love the star allies switch 2 edition releasing on august 28th

I have to re-check though...
But if I can't see even one Loading Tip then the Switch 2 fucked up the game /pos

idk even after i play KRTDX i go
toxic delta
love the star allies switch 2 edition releasing on august 28th
so true, I can't wait for the build-a-Jamba Heart and make your own Void mode

why am i playing game with lamer gamefeel than KSA
like the best gamefeel u get out of KRtDL DX is like. the two new abilities and Magolor Epilogue
and then KSA i can be like unga bunga and do the hardest boss rush in the series and unga bunga there
wise flame
For being a remake, it does revert to relatively outdated systems in parts
I cannot tolerate beam whip doing ONE hit
Where's my brrrrt?!
toxic delta
I like RtDL DX, they did mostly good job putting the newer stuff in it
hybrid bolt
I don't get how RTDL DX has lamer game feel when certain abilities do more
beam whip rotation
twin fog
It reverts to annoying 2011 mechanics that got improved over the years
toxic delta
yeah, and some moves are their older variations
twin fog
Its like Star Allies has the system and RtDL has the actual game
And then its like
When do we get to see that combined again
toxic delta
yeah, and some moves are their older variations
I think it's mostly fine though, keeps the original feel obviously
hybrid bolt
I certainly do not notice any massive improvement over abilities lol
shut pendant
same except afterwards i will replay the whole game including star-crossed world for the full 60 fps experience
hybrid bolt
it's hard for me to care when SA' enemies and bosses all die pretty fast
I just don't care.
obtuse berry
me w/ FL bosses
toxic delta
I think it's mostly fine though, keeps the original feel obviously
and most of the stuff is minor anyway
twin fog
I was convinced I'd never want to replay FL until I replayed FL and it was peak and I ended up replaying FL twice within like a month
wise flame
FL is the only kirby game I've played where RESETTING is more fun than prolonging a file's life
obtuse berry
me w/ FL bosses
also me for AM but I call it peam instead bc im biased
high widget
i had fun in FL doing no upgrades or evos whatsoever and it made the regular final boss feel tanky in wild mode
toxic delta
FL is the only kirby game I've played where RESETTING is more fun than prolongin...
only if you powered-up abilities I feel
wise flame
SCW is made or broken by how it handles our before-install choices
toxic delta
only if you powered-up abilities I feel
though SqSq and Epilogue are same way with that
hybrid bolt
I've seen takes that says FL is worse to replay because of the limited moveset/abilities and I'm like
wise flame
Even If upgrades are OUR responsibility... if the game just allows us to enjoy basically starting with Uber Cheats with no option or temporary restriction... it has a problem!
hybrid bolt
eh, I usually marinate on these games years after and they hold up really well
toxic delta
it has less in that regard but it's fine as first 3D game
hybrid bolt
a game for me doesn't hold up well if the level design is a huge nothing burger, and I don't think FL is that.
twin fog
Something something Star Allies is the X and Y of Kirby
toxic delta
it has less in that regard but it's fine as first 3D game
very different feel to begin with
hybrid bolt
I think FL has the most robust novel gimmick out of the modern kirby games.
it's constantly featured in every level with a new interesting idea
toxic delta
they're also nice in that you don't really have to use them too often
wise flame
Even when a level is finished, ugh man why do the vibes STILL WORK?!
high widget
Something something Star Allies is the X and Y of Kirby
THAT REMINDS ME
I did this run where in XY
i only took Physical Attackers
no special attackers
and the game became challenging ish
no exp sahre ofc
wise flame
I will NOT enjoy UCZEX with base level abilities
high widget
steps forward.
hybrid bolt
then don't
twin fog
I just go no exp share no megas and I don't perceive a difference in difficulty with most pokemon games
They're all just click buttons and win imo
wise flame
then don't
QUITTER TALK!
toxic delta
I will NOT enjoy UCZEX with base level abilities
what if you just use Morpho Sword
high widget
ya thats why i chose physical attackers only because i cant just click physical attack of one type to win
shut pendant
something channel kirby mentioned in his recent video that i never realized, is that mouthful mode works so well as a gimmick because it's not just a single gimmick
super abilities are also strong individual attacks, hypernova is only inhaling, robobot armor is all more powerful copy abilities
but mouthful mode is just a general term for a bunch of different gimmicks, including driving around, opening rooms, flying through the air, etc.
basically, there isn't a limit to what can be a mouthful mode, unlike these other gimmicks
high widget
thats why i want mouthful mode to be like
wise flame
what if you just use Morpho Sword
Oh no thanks, that will be for speedruns
high widget
a permanent thing
like
I want this to be part of Kirby's anatomy moving forward
doesnt have to be in every game he just can do it
shut pendant
i don't think it will appear again any time soon after scw
hybrid bolt
that'll be funnt
high widget
and i mean there's so much merch of mouthful kirby at this point
also its not tied to a magical force or mechanic
hybrid bolt
"Kirby stop getting fucked up and eating my car."
toxic delta
I think he'll technically have it but just not use it lol
shut pendant
oh right, more kirby merch, yeah they're definitely bringing it back
hybrid bolt
I want to punt Kirby
wise flame
We all do
toxic delta
I think he'll technically have it but just not use it lol
or just like how they usually treat abilities between games
wise flame
Spear is the only ability they add
shut pendant
I think he'll technically have it but just not use it lol
kirby actually has permanent access to every gimmick but just forgot about them
same goes for copy abilities
i mean why do you think light hasn't returned? because it's so underwhelming and underutilized kirby just forgot it existed
wise flame
Bandee is still a beggar
hybrid bolt
geniunely do think they're still cooking a new kirby game that's not dlc lol
toxic delta
kirby actually has permanent access to every gimmick but just forgot about them
...
actually it's because Cool Spook is on vacation
shut pendant
kirby also forgot about cleaning for 21 years

