basically a lot of passives in Masters have a percent chance to activate, which is (their “rank” + 1) * 10%.

BUT. Certain other passives instead have their rank describe their intensity. Especially for some Move Up Next effects.

So the wires got crossed and Lear can get +360% damage four times.

I’d like to dedicate this to Intern-kun, who decided to parse “Team Special Boost 9” as “give nine ranks of Special Move Up” instead of “100% chance of giving one rank of Special Move Up”

(wow that sounds absurd to anyone who doesn’t play Masters)

Monster Eye DARK/Fiend/Effect/Level 1 ATK 250/DEF 350 You can pay 1000 Life Points; add 1 "Polymerization" from your Graveyard to your hand.

Type Zero Magic Crusher Continuous Trap Card Discard 1 Spell card from your hand to inflict 500 ppints of damage to your opponent's Life Points.

glad i'm watching Duel Links mostly from afar now because it's incredibly funny to see these two cards - which I am fully convinced have never seen the light of day in the physical game - be used for a FTK. i am in awe at the ingenuity of players

but also i don't want to deal with the FTK

tiny and cute... i love her

this is also very true… it certainly gets huge when it Mega Evolves, as well (more than *doubling* in height)

I was mostly thinking of the pun because lord knows they make plenty of decisions based on that (ex. U-Turn - whose Japanese name includes the word for “dragonfly” - being Bug-type) :V

“why assume it gets Huge Power at all” its BST is 40 points higher than it “should” be by Mega standards, and Mega Mawile (Huge Power) and Mega Medicham (basically Huge Power) also got boosts that correspond with it

game theory: Mega Starmie is getting Huge Power specifically as another take on the “chika-ra mochi (Huge Power’s Japanese name)-> fortifying mochi -> moon rabbits (that make mochi) -> rabbits get this ability” joke (it’s not a rabbit but it IS from space)

do you think it’s weird Alpha Pumpkaboo/Gourgeist aren’t Jumbo Size by definition (at least, the fixed one isn’t)

or more broadly that it isn’t tied to size class, though I get that mooooore just game development wise (since it predates the broader size system)

it’s an Actual, Honest To God Sequel, if that’s what you mean

had a game where the shadow cast dark regen on himself in the light room

and somehow the other light person voted for me??

hate the shroom, not the shroomer

here’s my contribution to any discussion about Wild Zone 17: the fucking Pyroar firing Earth Powers at my ass even once I get out of dodge

had a dream last night that I found out we sold sushi at the store I worked at

…Keep in mind that I work at an *Italian* import grocery store.

1: Zasha, currently playing the role as the shadow, casts Dark Slash on the space Bartolomeus (who is directly in front of him) is currently occupying. 2: Zasha muses that his plan is perfect, getting Bartolomeus out of his hair. 3: Bartolomeus casts Heal Pull, switching his and Zasha's locations and giving Zasha a minor heal. 4: This does not help Zasha, as Dark Slash actually goes off, dealing 97 points of damage.

The same four panels as the last page (this is called repetition and the fact that there's a fancy literature term for it means I'm justified in doing so). The only difference is that Zasha is, instead, in front of Bartolomeus, which means that Bartolomeus is the one healed by Heal Pull and thus making it an even worse proposition for Zasha.

this went on for far too long

1: the axe-wielding enemy will attack me (Kurt). 2: in order to avoid this, I use Minor Pull, a skill which swaps the contents of two spaces (despite the name). this moves me forward one spot and moves the axe enemy to where I was. 3: the enemy is still attacking the space in front of him, which is now my teammate, bart(olomeus) 4: panic sets in as bartolomeus is targeted by shadow magic, which turns out to be fatal in combination with the enemy's autoattack

did a 500 IQ play in Shadows that wound up accidentally killing my light side teammate. whoopsies

Tuff/Bun from Kirby: Right Back At Ya!, rejoicing that Notte has apparently turned into her Fire form (NOTE: said Notte does not actually exist).

Meta Knight corrects him, saying that Notte is in "terrible pain" because the burger was too spicy. (In the actual show, Kirby had just ingested curry that makes him breathe fire, as a reference to the Superspicy Curry item from Kirby's Dream Land, which allowed him to breathe fire before Copy Abilities were formally introduced.)

(pic is very cute, to be clear, though I might be a bit biased because it's Notte :V)

pov: you've just clicked on an unassuming youtube link in 2005

The King Dedede Transformer:

Dedede wages battle to destroy the evil forces of… that there Kirby

that's an alpha Togepi, clearly (ignore the fact that alpha Togepis are 2'9")

(the boring not-fun answer is that it's a mix of Volo being chibi when you can't quite do that with Togepi as well as it looking better for the sticker :V)

the placement of Gengar’s held item feels far too perfect

i just wish it was clearer on what using a Plus Move DID

i like that the mega gauge in Z-A has a dual purpose in letting your Pokémon use Plus Moves as well

it's *better* to use it for Mega Evolutions (because Mega Evolved Pokémon *always* use Plus Moves) but it doesn't screw you over if you don't want to use a Mega Evolution-capable Pokémon as much

on the one hand story doesn’t matter as much to me for how I enjoy a game

on the other hand I still READ IT

just had two people at work say they didn’t like reading story in video games I’m about to throw hands

at an Italian grocery store (for work)
