Edit 2; The tournament has officially concluded! Thanks for your participation, I will still be using this blog for helping spread other tournaments, and also posting cringe
Welcome one and all, to the most ambitious tournament probably so far (that is to say, I chose way too many characters but in my defense I had found a blank template for a smash bros character roster thing and wanted to fill the whole thing up, even if I had to turn to the dark side to do so for one or two picks): The 2023 Himboff!
Round 1 Part 1 will begin on Friday, hopefully giving everyone enough time to prepare themselves for battle (I describe this as if it's a war and not a tumblr pollnament-).
EDIT: Yes I am being told that I may have included characters who may not fit the himbo criteria perfectly but in my defense i am not in every fandom and my research consisted of furious googling so if google lied to me then blame that

Man I hope enough people pay attention to veteran Xenoblade players waving flags everywhere saying "X is different!!!! Don't expect it to be like/connect to 123!!"
because if I have to hear the "The next Xenoblade game should star Mythra's kid and Malos 2 going on an adventure to reunite Noah and Mio" Guys say a single word about the lore not fitting I am going to commit an arson

That...was it?
I mean, yeah, I probably should've expected it to end in a "adventure continues in SXSG" but that was very abrupt.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
GUN, Rouge and Omega know there's something big coming, but just fuck off after this? There's no glimpse of what awaits Shadow? No real cliffhanger, it just stops? This wasn't satisfying.
It started with "Black Doom might be back I have to get to the ARK" and ended with "Black Doom might be back I'm on my way to the ARK." I stopped to look at the timer near the end because I was like "wait it's just gonna end here? We watched a travel animation?"
Maybe this is because I haven't been following SXSG super closely, but I don't understand how Shadow's campaign is going to start so I have no context for how this leads into the game. That's probably partly why it feels so abrupt right now.
I liked the music and action scenes, though I thought some lines should've been cut.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like this is pretty obvious, but it keeps going.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The scene would've been better had this line been cut. Same thing happens in part 2.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sometimes, silence speaks volumes. But of course, everything needs to be "spelled out" though that's an issue with the Maria scenes in general.
Man this shot of Shadow though with that music swelling, holy cow.
Tumblr media
Hits you in the feels.
Overall though, it was okay!
My biggest compliment really goes to the sound design. I just love how the music and sound effects come together. Also really enjoy how snappy the animation is. By part 3 I definitely was able to tell I was looking at 3D models, but honestly I don't really care which medium it is as long as it's done well. This looked good!
Writing wise, I think part 1 was the worst and that's due to the stiff, on-the-nose interactions between Shadow and Maria (plus the slip-in of "low-gravity remission"). I definitely preferred the action scenes and interactions with Rouge, sadly Omega was just kinda there in the corner like "I CALL DIBS" and didn't contribute anything noteworthy.
I said this about Xenoblade 3 and it rings true here: this felt like watching a draft rather than a finished script. Some parts are cooked and others are raw. If Omega had nothing to do but blow a few things up in the background, why was he here? Even Shadow was the one to take down the GUN ship Omega originally engaged. Give him a bigger purpose or cut him.
The Maria scenes play out the most like a draft, something you'd write to get the basics of what you want the characters to convey before going back over and replacing those lines with actual dialogue. (This is something I do if I'm struggling.)
Now do I really care that the GUN Commander got his Archie name? No. Of all the things in this animation, Sonic Twitter picked the stupidest one to blow up about. I think the "low gravity remission" and Shadow knowing he's part alien is an actual issue. (Although I guess this could be argued since in ShTH he still had amnesia, he wouldn't remember so this wouldn't matter. Still, wasn't it supposed to be a secret? The Commander only found out by accident?)
Some things just aren't as well thought-out as others, which cements my thought that this script needed polishing.
All that said, this is the biggest promo animation project we've seen in Sonic yet and it's quite different from others before it. I don't think I'd call it "the best", I think the Frontiers one was super cool, but it also didn't have the run-time of Dark Beginnings. Like with XC3: Future Redeemed, it simply didn't have the time to screw stuff up as much.
There's good, there's ehh, so overall Dark Beginnings was just okay for me.
My biggest disappointment is still the fact that this animation simply wasn't what I wanted, which isn't its fault. I saw the teaser of Shadow and Maria on the ARK, I thought it was going to be about them on the ARK and it ended up just being about Shadow traveling to space. I wanted and was expecting something this animation was never going to be.
I guess we'll find out soon how the final game handles Shadow's story, though if this animation is anything to go off of, I'm keeping my expectations in check.

I like to think that Addam was shown in his cloak in the main game flashbacks because he insisted he wore it the whole adventure & Malos destroyed it
Rather than admitting he lost it right at the start :x

As of May 2024, eleven years post-launch, the Wii U continues to have the following quality exclusives:
Affordable Space Adventures (requires homebrew)
Dr. Luigi (requires homebrew)
Game & Wario
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
Mario Party 10
Nintendo Land
Paper Mario: Color Splash
Pushmo World (requires homebrew)
Splatoon
Star Fox Guard
Star Fox Zero
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
Wii Fit U
Wii Party U
Xenoblade Chronicles X
And outside of the eShop releases and Splatoon, these games are hardly “trapped” on their console. For example, in spite of rereleases (or being rereleases themselves), the Wii U also continues to have the superior versions of the following quality games:
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
LEGO City Undercover
NES Remix 1 and 2 (requires homebrew)
New Super Mario Bros. U (debatably)
Rayman Legends
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
Wii Sports
Yoshi’s Woolly World (debatably)
Rayman Legends is most damning of all, given that it was the poster child of the Wii U’s fall from grace among hardcore gamers. None of its myriad ports have successfully replicated the appeal of its unique and top-notch multiplayer on Wii U.
Even games I deliberately skipped here, like Captain Toad, Sonic Lost World, and Pikmin 3, make clear and significant trade-offs to ditch the GamePad in subsequent ports. One of the best games of the past decade and arguably all time, Breath of The Wild, is also a special case - it got gutted to reach parity with the Switch version.
It was a good console. Deal with it.