Light could have been so much more

Wild Mode ex
shut pendant
we have light bulb mouth and C A N D L E now

geniunely do think they're still cooking a new kirby game that's not dlc lol
i mean, yeah, kirby air riders
wise flame
There's gotta be a dedicated EX difficulty
toxic delta
geniunely do think they're still cooking a new kirby game that's not dlc lol
I mean, pretty obvious they are lol
they wouldn't spend 3 years on just DLC
remote herald
Or would they...
toxic delta
they wouldn't
it isn't like they spent 2-3 years on just RtDL DX either
(I mean, FL and Dream Buffet literally came out within that time lmao)
toxic delta
basically yes (though it's also technically not DLC, is weird spot)
lean grove
it kinda is DLC if you ignore the physical release
toxic delta
kinda is, kinda not
lean grove
like it's a textbook example of an expansion pack
the physical release can be considered a bundled version of the base game and the dlc
toxic delta
can also buy the full Switch 2 Edition digital
physical is also more precisely Switch 1 version and Switch 2 Edition bundle (due to how they work)
lean grove
can also buy the full Switch 2 Edition digital
digital games in of itself is technically DLC but with a different definition of content
like it's just
DL
toxic delta
yeah, though obviously by that definition Kirby's had it since....SFC era arguably
though moreso at least since Wii VC
toxic delta
unless it's in ZEX
(which partially depends on how they handle later parts in general)
robust oak
Feels like they want to move past him
Literally showed up in return to dreamland remake
toxic delta
Feels like they want to move past him
nah they definitely plan on bringing him back eventually, but not here
robust oak
Ultrby my goat
robust oak
Okay we can’t play that game. That’s like saying that Magolor hasn’t appeared since Star Allies because he was also in the OG Rtdl
toxic delta
nah they definitely plan on bringing him back eventually, but not here
but yeah like basically SCW's story already contradicts his kind of stuff
toxic delta
Okay we can’t play that game. That’s like saying that Magolor hasn’t appeared si...
what
GK fight is literally nearly the exact same, including the scenario
robust oak
Like, even if he was in the OG game, they could very well have just omitted him from the remake.
toxic delta
it's not like Magolor with Magoland and Epilogue
toxic delta
Like, even if he was in the OG game, they could very well have just omitted him ...
no???
they do not like doing that
there's only been a few replacements ever and those were for reasons
robust oak
My point is that they aren’t trying to “move past” him.
If they wanted to, they would just not put him in.
robust oak
The premise just smells of Galacta knight for me idk. Theres a vague whiff.
toxic delta
not really
it basically contradicts it for SCW itself
meteor literally cannot be him
something will be born from the dark star, and GK has never been a dark, evil being anyway (and like obviously it'd be weird for his gem seal to be in there either way)
again if he's in, it'd be in ZEX
robust oak
something will be *born* from the dark star, and GK has never been a dark, evil ...
I’d argue he was in SKC
toxic delta
no????
that's not innate
that's a transformation and he wasn't evil
there was no dark aura shit
and he wouldn't be 'born' anyhow
robust oak
We’ll see i suppose
toxic delta
I mean yeah the current speculation is Forgo species member
random tendon
Feels like they want to move past him
the only thing they did was the fakeout in star allies, but for me that was more like a troll move as in "oh you thought this would be another galacta knight battle? trolled!"
toxic delta
I mean yeah the current speculation is Forgo species member
it's also not even the first time we have a new birth boss
Void moments
anyway these 'second extra modes' tend to connect to their main games pretty directly, keep that in mind
toxic delta

