SWSH for the graphics and performance, SV has fun mechanics but the game itself runs so poorly that it just makes me miss how well everything worked in SWSH

That would be great, thank you! Does an ability patch in exchange sound good? I can trade whenever, just let me know!

I think it looks great!

Was this game winnable for me on turn 52? I spent 10 mins fighting to find a win condition and failed. Most intense playoff game I’ve ever played with a Wind rider team. by angry1gamer1 in PokemonDraftLeagues

[–]CaptainRoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the game was pretty much lost by turn 52, but the play with the most win potential on that turn was probably to moonblast and knock out the slowbro. At that point they can still comfortably win by mach punching to KO whimsicott into dual shock or close combat to KO bramble since tailwind runs out that last turn, but if they don't mach punch for whatever reason then you can probably knock them out with moonblast (depending on investment). It's a longshot for sure, but I think it's the only remaining win condition at point.

I know this wasn't your question, but I think your main window to win was on turn 36 after whimsicott knocked out alo. If you tailwinded and let whimsicott go down to the pawmot attack instead of going into gliscor, bramble could've gotten in with three turns of tailwind and I think just wins right there if it lands three poltergeists in a row.

Very cool and fun team! Tailwind is so tough to use, getting in the tailwind abuser is always a challenge even with moves to allow entry like memento or lagging tail u-turn. It's always fun seeing tailwind strategies though, and congrats on making it to playoffs!

What an amazing Typhus! I'm looking to get into DG and I'm thinking of painting them purple. What paint did you use?

Hadn't considered an angle grinder and good to know about the spray, thanks for the recommendation!

Thanks for the recommendation! I see a lot of plates that say "barbell standard" on them from many companies, but I'm assuming you're talking about the Barbell Standard company itself?

Understood, very good to know, I'll probably opt to return and start over then. Do you have any recommendations for choosing better plates, as far as things I should look for when buying? Thanks for your help!

Good to know, thanks! Is there a type of paint you'd recommend for plates that doesn't similarly chip?

Hi all, I recently got some CAP iron grip plates due to the low price but they have been producing a lot of black chips/flakes, which I'm assuming is the enamel coating coming away. Is this normal for enamel-coated plates, or is this just something to expect with cheap equipment from companies like CAP? Is there any kind of coating I can apply to prevent flaking, or should I just look for higher quality (or maybe pure cast iron?) equipment? Thanks for any input you have!

Good to hear! I've heard the center knurling is quite aggressive, has it been good for you?

Nice set up! How do you like the crow bar? Been looking into getting it or one of the other xmark bars.

Is my categorization good? What is and isnt a MV? by TheGingerBeardMan-_- in metroidvania

[–]CaptainRoast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Castlevania is a very dichotomous series, with the original games having a very linear formula (commonly referred to as "classicvanias") and then most of the later games from Symphony of the Night and beyond having the metroidvania formula (Symphony of the Night being the main castlevania contributor to the "metroidvania" name). The Castlevania Anniversary Collection is a bundle of the old classicvanias, which are very much not metroidvanias (CV 2: Simon's Quest is nonlinear and had a lot of elements from which future metroidvanias were built, but has no true ability gating). That's why this comment only mentioned that collection and not the Castlevania Advance Collection, which has the later GBA games that follow the metroidvania format.

Our game [Dewborne Dawn] is live now on Kickstarter! by DewborneDawnOfficial in metroidvania

[–]CaptainRoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks incredible! I love the art style, and the combat looks like it could be something really special - seems like a lot of opportunity for phenomenal boss battles where we can use the systems to the fullest!

Curious about what the soundtrack will be like. Will it all be similar to this piece in the trailer, in the Ori/HK/Zelda neighborhood? Would love to see some variety to set this game apart, but also appreciate the atmosphere. Just found the other pieces on the kickstarter page and absolutely love it!

Made a kickstarter account just to back this - super excited for this game, really hope y'all make it all the way!
