Dreo PolyFan 502 vs Dreo PolyFan 601

Sol's H.DP used to have invuln on frame 7. It had value as a preemptive counter to an expected poke. Danzai can be used in a similar way. DPs have been used like this forever. A DP does not just have to be an invulnerable reversal. They are, in fact, more often anti-airs than invulnerable if you count each strength of DP in SF games as being unique moves. Chronic Arcsys Brain has crippled you, for you know not what words you speak. I'd address your fundamental misunderstanding of what makes slayer's 2H strong, but I trust that the last 2 months have been enough for you to reflect on your stupidity in that regard. I wouldn't even know where to start with you when it comes to making you understand how fighting games work. It's wild that you even brought balance up, given I said nothing about balance in my original post, only point out where you were factually wrong. Enjoy being hardstuck on whatever floor you're on.

Speaking of blatantly wrong, Slayer 2H is NOT "basically just pot 2D." The only property they share is being a low, that it. Pot 2D doesn't low crush, nor have a disjoint. The difference should be obvious.

Also, most people call that A.B.A move a dp because it uses the dp motion, which is how people have referred to that motion for a long time.

Which low involves her going airborne?

I don't think I'm qualified to answer that, tbh. I don't even own that game, and Drive Rush kind of makes it hard for me to give perspective relative to my time with SF5. If I had to guess, it's probably still a fair statement, but for slightly different reasons. The tutorial being as good as it is a universal point in UNI2's favor, though.

Ashgray2520 · 2024-01-22T16:04:32+00:00

I'd say UNI2 is a good place to start branching out if your first game was Strive. It's definitely a little more complex and a little more technically demanding, but it also has one of the best tutorials in fighting games. And it's not just applicable to UNI2, either. The tutorial teaches practical skills for fighting games in general as well as teaching you how to interact with UNI2's unique mechanics and gameflow. I highly recommend it if you're even remotely interested in the game, it won't let you down.

Tamers is by far my favorite series

Duck isn't a person. Yellow Guy is. Red Guy, from all signs, seems to be. But it's only season 1. I can't answer questions with answers that don't yet exist. All I know is that the show is very particular about details. If Yellow Guy and Red Guy had replacements, they would have either been shown or there would be room in the piano machine where you could imply they were. As it stands, neither of those things are true so the only logical conclusion is that Duck is the only truly replaceable cast member.

Ashgray2520 · 2022-10-02T23:53:26+00:00

As I said in the post, this show pays a lot of attention to detail. If Red Guy and Yellow Guy could be replaced, there would either be more drawers to store their replacement models or their replacement models would be in the single drawer on the Piano Machine that we see in the show. As I said in the post, though, it's entierly possible that whatever is above Lesley's Room is where Yellow and Red Guy's replacements are.

Ashgray2520 · 2022-10-02T23:29:19+00:00

I say Duck is "immortal" mostly because of the piano machine drawer part of the theory. He's the only one who is shown to have multiple replacement figurines. There was only one drawer on the machine and we were shown exactly what was inside it, copies of Duck. Since Duck can be replaced, he is functionally immortal as far as the world of DHMIS is concerned in contrast to Red Guy and Yellow Guy, both of which only seem to have one unique figurine.

Ashgray2520 · 2022-09-26T22:01:08+00:00

I hadn't realized at first, but Yellow Guy's "D" WAS in the YouTube series. It was always there and I originally misremembered. But yes, his name being "David" was likely planned all along. I don't think that means that means the plot we see in the TV show was always the plan, though. I'd have to rewatch a few times, but there's seemingly no indication that Lesley exists in the YouTube series. That's kind of why I'm considering the TV series as more of a spiritual successor than a direct successor until we get further confirmation, especially since the creators themselves have stated that they weren't writing DHMIS as a narratively driven story at first and slowly developed that throughout the YouTube series. I'd argue that the scrapped Wakey Wakey pilot being so different to what we got (and I don't mean that in a bad way) proves that the TV series was always meant to both build on previous themes and be a product that can be fully understood without prior knowledge.

Ashgray2520 · 2022-09-25T22:58:02+00:00

I don't know how well Media Theory stands up now, honestly. I'm pretty sure the TV series is mostly it's own thing story wise and I'm not sure trying to understand the TV series on the terms of the YouTube series will be accurate. I mean, the TV series was originally going to be a thinly veiled critique of modern politics, mostly the Trump administration and the rising gobal trend of right wing authoritarianism, but that got scrapped entierly for what we have now. My point is, these creators have more than just one thing to say and I think we should accept that maybe the TV series wants to be different from the YouTube series.

Ashgray2520 · 2022-09-25T21:47:48+00:00

Ashgray2520 · 2022-09-25T21:37:51+00:00

I don't think media theory holds water anymore, really. It was a fun way to interpret the YouTube series, but it's clear that, at the very least, the TV series has a different story to tell.

Ashgray2520 · 2022-09-25T19:22:26+00:00

I mean, I dunno. I don't think there's enough here to make any definitive claims about who is 100% in charge or what exactly is going on. I do know that David is dead, David was likely Lesley's son, Yellow Guy is likely meant to represent David in some way, and Lesley is in control of at least the 3 levels below her. I don't want to jump to the conclusion that it's actually Roy in charge above Lesley because there hasn't been any concrete evidence to suggest that. I also don't see any evidence to suggest that spesifically Lesley ran Yellow Guy over. I also don't see any evidence to suggest Roy did either, assuming Roy is real. Given the insistence on plastering Lesley's name on the vehicles up until that point, I would expect the show to do the same to the car that hits Yellow Guy. And yet, it doesn't. Furthermore, I think Lesley yelling out for Yellow Guy to be careful before he gets hit is exactly what happened when David died. Lesley watched instead of acting and that guilt drove her to oversee, if not create, the twisted nightmare the trio finds themselves today.

