Metroid V: Dread(ing the future for the franchise)

I don't understand why any of y'all are making this a big deal.

Sandboxes aren't private, obviously. And no-one should need permission to share them. People obviously shouldn't take them as something final, but if they do, it's on them for wasting their time by jumping the gun.

Also, revisions someone's working on aren't something people need to post a public announcement about, so it's weird to present it as something being hidden.

And just as people are allowed to plan revisions without announcing that publicly, people are able to talk about others' planned revisions without announcing it publicly. I think it's ultimately ineffective for people to do things behind closed doors like this, but I don't think it's anything deserving of a backlash.

Yes, I basically agree with this.

I don't think that tells the full story. What's even scummier to me is the "us vs. them" mentality being pushed, like Armor's the big bad enemy that needs to be planned for because he's planning Metroid revisions. Pretty sure Armor was already treated as public enemy #1 for the Mario revisions, we don't need this again...

I think that was reading wayy too much into StretchSebe's post. Perhaps you'd think justifiably so given the history between them, but reading it while putting context side it is a pretty neutral post. It's just saying "Armor's planning a downgrade, might wanna gather evidence for the current tiers." That is actually a very ordinary way of talking about things.

 

[CloverDragon03]

Agree to disagree I guess...

 

[JJSliderman]

I agree that “get your evidence to counter the debunk” does kind of sound bad out of context.

 

[Armorchompy]

It sounds kind of bad in context...

Anyhow, here's the first thread. I wanted to add some P&A additions in too so it wasn't just downgrading a feat but then it got very long and I didn't want to make it any longer.

@Armorchompy Pathetic, you need to make gigantic CRTs to knock everything out in one go. Get on with the sigma grindset.

 

[Armorchompy]

Alright next one is 30000 pages discussing every feat (will pass by default because nobody's gonna read it)

Unfortunately nobody reading long ass things

 

[CloverDragon03]

Unfortunately nobody reading long ass things

That's the strat: make a long ass thread and everyone will agree with it because who's gonna actually read it to try and counter it

Unless someone does do that, in which case you're screwed because then everyone will agree with the counter instead

[Theglassman12]

Exactly, true sigma grindset is not only making long CRTs but refuting long CRTs as well.

Wiki Vandalism Reports

I ain´t sure if this counts as vandalism, but this user created a page with a calculation that wasn´t approved I don't see a problem there, even if they didn't got their calculation accepted, Tiers between 9-A and 3-B, even those which do correspond with their namesakes, should not be assigned...

Does anyone happen to know if there's any archive of the Metroid Prime website? It had a lot of lore (Including stuff like Zebes and Tallon's sizes, P&A and weight for Samus' gunship and statements of the GF's size, as well as a lot more misc lore) but as far as I can tell it's completely lost media, besides some random bits having been copied on the Metroid wiki (which is... not the best form of archival, especially given there's no screenshots), and wayback, which doesn't actually work. It's not even on Flashpoint, the Flash archival system, which I really hoped might have it- has some other official Metroid stuff, but not that.

 

[JJSliderman]

There are some accessible pages via this link in wayback machine: http://www.metroid.com/prime/, not sure if this would lead to all the necessary data.

 

[Armorchompy]

Yeah, doesn't seem to. It's supposed to be this one, but ruffle doesn't properly emulate it.
