just looking at the she-ra page, the averaging rating from critics is 7.86/10, and the average rating from the audience is 3.8/5

not a lot of disparity there at all

So he has a beef with a joke human. So what?

it's less a "beef" and more "he has been on a warpath for months, lying and defaming Sargon, generally doing things that are similar to people he mocks in his content"

his insane obsession with Sargon of Akkad and his various unhinged meltdowns over it that include taking pride in "being covered in shit" and mocking Sargon's wife for having a miscarriage

CE conservatives have taught me a lot tbh

they believe

-Shooting innocent black kids because they feel threatened for no apparent reason is okay

-It's okay to defend neo nazis for their freeze peach, but if you apply the same logic to Islamic extremism they get really defensive all of a sudden

-anyone white is worth applying your full arsenal of mental gymnastic defenses to no matter how deplorable it gets, but if that person isn't white, you apply the most reactionary and emotional stances possible

i was center-left until the American right drove itself off a cliff the last 2 years. Ya'll are getting dragged into the 21st century kicking and screaming and this embarrassment where you get angry on behalf of groups trying to destroy our civilization because you're upset your 50s utopias world was never real will just be a pathetic stub on history books in 30 years

What threat did this guy make?

belonging to an organization that advocates genocide, ergo, he supports genocide

really simple stuff

"If I attain power your race will be exterminated" is a threat, and that is exactly what you concede to believing and advocating for if you identify as a neo-nazi

reminder that by defending these people you are enabling people like the Synagogue shooter because you fail to understand the clear and present danger genocide advocacy presents

...Certain, typically right wing individuals, seem to find every excuse in the book to try and label it as a bad thing? They'll accuse it of being a diversity quota thing, an attack on white people since sometimes white characters are recast as black characters (these guys never seem to mind if the inverse happens tho ) or find some other reason or excuse to get upset.

It seems like sheltered people feel "invaded" when something white and male in a story ceases to be either or both, like it's a personal attack on them when Rey is a female protagonist in a Star Wars movie, James Bond could hypothetically be cast as a black actor (merely the notion sends people into a fit of rage), or you get a successful movie of black actors (Blank Panther) get attacked for being part of some nebulous "SJW" agenda

I'm really not trying to start a nuclear flame war here because I'm genuinely curious why excuses are found again and again to be upset over casting changes, and if it isn't casting changes, they'll just decry a new original work as SJW anyway since it dares to have a protagonist that isn't white (or male)

like he has a myriad of downsides like

-he's slow and lumbering

-he's huge, combo food

-he can't get off the ledge

-his projectiles have a ton of startup and aren't very good (cannonball is arguably bad, but crown is a huge double edged sword with 27f startup and can be picked up/used against him, forcing him to be camped out)

He has good stuff, don't get me wrong, but there's a reason that Leffen has already dropped him from S to what, B tier? In just the last few days.

Chrom top and Zelda Isabelle bottom?

Really?

Chrom is garbage, Zelda is decent, and Isabelle is the best character in the game

chrom has amazing on-stage utility in a way that little mac didn't due to his aerial game. He has both good ground moves and good aerial moves. I think he's overrated at the moment but he's undeniably much better than how people were expecting him to be.

and isabelle is not #1, no credible person believes this LOL (she's not bottom imo but nothing in her toolset makes her a clear #1 pick)

For real. Top tier recovery, two projectiles, two bury moves, multiple spikes, and a counter. Not to mention super armor out the ass.

His only downsides are his gold plate can break resulting in a shield break and he's a heavy so more area to hit, but all heavys deal with that.

none of these things except for his recovery make his kit especially good

he has all the flaws of any heavy

False.
They do more damage and take less damage.

Actually tested this. Used a move that did 17% in normal play, was 15% in an unlock battle. Noticed their moves did a bit more damage than normal battles as well.

My friend, who is way, way better at the game than me, also noticed the handicap.

what moves

some moves differing damage depending on whether or not there's a full/short hop involved, for example

early roster impressions (unordered within tiers, maybe missing a few in solid, like half the cast wasn't even ranked because this is about gauging "the best" early)

-this might be the first game since 64 where Yoshi is a high tier contender

-Pichu's actually good lol why

-Most Sm4sh high/top tiers are still good after tweaks

-Roy/Chrom really do appear to be good, but I expect "corrections" to happen and for them to eventually drop pretty rapidly

-Best heavy is either DK or Rool. Ridley has the most developmental potential out of any heavy (he has really good tools)

