Joe's Monologues - 12/19/23

Hello, everyone. This is the final Joe's Monologues of this year as we are nearing the end of 2023 and approaching 2024. We hope you ring in the New Year fast approaching really well. I am gonna close out 2023 with this year's final episode of Joe's Monologues, so let's get started.

Update on My Wrapper: Offline Career:

My progress on my Wrapper: Offline Career is coming along nicely, but as I said before, I will not go full blast until I get a gaming laptop with better specs. I am still on the verge of coming up with new video ideas that involve less assets and also making some more characters that I am featuring on my videos. I am using LazyPy.ro for longer speeches and TTS voices that are not on Wrapper: Offline.

The things that make Wrapper: Offline so superior is that it is used locally so that Vyond wouldn't shut it down and an internet connection wouldn't be required, it's free to use so that we can make videos 24/7 and has every non-business theme.

Super Smash Flash 2 Beta:

For over two years since 1.3.1, which gives every character their own stage and Final Smash, came out, the devs of the game have been working their butts on the upcoming update, 1.3.2 and they post screenshots every Saturday. It has a lot of content, like the original background for certain stages, new music and new costumes. What really hyped me up is Bowser's Castle getting a complete makeover. It was first introduced back in 0.9a. And in version 1.3.2, Bowser's Castle is getting a brand new look, with the throne in the background. It looks savage. Just look at the serious lighting. Now that's a menacing style that gets the Nintendo Seal of Approval.

I am waiting patiently for that without asking when the update will come out. I don't have to wait any longer because they are leaning towards a Q1 2024 release among others that are releasing on that date. The wait is finally coming to an end. What I want for 1.3.2 is rollback netcode, the option to choose a song to play during the match like in Smash Ultimate and fixes for public lobbies. Why I'm telling you this is because I am looking forward to play the new version.

Crash Team Rumble:

Artisans Arena dropped days ago and an event of Icy Artisans Arena came in to celebrate that. It is Spyro's home world, similar to Green Hill Zone from the Sonic franchise. What makes it unique to that map is gems are scattered across Artisans Arena instead of Wumpa Fruit to reflect the Spyro universe's charm. Summer Forest will also have gems. I was gonna play more competitive matches, but I decided to wait until Elora and the rest of the Season 3 content release for the real deal. My first Crash Team Rumble VOD is up on my separate gaming channel on YouTube, so go check it out. You're gonna love it. And forgive me if the quality is poor in some scenes. I have a new router that is stronger than the old one. It's really barbaric, though.

I was collecting certain number of badges to unlock Heroes. I am five Booster badges away from unlocking Dr. Neo Cortex. Once I have him, I will have eight. And when Elora hits Early Access, I will unlock her. I am still on the process and source of earning enough Assist badges to unlock Ripto. In the meantime, I'll play some Party Mode rounds in grinding my Battle Pass.

Not only I have fun. I realized something interesting. The placement of the hero select screen in Crash Team Rumble reminded me of Overwatch. It's because it has three classes. But the Scorers are on the left side while the Blockers are on the middle. I feel like the Scorers should be in the middle because they are often damage dealers while the Blockers should be on the left side because they are often tanks. But the Boosters being on the right side is a good position because they are often supports.

E3 is Dead:

It's official. E3 is now cancelled forever. It is the end of the road for what was once the biggest gaming showcase. The long running event for over two decades is officially dead. E3 has been a downfall several years ago after Sony, EA and Nintendo withdrawn themselves and intended to host their own independent shows. E3 2023 got cancelled after Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and Ubisoft withdrawn themselves from the event. I am sorry that E3 faced tough challenges because of the COVID-19 pandemic fueled back in the beginning of 2020.

I seriously don't understand why they are blaming Geoff for E3's death. It's bullcrap. There's no way in heck that he killed E3. He invented Summer Game Fest to fill in the gap E3's cancellation has left in 2020. No offense, but I don't blame him. Summer Game Fest is known for game announcements. Sure, it doesn't have press conferences, but they are just immature for them to blame E3's death on that man. The show is returning in June 2024 and since E3 is dead, Summer Game Fest should be E3-esque, with press conferences, demos, trailers and more.

E3 was the biggest gaming showcase known for demos, trailers and press conferences. The worst E3 that happened was E3 2008. It's because on that year, Nintendo didn't mention a ton of things in their press conference but Wii Sports and had to do a sales pitch. It really ticked them off. They did host their digital only showcase back in 2021, but they ended up losing more money than they earned because it wasn't beneficial. And now, after 28 years, E3 is officially dead after challenges that happened earlier in the decade. It's a darn shame hearing that. I was looking forward to see a Crash Team Rumble-esque Mario game get announced there too.

R.I.P. E3 - 1995-2023

Wanting a 4v4 Online Game of the Mario Franchise:

I am a big fan of Mario. His latest game, Super Mario Bros. Wonder came out recently and it won Best Family Game at the Game Awards. The Mario franchise has sports games, regular games, party games, kart racing games and the ones on the Paper Mario universe. But there is one thing the franchise is missing and that is an online 4v4 game.

I thought it would be cool as heck if the Mario series ever gets a 4v4 online game that is Crash Team Rumble, but with Mario to have characters and maps across the Mario universe, come in seasons, three classes, cosmetics, and character-specific ultimates you see on every MOBA. Imagine Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Geno, Diddy Kong and Pauline as the Scorers, but Damage heroes; Bowser, Donkey Kong, Wario, Midbus and Smithy as the Blockers, but Tank heroes; and Peach, Waluigi, Daisy, Rosalina, Plum, Birdo, Fawful and Mallow as the Boosters, but Support heroes.

If they put in Sonic the Hedgehog characters and maps on there, imagine Sonic as the Scorer that Spyro is, Sally Acorn as the Booster and Dr. Robotnik as the Blocker. Maps from the Sonic universe must use rings instead of coins.

I want this to be announced at E3, but since it is dead after facing tough challenges, like the COVID-19 pandemic, withdrawal of developers and money loss after the digital only event in 2021, seeing it announced at the Summer Game Fest is the only option, even though it's not E3.

Farewell, 2023:

This is the final Joe's Monologues of 2023 as we are approaching the holidays when everyone takes a break as a culmination of the year until January when the New Year starts. Man, what a great year 2023 has been. Working has been progressing well since the COVID-19 pandemic and we didn't even have to worry about the dangers and I am still pleased that I get to play my favorite PlayStation oldies. It has been a wild ride, man. I am looking forward to 2024.

