seems we died again eh?
What did they mean by this?
>>542612159>giant metal object attached to her headyeah no wonder
>>542612159Fatty
>>542612159Sakurai probably want Tiff but was forced to put in Susie, so he's doing things like running her over in the direct and calling her fat.
>>542631809>sakurai browses /kdg/>sakurai is aware of tiffvssusieposting
>>542608848What do you mean this is the 200th thread
>>542643607The passage of time is unrelenting
>>542610082Fitting given the season I suppose.
Soos
don't you go dying on me now will ya?!
>another fucking pokemon leakstill begging for someone, anyone to leak whatever HAL kept of GCN in cold storage out to the world
>>542610082Good thing our 200th wasn't themed after this >>542612159
>>542608848>200th>themed after final boss of the game that started this iteration of the generalPoetic in a way, really,
>>542667161In the end, we all returned to the Forgotten Land.
>>542666193Hire me nintendo
>>542666193gamefreak really needs to up it's security they have been hacked like what, 3 to 5 times now?kinda serves them right for the shitty business practices they have been doing the last decade or so.
>>542666193>>542671519It's not really "another" leak, more like a Part 2 of last year's. Leaker withheld some info since it might interfere with Game Freak's plans, but promised to show it once Z-A was out. He returned shortly after someone dumped the game.So there's only two of them: the Gigaleak (2018 Nintendo breach) and the Teraleak (2024 Game Freak breach). The data can get spread out over the course of months or even years due to various factors, most notably Discord shittery
I hate nu-pokemon why cant gamefreak be like HAL?
>>542666193like another anon said it's more of a continuation of last year's leak due to the leaker being a faggot and not dumping anything around z-a or the future until it released or some dumb shit like that.>>542672832not everyone is as committed to their franchise as HAL is to kirby. even some of the worse romhacks like dark rising or snakewood probably have more care than most of gamefreak's post gen 5 games and i actually like snakewood in its weird nonsensical ride
>>542672832pokemon has been mishandled from the very beginning, gamefreak/TPC most definitely has a toxic culture within it's walls (mostly toxic positivity), there is alot of issues between them still thinking they are at the heights of poke-mania, the higher up's going on power trips, the pokemon card fiasco (which is still an issue) the lawsuits, milking nostalga, shithead/arrogant developers, glitches and bugs, etcit's the exact problem sega has/had, succuess made them blind to the truth of their issues, you dare not speak about the emperors new clothes.
>>542676231>it's the exact problem sega has/had, succuess made them blind to the truth of their issues, you dare not speak about the emperors new clothes.but anon, open worlds and shilling paramount in the racing game are crucial to the future of sonic! they're totally rebooting all those dead franchises you love! and tetris crossovers are crucial to the future of puyo puyo! i'd also bring up the literal toddler show on youtube but we talk about a game that is mainly for the younger demographic itself
But I still do genuinely love mainline Pokemon though...
>>542677820the only good thing Sega does is not go after fan projects>>542681445I stopped buying/caring about it around oras/sun and moon.
>>542687591>the only good thing Sega does is not go after fan projectsIf your name's Sonic sure, they did nuke that Streets of Rage remake and have fairly asinine regulations on stuff like Persona if memory serves.>stopped buying/caring about it around oras/sun and moon.I guess that's fair, to this day the Pokemon games just hit a spot for me that genuinely no other game manages to, it's the only RPG series I can fully immerse myself into in terms of the "roleplaying" aspect, I somewhat resent the technical hiccups because outside of that I've loved what the games have done, I think Violet straight up has the best story and gameplay in the series among other things, just wish they'd be alloted more QA time so more people could see the genuinely amazing parts of the newer games.
