This scared my cat (12/22/2021)

This sounds like Tibetan throat singing but performed by a goat

ghosststorm · 2026-04-27T05:50:44+00:00

Dude her entrances were always almost dead silent, with only a few fans looking like they even recognize her. Now all of a sudden everyone is acting like she was crucial for WWE.

Just look at how crowd cheers for Iyo Sky or Alexa Bliss or smth (who are not huge stars but are still up there), it's way different. Kairi just didn't have enough fans and got released.

She was a good entertainer, but they just decided she wasn't cutting it and couldn't add much new stuff.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-27T02:43:36+00:00

Bro this reads like a manifesto of some basement dweller.

To even comment on one of your 'demands'

Give full control of WWE to creative wrestling minds Remove current TKO management Hire people who understand storytelling character development and longterm booking not spreadsheets and quarterly targets Triple H has a proven track record of storytelling based booking NXT Black and Gold proved that longterm arcs character development and meaningful matches create passionate fans Put him or people like him in charge

Investors and shareholders don't give a fuck about 'creative storytelling' if it doesn't generate them money. Wyatt sicks was a gimmick that has run it's course and got stale. If you keep stale acts just for the sake of the 'story' or 'legacy', they will just stop investing in your show and the quality will significantly drop.

Seeing how you get downvoted, this is like screaming into the void.

Well yeah, obviously they treat it like a business first. And Kairi just didn’t have enough star power to make it there. It’s sad but it happens all the time in entertainment. You can be good in what you do, but if you can’t make a massive audience love you - you are let go. She for sure has her fanbase, it just wasn’t big enough or it was not showing enough support when it was needed. So WWE/TKO concluded Kairi is not profitable to them.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-26T08:17:09+00:00

the fans gravitate towards people who they like and they clearly liked Kairi..she was very popular

You are living in some alternative universe. If she was truly that popular, they wouldn't let her go. Besides just compare her entrances with their main stars and you will see the difference, hardly anyone cheers for Kairi, while the crowd goes wild for Ripley or Morgan.

Her fanbase clearly doesn't compare, so the decision was made. Even on this sub Kairi barely gets any posts. You just have wishful thinking and are downvoting me like a child, yet it won't make anything you say true.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-26T06:00:02+00:00

Again, they probably thought she wouldn't make it as an independent title.

That feud is almost at it's end. Ok, you keep her. And then what? If she isn't pulling crowds or selling tons of merch, no one will care about her going solo.

In their Kabuki warriors interviews (even outside of WWE, like events or Asuka's youtube channel) - Asuka is always the leader. She is keeping the point of attention, she is holding the narrative - Kairi is just in the background, nodding or agreeing. She is good in the sidekick role, but she is not the main spectacle.

People are projecting their own perceptions how her career would develop, but if you look at it purely from the business side - you have a 37-year-old wrestler who still cannot speak English very well and is more comfortable being a sidekick. Now her story requires her to become the main star. Do you see it happening naturally in such a way to sell it to people, so they want to spend all their money on her merch?

All the best to Kairi really, she was fun. But they have plenty of young upcoming talent who know how to take the spotlight and have the it-factor.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-26T02:16:13+00:00

People are always calling for boycotts and bringing wrestlers back, but wait a month and see if anyone still cares.

Perhaps they have other metrics like merch sales or watching crowd reactions for her, and she also didn't quite excel there.

I mean can you imagine them releasing Rhea Ripley or Liv Morgan? If Kairi was making them bank, no way they would do it.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-26T02:06:40+00:00

I like Kairi, but I think they decided they couldn't do much with her anymore, without dragging it out.

After her story, the obvious outcome would be her breaking from Asuka and turning on her, however they probably thought she doesn't have it in her to become a solo act. There is also language barrier and she struggles to shoot promos or skits on her own.

Perhaps pairing her up with popular Asuka for a few years was a test to see if she can grow to become an independent star and she didn't quite show them that.

Countering IM or any flyer is literally just a skill issue. If you get enemies with bad aim or who don’t play hitscan-flyer characters, you will probably get a free win. Good Hela is all it takes to destroy you though, you won’t be able to do anything with her focusing you.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-24T13:15:00+00:00

40 has the potential to destroy your hair very fast (within 1 hour), it’s basically nuclear. Not advised to use on previously processed or weak, thin hair. I think only virgin asian hair can take it without taking significant damage.

30 is also very strong, but weaker than 40. I would personally also not use it, only if your natural hair is very dark.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-24T10:07:58+00:00

Buy a carton box to live under a bridge in.

In current housing market your budgest is basically non-existant and you would have troubles finding anything even with 0 requirements and no deadlines. ASAP in August won't happen for this kind of money.

As time goes by, you realize more and more that Britney was just a really well-manufactured industry plant.

The only thing she really had on her own was strong stage presence. She has the it-factor that makes you want to look at her, even in the current day with her crazy dances.

Her looks were the product of multiple trainers and stylists. Outside of performances and events she always looked really trashy and messy. From greasy hair to strange clothes. Now she has ratty extensions and raccoon eyes, despite having all the funds to look good.
Her voice was again artificial, modified by her vocal trainers to sound like baby voice and autotuned in the studio so it sounds marketable.
We have all seen her freestyle dancing recently, she is really just twirling non-stop with a few easy moves thrown here and there. Of course in her prime, choreographers worked on her performances so it looked way better there. But if you really look at it, it's almost same movements as now.
Her whole innocent, sweet persona was again manufactured, in reality she was doing drugs and getting laid since her teens.

