I’ll get my list in tomorrow afternoon. I was out all evening and IDF was out for me all day.

Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter (multi-platform; 1997) I don't play fighting games unless they are designed specifically to appeal to a crowd that doesn't really play fighting games (like Smash). I grew up on largely handheld games that don't really lend themselves to the type of precise controls that you really need for fighters (or large enough screen sizes) and I never got along with my siblings well enough to play them on consoles. I didn't grow up playing games in arcades. I like playing fighting games casually with my friends who also don't play fighting games if we go to a hybrid bar/arcade but that's about it. So I apologize for the large amount of apathy I have towards this genre. Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter is really the second game in the popular and enduring Marvel vs. Capcom series. The first game was X-Men vs. Street Fighter. It was originally released in the arcades in 1997 and founds its way to consoles in 1998 with the Sega Saturn and 1999 with the Playstation. In the arcade and perfect Sega port, each player selects two characters to play in a tag-team battle. The memory limitations removed the tag-team aspect in the Playstation version which was cause for a lot of criticism. When the game was released Capcom first sought to "fix" what was "broken" in the X-Men vs. Street Fighter game. Namely things like infinite combos and an unbalanced roster. However, that wasn't a popular change among fans and Capcom decided to just embrace the broken-ness and insanity of the series going forward. That's about all I have for Marvel vs. Capcom.

Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus (PS2; 2002) I guess since all my favorite 2D Platformers and Metroidvanias are getting cut, I'll just cut some beloved 3D platformers. JK that's not really my strategy, but it almost feels that way since I'm cutting Sly Cooper and Spyro back-to-back. So like I mentioned in my Spyro write-up I spent all of Generation 5 playing my Gameboy Color. Well unfortunately for the Playstation 2, best-selling video game console of all time, my loyalties pretty firmly lied with Nintendo and I got a GameCube. This meant that not only did I never play Sly Cooper, I didn't even know that Sly Cooper existed really until this rankdown. Unlike other a lot of other platforming games and like the title might suggest, Sly Cooper is a stealth-platformer. It makes sense, he's a thief. While Sly can attack enemies with his cane, he is killed by a single hit and therefore there's a lot of encouragement to make their way through levels via stealth rather than brute force. Throughout the game you can collect pages from the titular Thievius Raccoonus that Sly is working to recover from the Fiendish Five to learn more moves that can help you throughout the game. The the game was released in 2002 for the Playstation 2, from screenshots and gifs it still looks like a really good game. That's likely due to its cel-shading and stylized animation. And though I've never played it, it does look like a fun game and it did get really good reviews when it came out. Maybe someday I'll get around to this game but for now it's looks like one of those really good games that I might never play.

I think they have been removed.

Spyro the Dragon 2: Ripto’s Rage! (PS1; 1999) I missed the whole 5th Generation of Consoles because I was too busy playing Pokemon on my Gameboy Color. Actually, I almost did participate in this generation because my Dad did buy me and my sister a PS1 with the original Spyro and Chrono Cross. However, our Chrono Cross game was corrupted and the dog chewed all the cords before I could play Spyro. And that was the end of my PS1 days. I'm mostly telling you all that because despite the fact that Spyro is an iconic Playstation character and that even though I owned a Spyro game, I've never been attached at all to Spyro. The original Spyro trilogy on Playstation (and most of the subsequent games) are platforming games. You solve puzzles and collect items and fight against enemies using abilities like gliding, breathing fire, and his charge attack. Throughout the game you can learn to do things like swim, climb, and headbash which open new areas up to you. Spyro and Sparx, his dragonfly friend, both return from the first game. In the game, Spyro is summoned from his world to the fantasy world of Avalar. He learns that the group who summoned him accidentally summoned a warlock named Ripto who is setting out to conquer Avalar; thus, they summoned a dragon to defeat him. And playing as Spyro you collect talismans throughout the world in order to beat Ripto's cronies and eventually Ripto himself. The Spyro games do seem like a lot of fun so maybe I can borrow my friend's Reignited Trilogy to play them eventually. And I do know from my experience that they play more fun and more fairly than Crash Bandicoot (the other major Playstation platforming trilogy of the day). But I'm cutting Spyro because of the choices I had, it was one of the easier cuts to make.

Wow I can’t wait to rebuy all of Taylor Swift’s re-recordings next year.

I am getting Shield because my IRL friend is getting Sword. And he pre-ordered before I did.

I'll use my item on Sylvally

LOL if Amazon delivers it tomorrow I will.

FINALLY I GET THAT HOENN TITLE

Type:Null Type:Null is a normal-type legendary Pokemon first introduced in Gen VII and I love it. , Type:Null is a chimera made in a lab by a mad scientist. Fearing the power of the Ultra-Beasts, Type:Null was created as a weapon to combat them. Originally designed to be able to use all Pokemon types; thus, the Pokemon was originally named Type:Full. However, Type:Full were unable to be contained and went berserk and thus they are restrained by the helmets they wear and put into cryostasis and re-branded Type:Null. In the games and in the anime, Gladion rescues one of the Type:Null. Eventually he gives it to your player character. Type:Null is one of the few Legendary or Mythical Pokemon able to evolve (the others being Cosmog, Cosmoem, Phione, and Meltan). When you have a high enough friendship with Type:Null it will break its helmet and evolve into the very majestic Sylvally. Ugh, I love all Pokemon that evolve via friendship: Eevee, Golbat, Alolan Meowth, babies, Woobat, all of the other ones I'm missing. I wish all Pokemon evolved via friendship. Anyway, Type:Null is a normal-type Legendary Pokemon with 95 in all stats except speed. This makes it fairly versatile, a bit of jack-of-all-trades. It can learn a lot of great moves leveling up and even more via TM. As a normal-type Pokemon it has one weakness and one immunity. And that about covers Type:Null.

I don't know the link! Also angry that Google has cache'd too recently for my Marvel Rankdown. Which is dead until IDF brings it back to life. LOL.

Thank you!!!

Since I know Victoria is alive I'm re-@ing her.

you are alive!

Symphonia has Colette. Symphonia loses.

The television media companies not owned by Disney: CBS Viacom (which is about to merge officially with CBS) Time Warner Sony Comcast (which owns NBC) Yup. That's it. YUP.

Vesperia has Yuri, Rita, Repede, Raven, Judith, Flynn, Estelle and Patty. The cast is the best of the Tales games for sure.
