Obvious one

WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THIS?

here


you have a tiny penis

There's that word again.

He was coming out to us, and we need to supportive, dear.


This. Future Perfect is the best, OP. If you already played it, play it again.

Is this how people speak now?

Seriously though, not many games use Time Travel as a component. Now that I think about it there's only a real handful.

delete this

...

Legacy of Kain games & Singularity.

Most recently titanfall 2 had it. OoT will still be my favorite though.

this to be honest family, +1

No wonder you are defending the modern usage of word "trope"

forgot this classic

Are you faggots so new that you think that the SJW cunts at TvTropes invented the term?

Got to go back
Back to the past
Samurai Jack

All games technically travel forward in time at 1x speed.

YU-NO is probably one of the best games with time travel.
I'm tired, I fucked up what I said in the other post

Loved that game. Too bad the other Sonic games that use time travel (06 and Boom) are complete shit. They should revisit that direct time travel mechanic.

...

here are some good time travel games that haven't been posted yet

...

The game has fucking amazing writing. Takuya is probably one of my favorite video game characters. He's such a cool guy.

Toei Sonic is best Sonic

reminder that allthetropes.org exists, and is appearently non-SJW (you can write about hentai works, for example)[/unpaidshill]

OP asked for games with timetravel, not good ones.

Congrats on making such a painfully predictable post though.

Tropes is a fucking word with no connotation with the fucking cancerous website.
Get your head out of asses

i know, i just saw an opportunity to shill a fork for free

Fair enough

Someone already said Zelda and Titanfall 2 so I'll just be cheeky and say every game since your character travels through time at a rate of one second per second. Also, perhaps you would like this here list of games containing time travel

...

No one? Really?

Good times

The time travel mechanic makes what would otherwise be a generic shooter fast-paced and fun.

Great times indeed

SG and SG0.

OP said games with time travel.

The story of Marathon Infinity doesn't even tell you what's going on directly, it's something you have to figure out for yourself. It's one of those few cases where 'git gud' applies to the fucking story as well.

i didn't find him likeable, he never realises the weight of the situations that he is into like a drooling retard, but at least he isn't the avereage beta teen jap that all VNs have

No one really used the word "trope" before that bitch reared her Jewish head.

...

Also Ocarina of Time and Skyward Sword have time travel

And Oracle of Seasons/Ages

Before tvtropes, we just called that cliché.

He was pretty damn competent. And he did better than what most people would do in the situations he's in. It doesn't help that people keep on lying to him, withhold important information from him, and turn against him. If you were in the situations that he were in, how would you have done better?

Like I care.

The phrase cliché is inherently negative, implying that a work that uses them is unoriginal and therefore bad. The point of using the phrase trope is that it acknowledges that patterns are going to emerge in what makes a good story.

Mah nigga. I loved this game

AYUMI-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!

You're so new you don't know it backfires every time.

...

If you wanted to talk about Samurai Jack that much op, you should have just made the thread on Holla Forums.
Reported, enjoy your ban, hopefully permanent.

...

I think it's fine as long as everybody else is talking about video games.

I played without voices but not in monochrome.

...

Chrono Trigger
Soul Hackers has a mini gimmick where NG+ is actually you going back in time with minor changes.

...

why

I have seen trope used with the exact same negative connotation plenty of times. So no, the two words are equivalent, preferring trope is just down to you accepting tvtropes autism. And it was autism much earlier than its SJW infection.

Don't forget Oracles of Ages

This confuses me. You mean just games with Time Travel or games that have "tropes" normally associated with Time travel?

it was pretty bad over all with a massive drop in quality and you can tell they really couldn't write around Mako Iwamatsu being dead very well

It's a shame the last 5 hours of the game were beyond horrible

Have you moved on to the Infinity series?

...

What videogames let me single handedly save the animation industry by blending both the best parts of Western and japanese animation?

Life is unfair.

i dont see tits on the video

...

EXTRA

The last 5 hours were to complex for you.

How long have you been waiting to use that webm and get those trips sonny Jim

Leftists, upon finding 3 fictional works that do something similar, give it a witty name and declare it a trope. Meanwhile they can't detect any patterns in reality, such as niggers having low IQ. Sad!

Time travel is a way for lazy writers to make a story that seems more "epic"

Heiss did nothing wrong.

You just wanted to talk about samurai jack, isn't OP?

When did Deadpool's robot dad join the show?

Have not played a lot of the Legacy of Kain, but they have fantastic soundtracks.

you don't really play lok tbh

you mean cliche? tropes don't exist, they aren't a real thing.

In the 5000 years or so of recorded history everything has been done.

I don't see why people get upset over tropes. They work, obviously.

tropes aren't a real thing, it is called a cliche when in written works.

They're synonyms. That's like saying guns aren't a real thing because the proper term is firearm.
Trope predates cliche btw

...

Cliche in the form you're used to seeing it is a pretty modern French word, whereas trope has meant basically the same thing since it was tropus in Latin and earlier tropos in ancient Greece

NEVER EXISTED

One of the best time travel themed games.
Also has one of the best opening cinematics.

