Sol feeling kinda nice in the lab….and it never hurts to have a counter pick….👀

Yeah, after playing on Celestial pretty much exclusively for awhile now I gotta say I’m definitely feeling his weaknesses a lot more against Millia and Chipp. Ram doesn’t really have to take many risks to gas Nago out either. Floor 10 and Heaven are def on a much different league than any of the other floors. It really doesn’t feel like most people are even trying below those lol. But it’s nice to be able to freely go in and out of Heaven once you get VIP. It’s definitely valuable getting to fight all the good players up here.

So that’s why she can air dash so much…. 😩

Yeah Millia stole em’ and ate em all, that’s where 👀

I weathered many Rams and flowchart Millias for this bag. 😩 We stay gatekeeping celestial now ✊🏾

That’s amazing lol

This character gets some pretty nutty damage off some pretty nutty buttons. Good to see my mains clocking in the damage they deserve 😎

Bruh I’m sorry but this is you right now with this thread title

Pot is a gorilla over Sol? Uh, aight lol They patched it into DBFZ later on, they damn well better do the same for this game. Hard to believe we’re not at the point yet where this feature is just an assumed inclusion in your fighting game. 🙄

So why are they launching Skwyard Sword HD? According to the thread title I’m missing something

Spoken like a true straight edge who’s never smoked once in his life , bless 🙌🏾

Nowhere does it imply Samus is working with the Galactic Federation. All it says is they found footage of the SA-X existing on ZDR and deployed a unit of research robots that never returned. Samus is investigating of her own accord. With the Chozo thing it’s really just a guess. Though it’d be really weird to have that tease at the end of the Samus Returns remake only to have a totally unrelated group of “nice” Chozo show up and help her out. I got it backwards. The Metroids are predators of SA-X not the other way around. The second answer is probably the more likely one anyway. Since she has both types of DNA in her, maybe they want to biologically weaponize her unique DNA.

Why? Sounds like a great setup for what they’re trying to do imo. My guess is these rogue Chozo took over the robots sent down to ZDR and force them to attack Samus. The only motivation I can think of are one of two things. 1. They want to kill Samus, whom, being infected with the SA-X now makes her a natural predator of their own creations: Metroids. or 2. They want her suit (or maybe even her body) to harness the power of SA-X like she can. After all she’s the only organic life form that can not only resist it’s effects, but use them symbiotically. Can’t see what other benefit killing her would pose to them.

This dude said “mildly” 😂

Yeah you keep telling yourself that bro

I forgot this game exists for a second there

Yeah it literally only plugged into the Wii to power the lights inside it. It’s actually surprising how simple but effective the technology is.

Nah I’m on pad. I was only looking into different control methods in case I decide to emulate Corruption. I’ll probably just end up buying a Wii remote and syncing that through Bluetooth honestly. Would like as genuine of an experience as possible

Way ahead of ya. Have you played into Zero Mission any more? I only got to play Prime for like an hour yesterday but I’m already at Magmoor Caverns. I will never forget Tallon IV’s map man, it’s burned into my skull. Dolphin is really something else. Playing the game in 4K really brings out the details this game always had. I’m constantly amazed that a 20 year old game plays so fluently and manages to cram so much detail into every nook and cranny. The fog or drops of water on Samus’ visor, the clever ways they use volumetric lighting to add atmosphere….it’s all stuff we take for granted now but it’s so cool to see these conventions show up so long ago. Probably just end up beating it today. Unless I get discouraged by the 12 Artifact hunt…..

I’m never coming back to this thread ever again

I really need to get around to beating the second Lords of Shadow. I loved the first game even though I felt like the end dragged on a tad too long. Isn’t the sequel more of a Metroid/Castlevania style game?

Zero Mission is so damn good. Totally what a remake should always strive to be. A re imagining that doesn’t completely trample over the original game’s vision.

Man Samus goes through more changes on a cellular level than even Bruce Banner. The Chozo enhanced her strength through cellular manipulation. Then she becomes corrupted with Phazon. Then she has to play host to the X Parasite which even further altered her DNA. The only reason she’s probably even still alive now is because of the way the Chozo groomed her into a super human. Much like how she could absorb bits of the parasite in Fusion, I assume she can still take advantage of it somehow with her altered DNA.
