Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

When a train is trying to run you over, here are some simple tips to keep you safe: 1. Run along the tracks. If you run of of them, you'll hurt the train's feelings. 2. Throw shurikens at it. Trains hate shurikens. 3. Become invisible. Train's vision is their greatest strength. 4. If all else fails, just grab it by the cow catcher and suplex it.

[–]VacantThoughts 33 points34 points ago

If that all fails, use a phoenix down on it. Instant win.

[–]adidasaids 1 point2 points ago

hell yeah, or cast life2 or any other cure spell for damage on the undead.

[–]Fliff42 13 points14 points ago

10/10 would suplex.

[–]Lunawyn 79 points80 points ago

[–]Real_Tetraoxygen 13 points14 points ago

[–]njdss4 2 points3 points ago

I feel like it's a right of passage to suplex that fucking train.

[–]MY_LITTLE_ORIFICE 0 points1 point ago

psst... rite*...

[–]njdss4 0 points1 point ago

Thanks. I almost missed a huge mistake their.

[–]MY_LITTLE_ORIFICE 1 point2 points ago

Oh you.

[–]nopurposeflour 0 points1 point ago

I love how the train carried a tent X1.

[–]BrandoTheNinjaMaster 28 points29 points ago

Wait, shouldn't Shadow and Cyan be with Sabin when you fight the Phantom Train?

[–]Eji1700 15 points16 points ago

Shadow can leave your part before you get to the forest maze if you get unlucky. Once you enter the forest he'll stay for the fight, but if you waste any time outside or the RNG hates you you'll have to go through the train Ninjaless.

[–]ZeroGear9513 1 point2 points ago

You can also have a ghost join you from the first car I think. I don't remember if he leaves you before hand or not.

[–]Tret_Aracks 1 point2 points ago

and if you don't have shadow you can get 2 ghosts.

[–]ZeroGear9513 0 points1 point ago

Wow. Didn't know that. I wonder if my friend knew...

[–]doombot813 13 points14 points ago

Yeah, what's Edgar doing there?

[–]Smogs 15 points16 points ago

Locke is also there and shouldn't be as he's in South Figaro trying to get in Celes' pants.

[–]proboscislounge 14 points15 points ago

and you don't select blitzes. it ain't even like dat.

[–]mateogg 0 points1 point ago

Despite appearences, Locke is a gentleman. He had nothing but her best interests in mind.

[–]Sawdust_Prophet 50 points51 points ago

[–]Tim_Kaiser 8 points9 points ago

I like how I go to Tumblr so rarely that I don't even know I'm following awesome people already.

[–]V2Blast[M] 0 points1 point ago

Yep.

No hotlinked or re-hosted comics (unless the author specifically allows it). Submit the page on the author's site containing the comic.

[–]GreyouTT 13 points14 points ago

MOTHER FUCKER SUPLEXED A TRAIN!

[–]ZeroGear9513 0 points1 point ago

Because he can. So why not.

Another weird thin is that Joker Doom can kill the final boss but only if the user is confused.

[–]Brandonspikes 18 points19 points ago

Final Fantasy VI is one of the best video games of all time, if not THE BEST RPG ever made.

Here

is

Why

[–]Zrob 3 points4 points ago

You forgot about THIS

[–]no_dice_grandma 1 point2 points ago

Sorry, but CT beats it hands down.

Glenn. Thats who.

Underfuckingsea Palace

Schala

[–]Brandonspikes 0 points1 point ago

Ct was number 2 for me, It had some problems but overall a 10/10 game.

[–]SeoirseN 1 point2 points ago

CT is definitely number 2. FFVI was just head and shoulders above of it. Don't get me wrong, Chrono Trigger was fucking amazing. FFVI was just better.

[–]SeoirseN 0 points1 point ago

Definitely best game ever.

[–]nopurposeflour 0 points1 point ago

All of the music was great. Searching for friends was one of my favorite tracks ever.

[–]TooMuchTony 8 points9 points ago

This brings up an interesting idea. Adding teammate dialogue based on what the player chooses in a turn-based battle system might bring an interesting dynamic.

