In my opinion this is probably one of his best complete peices to date, it has fun little background bits, he handled the brass much better than he has in the past, and it is arranged excelently. For a "minimalistic" peice there is a surpriseing amount going on between all the instruments, everything fits together really nicely. Even now I'm noticeing new bits in it whenever I listen.
I think this is his first peice I have heard that I've liked the entirety of besides the black hole one.(I hope he submits that one some day just to see how the judges react to its disonant nature
).I'm sure there's plenty to be improved upon, but my ear isn't critical enough to really find anything wrong with the production or arrangement going on here. Hell I've played in a band and orchestra for a few years and he's improved enough that it's hard to tell some of the instruments are fake now unlike his older stuff, so he's doing a much better job at working with the samples he has when he puts his mind to it.
Mr. Yoshiyami, you'd make a bad judge, you seem unable to judge things objectively or give good feedback for what you didn't like about it.

I felt like the difference in volume was a bit too much. But other than the issue with the dynamics, I'd say an all around good remix.
You guys that don't understand dynamic contrast.
Go join an orchestra or something.
That or beat up all the band and orchestra directors and judges in the world (or atleast the state of texas) for emphasizeing how KEY haveing a wide dynamic range is to make good and dramatic music.
Oh yeah, awsome remix, I love it.

The idea of combineing "clone" characters annoys me. Who cares about "streamlineing" the fun thing about smash is the variety of characters you can use, and it kind of takes away from that to just make them into a costume. Also the fact that each of the clones DO have different movesets and playstyles.
While we're saying combine all the clone characters would you then suggest to make luigi nothing more than a costume for mario? They are essentualy "clones" of one another, but I think alot of people would be very unhappy if mario and luigi were just the difference of costumes.

I'm going to try and guess your gear.
Stormrage Helm
Frostwolf Advisor's Pendant
Hide of the Wild
7/8 Cenarion
Blood of the Martyr
Maiden's Circle
Zandalarian Hero Charm
Royal Seal of Eldre'Thals (sp)
Cold Forged Hammer
That AV healing offhand
Idol of Rage
Mostly right, but I'm not useing the cold forged hammer, I'm useing simone cultivation hammer, pretty nice for a blue actualy. +11 Int, and +36 healing if I remember correctly.
That's amazeing how can you guess all of that. o_o
See if you can guess my world pvp gear now! I think it'll be harder to be accurate because so many of the icons are pretty common to so much different gear.
(I turn off the helm graphic outof habbit in non healing gear, cause my bear and cat gear uses shadowcraft hood...and rogues like to wig out at me when they see that).
-
I'm actualy REALLY surprised that the patch was today, and unfourtunately it's been really hard getting ahold of the patch this time around.
I finaly got it though, can't wait to get zg stuff for my gimpy hunter!Anyway, here's a picture of my healbotting self. Yeah I look like every other end game druid! Woohoo. I really wish there was more variety in healing gear and the like. Seems the only unique looking druids are the balance and feral ones though, since they don't get a set at all.
I have the least stormrage of any of the druids, (only the head). Not that I want it all, I think I only really want 3 peices...so I can keep the 5 peice set bonus from cenarion.

