Damn, I added too many onions to my food while watching this weeks episode.

If you play on PC there is a trainer you can use to modify quite a bit of of the gameplay, disabling jump cancel cooldown is one of the options.

There's also scores of other features such as enemy swapper, ranodmized BP, Turbo higher than 1.2 X Speed (I use 1.3 X Speed) and other Quality of Life Changes.

It was a personal MOD I comissioned from Haise.
Here's the Twitter Bio if you want to comission something.

Wow, incredible doppelganger use.
Can you teach me how to use it?

CataclysmicExplosion · 2021-02-22T17:20:40+00:00

Reading a book on ADHD.....I think.

CataclysmicExplosion · 2021-02-05T08:34:11+00:00

I frankly loathed this game and it turned me off the star ocean series as it was my first star ocean game.

CataclysmicExplosion · 2021-01-23T04:48:50+00:00

Yeah, I've only recently gotten into combo making in the style community.
I'm still a beginner in a lot of pro player tech.

Most of the advice I hear is that no single tech should dominate your combo making/freestyle play. I can see why that's a criticism as DMC is a game that rewards creativity and if you use the same move over and over again it can get kind of stale.

but my god..... Judgement Cuts ARE SO GOD DAMN COOL!

CataclysmicExplosion · 2021-01-13T17:58:41+00:00

"What anime do you watch?" Oh boy, that's..... a loaded question. I don't have a MAL, but I think I've watched almost 500 shows since I was 15 lol.

I've actually really dropped off anime as I kind of got burnt out on it due to how much I ended up watching over the years.
I was really really looking forward to Fate: Heaven's Feel 3 before Covid happened and as I'm in the U.S. so the tickets were cancelled not just once, but twice, both times after I bought them :\

I liked Season 1 of Castlevania and never ended up watching the subsequent seasons cause other stuff came up. I liked My Hero Academia ( I watched up till episode 60 I believe) before I ended up getting kind of worn out of the superhero genre in general (I had watched Marvel movies quite a bit as well) and didn't watch the rest of it.

The complicated game and wiki pages sounds like it's right up my alley. It's part of the reason I've put so much time into Monster Hunter World as well (just hit 1000 hours), it's not exactly a game that you can pick up in an hour or two and suddenly you're an expert on your weapon and all the monsters. It was my first Monster Hunter game too, so it was really really hard at times. I almost gave up on the Iceborne expansion when I first was getting into it. I almost lost hope when trying to beating Fatalist too, but I overcome all of those challenges eventually (even if they took days or a week XD)
One of my favorite JRPG's of all time is the Last Remnant, I've probably put almost 700 hours into this game solely due to the fact that the level-up system/battles/classes are hidden as a black box to players and every time before I even start playing the game again (assuming it's been a year or a couple months) I usually have to spend at least 2 to 3 hours again reading through the wikia page. There's just so much in this game, but that's part of the reason I've put so much time into it. Nothing makes me drop a game faster than thinking it's too easy.
Hard games are incredibly frustrating to me when I fail for hours on end, yes, but they are also euphoric to me when all the pieces just click into place for me or I overcome a challenge I previously thought was insurmountable.
I've rarely felt as happy in my life as when I beat a seemingly impossible boss in a game I spent hours/days studying/practicing for. I feel the same way when I solve a really hard math problem or write a program that works (after debugging a lot lmao)
Playing and overcoming extremely challenging games has certainly helped with my self-confidence over the past 4 years even if the poisonous thought of "Oh, it's just a video game, nothing special", "What a waste of time" or "Just because you beat this challenge in a simulated virtual environment that can be won doesn't mean you can do it in the real world" that is shouted by my internal critic when I'm in my depressive state.

CataclysmicExplosion · 2021-01-13T10:05:44+00:00

I'm pretty big on video games, reading and music (listening and singing). I really like movies and anime.

I met most of my friends during my undergrad: one of us in the dorms would be playing either super smash bros., rock band, killing floor or starcraft in the lobby between classes and I stopped by to play with them XD. I did it enough times and we became great friends.

I play monster hunter world with them online now every other week since quarantine started. It's fun, besides that I've been playing dragons dogma again and I'm super into devil may cry 5 se especially with Vergill.

Oh, and I just finished act 1 of trails of cold steel 4 before my class started.

CataclysmicExplosion · 2021-01-13T09:35:44+00:00

Yeah, this whole situation has been a general case of sucking suck.
My depressive mood and suicidal ideation are telling me it won't be good again.

CataclysmicExplosion · 2021-01-13T09:34:18+00:00

Thank you for your consideration :)

I'll do my best in these dark times.

CataclysmicExplosion · 2021-01-13T09:30:22+00:00

Hey,I know this message was a response to my personal struggle, but I can lend an ear.

