  1. Random Cold Steel thought #19: I love Sharon. Her interactions with Alisa are so damn funny, and the way they slowly build up her hidden depths is done absolutely to perfection. It's great for a game like this to have side chars that are as good as the main chars...

  2. Gonna be outside for the rest of the evening and most of the night. See you guys later.

    1. Red_Chaos

      Red_Chaos

      Good for you getting that fresh air

  3. Eliza vs Beowulf be like "BACK OFF, RUFFIAN!"

  4. Big Band vs Peacock be like "Ah! Look at what my MUSICAL FIST OF DOOM does to your puny projectiles!"

      Raindrop Valkyrie

      Hmmm... Skullgirls is probably a game I should pick up one day. I hear it's tutorial like... actually teaches you how to paly a fighting game and I've always kinda wanted to. Sadly, I'm broke XD.

      Bombs are no match for the brute force of DLC.

  5. Random Cold Steel thought #18: "What fair maiden doesn't carry around smoke grenades?" - Fie

  6. Random Cold Steel thought #17: you know, I am absolutely shocked by the impact Pokemon have had on everyday life. Having to say "I feel the same" during a conversation with a NPC, Rean says "ditto". This is an official dub made by a company, NISA, that has nothing to do with Nintendo, and keep in mind that, in this setting, the Pokemon franchise does not exist.

      I HAD NO IDEA. Well, now I know what's the origin of Ditto's name, I guess...

    2. Raindrop Valkyrie

      Raindrop Valkyrie

      Yep, that's the origin of the name in english. It's a word that ((more like phrase)) that means "same" basically lol.

    3. Raindrop Valkyrie

      Raindrop Valkyrie

      it's a phrase derived because of those marks since they basically mean "the same word is used here" so it's a term for same when used by itself like that.

  7. *watches the Squigly video provided by Pyon* well, this is going to be much harder than I expected.

    1. Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~

      Start with each string individually. They aren't that bad.

      Good thing it's april, and my uni routine isn't as bad lol.

  8. After learning the basics of the combo system with Filia, moving on to learn Squigly (who was my intended main all along) brings back so many memories: it feels the same as when I learned Blazblue's basics with Ragna, and then moved onto learning Hazama...

      Cerebella's lock n load is a strong assist but she is a grappler

    3. Damiano

      Damiano

      No character has given me as much trouble as Beowulf. I'm not exactly the best at the game but I can read/counter a lot. Beowulf however, is written in another language. (Eliza, Robo-Fortune, Fukua player)

      Here's your winner. Incidentally, both Filia and Mawile took inspiration, for their design, from the same japanese folklore, so yeah, the more you know :P

      Oh hey, a windsock.

  9. *goes to post in the "Pokemon Ethics" topic*. *Thinks better of it*. *Walks away*.

    1. Ironbound

      Ironbound

      You're free to contribute your opinion. There is no argument, so you needn't fear a flame war. I don't bite!

  10. After my first 24 hours of Skullgirls, I only found 3 things I don't like: Double (all that morphing gives me a headache), Big Band's guard point punch (it is so damn easy to bait and you can see it come from a mile, it looks like they made it the classic "noobs just spam this" move on purpose) and Marie (I hate the whole concept of "boss with no hitstun"). Everything else is awesome and I love very much.

  11. Random Cold Steel thought #16: you know, Jusis makes a damn good point. Selflessness IS unnatural: every living being has a built-in survival instinct, so putting someone's well-being over your own is something extraordinary. Therefore, if you CONSTANTLY try to be selfless at all costs, you'll come off as arrogant, as someone who is just playing the hero to be praised.

    1. Pandalex12

      Pandalex12

      And then you have me who thinks selflessness is a form of selfishness since in the end you're satisfying your own values (even though it may be good)

    2. Chevaleresse

      Chevaleresse

      Actually, altruistic behavior is present in virtually all social animals. It's self-propagating once it reaches a certain amount of spread in the population since typically altuism happens at a low relative cost to the giver and a high relative gain for the reciever. Being on both sides of these exchanges improves fitness.

    3. AuthorReborn

      AuthorReborn

      Selflessness in the short term often leads to a stronger whole in the long term, while this idea also works, often time the supposedly selfless action is somewhat designed and enacted for the benefit of the one carrying out the action and their whole in particular through gratitude and a desire to return on a debt.

  12. I finally got around to playing Skullgirls and... Well, while I don't particularly care for over the top plots and gore used for black comedy, I must say that, from a strictly mechanical point of view, it's got to be the best 2D fighting game I have ever played.

    1. FraRPetO

      FraRPetO

      ...who cares about plot in fighting games?

