    Big round of applause for Nintendo. Nothing but good reviews on 3DS and the games for it. All we need is a price range and the release date, and ill surely buy one.

    Oh come on, the joker is not a super villain.


    If you dont like that example, how about Poison Ivy? Clayface? Killer Croc? Killer Moth? Man-Bat? Solomon Grundy?

    Seriously, what powers does Sylar have to be able to even take out his helmet? Magneto has a powerful shield. While Sylar is busy figuring out or trying to take out his helmet, Magneto will launch ALOT of metal objects, create magnetic pulses or just crush him with the shield itself.

    I cant really see Sylar winning this. No matter what power Sylar has, Magneto has already faced someone who has those same powers.

    Grapple. Fly to the moon. Suffocate. Win.


    WoW...

    You really have no idea what Magneto's powers are. Magneto can survive in space. He just turns on his shield while in earth and the air inside it stays there. Where did it show that Sylar can survive in space? Magneto can just decapitate Sylar or pierce several metals at the back of Sylar's head even if Sylar's achilles heel at the back of his head is hard to find.

    Magneto wins this, No contest.

  • posted a message on NARUTO QUESTION:
    Quote from Felecorr
    Guys! Its like your jsut ignoring me here.

    All logic, reason or possibilities aside. Naruto is asleep, and no he doesnt have some prepared defensive technique while he's asleep. No, Deirdara does not wake naruto jsut to sport his arrogance.

    Naruto = Sleep
    Deidara = Garuda --> Naruto
    Direct hit w/o warning = DEAD? (yes or no?)

    Me and my cousin are still arguing about this every time we see eachother. :]


    Yes, Naruto dies. Sasuke had to sacrifice Manda just to escape C4 Garuda. Even if the Kyuubi can regenerate wounds/injuries, it wont be able to regenerate Naruto if he's blown to bits or if nothing was left of him. Even decapitation would do.

    Im just wondering what were your cousin's reasons why he wont die.

    Merriam Webster, again.

    Etymology: Latin heros, from Greek hērōs
    Date: 14th century

    2 a : the principal male character in a literary or dramatic work b : the central figure in an event, period, or movement

    Definitions that fit Batman are bolded.


    MERRIAM WEBSTER AGAIN.

    : a fictional hero having extraordinary or superhuman powers; also (NOT OR) : an exceptionally skillful or successful person

    The ones that fit Batman are bolded.

    Batman is a Hero. He can't do anything a regular person can't.



    Because its fun doing the dictionary game when the comics, which is the original and legit source, already says that he is a superhero and yet there are some who keeps arguing on it.



    Captain America can throw cars and break walls and such, with the use of his shield and physical strength. He even fought the Hulk.
    Batman cant.


    Because Captain America was an engineered-soldier while Batman wasnt and yet he was able to take on other superpowered beings..


    As defined by the quote you just used. It says also, not or. That would mean in addition to the first half, or with the absence of the second.



    The meaning was already correct then you added your own definition again. Thats why its in addition to, its part of the meaning of the word.


    Therefore he is not SUPER. He is a Hero, none the less.


    Then let's tell DC or the creators themselves (Bob Kane and Bill Finger) and tell them how wrong they were when they labeled their own creation a superhero and not a hero..

  • posted a message on Pacquiao vs Mayweather? When?!
    The big joke is Pacquiao turning down a multimillion dollar payday because he is afraid of needles. Really? He should suck it up and fight already. Right or wrong, he is going to have to answer questions about why he wouldnt test until he takes the fight. If he retires without fighting Mayweather, especially over not wanting a drug test, it will be a huge blow to his legacy.


    How will it be a blow?

    Who would you rather trust, a proven cheater or someone who hasnt cheated?

    Mayweather came in overweight at his previous match, denied the payment and just agreed to the $600k fine afterwards. Mayweather is just making ridiculous demands. Arum already said they are ok with the blood testing, at the announcement, 30 days before the fight and after the fight. Seriously, what drug isnt detected a few mins after the fight? They dont want USADA since they dont want to change the drug testing schedules. And how is that going to be on an even level? Physiologically and mentally Mayweather is at advantage, he has done USADA tests several times but Pacquiao hasnt. Like what previous posters has said before boxing is not only a physical fight, its a mental fight as well.

    Golden Boy Promotions makes me want to puke, such hypocrites. They said the same thing before, what Bob Arum is saying right now, when Judah requested for Mosley to do blood testing by the USADA and they declined the USADA tests and insisted on the Neveda test only.

    Quote from blitzer42
    I will like to see that fight and The new cowboy stadium honestly maskes a whole lot of sense it could generate so much venue and a bigger buzz as more people would be able to attend.

    But it looks like it may not happen as all this about testing and pacquiao not wanting to do it


    Pacquiao is ok with the testing, Mayweather is just scared of his pants and is finding excuses. Pacquiao has a superstition and he doesnt want any blood test 30 days before the fight but before and after that he is ok with any testing. And he also doesnt have any problems with urine tests, they can do it whenever they want, its only the blood test he has beliefs in.

    Seriously, whats wrong with that? Most drug you take can be detected in a urine test and it can be detected with a blood/urine test a few hours after a fight. Mayweather is just making a big fuss about nothing and acting like they should follow him. Bob Arum already facepalmed about this issue and its a big joke.

    The prefix Super- in this instance refers to Super powers no matter what anyone wants to think. People have linked the definition of Superhero.


    As defined by you?

    Merriam Webster likes to have a word with you.

    Quote from Three60
    My favorite part of this is that everyone assumes it's true because they want more blue, but completely denied that GGG vanilla creature. I'm fairly certain it's fake, as it doesn't need the kicker template. That's just an X, where X is doubled if blue mana was spent. I don't think they would waste new design space like that.


    How did everyone deny Leatherback Baloth? Is there ALOT of post im missing that said the Baloth was fake?

    Is it bad to discuss a "possible rumored" card in the rumor mill?

    Of course, it would always be pics or it didnt happen but you're saying that everyone is assuming its true just because its being discussed here?

    Facepalm

    Quote from WeNeedControl
    What is wrong with everyone? This card is terrible. A force spike for 2? A mana leak for 3? You have to spend a ton of mana to counter cascade? No thanks. THis card is bad. Blue needed help, not a lame attempt.


    Do you even see what today's standard is?

    How is paying 1UU to counter a turn 4 BBE + Blightning be a ton of mana?

    Its an early-not situational-counter to stop the early threats, its great against cascade, its flexible, and as today's meta is aggro most decks would like to kill you asap and would tap out most of the times. It makes the aggro player work around this card and slow down the meta abit and it helps control ALOT.

    Quote from haoban3
    The ability to counter any sort of spell turn 2 instead of just creature or just noncreature makes this while not actually good, exactly what control needs.


    This.

    To be able to counter in the early game and not be situational like Negate or Essence Scatter is what makes this card good. Having multikick and being flexible makes it better.

    I hope its real.

    1G ~
    Sorcery - U
    Target creature gets +3/+3
    "multikick" 1G : target creature gets +3/+3

    I dont get it. so if I pay 3GGG, I can pump 3 diffrent creature creatures? this is diffrent then Replicate?


    I think something is missing from the Green card. Kicker is supposed to give you an alternate ability/spell like with the Blue card. The Blue card counters unless you pay 1 but with the Kicked cost you need to pay 2.

    THE CASCADE IS DEAD I REPEAT THE CASCADE IS DEAD...

    just kidding. good as it is, it won't kill jund.

    Spreading Seas grows to a menace with this though.


    Yeah.. Forgot that, if standard is still dominated by multicolored decks, this would power up Spread'Em..