even down to the boss themes
random tendon
I think every mainline kirby final boss has been related to darkness in some way
funnily enough the one I can relate to darkness the least is like sectonia or marx
toxic delta
even down to the boss themes
HiAD had Corrupt Hyness and Mages, Epilogue had Crowned Doomer and Master Crown
random tendon
and even then sectonia is related to the moon, night, darkness
robust oak
New bosses are usually saved for the main plot, no?
You wouldn’t play a secondary mode and end the battle expecting Pierre McJohnson brand new character you gotta give me NME guy NEO.

it also transformed with Grand Gem Apple, which was partially new

that's a design on purpose
robust oak
looks like zero two
Star Dream does NOT look like zero two
toxic delta
concept art was bit closer with it
vagrant hound
Void Termina 02 
random tendon
Star Dream does NOT look like zero two
like I said, concept art. but anyway lots of these design documents carried over, and you can see the zero two similarities in the final design as well
toxic delta
Star Dream?
anyway there is the Dark Matter Clone and Sectonia Clone thing I guess
random tendon
robust oak
like I said, concept art. but anyway lots of these design documents carried over...
I see the resemblance now but I think using concept art is a bit silly, considering a lot of scrapped designs get repurposed into entirely new characters
random tendon
either way I was just joking that we can relate all kirby final bosses to darkness it's not that deep
robust oak
You wouldn’t say Magolor is related to Haltmann because Magolor looked like an elderly wizard in old concept art
random tendon
well I just explained how the final design still uses these cues
but like I said, we're getting off topic
I was just making a joke 
didn't expect a errrrmm actually
hybrid bolt
It's not going to be galacta knight
vagrant hound
I still think Magolor will show up in SCW, trust me
robust oak
It would be very funny if they canonized Morpho Knight a second time in case all the Galacta fans didn’t see it the first go because of the tears
toxic delta
anyway there is the Dark Matter Clone and Sectonia Clone thing I guess
Star Dreamer also gives that vibe but maybe that's just me, doesn't seem to actually be darkness lol
toxic delta
It would be very funny if they canonized Morpho Knight a second time in case all...
they were both always 'canon'
(even not counting distinct parallels, SA Dream Friend Guest Stars are implied to have happened to some extent, and MKU is definitely implied to have happened and connects with other things)
robust oak
Okay how on earth would MKU happen
toxic delta
it literally has a story?
green crater
MK going "I want to train"
robust oak
it literally has a story?
The story in MKU is that Kirby defeated all the- OH WAIT WRONG META KNIGHTMARE
my bad its like 3 AM here.
I still don’t think it can happen due to a little thing called Nova.
also MK just sort of destroys his own base for no reason.

former likely are, we have no idea for GK though
never seen under his mask
good chance though
hybrid hornet
I have a HC that the species only grows wings when they gain the will to fight 10,000 suns in a single instant

did Kirby lose his when he gained the will to fight a million
hybrid hornet
Galacta Knight is also pretty much made as a direct parallel to him, like meant to "mirror" him in a way
hybrid hornet
did Kirby lose his when he gained the will to fight a million
tbh yeah i never really thought too hard about Kirby specifically getting wings, I just wanted a HC that gives some orbs wings without doing it to others so I didn't have to make up wings for adaptation orbs that don't have any
without making the wings Not Real or a cape
robust oak
I see them kind of like the spear and sword? They’re gear! Means to an end. Weapons.
Kirby doesn’t have them because Kirby has no need for them.
hybrid hornet

it's based off the wing reveal in Super Star which goes so hard
robust oak
Kirby doesn’t have them because Kirby has no need for them.
also because uh
frankly, when Kirby DOES come at you with something he’d consider a weapon its a lot stronger than what MK and GK get
remote herald
I feel like a lot of people are gossing over the fact we're getting a new difficulty in the arena wich likely means a new secret boss fight

hopefully not to steal away the Forgo Soul 2.0 boss fight again
remote herald
I hope they do something besides huge ball
robust oak

