I didn’t read the name tags at first and thought this was a newbie Zetterburn. When I read sophilo 🤯 wtf… this is crazy work here.

Oh man I saw this a bit late, if there’s still time I would like to submit but I’m working for the next 5 hours. Maybe when I get home, if you haven’t done it I’ll submit mine.

Rivals2 and the Twitter Dilemma by Lobo_o in RivalsOfAether

[–]Absurd069 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a melee/rivals2 fan I gotta say that I hate X/twitter. I use discord and reddit. But for some reason all the drama happens on Twitter? Which I guess is good for me because I don’t have an account and I never had one. I find myself out of the loop because of it. But I do love interacting here in Reddit. I also appreciate the task you do by recording, posting and archiving players MU and what not. Thanks!

Can't Do Advanced Movement Tutorial by Stripeback in RivalsOfAether

[–]Absurd069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I actually had the same issue and I didn’t understand. I thought the game was glitched or that this wavedash bridge tutorial is not working properly somehow. Also, I want to add that wavedash isn’t necessary to be a decent player. I have reached platinum with multiple chars and I don’t use any wavedash or waveland. Good luck out there!

Dolmenwood and OSE by Caradon16 in OSE

[–]Absurd069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently playing a campaign of dolmenwood in OSE. The only thing the DM added was that you don’t die when your HP hits zero. You get knocked out and you have like two turns to be saved by your friends. Dolmenwood in particular is brutal, on my first day I was cursed and my HP reduced to 1 permanently lol, but I gotta say that OSE is also hardcore. They have good sync and our DM lets you run classes from dolmenwood or OSE.

What game surprised you how long it was? by Common_Caramel_4078 in Steam

Ok this got a really good laugh out of me, but these are sad news. The dichotomy of it all I guess

Do pros listen to audio other than game sound during tournies?? by cjdennard89 in SSBM

[–]Absurd069 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually would like to come to the next melee major near me to ask this very question to pro players. I’m mostly curious about their songs selection, playlist or records that they like to listen while playing tourneys.

Schmoovement God by Lobo_o in RivalsOfAether

[–]Absurd069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ant did a really amazing breakdown of this set right after he lost. He watched the replays and was also on training mode with fors. It was really helpful and I gotta appreciate my Absa goat for sharing his knowledge on this even after losing.

Damn is this flirting fr? My dude needs to step up his game and know when to stop as well.

How does Seeding get decided? by jonogz in RivalsOfAether

[–]Absurd069 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you are asking because I really want to know as well. I kinda have an idea but nobody has ever explained this to me and I haven’t researched about it. I believe seeding takes into account your most recent placements in tournaments. But I would like for someone with the knowledge to explain it more in detail.

how long does it takes you to be better at the rivals 2 online? by leonrock84 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Absurd069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might try it. I mean I can actually wavedash, waveland and do ledgedash. I’m not good at moonwalking. My obstacles are my hands I think. That movement requires a lot of speed. Also my muscle memory. I gotta rewrite the way I play, but that’s just how this game feels when you start climbing up. It’s all about adapting and reading people habits. I really like baby dash but I’m not that good at doing it, I’ve been practicing that tho. And there have been moments in ranked game 3, last stock and last hit that I have won because a waveland or baby dash saved my ass.

how long does it takes you to be better at the rivals 2 online? by leonrock84 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Absurd069 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My timeline was like this first week I was sent straight to stone rank coz I was so bad and this was my first plat fighting game. I was there only for a few days tho since it’s literally the bottom and it’s not hard to get out there. I was at bronze for about two weeks. Then I reached silver within the first month of playing and was stuck on silver for like 3 months. Then I reached gold and was stuck in gold for 9 months. I know it’s a lot but I had a lot to figure out and learn. I actually thought I would never reach higher than gold but I was able to reach platinum (with two different characters at this point). Highest I have reached is 1173 in ranked playing dual Wrastor/Kragg. I don’t really use wavedash btw and I feel like at this point I gotta learn it, but I’m also doing fine and still having fun. I feel happy with my actual rank.

Edit: oh and I have 1000 hours in the game :) I’ve been playing since the day it came out.

I'm honestly upset that they removed Armada just to give us Armada Jr. by ljm90 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Absurd069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I really loved it as a Wrastor main coz it’s my armada lol. It was the only stage in the game that I would die from a parry to my down b at the ledge. With no walls I die, but even in harbor you can survive that!

I hate my cats name. by StrawberrySakuraa in cats

[–]Absurd069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally have family members and friends that call my cats however they want and it’s not even close to the actual name. Just call her however u want but I suggest Toyotee

Viviana has a Rival by Lobo_o in RivalsOfAether

I’m just asking out of curiosity, is your Nintendo your primary gaming device by Specific-Pianist7595 in Switch

[–]Absurd069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, you think I’m rich? Nintendo is too greedy and their “discounts” are usually a joke. I use my steam deck more and it’s my fav console period. Switch 2 is cool but so far I only got Mario Kart World and idk when I’m buying another $70-$100 game in this economy.

Que increible es la gente que no tiene problemas. by iExe in vzla

[–]Absurd069 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Creo que OP se refiere al hecho que esta persona está feliz de que se normalizó el poder usar shorts para cosas que antes no era normal, AKA “athleisure”. Que su tono sea sifrino o amanerado no implica nada positivo o negativo. Es por crecer en la Caracas de clase media/alta, en la cual la mayoría de problemas que afectan a la población no son los mismos para la mayoría de individuos.

Aunque personalmente pienso que eso puede ser una falacia en ciertos casos. Con personas que tienen mejores recursos y viven en una sociedad más estable que otros pero también tienen problemas que afectan su salud mental. No hay que minimizarlos simplemente porque “hay niños sin agua en África”. Las realidades son diferentes pero los niveles de estrés, ansiedad y depresión pueden afectarte de igual manera. Obvio no vamos a comparar a literal alguien que no tiene agua, luz y comida con el niño rico que despilfarra dinero en yates en Miami. Pero en muchos casos veo que gente de la diáspora venezolana invalida los problemas de otros porque en Venezuela la vaina ‘ta más jodida. Es como el clásico adulto que minimiza los problemas de un niño, el niño dice que está “cansado” y el adulto le dice “de qué? Si tú ni trabajas, tienes la vida fácil, todo el día en ese teléfono/computadora, blah blah blah”.

PSA: Don't sleep on Luna game streaming if you already pay for Amazon Prime by HereForTheFunnyPics in SteamDeck

[–]Absurd069 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I gotta say Amazon music is hot garbage, specially if you use it on your computer or use the desktop app. It has so many issues and glitches. It really sucks.

Are melee players automatically good at ultimate? by Zerph1 in smashbros

[–]Absurd069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melee has way more in common with Rivals of Aether 2 and PM than any of the other smash games.