The only really bad parts were how poorly they tied VLR's plot into the game, and all the long-winded explanation and excessive use of the phrase "mental hacking" in the final reveal


There were a surplus of tits in the episode
With mostly visible nips and lots of jiggle
The move to adult swim has done wonders already

The closest we've gotten so far is the new Zeldo, what with the long stretches of nature walking in silence and all. I don't think Samurai Jack would ever work in 3D thanks to the art style, but a game heavily influenced by it could work really well.

FF8.

No game has done time travel better.

The animation is stiff and the voice acting is garbage, who watches this trash?

...

Yeah it looks awkward and clunky, completely lacking any fluidity.

I've got to agree. I never watched Samurai Jack but watched that whole fight scene and it was pretty shit tbh. Wakfu is another series I don't watch yet this fight is far better on ever level: choreography, fluidity, style, pacing, camera cuts. If Jack has better to offer please share.

fuck off dipshit
it was GOAT, you're just a faggot.

You are comparing four dudes on a small studio vs professional french animators that may I remind you ARE FRENCH! It's almost like comparing bioware animator with a professional, experienced Disney animator.

Jack still aint as good storywise or animated as wakfu

Sure, I don't fault them for that. Also forgot to mention the out of left field fight scene as more as a reply to

in regards to an example of blending western and japanese animation style to make a sick fight scene. Also apologies for the AMV, couldn't be arsed to find the source clip.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven/All Star Battle
Shit's got you covered with time travel bullshit.

that guy is just a "MUH FAMILY MEME, I CANT GO BACK I FUCKED UP SORRY MONSIEOUR"
go eat a baggette

...

I dont watch that shit, I dont watch degenerate media

>>>Holla Forums

by the way, its based in a mmo? let that sink in to you for a moment.

hope he shows himself up in this "new" season of jack

its based on a multimedia franchise

As a counter example all the old school Xiao Xiao animations were done by one guy and are better than the Jack fight scene as well. Granted the majority of the bits of that scene are ripped off from various Jet Li and Jackie Chan movies but really who isn't just rehashing shit these days? Manpower limitations are irrelevant to the choreography, pacing, and over all style of the scene. I am more forgiving on fluidity since that is where having more man power and better animators will really show the gap.

user, you're so abstract, how can one even begin to argue against you?

Grats faggot you fit in now ask around for your complimentary nintendo wallpaper and FO4 DLC discout code.

watch this and tell me if you notice the difference in quality

I'll concede at this point I'm shitting all over this thread with random fight choreography autism. In my defense I did start by jumping in on a convo which was somewhat tangentially related to this thread :^)

Achron, a strategy game where you use time travel to best your opponent.

Please, the game gets an almost literal Deus Ex Machina with the whole alien time space teleporter and it shits on Akene to make Delta shine. The game starts okay, the it gets good when the SHIFT gets abused but it drops the ball horrible once Delta outplays everyone. Zero the 3rd is best Zero

I saw some nipples but there was no jiggle or anything like that.

Are you seriously comparing a 1 vs 1 fight to a 1 vs many fight? Not only that, but a fight that's the climax to a 3 part episode to a fight in the first episode of a season? A better comparison would be to the first fight with Aku in the pilot in terms of quality.

he's fighting the same robots there, one has more detail the other does not

Are you talking about the fight in the opening scene?

obviously

Well yeah, if you're making a 10+ minute fight scene that's acting as payoff to a 3 part episode you're going to put in more detail and effort than if you're making a 2 minute opening fight who's main purpose is to show that Jack wears armor, has a motorcycle, uses guns, and doesn't bother interacting with the people he saves anymore.

Ignore the ID change, the video could only be viewed in Canucksville

...

so explain this then

If you're going to complain that the fight doesn't measure up to one of the top 5 episodes from a show with over 50 it makes it hard to take you seriously. It would be better for your argument if you compared it to a more average episode, but even then this season started out by hitting the average the original run didn't reach until halfway through season 2.

it's not cherry picking if every robot had details when jack cut them in the first season

I could go on to say that his bike was a 3d model at one part too

Like i said op, if you wanted to talk about cartoons you should have made a thread on Holla Forums and not on a VIDEO GAME related board, but what does a faggot like me know, right?

That's what you're mad about? Because the only shot in that opening fight that didn't have "details" (by details I assume you mean things like circuitry when he cuts them) was when he was running over the bugs with his bike.

