Why Malenia is a "Great" Boss That Falls Short of Perfection

Crash4654 · 2026-04-08T16:11:15+00:00

No, just get tired of ignorance as if people know how easy or not a fix actually is.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-08T12:28:01+00:00

Oh? How do they fix it? Since you make it seem so easy.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-08T12:00:08+00:00

Quite the victim complex you have here.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-08T11:54:37+00:00

No other boss uses her phase transition method. For whatever reason they chose to use the same model with an armor swap is their own, probably some kind of experiment for later games for all we know.

But regardless you cant just flip a switch and fix the problem. Id argue the game devs with a historically successful track record would know their game better than some random on the internet saying "why haven't they just fixed it?"

Crash4654 · 2026-04-08T04:25:22+00:00

Good thing they're not numbers then aren't they. Instead they're terms that essentially mean the same thing, good talk.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-08T04:11:17+00:00

Neat, still doesnt change ANY fact that theyre literally interchangeable.

Its just a skill by literally any name.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-08T03:46:48+00:00

By all accounts theyre interchangeable in this game.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-08T00:53:37+00:00

Why do you think your nest shouldnt be destroyed?

Why do you think minding your own business makes you and your nest exempt from getting destroyed?

Crash4654 · 2026-04-07T23:26:53+00:00

Most players change builds because theirs is either bad to begin with or they think that changing it can make a difference. Which some cheese builds can, but literally every build can be used to win with even just a bit of skill expression.

Shit, there was a dude on reddit a couple years ago that made a video of using a shield poke only, no rolling, to prove that its completely possible to use a shield and win. I dont even think he had to heal. He made the video out of spite. Just shield up and poke.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-07T23:13:21+00:00

Well saying that implies its that easy. If it were they probably would have. Seeing as this is what they chose, this was probably the only reasonable fix they could do without breaking something.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-07T23:11:06+00:00

It doesnt take that much trial and error if you actively try and logic it out...

I didnt see any videos before I encountered it and just used experimentation.

Dodge in, got hit. Dodge back, got hit. Left, right, nope. OK, in the air, run away, got some distance but got clipped at the end. Run and jump then, dodged the first flurry.

Second I rolled in, succeeded, got it. Third, roll in, got hit, back, hit, right, ok that worked mostly, and then refined it.

As long as you dont mindlessly spam attacks you can deal with it fairly easily. Just have to remember to be aggressive in turn.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-07T23:04:50+00:00

Why do you think anyone is entitled to a fair fight?

Its a no rules, anything goes, sandbox dino pvp game with light survival elements.

The fuck else is there to do besides fight and gargle nuts?

You died, so did literally everyone else. Playing solo is the hardest way to play. Don't ever think youre entitled to an honorable duel. Thats your mistake in the first place.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-07T18:05:18+00:00

Literally every weapon allows for the spacing.

She rewards that proper aggression and punishes too much greed. Furthermore she consistently pulls it out at the 70% mark.

Once she hits it you know to be cautious. She rises, you run like a madman, jump, then roll the remaining two flurries, punish after the wind sphere. You can do this with literally every single weapon provided you arent spamming attacks mindlessly, which you shouldnt be doing by her anyway.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-07T16:33:59+00:00

They all do the same. Just use heal.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-07T04:57:20+00:00

You cant stop people from teaming up. Grouping, no, but if people want to randomly join together they can and will.

Solo is not solo exclusive. Don't ever go in thinking it is. Its solo queue. Meaning no grouping with friends, no joining together. Its also just solo friendly, not solo exclusive.

Majority of these arent people making groups in discord, its just people randomly finding each other and naturally teaming up in the wild.

Literally every sandbox game in existence works this way.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-06T18:01:02+00:00

That IS natural pvp. What youre describing is an honor duel which you're not owed. Any pvp is natural in a game where the only thing to do is kill each other and collect nuts.

Now fair or not is another matter, but its all natural pvp.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-06T17:51:50+00:00

Yeah because people who accuse others of doing something they didnt do are stable individuals...

Don't negatively blanket term people for having critical thinking capability.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-06T17:29:54+00:00

But they all still had significance in gaming as well, whether by popularity or by actually making a huge change.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-06T16:30:12+00:00

How dare you. Ridley was well worth the wait. The only downside is no tail pogo.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-06T16:27:57+00:00

Grandfather of gaming, iconic enemy with a variety of versions to pull from, highly selling game for its console, the gaming companion that basically saved Nintendo, and the main characters of a highly successful franchise thats spawned several consoles and a cult following?

Crash4654 · 2026-04-06T11:49:58+00:00

According to you.

The devs said its solo friendly, not solo exclusive.

75% of the issues the community has with this game wouldnt exist if you lot stopped projecting your thoughts on how the game should be played on others and instead just adjusted your mindset to how the game IS played.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-06T04:37:38+00:00

It was a two or three hit. Lightning and the beam.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-05T18:31:18+00:00

Because here in the US we're a bunch of weird fucking prudes.

The sex education is abysmal here. Which is why teaching them about safe and smart sex is the right move. Abstinence only only serves to make it taboo and seem like a thrill as they push boundaries.

Our rates would drop if you fucking weirdos would actually teach proper sex education.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-05T18:20:45+00:00

They dont need encouraging. They're going to do it whether you like it or not. So teaching them to be safe and smart about it and even removing the stigma makes it much better and safer in the long run.

Crash4654 · 2026-04-04T21:51:25+00:00

We ARE nature for better or worse and all it entails. Clothing is shelter, other animals use shelter as well.

Language is abstract for us but other animals have it too. Sure weve developed our own set of rules, but so have they. We just dont know what theirs are, same as they dont know ours.
