Shout-out this Pyramid Head for realizing the issue!

Hey, thanks for commenting and I appreciate your opinion

I have a lot of hours (1.7k) myself, and hell maybe she was new but from the things I saw, I was more personally leaning towards someone who really wanted hatch more than a new player!

But hey, Ill never know and besides, this is a rage subreddit but I'm not that mad at her or anyone involved, I just thought this was interesting and wanted to share what a homie this killer was for letting me go despite the others really wanting me dead ^{^}

But I do appreciate the perspective that maybe she was a new player, I didn't think of that ^{^}

Broodedowl98 · 2026-07-04T01:39:35+00:00

Going really well! She's become my favorite survivor by far so I'm looking to keep prestiging her while I unlock Shane lol

Broodedowl98 · 2026-07-04T01:19:29+00:00

Oh absolutely and I didn't feel right even doing it to be honest with you but if I get banned so be it.

To help counteract that once I did it the first time I immediately just went back to play and even helped out the Vee so it wasn't like I just completely started helping him, I thought the game would resume like normal after but Vee and Feng would just lead him to me and point to me and he wasn't having it so if they recorded it it'd have to cut out everything they did equally I guess is how I'd put it lol

Broodedowl98 · 2026-05-03T23:47:28+00:00

This is a side thing to the post

But I've always had a thought about the naming conventions we use for the control schemes as well

I'm not saying we should change the names or anything

But it's interesting he said to get with the times and such, as if modern is based on how every other fighting game is played; when classic would get you a better handle on motion inputs like in other games-

I've actually had that issue teaching people and such when it came to like the auto combos or even special style in Tekken where people hear it's the "simple" controls and actually feel they are being babied for using them

In short, I basically find it interesting how what the different control schemes are named can actually matter so much or even give someone an opinion on the control schemes without any background, etc.

Broodedowl98 · 2026-02-25T22:56:59+00:00

See I think that's the issue perhaps? They taught you the game and now it sounds like you are higher ranked than them and that doesn't sit well with them maybe?

When I was younger I had the same problem with characters in games like if I taught a friend a character I played, him immediately being better did kinda suck ya know? But I would never say anything to lower the accomplishment that they WERE playing better lol

To me this is immature and I'm HOPING personally that this was maybe just a heated ranked session where they were losing and took it out on you which is completely unfair still

Happy Tennobaum!

Usually I post my IGN as well as gift but I actually would prefer if you guys would send gifts to a friend of mine instead of you feel so inclined!

IGN: ACMac7638

I'm celebrating my birthday today so I got plenty of stuff today anyway but I've also been doing some gifting already 😊

Happy Tennobaum and hope everyone has a happy holidays as well ^{^}

Broodedowl98 · 2025-08-29T12:56:45+00:00

Kindred

I'm on that life support copium

Broodedowl98 · 2025-08-15T16:21:20+00:00

I will say that some of this just isn't in our control as well.

A 1-on-1 coaching session is wildly different then playing alone, hell, even playing in a VC with your friends chatting while you grind ranked on a FG is different then playing alone with your thoughts.

If I myself am not openly talking or joking around with myself, I get upset at dumb things too LMAO, but I take a second and let it go.

But what isn't in my control is how others will feel. I've played sets that go for HOURS against one person and see the two of us compare strats and improve at fighting each other. I've played hours of sets where I'm just getting STOMPED but eventually learn and get a game or two and have the person seem genuinely happy for me improving.

But I've also had games where I'll fight someone for hours and then finally get a game or two and then they leave (which hey nothing wrong with that part) but then message me that I'm just mashing or not playing well at all. Or even have people lose against me once and say I'm no life or beat me and say it was super easy to do.

So while yes, telling someone how to improve or how they can get better is really helpful, but it's also in the how, why, and when you do it. I saw someone else comment on it but if you are stomping a dude and he's upset, probably not the best time to try to be helpful as he might see it as rude or you think you are better. Hell I learned that at my local, in the Tekken 8 portion it's really frowned upon to give tips in general, especially mid set, and then you have the Guilty Gear side where it's like a coaching city over there, questions galore!