You're right, you are a faggot

Achron. It's a RTS where time travel is a core mechanic (so, uh, it's not very real-time, because there are multiple simultaneously flowing time-waves to manage and you can rewind and fast forward to change the past or future - the multiplayer is fucking insane because everyone is messing around through time simultaneously and you can be crushing a base one moment only to discover he changed the past and created the base in another location in the next timewave and your units are standing around doing nothing). Game looks like shit unfortunately, because the time travel mechanics are dope as fuck.

o.k then

That sounds fucking insane. Does anyone still play it?

pic related

there's lots more off about it but you want to call me autistic over one reason why so hey here's a picture too for you

The only other reason you mentioned was that Jack's bike is a 3D model in 2 shots that wouldn't have worked if they'd drawn it. I would have preferred it if they'd rotoscoped it but it blended well enough to not be too distracting. Any other complaints

Telling you right now, it's fucking garbage. The concept is great but they fucked up one thing that really screwed the entire game. Path finding. You have to babysit all of your units because they can't figure out how to go around a building and will get stuck walking straight into it. If they have to zigzag up a ramp you have to guide them manually up it or they will get jammed half way up trying to go up the cliff face. It is fucking infuriating and made me drop the game within two hours. Not only that but the units will take a long time to react to things shooting at them, some times long enough to have most of your squad dead before the rest of them returns fire.
Yes the time travel mechanic is amazing and cool but holy shit that is one neat feature in an otherwise unplayable game that falls flat on even basic tasks necessary to do fucking anything else.

Not sure. Ultimately the game is amateurish to a severe fault, which really lets down the incredible core mechanic.

There's also the vast difference in budget between the DOFUS MOVIE THAT WAS SHOWN IN THEATERS and the late night cartoon that's made on a budget. Samurai Jack looks damn good artistically, fluidity isn't everything.


Season 1 is the only one with a decent plot, and over half of it is generic filler shit. Season 2 is pretty bad, and the OVAs are goddamn trash in regards to plot.

I'll concede that the opening fight in SJ wasn't the best, but it's purpose was different. Scatbot battle was damn good, and they're likely to only get better as the show progresses and the team finds it's feet.


True, the art style presents a problem, but I think a talented team could find a way around it if they really tried. Breath of the Wild is pretty close to Samurai Jack, it's been kind of scratching the itch, but still.

Also Jack's sword didn't break in ten fucking hits goddamnit, the Master Sword should not be that goddamn fragile.

I don't get why they went that route, there are countless better solutions. Make it so that if you use the Master Sword a lot more, stronger enemies will spawn. Make it so that more Yiga guys will attack you, and in groups. Make it so that the sword's power is tied to your health. These are all ideas that took me less than a minute to come up with. I guess the problem is that most of the solutions require large, global changes to the world (aside from the health one, which would probably be somewhat annoying to deal with) and Nintendo were barely able to implement more than 4 or 5 main enemy types, let alone have a way to track the player's habits and have spawns react accordingly.

Even then, the master sword is comparatively weak to other weapons you can get unless you're using it against Ganon(s). At the very least the durability should be tripled, or you just have it recharge when sheathed. Having to break it when I get the warning in order to get the sword back later is fucking retarded.

Cuhcrazy

there's lots of scenes in the old seasons with vehicles that go on longer then that scene did which weren't 3dmodels but I'd just be cherry picking again right

alot of jacks character development is utterly ignored because he's had lots of times where he's had doubts and been made harsh thanks to aku but those trails only strengthened jacks resolve

how they handled Mako Iwamatsu no longer living by keeping aku at a distance instead of just embracing the fact and replacing aku somehow

how jacks is being haunted by his family when in actual he's already come to terms with the fact that dealing with aku is more important

they fucked up having those girls being more of the focus then the actual assassin bot jack fights at the end there since a quick explanation when the fight comes or even later down the line would have made the pacing of this ep alot better then it was

the stupid fucking aliens jack saves using that silly way to talk, it's like he wanted something interesting but then said fuck it and went with something which was quick to do but still appealing

the weird golem which came apart like cheese to that I'm guessing trident jack used and then threw away

Have you ever seen a turning vehicle done in hand-drawn animation? Even in high-budget movies they had trouble getting it right and most resorted to rotoscoping footage of moving cars. The shots in question would not look good if they were done on a TV show's budget. Other than those two shots that (that are each under 1 second) the bike is drawn, not modeled.

This time he's actually lost his sword, the only means he has of defeating Aku. That, and the events of the original show all take place fairly early after Jack's arrival in the future, all at least within 5 years. It's been 10 times that by the time the show starts up. After 50 years of failure and no way to kill Aku I think his issues are fairly justified.

They did replace Aku, and it seems like they're going to minimize his use since the replacement they chose (the same used for Iroh), while good, is still a noticeabley different person. There's no easy way around the issue and Aku hiding makes sense considering all the close calls he had with Jack in the show.

When did that happen? In the mountain monk episode the whole reason he gets strength to go on is because he remembers his family.

There weren't more of a focus, they took up less screen time than Jack's exploits. It seems like they're going to be plot focus this season so it would feel cheap if they described their backstory in under a minute.

