I thought of mine one day while riding in my friend's truck a couple years ago. It was October, and he had some festive Halloween window clings on several surfaces of the truck. The kind that are made of the jelly material. One was shaped like a ghost, and I said, "You know what would make an awesome forum username?" And thus Gelatinous Ghost was born. It wasn't long after that that I found this site and gave the username life.
Hello. It's nice to meet you. =]
Heights, airplaines, and roller coasters. I don't know why. Just am. I fell out of a tree and hit many branches on the way down as a kid. That may have something to do with it.
Pretty much the same story for me. I always called him Tai-dus. And despite knowing that his name is officially pronounced Tee-dus, after saying Tai-dus for so long, it just sounds off. The same thing goes for Zidane from FF IX. I always thought the "e" on the end was spoken, so as his name would sound like "Zi-don-eh." But it was spoken as simply "Zi-don" in Dissidia. Despite knowing this, I continue to call him "Zi-don-eh" to this day. I think this truly comes from playing games like Final Fantasy titles in a day an age where screen text was the only form of communication, as most voice acting had not been implemented yet. Each person imagines how character's names are pronounced differently. Then, they reuse characters in titles much farther in the future with voice acting, and give their names pronunciations that just sound totally messed up and ruin your mind's eye picture of the game. Interesting question.
I realize I am in the minority when I say I like it. And that's okay. =]
I am so looking forward to this. I can finally listen to BBS's OST and have the songs last longer then 56 seconds!!!!11!!!1!
Well, as of last night, I have defeated the Mysterious figure with all 3 characters. Each of them was level 50. Thanks for all the help, guys. It was all put to practical use. Just a few items to get to put the item collection at 100%, and that will be all. Thanks again. =]
Interesting. His upcoming game looks pretty good. =]
I was really hoping they would release BBS shirts and merchandise at HT, but I am beginning to grow doubtful as we move away from BBS and on to Re:Coded. And as for the avatars, I liked FF XIII. It was cool, but I am still waiting for them to release the avatar charms for BBS for the North American site of Ven, Aqua, and Terra like they did on the Japanese site months ago. Those are the ones I want.
Update! I have beaten the Mysterious Figure with Terra! I am so excited! 8D Thanks for all who contributed advice. I used it all. But I am far from done. I am trying to beat him using Ven now, and I find the battle easier in some ways than with Terra, but harder in a couple, despite not winning yet. I find the temporary invulnerability from dodge roll to be useful, but it also doesn't carry me as far from the MF as Terra's sliding dash and the MF follows up with attacks a bit faster. Also, unless it was one of the MF's lengthy sword combos, it would usually take 2-3 hits to bring Terra to 1 HP. It only takes Ven1-2, meaning I spend even more time healing and less time fighting, if that is possible. Are there any differences in strategy that can be adopted with Ven that will aid me in this fight? Thanks again guys!
Yeah, I have noticed him heal up to a whole bar from a shotlock. Through a divine act of ******baggery, he can also use renewal block while he attacks. >: I suppose I will try to fight without it. And I am glad to know that Ven and Aqua will be easier to complete. I was pleasantly surprised at how the battle with VS went from sucking the fun out of the game(Terra) to reasonably challenging(Ven and Aqua). It gives me some comfort to know that while the battle will never be easy, it won't be as brutal with the following two. I guess I just want to get the hardest out of the way first.
Using shotlocks seems to serve several purposes, however. It damages him fairly effectively, gives you a sometimes crucial few seconds of invulnerability, and is very useful in getting rid of his clones before they get a chance to gang up on you. The only real downside is that he moves so fast that I rarely get a chance to fully charge Ultima cannon. Is there really any way using it can hurt me? And I haven't seen anywhere but here that having less abilities equipped decreases his aggression. How did you learn this? And due to the fact that dodge roll(Ven) and cartwheel(Aqua) grant invulnerability while using them(Unlike Terra's sliding dodge), will that simplify the fight with them? Thanks again.
I am trying to defeat the Mysterious figure as Terra. I am using a combination of Ultima Cannon, Thunder Surge, and Curaga whenever I have a chance. I have been fighting him all day, and have even depleted his HP all the way down to half of the final bar before he knocks me out. Is there any better strategy? Because it seems to me to be almost entirely luck based. There are several combinations of his attacks that will kill you outright, no matter what your HP, such as his collision magnet attack in succession, that dumb doom counter when they only give you 3 seconds to mash the button a million times, or any time he is attacking with duplicates, summoning lasers, and using megaflare all at once so my game lags. It would be nice to win and feel I did it out of skill as opposed to chance, but at this point I will take a lucky victory. Any tips? Also, I found that beating Vanitas's Lingering Spirit was hardest with Terra. But after I won, it seemed easy with Ven/Aqua by comparison. Is it going to be any easier with them against the Mysterious Figure than it is with Terra? Thanks. Edit: See my newest post for updates on what I need help with.
Indeed. I plan to participate. Let the facial monstrosities grow.
After a trip to the hobby shop today, I have decided to collect the cards within the English sets of KH cards. Problem is though, I cannot find a list or document detailing all of the cards ever released in the US anywhere on the web. I believe there were 4 sets, each with a different number of cards within them. I am kinda stuck. Does anyone know where I can look?
Good, good. That gives me adequate time to do all there is to do in BBS. Good work as usual, Mike. Keep us posted. =]
Oh, the lanyard with the Kingdom Key pattern on it? I have that on me right now. xD It holds my IDs, keys, flash drive, and some odd baubles. I also have the shoelaces laced into my converse. I am kind of a nutcase. =]
What's up? =]
Problem with that is the hoodie is an online exclusive not sold in stores. I ordered one for the girlfriend, and also noticed when I visited the store the other day that there were numerous items in the store that aren't online. There was a necklace with dog-tag like appendages that had a keyhole and a heartless logo on them, and even KH silly bands. Good stuff. =]
Looks good! Though I hope it doesn't come out for a few months yet, as I am still quite occupied with Birth By Sleep.
