He was being sarcastic. Just an FYI in case you cpuldn't tell.

This one pisses me off so much bc with the dress I can atleast see the correct color thanks to screen shenanigans. Not only do we not know the shoe's actual color, I can't even find a way to not see this faded pink!

Other way around. Of course, it's not a one-for-all answer, just how it was found for most people. In reality, we still don't quite know the full answer. And it's possible to be a 'night owl', like, on your phone, which would be different from literal graveyard shifting at a desk doing who knows what(assuming that's what you meant by you're a night owl)

No, I see it too. I gotta push my laptop screen back to see black & blue. The second image really helped.

Like, step back from your screen a bit, you'll kinda start to see it, it's really cool.

There's still no 100% conclusive explanation either. Just one of the wonders of the world, I guess.

I mean, there is a "solution", it's just not a one-size-fits-all solution

Basically, the picture's over-exposure puts the light source into question, so the brain has to assume what it is & that's where the different colors come from.

Shit ton of sunlight - white & gold
Some dollar store LED - black & blue

There's a ton of studies and stuff about how it's based on if you're a day fowl or night owl

At least there's a confirmed answer for the dress' real color.

Can't say the same for The Shoe though...(yes there is a sequel to this debate, and it's completely unrelated to the explanation for the dress, it's even worse actually, not as well known but it's worse)

This dress:



10 years ago there was a debate on what color it is(which is why it's resurfaced: to tell the truth it never really went away)

The correct color is black & blue, but some people are perceiving the light differently and seeing different colors.

Eventually we got a picture taken with a better camera, & this particular side profile for comparison, but some ppl are still in denial.



The general consensus is that it's an ugly ass dress & a picture taken with an ugly ass camera intentionally.

I...what...

I promise you, I would not be here if that was the case

It's something to do with how your brain perceives the light source, there's a picture that shows it off really well

Somebody pointed out that if you push your laptop screen back you can see the blue and black and that's when I realized they were right.

My parents just learned about the dress it's so over

They'll be talking about this for weeks I know they will

Anyway, what colors do you see in the dress? Yeah it's black & blue, it's not up for debate, but what do you see? Do you see white & gold?

Fair point. I still think I'd like 3DS over Wii, but they're all pretty good (except 64)

8 Deluxe. It has just about every song worth listening too, & even the bad ones sound better than they used to(Toad Turnpike, Dry Dry Desert, etc.) Add in the Booster Course Pass & you have an almost perfect OST. There are a couple good ones missing though(Choco Island, Koopa Troopa Beach, 64 Sherbet Land, Shy Guy Beach, Lakeside Park, GBA Bowser Castle, YOSHI DESERT, GCN Rainbow Road, Airship Fortress, Luigi's Mansion, Delfino Square, Toad's Factory, Dry Dry Ruins, Daisy Hills, Cheep Cheep Lagoon, Shy Guy Bazaar, Wario Shipyard, 3DS Bowser Castle & Piranha Plant Pipeline) but as a whole it's definitely far and away the best. I'd give 7 second place; it has most of the ups with less downs than Wii, & obviously some of Wii's best music(also a lot of the retro songs are ported over from Wii, so it's not even close because it's the same songs & then some)

Simply un-true. The next game IS in development. That's how most big studios operate on long running franchises; finish one project, & pretty quickly start work on the next one. If it were something smaller, like Mario Tennis, they'd wait a bit before developing the next one(also all the sports games are made by the same guys(Camelot), so even then the entire dev team is still working on another game almost immediately afterwards) So it is real. Mario Kart X. The name is not final, of course, but it does exist.

Okay, FYI the Crossroads part is bullshit, but yes, MKX next year.

I'm hyped for the new generation honestly, no retros, only new courses. It's gonna be lit!

Hornyposting?

It's finally time for the site to go under

GGs everyone, it was fun while it lasted

That doesn't exist anymore though

Tbf, that's basically every group in existence.

Oh okay, sorry.

@Chilli3564 sorry, Astral Chain is a fantastic game that deserves a slot. And it's the newest Nintendo IP(technically). The same way they added Inkling, they should add Akira.

