so apparently the idea behind Zygarde's very random forms is that it was originally supposed to have TWO 100% forms, one to counter Xerneas and one to counter Yveltal (source)

The Xerneas counter would be a wolf (which became the 10% form), because wolves hunt deer

The Yveltal counter would be a humanoid anti-aircraft gun (which became the 100% form) because it flies

It's signature moves, Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves, were meant to be assigned to each 100% form as a counter

Thousand Arrows works as a smack-down like move to deal with Yvetal as a nod to the anti-aircraft gun thing

Thousand Waves is a trapping move to deal with Xerneas as a nod to how wolves are used for hunting and trapping deer

officially-cool youtuber Tech Tangents was working on an old Tandy machine and discovered the most hilarious quit menu in all of software, buried in an obscure astrology program for DOS:

THE "MAYBE QUIT" OPTION!

For too long, computer programs have been asking if we're sure we want to quit, and only giving us a binary yes/no option. Finally we can leave whether we quit or not up to fate.

And yeah. When he tried it out, it failed to quit a few times and then quit. It seems it just flips a coin when you select it and either quits/does nothing based on it.

The 1990s are remembered as the decade of the first-person shooter, not without reason, but it's difficult to convey just how omnipresent shitty 1v1 fighting games were at the time. Shitty 1v1 fighting games were to the 1990s as shitty action roguelites are to the 2020s. There was a fighting game where everybody was a dinosaur and they somehow made it suck.
