damn slip of finger haha

[pichubro]

I guess not today, I just assumed

[Mario the black knight]

Ha ha, saw that, lame. At least all the people who were mad he wasn't in MVC3 have something to play now. If they wanna waste their money on a Wii U that is.

Nice, but I WANT KH2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There better be a 2.5 REMIX.

It is kinda weird to play KH2 in SD now, when I was playing last night it felt so small. Also, I noticed other things that didn't feel as good as modern games, like I'm not used to locking anymore since ACIII and Batman made me aware there are ways to fight without locking.

Also, just saw footage of the new Sonic game. UGGGGGGGGGGGGH!! No one understands sonic anymore!!

[pichubro]

2.5 was announced weeks ago.

[Mario the black knight]

Well is it dependant on the quality of the sales of 1.5 or is there a release date? 2.5 is the one I want, I was less of a fan of KH1 and definitely not a fan of the other games.

[pichubro]

I want to get 1.5 so I can finally beat KH1

Also, I'm finally playing FFIX again tonight. I don't even remember the last time I played xD

[pichubro]

oh god where do I go

[pichubro]

Playing FFVII instead

[Mario the black knight]

And You'll be beating FINAL MIX, with all new never before seen stuff like special attacks you can't learn in the original and stuff!

Awwww! I haven't played in a while either, but that's because I don't really have much else to do in the game, and I wanna beat it at the same time as you. Shame theres no cross game chat

Awww, I could have helped! Aww

Not a bad idea either! hah a ha

Where are you now?

And I, for the first time, though I am a sonic veteran, just saw Hyper Sonic, I'm about to 100% Sonic 3 AND Knuckles, the full epic, in one night as sonic, something I've never done before. This Emulator's music is effed up though, which is really annoying :niggasad: And it's getting glitcher by the second. Hyper Sonic rocks though.

You see, THIS is why I wanna start a Youtube channel, so I can like, get into E3. Ha ha ha ha

Seriously though, look how awesome all those displays are. I wonder if that prick realizes how lucky he is sometimes.

[pichubro]

The...

The Group Room >_>

I feel violated xD

[Mario the black knight]

Awwwwwwwwwww...

Probably not as violated as poor Cloud...

Me and Tim made jokes about that scene in school all through 7th grade, and no one understood but us.

Like I said, Sector 6. Very. VERY dirty......

How many of the other items have you obtained? Have you faced Big Bro in Squats yet? I love the squat minigame, it's very fun, ha ha ha. Also, big bro, kind of a tranny....but I assume they made that inescapably clear...

............................

Heh, that means you got most of the..."best"...stuff.. ha hah a ha. Did you give the funny answers? Tifa and Aeris come in and are like Ha ha ha ha ha

I love the scene where they shake him down

AWESOME IS COMING!

[pichubro]

I guess I did haha

Hahahaha I did! He leaned in for the kiss and I was cracking up.

Yeah, the whole putting their feet on the bed was amazing xD

Just did the boss fight in the sewers

[Mario the black knight]

Ha ha ha ha, yeah, the way you perform at the minigames and tasks given to you throughout sector 6 determine who he picks. If you perform well, you get the best stuff and they choose you instead of one of the actual girls, ha ha ha

Hah a ha ha, I loved that "Cloud! What were you doing!?!?!" Ha ha ha ha

Yeah "If you don't...*steps up* I'll cut them off." I love how it corresponds with the weapon of choice they all use.

Yeah, that's a good one, but the intensity is on! The battle for Sector 7 begins!!! Talk to everyone for character growth!

[pichubro]

I have an extra save file before doing the sidequest, I kinda want to see what happens with the other two xD

I loved how Cloud averted his face at the beginning haha like a 'oh god don't choose me' kind of deal

Mkayy I'mma going to bed though. You should get back on a good schedule!

[Mario the black knight]

Well, the other two are basically the same, so you only really need to see one.

Ha ha ha, yeah, exactly. That and maybe he didn't want to be looked at too closely since...you know...he's a dude. The "physical" humor in this game is great. A character can crack you up just by shrugging, hah a ha.

But but...I just got to the Death Egg! I'm gonna hundred percent the game in one night! Aww do I have tooooooooo.

[pichubro]

Yeah, the physical humor is awesome, IX kinda had that too. Back when you couldn't have detailed faces the animations were more important and make them feel more real than even some modern games. But a lot of modern games also don't have fixed arial camera either.

[Mario the black knight]

I dunno, I feel like they do a good job using the camera to set the scene. I mean not as good as IX did, they had some amazing camera work in their scenes. But VII also has a ton of awesome framed scenes. Like theres one later in the game between Tifa and Cloud where you can only really see Tifa's face and her reactions, and Cloud is in the background walking around and talking to her from behind her, it's a great scene.

