had Ansha at the time. I wonder if that played a role in that stance.

At this point, it's undeniably canon that Megas are sexless, and this isn't a new thing at all. Even back in X/Y, Megas like Venusaur, Blaziken, and Garchomp lacked gender differences. Latios and Latias Megas looking the same was always meant to be a nod to this.

A little late, but here is my Kirby Air Riders City Trial Riders Tier List.
For clarification:
Tier list assumes a Solo 5 minute 16 player with Stadium set to random ruleset.
Each tier is ordered.
There is at most a 10% difference in efficacy between the best character and the worst character.

"How can you enjoy playing so lame???" laments the rushdown player. "Because it's more engaging than facerolling my controller every match," the zoner retorts.
Unnoticed and unbothered by the ruckus, the humble grappler has safely gained a little more stage control, an honest day's work completed.

Ult top tiers are easily the most boring out of any Smash.
Five generic Brawlers, the most boring zoner in the world, the one that doesn't want to interact with anyone, the one that no one wants to interact with, "funny" block man, the most boring rushdown in the world, and Snake (lamer edition).

Updated demo tier list.
Split the Mid Tier into two different tiers now because it was getting crowded. Tiers are ordered.
Having bulkier machines this time around made offense not as big a deal while perceived squishiness (Starman) was not as much of a downside as I initially believed.

I have played lots of MK in the Air Riders demo, and I think the optimal route is this:
Find a bulky machine first (Wagon, Bully, Vampire, etc), go either underground or to the crystal caves for patches, then volcano once special is almost filled, use special to get to the Garden in the Sky.
(1/4)

I've cut red meat out of my diet entirely for a few months now, but recently, I've been sorely missing spaghetti.
Decided to try making it by replacing the ground beef I used growing up with some breaded fish portions, and honestly, I think we all owe Plankton and the Chum Bucket an apology tbh.

Got a full shift tomorrow, so I probably won't get to really play more of the demo until next week. Drafted up a silly character tier list, but I don't think character choice matters that much. Feel like all riders were viable... aside from poor Scarfy.
Tiers are ordered aside from D.

For those playing the Kirby Air Riders demo today:
If you open up a private Paddock lobby and start a match with only yourself, you can play City Trial with 15 computer opponents (I don't think you can play with fewer). They are less aggressive than human players, so it's good for experimentation.

Kirby Air Riders impressions so far: Getting to the Garden in the Sky is really important now. Seems to be the new star pole but with a much higher barrier of entry.
Idk about other characters, but MK's special basically gives you an extra glide, guaranteeing access a minute and thirty in.

Early Air Riders impressions:
Feels nice. I like how the machines were given more personality, and it's good to see that some of the surrealist aspects of late 90s-mid 2000s Kirby were preserved.
Not sure I like how fast Kirby runs around or how fast you can inch forward when at a complete stop.
