Hear me out. I know this may seem funny. But I always wanted to write this out. I can’t speak for other Soul Calibur games but my experience in Soul Calibur 2.

Usually when any fighter in general throws punches or attacks they would say “HA!” “HEYA!” “RA!”

But I remember Soul Calibur 2, those grunts were whole other dimensions.

Kilik is my prime example. He would say “CATS CATS HEYAA!” When double edged attacking. Or “KONGO!” When charging or spinning his bo staff. Oh here’s my favorite one. When he grabs an enemy, I swear I could hear him say “GLORIAAAA!!”

Link my man, hahaha sure he doesn’t speak but I think I remember when he uses his bomb, arrow and boomerang I can hear him say “SODUS!” when grunting

Nightmare I remember his spinning attack literally “ra ra RAAAAAH!” that my friend made a Lady Gaga parody remix out if that voice clip.

Anyone experience this in other soul calibur games?

Defend your responses. Interested in others own opinions. Remember its okay to disagree

Falco sneaks Fox and Slippy into a place he knows and it turns out to be a Night Club called "Corneria Furries." Slippy tries his first drink. They get discovered by Peppy who's looking for them since he got a job inquiry and the 3 all shocked and says "You're father use to come here too!"

Drop in yours!

I am curious on what other fans wished to see what Nintendo does with F-Zero as a dormant franchise. Do you think it should remain a racing game? Do you think it can have new formula of gameplay added? Do you ever want to play as Captain Falcon and run around doing Falcon Punches in game?

I think that's a struggle Nintendo has with F-Zero for decades now, lack of new ideas I guess. What do you all think?

I've been meaning to ask this for years because it's something I've always been curious about.

I grew up playing video games, mostly Nintendo. Between my siblings, cousins, and neighbors, I played nearly every Nintendo console except the NES and SNES since I wasn't born yet.

As a kid, I visited Yemen during the summers, and one thing I noticed was that almost everyone around me only knew PlayStation. The games people talked about or played were usually FIFA and Dragon Ball Z, which wasn't surprising considering how popular football is in the region and how widely DBZ and other classic anime were shown on Arabic TV channels.

One summer, we brought our Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS with us. My cousins were fascinated, but they kept calling the Wii a "PlayStation" because they had never seen one before. We had games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, The Legend of Zelda, 3D Mario games, Mario Kart, Star Fox, F-Zero, and Metroid (some were GameCube games played through the Wii's backward compatibility). They didn't recognize any of the characters. At one point, they even thought Fox McCloud was an older version of Ratchet from Ratchet & Clank.

The DS was another surprise for them. It was the first time they had ever seen a handheld with a touchscreen.

Fast forward to today, and internet access in Yemen is much more common than it was back then. People can easily look up games and consoles online. I've also noticed small shops and street markets selling PlayStation 5 consoles, which made me wonder how gaming culture has changed over the years. I know not every part of Yemen has reliable electricity or easy access to gaming, but I'm still curious about what people play today and how Sony became so widespread there.

Recently, I posted a picture of my Nintendo Switch 2 on social media, and a friend from Yemen messaged me asking how much I'd sell it for in Saudi riyals. I told him, "I'm not selling it—I just got it!" He had mistaken it for a PlayStation Portal or a Steam Deck.

Are there any Yemeni gamers here who can share their experiences? I'd love to hear what gaming culture is like today, what consoles are most popular, and whether Nintendo has become more recognizable over the years.

As a side note, I also have relatives in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and they mostly grew up with Xbox and PlayStation. It makes me wonder if Nintendo has generally had a much smaller presence in the Middle East outside of people discovering it through social media or the internet.

I am on Chapter 5 and my Link is at 60 Exp. I take side quests to get more experience levels and I got 2 gauges and on the beginning of 2nd row of heart health. I just use Link for the most part because I like sword users with no extra gimmicks or attacks that make me opened for attack. I use buy more experience for my party at the military camp.

Currently doing side quests now, I am struggling with Lynel fights. Especially when given a time limit and I have 2 giant bosses jumping me at the same time. I cannot just fight them without enough rod powers and to stun them a little. Hinox at least I can feel take my damage whereas Lynne's no matter how many slashed I attack him its not enough so I rely to on stunning him and getting to weak point to press x.

Mostly I am just overwhelmed with 2 bosses in the same boundaries. What levels or Link weapons are effective against Lynels?

