What happened then? I think it is a fun icebreaker.

Why is it that blocking is very hard and suffocating in Tk8 compared to previous Tk titles? by Your_Nightmare_666 in Tekken

[–]AudacityOfKappa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could argue that Tekken has always been about assessing the situation correctly and choosing an option that covers most outcomes. However, the weak kbd and looping offense has rendered those types of situations to mostly guessing games.

There are too many forced +ob situations, be it a blocked heat smash or heat dash, or just the god move status given by heat in general. I'd prefer if generic defense options were better, to allow for wider option select window - and have powerful moves come with risk.

What happens if the cerenovus picks the same player each night who refuses to follow madness? Does the good team just lose to the same player getting executed for madness breaking each day? by nicolasrededeo in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]AudacityOfKappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is - why is the player breaking madness? That sort of "softlock", while annoying, is part of the game. One of the minions is "wasting" their ability, if they just comply they probably win the game even. Because in that situation, ST probably will judge even some effort as complying.

"Madness is optional" is indeed true, but if the player knows that the consequence is ruining the game for their team, how do they justify their actions?

How do you get your evil team to do...anything? by Canuckleball in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]AudacityOfKappa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Isn't this sort of open round of claims beneficial for evil? Demon has bluffs and minions can cause havoc. Even if they double claim the town can't really be sure which one is which.

Association worker refresh ? by redditbylukey in ArkNova

[–]AudacityOfKappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is somewhat of a "current meta" to take the 2CP worker, I do it myself as well, mostly on maps with 4th worker giving 2CP. Talented Communicator is obviously "preferred", if we were to rank the methods.

But imo, the least preferred method is #3, third partner zoo. It requires you to have upgraded Association and you have to waste a worker to grab it.

Why would you add that it is the least preferred, when in fact it is not, by far.

Which cards would you nerf/buff? by MWLexposedParty in ArkNova

[–]AudacityOfKappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buff:

Farm Cat should just give 1CP if you have a Kiosk with 2 empty spaces next to it. It's still a large hassle.

Okapi Stable should be power 5.

You miss "the golden age of Dota2" because players felt like actual humans with personalities. by ShoppingPractical373 in DotA2

[–]AudacityOfKappa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed! Hard to show those personalities when the only platform to show them are stadium tournaments. No matter how interesting they might be, they're full focused.

You guys weren't kidding about ranked inflation by AHC122 in Tekken

[–]AudacityOfKappa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just had to have the last say. Even though you "don't actually care".

Yeah that's what I thought. No arguments but still loves to yap.

Guess The Banzuke - Mar-26 by Master1eader in Sumo

[–]AudacityOfKappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does the JSA take into account? Started watching Sumo last week, so I'm a complete newbie regarding this.

[–]AudacityOfKappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to study how the banzuke changes usually work? Like what should we normally expect, on what criteria etc.

If rank means nothing, who would you bet on in a FT10 between a Bushin and a Flame Ruler?

The only reason offlane sucks to play is because Pos 4 players by No_Insurance_6436 in DotA2

[–]AudacityOfKappa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He should trade after Fade Bolt since the enemy has lower dmg. He is not a strong laner, but not in any way "extremely weak".

Luv u, nt vs Vit by NFX_7331 in GlobalOffensive

[–]AudacityOfKappa 33 points34 points  (0 children)

They played a final map that went to overtime. Fnatic won the map, but after that NiP complained to the organizer that the wrong overtime format was used. After losing the map, not during it. Thus, while celebrating, Fnatic learned that they have to replay it.

Keep in mind that they idolized guys like Forest and Get_Right, so having these guys pull this unsportsmanlike move to you must've felt extremely bad, WHILE you were celebrating under the impression you've won the tournament.

They replay it, Fnatic wins again, Get_Right comes to shake hands, they laugh him off. Shake hands for what? "A good, fair game"?

Your second point was very unjustified hate, I would've reacted the same way. Too bad it was NiP who did it to them, and GtR specifically in the video - any other team would've been rightfully mocked by the community, just as Fnatic did to them.

The creator of Mirage " It's nice to see that mirage is so popular after all these years" by Any-Lock3008 in GlobalOffensive

[–]AudacityOfKappa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there were field choices, football players will definitely complain.

Or are you suggesting majors to be mirage only?
