No way. I want a followup to SM Supers for the Super Famicom. Just nerf Uranus's forward dash this time.

Stopping Uranus from being broken as Ivan Ooze would force you to remove her from the game anyway. Gaia Crash just did way too much damage and she could do it anytime she wanted. Her whole gameplan is Blockstun\Forward Dash Crossup -> Gaia Crash. The rest of the Senshi can be competitive because the game is built for fireball zoning and some characters have corner shenanigans for large damage. However all of this flies out of the window as soon as Uranus finds her way to CULO LAND!!! Guess wrong 3 times and you lose. Without playing Uranus the game becomes a bit more competitive because only 3 characters really need to worry about rushing down and have ways around fireballs or can wage war themselves anyway. Moon needs to get in so she can Sonic Scream you to death. Venus while having a good fireball in S, Love Me Chain does way more damage and the less she tries to rely on Love and Beauty shock in SuperS the better. And Jupiter loves CULO LAND because she's Uranus without a way to constantly land her throws. But once she gets in she can kill you. Both of the fighters for the SNES were good. I've always wanted to play the ones for the 3DO, Saturn and PS1. I might just have to do that.

I'm more concerned about the fact that Uranus can easily get around the only thing that limits combos in that game. Other considerations might lead to an ASW style rework but that's fine if you ask me.

I think as far as problem characters go Saturn is next on the list, but she folds if you can successfully get close and stay there the entire round. Unless you're Jupiter.

Moon needs to get in so she can Sonic Scream you to death.

That move has like a billion active frames. LOL

Venus while having a good fireball in S, Love Me Chain does way more damage and the less she tries to rely on Love and Beauty shock in SuperS the better.

She can also play SF4 and use her chain as a dive kick.

And Jupiter loves CULO LAND because she's Uranus without a way to constantly land her throws. But once she gets in she can kill you.

She has a good TKable range move that actually works well against Saturn.

Both of the fighters for the SNES were good. I've always wanted to play the ones for the 3DO, Saturn and PS1. I might just have to do that.

They're really bad. Not at all like the SFC games and horribly slow and janky.

Forward Dash Combos are pretty nasty with her. Still in high level play her only goal is to land 3 Gaia Crashes. Anything else she does with a forward dash is nothing but setting up opportunities to stay on offense.

Saturn isn't really dangerous until she has her DM ready to use. Her fireball game is very good at keeping the rest of the cast out but like you say once you get in on her she has no chance.

That move has like a billion active frames. LOL

You're right. But the correct setup and she can kill with it. Didn't know this until I saw a match vid of it happening. And before that I thought Moon was complete garbage in both games.

She can also play SF4 and use her chain as a dive kick.

And that how the chain is used in high level play. But I think it works more as a pressure tool to get in and use the Love Me Chain versus an actual way to do damage.

Jupiter is such a beast. Top 3 in the game easy. She has everything she needs to be the best character in the game except for way to start her rushdown without having to put herself in danger first. She's right there with Saturn for 2-3 in game just because of her diverse movelist.

They're really bad. Not at all like the SFC games and horribly slow and janky.

I've never been one to shy from a fighter so giving them a try for a minute couldn't kill me, right?

I own the Saturn fighter. It's pretty bad.

Great music though.

Sounds like Mercury, who is also not as weak as she first seems. Shine Aqua Illusion lockdown all day, although it's hard to make it tight.

Haha, indeed.
 
the more i think of it a high budget sailor moon action game would be pretty dope. maybe with strategic elements like commanding the other squad members (taking the enemies sight with mercury, blocking paths with fire from mars) etc.
 
It just occured to me that Takanori Arisawa, the man responsible for 99% of all anime-related Sailor Moon music, passed away in 2005. :(

Mars needs to be much higher.

Yes she does and its kinda odd that she's not getting more love in this site. Every other site I've been to just about she is the most popular scout and even when I used to watch it on toonami she was the the main girl. I mean its obvious she's the most popular overall so whatever.

I know what it is,I think people are just trying to resist just because she's so popular. You can't resist it,i'll burn it in your souls.

lmao

A youtube parody series, SMA, made me realise she wasn't even as smart as she was made out to be.

edit// I should mention that despite being useless, she has still become a clear fan favorite. She's the only one of the scouts to have her own episode and a special attack
:3
 
I"m all for that especially since the snes sailormoon fighters were pretty good for sf rip offs. Any ideas who should do it if they were to try? Arc systems would be my best bet but should it be a real fighter or a game like naurto or dbz fighting games?
 
It's clear by now that Japan studios are noticing the success of American studios with ~15 year old franchise revivals.

This and the new (CANON) Dragonball Z movie:

Certainly suggest a '90s focus.

All we need is a Gundam and Ranma remake and every early anime is complete.
 
It's pointless to remake a Gundam series when pretty much every series treads the same themes, and character arcs. As for Ranma no one wants that.