>>542688159My guess is why they don't go after Sonic is that japan absolutely despises blue needle mouse and would rather just not deal with it. (not that I blame them considering the...vocal fan base's reputation proceeds itself.) but since he makes too much money they can't kill him outright. (nick toon stuff being in sonic feels like a humiliation ritual kek)pokemon is a billion dollar franchise they could at least try to make it not look like a shovel ware "best value" game but they won't because the majority of that fan base are sycophants because member berries, you are allowed to like pokemon or anything else but you should still look at it from an objective lens as best you can, most of the fault lies with the suits pushing too many games out in such a short amount of time, it just isn't viable, really the entire gaming industry is imploding on itself due to bloated budgets and crunch, somethings got to give sooner or later with how things have been going. (rip xbox)I'd go as far as to say the gamecube ones look better, stylistically speaking and it did dexit without issue albeit stealthly so they really don't have an excuse (granted they did recycle the models/animations from stadium/2/gold/sliver)sakurai is right, game development is hard with how much of a shit show it really is it would not shock me if we got another crash in the next decade or two
>>542691893I think I politely disagree on the looks of the games, I think most of the issue comes from the inconsistency. There's locales I find genuinely stunning in all the Switch games (off the top of my head, I love the Slumbering Weald in SwSh, and adore all of Area Zero in SV). You can get some really nice sights in the games, just wish they'd give them more time so everything reaches that upper echelon. I'll disagree on GameCube, although, I was always slightly mixed on the art direction of those personally. I do really like that every Switch Pokemon has a distinct visual style, you can see a good amount of experimentation even within the same system, with Lets Go being more watercolors, SwSh looking more like CG anime, BDSP being more diorama-adjacent, Legends Arceus aiming for a traditional Japanese painting look, and SV being the more "realistically detailed" of them all. I think the games as they are ARE genuinely pretty great, just... wish the tech got more spitshine y'know? Although I guess that's always been the case with Pokemon, I mean compare the DS games with the FF3 and 4 remakes on the same system, same with GBA and Minish Cap. I think there's enough good in them to still make them more than worthwhile, but I can sadly see why some others don't see it that way.
>>542692854it's a tricky situation to be in for sure, I don't rabidly hate the series I think it needs a bit more time in the oven, maybe they should consider going back to sprites and go for a HD 2D thing or something else, I can't help feel there's a bit of "the COD mines" going on regardless of quality perceived or otherwise, maybe they need some new blood to help things along more.(minish cap had some fantastic sprite work, hardly anyone seems to talk about the capcom Zelda games very much.)

YOU ARE THE STAR OF THE SHOW NOW, SAY SOMETHING FUNNY.
Randomly felt like drawing a chubby witch susie for halloween
>>542710765Tiff is fat.
>>542711421This is very nice but also I feel like I need glasses looking at this.
>>542712071Sorry, tried going for a painted look
>>542711421the thicc'ed witch of the west.
>>542711421Very cute outfit! Susie as a witch is adorable, when it comes to Halloween costumes I think things like Susie being a witch, nurse or mad scientist are best. My only suggestion is that when you go for a more painterly look, try using stronger contrasts between values and define the separation of lines more.
>>542713308Thanks, do you think >>542651767 is a better look?
>>542713510Do you mean artistically or as a MetaSusiefag?
>>542713640Artistically, also I don’t really care about metasusie
>>542713842Well, from a purely artistic standpoint it's pretty good too. My suggestions would be practicing a bit more with line art, such as shaving the ends for a cleaner look and getting a bit more stable with your strokes so it's a little less wobbly.As for coloring, the color choices are great and it shows you have a good fundamental grasp on coloring textures like gold such as using a dark brown for the inner part that mimmics a reflection and using cream for rim lighting for your current skill level. However, for certain things like Susie's hair it lacks contrast in where shadows are casted. This is also a slight anatomical error, but with the way her bikini bra is drawn on it looks like her whole tit is attached to her armpit, you did good by adding a curve that suggests depth to her tits as a whole instead of only showing one tit but I think if you lengthen the line meant to be her back area and added and extra bump for her other shoulder (similar to the curve you made of her other breast), increased the length of her torso a little while pulling a line from her waist upward it'd look a lot better.
