That's the thing though, you're only looking at the cosmectic side of things. Fox blaster dosn't stun, so it's very easy to hav enemies rackup damage without them noticing. On the other hand, Falco's blaster is like a hot stove, one hit and the player will make sure they move away to avoid getting hit again.

From my play time, I've come to conclude that Pichu has a much better cling-rate compared to Pikachu. When it comes to comebacks, Pichu has more built-in save features then Pikachu in compareison. Add that to his already insane agility, and one can easily use the weakest character to be the most profitable.

Witht that said, Jiggypuff has gained massive respect with it's rollout move. The second best battles I've had, where either with or against Puff using rollout. Since the move can be evaeded quickly, it's quite funny to see who can preform the move without falling out.

And even if the move is dodged, with enough room, Jiggypuff can turn and still make contact! Hilarious to see in action!

F/ Your choice (which character do you think?)

None of the above. I wish there was more characcters, but those concidered as "clones" are themselfs as different as their clone.

Pichu is just amazingly fast and lots of combinations attacks in comparison with Pikachu. Luigi is his own man, and Dr. Mario is much stronger then Mario at the cost of speed.

Ganondorf and Capt. Falcon? COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STYLES. One's a tank, the other's is a bomb.

As far as the US is concerned, the 3-hit myth is just that, a myth.

A person does not need to be hit inorder to self-denfend. You can technicly hit back before getting hit yourself if you feel like you're about to be theatened by an attack.

The only limits to this is (as stated before) the ammount of force used, and what/where/who is casuing the problem. One must take into concideration that our laws feature the following word of Assault*. The inverse to the law is to pre-emptivly sub-due the one who is being threating of battery**.

*
- An unlawful threat or attempt to do bodily injury to another.
- The act or an instance of unlawfully threatening or attempting to injure another.
**
- The unlawful and unwanted touching or striking of one person by another, with the intention of bringing about a harmful or offensive contact.

It was fun for the first 10mins or so, but then became more of the same thing. I'll give the game credit in that it was well built and high quality of characters packeges (ie: voice, detail, movment) but in the end, it was nothing more then just a stealth game with bloody scenes as a reward.

I just don't see the hype after so much blood really.

BT (also known as BitTorrent) is a fairly aged server/client file sharing system which resembles something like the original napster system.

The BT technology requires three parts. The original file, the torrent, and the reader. The person or server hosting the file shares a much smaller file called a "Torrent" or "BitTorrent" file. This file is nothing more then just a regular text file with the information of the location of the original file and the data of it. (Size, time of creation, MD5 hash). By sharing the "Torrent" file, those who have a reader (BT Experimental, BURST, and BT++ to name a few) can open the BT file and proceed to download the original file in question from the network.

Here's the beauty of it. The file itself is shared from the server to everyone else downloading in random parts. People with these random parts are then connected to each other as well as the server. From there, what was once a Client/Server system turns into a P2P system as the network completes the file from downloading from others as well as from the server. So the server itself has most of it's load and bandwidth returned to it thanks to others sharing as well as downloading.

BT was never ment to turn into the thing that it is today with the illegal downloading. It was really ment to be used for much more corperate setting, but in either case, it has found it's way into the internet as a very useful technology.

Now here's the kicker. If you download illegal software using BT, then DON'T ADVERTISE ABOUT IT.

I played it on the Dreamcast, and proceded to throw a tantrum at the level of difficulty of the game. The last time I had a reaction like that, I was about 6 getting PWND in Super Mario Bros.

It's a freaking seriously great game. It really puts any "old-schooler" back in their place with a good kick-in-the-face difficulty.

I've always been a fan of Richu.

Wow, this thread is still around?!

I was meaning to make a post in it for a while, but everytime something weird happens. Anyway, let me move on:

First of all, one must understand that the "Paladin" was a mythical title durring the same time of King Auther. There was never any "real" Paladins, but the stories of such knights became popular thoughout France and it's neighboring countries at the same time the stories of King Aurthur and the Knights of the round table where spreading around the Britsh Isles.

The only thing is that the story of the Paladins dissappered into time, as Aurthur's was overall revived time and time again.

The "Paladin" was revitilized to it's highest point with the release of D&D. They are believed to have more connection to the church then to the King/Parlament of their time, thus today's image of a Paladin is more of a Defender then an Attacker compared to the Knight.

They both share the same respect for Honor and Chivalry. With that said, I would believe I find myself more aliged with the Paladins then with the Knights due to their aura of Spirituality.

(and no, I'm not aligned with a religion.)

I would like to make a late entry at the moment to offer my condolences today to the world. This day was not a US loss, but a global loss.

And yes, there have been many grievances we (the USA) have commited to others, but I ask for everyone to understand that what happened three years ago was not only our problem, but the world's problem as well.

With that said, I hope that our global NG community will show a little respect for the day. I've been very vocal with my opinions, but I also ask to put the polictics aside today as well, since tomarrow is when we rebuild from the ashes of the fallen.

I can only hope that peace can bring an end to the current violence in the world.

I had to shed my tears after I relized what my brother is in, and the facts (or lack of) that brought him and others into this disaster.

Hero:
I didn't cry, but it was an very emotional ending which not only did made perfect sense, but the finale climax of the movie made me love the characters even more, even though everyone reached their fate with little suffering.

Cowboy Bebop (Series):
Again, another downer, but it really brought peace back to the main character. Much like Hero, it was his fate, of which was welcomed with open arms and open wounds.

Strange enough, the Coke-Cola company has a good generator that's free for people to play with in a Habbo enviorment.

Likewise, the car company Scion also has a free music generator:
http://www.scion.com/live/free_stuff/free_stuff_main.html

It's not the most professional, but it's a start to understand the concepts of the better stuff like fruityloops.

Here's the thing though, everyone in this world perfers to hord money then to spend it.

The ones that spend the most though are the lower-income brackets due to percentages. (IE Bills = 60% - 80% of the total monthly earned) Those who have more money will spend on higher end products, but will not spend as much percentage wise.

Simply put, the economy is many based on the workers who use their take-home-pay to survive and entertain themself. Trickle down is suppost to give the workers more in the long run, but to believe in trickle down is as good as to believe in Communism. They both work in theroy, but humans have proven to be untrustworthy with such a concept.

HAHA. Kerry's a dumb fuck!

I didn't say anything about Kerry, I'm pointing out the fact that WE ARE HAVING MORE WORKING POOR THEN EVER BEFORE!

Wooking poor is the bigest paradox known to man, and yet we've achived it. We have people working two jobs just to marignally get by a month's bills, letalone provide anything else for their family.

SO IT IS TRUE, WE HAVE SEEN THE WORSE ECONOMY SINCE HOOVER

If you don't understand that, then please avoid all your social studies classes. From this point on, you have to be up with the currect events to pass the grade.
