Blade and his book club are wonderful

Cap: I don't know how to say this but I think Blade only started this book club to impress me

I don't think I'm very far into the game (just got past dropping a bell on Venom) but so far Carol is my designated "All yall need to die now" character. And Magik is just fun to use

And TVMercs, which still has an entire wiki somewhere and turned into me putting various builds into the Cube for my amusement

I'm there as fumangoo

Ha, you got a functioning Irenicus build going? I remember arguments for trying to get that one rolling in prior Mercs and it never got past "How do you make a D&D mage work, especially one with his kind of instadeath bullshit"

Yes

They used to be amazing and fell off a bridge somewhere in the 90s. Not like it takes away from their early stuff, but at this point they've been coasting for longer than they were good

And just to add to my own confusion, I noticed Max was a Mercs 1 build (Mercs 2 was the game where I was an admin)...yet it's definitely my build, I guess I must have thrown him out there while I was also playing. Or maybe I did it before I took over Bballman's team.

Haha I wrote that merc, during a Mercs run where Wang and I were the only admins as I recall (fun). The idea being Sanitarium is a game where your character keeps transforming into different things based on his mental state. Crazy Max thinks he's a werewolf and now he's actually a werewolf in game, Max thinks he's Quetzacoatl and now he is Quetzacoatl.

...I got nothing on slightly unnerfed

And here I thought Pony Garden was the most Mercenaries ability of all time

Also I find "Waded through a massive drug overdose on nothing but spite and punched the guy in the face" super impressive and the kind of thing your average merc probably *can't* do, but it doesn't translate to a punchy fight I suppose

Oh I'm not arguing who would beat who in a fight (lol), just that there's no practical difference between this version of Batman and the comic version on a stats level

Like for example, even in the context of *just* the Arkham games Batman overpowers Croc (a 9 foot tall hell monster) and takes 5 full vials of Fear Toxin, wades through a brief nightmare and punches Scarecrow in the face. Honestly he's just as absurd physically speaking as his comic version

It isn't like Arkham Batman is removed from OG Batman by any real physical metric, just the metric of Dumb Shit He's Done On Panel. The guy is more or less the same

Aigis as of Arena knocks a man out by taking one of his shirt buttons and flicking it at his head. I don't think physics even work that way

Having played a few hours of Mercs mode in RE4 Remake, wow but Hunk is a rampaging killbeast (I say this aware that no one gave Leon much respect, but)

Yes

I'd also be up for joining the next round of this, because I am a deeply foolish person and never learn my lessons

Little bit

2B. So much of her stuff is raining bullet hell while she's nowhere near you, it plays against Sol's strengths

Kind of surprised Batman with access to the Batmobile *and* being able to teleport whenever he wants didn't seem to get a lot of respect

I'll just say I loved the idea of Suicide Run 2B and definitely would have bought her were I playing

It's Batman, I would never question his ability to disappear even if you think you're looking at him

Remake Tifa probably whomps Squall, she is ridiculous. But it doesn't matter since yeah, whoever wins Chief vs Doomguy win the match (I don't know who wins that)

Mass lightning everywhere, I 100%ed Hades and that was the easiest way to do it

Don't know who really wins Sypha vs Vivi, Vivi probably has more firepower but Sypha is way the fuck more mobile. Not that it matters here

On the other hand Batman is absolutely the king of making sure no one knows he's there, he can pretty much teleport at will

That ability is a wonderful trainwreck, I approve

Uh well, Gordon and his rockets probably take out most of the monkeys, but he has a lot of targets he has to deal with. Still, that's nothing new to him. And he's fought the Gargantua, so it's not like he hasn't dealt with oversized monsters.

Entirely depends on Raiden vs Mewtwo and I don't know how that one goes

Sallyhallymetalgear. I don't think Cloud lives but it doesn't exactly matter with that thing here

9, I loved it a lot

Outside in the open, nah. Inside or otherwise anything that looks like people might be breathing on me, yes

Feel better dude. I miss our driving each other insane in Mercs. It was fun in a terribly draining way