    2. Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~

      Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~

      More people playing Skullgirls is always welcome, as the community is quite small but friendly. What grill(s) do you play?

    3. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      None yet, Pyon. I started literally 12 hours ago, so I am still trying to figure out which one fits my mindset the most. Squigly and Filia are those who have caught my attention so far.

  13. Random Cold Steel thought #15: Rean's interactions with Emma nver cease to baffle me. She isn't even TRYING to hide her true nature, yet this guy, who I remind you could see through an elaborate government conspiracy last chapter, now is somehow unable to see through some of the most painfully blatant lies I have ever heard.

  14. Random Cold Steel thought #14: Angelica is a walking injustice. Smart, independent, strong-willed, carefree, open-minded, ridiculously hot, brutal in battle: pratically the perfect woman. And of course she just so happens to be lesbian, meaning she's not among the romantic options <.<

    1. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      lol. She actually teases you cruelly at one point, first offering to let you ride with her on her bike so that you can "have a good feel" of her body, then revealing that she's lesbian and shooting you down. She then proceeds to openly flirt with two love interests of yours right in front of you.

    2. YinYang9705

      YinYang9705

      What a bitchy thing to do

    3. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      She's very playful about it, so she still comes off as likeable. Then you find out about her family, and you just want to give her a hug. Plus, she has one of the most amazing rear sides in the history of videogames, which also helps lol

  15. Random Cold Steel thought #13: level 14 Rean can actually dodge attacks from level 45 Sara, and land hits on her. Power of NG+, sure, but the fact that he is inherently OP must have played a role, too.

  16. Random Cold Steel thought #12: since a tsundere heroine wasn't enough, now we get a tsundere cat.

    1. Commander

      Commander

      Should've seen me when I said Cold Steel was like Code Geass. By the end, I was saying there was no possible way the creators hadn't seen that show.

    2. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      I actually see lots of parallels between this game and various anime. I will agree there are many Code Geass references (C is basically Zero), I also notice other references to other shows. For example, Alisa is basically Lucy from Fairy Tail.

      Is that Miku in the background?

      looks like Miku

  19. Ok, as part of my "modern 5D's decks" idea, I finally figured out Aki, Leo and Luna, and also the Nordic trio while at it. However, now I am faced with an even bigger challenge: Carly. How the hell do you make a functional Synchro deck with friggin' Fortune Ladies?

    1. Cepheus

      Cepheus

      Fortune Ladies are annyoing as they are... xD

      god FL Light and Fire combos are soooo annoying...

    2. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      Yeah, except they rely like crazy on that field spell...

    3. Cepheus

      Cepheus

      That's why you have Terraforming and 3 of those field spells :P

  20. Random Cold Steel thought #11: you know, it's funny. The game's main plot goes out of its way to push Alisa as the canon love interest, but when it comes to the bonding events, Emma is the one who has the explicitly romantic ones...

  21. Random Cold Steel though #10: am I weird for finding the fishing minigame to be absolutely addicting?

    1. Commander

      Commander

      Remember the Festival? I spent waaayyy too much time playing a certain minigame which is a shipper's dream come true.

    2. Pandalex12

      Pandalex12

      You're making me hyped to buy this with the money I don't have ^.^

    3. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      lol Panda.

      And Commander, the festival IN GENERAL is a shipper's dream come true :P

  22. Random Cold Steel thought #9: Claire's nickname is "the Icy Maiden", but she's so damn hot.

    1. YinYang9705

      YinYang9705

      It cant even describe her personality because she's so damn aggresive

    2. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      She does have icy blue hair... I guess that is a possible reason? I personally am attracted more by other... Uh... "sides of her personality". If you know what I mean.

  23. Random Cold Steel thought #8: while I appreciate that they would justify the existance of healing spots in-universe (they are apparently "charging stations" for the devices you use in battle), this does beg the question: who the hell installed such charging stations in deep forests, abandoned dungeons, underground cavers, and the likes?

    1. Sutoratosu

      Sutoratosu

      A wandering Technician with too much time on his hands and the desire to install shit every where he could burning in his heart.

    2. Sutoratosu

      Sutoratosu

      Also, just as an aside- It's all suspension of disbelief man. Folks aren't supposed to go questioning and scrutinizing all the minute details of the world, hence why the story is there to distract people from focusing too long on said minor things.

    3. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      I know, I am just poking fun at a game I like: you should know by know that I enjoy doing that :P

  24. http://i.imgur.com/qppoEmZ.jpg Of all the decks I am creating as part of my reimagining of 5D's, Jack's is the one I am the most proud of.
