This is an excellent example of a Dragonball Syndrome. A DB Syndrome is an Anime or Manga where the main characters gets far too powerful towards then end, and at the same time the plot starts dropping in quality. This is exactly what happened here.

Dragon Drive starts out really good, a guy named Reiji Oozora gets invited to an underground arcade where a Virtual Reality Fighting Game called Dragon Drive is played. Reiji gets a Dragon to play the game, which happens to be an one-of-a-kind dragon which is pretty much useless. Reiji starts training the dragon anyways, and it seems it has far more powers than it looks. Reiji is invited to the Special Training Room where he gets a chance to practice Dragon Driving with the DD Champions. His friends Hagiwara and Yukino comes after him and sneaks into the Special Training Room too, but then they all gets sucked into another world where Dragon Drive is real – Ri-kyuu. It then turns out Dragon Drive is just a way for an evil dude who looks like Xemnas with long hair who calls himself Rion to trick people who has talent for Dragon Drive into helping him gaining control over both the Real World and Ri-kyuu using a magic stone known as Jinryuseki.

As i said, the plot starts shallowing badly towards the end, where it also gets incredibly repetitive. The painfully bad animation, the annoying soundtrack(there is about two good songs in total) and a Character Cast who loses their personalities towards the end. Dragon Drive was good at first, but then dropped in quality quicker than Neon Genesis Evangelion did after running out of money. DD does have a good Voice Acting though, especially Toki and Rokkaku, too bad the rest of DD is so bad.

Has it ever bothered you that some Background Applications doesn’t hide their Dock Icons(such as Hardware Growler and Veoh Web Player), thus takes up unnecessary space in the Dock. But, it’s actually possible to hide these!

There is two ways to do this, one that’s easy but not guaranteed to work, and another that’s sightly more complicated but also almost guaranteed to work.

METHOD ONE: The Quick Way

The Quick and easy way that’s not guaranteed is by using the application “Configure Application Dock Tile”, which can be downloaded here. To hide an application’s Dock Tile with this app, simply close the app you want to hide, then open it with CADT, check the box in the window and save. When you open the application, it won’t have any dock icon!

METHOD TWO: The Guaranteed Way

Look up the application in Finder, Right-Click on it and select “Show Package Contents”. A new window opens. Navigate to Contents and open the file “Info.plist”.

If it opens with Plist Editor(it does if you have the Developer Tools package installed), mark the top element and click “Add Child…”, select “Application is Agent(NSUIElement)” from the Drop-down list, and check the box.

If you don’t have Developer Tools, you can instead open it with a Text Editor. You should see a long list of <key>…</key> tags with different kinds of value tags. If there is a Key with the name “LSUIElement”, change the String below it to 1. If it isn’t, add this code after the other Key/Value Pairs:

    <key>LSUIElement</key>
    <string>1</string>

Start the application, and it won’t have a Dock Icon!

Pikachu, all our most hated annoying yellow mouse from Pokémon… Who doesn’t know him?
Pikachu goes from being useless junk of a Pokémon to being one of the most overpowered characters in SSB64!

Pikachu was initially the annoying yellow mouse who stole the title of Pokémon’s mascot from Clefairy. Unlike Clefairy however, Pikachu is completely useless in the Pokémon games. He is fast, but all other stats are low. His “Pika-Pikaaah!” was cute the first season of the Anime, then just became a nuisance.

Before i unlocked Captain Falcon, i always used Pikachu. Pikapain(which is what I’ll call him from now on, since that’s what James from the Pokémon Anime calls him) is fast, just like in the Pokémon games, but unlike there he’s actually powerful. He has an incredibly fast running speed and aerial movement, few dead angles, and is small and hard to hit.

Pikachu is this game’s absolute aerial god. All his aerial attacks can knock enemies away, and some of them can even paralyze enemies, allowing him to follow up with other attacks. His combo effectiveness isn’t as good as Captain Falcon though. Pikapain also has access to the cheapest trick in the game, which also happens to be one of the most powerful combos as well: Thunderspike! Throw someone up in the air, then use his Down Special to throw them even higher while charging the Smash Gauge about 20%, chain this and you’ll KO most characters in no time at all. This is especially useful on stages with a low Upper Smash Limit(the maximum height possible without getting automatically KO’d).

PIkapain has a great Recovery, the Pokémon Move “Quick Attack”, which allow him to go invincible and perform a long two-stage jump. Because he is light, he will be KO’d pretty fast if you throw him, but will also fall slowly. However, his ability to dodge quickly can make up for his lack of defense.

SCORES:
Ranged Combat: 03 – He only has one projectile, a jolt of electricity that bounces when it hits something and briefly paralyzes on impact, but it travels diagonally downwards, making it hard to aim.
Close Combat: 08 – He’s fairly strong, though lacking in the Defense Department
Ground Effectiveness: 07 – He’s awesome, but better in the air
Aerial Effectiveness: 10 – Beats even Captain Falcon, due to his better Aerial Mobility and Jumping
Combos: 05 – He’s not that good at combos…
Survival: 07 – He can jump well, but can be knocked away easily. As i said, he’s lacking in the defense department…
Coolness: 00 – He’s not one bit cool
Speed: 10 – He’s insanely fast!