SG X BBTAG Update #7

Welcome to Update #7 of the Skullgirls X BBTAG update series and this one is gonna be very special as a 20th Skullgirls character in their BBTAG palette has been added to my projects and you're gonna see who it is now. And the 20th Skullgirls character in their BBTAG palette is... *drumroll*

That's right, folks! Aeon is the 20th Skullgirls character eligible for her BBTAG palette of Vatista added to my projects as she is added to the palette editor. You'll see them in later projects later on. Also updated Double to her new image that you will also see in later projects. Now, this collage is becoming even more a masterpiece after adding Minette, Feng, Venus, Christmas and Aeon in their Celica, Chie, Linne, Yuzuriha and Vatista palettes. But as it bears saying, the placement and their images are subject to change.

During BBTAG 2.0:

During BBTAG 3.0:

In both periods, the Under Night In-Birth row has been filled out after Aeon's Vatista palette is added. But in the BBTAG 3.0 period, all rows have been filled out while in the BBTAG 2.0 period, the Persona 4 Arena row is still left with one open slot.

During BBTAG 2.0:

During BBTAG 3.0:

If Aeon doesn't get her Vatista palette, it will stay on my palette pack on both periods.

Offline Screen:

Before Crossplay is implemented:

After Crossplay is implemented:

Updated my separate channel's offline screen and Discord server's banner art in tandem to have Aeon's Vatista palette and the new image of Annie in her Izayoi palette. Marie is back on the right side, but with a final image as a result of having an even number of characters in their BBTAG palettes. Also moved Umbrella, Feng, Christmas and Aeon to their new placements on the left side of the art. And with Snow Sisters being a perfect fit for Aeon so that she can be eligible for her Vatista palette, she will be legal during my online casual I am postponing until I get a gaming laptop with 144hz, which is an insane amount of hertz.

Updated my fanmade character select screen to put Marie's portrait back on the top of the middle column, Christmas' portrait on the top of the first column and Aeon's portrait on the top of the third column. Also brought the border back, but it's colored dark brown to give it a filmstrip feel and put the online timer below the potraits.

And as a treat, I have a new collage containing portraits of 20 Skullgirls characters in their nifty and fly BBTAG palettes. I mean, just look how nifty they are. Again, I am strongly agreeing with Cerebella's Mika palette because of her knack of punching and grabbing. These are the characters that will be legal during my postponed online casual. Do not worry, Minette, Feng, Venus, Christmas and Aeon will be legal once they become playable characters.

D. Violet is also added to the palette editor. Unfortunately, because she is assigned to a character theme that doesn't fit perfectly with her personality, she is not eligible for her BBTAG palette. This means D. Violet will be banned from my online casual on both periods.

And that about does it for this update. I am freaking astonished at the way that all of my projects are becoming even more a masterpiece. I know I want the 20th Skullgirls character eligible for their BBTAG palette to be a male, but it is not. It's instead Aeon eligible for her Vatista palette. But it's cool. I wanted her Vatista palette to fill out the UNI row anyway. However, Aeon's Vatista palette is not the final BBTAG palette, so there will be more to come. I rather for the next character to be the one eligible for their P4A palette.

With the 20 BBTAG palettes on my projects, let's see how this endeavor goes.

With that being said, it's time for another story on how I love making BBTAG palettes out of Skullgirls characters to support the launch party.

The Skull Heart has been destroyed, but Marie herself was spared and is now free from all influence created with the Skull Heart's power. She now sits peacefully at Hilgard's Castle. The Canopy Kingdom is at a peaceful state. From lightyears away comes a mysterious diamond shaped meteor. Seemingly with purpose, it rockets toward the Canopy Kingdom. Upon the meteor crash and explosion, the Canopy Kingdom becomes BBTAG Kingdom. From the burning rubble, Marie survives and dons her Orie palette. Others also survive and don their BBTAG palettes. But not all of them survived the meteor explosion.

Those in their BBTAG palettes have all but one goal in all of the universe... Is to become the champion.

Joe's Monologues - 12/11/23

Hello, everyone, KnockDownJoe here. It's time for another episode of Joe's Monologues. Yesterday's was interesting because I went over the story in SMITE Pro League Season X so far as the Styx Ferrymen, Atlantis Leviathans, Oni Warriors and Jade Dragons make their way to Worlds, which is around the corner. Now, today's gonna be interesting as well, so let's get started.

Crash Team Rumble:

I was playing and streaming some some Crash Team Rumble yesterday and so far, still little to no lag or network skips. This is all thanks to my new router. Shoutouts to my new router for letting me play and stream Crash Team Rumble smoothly and well, as well as other online only games. None to my crappy old router, so to heck with that.

But that's not all because Season 3 dropped and Spyro, the titular purple dragon has joined the rumble with his fire breath. But he is not alone because Elora the Faun from Spyro 2 is also joining the rumble. Ripto is the first Spyro character to make his way onto Crash Team Rumble back in Season 2. And in Season 3, Spyro and Elora, the "Sonic and Sally" of Spyro the Dragon make their debut to the game along with two new maps, Artisans Arena and Summer Forest to release later in the season.

Spyro is available during his Early Access release, so to unlock him, you must collect three dragon eggs first seen in Spyro: Year of the Dragon scatted across maps in Party Mode or Competitive Mode during the period. I am amazed at Toys for Bob adding three Spyro characters to the mix. But three is not nearly enough, so I want more Spyro characters to be added. I was able to unlock him, by collecting the first three dragon eggs on Party Mode. I get to keep him permanently too for that, along with more characters I've unlocked. It's a miracle for Spyro to make his way into the rumble, hoping this paves the way for the future of Spyro.

Now, I am waiting for Elora to drop so that I can unlock her and keep her forever. And she will soon kick butt and heal her allies in Crash Team Rumble in the beginning of January, which is when Elora drops during her Early Access. But to get Ripto, I must earn 50 KO and Relic Assist badges and they are easier said than done since they are Epic and Legendary badges.

So far, I have seven characters in my collection after unlocking four more, but still have one Booster type, so I need to unlock more of them. To unlock more Boosters, I need to earn Booster badges. And to earn Booster badges, I must capture Gems on Competitive Mode if it means unlocking more Boosters. I am five Booster badges away from unlocking Dr. Neo Cortex. I got four powers on my inventory and I will unlock more of them. I am uploading my first Crash Team Rumble VOD that will show how I earned enough badges to unlock characters and powers on my separate gaming channel on YouTube and you're gonna love it.

