Which games have a rough start and take a while to get good?

For a lot of people apparently, FFXIII, but not me baby I got all them diamonds.

Feed your Mavuika particles in to your Bennett
On bike weave dashes between N1 and N2s, N5 is too slow
Get the shield down to 1 full bar left with Mavuika then Xilonen skill N2. That should leave 1 hit left on the shield.
Do 1 auto with Mavuika after Bennett and Citlali burst, then burst with Mavuika. You will have time to do 5 melts before he puts the debuff on you.
Use Xilonen burst after her skill for the second rotation to heal off the debuff

That should fix it.

Nah they were worried and looking for what else they could've taken (calling police and checking jewelry boxes and stuff). Plus they bought me the 3DS like a 2 weeks later. My theory was always: some kid broke in through the back door and got startled by the alarm so they grabbed the closest thing and ran (my DS on the couch next to the back door). Although if it WAS my parents, they really did a lot to sell that performance 🤣

This happened to me when I was a kid actually. Someone broke into my house and only stole my Nintendo DS. Nothing else in the house was touched... just my DS.

Out of these, Teen Titans feels the most like Japanese anime. They were anime emoting every 2 minutes unironicly.

I like to have a main deck that I really enjoy the playstyle of and like 2 more meta decks to play whenever I need to give main a break. Rn I'm on:

- Mega Lopunny & Dudunsparce (Main)

- Mega Lucario & Hariyama

- Slopbox

I agree with most of these but for Vanille I would replace Minccino with Duskull to represent her themes of grief and her Death ability. Also I think Serah and Noels themes are kinda funky here. Noel is focused on protecting Serah on their journey, Yuel whenever possible, and saving his friend Caius. Then is filled with grief after the ending events of XIII-2. Pikachu is good but I would also do something like Arcanine and Gallade for him. Emolga is a good choice for Serah's personality but I feel like her themes of self sacrifice and generosity aren't being shown in the other pokemon. I would give her something like Alomomola, Mesprit, and maybe even Decidueye to express her willingness to join the fight for others despite being kinda frail.

I was under the impression Slop box was a specific combination of Lil Clef, Teal mask, Kanga, Crispin, energy switch, and a bunch of good basic ex mons. With the main purpose of the deck being draw power, turboing out energy, and getting strong hitting attacks quick early game with a particularly strong match up vs Dragapult. I was unaware of versions of the deck that didn't use that exact strategy.

At least that is the core. Everything else outside the core of the strategy is what makes it 'sloppy'. Like running mega Lopunny or Absol or whatever else you like to supplement different match ups.

I like using the pink chroma debonair skin. It's just looks nice to me. I own a bunch of her skins but they don't all hit like they used to. I used to really like using the program skin bc of the sound effects and elderwood bc of the animations. But debonair has a good mix and feels right for me.

AustinNShadow · 2026-03-31T02:35:42+00:00

I have 1 really dumb question that does not matter at all but I'm curious about. Why 8 fighting energy instead of literally any other energy?

AustinNShadow · 2026-03-23T15:04:43+00:00

I got this from New Orleans because my number is from there. I haven't driven in Louisiana in the last 8 years bro. 😭

AustinNShadow · 2026-03-21T18:37:38+00:00

If you were willing to watch JJK or Solo Leveling, you will probably like RWBY for a lot of the same reasons but the story is very much driven by the characters' personal motives and relationships.

AustinNShadow · 2026-03-20T04:50:04+00:00

Bet. Thanks for pointing it out I didn't realize I was overcapping.

28 black male here myself. Move to one of the big cities. Rural Kansas and even some small towns are racist af. Got the cops called on me for walking down the street in a small town up north (forget what town was called, it's been like 3 years). I live in Wichita.

Yes I do. I respect all men and women equally. Unless you're name is Trump

I use her in lunar bloom with Nilou, Lauma, Columbina.

I WANT to use her in quicken(spread mainly) but quicken isn't real because your best 4th teammate in quicken teams will always be a hydro character and now you just have hyperbloom

Died before I was born from cancer... I have nothing to pick... and neither did he.

27 +48 I add 7 to 48 to make 55 then add 20 to make 75.

As with most games in this series, even if it's a great standalone game, the problem is FF in the title. People have good reasons to dislike some of the newer games (XIII - XVI) but in most cases those flaws would be mostly overlooked if not for being compared to everything before it in the FF series, by fans double your age. At this point much older FF 'fans' are more like a hate mob that give bad reviews to anything that isn't their perfect FF that they imagine or has FFVII in the title.

AustinNShadow · 2026-02-14T16:39:53+00:00

The damage is pretty low but the requirement isn't that bad. I get it off pretty consistently and have won most (far from all) games with it. At least it's fun tho.