InshaAllah I will start watching Arab series. As an Arab American I hardly watched any because it didn’t appeal to me when I was youger. Now I wanna watch and understand Arab story telling and culture.

I’m into cultural and historic. Meaning I am not interested into Gulf series. They just aren’t my type of interest plus I don’t like Gulf dialect.

I’m happy I get to finally play GX instead of only being a few minutes of a demo disc (back then when I bought Mario Kart: DD with a second disc for other GC game demos)

I’m still getting use to the high speed drive controls. When I started Story mode on Chapter 1 I did the capsule run. I was like okay cool, onwards. Only to notice that I have to do hard mode??

I can’t for the life of me get it done! I have 3 laps and 1 minute to get them all! I am always off by 5-6 capsule. Those who pulled it off, how did you do it?

Posted a few days ago but I got a kick out of this. I hope he posts more Peppy dad jokes 🤣

HELPS is probably my only option. I have around 4 years of resume gap because of caring for a family member. I did a bootcamp last year and still didn't do anything productive afterwards. I use keywords when searching for jobs and nothing pops up from my degrees and bootcamp keywords.

Sometimes I even question if State jobs are worth it if you start with 18 but still take home a paycheck to paycheck. Only reason is keeping me interested in State jobs is stability. Otherwise I'm not really intimidated by it anymore.

I’ve watched many game footage. And after playing Star Fox 2026, I became interested in the gameplay of Starlink. Many people say its what Star Fox could of been on the Switch 1.

If I get it, is it FULL of Star Fox characters most of the time? Or you have to play as the Starlink characters? I am interested in the way its like an open world survival game and different things the arwing could do.

Thoughts?

"Shiny. Too bad I don't do medals"

I don't understand that context. What does it mean if he doesn't do medals? He doesn't do recognitions, attention?

I thought for a mil second that medals are heavy and fulls his weight down because birds are light as a feather but I was like nah there's something else.

I'm sure there is a simple explanation for this. What do you guys think?

Peppy was right to tell him to not embarrass him. He's like dude not now.

With the game being a week away, where are we all at currently now with Star Fox 2026 and a Switch 2?

Just came across this and looking to do some dental assistant without having to do years of HVCC. its 15 weeks but I want more insight. Has anyone heard if this and went there?

Especially for Grade 18 HELPS job. It's been almost a month. Before the interview ended they stated it will take 4-6 weeks. They also mentioned regardless that I would get an e-mail either a job offer or they selected someone else.

I felt confident for the job, from the descriptions I read and what they were explaining their role was I felt that I was a great fit, although I don't know of how many more others I am competing with. It was the type of interview where they asked "if you were chosen for the position: will you accept it?"

What's everyone current experience with Job interviews and not hearing a peep back? It more than 6 weeks common? Should I e-mail HR for a follow up? So far not my references mentioned to me somebody called them not was I called for a finger print. My background check is 100% clean.

The brief clip of showing Star Fox Adventures but not Assault was a little bit interesting. I know it’s a small direct but even a few seconds of other games wouldn’t hurt. They immediately jumped to showing Fox vs Falco in Super Smash Bros. I totally understand they didn’t show Command or Zero. But I can’t help but think why did they just show Adventures after N64’s era. I mean, I like that they acknowledged Adventures even though it was a Star Fox skin on Dinosaur Planet. Could it indicate something?

What do you all think?

As we have a month left before we get to experience more lore from Star Fox (assuming the cutscenes and upgraded dialogue will lead us to new lore), what are some fun ideas or head canons you made up and stand by?

Here are mine:

1. Andross is a master in many fields like physics, anantomy, medical, surgical. Thus why he is a genius.

2. James McCloud is actually reincarnated into a human which is why he's in F-Zero. Explains why in the prologue direct his status is: "presumed dead." Throw in the black hole concept from an early game.

3. Slippy's family is full of engineers

4. Falco and his former gang once robbed from Leon and jumped him which explains the rivalry.

5. Panther likes telenovelas.

6. Lylat System has a popular sports called "Lylat Dogfights" where its like 2026's battle mode with teams. It's actually broadcasted and viewed by many watchers live. (lol)

7. Krystal is the daughter of a chief in Cerinia. Her staff is a family heriloom. (I know it too cliched)

8. Wolf maybe from Fichina because Wolves can handle the subzero temperatures. He probably came from a pack.