And by the way, since I am getting a gaming laptop with 144hz and better specs soon, I plan to buy Crash Team Rumble on Steam if it's ever confirmed and there is cross-progression across all platforms. Not only that because since Spyro and Elora are joining the party, it's time we get to see Hunter and Bianca make their debut next so that we can have a double date between Spyro and Elora, and Hunter and Bianca on our team. No third wheel will be involved.

This reminds me. You know how Spyro and Elora are the "Sonic and Sally" of Spyro the Dragon? Well, one of the Archie comics indicates that Bunnie Rabbot and Cat have a same type of friendship Sonic and Sally have, so I am considering Hunter and Bianca, the "Cat and Bunnie" of Spyro the Dragon. And I guess SEGA wouldn't allow that.

Vyond Removed Oddcast TTS Voices:

Okay, so I went to watch some videos on YouTube and there is a situation I came across that made people very angry. It's about the part when Vyond removed Oddcast voices. It is the worst thing Vyond has done to make people ticked to the max. That happened on mid-October when they had to do this. They did more than just remove the Oddcast TTS voices. They replaced them with AI voices, which requires a most expensive plan that they need to pay. That really made the community mad. I didn't know that they would remove Oddcast TTS voices and replace them with AI voices that they need to pay.

Fortunately, there is a YouTube video that explains how do you get the Oddcast TTS voices back on Vyond, by using LazyPy.ro, which has an ultimate selection of TTS voices across the TTS family. But I am using Wrapper: Offline and the Oddcast voices are on there. I need them for my YOLO Funtimes series for Sarah and Rachel to be voiced by Julie and Allison in commemoration of the show's impending new season, Rainbow Trinity. And since my first YOLO Funtimes video has less assets, I can upload it on this computer I am using.

Skullgirls Update Regarding Marie:

Yesterday, I received a tweet saying that 6.1 is gonna come out today. And now, here we are. The 6.1 update is coming out today and it makes Marie completely available. This means Marie will be available in all Standard Relics and Move Relics, will have her Prize Fight and balance tweaks. This is the real deal as 6.1 brings Marie to complete availability. Servers are going down for maintenance at noon during Standard Time. Once that happens, I'm gonna do a fun session when I play the BBTAG characters' theme and looking at their BBTAG palettes. The first phase is using the random order. Then I use the wheel to help me decide which theme to play and which BBTAG palette to display.

But that is not all. I received word from Liam at the Skullheart forums that all of Marie's animations are fully complete and she is nearing her Early Access phase, already. Time sure flies. As a matter of fact, releasing characters on Mobile first benefitted that. And in other news, the Early Access patch is gonna have the next set of Marie's new palettes. If I don't see her Orie palette, it will stay on my Palette Pack.

Now, since we're approaching the holidays when devs take a break until the New Year, I have a feeling that the Early Access patch is gonna drop later this week and they are preparing for ultimate submission, as in submitting to all three console companies to ultimately release Marie and the general balance changes on all four platforms in the New Year. Then it's off to the independent update where it gives the new characters' Story Modes their full VO and hoping for a Season 2 Pass that might potentially contain Feng, Minette, Venus and Christmas. We don't know for sure if they are the confirmed characters just because they are added to the palette editor, but they are eligible for their BBTAG palettes. I am still expecting a 20th character eligible for their BBTAG palette.

Days of PlayStation Past:

After streaming Crash Team Rumble, my stream quality is good I am officially doing Days of PlayStation Past. It is where I can stream classic PlayStation games released back in the day on the PS1, PS2 and PSP. I have bought couple of PS1 games so far, but not the PS2 games in my library yet. I am getting there.

There, this wraps up today's Joe's Monologues. And with the holidays fast approaching, stay warm and cozy.

My Wrapper: Offline Career

Back in 2014, I was on YouTube perusing videos to watch. I saw a couple of videos where one character watches South Park and got grounded. The animation looked like Family Guy. At the end, the outro showed that it was made by an animation drag and drop platform called GoAnimate, so I went on to the website to check it out. I heard it's gonna help me do something productive, so I purchased the cheapest plan, the GoPlus plan.

I was happy at the way I was making videos. The quality was amazing and videos were all over the place, including my own copyright screen and dream logos, until my GoPlus plan has been expired and it is no longer available due to whatever reasons. After my subscription expired, I went to Google to search for alternatives; the ones that are similar to GoAnimate and free. Little did I know that the alternatives I searched for are nowhere near similar to GoAnimate at all. None of them are not meeting up to my expectations. But in this point of time, I found the perfect alternative that is like GoAnimate and is free. But I'll consider this one.

In October 19, 2015, GoAnimate has shifted from Flash to HTML5, which allows mobile device compatibility, but sadly, non-business themes like Comedy World, which is based on Family Guy were sunset because they weren't compatible with HTML5. The school-safe version called GoAnimate4Schools retained Flash and the non-business themes until back in July 26, 2016 when the non-business themes on the school platform were retired, and two years later, GoAnimate has been renamed to Vyond.

The funny thing about this is that we were blaming Alvin Hung, the former CEO of Vyond because he removed the Oddcast voices and Comedy World and other non-business themes. But I realized that it wasn't Alvin that did this. It was the admins. To blame Alvin for this was just off-base and removing Comedy World is not because they wouldn't get sued by Fox. It's due to the non-business themes not being compatible with HTML5.

After hearing the Oddcast TTS voices and the non-business themes are on the school-safe platform, I was able to sign up there. I was amazed at making videos on it despite the fact that it had no weapons because you know, bringing a weapon to school could get you in trouble. I even started my Eric the GoAnimate Agent series there. I was inspired by Dorkly's Mark the Video Game Agent series to do that. I was also making some Trails of Cold Steel videos on there under both Anime and Comedy World. These types of videos are up to my expectations. But after GoAnimate4Schools migrated from Flash to HTML5 back in July 26, 2016, the series has been discontinued. Not to mention that the VoiceForge and Cepstral voices have been removed and that really ticked us off.

Before that happened, YouTube has a lot of tutorials on how do I still use the non-business themes despite them being sunset. Several videos show that I use Requestly to bring them back. It turned out well and I was able to continue my GoAnimate career because of it. But after the shift to the Vyond-era, Requestly no longer works. I know that there are some people who are making videos on the business themes, but for some others, including myself, that is a wrap for us after how expensive the price is to get a plan on Vyond and a handful of changes the video making website has undergone in the past years, including the shift to HTML5 to sunset the non-business themes.

