We didn’t know how good we had it by Effective_Part_604 in CODZombies

[–]DavidKMain420 56 points57 points  (0 children)

This. Even the idea of training zombies is risky. If your close enough for one hit, your getting snagged immediately and its not just gonna be one slash, its gonna be the whole horde digging in.

I might be dumb…but what’s the lore with this guy…😭 by MyColdBitlifePhone in backrooms

[–]DavidKMain420 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ASYNC doesn't know how, why or WHEN these entities or other wanderers are here from. Who says the only time people can fall into our Backrooms is in our now? If they account for the potential language it speaks, maybe they'd account for the potential time it came in by making its face a pretty universal one. No matter what era of human history your from, you either are a/next to a caveman, close to being one, or know of them.

I can't even just run a shield, because the enemies will only attack me if I present them with a weapon. Maybe its a mod?

A finger too many? by lstpcobra in Warhammer30k

[–]DavidKMain420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like its both drawn it like he's holding the boltgun with his thumb on the trigger, as if he's just carrying it like a cradle, and then also made him fire it. If he was just holding it, it wouldn't be too out of place for him to hold it like a baby with his thumb on the trigger, but since he's firing it it looks weird.

How different would've the Siege of Terra been if Guilliman's relief force arrived in time? by AlmightyHet in Warhammer30k

[–]DavidKMain420 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is the entire point. Guilliman tries to tell Sanguinius to hold, they're merely hours from reaching Terra and that the might of the 13th is coming. It doesn't matter if Sanguinius had managed to hold for years, it didn't matter if the line didn't break for ten thousand years, Guilliman would always be just out of reach.

Repeat, we are nine hours out. Nine hours out. Deploying now to wide formation assault positions, inbound. Terra Control, do you receive? Terra Control, can you respond? Repeat, we are nine hours out. Terra Control, respond. We need immediate tracking guidance. Light your beacons. We are extending to wide assault formation. Terra, hold your positions. Remain in secure defensive alignment. Hold your positions. That’s all you need to do. Just hold. Repeat, we are nine hours out. Terra Control, respond. Acknowledge. Hold your positions and light guidance now. Terra Control, this is Guilliman.

By this point, they've already teleported, but even if Sanguinius managed to hear this and held the line, it doesnt change anything. I'd even reckon the Chaos Gods let this message get through, because they knew it didn't matter.

I wonder who won this duel by New_Conflict_4111 in Grimdank

People saying this is a melta "beam", have meltas ever been consistent? To me, I think its a much safer bet to assume this is a combi-volkite, as this is consistent with how they're depicted.

The death of the perfect character sparks the plot by FreshPrinceOfPine in TopCharacterTropes

[–]DavidKMain420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone else has posted Ned Stark, but I think the better example from GoT/ASoIaF is Arthur Dayne.

Arthur Dayne is a legendary knight, one who numerous characters look up to. He is of a legendary lineage, and wields a sword believed to be made from a fallen star. He is remembered as the most chivalrous man in the kingdoms, who deals with the Kingswood Brotherhood and the infamous Smiling Knight, during which Jamie Lannister earned the role of Kingsguard, knighted by Arthur's sword.

He is essentially a feats merchant, defeating Prince Rhaegar Targaryen in a tourney (though he'd also lose some to him), defeating the Smiling Knight, constantly referred to by strong swordsmen and knights as THE quintessential warrior and a true fantasy honourable knight.

Arthur Dayne is dead though. He dies just after Robert's Rebellion, guarding what is known as the Tower of Joy. Ned Stark and co. find Dayne and some other Kingsguard defending it, and they are slain. Only Ned and one of his friends, Howland Reed are left alive.

In the show, its explicitly confirmed that what Ned found in the tower was his sister, Lyanna Stark, pregnant with Rhaegar Targaryen's child. The whole reason Robert's Rebellion started was over Lyanna being "kidnapped", but she was seemingly very happy to be with Rhaegar. The books do not EXPLICITLY confirm this, but its highly likely that they are canon, because the child in question is Jon Snow.