I feel like trying to double dip on Morpho outside of the new arena would just sort of lessen his impact?
Especially since his appearance requires killing an upcoming boss
hybrid hornet
true
it worked for Galacta Knight because he was reoccurring but if we got more unique designs we never got to fight because of Morpho, it'd be a little eh
remote herald
Honestly i sort of want a remake of the galacta knight fight from super star ultra
That would be awesome
robust oak
My biggest continuity based kirby headcanon is that the moment Kirby meets Link in the Super Smash Bros. Series he thinks he is so cool he gives the sword copy ability his cap.
That’s all I got in my hopes of canonization of alternate stories.
remote herald
It would be really funny if smash was cannon to kirby becuase that would mean kirby has canonically met sans undertale

Did y’all remember when the final boss of P.R. Is an AI that has completely absorbed the soul of an opportunistic capitalist that started making it to pursue an idea but got so slothful he forgot what he was doing it for and just started to use it to turn a profit?

Also smash has its own cannon
Like im pretty sure all the fighters are toys or something
hybrid hornet
Smash Kid makes up lore for all of them
remote herald
Yeah in the next smash game you cant actually take damage at all becuase the kid playing with they toys keeps dodgeing all the attacks
robust oak
I don’t mind it
remote herald
It feels like an "it was all just a dream" explanation

I hope it's not too hard, ultimate cup Z is already pretty hard

I imagine they balance this stuff around the first few attempts, not the "I've replayed the game a bunch and know all the mechanics perfectly" attempts

Though given it's listed as being UCZ ex, I do expect it to be at least a little harder than UCZ? Otherwise why else call it that.

part of me wants that but like the kirby mythos is already so huge i would be fine with waiting until the next mainline game for something new
if they do something new though i want them to commit
green crater
I enjoy references to past games. I just guess I prefer them as stuff other than like final bosses
remote herald
as long as it isnt another orb ill be happy
green crater
I also accept that it's easier to speculate about stuff like "what if the final boss is GK" or "wouldn't it be cool if Nova", than it is to come up with something completely original. But I kinda feel like, if it's something we could come up with, it's not very interesting

Let's be honest upgraded abilities have never really mattered for like 90% of gameplay anyway
Its almost exclusively the boss fights where they actually matter

If you look at the image they were replying to (And I certainly don't fault you if you immediately looked away without reading it after seeing it) by 'upgraded abilities' zerbie meant ability power up and not evolutions

probably not
I could see latter making references/ties in some form eventually though
moreso assuming it gets post-launch support (which it probably will)

Well, it's basically about to be 1 week before release
They have already showcased the mouthful modes they want to show us
They have already given us a fairly sized 2nd overview trailer
And they have already given us what they want to show us in terms of the motive for the adventure
What remains to be seen is if there will be a dedicated spotlight video for UCZex
(and of course, a last minute "release trailer" where it shows us clips of cutscenes during a final boss moment)
turbid nexus
Craziest part is that it’s only Tuesday lol
wise flame
Dont wanna speculate a pattern RN but it looks like every 2-3 days a spotlight video is made
random tendon
I'm glad air riders direct was this week not the next week
tacit saffron
another Kirby Year
both games being on the Switch 2 in release/first year
Switch 2 is going to be quite the road for this series to follow on + Switch 1 games backwards compatible

we must remind ourselves this is not normal

switch 2 editions that are the full game and not just upgrade pack come with everything on cart
the only barrier to it leaking is someone actually caring enough to get it early and upload pics or videos
lofty gyro
Nice, so early leaks will really just come if someone gives a shit
twin fog
Begging to god but man
we ain't gonna see shit 😭
Which actually on second thought right no based
Do not want to watch early leaker take 10 minutes to beat gorimondo

yeah i don't think it's likely if even rtdx was leaked like
the day before lol
to leak this would require someone to buy base FL too

physical Switch 2 versions have both on cart
and yeah it can, real question is how much people who get it early would post