Autism speaks I guess

Jack's been destroying rocks like it's nothing since day one, is it really only just bothering you now?

except that use of 3D it looked alright. Nothing really impressive or interesting. The 3D was horrendous and is going to go down as a black mark on the series.

lots of times, in the old season, the ep where jack is naked comes to mind

this is a man who's been cucked out of a time portal so many times he's gotten used to it, I highly doubt loosing his sword would mean he just throws away all of his traditions comforts instead what means sense is that he goes looking for another way or try and find out how to make another sword

do you not remember the ep where aku challenges jack to a fight without magic powers or swords?

he drinks from a river and the leafs turn into his father and mother then lots of easy to copypaste zombie looking fuckers. then later on jack finds an imagine of his father in some fire and finally he flips out while fighting that scatbot thinking the rocks are children and yeah family is one of his strengths, it's never been his weakness

so it's a subplot in the first ep? nah that shit should be it's own ep to actually give me a reason to care about that one girl who totally isn't going to join jack and be a strong female lead

fuck off they could have used facial expressions and rubbed antennae then had some device which translates that shit for jack

he couldn't even throw a rock much less destroy one and I don't remember ever seeing it happen so if you can cherry pick an example for us I'd like to see

I was just going to bed too. Now i have to find more porn of her for fapping

I enjoy being the cancer destroying the board and treating it as Holla Forums with video games
Not for long…

that's a cuckchan reasoning if I've ever saw one

...

Yeah, they should've brought on someone more savvy in making the other stuff more solidly worked out. I mean shit the very concept of the Beach and what players do in it is fucking awesome.

I'd agree if it was just season 1 but 2 and the OVA's are such trash.

There's only so many times a man can fail before he gives up, no matter how strong his will. His current mental state makes sense, and his development this season is clearly going to be him getting back to his roots. 50 years of failure is a long fucking time.


You mean the episode where Aku learned definitively that he stands literally no chance against Jack even with him being at a sever disadvantage while using every dirty trick in the book? Aku has gotten his ass kicked enough by Jack to know that facing him is a good way to get fucking killed, so he avoids him, that makes a lot of sense.


The crushing humiliation of realizing that he's utterly failed his family could very easily turn that strength into a weakness. Come on, this is like character writing 101 here.


Holy shit, you actually are autistic. That's arguably the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard on the planet. Let's take this really simple and easy to understand visual shorthand that gives these aliens a unique system of communication that the viewer can easily comprehend, make it ten times as complicated and confusing, all to satisfy the 'tism of some stupid faggot on the internet.


Not that user, but it's really not that hard to believe that Jack could use his weaponry to destroy some rocks. He cuts through thick metal on the regular, rocks aren't a stretch.


At least Dofus and it's movie was pretty good. I have very little hope for season 3 of Wakfu, though.

he was literately brought up and made to do nothing but slaying aku and putting an end to his evils

yeah the one that starts with aku saying that he can get away from jack no matter what, which is my point, aku likes to personally fuck with jack and he does so whenever possible

he's not dead


you're exaggerating here, stop that shit


with his magic sword and only really cutting it in half sure but not poke a chunk out of it with a trident thing like it was nothing that he got from some thing we don't know

im even more surprised there is fresh river water on earth in the future. how the fuck is that even possible.

I always thought that jack was traveling across multiple different planets in the future?

also aku might need fresh water too?

Nox was the only good thing in Wakfu, everything else was dreck

I always attributed that sort of thing to aku/minions destroying the surrounding civilization and then nature reclaiming the land if they didn't capitulate to aku.

i thought that too but there are several episodes that hint that he's still in earth. aliums are the ones actually visiting us.

you might be on to something here

Not to barge in with my shit opinions, but can't help but interject for a moment.
He couldn't return home due to (almost) every portal to the past being destroyed. Also 50 years have passed. When you know you must do something and you're not doing it, it causes a sort of anxiety and stress in a person. Honestly most of the shit you guys are talking about can be explained by "muh future tech or mug magic".

It's like you guys aren't even trying.

he hasn't been doing it for his entire life, he's been cucked out of it many times and he's dealt with that frustration within him self plenty of times, even to the point of fighting his inner deamons

is that the 300 episode? I don't remember him fighting alongside that guy. Besides, Jack was sent to the future. Im pretty sure anyone from Jack's original timeline is dead.

I'm not going to read/answer your every essay but I was scrolling and landed on your autism so I'll address some of it

Nigger it's been one episode, do you seriously think they're just going to downplay Aku the whole way through? Why do you think they need Aku showing up in episode 1, especially now that the silly let-you-get-away shit is done and Jack is utterly helpless without his sword?
Unless there's a TWEEST, he'll be revealed big and grand, and the VA will lack the strength and richness of Mako, but Mako was a special lad.
How are you this triggered over a couple of background characters that lasted all of two minutes? They were cute and plenty interesting for the fucking nothing they were narrative-wise. Fuck, they conveyed more personality and garnered more sympathy in that one snippet than Aishe did in her whole rough upbringing montage.
Scatbot gave up on reanimating it in favor of slapping Jack around with actual rocks. If you didn't notice, he's an arrogant bastard who's showing off his repertoire the whole fight. Also Jack still has the trident, he spins it up to kill a big bug bot in the next ep's preview, you casual scum.
Maybe because after 50 years of horseshit and failures, then losing his barest hope down a bottomless pit, he's actually feeling truly defeated for the first time? Dealing with Aku is paramount, but he feels he can't even do that now. Hence the guilt. Same for your first complaint, he's been worn down and lost the only thing that he had going for him.

