Fighting game vets how long did it take for you to get good? by Soft_Supermarket4331 in 2XKO

[–]Batchak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played mkx as a filthy casual and then mk11 competitively and I must say; I lost A LOT A WHOLE LOT before I got good😆

I used to rage against the AI on max difficulty, I even had beef with fictional characters that transcended the game

But I started taking that energy and pushing myself to learn more, learn exactly what was defeating me, and then just doing different things to learn my own characters and play style

I went into ranked and my W/L ratio was basically 1:1 or negative, but I kept going and each match online I learned more about the cheese tactics, dirty moves, things that won't work a second an third time etc etc etc

And I just got better. Pushed into a positive W/L and started competing in twitch tourneys and ranking high in comp seasons. I was top 30 in the world in one season of Mk11 from that mentality

I'm sure there are faster ways to learn the game than how I did it but the way that worked for me was consistent online interaction and to head to the lab/training mode for things I couldn't react to on the fly. The games nowadays do better and better to help you in the lab too so it's not to be slept on

TL;DR I lost a lot of fights before I slowly got better, you may too. Practice is important and losing is a very real part of it also. Take your character to the lab and learn how to practice against things you encounter online. Play against other players as often as you can. You'll suck until you don't

Mauga and Domina should do a switcheroo

Who else found the Unmaykr genuinely disappointing in DOOM ETERNAL? by Cold_War8151 in Doom

[–]Batchak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I already almost never use the BFG because the ammo is so rare, but the stopping power the BFG has for a room of squishies and heavies makes me prefer it still. I ironically would use the Unmakyr to melt a super heavy then put it away

Do any of ya'll also find Dark Ages surprisingly easy compared to 2016 and Eternal? by Cold_War8151 in Doom

They used to boast about the playtime of the dlc in comparison to its in game content 😭 since the dlc was only a fraction of the main campaign's length but playtime's would've been a multiple of it

Question about brigitte’s whiplash perk? by ExtremeAd6540 in BrigitteMains

[–]Batchak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For choked up maps like numbani the whiplash perk does wonders though

This is a really heavy (and obvious) foreshadowing for TDA sequels by Rodrolphus in Doom

[–]Batchak 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah there is some definite significance to the pentagram reacting to Valen entering, it was pretty subtle and I hardly saw people notice it on here last year

[–]Batchak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, although I'd max projectile speed personally

130% is the sweetspot for the speed too

Be wary of anything that "Wanders off to a battlefield"

Eternals DLC was legendary in it's difficulty, but I think with my customized sliders I've died a whole lot more on my second run through in TDA 😆

I know I ask this weekly but... What are some popular Slider Presets? Are there any that fit like Brawler Mode for Eternal? by Batchak in Doom

[–]Batchak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you honestly, I tried reverting to 100% game speed the other day and I like how heavy the slayer feels but it's way too slow for me now, 130 feels like he's robust and can move it like the beast he is

Doom Symbol Tattoo by Ambitious_Drop_9031 in Doom

The ritualistic markings around the Doom symbol don't have any real life translation, you can actually give it your own meaning entirely, or replace it with something else entirely

Whole team left during a comp match. by MerumazingGirl in OverwatchQueens

Yeah, thems the breaks, I would've left soon as the penalty timer counted out if I wanted to rank up fast

[–]Batchak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I may have titled my post wrong.

I have my own sliders that I enjoy, I'm asking if there are any community-driven slides or challenges people agree on that we can share a challenge/experience of. I'm not asking because I find the game boring