Maybe have a game with 4 preset characters that you can mold however you like (Melee, mage, healer, etc) and based on how they play it can have an affect on how their teammates feel about them.

Have one character who refuses to use his turn to heal or use items? Other characters start to distance themselves from him in other dialogue because of his selfishness.

I'm just throwing stuff around atm, but if done right it does sound like it could be interesting.

[–]Omnifluence 0 points1 point ago

Tales of Vesperia does this VERY well. Depending on who's in your party, the end of battle scenes will be different. They also say different things during battle as the game goes on.

[–]Chiv_Cortland 7 points8 points ago

Sabin's expression in the second panel...where have i seen that before?

[–]angrytroll 5 points6 points ago

Reminds me of The Maxxx

[–]TomtheWonderDog 2 points3 points ago

I didn't think anyone other than me remembered this existed...

I can remember seeing this on MTV as a kid, but every comic and hobby store I've visited wouldn't know I was talking about.

[–]no_dice_grandma 1 point2 points ago

The Maxx was my favorite all time hero/anti-hero. You are not alone.

[–]BenFreakinFranklin 2 points3 points ago

"Son I am disappoint"?

[–]Chiv_Cortland 0 points1 point ago

No, it reminds me of someone from some TV/Cartoon show, but I'll be damned if I can remember it

[–]Gneissisnice 6 points7 points ago

Eh, just a Phoenix Down, instant win.

[–]ZeroGear9513 0 points1 point ago

You're kind of missing the point here.

[–]bluemayhem 8 points9 points ago

Vanish

Doom

repeat.

[–]zqwefty 10 points11 points ago

On phantom train it's easier to just use a Phoenix down

[–]Outlulz 2 points3 points ago

You don't even have magicite when you fight the Phantom Train. The only magic users are Celes and Terra at that point.

[–]GladHammer 6 points7 points ago

Vanish Sketch Insanity

[–]Equipto 3 points4 points ago

Vanish - X-Zone - GG

[–]Anaract 1 point2 points ago

Master Scroll + Merit Award + Tempest, use Catscratch with Gau... the game just stops being fun. Gau is godly

[–]mishugashu 4 points5 points ago

And now I need to go play FF6 again. Thanks.

[–]pootytang324 1 point2 points ago

[–]Dockirby 2 points3 points ago

Hey look, its that gif again.

[–]Stubbledorange 3 points4 points ago

Meowington. I see what you did there OP

[–]Gary_the_Goatfucker 1 point2 points ago

What's going on here?

[–]Xerazal 2 points3 points ago

DO NOT FUCK WITH SABIN. HE WILL SUPLEX YOUR FUCKING GHOST TRAIN.

[–]Propolandante 0 points1 point ago

I really thought that first frame was a stylized sketch of Master Chief at first...

[–]With_Hands_And_Paper 1 point2 points ago

You get an upvote for FF 6.

Plus this is hilarious.

[–]hAxehead 1 point2 points ago

Can someone explain what is going on here?

[–]decross20 0 points1 point ago

Dude, it's the top comment.

[–]hAxehead 1 point2 points ago

Oh sorry. I didn't click the link because I didn't expect it to answer my question :/

[–]Dr_Ifto 1 point2 points ago

Just started playing his again and used suplex on it. So much fun.

[–]Consequence6 1 point2 points ago

This was the hardest I've laughed in over a year, and it's not even that funny. I was literally crying and laughing for over 5 minutes. That hurt so badly.

[–]herebezombies 1 point2 points ago

Sabin really was a badass... but this was completely unnecessary. You can defeat the ghost train with a phoenix down.

[–]Anaract 0 points1 point ago

you can do that with a lot of bosses. It sort of took the fun away..

[–]_Navi_ 0 points1 point ago

a lot of bosses

Can you provide a single other example? I'm pretty sure that the Phantom Train is the one and only undead boss in the game, and hence the only boss that can be killed by a phoenix down.

