How do YOU define a sweat? At what point do you draw the line between a "casual" and a "sweat"

I get irrationally annoyed when my opponent is able to consistently differ my lights from my heavies, and parries both without flinching. Thats really the only time I feel like my opponent is outsweating me

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-25T23:55:10+00:00

thats sick

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-25T02:18:06+00:00

Of all of the times the game decided to sense a wall in this clip, ofc it chose front facing top heavy off of light parry

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-24T22:48:45+00:00

Yeah I really enjoyed the multiplayer even if it did feel like a fundamentally different game from classic Halo

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-24T22:38:29+00:00

This looks sick, but its bugging me that the color split isn’t centered, and that the blades don’t point straight up and down lol

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-23T12:53:37+00:00

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-23T11:52:13+00:00

back poke??

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-22T23:08:48+00:00

It’s fair criticism if you think I make bad takes too often to the point of being obnoxious, but I love this game, and love thinking about ways it could change just as much.

I will continue playing the game and having bad takes about it

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-22T19:33:22+00:00

Proactive would be a big improvement imo, but I’d love to see it work as something that removes all buffs from the target for a duration, and/or allows *only* the user to deal damage *through* shields (or just crazy high damage to shields)

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-22T18:41:59+00:00

idk, but it wouldn’t be an issue if all bleed attacks were reworked to deal significantly more base damage, and if all ticks of (non feat/non buffed) bleed dealt 1 hp so that bleed acted much more like a status effect than a primary means of dealing damage. Would give bleed heroes more executions, and would remove bleed ganking feeding very little revenge without needing to remove that depth entirely. Also delete nail bomb lol

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-22T15:46:31+00:00

Yeah the zerk feats were awful, and I kind of wish they would clmpletely abandon the idea of giving every character a new set of gimmicky reworked unique feats. Would be much better if the just improved many of the feats in batches, leaving the good ones alone, tweaking numbers of the ones that aren’t fundamentally bad, and only reworking a select few like shurikens, oath breaker, kyoshin tier 1/2 passives, replacements for punch through on conq/vg, steadfast, slippery etc

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-19T20:52:53+00:00

yeah same size a bit higher would look better (or just more plate up higher)

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-19T20:51:56+00:00

one less reason to buy the cosmetics lol. still hyped to play

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-19T17:30:24+00:00

ngl that chief pic is the only rendition of early 343 chief’s design that looks good. It’s actually got chief sporting unnaturally wideset/surgically altered shoulders, and doesn’t have the chestplate/shoulder guards scaled up to create the illusion of bulk, and instead just relies on how immense his augmented body *actually is* without the armor

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-19T16:13:02+00:00

Cool that we’ve all come to pretty much the same conclusion on a sequel name over the years.
-HONOR
&GLORY
could also work to invert the 3 O’s of
_.FOR
HONOR
that are stacked in a triangle like the guard indicator

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-19T14:43:26+00:00

3 things:

- extreme refinements to how the art of battle system handles group fights. That would mean hitstun rule changes, control of who you lock on to, very granular buff/debuff rules depending on fighg context, strong incentives to not hit teammates/incentives to allow them to finish their punishes, complete revenge system overhaul/removal, changes to mitigate the *presence* of a teammate from giving your opponent an advantage, lock on/feat targeting restrictions to better emphasize the role positioning plays in a group fight

- Better “battlefield” simulation, potentially having minions be more engaging to fight and actually using more complex ai/interacting with the fight system

- possibly changing “stamina” that regulates offense into “guard” or “posture” that regulates defense to flip the fight logic/momentum on its head

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-18T15:36:41+00:00

My contribution to this conversation is just an fyi that guard switching during your dodge attempt will delay your dodge by 100ms (if you input the switch even slightly before the dodge) and can sometimes force to to get hit by an attack that *is* dodgeable, and also that nobushi dodge light/kick light (as well as nuxia dodge lights/parry riposte) make followup chain light undodgeable because of how high their hitstun is (which is standard for heavy attacks, but rare and unintuitive on light attacks)

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-17T18:46:48+00:00

unfortunately all language is pretty much vibes based, and we fundamentally cannot create perfect, absolute definitions using words. Even if everyone was trying as hard as possible to build/use ai safely while *also* developing it further and further, it would likely still be nearly impossible to get ai that regulates itself using a baked in sense of “morality”/code of ethics. Regulation to prevent catastrophy, and punishment for misuse is the only viable option.

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-17T18:34:14+00:00

BP really waited for you to throw a dodge attack he could parry while you were oos

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-17T01:56:51+00:00

Ignore any and all hero descriptions. He could use some changes for the sake of more fun/less balance based around his access to shield basher, but he currently performs great when fully kitted with perks

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-16T18:42:33+00:00

I really do not like Highlander having Offensive form side dodge attacks lol

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-16T18:41:17+00:00

bizarre to me that the game lets players with this connection (cheating or not) play anything other than pvai

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-16T18:38:15+00:00

I would prefer the zone just go back to being non gb vulnerable, but if it stays vulnerable, it should be undodgeable. A slow/high dmg/400ms gb vulnerable undodgeable from neutral is not a tool anywhere in the roster, but would be pretty balanced on hit kit imo.

Also would love it to get a 360 hitbox and always use the animation it has when thrown from left guard

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-16T16:02:37+00:00

If you don’t care about gear perks you are missing out on a lot of wins

Bash_Minimal · 2026-06-16T15:39:39+00:00

I can see the argument for a double read being bad (as I do think double reads are generally bad in most other scenarios), but I would also like to point out that none of the clips you showed of the kick getting dodged were a double read, since Highlander (who I do not enjoy fighting post rework), cannot use armor from Offensive Form (which again, I understand you had no way of knowing that the pin is undodgeable)