Yea like
who's gonna buy FL again just to leak the game early
Who's gonna buy the game to leak but doesn't already own FL

either way though the usual people will post longplays right when full game releases

if someone didn't have it yet (or sold their physical to get Switch 2 physical) and was planning to get it

Despite leaking only one day before, it was still a memorable day because the Magolor Epilogue credits had everyone like:

and for me it's the new Deltarune chapters and Millie Parfait

I could see latter making references/ties in some form eventually though
yeah i can see little forgotten land/star crossed world references in air riders
but prob not as well again it'll be a mystery
olive coral
huh, guys...
timber hollow
I'm just here thinking if the final boss turns out to be ||Elfilis|| again, it would become like William Afton from FNAF, but either it would give memes similar to the "Peepaw" memes that spawned back in '22, or it will actually be treated as a real threat (Yes I am very rotted with FNAF)
wide peak
is it weird that the most thing i'm excited for in star crossed world is ultimate cup z ex
i'm hoping it'll be hard since ultimate cup z it's not really that hard just get a maxed out toy hammer and speed boost and damage boost and go wild
toxic delta
I mean
those are meant to be easy options
you can always just use normal things if you want
(and boosts are marked on time so game agknowledges it too, same way as amiibo, as well as Souvenir Items in RtDL DX)
really it's like using Tornado, Sand, etc. on RtDL DX one and Souvenir Items and using cheesy strats and going 'why isn't this harder'
one of Kirby's main things in general is being able to make it as easy or hard for yourself as you want
arctic gale
Base ability ucz is pretty brutal
wide peak
i tried doing a abilityless boostless run one day and it was horrible
idk how can anyone do it
arctic gale
Takes practice for sure
Im really looking forward to whats in store for this new arena though!
wide peak

struggling? use ability/character with invincible guard or similar like Stone, Ice, Archer, Leaf, Magolor, etc. or something Master-like like Mage Sisters, Masked Hammer, or Morpho Sword; use power-ups or amiibos or souvenir items or whatever
want to make it harder? limit stuff like your guarding or dashing or hovering, use abilities you aren't comfortable with or do it ability-less, take minimum healing items, etc.
toxic delta
watch them nerf toy hammer in star crossed world
probably not
only nerf would be removing superjumps, but that'd be a general thing
would also be weird because of save compatibility
wide peak

masked hammer is an okay ability toy hammer still beats it even without any boosts
but toy hammer with boosts does the most damage out of any ability in the game
toxic delta
I mean Masked Hammer is pretty close anyway and the actual Master-equivalent, also better for stages

(im talking like maxed out toy hammer not the basic version)

was just giving out examples anyway
toxic delta
but toy hammer with boosts does the most damage out of any ability in the game
pretty sure that's actually Twin Drill
but it's harder to use
or at least, it's theoretically faster
wide peak
it might be but you need keep doing circles to get most out of it where with toy hammer you just have to hold a button for few seconds
toxic delta
yeah as I said, harder to use
wide peak
I mean Masked Hammer is pretty close anyway and the actual Master-equivalent, al...
it might be better for the stages but for ucz (with boosts) it's not that good
toxic delta
I mean again, it is still pretty good ability overall (really if you're speaking time though it's still up there anyway so I have legit no idea what you're talking about lmao)
and again, it is just an example
and again, it is a Master-like
I'm just saying you can make it as easy or hard for yourself as you want
wide peak
yeah
you can use whatever you don't have to use meta abilities good or bad doesn't matter it's your save you choose what you want
some make it easy some hard

Five digits yes

yes it's a lot of 9's

If you're talking about the figures in SCW those don't use base game coins

There aren't grind rails in SCW, that's Air Riders silly

1 week and no info

I just hope there's a "downgrade" setting tbh

since like you don't use star coins for the main currency of star crossed world
hybrid bolt
perhaps
lean grove
there aren't any new upgrades so far
even if there were I'd think you'd use starry coins instead anything you'd use star coins for

why'd I only just now realize they're star coins and starry coins that's so silly