>...>He is late.>...Even moreso than usual.>I suppose I should not be surprised, given his behavior, I would be more impressed if he managed to approach this star without engaging in a few brawls along his path.>...>But it is still unusually slow by his standards.>I believe it has been 25 or so years by the standards of this star since those thieves imprisoned me.>...>What a waste.>Normally we have the decency to aid the other on struggling invasions in a timelier fashion, it would take a year at most.>So I have to wonder just what could be taking him so long to arrive.>...>I shudder at the idea he might have been sealed away, himself.>Surely not.>It would lead to an imbalance neither of us could allow, were us both to stop hunting for far too long.>He surely is merely distracted by his brutish means.>...>Certainly.>I feel as though I should worry about the fact I cannot hear his mind, try as I might...>Yet...>It must be a temporary interruption, nothing else.>...>It must.>...>Brother, I can only hope you did not meet the fate I did.>...>I hope you will tell me you did not.>Sooner... or later.Been meaning to write something with Elfilis addressing his brother since SCW came out but it's been a topic I've been conflicted on since beating the game, it's a bit hard trying to reconcile Elfilis having any level of care for anyone but himself after writing him as entirely self-centered for a solid 3 years, however, I do feel like the figure with the 2 of them together and the fact Meteon is stated to have gone Elfilis's way after Elfilis's failure to invade the Forgotten Land, there HAS to be some genuine familial care between the 2, despite how objectively "cosmically mighty" they are. I definitely want to avoid falling into the "villain loses dignity over caring about relatives" trope since I think it's a diservice to Elfilis, so it's a tightrope making sure the brothers' bond feels authentic but not out of character.
>>542714920>>542713842samefag, I realized my words may have come off as a little rude and pretentious and/or hard to understand without visual so I made one. Had to add some things.>>542720581Really like the cross hatching on Elfilis, it reminds me of those really good Japanese flipnotes.
>>542721463I'm not the only one that hears Heavy Lobster's theme as saying>HEA-VY>LOB-STERright?
In other news, working on the collab, still a bit torn on what level to base it on. I'm 100% going with the art gallery idea, but I'm not sure if I should make it World of Drawcia given Canvas Curse's whole theme, or if the Wild World mansion would be better seeing as it already has a bunch of portraits and... would be way more manageable to draw, World of Drawcia is aggressively Kumazaki and I'm frankly not quite sure I'd be able to properly replicate it.>>542721313>reminds me of those really good Japanese flipnotesHigh praise, I'll take it, thank you! I've been trying to experiment a bit since I feel like I just oughta force myself to draw more often than I've been recently, pretty happy with how the hatching on that one turned out.
>>542721313It is very late and I do not care how this makes me look, I absolutely NEED her to sit on me.
>>542721313>redrawing the drawfag's oc and attempting to outshine him
>>542721795i've heard that from a lot of people. no idea if it was intended by the composer though
>>542710765 dinner
>>542720581very good stuff, given they were both trapped by the starries at one point that'd be something also to explore too. (at least according to what elifin said anyway, seems he retained some level of telepathy after they got split.
>>542713842Based.
FAT SUSIE FAT SUSIE FAT SUSIEFAT SUSIE FAT SUSIE FAT SUSIEFAT FAT FAT FATEAT A SALAD, YOU FAT BITCH!
>>542721313NTA but as someone who's not artistically inclined these are my thoughts. Great Susie, though.
>>542721313Dude, I literally did not think you sounded pretentious at all. Thank you for the tips and the drawing to go along with them
No matter her weight, a real hero can carry any woman.
>>542726273Wonder what's for it
wake up
Apparently the Robobot armor's material weights 8.6 tons so the heavyweight label isn't totally unfounded
>>542783896>8.6 tonsAh, this reference again.
>>542786752it's funny how many times they have done it.
>>542783896 >>542786752 compared to kirby for sure... i've been looking at AFV total weights for mecha design purposes, for humans i think it'd be more of a light transport? picrel is about 7.24 tons for instance and can only survive fire from rifle ammo at most
>>542753523 Based
>>542789282Haltmann proxy wars...
