Following Wonder, the upcoming Mario Kart seems to be going for a "rounder" look as well.

It's almost giving off a more... classic vibe.

Perhaps they're planning a subtle redesign of the entire series?

JUST LOOK AT DONKEY KONG

I find the comparison between the new and old Rapidash quite interesting.

They don't really compete with each other. The old Rapidash still fills its niche as a great Stage 1 that mitigates the disadvantage of starting the first turn with a heads quite well, since we can evolve it first on the third turn, and with the cost of just one energy we're already set to focus on powering up our other Pokémon on the bench.

The new Rapidash... Definitely scary. Potentially ONE HUNDRED DAMAGE for a measly 2 energies, or even 130 damage with Blaine.

But this is mitigated by the fact that there's a 50% chance of doing the same damage as the other Rapidash, but at double the energy cost. Definitely not for those who don't appreciate RNG, as a large part of its damage depends on it.

Shadow & Jojo

Immediately after the second movie, I've made the pencil sketch for this idea I had for this scene, a prediction I made in case Amy doesn't appear in Sonic 3.

I asked myself "But wait... If Amy doesn't appear... Who's gonna make Shadow remember Maria's true words?"

#Sonic #sonicthehedgehog #SonicMovie #SonicMovie3 #ShadowTheHedgehog #Maria #pencildrawing #comic #fanart #prediction #Sega

I think that having the same girl that gave Sonic his iconic shoes in the first movie be the one that reminds Shadow of THAT other girl and help him move forward as well would be a terrific way to neatly close the circle.

After the sketch, I procrastinated… until today.

... So for 2 years!?

Well, we'll see if I'll be right!

(I'm super done with traditional coloring lol)

Street Fighter 6 has an immaculate game feel

I haven't relatively played too much of it yet (only ~20 hours), but it's... Just too good.

I've never had a game make me feel so... Connected with the other player. I just feel like we're having a conversation while battling.

The fact that it's also so welcoming for newcomers helps, the new characters target combos remind me a lot of Dragon Ball FighterZ auto-combos, where you can cancel the final hit into a special.

I've played thousands of hours in Smash Bros and FighterZ (and dozens in Strive), so I'm used to true inputs, but I still prefer to play with Modern (as of now) just because I like choosing to do true-input-Supers mid-combo, while doing the shortcut for punish. Even if it means -20% damage, having no executional barrier is such a strong component in these moments.

I always liked to look at stuff like charts that compared different fighting games' skill floors. Usually, Smash is at the lower extreme while most FGs are at the other and FighterZ is closer to Smash.

I'd say that SF6's one is a bit higher than FighterZ, but not by a long shot. You really feel like you're starting to learn stuff and make decisions from the very first moment.

Also, this doesn't even need to be addressed, but the art is top notch. All the character look beautiful, this time the men look unironically attractive, not only the women, ALL of the new characters have good looks and personalities (which is a new in SF at least for me), almost ALL of the veterans have brave yet beautiful redesigns. The attacks REALLY feel like they hurt, especially the Level 3s.

I've reached the point where I'm either playing the game or looking forward to play it.

Winning is ecstatic, losing is... Fun!? Like, when I lose in this game, I never feel frustrated and more like "Damn, I'll get 'em good next time!!"

They used literal black magic for the netcode. I get it that it's rollback, but I would've never expected to see myself playing online with someone from another continent while using my phone as a router and STILL having a better experience compared to other aforementioned games played in Lan.

I want to have a long journey... With all these characters. ✨

"Drive" is a cool-as-heck name for a mechanic and if your game has a Drive Gauge you know it's gonna be fire

In 2023, the National Recording Registry of the US Library of Congress was updated to, for the first time in its history, include a piece of video game music, namely the Super Mario Bros. overworld theme. A description of the piece and reasons for its inclusion by the Library of Congress is provided.

Right?? I got the same vibes!! Glad to see Mario have the Kirby treatment at long last, after 11 years without a new 2D game

With Mario RPG and Mario Wonder I dare to say that the internal mandates that standardized and sanitized Mario are officially, finally, totally over, and I'm ALL FOR IT.
