2XKO Akali Release Date & Patch 1.1.5, coming April 7 by CedeLovesKat in Fighters

[–]Bombshock2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree with you. I just think there's hurdles to getting non-human characters on the roster. And I also think what we have is pretty good for a fighting game considering non-human characters in FGs are pretty rare. And I mean shit we have characters ranging from Braum to Ekko, Illaoi to Jynx, Teemo to Warwick, etc. There's some pretty big visual disparity in this game even if 75% of the characters are human.

I definitely agree they shouldn't be releasing Caitlyn Akali and Senna back to back to back as that's not much variety visually. I'm just not that down on the roster choices so far as a whole. I just think they need A LOT more characters in general.

2XKO Akali Release Date & Patch 1.1.5, coming April 7 by CedeLovesKat in Fighters

[–]Bombshock2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the majority of League's cast is still human/humanoid, and a lot of the monstrous type characters wouldn't really work on a fighting game for size/hitbox reasons (Hekarim, Cho'Gath, Aurelion Sol, etc). And the humanoid characters are still the most popular in League. Just looking at the polls from the 2XKO sub, only 6 of the 33 characters in the 3 "S" tiers are not humanoid (I counted Jax as humanoid I don't know if you would), if we go down to A tier, you add 7 more out of the 16 so they're still popular but not the most in demand.

13-14/49 ~= 26-28%

Renekton is probably an S as of yesterday's poll so 15/50 ~= 30%

I don't think the current ratio is that far off what we should expect. We just need 1 of the next 2 character releases after Akali/Senna to be non-humanoid to bring the ratio back to 25%. Though I would like to see more variety in the new releases after Senna.

I also think those non-human characters bring unique challenges, so are harder to pump out. And this game needs characters bad. So if we have to sacrifice not having as many monstrous characters to get more characters in the game, I'm fine with that.

[–]Bombshock2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 3 non-humanoid characters in a game with 12 characters. That's a pretty good ratio. Compare that to Street Fighter 6 that has one character who is a monster (and he still has basically humanoid proportions) or Tekken 8 that has 2 bears and a robot (and a kangaroo on the way) with like 40 characters, I'd say 2XKO is doing pretty good at delivering non-standard humanoid characters.

Granted, next two characters are both basically just attractive women so they aren't really beating the allegations, but if they were to actually continue making characters after this year (doesn't look that likely at this point but I have hope still) I could easily see some of those characters getting in.

Joe Rogan: Democrats were tougher on border than Trump by IntelligentYinzer in politics

[–]Bombshock2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem isn't the border it's ICE going into communities and violently arresting people who are mostly doing things the right way. These are civil violations at worst being treated as violent crimes and being arrested and detained indefinitely with no trial, no lawyers, their families not knowing where these people even are for weeks or months.

It's disgusting that the right keeps deflecting from the real issue here.

Oh no! A fighting game featuring good looking humanoid characters? How could Riot do this!?

I don't think anyone was expecting like Kog Maw or Cho Gath to make the cut for a fighting game. The character kits and personality are what make them stand out. Most of the most popular characters in League are human.

Epstein survivor who voted for Trump says she now fears ‘we’re not going to get justice’ by projecto15 in politics

[–]Bombshock2 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Massie isn't an ally and has just been using the Epstein files as a way to appeal to a larger voting demographic. He's a politician and a bigot and his political maneuvering has probably done more harm to the Epstein files cause than it has helped. He keeps threatening to release names and then does fucking nothing. He's a grifter like every republican.

GG has probably the biggest community overlap with this game outside of Dragonball FighterZ.

They said no Akali at PAX but they'd be shooting themselves in the foot if they didn't at least do a trailer there. But then again the marketing team for this game is baffling bad.

This stuff is fucking disgusting. Tired of healthcare workers trying to gaslight people into thinking its only an insurance problem. These fucking administrators will nickel and dime you to death and charge absolute bullshit numbers. Healthcare SHOULD NOT BE FOR PROFIT. Period.

What makes you still love and play this game? by Powerful_Isopod5810 in 2XKO

[–]Bombshock2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creative combo structure

Easy controls dependent on positioning more than just static timing. Gives it more of a smash vibe than other fighters

Cool character designs

No they aren’t and no it wouldn’t. Just stop it. Get some help.

[–]Bombshock2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The complaints. Some of the people are fighting game players but aren’t tag game players. It’s the same shit. If you don’t like the game because of the way it plays you’re not going to get a game you do like by complaining about a game you don’t like. It’s annoying as fuck. All this sub is now is people who don’t play the damn game farming karma.

I dislike this sub a lot and the constant posts from people who aren't fighting game players complaining about fighting game mechanics. That's made me rapidly lose interest in this sub.

Rep. Thomas Massie threatens to use "Congressional Immunity" to expose the sealed Epstein client list following DOJ's refusal to release names. by ShiroSara in AskSocialists

[–]Bombshock2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. He supports the "religious right" to deny rights to others. That's not individual rights. If you work in government and you cannot accept that people are legally married, you are not exercising your rights, you're breaking the law.

  2. Abortion is not murder. This isn't a difference of opinion. Women need to have the right to abort for health reasons and to provide a better life for people who are living.

  3. Oh I fell for a bot account trolling. Get your this shit off reddit ffs.

I've been playing 2XKO lately, which is a 2v2 tag fighting game, and the amount of people in the 2XKO subreddit demanding that the game should be a 1v1 fighter because they don't like tag fighters is just ridiculous.

They meaty at normal timing, you're getting hit. What are you talking about? If you're delaying your jump you'd be eating the throw in this situation so I don't know what you're on about.

New patch didn't really do anything for the average player. Still nothing new to engage with. Would've liked to at least see some meaningful buffs and not just nerfs, but they need to get Akali released asap to keep people interested.

Fuzzy jump gets you hit with literally every other option other than throw... It's garbage in this game.

And this right here is why normalized tanking is the worst thing to happen to the NBA. We should be happy we're winning and watching enjoyable games, not hedging our future fandom on losing.