What things I like about the video making site is that it has gung-ho scenes like victims getting sent to the audience, Suspense playing on videos where troublemakers kill their teacher and get slapped for it. These are the ones that I'm gonna miss experiencing forever since my subscription has been expired. So I made my own copyright and safety message screen as a quiet moment from gung-ho things I mentioned, but it's scrapped for a new one. That applies to that point in time when I was watching the copyright screens and logos on video games.

After I couldn't find an alternative that is similar to GoAnimate and free on that time my plan has expired, I let it go and I went on scrambling for TTS websites (IVONA, Vocalware and Voiceforge) as a memento and experimenting crying voices. They are fun to hear. It was benefitted by missing my video making career. It is really a fun thing to do. The websites are fun to work with when it comes to experimenting. You kind of hear "on" at the end of the same a English American IVONA voices and what not. 

Fast forward to today. I have came across a project, Wrapper: Offline. It is an emulation of the GoAnimate server that has all of the non-business themes that aren't compatible with HTML5 and everything GoAnimate has. And it can't be shut down by Vyond because it is used locally and an internet connection is not required, hence Wrapper: Offline. Practically speaking, a paid subscription is required to make and save videos and with Wrapper: Offline, I can be able to make and save videos 24/7, including the ones that will be reuploads. YouTube has a lot of videos on how do I get it, so what's stopping me?

From what I see, it has all of the TTS voices GoAnimate has and the new ones. I also noticed that the IVONA TTS voices came in two versions, the PO and RL versions, so I set them to hear the difference between them. The main difference is that the RL versions of the English American TTS voices can read same vowels in a single word while the PO versions of them don't. I know RL stands for ReadLoud, but I don't know what PO stands for. The TTS websites were restructured. The IVONA voices came in two versions. Some TTS voices are no longer available in Vocalware. VoiceForge got restructured. There are never before seen voices, like the Acapela and Nuance TTS voices. These voices is gonna give ma the edge I need.

But due to circumstances, since I can't download videos or export videos I made to YouTube on Wrapper: Offline, I am using Bandicam to record videos and I am posting certain videos that have less assets on this laptop I am using while the ones that have more assets will be on my high-end laptop. This is because if I record videos that have more assets on this laptop, there will be any lag on them and my high-end laptop will remedy all of that. So I did and the first video is a reupload of the introduction of a GoAnimate Agent named Eric. I am starting my Eric the GoAnimate Agent series fresh and this time, he will have his own office instead of a principal's office. Until I get a new laptop with better specs, including an insane amount of hertz to make my Steam games run smoothly, I can't go full blast on my career.

But there's something called FlashThemes, which is a throwback to the original GoAnimate that doesn't have any business themes and it's free. I signed up for FlashThemes, but for some reason, my login credentials didn't exist, so I'm gonna stick with Wrapper: Offline.

And while Wrapper: Offline gives me the opportunity to make videos 24/7, I can temporarily suspend my career and still experiment with TTS voices on the websites that were restructured

My career is buttoned up and ready to be put into action and I made a handful of characters from works I like and dislike and never do, so here is a link to my YouTube channel only for Wrapper: Offline videos, KDJ the GoAnimator. 

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmlG3waG8HAacC1tAEdZcSw

I have three subscribers so far, so I need a lot more subscribers so that I can reach 100,000 subscribers to get a silver play button.

Joe's Monologues - 11/26/23

We are nearing the end of November and approaching December and I hope you guys had a wonderful Thanksgiving, just eating that wonderful turkey, getting lethargic and exercising to combat that. It is time for today's episode of Joe's Monologues and this one is gonna be interesting. Let's dive right in.

The Story in SMITE Pro League Season X So Far:

During the course of the SPL Road to Worlds Playoffs, the four teams have been determined and they are the Ferrymen, Leviathans, Warriors and Dragons. These four teams earned their spot at Worlds and we'll see them in Texas. But their seeding has not yet been determined, so in order to determine the seeding, they must finish their matches.

One of the exciting things is that on Game 2 of the match between the Oni Warriors and the Jade Dragons, the only matchup we see often because of Christmas colors, the Dragons were on the verge of getting themselves on the board and momentum was on their side too. But a clutch moment has happened as the Warriors managed to make a comeback after a series of objective steals. It was a clutch moment the Oni Warriors would create and I was flabbergasted to experience that. And for the umpteenth time, the Warriors have beat the Dragons 3-0, courtesy of Pegon, who was right about 3-0'ing the Dragons. And their theme song is fire, by the way and you'll hear it at Worlds because they have qualified.

Moving on to the another interesting moment for that final match of Playoffs, the match between the Styx Ferrymen and the Atlantis Leviathans. Game 4 almost lasted an hour. They were playing tennis in that longest game almost lasted an hour. But the Leviathans managed to finally clutch it out to take us to Game 5. The torture becomes enjoyable and I was shocked about that.

In the end, the seeding has been determined. The Styx Ferrymen are at 1st seed, Atlantis Leviathans are at 2nd seed, Oni Warriors are at 3rd seed and Jade Dragons are at 4th seed for Worlds. They are no doubt going to Arlington, Texas where the Esports Arena is at.

But the road will not stop here because this is part one of the Road to SWC Playoffs so part two will be the SMITE Circuit Playoffs.

Worlds is around the corner and I can't wait until I see who is crowned Season X World Champions. I got the popcorn prepared for the big show, but it's gonna be for Grand Finals. It is like one of the moments I experienced when watching EVO, like when they are crowned champions, smoke and confetti shoot out.

The previous SMITE World Championship felt like WWE because each of the qualified teams have theme songs since it took place at the Esports Arena in Arlington. Even the Camelot Kings theme song sounds so epic and the Tartarus Titans theme song felt like Guilty Gear with its rock cadence. I have a feeling that the upcoming SWC is gonna feel like WWE by playing theme songs for qualified teams and preparing better titantrons for them.

One of the moments that I'll miss the most is when they had SMITE and Paladins esports divided into their sides. It was a best moment back in the day. And now, where it stands, it is no longer the case because Paladins esports has been discontinued back in 2021 due to its shift to its communal and independent structure and approach to cause the stream team and AoC to cease operations. I loved the Paladins Stream Team and its esports, but since they are now sunset, it's for the better, so all eyes on the SMITE Stream Team and esports going forward.

