Circus of Humorous & Humiliating Arguments Part 4 Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

[Regular-Nothing Eric]

Thoughts on this one folks?

 

[Regular-Nothing Eric]

Before you say "Fiction stomps" remember, overpowered characters are more of a recent trend. Most characters who can contend with Xeno Goku were created far after 2000

Everyone bloodlusted and at max power, who wins?

The amount of cringe on so many levels upon levels from reading this part of the OP alone just gave my brain terminal cancer at Stage III to IV.

 

[CrossTheHorizon]

Pretty much.

There are things like Zephyro destroying an entire galaxy within an Amber Era, Xipe wearing the universe as her cloth or Ena creating universal order.

Heck Hooh became one with the Imaginary Tree aka the universe itself and his presumed Arbitrator Emanator from the Equilibrium Missions rewrites the laws of the universe while shouting to you in honestly nonsensical gibberish.

Most of those feats and then some I linked on NF.

Yes totally didn't just create an account because I saw somebody else being knowledgeable about Star Rail.

Ay, welcome aboard. And glad to have more people interested in HSR lore because I'm skillgated out of any content that might be in the endgame modes

 

[Uoruk]

Does anyone here actually find it helluva awfully strange and bizarre how Kami Tenchi always gets brought up in these kinds of threads, but not Lord of Nightmares from Slayers for some reason?

Probably because Tenchi is a mc

Same

mainly because it means I don't have to keep reading through Mihoyo's info dumps

Honestly? It depends on how far you think Medaka Box's hax can get through those ridiculous Wings or not.

I thought that Fate had some bullshit ways to do their lore by primarily keeping most of it untranslated and in interviews but the fact that Mihoyo basically makes their convoluted, their translations aren't the best and they are primarily info dumps may take the cake instead.

Mihoyo=gay

Yup

They always come up with cool and interesting concepts but their writing suffers because they either treat the audience as being unable to understand context clues so they info dump as much as possible or they wax poetic and end up needing to add whatever additional info somewhere else in the story. It wouldn't be as annoying if they found a good balance between it but it really just slows everything down. That said Penacony doesn't seem as bad but I've only recently decided to return to doing the story (pulling Mei being my only inspiration lmao) so I'm still at the start

Who doesn't love lesbians?

I'm just kidding,I like both mei and tuna

Yeah, that's been my main issue with Star Rail atm as well...
It's insane because I think @CrossTheHorizon 's statement on how the Star Rail Express is meant to work is stated barely and it's also in an info dump off hand otherwise and even then, it's not explained well.

I think I legit just sleptwalk through some of Jarilo VI due to that and the need to constantly reiterate the obvious and Xianzhou was just boring as fuck.

It gets more ridiculous as Type-Moon has finally gotten off it's ass and is officially translating it's primary work after 20+ years and one of the original remakes this year so it makes for how much Mihoyo is basically the biggest gacha game around... it's writing is pretty sloppy and full of memes which is hit and miss depending on the person.

Penacony is better than the Luofu, and while i doubt The Wildfire Battle (tm) will ever be removed as my favorite moment in the series, the general quality in Penacony is above that of Jarillo VI as well.

Is it wrong?

Think it was explained in when the red haired dude randomly shows up on the express

Loufu dragged but toward the end it picks up and hits the gas. If they could somehow keep a somewhat decent pacing I think the big climactic moments would hit that much harder

Well they've been like that since Hokai so they probably aren't changing anytime soon

Either way there's probably another banger involved so I'm good

Had Phantylia's theme on repeat for a hot minute a few weeks ago lmao

 

[Uoruk]

Is it wrong?

For you yes

 

[Xhominid The Apex]

Argenti? Fuck, I did that sidequest and I was basically just not paying attention at all...
I think it's less Argenti himself and more how boring it was for me for some reason.

Loufu dragged but toward the end it picks up and hits the gas. If they could somehow keep a somewhat decent pacing I think the big climactic moments would hit that much harder

Yeah, I think that's the best way you can describe the Xianzhou Arc:
Slow as balls going up the hill and when you think you hit the climax, you just got more hill and then you basically just hit gas for 2 seconds when you hit the downslope and that's it.

Well they've been like that since Hokai so they probably aren't changing anytime soon

Impact right? Kinda ridiculous considering that they really should have gotten either better writers or better translations because it's ridiculous they keep on having issues when it comes to how they want things to be translated or not when it comes to the terminology of their worlds.

Yeeaaah have kinda been playing since day 1.

Nevertheless there is not really anything in Memory of Chaos and I couldn't be bothered paying attention in Gold and Gears as it was such a chore to do. I could probably pay a bit more attention in that regard for future SU expansions.

As for Aha, I don't think anyone besides Hooh scales to them as we know they fought Nanook and the past and presumbly won. -> All of Nanooks scars are from fighting Aha.

Here comes a spicy topic though:
Who would you rate higher between Acheron and Jing Yuan? I have an overhauled clear cut take on this but curious what somebody else more focused on battle boarding thinks.

 

[Uoruk]

Argenti? Fuck, I did that sidequest and I was basically just not paying attention at all...

Yeah, think it's when Pom pom tries to go to washtopia but they instead end up in a giant insect that swallowed the express. Argenti himself actually forces it to spit the express out

Hokai and Honkai yeah. Its funny to me at times but I'd say it's an acquired taste

Yeah, that was it...
That sidequest was not worth it outside of Argenti.

Hokai and Honkai yeah. Its funny to me at times but I'd say it's an acquired taste

Basically. It just makes it a pain in the ass to understand how any of it actually works outside of the basics.
