Yes.
Yeah 8 hits on both Sonic 2's Mecha Sonics.
This reminds me, I like Silver's Sonic battle more than Mecha Sonic one. At least in the 8-bit version you can bounce back when both are rolling, it was kind of cool.
When Silver Sonic is hovering down towards you, go to the corner where he's going to land at. Start revving up a spin dash and burst away when he's about to touchdown. You'll get three easy hits right there.

Corvo, I almost forgot what T3B was.
Now I'm reminded. Man, I loved Aya when I was younger. Then T3B's narrative happened. It's a shame because the game part of the game isn't that bad.
Why would they change the gameplay now when the game's been in development for over a year, and it's coming out this fall in Japan? The game never appealed to me from the minute I saw how boring and one-note the combat was in the first trailer. But yeah, if the gameplay were changed to what I'd had in mind prior to seeing the first trailer and going from what I knew from Famitsu/Dengeki/the presentation prior to that, I certainly wouldn't be as sour towards it.
Toriyama? Screwing up reality for sanity's sake? You need to play The 3rd Birthday. But the reason is (FF13-2 character spoilers):
why is Hope young now? Or why does he look young? He's supposed to be taller than her at this juncture. This is stupid.
And you don't even need to use monsters at all when you play through FF13-2. I never used monsters outside of one or two fights and the game was still really easy for me on Normal Mode. The game offers very little challenge to the player, and they tried to remedy this through the DLC fights which are actually designed well, but you don't offer that sort of thing in the game proper? That isn't an incentive to make the player stick around after the near fortnight it took me to plat the game. Noi and Ultros probably got the plat faster than I did (I know for sure that Ultros did) since they play games more often than I do. The only reason why I went back to the game months after I'd beaten it is because during KFJ's LP of FF13-2, I got to know Noi as a Junior Member a bit more and he ended up getting some DLC for me, which I am incredibly thankful for. If it weren't for that, I would've written the DLC off completely.
Honestly, if you want to get the plat in a short time, you're better off not synthesizing monsters.

Hearing that mecha/silver Sonic trick made me want to try it out, after all my ultimate mega drive collection run of Sonic 2 has my progress halting trip to death egg saved on hand for if I ever felt like returning.
Yeah I had no idea how to pull off that spindash trick successfully and just kept getting killed, so I just fought him the old fashioned way...you know after dying like 9 times trying to place the hits correctly (note to self, don't ever bother seeing how the spindash works on this guy ever again).
After toppling the fiend I immediately jumped into the Death Egg Robot and then was promptly spiked in the backside learning his whole attack plan the hard way.
Now if you feel that simply picking back up on this fight from a save state was an act that greatly displeases you because you're old fashioned then I have bad news for you, upon being reminded that dying there makes me fight Mecha Sonic again I was all like nuts to that and set up my own down right dirty continue point after that fight in the interest of fairness and more importantly my patience so that makes it totally fine and I wont hear a word against it.
Huh, the actual bog robo ain't that bad, I was expecting more tricks but I guess that was just Sonic 4's version making me expect otherwise, that said I never feel safe attacking this guy, one death had literally a single pixel of spike hand as the perpetrator of my demise leading me to play things so ridiculously conservative here that I started only daring to attack before it does the first big jump dragging the whole thing out to like 5 minutes.
But anyway through completely and utterly legit practices I finally beat the metallic monstrosities, no one bring me down from this moment, no one mention that had this have been the original version that I would have had to play through the whole game just to return to said fight and would also have died enough that I'd have been booted back to the title screen anyway, no one question my tactical checkpointing, instead consider that a truly cheap man would like save after every successful hit and direct your disapproval to this mystery individual instead. Instead let us celebrate my completely justified victory, never have I felt so unsafe in the act of simply attacking two bosses in any game ever.

FF13-2 was about time travel right? And at the end a big monster appeared and destroyed time?
Not really sure why a character being young is an issue. Time is fucked up.

However, an intrepid group of three, collected from all over the timeline, came together and defeated the evil big monster and told the future to stop refusing and start changing already.
No, wait, that was a better game.

Because...
At the end of FF13-2, Hope was like 524 years old and he was a fully-fledged adult. When Chaos was unleashed upon the world, everyone's ages were frozen in time, so after Lightning woke up from her crystal stasis at the end of the FF13-2 Ending DLC, everyone should be the same ages as they were at the end of FF13-2, including Hope. Him--or his design or age--going back a few years doesn't make sense at all. Time isn't fucked up and going around in circles in different spots; it's frozen, thus it doesn't make sense for SORASing or de-SORASing.
Sonic 06?