Getting a High-End Computer:

Of course, you know that I'll be getting a high-end computer so that my Steam games can run smoothly. I postponed going full blast on Steam for the same reason. A high-end computer is something I wanted to get and now that I'm almost there, it is happening soon. I'll be looking forward to playing my Steam games on it. But first and foremost, I got to do a stream test to see if my streaming quality is excellent. It should be because a high-end computer has better specs than low-end computers. I am looking for the one that has a good amount of hertz.

Remembering My Time at Capcom-Unity:

I haven't talked about Capcom-Unity for a long time here, but now, here we are. When I first signed up for Capcom-Unity, I came across a user who made wish lists for more vs. Capcom games. I was looking at them. While I was there, I found traces came from a banned user who was discussing MvC3. It became a good riddance because they were annoying and wanting a mode that nobody wants.

I even made friends with those on the general thread where we can talk about whatever we want. I miss the good old days.

And now, here we are. The forums and the user system were sunset and Capcom-Unity becomes a news and updates-only website. It's a new platform that doesn't support the user system. I was able to make a final blog post there before the maintenance started. I will never see the vs. Capcom game blogs ever again since the shift to a new platform doesn't support users and forums. No, we have not been banned from that site because the site made changes to become news and updates only.

All of my blog posts were also deleted on the shift and I can agree because the older ones are no longer reverent to me. Even the vs. game blog posts that I don't want to talk about. But Capcom-Unity, it is now a news and updates-centric site to not support the user system and forums.

Days of PlayStation Past:

I am officially doing some throwback streams where I stream my PlayStation oldies I played back in the day. Sony adds more PlayStation classics every month and November's additions are interesting. The first Grandia for the PS1 and PaRappa the Rapper 2 for the PS2 were added. This is an interesting development that I can agree, even though they are not on my wish list. I have created a gamelist of classic games I played back in the day titled "PlayStation Oldies". I have five of them and they are all first-party, but that is not nearly enough, so I need more of them and third-party games will also be involved. I plan to purchase them so that I can play them 24/7 without a PS Plus Premium membership.

Have you heard of Checkered Past on Adult Swim? The throwback stream is officially called Days of PlayStation Past. The name indicates a series of streaming PlayStation games from back in the day originally released on the PS1, PS2 and PSP and it doesn't have to be just first-party. It can also be both first-party and third-party. PS3, however, will not be part of the throwback stream due to the PS3 games being only available to stream.

SEGA vs. Capcom: The Next Level:

Progress on the fan project is coming along nicely. The UI has been updated and four more characters have been added. There is an interesting development to this. Ikemen GO now supports 3D stages and it's an improvement over 2D stages. The devs have done a great job putting a lot of effort. Justin Wong is even interested in a fan game as I am. He has a video up on YouTube.

Of course, we would experience something that Marvel vs. Capcom offered. I even heard the 1tth and 12th characters are in the works. I wonder who they are. We'll see who they are soon. If you enjoyed Smash and Project X Zone, SEGA vs. Capcom: The Next Level is the way.

Them's Fightin' Herds:

The balance patch for Them's Fightin' Herds dropped a couple days ago and it adds a new mechanic, Armor Break. Certain moves can break through their armor and it's similar to Mortal Kombat 11's Armor Break mechanic. It's a good addition to it. Also, Nidra is still slated to release early next year and she's not the only one because the fourth and final Season 1 Pass character has been revealed in their 8th development update to be Baihe, Tianhuo's dragon sister that is a zoner. In addition, both Nidra and Baihe will drop on the same day.

And they stated on what this means for the future of an animal fighting game. After the Season 1 Pass is complete, they made a difficult decision to cease active development on TFH. This unfortunately means no new content, like the Season 2 Pass will be implemented, including Story Mode. It has been an important mode they have been working on. Chapter 2 starring Velvet is under production, but because they are ceasing development once the Season 1 Pass is completed, Story Mode will remain unfinished forever. Hearing that has disappointed me and the other players and it is no different than Smash Ultimate and other fighting games that are not getting new content.

I am sorry that Story Mode is gonna remain unfinished forever since they are ceasing development on the game after completing the Season 1 Pass despite them being a part of Modus. They shouldn't be ceasing development when Story Mode is unfinished. I am glad the active development of Skullgirls is continuing for years to come. It is not ceasing development anytime soon. Especially when I wanted crossplay, the Season 2 Pass and CPU vs. CPU battles to be implemented. It's something that SEGA vs. Capcom: The Next Level would embrace.

Super Mario RPG:

And finally, I'm gonna talk about the remake of an SNES release called Super Mario RPG. It is the very first RPG set in the Mario universe. It's the same game, but it got a remake on the Switch. The game was good. The story has insanely cinematic cutscenes and the combat possibilities are endless. For some reason, it feels like Honkai: Star Rail, but with Mario in terms of how RPGs go, but I was able to beat Super Mario RPG. I can see how Square Enix teamed up with Nintendo to remake the SNES classic.

It is the first RPG in the Mario universe, yes, but you know what I want in the second one? Have all five characters in a party and have elements inspired by Blue Dragon -- remember that RPG game I played on the Xbox 360? And Honkai: Star Rail, with each of the characters' Ultimate Attack and their own FP.

And this wraps up today's episode of Joe's Monologues and wow, there was a lot I had to talk about. This format is better, so I'm gonna use this format for the rest of the episodes going forward.

Joe's Monologues - 11/15/23

We are approaching the end of 2023 and headed towards 2024. It's time for the next iteration of Joe's Monologues, so marvel in as I monologue what's happening.

Did you like the previous Skullgirls X BBTAG updates? What makes it special is that I added Minette, Feng, Venus and Christmas to my projects because they are eligible for their BBTAG palettes to be legal during my online casual I postponed planning, along with going full blast also on Steam when Marie comes out until I get a new high-end laptop. I hope you like them because they are coming along real nicely to become even more of a masterpiece. I am just one character away from hitting the 20th character on my projects.

But that's not the only thing I am monologing. I want to talk about a platform-based fighting game I enjoyed playing, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2. It is a sequel and a huge improvement that kills every problem Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 1 created.

There are several problems in All-Star Brawl 1. At the launch of the first installment, voice acting couldn't be implemented, which was the worst problem that was actually solved by implementing voice acting on a later patch. The Ready to Fight! sign you see in Smash Bros. games blocked most of the character portraits, making it harder to see where the player tokens are when it comes to changing the CPUs' characters. The gameplay feels dull and it's not completely in tandem with Smash standards. It's because it lacks shielding and uses a rock-paper-scissors mechanic that became a huge pain. Even my rule settings are not saving. That's how it got a 7 in IGN. It ended up with 25 characters after all three DLC characters were released in the first Season Pass and a second one didn't get greenlit.

