      I'm still alive. That's reason enough to celebrate.

  2. Survived my exam... Now for a day of relax to recharge my batteries.

  3. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/mixandmega-328336390 In this tier, hitting hard really becomes an art... Exactly what I needed to blow off some tension, so that I can get some sleep before my big exam tomorrow...
  4. Well, last I heard his neck/spine was in seriously bad conditions. Like, Edge-bad conditions. I do hope it's a work but... Yeah.
  5. Big exam tomorrow, so I am not going to be around much. Much apologies everyone.

  6. TFW you engage a NPC in a "friendly battle" during a harmless sidequest, and they S-Break your ass out of the blue <.<

      A technique in LoH: Trails of Cold Steel that allows you to perform an attack and then immediately follow it up with your super mega finishing move. Usually I am the one using it against enemies, to think a character whose sole battle showing in the game is in this sidequest would do it to me... ;-;

      ROFL! I know who you're talking about and don't underestimate her fists of fury.

      I SOMEHOW survived it... Which ensured my victory because Rean's (or rather, his Master Quartz's) second ability boosts his Atk when his life points get in the red area. Still, that was horridly close, after her S-Break I was left with literally 26 HPs... Again, this was a supposedly harmless sidequest @.@

      If you're finding a lot of inappropriate stuff then maybe you're not looking in the right places (also why can't pron be art >>)

  8. I take everything back. Towa is absolutely adorable and I deeply regret not pursuing her when I had the chance. Her interactions with Rean in late chapters are so touching... Well, there's always NG+ I guess.

  9. So we venture in the abandoned castle to save the kids who carelessly wandered in there. To get to the innermost room, where the kids are, we need to unlock a few sealed doors, and to disarm some nasty traps fighting off all kinds of monsters in the process. Which begs the question: HOW THE HELL DID THE KIDS GET THERE TO BEGIN WITH?

      This begs another question;what in the castle would have been dangerous/important enough to needs multiple sealed doors and nasty traps?

  10. In all seriousness, I merely said "don't worry, we are going to have redheads", using the plural because back then we hadn't announced Cat yet, and I didn't want to give any hints. When Cat was eventually revealed, I simply stated she was the redhead you had been craving so much: that there would be more coming was a conclusion you jumped to
  11. For once that I had said something cool, you just HAD to waltz in and trivialize it <.< Sorry, but we declared since day one that we would not divulge the stats of any of our Pokemon, SPECIFICALLY because we want to prevent players from strategizing in advance. We have no field effects nor other such special rules that can be used to make the major battles of the game harder, therefore the fact that you cannot strategize in advance is a key component of the difficulty and the uniqueness of the game. You take that away, half the fun is gone. And @Red no, Cat is the only redhead. But you are going to see her so often, she'll be more than enough
  12. Nothing of the sorts. Simply, we staffers of Se7en like to analyze the competitive value of our creations and well, of the 3 different versions of Cat's team, the one in my signature is by far the strongest from a competitive point of view. Therefore, when I decided to ask Zim for a banner to put in my signature, I immediately went for this. Our story is going to have A LOT of characters, much more than the average Pokemon game in fact, simply because many side characters that, in canon games, would be pushed to the background without a second thought (gym leaders, gym guide, secondary plot-related characters, the professor etc) are going to receive A LOT of character development throughout the main plot (and some will even continue getting more in the post-game). And yet, of all the characters, upon deciding to cosplay as someone to advertise our project I chose Cat. And the reason is very simple: Cat is easily the most interesting character in the story, meaning that she is the one who is going to receive the most character development. And well, it is the Pokemon equation: character development = screen time = lots of battles. And if you have to battle a recurring character a lot, wouldn't you want them to be as strong as they can get, to give you a truly enjoyable challenge? Mind you, with this I am not saying that, if you pick a starter other than Lifoam, Cat's team will be weak. Far from that in fact: after all, the choice of the starter does not impact JUST the starter used by the rivals, their entire team changes accordingly so that, regardless of your choice, they will still have a balanced, effective, competitive team by end-game. But IMO this one version of Cat's team is superior to the other two (althought the version with Roobber's evo can give it a shot for its money, while the version with Lifoam's evo is inferior, albeit not by much), hence why I wanted it to be in my signature. It's all there is to it.
  13. This, pretty much. I cannot say if I find a draft for women to be right or wrong, because IMO the entire concept of draft is wrong to begin with.
  14. Ahem. http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18790&page=1
  15. http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14115&page=103#entry478672 Two important service communications concerning Se7en. Please check them out!
  16. Ok people, it's time for a few service communications. These are very important so please ursaring with me. Firstly, as you may know from seeing a status of his a while back, Hukuna is currently experiencing technical difficulties, which have seriously limited his ability to contribute to this project. Since most of Ep 2 is already done by this point, and we were waiting for his dialogues to finalize the various events, this might cause serious delays, also because Azery is leaving on a trip halfway through march. Meaning, if it takes too long for Huk to send in his dialogues, it might get to a point where events cannot be completed on the account of Azery being away: we DID reorganize our work specifically with this in mind tho, so yeah, unless the problems turn out to be much bigger than expected, we should still be able to release Ep 2 on schedule. We will let you know more in the following weeks, but the hope is that everything will work out fine in the end, and you will get your new episode in the last week of february or the first of march, as promised. Just in case, I am throwing there a pre-emptive #PleaseUnderstand. Secondly, it is with great pleasure that we announce a new, unexpected development concerning the composition of the staff: as of this moment, Juuzou is our brand new official composer. You read that right: remember when we said that the score of Ep 1 was made of placeholder tracks, which we would hopefully remove in future releases? And remember when we said that we had a specific style in mind we wanted to build our original score around? Well, it just so happens that Juu is not only a very nice, enthusiastic, energetic guy, he is also very skilled at music AND familiar with the style in question, so chances are, Se7en will be slowly but steadily switching from a filler soundtrack to a completely original one over the next couple of releases. Sadly, given how tight our current schedule is, it is highly unlikely that he will manage to have ALL the tracks needed for Ep 2 done in time for the release (we calculated he'd have to make a track per day to make it), but still, you can expect the most significant tracks of Ep 2 to use his original creations instead of random music found around YT, and by Ep 3 we should have completed the switch to our 100% original score. Juu is very skilled both at remaking existing tracks into the style we are looking for ("remixing", if you will, although "rearranging" would be a more appropriate term here), and at creating completely new tracks out of nowhere. Allow me to give you a sample of each: An example of rearranged track (Professor Acacia's theme) An example of 100% original track (generic trainer battle theme) I hope you people like his creations (I surely do), because you are going to hear them more and more going forward! So yeah, everyone please give a warm welcome to our newest recruit
  17. Ground/Fairy with Pixilate as an ability, good SpAtk, Boomburst, Earth Power and Flamethrower (plus U-turn for scouting). All Flygon needed to be godly was an Altarianite, who would have thought?