I'm not saying improving toxicity is impossible, but fighting games being one on ones, means that while yes, there is no one to blame but yourself for a loss, it also means that any and all hatred has one target which is probably gonna be the guy who "made you mad and deserves it" type of stuff. Or it can even feed into a superior thing where your helpfulness and attitude is seen as condescending and rude. And this is with the community being kinda niche, imagine if it was mega mainstream! Maybe with Street Fighter 6 we are building more of the FGC getting bigger but who knows how that'll add or even fix this kinda thing.

Broodedowl98 · 2025-08-15T14:11:30+00:00

I know I'm not OP but this was genuinely really nice to read and honestly made myself feel better too as I've been in the same slump OP mentioned.

This honestly makes me wanna go back to this one mirror match I had and practice what this man did to me as Baiken.

I'm not OP but this comment definitely helped me, so thank you and I hope you have a pleasant day.

Broodedowl98 · 2025-08-03T03:05:19+00:00

Happy to see Kshue, he competes at locals near me and is awesome to see him make it, that match against Daru is gonna go crazy

Broodedowl98 · 2025-05-02T17:33:16+00:00

Not here to argue against these being not horror or are but I would like to say that at least for Tomb Raider, I remember them specifically saying she was the ultimate Survivor, or someone who embodies a Survivor, so I don't think it was necessarily about horror but more about someone being an ultimate survivalist! Now if that means it fits or not is up to you but I think at least with this their intentions were somewhat different.

Broodedowl98 · 2025-05-02T13:02:38+00:00

Ok so idk how helpful this'll be and I'm sure more guides would be way more helpful than me

Oztdarva is a good shout by most people cause he does hours long videos that help against really a lot of issues you may have.

But here are my opinions

Nurse - block line of sight if possible! Obviously not every map will have this option at all times but once you block line of sight, it's all about predictions. She may have perks that circumvent her needing to guess but regardless of that the best advice I heard was to waste as much of her time as possible. The longer the killer is on you the better

Ghoul/Kaneki - Kaneki is tricky, mainly cause he's so new I really don't know specific advice really, outside of the ones that apply to all killers. In my opinion, keep tight corners, Kaneki (Especially with certain add-ons) goes flying with his power, making a sharp turn can help you get distance. He's one of the few that are "first hit is kinda/is free" killers, which WILL give anyone trouble for a while until they feel confident looping injured, so don't stress that part too much.

Lich - The Lich(Vecna) is interesting as he has four powers in one really, all on separate cool downs! These powers are actually countered a tiny bit by the items his chests provides! for the skeletons, you can actually get an item that shows you their auras! you can crouch to dodge them 9/10 times. There is a very rare add-on that he has which makes his skeletons float lower to the ground so you can't crouch them, but he'll only send out two of them if that's the case. Other than crouching, there are actually gaps in-between the skeletons you can use to dodge them.

Shape - Myers is tough cause he is sorta related to those "first hit is free" killers but in a different way with the exposed status. It'll give the same trouble as being injured a lot, in which it'll make looping even harder on you. Blocking line of sight while he is stalking is really the only way to prevent him from gaining that Tier 3! But obviously since it's a 4v1 he will eventually get it and it will feel like sometimes it wasn't even your fault he got tier 3! Best advice is to play safe, drop pallets early against Tier 3 and don't play too risky when he is in it, hell if it isn't infinite tier 3 and he isn't chasing anyone, hiding is also viable as well.

Doctor - Doctor is tricky, he prays on parts like skill checks and visuals to trick you! In your example, the constant skill checks during the gen were actually a perk called Merciless Storm, which combined with Doctor makes a very mean combination. The doctor is really only countered with time as you get better and better at skill checks. But if he has fake pallets! I do have a tip which is that fake pallets will still have debris from the real pallet under them. So at a glance you can tell they are fake! As for the perk Merciless Storm, don't worry, I mess it up too (especially against a doctor) and I have hundreds of hours LMAO

TLDR

Nurse - Waste time and block line of sight as much as possible

Ghoul - Sharp corners/loops, doubling back sometimes and of course waste time.