But in All-Star Brawl 2, it is not the case because it launched with better voice acting, gameplay is greatly refined, the rock-paper-scissors mechanic is retired in favor of shields, my rule settings are saved and the Slime mechanic is an interesting touch. The Slime meter uses three bars and draws inspiration from Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and Guilty Gear with bursts, cancels, EX special moves and cinematic Ultimate Attacks. They are so insane. Even April O'Neal's is really anime because it's a Spirit Bomb Ultimate Attack and I had to fall in love with her, like when Mightykeef fell in love with March 7th in that anticipated Honkai: Star Rail skit I desired. Also, check out TMNT: Mutant Mayhem. You're gonna enjoy it.

It started out with 25 characters at launch, but more characters are on their way and they are slated to release throughout 2024. There is a first patch being developed and it has a lot of changes based on their feedback, including adding the announcer voice lines during gameplay, which I don't understand. You know what change I want? If they make the CPU use their Slime meter more often in higher difficulties. Sadly, the characters from the first game didn't make it and got cut, including the Shredder, the iconic villain of the TMNT franchise seen at the end of TMNT: Mutant Mayhem to create a cliffhanger. But Rocksteady is in the Season Pass along with Mr. Krabs, Zuko and Iroh.

I got to hand it to Fair Play Labs for knocking Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 out of the park by solving every single problem the first one created. I also heard that it is nominated for best fighting game at this year's upcoming Game Awards. I know it may not be Game of the Year, but we'll see which game earns the Game of the Year title. I plan to get it also on the Switch so that I can play it on the go on longer car trips like I did with Team Sonic Racing. And if I can be able to get the gist of what's going on, it's the lore.

And now, with that out of the way, it's time to talk about what has been many days since the sunset of something called the Paladins Stream Team. It was created back in 2016 and it refreshes the list of Stream Team members every year. And now, where it stands, the Paladins Stream Team has been officially been sunset on that day Halloween starts after seven years. This is due to the fact that Paladins is shifting to a more communal and independent approach to benefit making Paladins the best game it can be. I am sad that it had to be defunct along with AoC and the Switch port, but it's for the better. There is a next update in the works and it's unclear that Update Shows will still be aired or not on Paladins' Twitch channel. We'll see.

But the SMITE Stream Team is still ongoing and it's highly likely to still be supported for many years to come along with the Switch port and the Olympians, so all eyes on that. The SMITE World Championship is approaching. The regular phase is finished with the Gilded Gladiators' part in finally getting a win. However, that is not enough to get them to the Playoffs because only the top three teams on each division can earn their spot at the SWC Playoffs. This means that Gladiators, along with the Eldritch Hounds, will not be able to make it. Well, they are rookies, so it makes sense for them to be trash.

Well, it looks like I have reached the end of this episode of Joe's Monologues. There is nothing left to talk about at this moment.

SG X BBTAG Update #6

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the Skullgirls X BBTAG update series. In the last update, I shown you how my projects are becoming a masterpiece even more after I added Feng, Minette and Venus and shown you Christmas in her Yuzuriha palette as a surprise. And now, we're moving on to this next update of the series, so let's dive right in.

Before Crossplay:

After Crossplay:

We'll start with the elephant in the room, which is my Discord server's banner art. Christmas is now added to even out the number of characters facing Marie. I also fixed some of the errors on few palettes that were colored wrongly, as well as the quality of Feng, Minette and Christmas, adjusted the position and updated Marie's picture to her new one, which is better than the other one and shows that she is unleashing her EXS without the Skull Heart and that's the fun beauty of her Orie palette. You'll see them in later projects.

I told everyone on X that I am planning to make another Twitch channel that will be focused on streaming only Skullgirls during my special online casual where we are restricted to playing these characters you are seeing on my splash art, including Feng, Minette, Venus and Christmas, who are not yet playable, but they deserved to be on there because they have been added to the palette editor two weeks ago and all four of them are eligible for their BBTAG palettes to be legal. For this, here is my separate channel's offline screen that will also be updated when more characters get added to the palette editor and existing characters' images get updated in parallel with my Discord server's banner art.

I originally stated that I would go full blast also on Steam, which my online casual will take place on once Marie is released. My Discord server is buttoned up and ready to be shared, but unfortunately, there has been a change of plans. After looking at the specs on my laptop I'm using, I learned that they are not good enough for my Steam games to run smoothly. Because of this, I will no longer think that I'm gonna go full blast also on Steam once Marie is fully released and I will be postponing planning my own online casual until I get a high-end laptop with better specs and a good amount of hertz.

Remember what 1smash18 said that he needed a new high-end computer with better specs so that his Steam games can run smoothly? Well, I'm doing the same thing, by getting a new high-end laptop with better specs so that my Steam games can run smoothly.

By the way, there is a delicious surprise Beowulf, Parasoul, Annie, Umbrella, Cerebella and Feng in their Kanji, Mitsuru, Izayoi, Platinum, Mika and Chie palettes on the left side are holding on the play...

During BBTAG 2.0:

During BBTAG 3.0:

In both periods, Christmas in Yuzuriha's colors is located after Double in Merkava's colors and before Squigly in Hilda's colors and the Under Night In-Birth row is now left with one empty space now located in the middle, which will be for Aeon's Vatista palette. Now, seven characters are eligible for their UNI palettes.

During BBTAG 2.0:

During BBTAG 3.0:

If Christmas doesn't get her Yuzuriha palette, it will stay on my palette pack on both periods. Same with Minette, Feng and Venus' Minette Chie and Linne palettes.

On my fanmade character select screen, the characters' portraits on the bottom row are rearranged while the ones on the top are also rearranged as Marie is no longer on the top row and middle column after adding Christmas to it on the upper right hand corner. This placement lasts until the 20th character is on there.

As I added Minette, Feng, Venus and Christmas to my projects, I am nearing the 20th character eligible for their BBTAG palette on this one and my other projects that are becoming even more of a masterpiece. But please be aware that their portraits and the placement of them on this graphic above are not final and will change. But one interesting thing will stay, though.

If you look at the icon on Minette's apron colored red during the process of making her a Celica palette, you'll notice that it is now has colors to match the pantones of her apron, arms and skirt.

What makes it crazy is that one of the members of the Last Hope became eligible for their BBTAG palette and that is Christmas and making a Yuzuriha palette out of her is the cherry on top. I feel like that if she becomes playable, she might play like her. A blade in her hand; no mistaking it.