Fighter: Akira Howard(Astral Chain)

This is a bit of an unknown for a lot of you probably, but if anyone deserves a slot, it's the new kid on the block. The game is a hack & slash, go buy it, it's really, really good.

Akira is male by default(one of those MCs)

Long story short, they're a Police officer with an armplate computer than spawns Personas to fight with. They're called Legions. More on them, later.

They're normals are still really boring, but they use a baton instead of a sword, so that's unique atleast. That is, if your PC(it's called Legatus is on cooldown(no Legions are active) If one is, things get......complicated, fast. It's essentially Luma, but way cooler.

The 5 legions are Sword, Axe, Arm, Beast & Arrow.
All of these are pretty self explanatory, depending on which one is active, your moves change.

Specials: Because obviously, that's the bulk of this entire thing, normals are so bland.

Neutral: Handcannon/Hyper Slash/Hyper Shot/Hyper Punch/Hyper Fang/Hyper Swing

As you can probably tell by the names, these are all really simple.

Handcannon: As a police officer, Akira carries around a pocket gun. Pretty standard.

Hyper Slash: Big ass Slash

Hyper Shot: Arrows of light tend to hurt

Hyper Punch: Falcon Punch who???

Hyper Fang: Who's a good boy?

Hyper Swing: Do. Not. Shield. Do. Not. Roll. In. Do. Not. Jump. You WILL die.

Side B: More of the same.

Up B: Grappling Hook if not a Legion. If Legion, more of the same.

Down B: Legion Switch
Self explanatory

Final Smash: Overkill Attack

What would an action game be if it doesn't have that instakill attack meter? Depending on the active Legion, this will look different. Instakills when the victim's damage exceeds 100.
Random chance to be "Deep Synced" indicated by Akira's appearance. This does more damage, obviously, & instakills at 80 instead.

Things to note:
The Legions function like Luma, so they will run around an attack independently unless you use a specific attack that involves them, in which case they will TP to you before the attack.

You & your Legion are connected by a semi-solid chain, as in, solid when you need it to be. Should an enemy end up between you & your Legion at any point, press B to choke them with it & do the normal Overkill finisher. Instakills at 130%.

Akira is unusually deeply connected to their Legions(lore), so when they take damage, you take a little as well, but no knockback.

Legions have up to 100 HP, & once summoned last for 25 seconds.(Shortened from 100 in the actual game). When that time is up, the Legatus will be unusable for another 15 seconds.(Shortened from 30???(it's been a while)

Taunts
Up: Iris activation + deactivation
Left: Cool pose w/Legion
Down: Plays Solitaire on the Legatus(reference)

Victory theme: Snippet of the Main Theme

Victory poses: Cooler versions of the Taunts, except for #3, where Akira gets on that badass bike & drives away(PLS play this game)

Alts:
4 Male, 4 Female
1: Normal Male
2: Normal Female
3: Yoseph
4: Jena
5: Maximilian(RIP Dad)
6: Olive
7: Massive Spoilers Male
8: Massive Spoilers Female

Special: IRIS analysis
Essentially a codec call for every character. Reads a police file for each, essentially, giving tips on how to beat them. Tons of cool dialogue to be read there. Only works on the Astral Plane stage.

Stage: Astral Plane
An alternate dimension which has started pouring into the real world, which forces 90% of Earth to be unhabitable, revealed to be the memory bank of the entirety of humanity.(Where they're brains are stored, essentially)
Basically FD, but with two extra, smaller FDs to the far right & left. And also just red.
Randomly, Humunculus(looks like Experiment Z-57 from Dread for reference, except he's older by 2 years.) will appear, & cause a shit ton of trouble. And then leave. And then come back. He's also the boss of classic mode)

Music: 10 songs, this is really hard to do, this whole "Create a Fighter" thing.

Also, like, this game is awesome, also they've teased a sequel(during the Bayonetta 3 reveal, that Dog is the Police's mascot), if you want to catch up on the story before it comes out, do. It's a Platinum Games hack & slash, & it's T, so don't worry about the rating, there's light swearing, it's a fantastic game all around.

But those are just uncharged Smash attacks. Not separate attacks.
