it depends on what move you're parrying

a move is not bad by virtue of requiring intelligence to use efficiently

see but that'd probably mean also adding Yun and like I'd prefer this game stay balanced, you know?

put it in my body

on the one hand, I get that on the other hand, who the hell is buying Street Fighter just to play Arcade Mode in fucking 2016

JUST SHOW ME THE FUCKING STARTERS NINTENDO

RA SHI DOOOOOOO

Games have an unfortunate recent trend of inflating the costs of less content, but Street Fighter V is not a good example of that, considering the large majority of the content to be added to the game is going to be free.

gamers have been tolerating this for literally one (1) decade

the prequels are good, everyone's just dumb

saying Freedom Planet is better than Undertale is wrong by virtue of Undertale being a good game and Freedom Planet being a bad one

I'm not sure which movies you're watching but the stormtrooper foot soldiers only lose one fight in the entire original trilogy

Of those four, only Anakin is notably more "powerful" than other Force users - and even then, it's implied that his strength with the Force is the result of somewhat insidious experimentation. Luke isn't really shown as being notably more capable with the Force than any other Jedi, Leia is implied to be sensitive to the Force but not actually trained in Jedi whatevers, and Kylo Ren's whole deal is that he seems very powerful, but, is not.

the prequels make it pretty clear that force sensitivity isn't heriditary

people are complaining about rey being a mary sue because of latent misogyny

that's because that's all there is to it

yeah it's totally disappointing that they didn't waste time explaining this totally mundane thing for needlessly fastidious people, what a bad movie, ugh

Rebuttals to the criticisms; 1) Finn is the best character in the movie. 2) It's gonna break people's brains to consider this, but Adam Driver's performance is inspired by Hayden Christensen's in the prequel. Stiff and petulant, and meaningfully so. Kylo Ren is a character who doesn't understand Darth Vader, written by people who do. 3) All of Star Wars functions on coincidence, which is not surprising for a series wherein there's a metaphysical force that connects everything in the universe. It's even called the fucking Force, dude. 4) It's easy to criticize fictional characters for building bigger and better weapons constantly, but that actually happens in Real Ass Life, so? 5) Ren is already injured when their duel begins, and it's also implied that his training (from both Luke and Snoke) is incomplete.

It was because he embraced the Force (though unlike Rey in her duel with Ren, he tapped into the Dark Side, which is what the Emperor wanted). Obi-Wan explains in A New Hope that you have to let the Force guide you - the overwrought fencing of the Jedi in the prequels is meant to demonstrate how out of touch with the Force they really are. Note the following; how of the four Sith in the prequels, Maul fights in a very acrobatic but very direct way (nothing he does is without purpose), Tyranus and Sidious straight-up fence, and only Vader relies on exceedingly acrobatic and flashy fighting (remember that one scene in Vader's duel with Obi-Wan where they're literally just spinning lightsabers around for no reason? There's a reason for that). how the only time any Sith in the prequels lose a fight, it's because a Jedi gave into rage or hatred or fear - Obi-Wan overcomes Darth Maul in a rage after he kills Qui-Gon, Anakin kills Darth Maul after Palpatine insists that he do so, Sidious loses to Mace Windu because Windu fully intends to kill him, and Vader loses to Obi-Wan because of Obi-Wan's rage and despair over what Vader's done. how Grievous is capable of fighting with lightsabers (exceedingly well, if you watch Clone Wars) despite having no Force powers, and Obi-Wan only manages to defeat him by shooting him to death. Luke doesn't become a full-fledged Jedi and then fight Vader - he becomes a full Jedi, and the first true one in decades, after he decides that life is sacred and refuses to kill his Vader or the Emperor. The prequels make it clear that the Jedi ideals are corrupt - even the sequels, so far, understand this.

Ren has presumably spent only a short time actually being trained in combat, since he presumably wasn't indoctrinated in combat techniques from birth (like Finn) or had to live a dangerous life consistently being accosted (like Rey). Consider that in the original trilogy, Luke Skywalker (never actually trained with a lightsaber in a way that wasn't just blocking blaster fire) defeats Darth Vader (verbally rated one of the most skilled lightsaber duelists in the galaxy) in a duel.

I liked this movie but I don't like that it was basically Episode IV, Again

GUESS WHO WON THE BALLOT

earth has more meanings than "planet earth"