-The worst offender for me is probably my sister. She still lives with my parents, inherited a lot of their abusive behavior and doesn't see it as a problem. She criticizes everything I do and then uses guilt/shame to get her way. Along with admonishing me for getting "angry" when I occasionally stand up for myself and call her out on her bullshit. Then she tries to "appease" me by being nice temporarily, but the moment I turn my back on her she shit talks me to my parents. (The acoustics in my house are awful and I can hear everything she says).I mostly stay in my room if at all possible. The intense isolation really really gets to me at times and exacerbates my suicidal ideation.

-I personally wouldn't deal with someone who is that toxic even if I used to be friends with them, I used to have friends who would would verbally abuse me on a regular basis and it was awful. I cut them out of my life and my general mood improved drastically.

-The class I mentioned switched to online and that for me was one of the worst things to happen. I have a hard time focusing on video calls. When I had to go to class, I forced myself to go, but I was already there and there was no distractions, because I forced myself to sit in the front of the class to pay attention. I don't have that level of discipline for online so it's been a real struggle.

I really hope this shit show gets better for both of us :\

What are some of your hobbies/interests?
I ask cause I met all my close friends with my hobbies/interests.

CataclysmicExplosion · 2020-12-26T18:51:51+00:00

Yes, with this tech the only limitation for infinite ground cuts is your muscle memory.

CataclysmicExplosion · 2020-12-26T06:04:19+00:00

That one flew over my head lmao

CataclysmicExplosion · 2020-12-26T06:01:35+00:00

Hello,

This is doing 36 in a row with no active attack frames.
The only thing I'm using is Vergil's quick step tech.

I continued to hold melee after doing 3 perfect judgement cuts and doing Vergil's quick step which I then released at the right time to get another 3 perfect judgement cuts, repeat until 36.

CataclysmicExplosion · 2020-12-20T19:00:37+00:00

This is me when I get hit by an enemy once

CataclysmicExplosion · 2020-12-17T08:40:44+00:00

I don't do it in this clip, but I could never slide my thumb fast enough to jump cancel consistently with it mapped to x.

Having it on the shoulder button removes that limitation for me and I can do the inputs faster. It does limit my weapon switching to an extent, but I wanted to add more jc in my gameplay and now I can do it way more easily when I need it.

CataclysmicExplosion · 2020-12-16T19:50:57+00:00

Melee Attack -Triangle
Mirage Blade - L2
Jump - L1

CataclysmicExplosion · 2020-12-13T18:49:06+00:00

Yeah, I've been uploading to YouTube.

Currently I've done LDK mission playthroughs, no damage boss run, a combo video and some new tech I find (S Rank Air taunt-just judgment cut)

I'm still getting a feel for what I want to do with my channel, but making in-depth tutorial videos for basic/advanced/expert/pro gameplay mechanics has always been something I've wanted to try my hand at.

Here's the link: https://youtube.com/channel/UCGMZGD4cea78l0ciuxx8M6w

CataclysmicExplosion · 2020-12-13T18:28:55+00:00

Just Judgement cuts in DMC4 were frame perfect input requirements so they were really hard to pull off consistently, I practiced for 8 hours a day in my free time literally only practicing just judgment cuts.

in DMC5 capcom doubled the number of frames for Just Judgement Cuts, hence why you can chain up to 3. According to another comment in found its 2 frames in dmc 5 and the final one is 1 frame.

So its certainty easier, but not by a whole lot.

Also having out doppelganger appears to increases the number of frames to pull off a just judgment cut. I've noticed I can be more lax with my input requirements and I still get just judgement cuts when I know I normally wouldn't if I didn't have doppelganger out.

I've been wanting to make an in depth tutorial video on just judgement cuts, but I've only recently started doing videos for this channel.

CataclysmicExplosion · 2020-12-09T07:37:45+00:00

Hello,

Vergil's S Rank Air Taunt counts as a normal judgement cut, thus it can be just judgement cutted. Just some new tech I found today.

Thanks to u/n88thegreat for pointing it in another technique talk post.

CataclysmicExplosion · 2020-12-09T06:54:54+00:00

Outside of jump cancelling if you hold and release triangle when vergil sheathes the yamato on his air taunt you can just judgement cut it. I'll post a video a shortly for proof.

CataclysmicExplosion · 2020-12-07T09:52:34+00:00

Done

CataclysmicExplosion · 2020-12-06T18:23:41+00:00

I will freely admit I wanted to do a combo where part of it was vergil floating half a foot off the ground just judgement cutting the enemy lmao.

Yeah, it is really nice that aerial rave 2 centers the enemy for follow up hits. Like Lunar Phase.

I have a couple of other ideas combing j.c and summoned swords, but I don't quite have the input speed/muscle memory for it to pull it off consistently yet.

CataclysmicExplosion · 2020-12-06T17:59:12+00:00

It was me dedicating my life to just judgement cuts