...yes. I obviously meant Sonic 2K6 when I wrote those words in that sentence that you just read.
Must've meant Pokecapn, Medibot, and KFJ.

The hell is it with Square Enix and poorly implemented/written time travel plots lately? I can think of three or so games from them off the top of my head that released in the last two or so years that have that shit.

Yes time is frozen, yet the sun still rises and set and the clocks still work.
So maybe our definition of "time" is different from Toriyama's.
Whatever. PARADOX
Toriyama's definitions differ from ours on a lot of things.
Meanwhile, I'm playing Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and that does time travel just fine because it doesn't try to pull any stupid shit like CHANGE THE FUTURE TO CHANGE THE PAST.

Trying to replicate the success of CT
Dark Schala
Eloquent Princess
Except CT's Dream Team went into developing CT not with thinking of making something profound and deep to try to make a point to their audience dripping with melodrama.
CT's Dream Team went into game development with the idea to play around with Akira Toriyama's universe and characters, and Horii was just a big fan of time travel in general so he made it the outline of the game. Various writers wrote for some different things like Sakaguchi, Kato (the majority), Kitase, and Tokita. Now if you want to see a game project with a lot of communication across almost every single party in development, Chrono Trigger's a good project to look at. But I think Sakaguchi was generally good at that in the first place.
...
I'm watching this Quick Look for New Super Luigi U, and you can't play MP unless you have more than one Wiimote? That's kinda disappointing. I thought you could use the Gamepad as a separate regular controller without using it for Boost Mode.
Does Super Mario Wii U World have online multiplayer yet? Most of my friends who I'd like to play games with live out of the country or in different provinces/cities and I can't invite them for local multiplayer. >.>

"Local multiplayer is better anyways, you can't play a complex game like Mario if there's lag!"
Personally, HDTV lag is annoying enough, I don't need even more input lag fucking up my timing.
should still be an option though
Come to think of it, what other platformers offer online play? LBP I guess, but as far as I know the physics are so slow and floaty lag hardly matters.

I think Sonic 4 episode 2 does, thought it was barely manageable in local co-op so who knows how online works there.

I think I'm gonna play FF7 soon, if not today. The itch has returned.
I'd argue that Nintendo is in the right position to lead the charge when it comes to offering an online version of platformer co-op (which not many platformers have, period), rather than conforming with what "works". I know I'd love it if Guacamelee had online co-op, but it's understandable that Drinkbox, an indie developer, can't afford to do so versus Nintendo.
LBP Vita's physics are much tighter than it's console brothers and it still gives me the option for online play. :/
The steam release is imminent!

Sonic 4: Ep 2 certainly does have online multi, but I haven't tried it. I don't think it'd be bad. Sky Fortress Act 1 with co-op is apparently really bad because of the mechanics involved, lol.
(Also, you replayed FF7 last year! :O)
I found the Vita game rather passable from the bits I've played of it, and I don't even like LBP that much!
IwataBeef, pls. I just wanna play with my friends who live 300-1000+ kilometres away from me, regardless because I want to have fun! Is that too much to ask?

LBP Vita is actually surprisingly good when it comes to controls, and it gives me an adequate reason to use backtouch and the touchscreen.

Yeah, okay. The tons of Japanese/PAL Game Boy, Game Boy Colour, Game Boy Advance, and DS games I have say that you're talking out of your ass, Iwata. I don't care that it's something to combat reverse importing, it's complete nonsense that they're going back on their original handheld philosophy that you can go into any country and purchase a game for your portable system if you're on a trip.IGN said:
And the parental controls stuff? Please. You can easily solve that by implementing code in hardware/software to make them match up no matter the region. He's just spouting nonsense now.
Yeah, we're importing video games in this thread!

If you let me name Vincent after you, I promise to use him this time!
I don't know why people try to suggest that they be the protag in MY playthrough. I'm greedy, I don't play that. Just for that, you can be Cait Sith.
Well... yeah... well.. uh...! It won't be empty this time! As soon as I actually come up with something, just you all wait and see...!

Well, you punished yourself by finishing Ni No Kuni much like Vincent punished himself by...sleeping in a coffin. You seem too straight-laced to be Yuffie, and you're not nice enough to be Aeris!