Hopefully there's a way to transfer star coins into starry coins

please hal don't patch hammer/dragon fire super jump glitch
People who had played the SCW demo have confirmed that hammer super jump was patched, unless they somehow all failed at doing it
vagrant hound
with amount of people testing it, including the speedrunners, yeah its most likely patched
wise flame
you guys better start rate stone grinding
dry mauve
Speaking of, there’s a chance that the switch 2 compatibility update could arrive as early as later today, and that might patch out the hammer jumps as well, so remember to have auto updates off if you still need to grind rare stones!

there's def more than 2 people, since I saw a lot of people that attended the demo for scw mentioned they failed
while the fps change might be possible, its probably patched LOL
regardless, Im so excited, even tho Im carried away by magolor in air riders so I barely talk in here now
toxic delta
ah, I had only seen two mention it at all
vagrant hound
it was mostly fellow japanese folks,
dry mauve
I don't think compatability patches go as far as fix bugs...
Right now we’re going based off the previous switch 2 editions games that received compatibility updates (Zelda’s and Mario Party) and those received bug fixes as well, but it is still possible that Kirby won’t patch out any glitches
toxic delta
yeah
vagrant hound
I love how air riders completely demolished scw news 😭

I love how air riders completely demolished scw news 😭
Honestly thank god cause I need something else to focus on until it releases next week lol

It's quite literally a compatability patch for SCW

they could still change stuff in Switch 2 Edition itself (I mean we already know they did lol)
funny Point of Arrival

However, still uncertain what the "issues" in the patchnotes refer to if not the hammer jump

could just be easily encounterable softlocks

Maybe they fixed the whole deloading invisible wall thing in Battle of Blizzard Bridge

Lemme check something super important for those FREAKS OUT THERE...

either way Hammer Jump was main thing I was worried about so good to see that's still in

anyone want to check Chaos Elfilis duplication? or discarding ability to pass through loading zones?
or the Time Crash discard and not break after use thing

the compatibility update yeah

did they patch ability refresh
wise flame
I'll do it on round 2

since you can do meta knight cup under 5 seconds with ability refresh

i'll update later and test out a bunch of glitches cuz so far the only confirmed one to not be patched is hammer super jump
wise flame
Ok so like,
dry mauve
Oh thank god hammer jumps are still in
wise flame
Gimme a moment but let me know if I did something wrong here
sudden mirage
hammer jump lives… game is still good
dry mauve
That’s actually super based of HAL. They could have easily patched them like in the switch 2 version but they chose not to. They know ball.
wide peak
i do wonder if the game will get updated in couple of days to include compatiblity for star crossed world on switch 2 only
toxic delta
it already did

Ok so I went down the stairs then came up...

it already did
this is the patch we're talking about lol

It’s not the actual switch 2 edition

OK IDK if this is even fair to bring up, but to those with 60fps mods... does that affect the Hammer Jump?
(Of course it must be noted that SCW could bring in another round of "fixes" and changes to the base-game...)

it makes them harder from what I heard

Honestly I feel like the entirety of stuff in the DLC will be full on original

With the current info and the new miniboss being crystal-star themed, it just lines up
Like I will be very surprised if Galacta Knight shows up or if there's some connection with Star Allies
gleaming stream
I still think it’s galacta but a new character is always welcome, obviously

I was about to buy it right now but I'm curious if I should update the game first
shrewd oracle
So does having SCW pre-ordered do anything right this second?
if you're in any region besides the americas, preload has started (meaning you can download it early, there's no way to play it early tho)

I was going to wonder if the music note colors meant anything with composers and then the purple note showed up

sad no lyrics with Alivel Mall but still banging
tardy mortar
well
...what if there's more composers...
There has been new hires on the sound staff at HAL
lean grove
could be new Hal labs staff I guess but at the same time somehow I'm doubtful of ishikawa doing the remix of Alivel mall

one of them spoke in the blog
I do think the Alivel Mall color is too pink to be Ishikawa

The fact they're already fully playing music here...