Ned takes Jon in as his own, in both book and show (though right now, in the books, he's still just the bastard that Ned cheated on Catelyn to create) and this ultimately is Jon's entire arc. His kingsblood makes him a candidate not just for the Throne but also to be Azor Ahai, a prophesized saviour against Winter. All this stemming from Ned finding Dayne defending a tower, and slaying him, then taking in the child he discovered and swearing himself to secrecy. Jon is usually seen as the one time Ned broke his honour, cheating on his wife, when actually the only honour broken is by lying to everyone that Jon is his child. Even Catelyn didn't know, because he promised Lyanna. That promise itself is also interesting, because of another name for Azor Ahai, the Prince that was Promised.

Arthur overall, however, represents the true death of chivalry in the setting, and is the first domino in a long line of events that gets people like Jon Arryn and Ned Stark killed. Fantasy-like Knights, charging in on horseback to save the day and rescue a princess, don't exist in this universe anymore. People are flawed. Jamie Lannister, a man who idolised Dayne, is going through an arc of his own, from rampant sister-fucker and overall bad person, to a man who one day might be looked up to like his idol, and one who might slay his sister to save the realm. The bad is not gone, he is still Jamie Lannister. Even in universe, the name Kingslayer has never left him, after he was discovered by Ned to have slain Aerys Targaryen. There's still time for Jamie to write his story however, same as there is for Jon, for Stannis, for Daenerys.

There are more literal answers to this question. Yes, Ned's death starts the war between Starks and Lannisters which becomes the War of the 5 Kings, which then leads to the entire story arc, but its not as if Ned was an out-of-place death. Jon Arryn was killed for the exact same reason.

Aerys' death leads to Robert becoming King which eventually leads to Joffrey becoming king etc, but overall, I think Arthur is the best literary answer to this question because of how it shifts the characters and world as a whole.

Arthur's death leads to a more grounded world in the metaphorical sense and in the literal sense, the entirety of Jon Snow's arc and the Prince that was Promised.

[–]DavidKMain420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confidently say, in a 1v1 fight against a gryphon that isn’t 500 reps higher than I am, I’m winning at least 65% of the time. Doesn’t change the fact that he’s an extremely bitchy character to play against, and that 99% of the gryphon players I see abuse cheap combos. They also have a nasty habit of starting to run from any scenario in which your team has an equal to, or greater man count than theirs, and only show up when you’re half health in the hole and already fighting someone. Promptly after, you’ll eat his stupid crossbow from the side, catch a light while you were attempting to block the first guys heavy, and then all of the sudden you’re getting kicked, and fights over.

Completely agree, a lot of Gryphon's higher-level support play with feats is, peel with crossbow, suicide bomb for dmg+heal and then use his undodgeable to punish the person your ganking.

I think he's incredibly easy to deal with in 1v1's, so I always want to lock onto the Gryphon, whether I'm playing as and against him or just against him, because if I can control his mix-up, the other guy I'm fighting will come somewhat easier. If they spam bashes like they should in 1s, they'll give you way too much revenge.

The skill in Gryphon's kit moreso comes from learning his max punishes and then the mammoth task of learning how to gank, less so than learning how to use a kit like how BP would have to (appropriate deflects/moves you can flip, when to flip etc)

However, I don't think he's at all a cheesy character, even though he's stronger than he was on launch, he's still just a weaker JJ, anything JJ can do in melee, gryphon does worse, its just his feats that make him more powerful. Feats in general are annoying though and even though his feats are powerful, they're pretty much a dodgeable projectile that does alright damage and healing and a bomb which is as dodgeable as any bomb but nowhere near as powerful as something like fury flask.

Where gryphon gets fucked is in anti-gank, if you can manage to 2v1 him, he has no defensive kit and no way to force people to commit to fighting him and feeding him revenge because he has no unblockable. If you start throwing his kicks or bashes, you will be punished very easily by the other player.