Plus, I really think the art is great in this game, like the backgrounds, I just love the artwork, it looks hand painted. And it really sets the scene so well, like how scummy it looks inside Don Corneo's little outside place, or just how trashed Midgar really is. In the new stuff, like Advent Children or Crisis core, they don't nearly capture just the feel of Midgar from the first game. Just the like, Japanese hodgepodge of broken technology and junk everywhere. It's so amazing. And in a lot of places I just feel like the hand painted backgrounds make it feel more like your playing an anime or something. Like a good 90s anime.

And yeah, I really do feel like the physical animation being so expressive really does make it feel more emotional than even modern games. That's something I would like to do for like, cutscenes to make them look better, like do the performance capture in a way that the scene would even look good and the game would still be good even in mute. So you could read the dialogue and watch the people move without having to rely on graphics or voice acting to make the scene. Then I'd make those two elements be good too, then it would be perfect, ha ha ha.

[Mario the black knight]

And with that, I did it :nigga:

First time ever, 100% complete Sonic 3 and Knuckles with Sonic and Tails. I did it previously on console only with Knuckles and not Sonic. It's awesome to see Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails all together in the scenes with Knuckles. It just feels like the most complete telling of the story doing it through Sonic 3 and Knuckles, you see Robotnik's plot fall together completely that way. How he manipulates Knuckles and almost succeeds with his plan. Theres actually a lot of drama and story that one would miss only playing one or the other. They snuck in some pretty sneaky stuff that I never would have understood. Like the fact that certain key boss battles are actually tests of certain key elements of Robotnik's final weapon. You can see elements of a few of the bosses and even some of the regular enemies in the final boss. You can even see that the major boss fight at Lava Reef was an ambush that was meant to finish off Sonic and Tails, where after which he would betray Knuckles, finish him off, and complete his plan. from those events in that moment of the game, you can tell what Robotnik's plan was.

He wanted to manipulate Knuckles into distracting Sonic while he worked on his ultimate weapon, The Death Egg, and the robot onboard it. He also wanted to use Knuckles to find the Master Emerald. During the events of Sonic 3, Sonic stops Robotnik's first launch. In the events of Sonic and Knuckles, this continues while Robotnik rebuilds the Death Egg. Knuckles still distracts you, but not in the same way he did in 3, because this time he's attending to his other duty, and not to mention Robotnik is plotting his ambush and Knuckles is involved in that attack. During this time, Robotnik is testing key elements of his final weapon, The second boss has a flame thrower, the third boss has a chargeable lazer blast, and the first Lava Reef Boss has hands almost exactly like the final weapon. Robotnik and Knuckles carry out their ambush, but Sonic and Tails narrowly escape. After this, Sonic finds entrance to the Hidden Temple, where the Master Emerald and Super Emeralds are located. Uncharacteristically, Knuckles fights you head-on instead of pulling some kind of trick on you. This suggests that this is his real duty, defending the Emeralds. After subduing Knuckles, Robotnik stages his betrayal and steals the Master Emerald to power his final weapon, and to give the Death Egg enough power to escape to orbit. Knuckles realizes his mistake and begins helping Sonic, since after the beating he got from both Sonic and Robotnik, he was too weak to go get it himself. After this, Robotnik releases Metal Sonic and his minions to distract Sonic for just long enough to let him escape. This is why Metal Sonic uses some older boss patterns on Sonic, because it was a move of desperation and no purpose built machines were ready, so Robotnik released some old machines that had worked alright in the past to keep Sonic busy. Sonic narrowly catches the Death Egg and gets onboard. While in space, Robotnik is forced to activate his ultimate weapon since Sonic defeats all of his other robots. Sonic stops it, and Robotnik tries to flee. Sonic, then as Super Sonic, or Hyper Sonic, has to catch the fleeing Robotnik in the atmosphere in an epic finale flying through space junk after grabbing the Emerald, he takes it to Angel Island where Knuckles guards it, and uses it's power to levitate the Island, so Robotnik can't get his hands on it again.

It's actually a pretty good story for having zero lines of dialogue and the expressions of 16 bit sprites to work with.

19 years after I first got the game new for Christmas in 1994 and I've finally done everything in the game, and it still probably won't be the last time I play it? Yeah, now THATS what I call replay value.

[Mario the black knight]

Also, if your playing FFVII right now, and are past the Battle for Sector 7, take the stairs.

You'll know what I mean at the relevant time.