>>542793947keeby
>>542723510and the shipfag had to insert shipfaggotry into it too
>>542786752HWC also has specifically 860k employees. It's pretty small for a company pretty much spanning a planet but it has to be done
>>542733515Fair point there, although, the thing with Elfilis being sealed by Starries too is still... Odd to me. I need to think on it more for sure.
FIVE WEEKS
>>542835190But that's five weeks away!>N2DDDwhat does it mean
>>542836487Nintendo (Switch) 2 DeDeDe, clearly
>>542835190Where direct
>>542848673soon(tm)
Starman can carry any weight, no matter how heavy. Gravity shall not be Susie's enemy for as long as Starman is around
>>542849501cute batamons
>>542854720speaking of strange clones, what the hell was the deal with the Kirby clones in dreamland 1?
>>542857953I have a feeling the boss doors in DL1 are actually magic paintings. The room you enter them in is remarkably similar to Paint Roller's arena in Adventure.
Need Susie accidentally sitting on Meta Knight’s face, breaking his mask instantly from the sheer force of her ass.

The sakurai manga is here.https://x.com/famitsu/status/1978657247216759287
>>542876302shut up tiff
>>542876302based tiff
>>542876479 the WHAT
>>542884313Manga based on Sakurai's life. I read one based on Yuji Horii and the creation of Dragon Quest once, it's an interesting way to do a documentary.
>>542896591Maybe manga was very influential to Sakurai.
>>542899486why'd they draw him with cunty shoes
cmon just announce the fucking second direct already
>>542885873kracko is the eternal hater.
could other mechs make it into air riders as machines?
>>542914451how would that work?
>>542914451I wish, but for some reason i don't see them adding anything from a previous game that was used for a racing section for some reason.
>>542905342they already did. what you want is an air date.
>>542921706What I want is an Air Ride(rs).
>>542916510 a chariot that can do this also uh maybe combat stuff >>542916817 yeah i guess HAL doesn't think about racing sections for kirby games that much they're more like shmup people
>>542612159She's American
>>542932276 hot
>>542931723Hal should rip the bandaid off and make a dedicated shmup.
>>542957178Why is Tiff wearing a maternity dress?
>>542961379Can't be that difficult to figure out
>>542916817Most material in Air Ride is original but I imagine stuff like this will be referenced in some way given that cameos are a thing
King Dedede is thinner than Susie
>>542946805 imagine... there's a set precedent for shmup lore to be pretty dark so whoever HAL keeps hiring to write ridiculous pause screen text can tire themselves out.
>>542974917he's more muscle then fat technically.
>>542978974 damn really?
>>542982015I mean the whole wrestling ring and robes give off a pro fighter vibe, it's kinda like how sumo wrestlers are strong despite looking fat, you wouldn't really be able to pick up a heavy hammer like it's nothing unless your packing muscles, like ehonda from street fighter.
>>542975556Yeah shump's tend to have very interesting stories attached, like ikruga for example is very beefy for a short arcade game has one that's pretty nutty.
>>542986420 also its predecessor, radiant silvergun...
Don't you fucking die on me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kgf4EklKTCc
need air riders...>>542975556I think the funniest outcome would be HAL making a shmup project for a "new world" that looks closer to Kumazaki's artwork, only for the ending to reveal it's tied to Kirby's background lore specifically
>>542990861Yeah that too, stuff like gradius as well if you wanted something more simplistic/not a bullet hell.
>>543029568haha, jesus christ what the fuck
>>543040402dragon quest lookin ass.
>>543040402Always funny seeing first time reactions to Kumazaki's art. I said it before but I think Canvas Curse is the game that most feels like his art style specifically>>543041467>lookinIt's literally Zoma though
>>543041719 he seems to be a fan of the guy honestly i would not mind a nightmare reappearance that looks like this
>>543044339Japan loves Dragon Quest.