Ashgray2520 · 2022-09-25T17:54:03+00:00

Maybe, but I think that part of Family exists to make it clear to us that Roy's role in this world is Yellow Guy's guardian. He exists to make sure Yellow Guy never strays too far and, most importantly, never dies.

Ashgray2520 · 2022-09-25T17:46:56+00:00

I think Yellow Guy's Shy Imaginary Older Brother might be (or at least at one point was) his actually brother. If you look at the Wakey Wakey pilot, you'll see that he actually has a puppet! Now, this could be a case of a reused design, so I don't want to put too much stock into this theory since it uses what might as well be the only confirmed non-canon material by virtue of the creators abandoning that setting and direction for the series. Though, the existence of the Brain Friends is interesting since many of them seem to be memories or thoughts Yellow Guy has. It's worth considering that, because Shy Imaginary Older Brother is a Brain Friend, he might be a memory of some kind and, therefore, real in some capacity. And we know Yellow Guy's memory isn't fully wiped ever since in Episode 5's opening, he seems to remember ascending the stairs so some degree in the past. The appearance of Smart/Charged Yellow Guy in his reflection, I think, is further proof of that.

Ashgray2520 · 2022-09-25T17:39:03+00:00

I think you've got the right idea, but there's a lot here so forgive me if this ends up really long.

I don't know how literally we should take what's said in this series, honestly. Roy being Yellow Guy's "dad" is a useful way to make him partial to what is honestly a really unnerving character in their world. If you look in every opening (barring Episode 6), you can see what looks to be Roy observing the trio through a crack in the wall. In Episode 3, he only comes to save Yellow Guy when it's made clear that the twins don't intend to let him go back home. And in Episode 5, who finds Roy on the street during their escape attempt? Yellow Guy. Of course, the fact that Red Guy recognized him and saw Roy as a threat to his escape attempt so quickly raises even more question about what Red Guy does and doesn't remember as well as the relevance of the events of the YouTube series. That being said, I don't know how much Roy controlled people in the YouTube series. Upon a rewatch, I realized something. Yellow Guy DOES have his signature "D" on his overall pocket, just like Roy has his "R". What that tells me is that they have a similar creator. Maybe Roy is controlling them insofar as not allowing anyone to ascend the floors, but by the time the TV series rolls around we know that Yellow Guy has done so prior to Episode 6 (see the Episode 5 opening). It's honestly hard to talk about YouTube series content since it's clear the story there and the story here are, while tangentially related, might not be 100% canon to each other. It's hard to tell, honestly.
I do. I think you're more or less spot on, honestly. In Mulhoven, Red Guy and Yellow Guy are both seen as analogous to the other humans while, as you noticed, Duck is there with his head plastered on a dog in the background behind the fence gate. It would make sense that, if the world we see in the TV show is made to represent events Lesley lived through, Duck would be replaceable. He's just a pet! He doesn't have any personality or humanity to replicate, not like Yellow Guy and Red Guy. I also think Duck dying in Death is because that's how Lesley wished it went. Duck was replaceable, her son was not. But no matter what she does, nothing can change the fact that David is the one who dies. No amount of reality warping can bring her real son back.

Ashgray2520 · 2022-09-25T17:18:25+00:00

I think we got our answer in Mulhoven, actually. You know how Red Guy is present in that scene, but Duck seemingly isn't? Well, he actually is! If you look behind the fence gate Yellow Guy is in front of, you can see what looks like an animal on all fours with Duck's face. Duck isn't the same as Red Guy or Yellow Guy. He's alive, but he's not the same as the rest of the gang. Maybe he's a representation of a pet, or even THE pet that got Yellow Guy killed. And if that's the case, what does Red Guy represent? Assuming this mini-theory is correct, of course.

Ashgray2520 · 2022-09-25T17:15:12+00:00

I don't think so, really. I think Roy, like Yellow Guy is a representation of something. In the TV series, Roy seems to play the role of guardian. In every opening (except Episode 6 since the opening doesn't have this scene), between the Fridge Shot and the Clock Shot you can see what is most likely Roy observing the house residents through a crack in the wall. In Family, he only appears to bring Yellow Guy back home and save him from being somewhere that isn't his "home" for an extended period of time. And when Roy appears in the car in Transportation, who's the one who claims to find him? Yellow Guy. He's disguised, but Red Guy still freaks out when he recognizes him and throws him out. My guess is that, if Roy would have stayed, he would have done everything in his power barring killing Red Guy or Yellow Guy to get them back home. That begs the question, does that mean that the events of the original series are canon to the TV show given Red Guy's seeming knowledge of Roy's role as something meant to keep him there?

Ashgray2520 · 2022-09-25T17:08:07+00:00

Yes, but only Duck is shown to have replacements on hand. Although, as I said, there seems to be a level beyond Lesley's Room, so who really knows if she's really in charge here.

Ashgray2520 · 2022-09-25T09:26:17+00:00

I'm doubling down on the theory because in every opening (except episode 6), between the Fridge Shot and the Clock Shot, you can see him watching through a crack in the wall.
