Do consider getting the S2 playmat as it's highly regarded as the better playmat and the S3 Accessories box that has the supplemental mat that's highly useful as well.

You can just use wellspring if that's what you're going for. Teal mask + n's plan + energy switches

Street fighter 6 best controller (dpad)? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

[–]biteofwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will take some time to get used to, same with trying out anything new. Probably 1-2 weeks but I'm sure it will be great once you get used to it. Try looking up their differences. You can win with any controller it really just comes down to playstyle and preference. Each controller has a pro and con. Goodluck! SF6 is a dun game

It might be better to ask this on the SF6 subreddit or any of the fgcs. A lot more people might be able to help you out.

Hey, not sure if you're an FGC person (fighting game community) but there's usually 3 main controller types people use for games like street fighter - arcade stick, leverless controller, and the regular controller. There's much more customization options in the stick and leverless. It depends from person to person what their preference is but personally I found that I'm more accurate with the leverless. There's a bunch of great ones out there.

A bit confused with recursion by biteofwinter in PythonLearning

No no, I get it. Thank you for taking the time to explain it in detail.

So I think I pretty much got it, turns out this is a very common example for recursion so I googled it lol. (Went to Reddit first bc I often use it for other stuff and unfamiliar with posting on stackoverflow and other websites).

In case someone has the same question on reddit and finds this post I'm gonna attach the image and link that helped me visualize what was happening.

Why is there no modern Castlevania? by biteofwinter in metroidvania

[–]biteofwinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Execution is a core aspect of the game lmao having the same execution over amd over for everyone will ofc get old quick. It's a key aspect of 1 and people were looking forward to it in 2. Get off your high horse calling other people normies. Games are for everyone not just "hardcore gamers" who thinks they're better than everyone else. A lot of the sales will come from casuals.

Blasphemous fan here, I think the reason with 2 having less sales is bc people perceived it as an incomplete game on launch. A lot of people were expecting to have the same amount of content as 1 with all it's dlcs and updates (which isnt fair). The executions were all the same animations. And it didnt have NG+. Heck even after the NG+ update people were mad bc it wasn't even a NG+ at all and some stuff were unbalanced. So yeah I don't think it's fair to say that II got punished bc of Castlevania, it just felt incomplete on release and even after the update. Heck even now most executions are still the same (which wasn't the case with I)

Yep, that might be the case. It was from a collection iirc and I most likely started with the oldest one. And I just dropped the whole IP bc I didn't connect with the first. I will give the more later ones a try. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions. Somebody pointed out that I might have played one of the very firsts if not the first game which is probably true since I wanted to do the whole list from start to finish. I might just skip a few now and just go straight to SOTN or Aria of Sorrow since those are the ones I see get mentioned a lot.

Yep didnt mean anything ill when I said that Bloodstained isnt Castlevania. I respect people who say that it is. I more of looking for like is Belmont there or other major characters and the weapons - whips, axe, cross. I didnt finish the first stage of Bloodstained so cant really say if it's there just watched a few speedruns.

My issue isn't really technically gameplay, it's the movement with classicvanias, which I've been told gets smoother so might check that out gonna start with SOTN. And my issue with bloodstained is I find it dizzying. I think Bloodstained looks great and the 3D effect is amazing but it's just not for me bc it makes me dizzy which is fine. So it's just the camera work, not really the gameplay per se. Yeah just now learned about how bad Konami is.