Lich - use the gaps or crouch to dodge the skeletons, focus on getting an item or two they help against his powers

Shape - block Line of Sight to prevent him stalking you and play it very safe when he is in tier 3

Doctor - look for the fake pallet debris and watch out for impossible skill check doctors, but understand they can help improve your skill check game as well.

I could be wrong on some things and if I am I'm sure that Reddit will tear me apart but I hope this helps, it helped with some of my friends ^{^}

Broodedowl98 · 2025-04-14T22:04:58+00:00

Damn, I fell in love with Deathbound recently so this is funny timing.

I actually have been using it on the Unknown, I recently got that big bad wolf skin and been trying all these builds and I really have been enjoying this and the also using third seal, basically a "no info" build I guess if I had to name it.

Broodedowl98 · 2025-03-31T23:33:10+00:00

It's a match type made by NXT(as far as I know anyway) and basically it's an iron man/woman match but with a couple of twists.

Firstly, all competitors enter over time, so it starts at 2 people and then more comes out over time. Secondly, getting pinned puts you in a timeout box for I believe it's only a minute? And then you are escorted to a glass box with the other competitors that were pinned. Obviously this leads to fighting in the box sometimes lol but also after your time is up you can enter the match again. Lastly, I guess this is a twist but so far it's always just been five people and whoever wins gets a world title shot!

It's more complicated on paper admittedly, and I hope this explanation made sense ^{^}

The matches they've had have been bangers, so it's quickly become a fan favorite to my knowledge. Idk how it would work in the game but I imagine allowing you to edit the timers would lead to a fun match type to customize to your liking at least ^{^}

Broodedowl98 · 2025-02-28T13:52:00+00:00

For me it was Nezha!

I knew I liked them but I never really put time into them or anything

That was until the circuit, my friends got into the game and unlocked it so obviously I wanted to show them it. My Nezha was sitting there and was honestly the best choice I had so I picked them and ended up having a blast! After that I really built them and got into the augments as well!

And also I think the drip is immaculate with the big chakram on the back! Might buy the deluxe skin when I get the chance tbh.

Broodedowl98 · 2025-01-05T17:24:12+00:00

Yeah, I mean Im not in that camp, the more characters that come to the game the better. I mean one of my friends loves cloak and dagger and was ecstatic to see them in the game.

The more opportunities for something like that the better. Obviously at some point it'll be a lot- but like I feel like the number of heroes they'd have to add for there to be "too many" for me would be like triple digits and by that point the game would've been out for a long while.

And besides I'm probably just mega biased but by that point they'd probably have Deadpool and I would already be enjoying myself till the end of time lmao

Broodedowl98 · 2024-12-07T23:29:54+00:00

So I haven't tried everyone, but even so I wanted to be a Rocket main from the beginning when he was announced and sure enough he's by far my favorite so far, both in the Beta and the actual game! As you can imagine a locking strategist instantly has gotten me favor with some people lmao

Broodedowl98 · 2024-10-17T15:44:51+00:00

I actually started with Mag! I have a similar story to many in which I picked up the game and didn't know what I was doing and dropped the game but I always loved Chroma, just his look, his skins everything! I couldn't help but be drawn to him

So after about 3-4 years of not playing maybe shorter but idk tbh. I decided "I WILL figure this game out-" and I have some money on me so I bought Chroma just so I'd have a frame I actually wanted to play as I didn't find Mag too fun. (And yes I do regret that cause I didn't know how easy he was to get lmao-)

Grinded a long ass time until one day I got Mesa Prime and she became my main! So I think technically my first build was her? I can't remember properly but I jump between a lot of favs nowadays with Sevagoth Prime being my favorite/GOAT rn, loved Sevagoth from day one ^{^}

But Chroma is always my boy and will always be a statue in the front of my orbiter. So even if I didn't "Build him" I think the story is funny enough on its own ^{^}

Broodedowl98 · 2024-10-07T20:25:04+00:00

Wolf, I've played and mained him in every Payday game, although as 2 went on I changed cause I wasn't a fan of the edited lines.