-Ness is doing better than "solid" right now but it's the same kind of stuff that happened early in sm4sh where he's good in advantage but really exploitable, and he'll start getting a lot worse like in sm4sh when people learn to exploit him harder

-peach is pretty scary but sword users will keep her in check

-I think Jr. is the worst character in the game at the moment

Finished! 100 spatulas. Overall impressions:

The game is moderately hard in the late game, though revisiting certain things are easier. If I had to rate every level in terms of difficulty, I think I'd say:

Kelp Forest > Spongebob's Dream > Graveyard > Mermalair > Rock Bottom > Sand Mountain > Downtown Bikini Bottom > Goo Lagoon > Jellyfish Fields

...So it scales pretty well. I think Spongebob's dream is slightly easier revisited. The Texas slide in particular is actually easier than the Kelp Forest slide. Despite the greater length, Sandy allows for a lot of on the spot corrections, meaning the only actual difficult part imo is the thin upwards loop where it becomes very easy to fall off. Still a fun level.

Sock collection was simple enough. I needed a guide to know there were 3 in Sandy's dream (I thought one was in the main dream area) and I needed a guide to know about the shy tiki one in Kelp Forest, but outside of that vague memory and constant vigilance got me the vast majority of socks. I only needed to revisit areas 1-3 for socks at the end.

The final boss still irks me kind of. I remember getting stuck on it as a kid and giving up for quite some time, and the gist of it is that you need to speedrun certain segments or else they become extremely difficult. You need to cruise bubble several duplitrons before they start spawn or else you WILL get knocked off.

Combine this with unfortunately finnicky bounce pads (namely the VERY LAST ONE, where I died because i somehow got bounced off the level) and it's frustrating. It does reward speed and outside of the bounce pad I don't view it as especially cheap, but it's definitely the hardest level.

In terms of level quality, I'd rank it

Sand Mountain > Dutchman's Graveyard > Goo Lagoon > Jellyfish Fields > Spongebob's Dream > Rock Bottom > Mermalair > Downtown Bikini Bottom > Kelp Forest.

Kelp Forest isn't as hard as I remember but it doesn't have "Ideal" difficulty in the same way other later levels do since a lot of it is based on how your character interacts with the bouncing leaves.

I didn't care for needing to use cheats for Krab's Spatulas, but I can assume that's simply a lower threshold of playtesting combined with me trucking through the game at a fast pace. I collected almost everything I could and I was at 15k before I decided cheats would be necessary, meaning I was 25k out.

Overall, the game has minimal backtracking. I don't necessarily mind revisiting areas (TTYD is one of my favorite games and Chapter 4 alone has more backtracking than this entire game needs) but there's a mixture of linearity with exploration where socks & spare spatulas let you go off the beaten path while still being able to get where you're supposed to go.

I like the slide segments a lot and i think that's why I probably enjoyed The Movie game since it has several levels dedicated to slides, though I'm hesitant to revisit it as certain levels (patty wagon ones, namely) left a bad taste in my mouth even as a kid.

For slide segments, Sand Mountain ends up being the best in terms of design overall, but the Texas slide is also quite a bit of fun. I kind of wish it was longer, since I think Sand Mountain's biggest slide might be longer (it clocks in at 2:30 to 3:00 I think?)

I was thinking when I went into this game that it'd be a bit clouded by nostalgia but by the end I think it holds up as one of the best platformers of the 2000s and has very few flaws to speak of. I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting the game and would still give it a solid 10.

gg 100%'d

Definitely the hardest platforming that didn't feel constrained (kelp forest) since the game knowing throws a lot of projectile enemies while you're jumping, but length the level might've had is shortened by one sock per area

Good area for sure (has the best soundtrack in the game, maybe the best look overall) and manages to be moderately difficult. The moving wall jumps weren't as hard as I remembered

Gonna go ahead and start Spongebob's Dream, which I definitely remember being hard

got to the caves before I called it a night

The Patrick segments I think are what really gave me a hard time. The stone tiki segment is very punishing since it resets if you die, and the bouncing leaves are really finicky and certain jump points have less distance (+ several jumps are REALLY far)

Got through it and some of the harder stuff in the first area. It's pleasant enough otherwise, though I don't remember much about the kelp caves. I do remember a slide happens later on

Managed to 100% it, got all the socks after a few runs down each. Probably my favorite area overall so far, or at least a strong contender

Has one of the harder socks (the snowman one) but the slopes are really tight and well made in terms of challenge value so outside of the one on the slippery pillars everything feels fair. The slope controls are great

Kelp Forest inc after I beat robo patrick. not looking forward to it but maybe it'll be better than I remember