Anyway, this whole thread is some pathetic le cynicism is cool meme shit. There were a few things wrong with the ep (overall I was not disappointed) but you're focusing on non-issues. Non-criticism isn't smart or helpful, it muddies the water for actual critique and creates ain't-broke-fixing situations.

...

No it's not, you stupid fuck. Words get assigned different meanings on their common usage and associated meanings. Like how using the word "tropes" makes you a cancerous faggot.

I bet you're one of the illiterate mexicans who get butthurt when people use words longer than the subhuman grunts you give when ordering your tacos

The 300 episode, yeah. It ends with a timeskip of the spartan on what looks like his deathbed saying he never saw the samurai again.

...

The west still has a LOOONG way to go

Your shitposting's gone too far, Marche..

But that was one of the good parts of the game
It was a way to explore concepts that were already present in the story, just through a different method
It also had the most interesting puzzle room, but that's a different matter entirely

...

is genndy still the director?

yes
he did a live Q&A on AS stream before the premier and first caller was some cringey fuck bogposting and saying 'BTFO'

You don't get it.
ALL the time portals have been destroyed and he lost his sword. This means it's impossible for jack to win.

What was wrong with how they handled it? This episode was mostly to show how Jack himself is doing and they didn't have the benefit of a 3 episode premier this time around. Not like Aku was ever persistent in the original show either, he'd show up for few minutes at a time to monologue and on occasion have an episode where he'd fight Jack.

Wait that's the new samurai jack cartoon? Holy shit it looks a lot like original show.

I've been debating whether to write how absolutely garbage the first episode is or not, some of the things are being covered here like the absolutely absurd "oh no muh family is mad that more time has passed… because 50 years really matters compared to 500+ years", the horrible pacing, etc.

The worst thing about it is that its full of the worst and most overused anime tropes. And as a seasonal anime nobody would be watching it because its just that bad. If you like Samurai Jack season 5. Just fucking give up on western cartoons and go watch some anime instead. Any anime, because they are already as good as Samurai Jack season 5.

If I was to compare it to anything I would compare it to Legend of Korra.

Final note that's directed straight at the people writing this season of Samurai Jack:
WE GET IT, YOU SAW MAD MAX. NOBODY FUCKING CARES.

Is that what you took out of the episode?
How the fuck do you tie your shoes in the morning?

you like men dude

...

Holy shit you're retarded

That's not even close to a good comparison. The first thing you see in the series premiere of Korra is the main character being an obnoxious bitch, followed by destruction of the previous show's lore.

Like what? Is fighting people an anime trope? Is painful training an anime trope? Are long sections of quiet an anime trope?

As I said earlier, you are literally retarded

So you haven't actually watched the episode? Because they made it clear those were hallucinations that were fucking with his psyche.

Fuck back off to /a/

actually his guilt is because after decades of struggle and failure he has lost the only thing that could achieve his goal, the sword that all his hopes had ridden on
his current running and fighting aimlessly are a betrayal of his purpose, as the proper course would be to either try to get his sword out of that funky bottomless pit or search for a new way to defeat Aku, but it's just too much to bear and he's fighting himself over it internally
but I'm pretty sure you're not really retarded and know all of this because your anime/LoK references and fallacies are all tuned to rile someone up

Holy shit do you not see it's depicting jack going nuts? During the later fight you can even see they show him persuading thin air.

Why hasn't this off topic thread been deleted yet?
I reported it multiple times.

Time travel is never done right.

Damn nigga you dumb as hell.

Because you're a faggot

MOTHER, MY BRAIN HURTS

That's funny because I can't think of an anime in the last 3 seasons I enjoyed as much as this.

By the way you are a total dumb shit forr not understanding why Jack got those visions.

From what I understand players don't use the beach that much. It's mostly good for skipping base defenses but you only have 48 seconds tops (unless you use your own timesight to prolong beach time, which might buy you long enough time to charge up and chronoport something out of the beach, but that's very finicky business).

In other news, apparently last week the maker of Achron said that there might be engine upgrades in the works for Achron.

Except this Ep had a great fight and it is one of the best 1v1 fights the series has had.

FUCKING CHECKED

...

...

I didn't watch the new episode
That fight scene was okay. I dunno, maybe I expected more.

AAAAKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

you know for a fact that the only people who watch it are the people who jerk off to the characters.

Fight scenes were fine. Anyone complaining about them (and I could find some things mostly with the music robot) are just nitpicking. But the fact is also that they're very unimpressive when compared to, lets say currently airing anime. There are GAG ANIME that do better fight scenes in the CURRENT YEAR. So if you come to Samurai Jack for the fight scenes… you have no reason to watch it because there are already many others that do it better. And you can't call the entire show amazing, great or even good just based off the fight scenes. You have to judge the whole package.

I really like it when wordplay is able to be translated perfectly like this
The best part is it works even better in english

That all depends on what you think makes a good fight. I can't stand generic shounen fighting that is in most anime.

