General Chat: Dawn of THE FIRST DAY (72 hours remain)

aight I'm online
Drega (and other peeps with kiu) hasn't/haven't answered so shrug
NOW LESSGO I made a room

Level 9 cpus I hope! Because without other humans we need the challenge

EDIT: is this a 1-on-1 thingy, or a 3v3, or 6 player thing? Most of my weapons are actually best on LVDs, since Guardians and Staves are good at team support!

...or I could try my Eyetracks I guess

I DEMAND A FUCKIN' REMATCH THAT WAS BULLSHIT

Which one specifically

Also man LVD with CPUS I like multiplayer!!


e: whoof that was intense! Never played with anybody on that stage before.

AAAAA
STOP BEING SO RANGED DANGIT

LETS TRY EYETRACKS!!!

EDIT: "Spark has left".

Yep, that's actually the appropriate response to Eyetracks. They're borked as shit.

nope.

I'd have added several successive nopes. My Eyetracks at least are fairly regular: Max ranged, +3 homing and range, nothing too special. Those Japanese players though... +6 forward dash shot, +6 full health boost, + 4 evasion... then -3 defense because why not? Crazy difficult. But honestly I only ever use the Eyetracks against other Eyetrack users, or when the players are so bad my Staff would get the same win ratio. They are completely broken.

Edit: bed_time for d_what! Captain's online though, maybe he has games to play

So basically
I'm FUCKIN' BOSS at Smash because I have fought against Ninte and Gela
and u wreck me at KIU because u actually keep ur distance instead of rushing in like AAAAAAAA
nice.

Ehhhhh

For the laz0rs, yes definitely. But that's just part of the weapon. If I'm up close, or surrounded, it's not too useful unless I can line up the opponent with a forward dash charge shot (that's usually a close-range OHKO, though not always). The laser staff has the second highest range of any weapon, and mine has range/homing +3, so I'd be mad not to abuse it.

For the orbitars, surprisingly not. I'll only ever go ranged if I'm out in the open and it's too easy to dodge the shields, or if I'm between charged shots. Most of the time, I prefer being up-close and against a wall, before back-flipping into a backwards-dash charge shot. And that's almost as close-range as you can get! But the Guardian Orbitars really depend on the opponent and the arena. They're not too great in the open if I can get surrounded.

Uhh. Eyetracks don't really care where anybody is, they're a whirling maelstrom of death in any scenario, as long as I have slip shot activated T_T

I don't have any weapons that I find good at Melee, but that's because it's a whole other field of study that I haven't really looked at. I've a +4/+4 6 Melee Crusader Blade that has an absurdly powerful dash attack, but I don't know enough about a Melee to be any good at landing them. I'm really just ranged out of habit and circumstance really.

Well I mean
You keep your distance with the orbitars still because the charge shots don't let me get close
I don't mean being actually FAR AWAY ranged, that's w the lasers, the orbitars just. don't let me get close enough to get a hit in despite being relatively close-ranged

Aw man, I was out all day yesterday and

Yeah

I play KI:U

It's okay Octi, we'll play some other time I'm around often enough anyway. Also, don't I need to give you an Umbreon or something...?

D, that is an incredible drawing, you are REALLY good

You're just sayin' that because I drew a gengar

Udpated: (kept the typo)

Spoiler:

No, I am saying that because your use of colour is breathtaking

Man, that really is amazing, D

I'll try to get on sometime tomorrow, though I do get out of work a bit late and need to do a bit of grocery shopping sometime this week...

Fin!

Spoiler:

Today has been a good day. My sister came back from staying in Maryland (US) for the summer to provide family support for my mom (Surgery), but more important than that, she has provided me with family Ritz crackers. The UK branch changed the recipe drastically a few years ago and they're inedible now... whereas before, they were one of my staples! And I have a fairly srs eating disorder so when I say staple I mean staple Which is why a suitcase full of Ritz is such a great thing. Wonderful

Seriously if any of you guys "over the pond" ever somehow come across my address, just ship over a few boxes and I won't even mind that I'm being stalked.

Your mom had surgery? I hope everything's all right. And dude, you are a wicked good artist. Meanwhile, I'm lucky if my skills surpass Caliborn's.

Nah, my mom's going for surgery on Friday. It's... pretty big surgery, best case scenario is 3 hours but more than likely all day. But the prognosis is 98% positive, and so am I! Nevertheless my mom wanted the emotional support, which is fair, so we'll be staying in hospital accommodation for the following two weeks

Gosh yes Caliborn I haven't thought about him in ages You know, I think one of the reasons he makes such a great villain is because he's a successful character, as a person. He set out being so against friendship or art or whatever, and then set out (accidentally or not) to improve those things. And while he may be a shit friend or a... unique artist, he's still improved. You gotta hand it to him. *rainbows*and the moral of the story is, everyone can learn 2 draw!*rainbows*

I like drawing and I am not caliborn levels of bad but I am not good either.

There is one drawing I once made that I really like but I have no idea how that happened. It was like "Wow, this looks really good, how the hell did I do this" and the next drawing was "Wow, oh my god, I'm never gonna draw something nearly as good as that other picture, am I?" and true enough, so far, none of my pictures have surpassed it. I drew it almost five years ago and nothing has surpassed it yet and as much as I like that picture, it frustrates me...

I always hate when I make something good, don't know how I made it so good and then never manage to surpass it, it's THE worst feeling for me. Okay, that might be hyperbole but it feels pretty aweful.

uhh art-wise my best digitally is prolly like. this?
or, in that caliborn note, this
or some pic of this thing I did for a school thing maybe??? Idk I'm just posting random art

I haven't been much in the mood to draw lately but I did do some today which is. good?
and like. my computer is broken so I can't draw digitally for now unfortunately
but yeh for a buncha random drawings and artshits this should have 'em all if anyone's interested

I don't draw digitally, though I probably should, since I did buy that drawing tablet thing...

I mostly just draw using a pencil.

Uhh. Were any of you guys aware that this was a thing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOXW-TUQhcw

And also apparently the Sonic amiibo is gonna unlock a playable Sonic in Hyrule Warriors (soon for 3DS), and after that video, I'd believe it?

Just. Zelda x Sonic. Would not have guessed it.