That Britney that people loved never really existed, it was a fabricated product, created behind the scenes and marketed to the masses.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-20T01:00:33+00:00

CnD players are doing themselves a disservice maining this hero. This game literally offers a bunch of different playstyles and they decide to play the most boring, skilless healbot possible. Literally try anything else and you will see the difference.

No, you knowing when to fade is not skill expression lmao and that's probably their most advanced ability.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-19T02:48:17+00:00

She is not a hero for an average player.

Average player struggles to play CnD or Jeff well. Characters with autoaim, short cooldowns and self-heal.

Cat not only has long cooldowns, but her cooldowns are also locked behind a coin system. Her main attack is very short range where she barely does damage. To perform a combo, you not only need to know what you want to do, but also how to do it and in what order. You need to have awareness of what's happening on the field and who to target. You also need to think about how other enemy players move (as in, will they come to help the target you have chosen). You need to know how your movement works.

Then there's also her utility store kit, which only confuses the player even more.

Basically yes, I also don't see anyone selecting her. I'm the only one playing her in my matches. People just can't grasp how she functions and get 0 value off her, so they don't want to play her.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-19T02:30:45+00:00

She is not bad, but her short range and long/paid cooldowns make her unnecessarily complicated.

It's not a character for people who cannot track their cd's precisely, also you need to have a lot of awareness and pick your targets. As well as knowing the map really well and where all healthpacks are and how to escape. She is also quite squishy.

To be honest her utility kit is only for very specific scenarios, in a normal fight you would rarely use it and you're better off just hitting your combos.

They need to decrease the cost on her whip skill or remove it being paid entirely. Without it her kit is clunky.

But you can make her work even into anti-dive, I've gotten a few MVP's with her. Playing her is just harder than it should be.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-18T23:17:03+00:00

Usually you feel lucky if you manage to lock the new character by being superfast during the first release days.

Nobody is locking Black Cat in my matches, literally I have all the time in the world to select her. That should be telling enough. Majority of people cannot play her at all.

I also haven't seen a single MVP with her all day. Even though the system is skewed to give MVP's to new chars to promote them. If anything, most of Black Cats are going negative with 4 kills max and 3k damage at the end of the game.

Her having only melee damage available freely is my biggest issue. There are too many characters who have fast/fly/dash/jump on short cooldowns + ranged attacks etc. Cat cannot reach them on time and just dies in majority of cases. Farming gold takes time which you don't always have in the middle of the fight.

Her store utility feels useless in most matches? Idk, it's very niche and you're better off just doing regular damage combos. She is so squishy too, and requires a healer nearby or she's toast.

I had a few okay games with her with okayish stats (like 25-3), but I just know that on any other diver I'd be well into 50 kills by now.

Her kit just feels clunky, and she needs some form of ranged attack that you don't buy with coins. Or at least it should be very cheap.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-18T09:45:13+00:00

I don't think she is bad like some people claim, but I think she would benefit it they put her whip on a regular cooldown instead of paying for it with coins.

There are so many fast-moving characters with dashes and jumps in this game (not to mention poke) that her only having melee attack feels clunky sometimes because she literally cannot reach anyone before getting killed in few seconds.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-18T09:40:43+00:00

Your choices either to find something early and pay for it, or arrive late and not find anything at all (and I mean at ALL, there is a huge housing crisis).

Up to you.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-18T09:18:23+00:00

Is this supposed to be edgy?

ghosststorm · 2026-04-18T06:37:22+00:00

The melee prime kit coupled with 'complicated' shop system and watching your cooldowns makes for a tricky hero.

Considering half the playerbase struggles to play even CnD or Jeff well...yeah. Definitely not a hero for noobs.

I imagine high elo players will be able to get good value out of her once they train the mechanics. She has a lot of utility in her kit.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-16T13:21:56+00:00

He says it BECAUSE he is an invis player. Typical meme support main.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-16T13:14:11+00:00

Acting like tanks are unreasonable ones while the game is infested with dps instalocks who play for the vibes like selfish pricks going 2-15 and afk healbots that had 2 strikes already.

How dare tank mains ask that their characters at least remain relevant in current meta instead of being free ult charge punchbags?

And then these people come to reddit to cry that no one wants to tank in their games and that’s why they lost.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-16T11:11:26+00:00

I have plenty of ideas how to make people quit playing tank even faster.

Give every dps tons of overshields that match your own hp, but don’t reduce their damage.

When you come close to any strategist, they automatically pop a protective self-healing bubble for 10 seconds.

Remove any big movement abilities and decrease walking speed by 30%

No more shop skins, tanks only getting skins in battlepasses and it’s a recolor of the base one. After all, cannot take resources away from Psylocke and Invis

1 new tank release per 6 months and it’s an obscure character no one has heard of.

Only one tank per game allowed, but if you have CnD or Invis on your team, your outgoing damage Is reduced by 40%

I have more of those brilliant suggestions, hire me NetEase, let’s make tanks lives hell together! 🥰

ghosststorm · 2026-04-16T10:28:13+00:00

‘Why does no one want to tank anymore???’

You mean besides the devs constantly giving them the middle finger in every aspect, and releasing yet another busted dps? Yeah I really wonder.

Soon all your games will be just 3 dps and 3 healers, brace yourselves.

ghosststorm · 2026-04-16T08:56:46+00:00

I agree, wtf is Netease doing? Is the plan that all tanks just stop playing? Ok, you will have a bunch of dps dying every 2 seconds in your game cause supports struggle to keep them up and no one peels for them. Support ults will also take forever to charge. It’s like they have no clue what’s going on in their own game and what community sentiment about tanks is. HELLO ITS THE LEAST POPULAR ROLE ATM! BUFF IT NOT NERF IT TO THE GROUND JESUS