(Hatchery in UBRS comes to mind, or the pillar jump room in BFD). Many people have learned to fear hunters and warlocks' pets because of these cases.
They might have changed the egg room in ubrs, my pet has never set off any of the eggs in there and he runs around pretty freely. Although I've been in groups where before the rend fight a hunter won't dismiss his pet before jumping off the balcony.
I've run an ubrs with only 2 shaman healing o_o.
We cleared everything but drak. (Drak was also kindof hard cause we didn't have a hunter to do the pull, or a rogue with preperation)
Here's me haveing fun with the dressing room.
I'll post a real picture later of healing and what I quest/pvp in (slightly less healing)
I totaly wish I could mouse over your equipment and see what it is zircon
-
This remix *sounds* good, but...it's kind of boreing in my opinion. There wasn't anything really notable or interesting about it to me beyound the sound quality.
-
There are a couple of flaws with this idea. While they have nearly identical movesets, Falco is actually stronger than Fox, while not being as fast as Fox. Not to mention the fact that Falco is his own entity with his own history.
QFE. Even the different history and such aside, some "clone" characters have a totaly different playstyle because they handle completely differently, and their attacks act differently as well, or there's a different optimum point for max damage. I think the only "clone" in melee I don't like is Dr. Mario because there seems to be no difference huge enough to make the playstyle any different between mario and dr mario.
-
While I would like the camera to FULLY rotate around the characters, I suppose that there's not really anything else I'd like to see concept-wise.
Maybe I'm just being closed minded, but how pray-tell would something like that work in a game like smash? Even with two characters it just doesn't seem to suit the way the game is played very well at all.
-
This sounds pretty cool, but at the same time it's kindof repetitive, it does it's thing then repeats 3 or 4 times...
I dunno, it could probably go either way.

i think russ is just sour that oomkin and feral druids are getting innervate too.
I think russ is a jerk. It's not on the wow website sir, it was brought up in the BUG REPORT FORUMS as I remember correctly. At which point druids were told their swing timer (in caster form) does not reset because a druid is not a true hybred. I'm not pulling anything outof the air, or my ass. So stop saying I am when I'm only repeating what druids were told several months ago when they asked about it.
I'll play with the "team" when one exists in a pug group, I heal when I'm on an actual team, otherwise no I'm not going to heal and it doesn't make me a moron. Like I said before, I don't heal people that won't keep me alive in return, ie a pug'd bg. End of story. If I decide I'm going to shred faces I will, if I decide I want to heal people that won't help me one bit I will die. Horde pugs beat alliance pugs just fine without my healing, so I'll just keep doing what I do in a pug. And I'll do my "job" when I'm in an organized group that will actualy do something to keep me alive if everything starts trying to kill me.
Get the stick out of your ass sir cox, you're takeing what was a rather civilized conversation at one point and turning it into some uber aggressive shit.
I still stand by my statement.
I feel sorry for feral druids that wanted the set, as it was the only true feral set in the game. There's plenty of hybred sets out there (which is the kind I personaly would go myself it fits MY PLAYSTYLE better). There's plenty of healing sets out there. Some people shred faces, and they want to do so. If you're going to preach about druids being "hybreds" then don't say that they should be only healing.
You're the kind of jerk that likes to force everyone to do everything exactly your way aren't you? I guess you'd have an anerism if you saw the way the guild I'm in is run. We're happy to let some druids do something other then heal and its fine, doesn't hurt the raid any at all, and actualy it's pretty nice that we can ask our feral druid to do other stuff besides heal, he brings alot of utility to the raid.
For the record, I have played a shaman, not as much paladin cause I can't stand alliance side so much. Their swing timers do indeed reset after casting a spell. If that has changed recently I guess I missed it since I pay little attention to the forums these days. Too many morons expecting the cm's to be able to magicly fix the servers and such.
I'm happy we get innervate for free now, it'll keep jerks from forceing a certain spec, so druids can be a mana battery. Which is idiotic because innervate is nothing but a cruch. Druids don't need to be resto specced to heal good. It helps a bit, but resto spec a healer does not make. I've known druids that are full out feral and you wouldn't be able to tell because they are such excelent healers. I've known full resto druids that absolutely blow as healers.