A little announcement, Marie's Alpha has dropped last week and came with full voice acting, her stage and all of her moves since she is developed further after she gets released on Mobile first, like with Annie. Except that Marie launched with few sketchy frames and a partial set of palettes during her Alpha. If any of you own the Season 1 Pass on Steam, you'll gain access to Marie's Alpha and she will be available separately on her Early Access Beta phase, which will begin when all of her frames are completed.

Originally, Marie was supposed to release on December. Development on Marie is continuing along, but apparently, due to circumstances, she is no longer being slated to release in December. All of Marie's sketchy frames take a while for them to be completed and her art won't be finalized before then, so it's most likely that Marie is slated to release in early 2024, along with Nidra, the third character in the Them's Fightin' Herds Season 1 Pass, to also be slated to release in early 2024. Unless if they get a lot more developers to join the team, of course.

But Marie is not the only thing coming because the general balance pass is also in the works to make the whole cast the best it can be.

The only thing about this is that since 2nd Encore and the Season 1 Pass are available on all three console versions, Marie and all of her bells and whistles, like her Story Mode and a finalized set of balance changes for the rest of the cast will be submitted to all three console platforms.

It has been a long road and a wild ride for Skullgirls, man. It started out with eight characters in the original roster. Then six more characters expanded the roster to 14 during the Indiegogo period, which established a launch roster for 2nd Encore. And now, here we are. Four more characters expanded the roster to 18 during the Season 1 Pass period and Marie is in development. And once she is fully released on all four platforms, the Season 1 Pass period is over and Justice Sword, Active Angel, Walpurgisnacht and Purity & Strictly will be played to the "true" max on all four platforms. After that, it's off to waiting for an update that gives the new characters' Story Mode their full voice over and hoping for a Season 2 Pass and crossplay. 

I am also waiting for the next update for Skullgirls Mobile, which makes Marie completely available to be acquirable from all Standard Relics I've been hording until then and get her Prize Fight available. It's interesting that Marie is the final boss and was freed from all influence after destroying the Skull Heart without hitting her to become a playable fighter. But we can still fight her boss version on Arcade Mode and certain challenges, but not on her Story Mode because like Xblaze and others, it will be a visual novel to entail her past life and how she gained control of the Skull Heart.

I will never forget the fact that all four Season 1 Pass characters have all been eligible for their BBTAG palettes, consisting of three BlazBlue palettes and one Under Night In-Birth palette. It is clean as crap for these characters to be eligible for my special online casual I postponed planning until I get a gaming laptop with a good amount of hertz.

In conclusion, with Minette, Feng, Venus and Christmas added to my projects as they are eligible for their BBTAG palettes of Celica, Feng, Linne and Yuzuriha above, I am nearing the 20th character eligible for their BBTAG palette. This should (hopefully) be the last update before I have the 20th BBTAG palette. I hope it is either for a male character, like Taliesin's Tohru Adachi palette, Yu Wan's Jubei palette or Hubrecht's Azrael palette or for Aeon's Vatista palette to fill out the UNI row.

Joe's Monologues - 10/17/23

We are halfway through October and Halloween is around the corner, so get ready for some bone chilling and spooky moments looming as I start the next Joe's Monologues, which the series will be named going forward. But don't worry. What do I have to monologue on will not be scary, I promise.

First off, regarding my Wrapper: Offline career. I am starting my career as a GoAnimator soon because I was able to get the VoiceForge and Ivona voices working again thanks to the video that explains how do I get them working again. I shared my roadmap of new videos on YouTube divided into three sections below.

Planned Videos in Development - Videos that are slated to be uploaded soon.

Planned Videos on Reserve - Videos that are put on pause until further notice.

Planned Videos in Concept - Videos that are on the verge of being explored, but likely won't happen until confirmation.

It was just the rough first pass and I'll be posting my updated roadmap soon.

Of course, my career might hit some roadblocks, but not frequently. I am looking forward to start my GoAnimate career fresh. Now, in case if you guys are wondering, I won't be uploading new Wrapper: Offline videos on my main channel, which is now reset to start fresh. I'll be uploading new videos on my separate new channel because I want to start fresh. A link to it will be posted soon.

I am on the source of developing my Wrapper: Offline avatar and studio and I am down to the final stage of development as I was able to get the VoiceForge and Ivona TTS voices working again. I am also still on the source of creating a handful of characters that are based on my interests in my life. When I say based on my interests in my life, I mean I make a handful of characters from video games, TV shows, movies. YouTube channels I'm following and other works.

Look, what I'm trying to say is the GoAnimate community is so vast and connected. I'm sure TTS voices will be working. Especially when making your own copyright and safety message screens. I like those things since my inception of playing 6th generation era games. Even the ones in games by THQ, the American toy company turned video game company that had to file a Chapter 11 bankruptcy after series of stock drops, financial struggles and debt.

I would like to give a shoutout to one of my favorite GoAnimators named MumaX992. He became the source of inspiring me of making characters from TV shows, movies, video games and other works and videos that are on my list of ideas. And now, he's back because Wrapper: Offline can restore the GoAnimate community. I look forward to watching his new videos. But he confirmed that he will be uploading new videos on a new separate channel because it's to start fresh.

And any of you fans enjoyed Sonic Frontiers' Final Horizon update? The update is amazing. All of Sonic's friends each not only have a BGM, but also their own skill tree and skill points. The only thing about this is that if you're playing as Sonic, the BGM for Ouranos Island plays while he has access to using keys to open portals, but not when you're playing as Amy, Knuckles and Tails because they each have their own BGM while they don't have access to using keys to open portals and this is something that also makes Sonic Frontiers truly Spyro: Year of the Dragon, and they are all catchy. I was even having trouble clearing Snake's Trial, until I thought of a way to beat it. I Cycloop around the enemy, and press square two times and circle before the shield drops. The Titan Rush trial wasn't frustrating because if I Quick Cycloop them, their defense is significantly decreased and they are on the ropes during that state.

Honestly, I feel calm when listening to Amy's theme because I can see how retiring to Los Angeles has its perks since I heard the layout of GTA V's Los Santos, Sonic Unleashed's Spagonia and Skullgirls' New Meridian drew inspiration there, considering the Boardwalk and the Wonder Wharf drew inspiration from the one in the Santa Monica Pier, knowing Active Angel became a perfect fit.

Now I'm one progress away from beating the new story, which is beating The End. However, there's a cable the fake moon bears and it quickly regenerates The End's HP. I need to figure a way to sever that cable...

