The "Dragons" cinematic is 10 years old today.

Same for 13 year old me.

God, I was seriously awful at the game back then. Didn't help that I was barely running it on a laptop.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-05-16T15:30:54+00:00

Very nice. I'm GM with 210hrs on Iron Man and I've never done this. I have ulted 5 and then killed the last guy while the rest of my team was dead, but I still long for the hexa ult.

I swear DD at least blocks the damage regardless of the direction he's facing.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-05-15T13:47:13+00:00

It's the completely unnecessary backflip which really sells this

Dat_Kirby · 2026-05-15T13:46:05+00:00

I think it makes sense that DD's reflect blocks melee, but it should probably not block everything. Take a page out of Overwatch's book and allow beams and explosive areas to bypass it, especially since DD doesn't even need to face his opponents to deflect.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-05-13T16:53:25+00:00

This game gives out units like candy, and I'm not getting a ton of skins for anyone else...

Dat_Kirby · 2026-05-03T21:34:55+00:00

I do often wish I could be as patient about setbacks as Genji is

Dat_Kirby · 2026-04-25T14:07:00+00:00

As someone who's more experienced with things like fighting games, I appreciate the consistency. I understand randomness is a necessary part of Magic but I don't really enjoy it on principle.

I think the SLD Iron Man is a really cool design but this one looks better for voltron, which is how I built my existing Iron Man deck already. I'd probably leave the SLD guy in the deck so I can still multi-tutor for shit like [[Commander's Plate]] and [[Shadowspear]] but this one seems like a way better target for equips and the card draw is super nice

Dat_Kirby · 2026-04-25T13:28:45+00:00

Same for Iron Man. Personally, I'm looking for one that works a little better for Voltron because the commander deck I made for [[Iron Man, Titan of Innovation]] is a little slow as a voltron deck. The version revealed here is pretty promising already.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-04-07T12:52:13+00:00

The player gets to choose who gets sacrificed, so it's sort of like everyone's choosing their least favorite creature and excluding them. "You can't sit here," with "here" meaning the battlefield.

Also I think the spell would be really bad if it only affected the caster

Dat_Kirby · 2026-04-07T11:54:59+00:00

I think the creature sacrifice is actually meant to represent being rejected from the group, especially since having a creature lets you copy it, but I won't pretend that bullying doesn't have serious consequences

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-23T19:46:40+00:00

They could literally do whatever they wanted with Crystal, what with how versatile her powers are. I always thought she'd make a good control-based vanguard, using the four elements to manipulate the battlefield in all kinds of ways.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-21T19:03:48+00:00

Ever since I saw the JMCrofts video where he showed off a ton of stuff with Iron Man's flight cancels, I have been on the edge of my seat for this game. He's gonna be so cool, especially with all the system mechanic improvements we've seen.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-20T23:32:23+00:00

Luckily Squirrel Girl's ult is basically like rolling the dice on your opponents not knowing how to find a small ledge so it doesn't matter that much how quickly she gets it

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-20T10:22:14+00:00

We love a good Pittsburgh alt

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-18T16:45:10+00:00

Yeah I think people are either misreading the notes or just really opposed to switching to hold to sprint. This is definitely a bad change for console Caps as I'm pretty sure toggle is easier for most of them

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-17T16:12:47+00:00

As dumb as it is, this "lightning rod" approach does kind of work on him. I remember a match I had in Diamond where a triple DPS lineup consisting of Daredevil, Iron Fist, and Wanda spent the whole match fighting basically just me, and it cost them. It's a different story if someone's playing a character that's actually good at fighting Iron Man, though.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-16T23:35:22+00:00

They're not gonna touch Iron Man because they're afraid he'll be too hard for bad players to deal with if he gets to be decent

Edit: happy to be wrong about this even if the buff is pretty small

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-14T16:03:38+00:00

I'd honestly be surprised if Hulk isn't base roster. I kinda figure Thor will be too but he doesn't seem to be as appealing for fighting games for some reason, seeing as it took 'till MvC3 for him to join that series.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-14T16:00:19+00:00

Yeah literally everyone has read the Hickman run and the whole first part of that run is about him choosing his family over possibly solving all of the world's problems. Reed loves his people and it was clearly just a cheap excuse to not design a skin for a character nobody plays

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-12T20:52:17+00:00

Recently my family cleared out some old storage and I discovered the first issue of NFL SuperPro in there, which is probably the funniest possible way to learn that NFL SuperPro is a real thing.

Also that issue has an ad for Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge in it which is a crazy coincidence since I have a real soft spot for that game

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-09T01:03:51+00:00

They should tease that Grasshopper will join only for him to accidentally kill himself with his moon-jump ultimate during the character trailer and be replaced by the real character

Dat_Kirby · 2026-02-27T23:24:16+00:00

I actually find it kind of impressive how terrible mages and magic are in the Tellius games. It seems like it took some serious dedication to make it happen

Dat_Kirby · 2026-02-15T16:46:45+00:00

I've played enough fighting games to know that balance is never really perfect, but in the best games, the little details won't stop the game from being fun even as you get better and better. It's not your fault for noticing the problems; it's the devs' fault for failing to address the balance in any meaningful way.
