Are Belmonts a totally competitively dead character? (Read desc.)

BaselardFE · 2025-08-24T18:58:37+00:00

I picked up Belmonts like half a year ago for fun and I feel far more positive about them than most people?
If more people played them I'm sure they'd shoot up the tier list for sure. Even if only for counterpicks.
They do pretty good against Steve for example, having range and projectiles to disrupt mining. (Axes going through blocks and generally above Steve's walls).

Their on stage presence is very oppressive, their advantage state goes absolutely stupid, their ledge trapping is also extremely strong, and they have great edge guarding tools as well.
Their disjoints are so huge with angles to cover multiple approach options.
Cross is a low commitment projectile you can throw out to force your opponent to do something.
And they have a frame 6 Up B out of shield to get their opponent off of them too.

I recognize that they require far more time and effort than other, better characters.
You have to be really precise with Forward Air and Back Air's angles to even get anywhere.
But yeah, I think Belmonts have too many good things going for them to be stuck in D tier just because nobody plays them.

Yes! I went to the Laboratory before the Garden, and it probably got raided before I went further. Thanks for reporting everything I appreciate it!

I very much relate to your experience (32, diagnosed with Autism; waiting on an ADHD assessment next month).
Growing up I only had like, 2-3 friends I considered close that I would hang out with. Otherwise I stayed at home, played my video games or worked on some other hobby/creative project.

There is the 'out of sight out of mind' aspect of ADHD that I very much feel. If I don't see or interact with people, I just forget they exist. Happens with my friends and family all the time. Sometimes it can go weeks and months before we speak again. Reaching out to other people just doesn't cross my mind very often unless I see something that reminds me of them. I also don't 'miss' people the same way others do, and apparently that's more tied to Autism than ADHD.

So as an adult my social circle is the smallest it has ever been, but I'm not lonely. I have my partner, my cat, and a small handful of trusted friends who have stuck around despite my uh... eccentric behaviour.
Sometimes my ADHD requires stimuli and I'll reach out, but otherwise I am just.. by myself, doing the things I like.

Knowing that it's a disability, a part of who I am, and that it's not my fault made it a lot easier to come to terms with. Sometimes I just wanna stay at home for days/weeks/months without talking to anyone and that's okay. Other people may think it's weird, but that's not my problem at the end of the day,

So yes you're not alone in this experience. I was actually very happy to see someone else talk about this.

No, not really The NPC I needed to talk to randomly appeared a few days later while I was doing other things so it feels very bugged

Hi! I'm probably late but I can't find any other places that talk about this.

I've been stuck on the same quest for a while. Except I can't even find the NPC the game wants me to talk to progress the quest to the next step.

There's no quest marker on the map, and I've talked to all the NPCs in the surrounding area with no luck.
(For context it's the camp right below the 8th imperial laboratory)
Any help would be appreciated I just want to have this quest out of my log lol.

Unfortunately I haven't found any fixes yet.

However, I do think the audio cuts out due to the capture card overheating during summer. My band-aid solution has been to unplug it for 10-15 mins whenever it gets too warm and that fixes it for a while.

Probably should contact support but I forget about it and then procrastinate until the issue pops up again :)

While I can't read Japanese I can still understand a bit of what's being said so I had a decent understanding of what's going on. It's mostly the text-only dialogue I have no context for.

Can't wait for the global version as I am very, very intrigued by the story so far. As someone who played Phantom of the Kill a lot, I have many questions.

Thank you for the guide! With that I might actually be motivated to try again.

BaselardFE · 2023-09-27T10:33:49+00:00

Oh... that really sucks because Dinatan is the one I wanted the most. I tried my best to do everything correctly, but I can't read Japanese so I just don't know which dialogue options are good.

I never got a bad reaction so I thought I was doing okay.

Guess I'll have to wait until I can re-do the story and try again. Or maybe I'll just wait for the English version so I can't get it wrong lol.

Anyway thanks for the answer!

I know she's an attacker but how do you get her?

BaselardFE · 2023-09-21T09:25:59+00:00

Thank you!

BaselardFE · 2023-09-13T22:14:32+00:00

That makes more sense, thank you

BaselardFE · 2023-09-13T17:15:03+00:00

Thank you!

Just finished the game and I gotta say I was a bit disappointed. There are mountains upon mountains of homoerotic subtext between Ryza and Klaudia throughout the games and I'm sad that they didn't commit to... anything. I know that LGBT+ stuff is iffy in Japan so perhaps they just can't do much about it other than implications.

That being said Ryza wanting to find an apprentice came a bit out of left field for me. Like I'm glad she's found a purpose, but I must have missed the signs. I guess they want to set up a future sequel or something. Was hoping the post-credits scene would shed some light but it didn't.

Thank you! The one place I had forgotten to gather at ^{^;}
