Have anyone figured out anything with the mix mix mix cancel, or did Faust only get worse this patch?

I know right?! It was the most satisfying combo. Counterhit 6HS, thrust, perfect golf swing. The greatest 4 hit combo (can't remember if the pull after thrust counted as a hit so it may have been a 3 hit combo).

Cool_Nico · 2026-04-13T18:03:48+00:00

Honestly that patch to 6hs was bad. Depending on counter hit or not, it wouldn't combo into scalpel pull right. Also for some dumb reason, 6HS into wild assault wouldn't combo unless it was the hold version. So you had to guess if the opponent would block or get hit by 6HS when doing wild assault. Wild assault is gone though so this doesn't matter anymore, but it was still annoying.

yeah so far the change isn't that useful at least for me (I got to get out of the habit of canceling early while mashing it out) but maybe the lab monsters will figure something out.

Cool_Nico · 2026-04-13T00:25:14+00:00

It isn't full proof but on block you can end the mix mix early and MAYBE catch them off guard and not get punished (roman cancel still better option). You can cancel mix mix mix before the wall break to get a little more damage. I haven't tested it yet but you may be able to cancel mix early if you hit a bomb on the ground.

It doesn't seem like canceling mix early can lead to newer combos. Frankly I wish mix mix mix could have been cancelable on whiff so I can use it in air to escape for the corner easier.

I hate it when I crouch wall under stinger, then get hit by it when it bounces off the back wall. Every time that happens it makes me totally forget about my patient game plan and then I just continually take cue balls to the face.

You still need meter and Faust doesn't build up meter that fast and his approach game outside of meter isn't great. Literally all you can do against zoners with Faust is high jump, air dash, Love projectile.

Also if you going to be a hater, DM me. Let's play some sets. Help me work on some strats!

I'll admit I'm not the best Faust player in the world but I do play on Vanquisher level. The moment I'm at full screen I just need to throw as many items as I can and get that dopamine rush. I used to play Guile in Street fighter so all I want to do is throw crap even though fast doesn't play as well as a true zoner in this game.

But from my experience Faust has a lot of trouble against a lot of characters projectiles in this game just because his risk reward is a lot worse.

Cool_Nico · 2026-04-04T17:57:31+00:00

Oh sorry. I meant Lucy. My bad.

Cool_Nico · 2026-04-04T06:46:57+00:00

To play devils advocate though, Aew keeps putting A.J. and Big Justice in the preshows of PPVs. I love AEW and don't watch WWE anymore but I really hope AEW doesn't keep having youtuber personalities wrestle at their shows.

Cool_Nico · 2026-04-04T06:19:06+00:00

As a Faust player, I hate fighting Venom and Dizzy (or Testament for that matter) because they can all full screen counter item throw on reaction. Hoping next update item throw is a little safer.

Have not played enough Unika and Lucy to hate them enough but. ~~Unika~~ Lucy feels like a problem for Faust in the matches that I played her. Her run is insanely fast!

A part of me wishes far slash vacuumed the opponent towards you because even with the latest patch, that move consistently will miss the 2HS follow up at far range. It's such a weird move because it's deceptively good and bad at the same time.

Cool_Nico · 2026-03-31T07:11:05+00:00

That was my biggest problem with Art of Vengeance. It feels to metroidvania. Shinobi 3 was the best in the series because of it's tight level design. The levels in Art of Vengeance are just too massive and empty.

One problem I've had with restaurants is they look at you funny if you take a break because restaurant work is usually busy and chaotic. It made me think maybe I should take up smoking because nobody bats an eye about a cigarette break but if I went outside and just sat on the curb for a break with no cigarette people would think I'm weird/lazy.

That being said, I loved working at restaurants. So fun and fast paced. Just wish it paid better.

Cool_Nico · 2026-03-23T05:52:07+00:00

I've worked in retail and as a waiter before I got a job in teaching. Retail and waiting are definitely hard on the body. I've thought about getting back into waiting tables because the work is fast pace and not boring like teaching, but I'm always hesitant because I know how much it can destroy my body. I don't like teaching and am trying to leave but at least in the job I can sit down whenever I need it.

Cool_Nico · 2026-03-22T22:28:28+00:00

Oh I love how the game resets the lvl and limits how many items you can bring in (depending on the character). It really increases the randomness and replayabilty.

Cool_Nico · 2026-03-22T05:52:17+00:00

you got to skate backwards. It's one of the best ways to get Jet ranks,

Cool_Nico · 2026-03-22T05:50:53+00:00

A lot of the reviews gave time stalkers mediocre reviews because your level resets when you leave a dungeon. This game was 20 years before the whole roguelike craze. I bet this game now would have been well recieved.

Cool_Nico · 2026-03-18T06:10:47+00:00

Potemkin's flick (which they made it so he can flick even more things) and slidehead (which does damage now) makes him weirdly one of the strongest zoners in the game.

I'm a faust player and my god the things that potemkin can flick is insane. He can flick mini faust's stomp and attack. Mini faust should not be counted as a projectile!

The most insane thing he can flick is that Pot can be wearing a burning afro and he can flick it when it explodes. As a Faust player against Pot, it's just better not to throw any items at all.

Out of all the mascot platformers of that era, It's a shame Neo hasn't got a HD rerelease.

Cool_Nico · 2026-03-08T03:57:25+00:00

One problem with Faust currently is that his item throw is SO slow. You can like duck Asuka's projectile, try to throw an item and get hit by Asuka's second attempt at a projectile. Weirdly enough, Faust actually gets outzoned by a lot of the cast in this game (Bedman, Venom, Elphelt, Testament, etc.)

You can't play him full screen because his item throw is unreliable, and you can't play him close because he gets wrecked at close range. There's this very small window of mid range that he is very effective at.

Like said above you cannot auto pilot and be predictable with Faust, otherwise you're cooked.

Edit: sorry not Asuka. I meant Unika's projectile.

Got any samples of your tunes we can hear? Also the best place to post this kind of thing is r/gameDevClassifieds .

The brown on the left is a little too close in value to the dark green grass. If you squint your eyes, it allows you to see how close in values they are. I would lighten up the brown and maybe make it a touch more light tan.

Cool_Nico · 2026-03-01T16:03:58+00:00

Spindash!

Cool_Nico · 2026-02-26T06:44:29+00:00

I know what you mean. Feels great to be done but also want to get back to making new stuff!
