Maybe it's because you get him so late in the game, and at this point I was rushing to finish the game as soon as possible, but I had no idea that all of Black's skills are available from the start. I never even thought to try a stinger move or a cyclone! They look extremely useful too. For some reason, I constantly used the bomb power as a secondary while I had the hand/sword out. I can see now though that the opposite is probably much easier to do and just as effective.

I thought it was because the bomb doesn't do enough damage, what with being more of a utility than a direct weapon, to level up like other weapons. The fact that all its upgrade are just slight variations of how to throw the bomb would make it less rewarding to level.

Pomp posted:Yeah, I actually didn't even register at the natives when I saw them. They're so far outside of modern stereotypes that it'd be like having a bunch of red haired mongoloids called "Irishman." If you guys think the natives with their tiki masks are a horrible racist stereotype, I got some bad news about the Magic Kingdom for you.

Instead of talking about puns that are spoilers, how about we talk about puns that aren't spoilers, like the ones from last two weeks: Ohdarko: 大蛸 (oodako), literally "big octopus". Koh-Tumeekey: 小積木 (kotsumiki), small toy blocks. Doora: 虎 (tora), tiger. Kaizor Ohrowchee: we've seen an Ohrowchee before, but the Kaizor in this one's name comes from 改造 (kaizou), meaning "remodeled" or "modded", as it's a cyborg clone of Laambo's Diekuu Ohrowchee. People who watch a lot of anime and such may recognize the word from the term "kaizou ningen" (literally "remodeled human"), which is often used to refer to cyborgs. "Kaizor" also happens to sound like "kaiser", which is, of course, German for emperor and... not necessarily all that fitting here considering how quickly it got mowed down by the Dakkar. Which reminds me, I think I forgot to cover Immorta's ship's name when it first showed up. Dakkar is actually one of the names I'm not really sure about - it could come from 奪回 (dakkai), meaning recovery or rescue and referencing Immorta's job as a police officer. There's also an enemy named Ducker (spelled exactly the same way in Japanese as Dakkar) in Gradius, and knowing Kamiya's love for old arcade games it could also be a reference to that.

As Immorta revealed that the Vorkken's 100 are there through intimidation, maybe he's Red's dad/Blue's brother/Luka's dad*, captured, put into a bionic suit for life support and being forced to fight for evil under standard threats. Is the scenario I outlined frequent in Sentai shows? Chewgi is going to be Wonder-Mole, CENTINEL special undercover agent. And yeah, Luka's deal totally has to be that his parents died during some alien attack and the Wonderfuls failed to save them. I mean, his first line is questioning how the Wonderful 100 can be so great when they can't even save "one person"

Wonder-White doesn't seem the type, and Nelson doesn't hide his identity. Regardless, Luka's missing parent(s) are obviously crucial somehow.

Given how much comic-book physics this game uses (and Silver Age comic book physics at that), I'm sure all those buildings were empty and due to be condemned as part of the Blossom City Urban Renewal Program.

Considering this is the third (?) time these guys have been invaded, I assume they probably have special evacuation protocols in place.

Admiral Nelson has been in a strictly office-bound role since his retirement from the Wonderful 100, and since his brother's weird project to control memetic information across the world with a series of five integrated AIs didn't really pan out.

It looks like the secret to Vorkken et al's success isn't the power of teamwork or anything like that- teamwork and fair play are immaterial. Their ship seems to just be giving them infinite health (which explains why you're always fighting them on it). This is making the "you're not good/cooperating enough" talk a really weird tone.
