[up]I always think that Garnet is somewhat a thrill seeker, people forget she really enjoy being her, fighting, going on aventure and the like so videogame represent a challange she is going to beat.

[up]x5 In hindsight, I should've gotten what the joke was about...but it didn't click.

[up]I don't see how a motion controlled rhythm game gives anyone thrill.

She won the moment she started to exist...Garnet has future power.

She knows almost exactly everything thing that might happen.

I do think that exploring the flaws she had in "Arcade Mania" would be interesting in the future. Her inability to resist a challenge maybe?

But it wasn't really a challenge.

Maybe what she got zoned into was the fact that the game kept telling her how amazing she was.

That would also work. The down sides to her pride and confidence.

CG Sap's problem is that she's a total loser with no self-worth. Hence she clings to beserk fusions that CG Pearl would naturally dissolve.

Garnet have future vision but she dosent know how everything will end, she see posibilities and show the best for her.

But we have to remenber that she share some trait of anime heros(not surprise she was the one who have a anime inspired story) in they love to fight and being reckless, granted saphire part of her temper that with the responsability of other but yeah, Garnet have a issues about taking back things.

Inability to resist a challenge...besides from rebooting the machine which was weird...

She never really challenged herself...self-imposed. She does show signs of an ego...overconfidence. Unlike Amethyst and Pearls', Garnet's seems to be legitimate.

I think it's an ego thing.

Garnet as fusion share the same two weakness of Saphire and Ruby: first is her somewhat aloof nature making her dificult to read, Pearl and Amathys does trust her a little bit too much at times and Garnet does feel frutrated at times with that.

the second is Ruby tendecy of being impulsive and enjoy challange, as herself put it "Im a eternal flame baby!" so she have issue about backing done thing she enjoy so much.

She didn't do that when it got broken.

[up]Randomness is sensing some assumptive reasoning here.

Well she can't magic it unbroken and presumably that was enough to snap her out of it.

While the quick repair ability isn't unique to Rose (ref. Peri's use of healing goop in Warp Tour), it isn't a known ability of Sap/Ruby/Garnet.

Maybe she thought the machine's voice was Stephen's.

Ehhh videogames can be a challange, specially one like that who apeal to garnet: you have to move, see where the arrow come and have reflex in order to get the biggest score ever, is just that kept going and going and trap garnet in a loop, funny thing actually.

There was that one time where Garnet was completely wrong about the feasibility of becoming Sugilite. I remember appreciating that at the time, because I liked that the show averted The Complainer Is Always Wrong by having Pearl be right and Garnet wrong.

wild mass guess Peridot got her repair goop from Prasiolite and there remains only one Rose quartz.

Any game Future Visoion wouldn't make you amazing at probably isn't very good.

This seems to confirm Summer of Steven is going exactly to the end of season 3.

Confirmation for the unspoiled...

Any game that future vision wouldn't make you good at is likely to not exist...bad control is the only thing future vision can't compensate for.

Judging by the giant foot thing, she never officially became leader. It was just a de facto thing because Pearl and Amethyst needed someone to look up to. Also, future vision.

Also, Pearl disputes that Garnet is the leader, but Amethyst figures that since she's always leading them to where they need to be, she pretty much is. Knowing Garnet, I doubt she cares about titles.

I have noticed that Garnet has far fewer explicit flaws than Pearl or Amethyst, and I have wondered if the show will ever give her a few. The only real flaw I can think off is that it's implied that Pearl and Amethyst have used her as an emotional substitute for Rose, but Garnet isn't really capable of the kind of constant emotional support that Rose was. And even that's not really a flaw so much as it is her not being able to be everyone the others wish she could be.

Edit: She also doesn't have much empathy for humans most of the time, but that's usually played for comedy when it comes up.