rude stuff
I'm not talking out my ass, the devs actualy did say at one point that our swing timer does not reset after casting like shaman and paladins because we are not true hybreds. That was the reply we got when we asked why our swing timer resets.
But yeah, I'm not the kindof person to "talk out my ass".
I actualy do heal when I'm in a team situation, you know like running with my guild or personaly friends. But if you think I'm going to heal in a pug where the people I'm healing aren't going to protect me for my effort you're saddly mistaken, and that is the same attitude most other healers be them shaman, priests, or druids take on Sargeras. Unless I'm with a group I know I will not be protected. I'm alot more likely to heal random people in a pug then most, but I'm not going to do it in my healing gear, and that's alot more then most other druids would do that play bg because they're sick of healing all the time in pve, pvp is their "I want to destroy something" time.
I'll heal pugs full of random thankless jerks when they start paying my 17$ a month.
And because of my spec (I'm resto) even in my not so healing friendly gear (which still has a fair amount of +healing and int for bear gear) I get a huge bang for my heals,I'll save all the mana regen and +healing gear for an encounter that actualy requires me to heal myself and others. I mean I can main heal an insance or raid with rank 4 and 6 heals (out of 11).
And I'll say it again, I use a fairly "hybred" set myself when not in full healing gear. The discussion earlier was. "I FEEL SORRY FOR ALL THE OTHER DRUIDS THAT LIKE TO BE FERAL"
Why? Because the old version of the rank sets was the only purely feral set in the game. All other druid sets are either healing/feral, or purely healing. And there's still not really anything good for balance.
People like to specialize sometimes, it's okay for a druid to specialize in healing yet if they decide to shred peoples faces as a cat or maul things as a bear suddenly there's a problem?

I just got the july issue for NP (yay for 3 free issues). And there wasn't anything more then a short paragraph in the side bar as a blurb.
Don't ask me why I got the july issue when it isn't even june, but if you guys want proof I'll scan it later.
-
I just peeked at the druid forums and they are all angry
O_O
I'm sure happy I'm content with my own gear ^^.
What's naxx like? From the people that have been talking about it. The instance looks like it'll be intersting.
-
I've met shadow priests that can heal fine with mediocre gear. I've met several holy priests that can dps, they don't use their dots or anything, they just hit really flippen hard and crit alot with their holy spells. (This is post patch)
Anyway, I guess I should start pvping more often since apparently my gear and spec is more intuitive to pvping then the druids that pvp on my realm...
I think maybe the reason your druids can't dps as well as a rogue is cause they aren't getting good gear for it and speccing. You're right druids can do almost anything without haveing special gear for it, well except dps. Druids can't dps unless they spec and gear specificly for it.
Either way I feel bad for the druids on sargeras, because the high ranking gear doesn't suit THEIR play style. Their playstyle doesn't seem to hurt anyone but the enemy so I'm happy with it. They can heal when they want to, but they aren't going to be dedicated healers, and they aren't going to run around the bg's in their healing gear. (There are some druids that do, I do sometiems when I play with my friends).
A lot of the druids pvp because they don't want to heal for everything. They want to smite things. You smite things by haveing gear that lets you do damage, and the new pvp gear will hold them back a little in that regard. (Most likely they'll just peicemail something together rather then useing the rank gear).
-
Yeah, but you're hybrids, thus you get hybrid gear. Hell, even the Priest set is hybridized; it's not pure healing, it's not pure shadow damage, it's not pure regen.. it's a mix. That's the point of it. It's like a Warrior complaining their PVP set doesn't have +15 defense on every piece.
Actualy druids don't count as hybreds
. If we did our swing timer would reset after casting a spell, blue has said a few times that we aren't considered hybreds, only shaman and paladins.I use a mix of gear, if you looked at my fera/pvp gear there is some +healing/dmg to spells along with +int and +spi so I can keep myself and friends alive. I have mostly +agi/sta/dodge%/armor gear though. I have a little bit of str.
Druids cannot be "hyrbreds" in mass pvp. Even with my gear which has a fair amount of int spirit and mana regen on it compaired to druids that pvp I cannot be constantly shifting in and outof forms to heal that much. It's much easier for a priest to be "hybred" in pvp. Holy Priests are now viable in pvp, so you don't have to waste a good sized chunk of your mana shifting forms to heal.
Druids would be a true hybred only if they didn't have to shift to use all their abilities. But we are restrcited by our form of choice. The druid form of choice in BG is Cat form.
And for the record, warriors don't want lots of +defense in pvp. They want to be able to mutilate people up and consume their souls in pvp. (They want sta/str/agi/+crit%) If they wanted defense my friend would be pvping in his raiding gear.
-
I don't think you guys lost much AP. I'm pretty sure you gained some nice stam + armor though. Druid PVP != Feral DPS..
Druid in PVP == whatever the hell he or she wants to be.
Sure I personaly don't dps, but that's because I'm resto specced and the only other gear I have is for tanking and surviveing world pve. So yeah the gear might be nice for me if I had the desire to pvp that much. (which I don't). I like bearform in pvp, most druids do not.
That gear is AWFULL for those poor oomkin pewpew moonfire druids (and they can do a buttload of dps when geared and played correctly).
Most PVP druids do NOT want to be furry little warriors, they want to dps, and let me tell you a druid can dps very well if he gears and specs for it. The gear for pvp rank is not good for that. Cat druids need ap, agility, and stamina to be good. Str helps, but not as much as agility does because agility gives dodge armor and crit chance, and flat ap helps a druid more then str, since it takes a fair bit of str to get any form of ap on druid.
-
If they updated the weapons there has been no word of it.
The druid update kindof blows...took away all the ap on it...
Not that it matters cause I'll never be that rank on my druid. But still, it sucks for the druids that actualy pvp.

