Welcome welcome, friend! So happy you could join us

am i really expected to memorize takane's waist size?

Well, guilty as charged, I googled it when I first joined. So I would say no.

What JRPGs and visual novels do you play?

[altuixde]

Welcome, freddy!

After finishing episodes of the anime on crunchyroll, don't forget to read the comments below the video. Some of them are pretty funny. And post your thoughts on this forum! I never get tired of hearing what people think of the anime.

Miku as in Hatsune Miku? Can you recommend some good songs by her? I don't think we have a Vocaloid thread yet... maybe we need one!

i googled as well lol
as far as jrpgs go i do love the persona series, i always try every final fantasy but i never cleared any except 7 i always end up losing interest/getting stuck etc. i love 6 alot and always try to beat it every other year but something always comes up XD other than that ive played stuff like neptunia, kingdom hearts, tales, and rune factory

visual novels i love but theres not too many options and they can be a little demanding considering all my other hobbies, ive read higurashi a couple months back and i loved it but man was it long! i got sick of itr at one point and almost quit but glad i didnt otherwise ive played the ace attourneys, zero escape series, hotel dusk games, dagan ronpa 1 and maybe some others but im brain farting atm XD

Welcome to the fold, Fred. A fan of Iori and wrestling does spice up diversity, so that's nice too. Moreover, whose your first favourite wrestler? Mine's Owen Hart. Yeah, I'd also prefer if the security questions didn't mandate over 10 seconds of one's time with a Google search, but at least these won't last long to my memory.

I'd be wary of reading through said anime comments, though; trolls have a tendency to drop spoilers mid-watch during a series.

i like reading the comments too theyre funny lol
i just finished ep 12 and i gotta say miki is abit of a brat but shes still hot and has that it factor so you gotta let it slide lol

yes hatsune miku, i dont really go out seeking vocaloid songs i just love the project diva games, so id recommend playing those if you can because in my opinion its not the same just listening to her if youre not watching her dance around cause shes so adorable id recommend melt or the world is mine if you've never heard a song since theyre two of her most popular and i think theyre perfect first songs, they were my first XD

Good call. Maybe reading the comments during the second time around would be a good idea.

The first time I saw Miku dance was in idolmaster 2, and Melt and World is Mine were her songs. I didn't really get into Vocaloid until I saw a concert, though. Have you watched some of her concerts?

I was actually hoping you'd say Persona do you have a favorite one?

I've never played Dangan Ronpa but I've read it on SomethingAwful and watched the anime. Same with Ace Attorney, I just watched the playthroughs since I don't own a DS (yet)

I've also liked Higurashi since...2007? Jeez. And I was still to young to watch that stuff, haha.

ugh i hate trolls too, if im watching a plot heavy series i usually stay away from comments but idolm@ster isnt really that plot heavy

my favorite wrestler is tricky, id say brock lesnar overall probably, especially during his first run, his matches were always excellent and he just has everything a wrestler needs except mike skills but thats where his mouthpiece paul heyman comes in
honurable mentions would include steve austin, taker, hbk, and you know all the typical choices, one of my favorites is also benoit but you know how he turned out, really sucks he really was one of my favorites growing up and his legacy was tarnished :/

as far as current superstars go id say ryback is super hilarious i wish he'd get a push, cesaro is also fantastic (:

i woke up super early to watch her recent 3/9 day mini concert, and i watched magical mirai, im always late on every fandom so thats all ive seen lmao
always when something gets popular im like bahh whatever, then super late down the line i check it out and im like omg wtf have i been doing??? lol

of course my favorite is 4 XD i played 3 immeditely before it thinking, omg nothing can top this! and then i just fell in love with 4, after i finished it the first time i was like "omg i dont want to live anymore NOTHING will top that!" of course im glad im still alive because theres plenty of great stuff out there lmao XD
i bought 2 and played a little but everytime i try a run through i get distracted by a new release or something, i have a nasty long ass backlog of games to play lol especially on steam :x

Welcome to the forums, Freddy!

Pro wrestling, huh? I dip into it occasionally by watching YouTube videos. I will say the personalities are awesome! CAN YA SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN!? XD!

Also, since you like Pro wrestling, check out my fan game idea, The iDOLM@STER: Wrestle For You! on the Community Works page. I am sorry for this shameless plug!  X)!

i took a quick look and i gotta say i love the idea! since i was a kid id always want to see characters from any series get a fighting or wrestling game lmao idk maybe im just barbaric like that? XD
i love that you set iori as a heel tag team with azusa! iori would make for a great heel and azusa would be great as the power in the team while iori seems like the type to tell azusa to distract the ref while she gets a chair lol
id love to see this get made somehow, best thing you could try is get a wwe game (latest being 2k14) and trying making the characters in there yourself, their create a wrestler tool hasnt been updated much in years(the wwe games have dipped in quality tremendously in my opinion since 2008 but theyre getting better) but if you go next gen i hear this years game might be on next gen consoles, maybe theyll make things even better for those versions
either way id look into it if youre not planning on coding your own game, you can make your own arenas, wrestlers, logos, set actual idolmaster songs as their entrance music, make move sets for them and even upload the creations for others to enjoy, of course the created characters wont look great but itd still be a way of bringing your ideas to fruition ^__^

I did want to try playing the WWE games at some point. The create-a-wrestler feature is probably the one mode I'd play with more than anything. Hey, if I get WWE '13, I can have Takane vs Mike Tyson. I'm not even kidding, Mike Freaking Tyson is a legit playable character in that game!

create a wrestler is great, especially for getting wrestlers who arent in the game, most of the time caws made by fans look better than the models the developers make themselves with their body scanning and all that jazz lol
although wwe 13 had a great roster, it had alot of bugs that annoyed the hell out of me, most annoying thing was the ai was terrible and i always won and theyd always kick out at 1 unless they were ready to lose then itd be a 3 count

made it terrible when i tried to have realistic matches with drama lol so id personally recommend wwe 2k14 since it addresses those problems and im sure you could download a great mike tyson caw since all his moves are still in the game xD