>>543045982if only square wasn't retarded, if only...
>>543046882It's conditional retardation, sometimes I swear they do it on purpose. At least SaGa's holding up alright with Kawazu doing his thing
>>543047178as far as I am concerned the series died when yuji hori/toriyama did.
>>543047676Horii isn't dead.He's the last one standing.
>>543047676>died when yuji hori/toriyama did.Anon, Horii is still alive
>>543047676 time travelers in the thread rn
>all this chub susie loveShould I request that one fat Ripplefag some Susie, or is it too much even for here?
>>543048651Go for it. You've got my blessing.
>>543048651I merely request you at least have the courtesy to spoiler or catbox it if you do post it here.
>>543050268>>543050897Ok, he said yes and that it should be done later today.Do you guys want anything specific like normal susie or that one tanned golden bikini one that got popular out of nowhere?
>>543053282I want >>542869170
>>543053282Standard Susie is best Susie
>>543053282Susie in her typical business suit of a jacket and flared pencil skirt looks the cutest.
>>543053282I’d like that tanned golden bikini one
>>543003512 h-hayai...
>>543046882water balloon kirb
That Friday feeling...
>>543066057Yeah it's awful isn't it
>>542672832It all comes down to the direction and vision. Kumazaki is giga-based and has been hard-carrying Kirby and HAL on his back for more than a decade now. Say what you want about Masuda but he at least had a clear vision for Pokemon that he was accomplishing. Meanwhile Ohmori is a huge hack that was never qualified to direct and had no idea what he was doing, and he just produced a bunch of worthless slop as a result.
>>543067606HAL also isn't too prone to making retarded decisions unlike the other companies the reply chain talked about, they clearly still love the shit they do unlike SEGA's constant mistreating of all their franchises or whatever the fuck game freak's doing i haven't caught myself up with the leaks (i still have to look through most of the shit from the first part last year). i think game freak just doesn't have much of the drive to keep making them anymore, when you start as just a few guys making a silly gameboy game after making game magazines with loli art i feel even years later it's probably a big toll on them to just keep pumping cash out of the machine and get burnout. but i'm not exactly an expert on the inner workings of any game company.
>>543067606>Meanwhile Ohmori is a huge hack that was never qualified to direct and had no idea what he was doing, and he just produced a bunch of worthless slop as a result.I disagree and moreso feel like he's dealing with similar problems that've been around from the start (that being technical issues and lacking graphical prowess), which is much more noticeable when working with 3D, even moreso in HD, than when doing 2D, see that ever reposted comparison of Pokemon on GBA VS other GBA games (Minish Cap, Sword of Mana), and Pokemon on Switch VS other Switch games. I think the games are still good at their core and despite their issues are more than worthwhile experiences, I just wish they'd allow themselves to clean them up technically more than they do. SV has the best story (and arguably gameplay, but I never had any egregious glitches people shitpost about, only some annoying slowdown at most when going from one area to another ocassionally) in the series as far as I'm concerned, even if I like BW's a lot. The newer games are good, they just really deserve more polish than they get to let it truly shine.
>>543003512What is the context of thisCan't be too heavy if she can be blown away
>>543073091HAL has it pretty easy, even with Kirby growing in popularity it's still small enough as a franchise for Kumazaki to oversee everything and assure no one is messing up too much in handling it. Pokemon meanwhile has a too-many-cooks problem with several entire companies trying to do different things with the franchise with no one really having full control or a vision over what is happening. Some of it will be accidentally kino but most of it will be slop as a result. Sadly the main games fell into Ohmori's hands and he was unable to do any good work even after 3 generations.>>543073905Nah, Ohmori was never good and all he did was trash. He was just carried by the base pokemon gameplay still being decent on its own but everything he did hindered it rather than enhance it.
