iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I wanna try some other stuff at the start of the season because I've been running some variant of Dragonite/Archaludon/Politoed/Basculegion for the entirety of M-1. Fiddling with Mega Charizard X now because there's always gotta be a dragon. and I miss hard trick room...

Scizor was a late add and my rating skyrocketed after incorporating it. Threatening fairies at team selection is great, and on those rare games where I got a Swords Dance off it was really delightful to just click Bullet Punch until the game ended. Big Corphish the GOAT.

If I run the team again I might forsake the frog in favor of Pelipper. Politoed was my choice largely because Perish Song helps deal with Milotic stall and Mega Scovillain, but the higher I climbed the less of those I saw.

Inner Focus Dragonite and Stalwart Archaludon were absolutely meant to be closed teamsheet jumpscares. Dragonite taking Sneasler Fake-Out, only to not mega and rip a Hurricane after Basculegion Flip Turns into Politoed was never not funny. Flash Cannon-ing in Sinistcha's face won quite a few games.

Finished season M-1 at Master Ball Rank 2, barely in the top 9k for doubles! I fiddled with ranked a little bit in SV but this was the first time I really focused on improving and climbing. My goal for the season was just top 100k when I entered at like 160 so really pleased with the finish.

throw in sonic forces style campaign where your slightly uncanny OC becomes the team's new best friend and I'd rack up some ungodly hours

all the characters they showed off looked incredible and the vehicles and capital ships and everything even moreso hyped to play my favorite game for the nth time, sincerely (also the fox/falco "you up for another challenge" scene played and I felt a certain Energy pulse through the internet)

alright malding's out of my system the new models look great the new cutscenes are incredible food for me, the arwing is my favorite fighter in any sci-fi thing and I'm in love with the new look, all the personalizations they have, everything looks incredible. gripes aside I will be eating well

assault was good command just needed better writing zero just needed normal controls I promise you don't have to do 64 again you can do a new game

I have to stress I am star fox's strongest soldier I'm going to buy this literally just because the arwings look incredible and it really is that easy to get me but if you wanna play 64 you just can. if you want to play it remastered the 3DS had one. if you want a slight difference, Zero's there.

why is it just 64 again

you could say this abt any raid tier (minus endwalker’s), but i this raid series really is just “It is I… Deplorable Harold. The God of Deprivation.” and ten people will go “HOLY SHIT!!!!”

It's rough if your goal is to play endgame/current content with your friends but imo best way to play it is at your own pace getting what you want out of it Also like most xiv players would be immensely hyped to watch someone else watch cutscenes for the first time

Watching someone play through Um Jammer Lammy put me in the mood to do some doodles of the characters. #UmJammerLammy

Made it into master ball in Champions! At the lofty position of, uh, 105k. But still! I was just hoping to make it into the tier before the Grand Champions Festival this weekend, where I expect to get Utterly Folded