If you're a clicker.
Move all those skills on the top right bar to the left side. Make it so everything you use alot is clostest to the middle/left of the screen, and make sure stuff you use in conjunction is next to each other.
If you're a hotkey user, I can't help you cause I'm a noob clicker..but I pwn at hunter so meh.
Put Feign Death and Frost trap right next to each other. (NOTE: FD is not working correctly most of the time right now and doesn't always remove you from combat)
Or if you have the know how make a macro, there is a way to make one that will fd/trap for you I just dont know the code
Edit:
Here's my UI right now.
-
The tier system just makes me more satisfied that I kick peoples asses with Yoshi since he's apparently such a bad character to use.
-
Homerun thingy
I used Yoshi, basicly you just do a bunch of bycicle kicks to the sandbag. It helps if you use very short hops so that you'll do maximum damage to the bag.
Try to get about 3 or 4 bycicle kicks off them do a smash attack with the baseball bat (It'll be all sparkly) And you should bet well over 1400 feet.
-
Everyone knows alliance is PVE easy mode.
I think that the belf racial that leeches other peoples rage/energy/mana will be different depending on the class, just like the aura that draenei will have will (supposidly) differ for each class.
I also think that these racials will be nerfed into the ground before burning crusade is released.

The problem I have with it is that while you're using that speed, you skip a large portion of the stage. Yes, you could explore the whole thing, but why? Sonic doesn't move very fast if you do that...
There really was a bit of an exploration and skill factor to the orignal sonic games. I'd even hazzard to say there was more to the Sonic levels then to the Mario ones because there are so many different paths you can take through them, wereas mario is just puttering from start to finish and jumping on the enemies.
They aren't really much different to me gameplay wise, only you have to have slightly better reflexes and control in a sonic game to not die.
For the record, everytime you get hit by something your rings fly further away and don't stick around as long, so if you're really crappy at a sonic game and get hit alot eventualy you'll be trying to hold onto that one last ring or else die.
But this is a smash bros thread...so
I personaly do hope to see atleast sonic knuckles and tails in the games, it's be cool to pit the mario and sonic franchise against each other. That and I'm a bit of a sonic fangirl.

Edit: Bah, can't find the link, but it involved one of the characters looking a lot like Sothe from PoR.
http://revolutionmedia.ign.com/revolution/image/article/706/706206/fire-emblem-20060509002122577.jpg
No tell me that don't look like Sothe.
Looks like the rogue character from Sacred Stones to me...maybe even just a generic rogue even.....

It apparently can use either the touch screen or the directional pad...but i'ts easier to just use the d pad for stuff.
I can't decide if I want to get this game, or if it'll be a load though... I guess I'll look for some reveiws and wait for ocr peoples to talk about it once it comes out first. (Since normaly OCR is a bit more helpfull most the time then game reveiws).