      cause as ken sugimori says he ran into an artist block for it and have you tried noivern + pidgeotite

      I prefer Pidgeotite Victini. What with Inferno.

  18. I gave it a try! Ok well, more than a try: I have had many battles, tried many different things, and I gotta say this tier really is a lot of fun. My latest battle: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/mixandmega-327210286 Currently using Ampharosite Mew (or "anti-fun Mew", as my opponent dubbed it), Sablenite Blissey (ridiculous bulk), Altarianite Flygon (PIXILATE BOOMBURST), Aerodactylite Conkeldurr (you can see in the replay just how strong it is), Latiasite Heatran (removes main weakness, has good bulk, and absolutely obscene SpAtk), and Salamencite Archeops (Archeps redeemed).
  19. So wait, basically you give a mega stone to a Pokemon, and that Pokemon gets the stat boost and ability the corresponding mega would get? Do you actually make teams for this, or is it randomized?
  20. Fairy Tail Episode 117: you know, I really like the way they built the battle between Team Natsu and Hades. It breaks many recurring schemes and really drives home the point that yes, Hades really is the biggest villain faced up to that point. A "disc one final boss", if you will, considering that it is after this battle that the plot truly picks up...

  21. This has got to be the first time it has happened to me to take control of a supporting character, and fight the main protagonist (who had been my avatar up to that point) as an enemy in a battle...

      I am playing Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel. And yes Rean is broken af when I use him, so having him used against me was less than ideal. Fortunately, Machias saw fit not to use his pietrifying skill, so that was one less thing to worry about. Fie was decisive as I built her specifically to rely on accuracy manipulation, so she was precise enough to hit Rean and nimble enough to dodge Broken Leaf Cutter.

      I dread to think what would have happened had Elliot been Rean's partner tho. The thought of having Resounding Beat used against me (worse yet, the thought of having a Resounding Beat-boosted REAN used against me) is quite frankly terrifying.

      'Broken Leaf Cutter', that's funny :P

  22. Really dude, as your physician I must recommend that you cut salt from your diet
  23. Heimdallr is so... So London. I cannot think of any other way to describe it.

    1. Exalted

      Exalted

      is that a location in a game if so poible to be based on london

  24. But he does have such a card. Didn't he get out a similar lockdown by using a combination of pendulum effects a while back? Also, don't flip too hard, the anime is all about screwing the rules. Heck in Zexal Yuma attacked during MP2 in his duel against Tron, it cannot possibly get worse than that...