ALIVEL MALL IS PEAK TOO

Gives me vibes of "We're running out of surface level information to show without slipping any more big surprises"
Gotta keep my expectations in check though

but it's probably not composer info on the note color

We'll never truly know what we're gonna get until release

and honestly I'd expect it to be either ando or shimooka that did the alivel mall remix
probably ando
rustic crow
But I can't remember what potentially spoilers things were tweeted before the game dropped
tardy mortar
oh man
Actually I'm thinking I should absolutely downgrade my abilities before I start the DLC stuff
if they're supposed to be playable even that early, then I may as well play pretend
obtuse berry
miniboss theme is pretty intense for a track that's going to last for 20 seconds lol
tardy mortar
the original miniboss theme was already intense lol
fading tartan
OH WAIT

EE
D

oh man I forgot the color coding from Dream Buffet
dry mauve
Bro I legit teared up at that alive mall, love hearing one of my favorite tracks remixed
wise flame
I do hope they further elaborate on the use of Starry Coins
lean grove
i also don't think ikegami is back to work on music
like besides the fact that he got promoted out of music staff
wise flame
Like that whole secondary currency is very much an elephant in the room ATM
lean grove
he's only done the melody composition recently
twin fog
no it isn't? its for buying EX figures
lean grove
and not full arrangements
turbid nexus

OH YEA HOW ARE WE FEELING ABOUT EVIL ALIVEL MALL
vagrant hound
inb4 its sakai
dry mauve
OH YEA HOW ARE WE FEELING ABOUT EVIL ALIVEL MALL
ITS PEAK
lean grove
i still dunno about sakai working on this
tardy mortar
I'd rather wait for the sound test to be certain
lean grove
like this a song heavily based on a specific motif
wise flame
no it isn't? its for buying EX figures
You do not just introduce another type of money only for it to be used for gacha figures...
tardy mortar
because it implies Sakai did Alivel Mall
lean grove
He worked on a mainline once and it sucked
technically twice?
he was the lead sound on NiDL
idk what that means though
every song we get credits for there is just ishikawa
twin fog
Oh yea funny remake with like no new music
wide peak
what is happening first sakurai drops 7 songs from air riders to nintendo music and now hal casually drops several songs from star crossed world on twitter
lean grove
i do think the thing i'm wondering about is why they decided to change the note symbol for the third one
like what does that mean
tribal igloo
IM LOSING IT
lean grove
does it mean two composers worked on it or..??
twin fog
i don't think the thing you're wondering about is that tbh
lean grove
i don't think the thing you're wondering about is that tbh
i mean the other thing
other thing i'm wondering about

These songs are so otherworldly and ethereal they hit different, also that mini boss theme slaps HARD
twin fog
i mean the other thing
nah I was just messing around
lean grove
mmm
tardy mortar
I'd rather wait for the sound test to be sure
I'm however extremely mad about one thing
I cannot seem to rip music anymore...
arctic gale
I need that alivel mall remix injected into my bloodstream ooof that's nice
twin fog
I cannot seem to rip music anymore...
I'm pissing and crying everyday that we won't be able to dump SCW much less datamine or mod it
tardy mortar
aside from not accessing files, I wanted to try recording from the Switch 2 and I just can't
my PC refuses the Line-In
and that kind of angers me
I had that kind of patience before and now I can't
gaunt steppe
Why is this active
gaunt steppe
vagrant hound
the second is pink colored, which is likely ishikawa
arctic gale
Maan
gaunt steppe
Nice
arctic gale
the second is pink colored, which is likely ishikawa
Ishikawa still cooking...
vagrant hound
ando, ishikawa, and the menacing purple which usually goes to sakai but
it could also be a whole new composer
long locust
Gotta wait for the Switch 2 actual DLC update to see if it's patched there
lean grove
double notes must mean something i need to put on my tinfoil hat
twin fog
For reference in 2022 they tweeted out Running Through the New World with a yellow eigth note
https://vxtwitter.com/Kirby_JP/status/1505741798345682947
long locust
Seems the Switch 1 version is unpatched though
reef patrol
All three of these go so hard and they’re for the first two levels and a mini boss, I can’t even imagine how good the later themes or the final boss theme will be
lean grove
like i'm legit wondering if the double note whatever its called, means more than one composer/arranger
long locust
I presume there are game kernel updates that is Switch 2 exclusive
tardy mortar
yes
long locust
I do wonder if there are new composers this time around because of Jun leaving HAL
vagrant hound
either a random sakai jumpscare, or new composer
regardless ando and ishikawa 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
tardy mortar
I do wonder if there are new composers this time around because of Jun leaving H...
not necessarily how it works tbh
lean grove
does the symbol change just mean they want to emphasize the actiony change or???
