It's utility was fine, it was just vastly underutilized in stage design. Which considering you don't start with Rush Jet, makes sense, as parts of stages would be unbeatable. Like most games that used master weapons which had more utilitarian secondary attributes, they could have (and did in some cases) make parts of stages easier/faster if you had Rush Jet. Then in the post master stages, have areas which you HAD to have Rush Jet to get through. This was actually done in several games, but the degree to which it succeeded is debatable.
I like Rush Jet, as well as Rush Coil, as both are still useful expansions of Mega Man's move set, even if they're not particularly well used most of the time in the games. I prefer them to the adapter armors myself because they feel like more of an accessory rather than power up. The other iterations of Rush such as the Rush Marine (great idea, horribly underused to the point of irrelevance) and all the Mega Man 8 "summons" were just "here's Rush he's helping" and never really gave you anything close to the utility of Jet and Coil.
Other non-Rush accessories such as balloon, wire, item-1, 2, and 3, etc all had some good uses, but many were just basically the same utility Jet or Coil provided, and the others just as underutilized or pointless as Marine, but lacked the iconic Rush style.
I'd have loved to see things like Wire used more in stage design, but with the limited number of stages, and it being a hidden power up, it's understandable why they didn't. Although at that point, why even include it? That's the problem with a lot of the utility items in the series. The stage design just wasn't done with them in mind 80% of the time.

Actually, if it's Alie or Model X Alie will make the difference. Base Alie would be awesome, but Model X Alie is just fem X and doesn't look particularly good.

Yeah, I saw some higher resolution art for her. It's pretty nice, though I'm never a fan of the frills on swimsuits. Hides too much of the eye candy.

Layer's suit isn't THAT spicy. It's not even a string bikini or anything. It's pretty tame really. No idea why Shadowrock made such a big deal of it.
And the blue check marks sperging out over Roll's swimsuit are the biggest joke out there right now.

With Roll and Layer. Sadly no Iris swimsuit. But Layer's is evidently pretty spicy and not the same one from Legacy Collection.

Viz has some awful choices. The fan translations of Dr. Stone were a lot better with Chrome. In "We Never Learn" they completely REMOVED Mafuyu's speech pattern. And of course, they're STILL using "Zolo" and not "Zoro" in One-Piece. Jokes on them though, I still have first print runs of volume 1-4 when they used the correct "Zoro" before they changed it to Zolo.

I'm almost caught up on Chainsaw Man. Fun and chaotic, but I think it's biggest drawback is that so many supporting characters are generic looking and it's hard to remember/care about who has died and whether or not the person who just died actually mattered or not.
The action is incredible though, and the visceral destruction and gore is top notch. I also wish they had kicked it off with a little more backstory.
I'll probably be jumping into Dr. Stone later tonight/tomorrow.
I have 29 hours left in "The Stand" audiobook, and maaaaaaan I am pumped to see where its going!
Dr. Stone is amazing, but it does start off a bit slow. The last chapter of volume 2 is where it really starts and picks up. Reading it on one go should make it easy to through what is essentially a prologue/set up.

She's only available for one week. Everything about this "game" aside from the amazing new art assets created for the characters is about the worst gatcha mobile ##### I've ever seen.

People think your 30's is all downhill but it's silly. My 30's have been the best and I hit the best shape of my life last year. Keep grinding, John.
You kids have it so easy now. When I was in my 30s it went downhill uphill, both ways, and that's how we liked it.
