17:03	Teruna	question: how the hell does Raiden grab his sword with his feet like that
17:03	Kiri	funnily enough that's gone into in MGS4
17:03	Kiri	you know how things like chameleons can just kinda cling to shit with their feet
17:04	Teruna	yeah?
17:05	Kiri	Vaander Wals force or something like that, check spelling, is the principal in play there where an unbelievable assload of microscopic hairs that allow a distribution of weight and forces allowing them to climb all over vertical surfaces or even upside-down
17:05	Kiri	that was used a lot by the Frog unit in MGS4 which were lady supersoldiers who climbed on walls with combat boots that used that
17:06	Kiri	Raiden has both that and a really complex minor magnetic force thing whatever in both his feet that lets him do shit like his ninja run as well as the swordfeeting.
17:06	Kiri	it was in MGS4, Rising is literally just you playing as that unbelievable badass you saw in play there but you couldn't be him because you were too busy being an old man
17:07	Kiri	so just bear in mind that basically none of this was Platinum Games making shit up about Raiden.
17:07	Kiri	this was them having fun with a character that was already their level of ridiculous.
17:08	Kiri	No, that's not what is going on with Bayonetta's footguns, feetswords or legrockets
17:08	Kiri	that's just Bayonetta being Bayonetta.
17:12	Kiri	Kojima basically writes by hitting the random page button on Wikipedia, reading the first three lines of the article that comes up and if he says 'that's neat' he immediately goes to find a place to shove it in whatever he's doing
17:13	Kiri	and that's how you get shit like wallwalking supersoldiers with unnecessarily well-pronounced boob-latex.
17:20	Teruna	kind of a shame this isn't something that could be adapted to a Fire Emblem unit, the swordfeet thing is fucking badass as hell
17:36	Teruna	actually, that would almost be an excuse to have Ann as Thunder-element
17:36	Teruna	it would let me bullshit a reason for that to be a thing
18:04	Teruna	I mean shit, I dunno how much scientific knowledge is present in the Fire Emblem series
18:04	Teruna	for some reason I just kinda envision it's really spotty and weird because you can make electricity on the spot with Thunder magic
18:05	Teruna	but they're sitting her like "okay, we know electricity can do these things, now how the fuck do we get it to work without a mage standing there 24/7"
18:07	Teruna	I know that science is a thing that happens because that was kinda Miriel's thing in the epilogue of Awakening
18:09	Kiri	it's unclear
18:15	Teruna	so for all I know Sierra could just do really fancy enchanting shit with some iron plating on the bottom of her boots and make them magnetic
18:15	Kiri	Jay would probably deny any and all attempts to turn FETT into MGRTT
18:16	Kiri	and not just because it's harder to pronounce
18:16	Kiri	jsut saying
18:16	Teruna	:c