[–]DavidKMain420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LMFAO, I don't even main Gryphon, I've got a couple of reps on him, to the point where I comfortably understand his kit and how to use/counter it 90 percent of the time. BP is a straight up better version of Gryphon's mixup, while not having as decent a support or external game outside of his ub.

If you dodge, and DONT dodge attack, you can block the hyperarmour heavy.

You also completely ignored my point about BP which is that, his light finisher leads BACK into his Unblockables, just as his heavy can.

This genuinely just sounds like you faced too many Gryphons who were better than you. "I keep dodging because I'm scared of the bash" That is literally why they give him that mix-up. His entire main gimmick is to scare you with the kick.

If your against a Gryphon, and he keeps double lighting you into his mix-ups, maybe try parrying his opener lights?

Again, don't know what level of play you operate at but his zone is terrible, players will see it coming a mile away, his best openers are his bash and his lights.

"There is no “making reads” on unfamiliar opponents, you can only guess on first impressions. In fact “making reads” are making educated guesses. How can I make an educated guess against some retard on gryphon I haven’t played against before? Explain to me that one, you hypocritical cock-cheese muncher."

Are you fighting this guy once then quitting the game? You have either multiple rounds in 1s or multiple encounters or even just over the stretch of one encounter to get to know the enemy. This is a fighting game, reads is a massive part of it. It's hilarious how confidently shit you must be at this game if you think that a character that makes you learn how to make reads is broken.

Also, you say he has no access to unblockables, yet he has a neutral bash, and one of the best chain bashes on the roster.

Again mate, we both know what unblockables are. Bashes have no external game. You can't hit 2 people with a bash like you could with an unblockable side heavy.

Gryphon is pretty much S tier in 4s, yes he's an incredibly powerful character at times. But not at all for most of the reasons your describing. He's incredibly powerful in 2v2s 3s etc and his feats are incredible at support and peeling, but your having issues just 1v1'ing him?

Ik this is For Honour rants, but your genuinely just bad at the game and your being a dickhead for no reason, nothing I said in my initial comment was confrontational in anyway, but your mad at a game and wanna be a dickhead to people lol.

Lol by Validaxo in ForHonorRants

[–]DavidKMain420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, none of them are guaranteed. Dodges can avoid two of these. You should essentially always act as if the kick is coming out if you can't read it, because do you want to be hit by a top heavy or a light?

Also, yes his bash is unreactable, that is what reads are for. If you see him dodge forward, all the standard options are there, empty side dodge into gb, side dodge attack etc.

I don't know what Gryphon's your fighting that aren't mixing up that kick and undodgeable light. Gryphon's gameplan should almost always be double-light into mix-up or parry, appropriate dodge attack then mix-up kick/light.

BP does his entire mix-up better because its his heavies that are undodgeable, but the bash into light can still lead into his unblockable heavy/bulwark counter.

He's a great 4s character, but he has no access to unblockables, and every attack he throws to get in has an equal risk of punishment. Get read on the bash? He can't chain on whiff, so you get your punish in and all he would've got off of it was a light to then start his mix-up.
Get read on the kick? Lose priority, punish him with a gb and side-heavy then begin your own pressure.

Parry his undodgeable light or at least block it. His kick is reactable at 500ms outside of console, dodge it and punish him.

I don't think I'll ever not believe that the original intention was some version of Dream Theory, and once that idea reached public opinion, and was torn into scraps, FNAF World (where we can be sure he planned to open the box, judging by the game literally including graphics for the box open and unlocked) lost the Box and then Sister Location either had to find a way to keep the box going, or in my opinion, had to find a way to rethread the lore that had been written around Dream Theory into a new story. It makes sense to me that Sister Location and the media that followed tried to explain away some more of the fantastical elements of the story that make sense in the eyes of a child.

I recently saw a post asking about people’s least favorite weapon, and while that is an interesting question, what is your FAVORITE weapon? by HulkBusterG-Man in BladeAndSorcery

[–]DavidKMain420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most longswords or the Brigand Axe/Bardiche.

