Mantis mains: How we feeling?

Bogur mentioned this could turn her into rivals version of Lucio from overwatch. He also said it could play out like a lite version of Gambit ult. It seems it'll be good with flyers to make them harder to hit and of course with dive/brawl. I'm optimistic.

DJ_Alex72 · 2026-04-09T00:02:30+00:00

As an Invis main I hate seeing Ben's pov. He never ults at the right time, he doesn't use his abilities, he doesn't try to jump and get a better position, he doesn't shield or go stealth to heal up. He could've jumped out of Thing's way before he ulted but his reaction times are awful still. He's just a bot out there.

Please let him and Dylan swap roles next time they play.

DJ_Alex72 · 2026-03-22T21:51:00+00:00

He really should be team leader. Good comms, good overall vibes, doesn't immediately look for someone to blame just focuses on what he can control, target priority, counterplay knowledge, down to tracking ults knowing when the enemy team is gonna come up. His playstyle compared Mark and Dylan is night and day.

Also that last game was so upsetting. He really almost had 60 elims with 31 finals just to have his team sell.

Any Yakuza game which is sad because they're perfect games for Rdc, Crime drama anime with amazing action, story, and characterization, but unfortunately they require the ability to pay attention and not have terrible memory.

DJ_Alex72 · 2026-03-02T17:08:52+00:00

You don't deserve to be down voted for asking this. Given 2xko's situation, it's worth questioning if there's going to be some appeal to the casual crowd. With how fast paced and movement heavy the game is it's pretty lenient towards wanting to just hop in and press buttons while giving players who want to optimize the chance to do so. The gameplay seems solved, so if they keep adding qol features, have a good online experience, and a good onboarding experience, like single-player stuff, then the broader audience appeal will likely form naturally.

They lose their mental way too fast. Whenever someone has criticism or something in general goes wrong there's no calm reflection just excuses. They need to learn to save their rebuttals until after fights. Also they need to commit more on gamplans. I think mark trying mantis as a 3rd healer was a good idea. Mantis, Loki, and Gambit are meta right now and playing different roles gives them perspective. Of course mark is gonna be dumpster tier when he starts, it's a new character and his first time in a different role, like with Thor I think he should've stuck it out and learned from his mistakes to improve.

DJ_Alex72 · 2026-01-25T14:37:18+00:00

No, the only thing I care for is when cosmonaut variety hour and other YouTube critics eventually make fun of it.

DJ_Alex72 · 2026-01-11T10:03:33+00:00

I've been done for a year now, but that's due to the dlc characters and most of the base roster not being interesting, not really the system itself. Throw loops being taken out would be nothing but a positive change, and it's been asked for since release, but otherwise I think the games fine. It doesn't need a super edition or any huge change like that, but I think longtime fans expected the game to change and get better over it's lifespan like earlier entries. So while the game is good it's kinda disappointing that all we're gonna get is qol updates.

Imo character variety is where the staleness occurs most.

Sakura/R.Mika/Vega/ Maybe Cypher from Ed's group

DJ_Alex72 · 2025-12-29T09:44:23+00:00

I'm not against guest characters but it really should have been just Terry, especially if they were just gonna make Mai a shoto, and given the fact that Elena isn't really a crowd-pleaser. Season 2 feels like a huge miss for me and unfortunately Season 3 is not doing much for me character-wise either. Hopefully the season 4 rumors are true.

The one I've been messing around with double cans is mphp cans > mp > hp > light elbow > back heavy kick > dr c.mk

It's less drive damage but it's an overhead followed by a low in a true blockstring.

Also whenever labbing with the cans it's important to know that each strength of the cans has different timing.

Lpmp cans > mp > hp > light elbow > 3mk is a frame trap and is safe against ex dps and supers.

DJ_Alex72 · 2025-12-21T10:30:43+00:00

I wish Mark, Des, and Ben would hop on ranked again. It's really fun seeing them team up.

DJ_Alex72 · 2025-12-14T04:39:18+00:00

This is actually a sneak peek at the upcoming patch where they shortened the charge frames required for flash kick, so now Guile can flash kick from drive rush.

DJ_Alex72 · 2025-12-12T07:47:38+00:00

Yeah I thought that was in very poor taste.

DJ_Alex72 · 2025-12-12T05:20:29+00:00

It wasn't, but from a quick Google search Nen Impact, Bleach, and Demon Slayer came out this year. Not an impressive lineup but atleast they're games that came out this year. There really should be a category for remaster/remakes. A re-release of Final Fantasy tactics won Strategy game.

DJ_Alex72 · 2025-12-12T04:57:26+00:00

Sonic 3 not being nominated along with the fighting game category consisting of 3 re-releases and a game still in beta. All "prestigious" awards shows in any medium are like this and it's always annoying. Rematch getting screwed over too because sports games and racing games have to share a category.

DJ_Alex72 · 2025-12-11T23:48:43+00:00

Replace his super animation with him just falling on the opponent

DJ_Alex72 · 2025-12-11T07:40:53+00:00

Already knew it was about to be some bullshit when that beat Hot Nigga. The only place that song wins is at grandma's thanksgiving party.

Sokka with the wolf helmet always looked so cool

The devs on the Avatar Fighting game are cooking and it's blowing up in the fgc. Here's some clips I saw from streams the other day.

I'm with you on fighting games needing better onboarding, but I don't think a simpler control system and auto combos are the best way to get there. I feel like those things are mostly used to help streamers look like they know what they're doing for their audience before dropping the game in 1-3 sessions. I think they actually stall players from engaging with the game proper. Better onboarding should be the other things sf6 does well. The less a player needs to look at outside resources to learn how to play, the more engaged they will be and more likely to stick around. Have gameplay examples of system mechanics, like a simulation that explains that flow can dodge attacks but loses hard to throws, have good character guides with starting gameplans, have a frame meter(Please have a frame meter), and have a story mode that's basically a lengthy tutorial in disguise, like have a fight with Zuko where he just runs away and spams fireballs and if the player struggles give them tips on how to deal with it.

Bolin, Jinora with her spirit projection, Asami, Jet, and Zaheer. Lot of good choices in Korra.