This fight is big and loud but the actual choreography happening isn't very impressive, aside from the way red hair brings hat dude to the ground by coiling around his arm. That's what the main difference between western and eastern fight scenes are. In western shows the focus is more on the blow-to-blow aspect and keeping the action fast, with few stills. Most anime (including the scene you posted) have long shots where they have a still of the character(s) while voice over plays of someone either analyzing the opponent's tactics or some plot/character driven monologue. If most anime fights were played back in real time they wouldn't last more than 10-20 seconds, which is fine, but it's an entirely different kind of fight you're talking about.

Again. Anime is seasonal. Its not long running and overextending itself besides a few examples that everyone admits are garbage.

What I want to know is. What is a "generic shounen fighting"? Do you mean Dragonball? Because that's far from the standard. In fact fights like that are the exception, not the rule at this point. And that just serves to show that you never actually bothered to look at anime and just saw what was popular 10 years ago and decided that all anime was going to be like that, forever.

Again I am limiting myself to the currently airing anime here when I show examples.

This one was much better in terms of choreography than the first one (which I would consider generic shounen fighting), but the problem with comparing these is that the Jack fight you're trying to shit on is the first 1v1 fight of the show, while these are climax fights well into their respective shows.

right, you gotta judge when the fight is taking place.

Embed related here (tried to convert it, can't get it under 14 mb) is the 5th episode of a 6 episode series. There were fights earlier on and they ended really fast, this one gets dragged out because of various reasons and is one of my favorite anime fights (NEED the USrenditions dub of this, the MANGA re-dub is horseshit)

GRIIIIIFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTHHHH

Is definitely not the typical fighting.
A lot of movies and anime and cartoons have fights that are useless. They are just frantic imagery which signal almost nothing. Having a "badass" character fly around and take down a bunch of things doesn't really convey much and it is basically just white noise.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DO IT FAGGGGOT!

ChronoCross

poorly drawn butt

AAAAGHHH LIIQUUUUUUUUUD!

Samurai Jack's animation was always a bit stiff, but the choreography is fantastic.

So when is Megas XLR getting a new season?

...

That ass is ripe for pillaging.

this shit is the worst kinda ironic shitposting do your self a favor and kill your self, that being sad though now that I've slept and I have the mind to actaully answer all your double questions


yes, they pretty much have to because no one is going to be satisfied with someone else, so they may as well replace him entirely which can be done and be interesting character development to and quite honestly it's pretty much the same deal with loosing his sword

he's not helpless what so ever, he can deal with every problem aku sends at him asides from actually ending aku keep in note that aku doesn't know for some stupid reason considering he always has his magic mirror watching jacks moves at all points which wasn't explained yet


they were poorly done and were only as they were because they couldn't figure out how to do that sort of thing properly, that's what I don't like about them, that there's a better way to do what they did but they choose not to because their way was quicker to think up

yeah I agree but only because they were as blunt as possible and that whole bits with akus womans were poorly done too, that's why they should have been more their own ep since I think that it would allowed more time for people to actually care and their characters maybe expanded that is to say only if they're not going to last much longer


he's had lots of success saving people though, if you hadn't noticed he also gets his strength from those people too just not as much as his family and loosing the sword isn't that's it he's done jack has encountered lots of strange and wonderful magics throughout his travels and the fact that he really thinks there's nothing else out there to defeat aku with is abit of a stretch much less the whole feeling defeated shit people think he is, he's in a slump if he was truly in disrepair then he wouldn't be saving people nor would he be fighting and this guilt is silly because there's lots of people he couldn't fucking protect and save due to lots of reasons mainly because he wasn't there to be able to, like the space moth ep, he helps those kids but he doesn't their race why? he knows about it but he just smiles and leaves them to it after fucking up hard on their own


doubt


he was alot more persistent then he is can be now, which is why replacing him is the better open


eh it was "o.k" there wasn't much movement to the fight its self and the scatbot really should have been more of the ep instead of those girls

...

Thats not the only thing they should revisit from sonic cd

fucking never, nigga

Zero the Third comes off as pretty rediculous and makes it hard for the player to get into the series if the player isn't farfamiliar with Japan's moon rabbit obsession.

Pot calling a kettle black.

If you're gonna count time skip as time travel might as well post this then.

...

why do anons like you have to be such pretentious cunts with your noses in the air on every little things.

...

REEEEEEEEEEEE

Lol your "reasons" are shit, nigger.

If you want a mindless circlejerk then go to reddit you retarded faggot.

No one wants a circlejerk, but when a samefag keeps repeating the same retarded statements about why he thinks something is shit and repeatedly gets BTFO on each point only to do it again people are bound to get tired of it.

I watched and finished the anime recently, cried like a bitch when Kurisu was deleted from existence.

so whats the win condition? travel back to the beginning of time and shoot your enemies parents?

It's been only one episode and you're already judging it.

...

Retard, you got wrecked by over half a dozen anons already.

Let your butthurt flow

You're not very bright, are you?

It's not the equivalent of a beta, given a beta already has fleshed out gameplay, enough to convey the core mechanics.

