@KorvinStarmast Bellingcat's preliminary analysis suggests that the video was taken near the mishap site

@KorvinStarmast and yeah. massive breakdowns of common sense within air defense units are not a new phenomenon, sadly :/

Also if it was a mistaken launch or hit the wrong target that would explain the frantic "nope definitely a mechanical failure" talk they seem to be keeping to last i heard

Like they would even know that

I mean, if I was accused of launching a missile i didn't launch, i wouldn't bother to conjecture what actually brought the plane down

But I'm no expert

But seeing as they have no reason to believe so strongly that mechanical failure was the exact cause it kinda reads like embarrassed ashamed guilt to me

Like it was accidentall but was one of thier missiles

I mean, keeping in mind that I'm not an expert here, but planes could crash because of drunk pilots or terrorists on the plane too, mechanical failure and missiles are not the only two possible causes (IE my point is they were awful quick to blame mechanical failure with no ongoing investigation first)

:/

But i also don't believe they had any reason to attack that plane on purpose

so, @trogdor .... apparently there was a leak about a new Megaman ZX game.

current codename: Megaman ZX-HG

Supposedly, this should be a wip artwork of the new model ZS...

@Derpy wat

@trogdor what? Don't believe me? This is a totally legitimate leaked artwork, so please ignore the weird feeling that you already saw that face somewhere.

that is weird

@Ash I guess... "Alexa, please order another bottle of soap"

it's more the hair and the outfit though

@trogdor I don't know what you are talking about

yeah of course you don't because you never talked with me about the Shantae games at all

:P

Next thing, you will tell me that the new design looks like a belly dancer

noooooo of course not

@Derpy shantae snuck into megaman

lol

like,... she even has a jacket like shantaes jacket

and earrings

XD

it seems pretty blatant

@trogdor since when did Shantae wear a jacket?

she does though

it's like, a really small one

you see the red top part? that's what I mean

she at the very least has one as I recall in Pirates Curse

maybe not in Half Genie Hero

or possibly it's only in Risky's Revenge?

I just know she had like, a small jacket on in at least one of the games

@trogdor nope, you are right.... there is the small jacket in Pirate Curse

ah ok

I do think they got rid of it in Half Genie Hero

in fact I think I was mildly upset by it because I actually thought the jacket was cool

but wtv

@trogdor she only had that in Pirate Curse

ah fair enough

must have been the whole pirate thing

yep, but I also checked

Oddly enough, she had that from the start of the game

I thought they could have slightly altered her look after the curse-thing, but that doesn't seem the case

Also, tinkerbat do not wear jackets - I checked.

so it probably was just a generic pirate thing and not a reference to a specific character.

I think they only changed her look with abilities

Like when she uses the pirate pistol or the hat or the sword or the boots

I think she even gets a pirate bandana but she only wears it when you use one of the pirate items?

I scrolled up to the image and thought that was some kind of crossover fanart.

Yeah

That's what it looks like right?

I thought it was a joke

Maybe the S in ZS stands for Shantae.

Not the art itself Maybe but the fact that derpy linked it

I don't think that protects them from copyright XD

@trogdor yep it was a joke, but I wouldn't mind getting another costume dlc for Half Genie with that design to be honest

at least it seems that Cinderace will actually Laharl-Gigantamax

Lol

well, first thing I though was "oh, nice, that is Laharl's Meteor Impact"

sadly, the artwork seems to imply that Cinderace will kick the fireball instead of riding it all the time.

That's a pity.

And since they're doing DLC instead of a mid-generation expanded version, Inteleon-Gigantamax will represent Pokemon G U N.

oh god

pew pew
