I just draw

uh

Sonic

It's not handy but at least I can draw Sonic now

...Sonic and nothing else 

Well I don't draw digitally, so for me I usually drop by places like Pinterest to brew some ideas up. I also brainstorm ideas and filter out what seems plausible to attempt at my skill level (which isn't saying much)

Huh. You know I never did get the hang of drawing sonic (I always messed up with the last few spines), think I might try that.

Remember when tracker drew miku trash 

Pepperidge Farm remembers

I draw lots of different odd ball stuff. Cartoons, anime, realistic space marines.

As someone who is no good at doodling or sketching really, I only draw when I have something I absolutely desire to draw and my lack of confidence and impatience isn't getting the better me. As for what I do to practice, every time I decide to draw I create new techniques for myself to tryout to keep it interesting and from feeling repetitive and that is something you can do regardless of your skill level and drawing motivation. Find a technique you want to try out and play around with it until inspiration does strike.

Ahem TCB

I still draw Miku trash

...it just doesn’t go on my Twitter 

what's a practice

I don't really "practice"; I draw if I have an idea I think I'm capable of drawing, simple.

Probably not the best way of going about things, but it's gotten me this far.

gotta build up image folders of cool or inspiring things, as well as folders of images featuring things you know you'll need to work on and then tell yourself that you'll actualy go through those folders at some point

Some people like to doodle which is basically drawing without thinking too hard about anything. I've never been good at doing that though. I usually need an inspiration that motivate me to be creative, whether it be anime, manga, games, music...or whatever your into.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

@RosaRosaRosalina I don't know, I guess just something to help improve myself since I want to build myself up for a graphic design job at some point. Admittedly i'm probably overthinking this though and I really should just do SOMETHING at least.

Had Nintendo had done even a quarter of what their competitors do with their gamepass than the media wouldn't be as quick to look down on them.

Azoo is working on that? no way

If you're after dev updates you should follow the actual developer of it, Steve - afaik Azoo is in more of an advisory role than anything

Azoo is doing level design/textures

Oh right, awesome to hear

Yeah, was fun playing around with the first demo last year.

Looking forward to playing the latest version.

Steve is still doing the vast majority of the heavy lifting though and shows the game off a little every once in a while so you should still follow him

The submission deadline's tomorrow, but the actual event starts on the 25th. That's probably when they're gonna open up all the "booths" for downloads iirc

Ah okay, didn't know about steve, i'm really liking the look of that test stage too

The level of polish being put into it is worth it existing on it's own. Even if the gameplay never goes the extra mile itself, the small touches, personality, and slickness to it all makes it look like it just feels cool to play. Could honestly be sold as a AAA engine if they ironed it out around whatever levels they designed for it, imo

I'm a little eh that they're keeping Sonic's falling animation, though. I've never liked that animation from Unwiished, it just makes Sonic look like a klutz, lmao

I'm not too giddy about how you instantly uncurl from a spindash, unless that can be done intentionally and can still roll normally.

Well I guess that's how it goes when your engine focuses on recreating the boost gameplay, let alone a less automated one. 

You say that like Rayman was deconfirmed and has absolutely 0 chance of ever getting in.

Believe in the Rayman

He can do it

I'd be more surprised if he couldn't do it, really.

But... Ultimate's roster isn't finished yet, and there's still a chance of DLC. So this really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If this was talking about Waluigi that'd be a different story, but Rayman is still totally possible for Ultimate.

I'm mostly just trying to be funny. I know the roster isn't finished yet although I do still find it pretty cool and a little funny that all of these different characters are coming to every other smash game right now.

That said, i'm still not entirely sold on the possibility of rayman in ultimate.

If Rayman is in Ultimate, this might prompt Nintendo to take action on this game as to avoid there being two competing Raymans.

Although, this will likely already give away the suprise of Rayman in Ultimate, so it's more likely they won't take the bait.

They didn't seem to peeved about Flash 2 having Mega Man.

Although Mega Man was around in Flash 2 as early as 2009, when Brawl was still the talk of the town and Smash 4 wasn't even a thought, so maybe that's not the best example.

Rayman. Crash. Spyro. Klonoa. Scrooge.

Do it, Sakurai. I'll buy a Switch just for it.

The thing about giving everyone Bayonetta combos is that it doesn't solve the problem of Bayonetta combos being unfun to deal with. People like Smash because of how based it is in neutral, movement and generally having a lot of control over your character. All that is undercut by Bayonetta being able to carry you off the screen at 0%

I don't play Smash games or ever plan to... But I don't believe in balancing all characters to be on a equal playing field... That's kinda lame to me. That's why on games like Pokemon you have multiple tier lists in competitive playing where the higher power level characters can't be used in the lower tier competitive battles which is the better way to balance characters instead of making them all basically the same in power level...

But I will say that it does depend on how OVERPOWERED a character is compared to all others. Little bit of of power re-balancing is fine if no other characters can compete at all.

@Lord-Dreamerz I wasn't saying that everyone should be equal but moreso that everyone should be brought up a bit in terms of complexity to shift the balances. I wholeheartedly agree that an overall balanced game can be pretty dang boring but having interesting characters to mess around with can make even low tiers stand out when used in the right hands.

I was making a overall statement of my opinion on the subject of nerfing characters more then I was replying directly to your post. Excuse me for the confusion.