You're judging it by one episode, which is the equivalent of judging a book by its cover and first pages. Or in video game terms, the first hour of an game.

I am fairly certain the show will have good and bad moments, but there will be really shining scenes which will make the new season worth watching. The darker tone for the show is already a plus. You don't watch gendy for good animation to begin with. You watch gendy for the good direction. It shows you were born before his early work or you're just retarded.

...

Excellent.

...

I'd recommend re-watching the original, user. It had plenty of flaws, too. Having flaws is not synonymous with being shit.

Can you project any harder user?

How could you forget this fine horror game?

Enjoy your inferior product, I bet you think the new anime series is going to be good and not a confusing pile of plotlines. You should at least watch the movie if you aren't going to pirate the two VNs.

Not sure what it is you wanted to say with that post. Here are some ways it can be interpreted. Pick something or elaborate on what you wanted to actually say. You just seem to be shittalking the original series because you want to look away from the new season being shit?

did they forget to stop the ground? This is horrible looking.

If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.

...

No you dumb shit. You are so stupid you can't even understand what's going on in a cartoon. People showed how stupid you were and you still don't understand it.

This is far less QUALITY than most anime.

Driver: Parallel Lines is. Not necessarily time travel, but you play at two different points in time and at the end of the game, you can freely switch between the two. I really enjoyed the game on the Wii.

is bretty nice*
Forgot some words somehow.

Kek. I love when an user pretends he didn't just get wrecked and tries to ignore it. It really turns me on.

Please keep going.

You're comparing stick figures to Mona Lisa. And saying that Mona Lisa looks worse.

This is how far Holla Forums reaches when it wants to defend cartoons. Cartoons don't have merit, so they nitpick about other media instead. And whenever someone tries to discuss cartoons on their own merit they get straw-manned because there is no way to defend cartoons. Watch them continue to complain about anime so they can divert from the fact that Samurai Jack season 5 is shit. Even after being directly called out on it.

Both mediums are weak, real men stick with kino.

To be faaaaair, they did the show entirely in photoshop.

You're both gigantic faggots. Why not, I don't know, just watch whatever you want, be it western animation like Samurai Jack or whatever the latest anime is?

You faggots, both Holla Forums and /a/, are basically just consolewar faggots. MY shit smells better than YOUR shit fuck you! Except even more pathetic, because it's even less of a commitment to watch a show than it is to buy a console. Ya'll should really just kill yourselves fam.


It's also like, four-five guys working on a tight budget. It's nowhere near bad enough to warrant being called shit.

Centrism, for when you know you've lost the argument, but still want to claim moral high ground while calling everyone else faggots.

This faggot got so wrecked and now he's trying to project he didn't lose. Sad!

...

Yeah, a lot of anime has larger teams that they underpay or outsource to foreign countries like korea.

Keep you pathetic damage control instead off addressing the posts that destroyed you.

This thread makes me want to download the whole SJ show (I've never seen the whole thing, just individual episodes on TV when I occasionally tuned in).

Sure user, whatever you say. Yeah, Samurai Jack doesn't look as good as an anime, but my point still stands. Why bitch and moan about one medium being 'superior' to another when ultimately there's nothing stopping you from not watching or watching either/or.

Only a stupid faggot would blindly ally themselves to one side of a medium simply out of some misguided sense of devotion. Again, like a consolewar faggot.


You're just pathetic dude. I like anime, I like Samurai Jack, it's like negative effort on my part to just watch whichever one I want whenever I want.


It's pretty good, though there's no real overarching plot to speak of. It came from that time where everything had to be really episodic so they could air it out of order. It shouldn't be very hard to find a download, a lot of the show was also uploaded to Youtube, though a lot of I think season 2 got axed by the copyright axe.

From what I saw, there were some recurring characters, like that goddamn scotsman, now that was a character.

You won't miss much by not watching most of them. They're not strongly linked the final season aside from the few characters like the scotsman.

The only thing that you need to know about is the intro.

it's gud pretty much from the git go but there's afew eps which are utter trash, like the final ep of season 4

They're the exception more than the rule, you definitely should watch The Scotsman stuff in order, though. He appears in episode one, and then like once a season from there on. He's a real treat.

I meant season one, my bad.

Yeah like 30 people at utmost peak on the most highly financed studios/anime. While (popular) cartoons often have HUNDREDS on a single episode.

Ah so its projecting now. I wonder what the next excuse is.

I can't stop writing because I can't stop giggling at how fucking blatantly angry you are that you came in too late to be the first one to bring up anime yourself.

It's way more than that with regards to franchises like Naruto and films like Akira. It's likely even more because they outsource between studios as well.

Fucking Inferno Cop of all things was outsourced.

Oh man this is going to be hilarious. Bring up Sailor Moon Crystal. Come on, do it. DO IT!

Ah wait you probably don't even know about it. And none of this will ever even become relevant to the simple fact that Samurai Jack season 5 is shit. Y'all just distracting from it because you can't defend it on its own merits.

Sorry homie. You said "highly financed studios/anime", so I highlighted "highly financed studios/anime".

