It would show at 5 PM for you Gira. West coast hours are three hours behind the east coast

[Giratina93]

Oh... THANK YOU, CS! If I could, I'd repay for your help!

[TyrannoTitan]

...You people fail at time zones.

Its still on at 8 for Gira, but his 8 is 3 hours before ours. So at 8 PM our time, it will be 5 PM his time. By the time its 8 there and it is on, it will be 11 PM here.

I've ended up missing the bus today and my mom has told me just to stay home she's at work and can't afford to be spared.

Wow. Lucky!!!!

Also, me and my dad are planning to hunt a khezo sometime soon. Any advice you can give to a low-rank hunter?

[Iceking]

Sure. Fire element weapons are good to use on Khezu. At G-rank, water weapons are good for Red Khezu. Regarding normal Khezu again, he goes into rage mode in one hit when nearing death.

[The Kingpin]

when fighting Khezu, remember a simple rule: 1-2 hits then dodge. rinse and repeat. with a GS it isn't that bad because you can block, but you better be ready to time your blocking well. Khezu has alot of health for a small wyvern, and it tends to combo-whore as well [in other words, it will tend to do alot of combos. a particularly dangerous combo is scream (when you're right under him)+ electro-charge, or, if you're a distance away, scream, jumping electrocharge, electro-balls, electrocharge. Fire weapons are especially effective against him, and if you have some poison throwing knives [not a poison sword. DON'T go after him with a poison weapon. only throwing knives, if you're given any at the start of the hunt], save them for when he's nearing death (signs of this are that he rages in one hit, and tends to freeze in place in an idle animation just before retreating). when you see these signs (especially the last one. it can save you from a painful fight in the confines of his resting area), pummel him with the poison throwing knives, then chase him when he leaves (though try to avoid letting him leave, if at all possible).

also, so you know, his weak spot is the head. his tail is extremely hard, and is impossible to cut. as for materials, save the Pale Extract as much as possible....it'll be useful to you in the future...




in other news: i just realised i have comments on my latest Horus pic in the art thread! going to reply to everyone who commented now...

[Godzilla Forever]

Thanks, both of you. I'll tell my dad to use flaming S, and I'll take my redwing GS.

..I have just finished watching clips from this show called "Monsters Ressurected", and the end result: I'm not the only one who thinks that Spinosaurus is the true king...

Seriously, all these experts, including one who specializes in Tyrannosaurs and helped the production of Walking with DInosaurs and When Dinosaurs roamed America, think that Spino pwns all...

If you don't believe me, just look at the Cool Video topic for my latest post there...

What a load of wyvern droppings. There's NO WAY a spino could pick up a fully grown Rugops IN ITS JAWS and kill it.

That was the most ridiculous video I've ever seen.

And WHY did you put the spino vs. T-rex scene in there? Stupid.

Those videos where ridiculous, the guy who thought about the Spinosaurus as a bone crushing machine needs to have his paleontologist license taken away.

Agreed. stupid Jack Horner..... too bad he didn't know back in 2001 it ate fish, so that all this balogna could have been avoided.........

Here, look at what they had to say on Wikipedia (this is what it ate):

It is unclear whether Spinosaurus was primarily a terrestrial predator or a fisher, as indicated by its elongated jaws, conical teeth and raised nostrils. The hypothesis of spinosaurs as specialized fish eaters has been suggested before by A. J. Charig and A. C. Milner for Baryonyx. They base this on the anatomical similarity with crocodilians and the presence of digestive acid-etched fish scales in the rib cage of the type specimen.[15] Large fish are known from the faunas containing other spinosaurids, including the Mawsonia, in the mid-Cretaceous of northern Africa and Brazil. The only direct evidence for spinosaur diet comes from related European and South American taxa. Baryonyx was found with both fish scales and bones from juvenile Iguanodon in its stomach, while a tooth embedded in a South American pterosaur bone suggests that spinosaurs occasionally preyed on these flying archosaurs.[16] Spinosaurus was likely to have been a generalized and opportunistic predator, possibly a Cretaceous equivalent of large grizzly bears, being biased toward fishing, though it undoubtedly scavenged and took many kinds of small or medium-sized prey.

So it ate mostly FREAKING FISH. And it was the top predator IN AFRICA, but that doesn't make it the strongest dinosaur in the world.

EDIT: Finished watching the vids. So, it was like a walking crocodile. That JP3 scene is still invalid. T-rex would've still won, since its jaws were made to crush bone, and it bit the SPINO'S NECK FOR GOD'S SAKE.

That program controdicted itself to no end. I was going to rant about it when it first came on, but I was the last poster here.

First, they even said that the only fossils were DESTROYED IN WWII. You know Brontosaurus? It doesn't exist, the fossils were combinations of known dinosaurs. Spinosaurus could easily be the same exact thing.

Second, they had PHOTOS to go by, and suddenly they know its jaw structure, how powerful its arms were, and how large it was. The ONLY thing else they had was a vertebrate of what they BELIEVED to be a Spino, which could account for its length.

They also lack any sort of skull scans, to determine brain size and what areas of the brain were developed. T-rex has an insane sense of smell, hearing, and sight. It also has the ability to think out strategies, much like raptors (Though less advanced).

Spino? NOTHING. They just take their assumed bullsh*t and call it gospel, even when they lack any sort of physical evidence. For all we know, it doesn't even exist. Even Baryonyx has a number of fossils. Spino? Almost none since the others were destroyed. I wonder why that is?

[Godzilla Forever]

No, TT, you're thinking of Ultrsaurus that was made of multiple creatures. Brontosaurus was just another name for apatosaurus.

Anyways, I think me, TT, and Alpha made our points. Spino either didn't exist or was just a fisher. Case closed. So stop bringing it up gira, since any dino junky would know T-rex would OWN spino.

[C S]

Apatosaurous is what Brontosaurus is based off of. Brontosaurus means thunder lizard IIRC, and was declared a new species in the race to discover dinos, but it was an apatosaur with other fossil fragments in it.

and, G4E, any dino junkie would know SPINO WAS IN AFRICA. Not North America, K? Even by the cretaceous (and Late cretaceous where the T-rex appeared in) Africa wouldnt be connected to the NA landmass. So, they wouldnt even meet

[Alpha]

That's what I said, look at my replies on Gira's youtube video. Nvm, I will post them here.

Seriously, when will this debate end?. The movie is scientifically wrong, a Spinosaurus could not break a Tyrannosaurus Rex neck, I will give you 2 reasons for it:

1) First of all, they never fought each other because they never met!, the Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in America and the Spinosaurus in Africa.

I will post a second reply as there are not enough characters left

Ok, here it goes reason number two:

2) The Spinosaurus didn't have the anatomy to actually break a Tyrannosaurus neck, it was developed for fishing. Why would it have a Crocodile like jaws if it would break necks?, why would it have a fishing claw if it was going to use it to break necks?. Even if he had the things to do it, the Tyrannosaurus neck was pure muscles, it had pretty much durability, to support the head and to be able to hold prey, it would take a lot to break it.

Consider the fight as a Doberman vs a Pittbull, the T-rex being the Pittbull while the Doberman is the Spinosaurus, simple as that.

I know it lived in africa. That's why it's ridiculous. Even if they could fight, T-rex would win.

Har har I don't have school today because there's a snowstorm >:D

[Giratina93]

Lucky you, Spinax

Due to me living in the Puget Sound area, it's almost impossible for it to snow up here...

[Godzilla Forever]

Lucky- in the valleys of california, there's no such thing as snow!!!