[–]zolot83 0 points1 point ago

I'm not sure about FF6 as it has been awhile. But in FF8 there was the copy of the mayor or something that you fight on a train and he can be killed with a phoenix down. Also there is an undead serpent in FFX that can be killed via phoenix down, and I am sure that there are others.

[–]NewbCactus 0 points1 point ago

What about Dullahan?

[–]Fracktarded 1 point2 points ago

Sabin ain't shit compared to Wind God Gau.

[–]Anaract 1 point2 points ago

I remember doing that. Tempest, Merit Award, and Master Scroll. Then you use Cat Scratch and do ridiculous damage to every unit on the field 4 times. Fun stuff. It was so broken that they took away Gau's ability to use Merit Award in the GBA port

[–]ElectricSistaHood 1 point2 points ago

Is Ghost Train Doom Train's dad??

[–]ZachMatthews 0 points1 point ago

Strong candidate for greatest game of all time.

[–]Anaract 0 points1 point ago

You don't select Suplex, you select Blitz and then input X Y Up Down.

jeeeeeeez

[–]ChoirTeacherRog -1 points0 points ago

upvote for "Bitch, I'm Mother Fuckin Sabin."

[–]TheSoundAurora -1 points0 points ago

Tifa + Meteodrive

[–]notrightmeow 0 points1 point ago

ff6 best ff

[–]BatCaveGuano 0 points1 point ago

The only ff game i ever gave a crap about! I almost cried and jumped onto my airship

[–]captainobvious254 0 points1 point ago

I'm bothered by the fact shadow and cyan are with him. But up vote for ff3!

[–]DrShockalypse 0 points1 point ago

Shadow sending Interceptor to knaw at the train is pretty funny too

[–]piggyback101 0 points1 point ago

Sabin. Chris Sabin?

[–]A_Simplepun 1 point2 points ago

To this day every main character i play as is named Sabin. He was that badass

[–]nopurposeflour 0 points1 point ago

There's never love for Edgar.

[–]Noxislight 0 points1 point ago

Any1 played Asura's Wrath? Man that guy is PISSED!

[–]Wrickwrock 0 points1 point ago

That is not at all how you initiate a suplex in FF6, and as others pointed out, those aren't the characters with Sabin at the time. Did the drawer even play the game?

[–]Derringer 0 points1 point ago

Obviously not, he would have just used a phoenix down.

[–]ZeroGear9513 0 points1 point ago

I went to a friend's house one day and he was just about to start the battle. At the end when I mention that he didn't suplex the train he facepalmed so hard I thought I could see an indent on the back of his head in the shape of his hand!

[–]singularlydatarific 0 points1 point ago

You know when the party gets split up and you choose who you want to follow? I chose the one with Sabin in it. You know damn well why.

[–]_Navi_ 2 points3 points ago

You know damn well why.

I'd guess it's because you have to choose all three of them.

[–]necrambo 0 points1 point ago

performs 'suplex'

IMMUNE

fuck!!!

[–]onemoreloser 0 points1 point ago

hahahaha

[–]thesmoth 0 points1 point ago

I thought I was a genius when I was a kid and used to suplex the doom train all the time in FF3. I guess I wasn't the only one.

[–]NewbCactus 0 points1 point ago

FALSE. Celes wouldn't have been playable during the Phantom Train.

[–]Derringer 0 points1 point ago

Every time I see this comic, I think there should be another panel or two when someone uses a Phoenix Down on it.

No suplex needed!

[–]UltimaGabe 0 points1 point ago

I love when people post Zac Gorman comics. I knew him in high school.

[–]Malgayne 0 points1 point ago

My friend David invented a drink that would knock you on your ass. I don't remember the recipe, but I do remember that after much discussion, they decided to call the drink the "Phantom Train Suplex."

He doesn't select it from a menu, you have to input it.

Just leave out the fail next time. Let's move on from that now that 45 year old housewives are using it. Now I know how the brothers feel when the white people start using their vernacular.

FINAL FANTASY LOGIC...

FIGHTING THE TRAIN OF DEATH

USE SUPLEX