Its funny how stupid the average /a/non is that they can't understand basic subtext unless it is spoonfed to them like in map cartoons made for autistics. You literally are so dumb that a western cartoon stumped you.
Now fuck off back f/a/ggot.

Yeah user, its shit because you don't understand how jack losing his sword would effect him. Sorry everyone in the thread is laughing at you.

What are you even talking about you slackjawed retard?

Calm down there lad, you're sounding awful upset. Maybe you should take a step away from the computer, hug your bodypillow and straighten your Naruto headband. Maybe snack on a little pocky, it'll make you feel better.

If your examples of "highly financed anime" is fucking Naruto then you're just saying anime is superior or that you are just trying to talk about things you know absolutely nothing about because holy fuck.

Keep distracting though, because this is wonderful.

Keep the strawmen coming. Since I know you need to distract away from the fact that SJ5 is shit.

Hahahahahahaha exactly as I said he was going to act. And he outs himself as a furfag too. This is too good.

Don't bother. He is in damage control mode after getting destroyed here
He can't handle anything that is quite or requires the person to take in the show without explosions or taking every second.l

Eh, most anime is produced within 2 weeks of airing, its kind of insane what the studios go through. You have a few stinkers where they clearly run out of money or just plain do not fucking care, but its obvious who is leading the animation industry, and it's not californian and canadian studios producing 11 minute episodes at 40,000 dollars a piece with 60 members on staff, but rather odd no names like studio 3hz who produced one of the most visually striking shows in a decade, despite clear budgetary problems towards the end of the show. The first minute of episode 1 of flip flappers is more kinetic and involved than the entirety of epsiode 1 of season 5 for samurai jack.

I think bad japanese animation is largely not animated, but rather stills of out of focus characters, whic is what many of these QUALITY examples are. Most of which are cleaned up for the blu rays. QUALITY western animation is oddly, character assets literally clipping in each other, as seen in the new power puff girls, or a scrolling cgi floor that is out of sync with movement and animation, with no effort like particles for depth. Something basic failed.

This is just pathetic. You can't even understand that jack was hallucinating because of his failure and now that you got called on it you just spam shit.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

THIS IS HOW DESPERATE SJ5FAGS ARE!

It's highly financed because of it's widespread success, there's no denying that.

They're not made in two weeks. They're made within a few months according to bahijd.

How are multiple anons dismantling your shit argument a straw man? Also you clearly have shit taste in anime too. /a/ must be mad that SJ is better than any anime release since Mob and even that probably isn't on the same level.

AHAHAHAHAHA

There's no way he isn't baiting, just filter and move on. Stop acting like cuckchanners.

...

Ok user. Why is SJ shit? The only reason you gave was completely destroyed by half the anons in this thread.
Poor weeaboo, so dumb a cartoon on adult swim is too complex.

I love that you guys keep coming back so I can repost
PFFFFHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

So no actual argument. keep shitposting.
It's funny because I actually saw a thread on /a/ yesterday where most of them were willing to admit SJ is probably the best thing airing this season before the angry mod deleted it. Even other /a/non's know the truth.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Samurai Jack is shit because his eyeballs aren't the size of his head and there arent five-year old girls running around in swimsuits so I can normalize my pedophilia by saying 'muh mainstream anime aesthetics.'"

-t. /a/

Does what?
Are you suffering the from brain damage user? Are you really this mad that the current anime season isn't very good but Samurai Jack is?

...

This isn't a console war thread faggot. There aren't "Sides". Unless you think you are on Japan's side in which case kek.
You still can't show why Samurai Jack isn't the best cartoon of the last few months and yes that includes anime.

...

What side user? This is the strangest way of weaseling out of an argument I have heard. Is all of /a/ this autistic now?

Also considering you are the only person as retarded as yourself in this thread that means if there were sides it would be everyone else vs you.

...

This is some hardcore damage control and you still haven't made an argument. I guess there is no point in playing this autistic game with you if you can't come up with one.

Whats the next logical fallacy you pull out?

The new show still hasn't lost a beat after 13 years fucking amazing.

Not necessarly, Even his father tried to teach him before he fought aku that it's not the sword but himself and his own skills that will defeat Aku.

He believes that his inital plan to find a time portal and just go back in time has failed and he has no way of defeating Aku. However He can still find the sword some how and the people of the Future still need him right now.

wew lad /a/utism is real

He doesn't even need to find the original sword.
What's stopping him from asking the 3 monks to make him another sword?

You got verbally destroyed. Just quietly leave. You're making a fool of yourself.

But the VN is just a slideshow of pictures, I'm already on Chapter 1 and there isn't any decision making that I was expecting.

This is some pretty sad damage control. Why do anons think shitposting will somehow get them out of the hole instead of digging it deeper?

If there is any proof that reddit has invaded Holla Forums this is it.

Either that or people here have fuck all ideas about how animation is produced.

They are like console fanboys that must call every game that isn't on their console trash just replace console with country they never visited.

hating doesnt make you fit in

ram may be one of the few interesting characters