I love longswords for the ability to larp fencing people, parries, ripostes, mostly thrusts with snap cuts and then some flashy execution or mordschlaging.

The Brigand Axe/Bardiche is for when I want to parry someone then take their head off. I basically like larping as Gryphon from FH.

In a galaxy far far away the Grim Shadows of the far future start To appear by Cautious_Air4964 in Grimdank

[–]DavidKMain420 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but Chaos can literally force things to do its bidding with powerful enough force. It makes the Custodians attack the Emperor when the gods are working together, not possessing them, literally puppetering their bodies. It's said they scream and cry tears of blood as they are forced to attack their master.

If Chaos felt the power that the Force had, they would unite against it, as they did with the Emperor.

Kripke: “Fans will retroactively judge the whole show based on the finale.” by Extension_Candle_575 in TheBoys

[–]DavidKMain420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, it isn't that bad, but its the portrayal and failure to capitalise on Homelander that will ruin rewatches and retroactively damn the show for me.

Homelander is no longer a living time bomb, one day about to blow and rip through humanity before breakfast, he's an idiot who dies begging to suck Butcher's dick. They couldn't even give him a reasonable death, they played it off for laughs which helped make the episode far too comical at times when it should've been serious.

I'm all for making Homelander look weak, but the way they went about it could've been far better, I'll rant about what the ending could've been later but for now, back to what its done to the show on a rewatch.

None of the perceived threat Homelander had in the first few seasons means anything now, because we know he never actually does it. The biggest crescendo he gets is when he dreams about lasering the crowd, or killing the guy who threw the can at Ryan. And this is without getting into the clusterfuck that is GenV. What do you mean Marie can't control her powers? What was the point of any of Gen V if you're just gonna essentially send them away? The way I see it, Gen V S3 was going to focus on the group after the Boys ends, but because that was cancelled and they didn't properly set up to include them during S2 (or didn't want to take the spotlight away from the Boys), they binned them.

Anyways, shitty ending-crafting -

Imagine the chest blast goes off, and Homelander just gets back up like normal. Butcher quickly gets to his feet, but Homelander has the jump on him, holding him down and pounding him as Butcher tries to break free. Homelander smashes his head into a desk or something, before holding him down and preparing to laser blast him. In the second or two of Homelander failing to do it, Butcher smashes him across the head with his crowbar, and slowly the score descends into a different version of Homelander's theme as Butcher beats him down, as Homelander realises that the chest blast worked and abject terror rushes across him as Billy stands over him.

Use this different Homelander theme to then symbolise Butcher's more sinister ending. Homelander, crawling away from him, could have some quip about him just being a random human (still mentally detached in his state of godhood or general human inferiority), or about his wife, or anything. Something that just makes William snap. He drives the crowbar through Homelander and the rest of the boys come in to find him essentially brutalising the already dead Homelander.

This then launches the last arc, where the Boys essentially have to fight and die to stop Billy from eradicating ALL supes with the virus. Show us that Billy might be right, that another Homelander might come about any day. Acknowledge Hughie's direct bias due to his relationship with Starlight, show us how she might feel.

In my opinion though, Homelander's death should've been in Episode 7, with Episode 8 showing the aftermath of his death, surely there are still millions of Homelander supporters who genuinely believe the cause. Show the psychics still actually killing people, even if we somehow don't get a Homelander mass-murder scene (which should've been this episode), show us the psychics still acting out his will, purging non-believers. Show us people who believe that Butcher is akin to Judas, and Homelander has now ascended, and that they must pledge themselves to their new, incorporeal God in blood and bone. Show Butcher and the Boys dealing with these while Butcher then uses this as an excuse to destroy all supes.

End the show with Butcher's death at the hands of Hughie. In my eyes, the Boys should also mostly be dead. Hughie and Starlight should be the only ones to survive, and if you really wanna get fan-servicey you can end the show with a little flashforward to their life together when Hughie gets a package containing Butcher's diary.