I know Toys for Bob is working on Crash Team Rumble, but I would like a new story for Spyro: Year of the Dragon where I can freely switch between Spyro and his four friends that each come with their own BGM in their perspective.

Now, I want to tell you about the drama I have experienced over on YouTube. This is regarding cyberbullying. If you don't know what is cyberbullying, it is harassing users online, by recording them and posting on YouTube. I want to make videos out of pedophiles because they deserved it for traumatizing and kidnapping children, but I was told that it is considered cyberbullying as reporting them to the authorities is legit. How is making videos out of pedophiles is cyberbullying? Making parodies about them is the way to get them terminated.

I'm gonna tell you how pedophiles are extremely dangerous. They are adults who conduct sex towards childiren, like stripping them. This is the worst criminal offense and doing so will cause fans to hate you forever because once exposed as a pedophile, game over. They don't deserve forgiveness, a second chance or rehabilitation for kidnapping and traumatizing children. They deserve bad karma, consisting of getting their accounts terminated, jail time and mistreatment. Making videos out of them is considered bad karma, not cyberbullying. And I don't know if you know this, but it's intense.

But hey, you know what's intense? The way Mightykeef, my favorite YouTuber makes his skits. Even the one about how Mortal Kombat 1 plays on the Switch. I was intrigued at the graphics on the Switch version. It made it look like a PS2 game. No wonder there isn't that much players of the FGC plays Mortal Kombat 1 on the Switch. Fortunately, they pushed out a patch that improves performance on the Switch version, as well as implementing access to Season 1 of Invasions.

The one about Mortal Kombat 1 isn't the only thing that is intense. The Naraka: Bladepoint skit is up. He shown those guys that he is not trash. At the beginning, mentioning Naraka sounds like a villain from Inuyasha. I know it sounds far-fetched, but it's a melee weapon-centric battle royale. The skit about it is intense that I'm hearing weird voices over the game screen. It's kind of a technicality, yes.

You know what I like to see uploaded on Mightykeef's channel? About how he feels playing Honkai: Star Rail for the first time. There is a skit about buying characters on Genshin Impact with real money, so I want to see a Honkai: Star Rail skit get uploaded in response to its release on PS5, as well as its battle system reminding me of Xenosaga. Remember that game?

Thanks for listening and that's all I have to say. I hope you guys have a wonderful day. And remember, with Halloween fast approaching, you're in for a spooky blockbuster.

SG X BBTAG Update #5 + Special Surprise

Welcome to the 5th standalone update for Skullgirls X BBTAG and this one proves that I'm not done with making BBTAG palettes out of Skullgirls characters because they added more sprites to the palette editor under the custom section. And I have a special surprise that you will see later on.

Before we dive right in, on the previous update, my projects have become a masterpiece now that I have a final picture of Marie in Orie's colors and I have a new collage that has more empty slots and that's why the previous one is not the final one and there will be more of them you are about to see, along with a special surprise. Now, on to the update.

You guessed it. Minette, Feng and Venus have been recently added to the palette editor under the custom section and I made Celica, Chie and Linne palettes out of these characters above as a cherry on top. They became eligible for them because Crystal Forest, Like the Dragon and Night Walker are the themes that fit perfectly well with them.

You are wondering why Marie is no longer in the middle. After some thought, I learned about the placement that contains Marie in the middle of this collage. It didn't meet up with my standards and putting her in the middle didn't turn out well despite being the Skullgirl. It's because putting her in the middle affected the size of the top and bottom characters in the middle. As a result, I put her after Black Dahlia in Nine's colors and it is the best bet. But that's not all. This collage is starting to become a masterpiece even more after putting Minette, Feng and Venus on there.

BBTAG 2.0:

BBTAG 3.0:

The graphic during the BBTAG 3.0 period is coming along nicely as the BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena rows have been filled out. On both periods, Minette in Celica A. Mercury's colors is located after Annie in Izayoi's colors and before Black Dahlia in Nine the Phantom's colors, Feng in Chie Satonaka's colors is located before Beowulf in Kanji Tatsumi's colors and Venus in Linne's colors is located before Marie in Orie's colors to match the order of character introduction on each universe.

BBTAG 2.0:

BBTAG 3.0:

Still the same placement for the three additional characters. If their Celica, Chie and Linne palettes don't make it to 2nd Encore, they will stay on my palette pack.

I told you that the characters on this Discord server's banner art must be smaller and positioned to fit more characters, so I made them a bit smaller and positioned them to make room for Minette, Feng and Venus. They deserve to be up there because they are assigned to BBTAG character themes that fit perfectly well with their personality to be eligible for their BBTAG palette and a ticket to my special online casual. On the left side, Feng is spotted while on the right side, Minette and Venus are spotted. Now this is starting to become even more of a masterpiece.

And finally, the portraits on my fanmade character select screen were made a bit smaller to fit Feng, Minette and Venus' portraits located on the bottom row. This matches the placement in the character select screen in 2nd Encore that will take place once Marie hits Alpha and beyond, hoping we get word about it soon now that she is released on Mobile. The random selection has a ? mark and it's because importing own fonts on Canva no longer requires Pro.

All of my projects are becoming a masterpiece even more after putting Feng, Minette and Venus on them. But please be aware that their images are previews to show how fly they are in their Minette, Chie and Linne palettes and they will be replaced with final ones once they are released on Mobile. If they make it to the Season 2 Pass, I'll be hyped for that because I need at least one character eligible for their BBTAG palette in it. This goes to show that I am not done with my endeavor yet. It must go on until the end.

Alright, everyone, are you ready for a big surprise? Feast your eyes on this!

Surprise! Christmas, one of the members of the Last Hope, have also been added to the palette editor under the custom section. I made her a Yuzuriha palette as a cherry on top because if she becomes playable, I feel like that she might fight like her considering that she is spotted in the River King Casino. If anyone asks if I'm gonna put Christmas in Yuzuriha's colors on my projects and what BBTAG character theme she will be assigned to, I will do that and you'll find out soon. This is just part one of the Skullgirls X BBTAG update series.

Doing so is the fact that I love making BBTAG palettes out of Skullgirls characters to promote the launch party and I am so glad that controversial censorship update didn't stop me from doing so. So yeah, it's possible for me to actually make Celica, Chie, Linne and Yuzuriha palettes out of all four characters that have been added to the palette editor. I can see why palettes depicting characters from other universes is the best bet. I would like to see a male character get added to the palette editor.