>>543079362>Ohmori was never good and all he did was trashI guess I'll just disagree then. I think a lot of the additions in the newer games are damn solid, stuff like Let's Go expanding on HGSS's follower mons into being a more involved mechanic while also helping out with grinding is great, I do specially love the open world approach in SV that still hints you towards an "intended" path with the leveling of each zone, the traversal with the Raidons over all is pretty damn great. But hey, matter of perspective n all, I've liked all of Ohmori's games a lot, my issues lie solely with the technical aspects which I still consider a bit of a shame, but again, been the case with the series from the start unfortunately.
forgotten land was really good, I enjoyed the switch 2 version alot
i'm starting to want a kirby game with the progression and level design of the nsmb seriesmore secrets, new level elements, alternate progression routes via secret level exits, and subgames and ability museums replacing toad houseseven kirby's floating trivializing platforming wouldn't be a problem, cause it'd be the player's choice to challenge themselves by not using it. plus, it was the same way in adventure
>>543082112thing people forget about floating is that it leaves you vulnerable in the air and low roofs do prevent it to some extent.
>>543081875Yeah it's complete ludo and a true masterpiece. It's weird how SCW seems to be ignored by the greater gaming community.>>543082112I can see that. I love branching paths in any platforming game and Kirby could pull it off nicely different abilities opening up different paths. Kinda like Amazing Mirror I suppose but more linear-ly.>floatingIt can just be limited like in FL. Even Crystal Shards did it too so it wouldn't be new to 2D Kirby anyways.
>>543083670>It's weird how SCW seems to be ignored by the greater gaming community.I love it a lot but to most they just probably see it as a smaller expansion, I think it's relatively rare to see DLCs discussed anywhere near as much as their maingame counterparts in general. Good shit for sure though.
>>543081875i dislike iti'm more about the fighting game aspects of kirby titles and to see them still limit abilities to one button for attacking gets in the way of the analog nature of 3D; e.g. you need to be absolutely still to perform a bomb throw instead of a bomb bowland second, i think the ability evolutions take away credit from the more definitive vanilla abilities, being outright upgrades to the originals instead of sidegrades that increase one attribute of the ability at the cost of anotheri think battle royale's control schemes and movesets along with copy scrolls instead of evolutions would make me like the game better
>>543086993I feel like the next 3D game will go for more abilities, they probably just wanted to play it more safe with less to test the waters for their first fully 3D Kirby game.
>>543089854nta but there are definitely some abilities that seem hard to translate to 3d from a glance
>>543096270that's certainly true, one thing you have to worry about is perspective, not to mention range, making it different enough from other things, height, translating moves, inputs, etc.
Meta Knight loves fat bitchesKing Dedede is a pedophile
>>543067606>>543073905>>543079362At some point I have to think the decision making at gamefreak is just malicious incompetence, like with all the problems these games have why are you making an xbox game? why are you not outsourcing development of the main games to help development? why is the actual dev team so small?And then there is just the regular consumer unfriendly stuff like subscription services to transfer pokemon and removing pokemon from games.Not even getting into my own personal tastes but the removal of battle towers/frontiers makes the easier training changes meaningless if you don't like wi-fi battles.Its very disappointing.
>>543099371 meta knight isn't cell sheesh

>>543103816the way things are going they are going to kill the golden goose sooner or later with how genuinely unprofessional they have been behaving the past decade or so, even if you take out the issues with graphics and glitches everything feels half assed and wasted potential compared to other games that deserve far more attention. (not even talking Kirby mind you) due to apathy or tribalism meanwhile the suits don't give a single fuck because the cards,t-shirts,posters, mugs, etc print fat stacks of cash money while people celebrate getting hoodwinked due to brand loyalty or just to just up little Timmy for a couple hours while the industry/brand dies from a death from a thousand cuts.to quote mr house:>"You're fortunate that I have a certain...tolerance for greed. I expect my business partners to be self-interested - but unlike you, smartly so."