After this Dragon Ball just needs to make a new series. It's fresh in its mythology to create a whole new storyline in another galaxy, another era, etc.

ONTOPIC: My EX is going nuts over this announcement.
 
I completely missed this, squeeeeee :D I loved Sailor Moon so much as a kid (and the french dub had a hilarious censorship which made one of the sailor a dude who turned into a girl when transforming)

Depending on the season you're talking about that may have not been censorship, lol.

Hmm it was one of the later season I think, there's these two new Sailor who are maybe lesbians or something, and in the french dub one of them is a guy. (the short haired blond one)

Or maybe I'm just misremembering things >.>

thats uranus and neptun! and uranus looks like a guy and everyone thinks she is one, but they are lesbians.

later on there are the sailor starlights who actually are male in the anime version and turn female when transforming

Is Sailor Moon in terms of quality more Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z?
Click to expand...

hard to say. sailor moon has atrocious amounts of filler episodes and repeated animation-sequences in every episode. but the story episodes are usually really interesting and have funny and sad moments.

I'd like to do a rewatch, but I wonder if there is a list that tells me which are the story episodes

If you break the Sailor Moon anime into "story" and "filler" then you're missing the point. Story is divulged gradually in bits while the main attraction is the antics that occur on an episodic basis.

Accordingly, the show starts out fairly slow but picks up when both Rei and Ami are around to fuel character interaction. That said, episode 6 is a great ep despite that. (*gasp* not a story ep either!)
 
Takao said:
There isn't even an English dub of Stars.
Click to expand...

I've heard there were fan dubs available, and I saw a good trailer for one that sounded just like the DiC voices which piqued my interest.

So, there are none, or people are saying there are no good ones?

Tsundere need not apply to the upper half of my list.

Outside of the 1st(and maybe 2nd season) I don't think I'd call Mars a Tsundere either.

I didn't know she was that popular but I always liked Mars.

Most of the Japanese titles are pretty self explanatory. Most of them reveal what will actually happen in the episode or you can take a good guess.

This is coming from the same girls who can't seem to recognize each other when they transform to their civilian identity. Although in the latter seasons Mercury was actually pretty intelligent.

I decided to do a brief rewatching of the series since I actually never saw anything past S. Having done that I'll say that Nehellenia's arc was probably my favorite arc which takes place from SuperS to Stars. If they do a reboot, I hope they restructure things. There were a lot of plot themes and ideas that were done over multiple times. Granted each one was slightly different, I felt it got a bit annoying. I was a little unsatisfied with ChibiChibi and Sailor Galaxia's arc in Stars. Also, Uranus and Neptune are idiots for killing Saturn(and Pluto) the only sailor scout capable of killing someone.

NEW INFO!
a12PF.gif

Breaking news: Sailor Moon eyeliner, gashapon, apparel, and more! I’m pressed for time today, but here’s some breaking news from the August 2013 issue of Nakayoshi magazine, which goes on sale in Japan today.

Momoiro Clover Z, the JPOP idol group who is confirmed to be performing the new Sailor Moon anime theme song, will be having a concert August 4th in which they will be making an announcement regarding the new Sailor Moon anime series. The flyer recaps Momoclo’s performance in Paris during the 20th anniversary Niconico Douga live stream event in which the new Sailor Moon anime was announced, and gives ticket information and concert schedule for Momoiro Clover Z’s upcoming tour.

borhmlwcmaauecw2fsnh.jpg


This flyer confirms a few cool things. First, new merchandise. We will be receiving:
new Sailor Moon apparel
new Sailor Moon eyeliner
new Sailor Moon gashapon
new DVD box set

Plus, it says that the new merchandise is aimed towards young women in the 20s. Which we kind of already knew, but hey, an official confirmation is nice.

There’s also some information about when the new anime series will premiere. It says that the series is officially in production, and will be scheduled to begin sometime between this November and January of 2014.

Sounds pretty cool! My copy of Nakayoshi magazine for this announcement is here, so I’ll be making a more detailed post about this tonight. There’s some information about the release dates for the new Sailor Moon 20th anniversary figurines, as well as release dates for some of the previously announced new Sailor Moon merchandise like the Shining Moon Powder compact, the Nail Collection, the smart phone cases, etc. Nothing too revolutionary, everything that is new I’ve listed above.

I’m especially eager to see the new Sailor Moon eyeliner and new Sailor Moon apparel that is referenced in the release schedule, but the gashapon are super adorable as well. I bet collectors are going to go nuts over that! :)

Since they're aiming it towards an older crowd they should age everyone up about 10-15 years from their previous incarnations.

Make it a bit more gritty.

Have lots of house music, because Naoko loves it, and let her direct and have more creative control over the show.

One thing that isn't explored in anime (as far as I know of atm) is the difficulty of being a magical girl who is freaking grown up. They should totally go there.

New series, new outlook, time jump, new soundtracks, more direct involvement.... yeah it would be good.
