Old, but really good

in Super Mario RPG If you go to the hotel in the Mushroom Kingdom and sleep there, in the morning Link will be asleep in one of the beds, and if you go and try talk to him you will hear the Zelda secret sound.

Turns out the Chrono Trigger boxart wasnt that wrong

Posted by SailorDaravon in 11-25-2008, 05:06 AM

Tera thought this deserved a post, from the Chrono Trigger DS thread:

A lot of people like to point out the inconsistency of Marle casting fire on the Chrono Trigger coverart. 99% of people have never realized that the Chrono Trigger coverart is actually the three of them doing the Arc Impulse triple tech (Crono leaps off Frog’s back, Marle’s magic turns Crono’s sword to fire, and he strikes). Completely explains the Crono’s sword being on fire, and why Frog is kneeling on the ground. 2nd tech seen here.

Learn something with Mega Man 7

I was reading about Mega Man 7 and it mentions that Mega Man tries to kill Dr. Wily and Wily reminds him of the First Law of Robotics. That blew my mind. I never knew Mega Man was an Asimovian robot and was bound to the Three Laws of Robotics.

Which three laws ?

Posted by B.K.

Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics.

First Law: A robot may not harm a human being or through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

Second Law: A robot must obey all orders given to it by a human being, unless such orders conflict with the First Law.

Third Law: A robot may protect its own existence, as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

Cacildo´s Note: Here´s a interesting description of this very scene that i took from wikipedia:  The video games Mega Man 7 and Mega Man X reference Asimov. In Megaman 7, Mega Man seemingly attempts to break the First Law in order to kill the mad scientist Dr. Wily. When Dr. Wily reminds him of the First Law, in the Japanese original, Mega Man obediently puts down his Buster and is silent; however, in the English version, he claims to be “more than a robot” and again attempts to kill Wily, but is thwarted by another robot, Bass. In Mega Man X, the First Law is mentioned in the opening cutscene. In Mega Man X6, one of the Maverick bosses, Shield Sheldon, was known to have taken his own life for failing in his purpose, which breaks the Third Law, though this is implied to be more out of shame than because of the laws.

Cody´s infinite

Posted by PepsimanVsJoe in 09-14-2008, 09:57 AM

In Final Fight Cody has an infinite.
Basically all you do is do the first two punches of his string, turn around(away from the enemy you’re infiniting) and whiff a punch, then do the first two punches again, repeat until boss dies.

Here’s the kicker though.
In Street Fighter Alpha 3 one of Cody’s super moves has him doing just that! 

Cody’s final fight infinite:

I can’t seem to find a decent vid of Cody’s SFA3 super but do his QCF QCF+P one and boom. His first few attacks will show him doing his FF infinite.

Cacildo´s note: I remember seeing the older kids doing this in the arcade… but most of em did this “infinite” trick with Guy!!

Chrono Trigger boxart got it all wrong

Posted by Orin GA in 09-14-2008, 05:06 AM

Marle/Nadia is using the wrong magic on the Box Art

Cacildo´s note: I had to look it up for some explanation (since its been at least 10 years since the last time i played the hell out of Chrono Trigger): Marle only have ice magic in the actual game, and this Us cover is from an early concept art done by Akira Toriyama before the game was actually finished

There´s something inside every hadouken

Posted by SUPREME1 in 07-23-2008, 11:41 PM

I’m sure I’m posting the obvious for 90% of you guys… BUUUUT, Ryu & Ken’s Hadouken attacks are actually their hands in energy form. Look at their hands and at the center of the energy ball.

Though it was there to see in the original SFII, it wasn’t too easy to spot unless you were looking for it. It became less obvious in later games and was even completely dropped in some later games. However, they made it as obvious as possible in the last pic:

I didn’t know about the Hadoken hands… I used to draw pics of Ryu doing fireballs like 15 years ago.. All my childhood drawings… inaccurate 😦
