~time to explain the joke~

The query sent in to the show there was a troll, but might as well have been legit - people do, sadly, write in to The 700 Club with that sort of thing all the time.

The reference is to Undertale, wherein the character Sans is a lazy but good-natured skeleton "monster" in a hoodie and also some sort of retired quantum scientist and/or Time Cop.  He keeps an eye on the player character and tries to lead them down a friendly and nonviolent path.  At the end of the game, he appears and lectures the player on their choices, but refuses to fight or harm them, even if they've been a violent jerkface.  Unless you've gone completely genocidal, murdered literally every other character in the game, ground randoms into dust until everything everywhere is dead, and are threatening to go on and murder the whole world.  Then he reluctantly opens the glowing eye and smacks you with a boss fight vastly more difficult than anything else in the game, as referred to by his dry catchphrase, "You're gonna have a bad time." 

The ensuing segment is ridiculous, hilarious and heartwrenching, because Undertale is a game that explicitly promotes nonviolence, tolerance of others, and rejection of greed and anger.  And Sans specifically is the character who most epitomizes and lives by those values.  He is almost exactly the sort of role model Pat Robertson would like kids to have, if he knew about  the game, or approved of games in general, or was down with tolerance of others.

Also, for some reason, Sans is perceived as incredibly attractive by the youngish female fanfiction-and-tumblr demographic.  Like a huge proportion of Undertale fanfiction so far is Sans x (usually nameless) self insert female romance, and/or "romance," if you get my drift.  So the final line "How do I help my daughter not be attracted to such demonic things?"... yeah, that was intentional.

Thanks for explaining it, because I thought it was a pretty tame link otherwise.

Your reactions to Pat Robertson are adorable. I had a family member work briefly at his university, and I can confirm the entire clan is crazy.

Stop right there.

I just wonder when the backlash on this starts.

The reviews are pretty consistent:  great story, great worldbuilding, good combat, lots of glitches, not much you haven't seen before in previous games.

Big budget games aren't going to get lower pro reviews if they still hit all the checkboxes.
Unless they get released yearly

Gourry, Two weeks after the next Elder Scrolls game is released and has mods that fix the UI and add poorly optimised models that look like plastic dolls with giant tits.

At least now we can actually hear about how no one ever liked Fallout 3.

I am having a surprisingly hard time organizing my feels on this.

R. Mika has a lot of fanservice bundled up into her, an ass-slap doesn't seem like an escalation to me. You might as well question her entire design if you're going to question that particular aspect. This is still not even close to dead or alive or soul calibur-style stuff. Capcom is... kind of... a bit less blatant about it than their competitors. (Hi, Taki; Mai; Kitana/Mileena...)

But a petition about it? Really, guys? I wish it was surprising! But the FGC has produced a vocal group of folks who will complain about, say, Karin looking like a middle-aged woman in this version, or Cammy's *face* not being cute enough. It's an actual priority to some people that a particular level of sexuality/cuteness is maintained within the genre, and it's really done a number on character designs.

I suppose it's not unique to this kind of game but christ, calling a developer dialling it back 'censorship' is pretty lunatic.

Localizer makes artistic changes to a game's presentation for a local market, news at 11. I imagine the people organising this petition also think that Phoenix Wright was "censored" when its Japanese cultural references were replaced by Western ones when the game was released overseas.

They can have their petition, that's their right, but it's pretty stupid if you ask me. And calling these localisation choices "censorship" just makes me facepalm.


(I don't particularly care one way or another about the change itself.)

Here's the Shoryuken article, over 600 comments already lol.

http://shoryuken.com/2015/11/08/capcom-alters-some-of-street-fighter-vs-more-risque-cinematics/

The actual reason for the changes hasn't been revealed yet.  Most likely it's to avoid getting an M rating.

I highly doubt that. "Fanservice" of this kind rarely earns an M rating (which is as it should be). It's probably just more about cultural sensitivities and the opinions of the localising team.

Is this even confirmed as Capcom of America stuff?

Edit: Oh right. Did I have an opinion on this?

Eh. Put R. Mika's butt-slap back in (she's intentionally pretty blatant which is fine, it's fitting for the persona), keep the Cammy camera angle change. Her costume is "unintentionally" silly anyway.

I don't need to say anything else.

Well, I mean, posting what the link was about so I could judge clickability would have helped.  ;-)

That said, Cloud being added to SSB is weird to me. I mean, it's not like many of these odd folks (Snake, Ryu) haven't been on Nintendo consoles in some form, but seriously, SSB is increasingly collecting things that really cement the idea that you own a Nintendo console AND another console.

I'd say SSB has been trying to branch out from "Nintendo all-stars" to "video games all-stars". If you look at the list of third-party Smash characters it's pretty much a who's-who of the biggest names. I'm pretty okay with this.

Also man between Snake and Cloud SSB can now claim more Playstation star power than Playstation All-Stars itself ever could.

Oh yeah, def. Don't get me wrong. No complaints or anything. I consider it cool (<snark>much as I'd prefer neat crossovers be in actual fighting games, lel</snark>).

It's just really weird from a distant perspective.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! All my crossover love! And thanks to RK and Dissidia, my FF crossover hype was already high! What excellent timing!

I'm so hype for this, you don't even know. The only thing that could top this would be like... Disgaea in Smash.

More than anything else, I'm excited to see Squeenix and Nintendo clearly getting along a lot better.

Also, hot damn those Summons on the FF7 stage! So shiny!

Dear Mr. Sakurai,
So much love.

Hey DL, can we make a Smash bros RPGDL tourney happen? There's enough ranked Smash Bros characters at this point, I'll bet.