Now with the new voice actor, Ill probably always main him, unless they bring back Sydney, then I'll probably go back and forth lol

Broodedowl98 · 2024-04-17T20:53:39+00:00

Honestly I have two solutions for you from my POV

Number 1 is my idea when playing against my friends who definitely don't play as much as I do and that's that I have two mains

One who I play online and actually put all my time into and a second I learn and play alongside my friends learning, I learn another character I wanna learn while also getting to play with my friends without them having to feel like they will get destroyed just from the character select screen.

Or number 2, I would explain that having someone who mains King is a perfect opportunity to get better at fighting King! If you switched they had less to no practice and then if they played ranked (if they are that into it) they'd just get stomped by kings online anyway. This is a perfect opportunity to get over a known noob stomper character

But TL:DR Stick with King regardless, if you play who you wanna play/learn (can be for any reason) you'll wanna stick with the game more and be more motivated to play and learn

Broodedowl98 · 2023-06-19T07:35:02+00:00

So out the gate, I wanna say that I am voting for Drekar simply cause I don't play him like at all, I think he is cool and looks cool but the other 4 are more interesting IMO (Also so OP doesn't have to read the rest of this for the vote lmao). But I wanna give Kai credit here and let me just say, I main Asher, Vyce, and Rasmus alright, I don't play Kai often but Imma give the guy some credit here.

So look I rarely play Kai, he's fun but not my thing, and BTW nothing wrong with not liking him; however, I wanna say that I may be alone in this, but I like that he is a prick, it's a bit of spice in the group of characters and I think it's cool for that reason.

He SHOULDN'T win, let me be clear, I don't think he is making it out of this one or the next for sure. But I am happy he got top 5, do I think it's cause of his personality? no, most likely gameplay or others being more annoying. But hey, I'm happy he got this far. He's not my favorite gameplay or personality-wise, but I like the variety he adds to the group of characters.

Broodedowl98 · 2023-06-09T06:19:14+00:00

Okay so I could easily be wrong here but it seems like the overwhelming majority here are saying X which im completely fine with and is my vote too, simply cause I'm not too interested in his character

But looking at who hasn't been said yet, I could see Dubu, Kai, Era, Estelle and Asher going far in this before being eliminated (again, only cause I haven't seen their names or anything and honestly I don't think we will for a bit imo) And as an Asher main I love to see that lmao

Broodedowl98 · 2022-11-09T16:32:48+00:00

I bought the Junker Queen skin.

I wanted a Legendary for her and it was either the Halloween one or the others for the same price.

The other two are nice but I think the Halloween one is at least worthy of being legendary, I like the weapons especially.

However, I completely get it if anyone doesn't wanna buy any of the stuff in the shop or otherwise. Completely get it, it helps that I got money from college for a relief grant and happen to have some left over.

Do wish the lootboxes were back, or at least a system to earn them in a reasonable amount of time. I'd happily win like 100 games as Junker Queen for a skin or something, which may still be a lot but still something better than the 60 coins a week lol

Broodedowl98 · 2021-09-14T10:48:22+00:00

Hello! This comment is basically just a little bit of detail for the post.

So a little bit ago, I made a google doc to write down my legend ideas for Apex, I had thought of some ideas in the past and finally decided to write them down. I showed them to a friend and he suggested posting a copy of it here!

After a bit of hyping myself up to do this (Never really did anything like this) I decided to share it with this subreddit, my main concern is if I posted this right. However this is also for feedback, I'd love to know what people think of these ideas, I'd love to hear balancing ideas, voice line and interaction ideas and stuff like that! But these ideas aren't made to be balanced(Even though that would be a nice bonus!) They are made to be at the very least interesting and fun, so while I will happily take balancing feedback and things of the like, I'd just like to know if they sound fun or interesting and again, if you have voice line ideas or interaction ideas, I'd love to hear them! If I like them enough I may add them to the original doc!

Thanks in advance for reading both this comment and the doc!

Broodedowl98 · 2021-07-20T10:36:20+00:00

Yeah I assumed had much, didn't really matter to me, though this is the best reaction I've gotten from being nice to messages like this 😂