>>543103816I do wish they'd allow themselves more of a budget and time to clean up the games, because again, I think the main meat of the games is still great, but they need more polish. Can't comment on the subscription stuff (only transferred forward once for ORAS's Gen 3 > Gen 6 diploma thing). Removing mons is a bit of a shame but at the same time it makes some more sense with newer games seeing as the total count is at 1000+ now, on top of newer games giving the mons presence in the overworld be it as followers or overworld encounters, which need to have more behaviors accounted for like their hitboxes and movement speed, etc. I do feel like they're bottlenecking themselves with the small dev team unfortunately, but I don't think that means the games themselves are bad. I never gave a single shit about the Battle facilities so I barely noticed their absence, if anything the lose of Aime and Pokethlon stung more for me.>>543113667>even if you take out the issues with graphics and glitches everything feels half assed and wasted potential compared to other games that deserve far more attentionNTA but I just... can't agree with that, I do genuinely think that everything else about the games but the tech aspects is well handled, the gameplay is damn solid and the additions in newer games have been more than substantial, they seem to be putting more care into the stories (specially with Legends and SV), I think the designs are still pretty great, I just don't see where the issues outside of the tech stuff lie at all. Sorry for rambling so much about this, it just feels like being constantly gaslit about this since it feels like the Pokemon games I played are a completely different reality from what people say about them.
>>543134171I wish they would take the help they could get, if those leaked development slides are true then they have actively denied help when nintendo requested they outsourced work which i cannot understand why. Removing pokemon was my cutoff point because it goes against the whole point i like pokemon and it was imo completely avoidable because all of the assets like models and animations have been the same for over 10 years now, i can get it for legends games because the gameplay is different but mainline games are still turn based.I know its a reductive accusation but i can't fathom any other excuse than laziness or contempt for being stuck as just the "pokemon devs", why else would they have games this unfinished and still split their team into working on another game for the xbox games showcase? Most devs would be gnawing at the chance to make something with pokemon on the box, but gamefreak seems to be trying to do anything else.

>>543144959Nobody knows.
>>543103816>>543113667i think that's why i gravitate towards the romhacks even before gen 8 made me quit the games outside of legends arceus, even if it seems most modern hacks are either discord-only or think challenge should be level scaling enemy pokemon while you have to EV train. i end up mainly gravitating to the more simple ones like touhoumon or relaying it back to kirby, puffy pink. though i also like ones like clover or snakewood (i know the latter is looked upon as a not good hack but i like that it tried doing something different even all the way back in 2010 even if the end result is nonsensical and really easy to break near the end of the game).
>>543059128>>543053350Was told to post here. I'll just do both and catbox it.
>>543157605 hell yeah dude
>>543145851 i love this little dancing kirby gif so much......
>>543163217Here you go, heavyweight rider.https://litter.catbox.moe/uu0xpi.png
>>543166457NTA but the coloring on those Susies are so fucking nice. It's the perfect blend of soft line coloring and loose painterly. The little heart highlight in Susie's hear is really cute. The proportions are really cute too, very compact and on-model but with an extra weight to her which makes me think Susie's business attire is some form of shape-wear and that's what she looks like underneath. 10/10.
>>543166457>on-model susieBless you, drawfag.
>>543167820>>543168057Thank you kindly.
>>543166457Well now...
>>543167820Popping Susie like a pastry in a can. All her pillowy doughy body spills out
you guys see that indie game that's a blatant air ride rip off?
>>543168057that susie's not on model
>>543182134art like >>542711421>>542651767>>542721313>>543166457are considered on model because Susie still has things like rayman hands and doesn't have a mouth and is not fully humanized.
>>543183729And isn't obese
>>543183729I agree with that, it's when you go full ginjinka like pic related then it's off model (or use a style that doesn't fit the series)
>>543183729On-model, but off character.She's on-model but chubbier.
>>543186267>On-model, but off character.I think that's the best way to describe this kind of visual deviation.
>>543169354Now what?
>>543189172time to break out the sun screen and apply it to susie, obviously.
>>543190743Whos the lucky one that gets to apply it?
>>543191353take a wild guess.
>>543191576Hmm is she laying on her tummy or her back. Guess that decides what needs coverage.
>>543173682 yeah, i remember the dev panicking when air riders was announced lmao
>>543193389Starts on her tummy and then flips onto her back for optimal sunscreen coverage and arousal.
>>543207783Im going to try and ask for another request, but I dont know if I can get them to do both views.
>>543207691that's accurate.
>>543208214 yeah, if epic yarn is anything to go by...
>>543211139everyone argues over waifu's or what have you but nobody talks about the more important debate:which dub of epic yearn is better?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ3tJhwrjashttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnRz7cjEgos

>>543212280that's some german ass ASMR sounding shit right there.
the forgotten, totally real aussie epic yarn dub when?>Welcome to dreamland ya cunts, place is fuckin' beut>"this grass feels like fukken shorts ay?">"oh fuck me, the yarn gave me ciggie butt brain"
>>543212650
I'm surprised nobody has drawn/made yarn versions of the newer characters. (or clay, clay is good too)
>>543213726 they're hard to work with
>>543215945yeah I suppose they would be.
>>543216838Captain Vul for Kirby Air Riders.
>>543221168sakurai... please... my goat...
>>543212280 oh wow
>>543221168I'd be cool with that.>>543224925could you imagine if he pulled a "everyone is here" again only with Kirby?

>>543243924cute couple
>>543278374>extremely loud incorrect buzzer
>>543278374I like to think that when they fuck the room fills with steam.
>>543278374a couple of besties, that is.
>>543284352besties do make for the best lovers
>>543264542Yeah those one vs one spin the bottle games would be intense.
forma de kirby
we only have 1 month to go now
>>543287607 i would have sex with both of them
>>543302727that'd probably not happen unless you got turned into a gyrill.

coming from nintendo today, the only machines covered in the direct that they have yet to show are slick, rocket and turboi think we might see news of a direct one week from now to get topped off on content
>>543312905i hope so...
>>543312905I think we might see it this week desu
where the fr*ck is Ribbon Fairy dakethough
>>543321914what makes you say that? next week would be way too early unless there's a third direct closer to releasethese things have to be spaced out properly
>>543323728Tied up.
>>543324337>way too earlyThe last one was two months ago, and there's only a month before release.
>>543324358Foreverial delitized tiedup Ribbon Fairy and loving it
>>543324781w-what?
>>543324384that's fairreason i said it's early is cause i'd think they'd want to stir up hype closer to releasebut that said i'd also think that if it were this week we'd have some info on it by now, if not in the next 12 hours
>>543326107it's a meme phrase that came from a terribly made fetish image.
>>543332427I feel like I should be thankful for being ignorant of it.
>>543332632alot of those images that have text are funny if you don't have the context.Every little girl is a type of cheese.
Is Susie the Kirby equivalent of Rosalina?>Was introduced in a entry that focused more on being cinematic than actual gameplay >Was heavily pushed throughout the 2010s as they appear in literally everything from games to merchandise to promotional material >Both are long haired immortal beings that has tragic backstories, which also involves their families >Both are heavyweight characters >All the previous female characters were tossed aside or just completely ignored in favor for them

>>543334848ehhh...no, I'd say magolor is more fitting since he got shilled waaaaay more.

>>543339036>the song that plays when Meta Knight watches Susie eat her extra large tripple chocolate double diabetes decker chunky cookie fudge fuck-splosion surprise
>>543334848Queen Sectonia would be the Kirby equivalent of Pauline
>>543341331wouldn't nichel make more sense?
>>543335834 i feel bad for susie but also the feeding fetish waddle doo and meta knight are significantly more concerning in this image
>>543344060waddle doo eating in general is a terrifying mental image.
>>543345017waddle doos eat by slipping food into their eyelid and under their eyeball

>>543334848Nah. Rosalina has been shilled way more and Kirby is more even with its characters getting attention.>immortal?
>>543345017>>543345174i just figured they absorbed it like waddle dees?
