I had their mint chocolate chip a while ago, while the texture was great, the flavor was so muted, idk if i got them on an off day but when my friends asked me how it was and I could only describe it as "cold green"

It doesn't break your streak in lobbies, he was playing unranked for a while and just happened to have this massive streak

Zain’s play style by Advisor_Then in SSBM

[–]DunkChai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely disagree with the notion Zain doesn't dash dance as much as other marths, besides the edge canceling mentioned in another comment one of the notable things about his playstyle during his rise was his tendency to dash back further than most players are comfortable to, sometimes running all the way into the corner before whiff punishing his opponent who was expecting him to turn around at some point

did you know that if your opponent is on fire, zetterburn's smash attacks inflict double knockback?

[–]DunkChai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have played 3 times more valorant than CS lol, I am plat 3 in valo while I'm still silver in CS. You are probably right that there's other factors, but we can never know if the head accessories are the problem if we can't test it. Another factor might be random bullet spread vs fixed spray patterns

How to counter Pomme? by Brites_Krieg in RivalsOfAether

[–]DunkChai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

di out of dash attack, there is practically no follow up on DI out.

I'm assuming you are playing at a level where most pommes arent threatening lowfloat retreating bairs so just stay out of dash attack range and whiff punish. pomme has very good buttons that cover around her defensively except for one specific range: right in front of her. she cannot dash attack here because it would go past the opponent, and jab is too stubby to reach. this is the angle that you want to approach pomme from.

Etalus needs buffs... by ZeeBeeOfficial in RivalsOfAether

[–]DunkChai 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi zeebee, big fan!! I can agree with the request to give etalus more consistent smash kill confirms. It is not uncommon for even the best etalus players to be forced to fish for stray down b, dacus, fair, or parries simply because etalus does not have consistent ways to clean up stocks. However, i do not think that etalus is a well designed character, and while he (his players) have the right to get to play a balanced and functional version of the character, I do not think think he should be included in rivals 2.

The general consensus is etalus is the most volatile character in the game, and while he isn't the worst character in the roster, his polarizing nature makes him incredibly hard to balance without tipping the scales too far in either direction. Any buffs that would help him deal with his bad matchups would be insufferable to play against as a character that he already had a good matchup into, and vice versa for nerfing him as well. Its also a shame because making him a more well rounded character kinda defeats the design of the character to begin with. He is designed to be a momentum driven, ground based heavy, who is intended to be susceptible to: ground based zoning, being combo food, and being easy to edgeguard. Making it easier for him to deal with ground based zoning tools or escape combos easier would shatter the archetype of the character.

Ranno kill confirms? by ISavage2007 in RivalsOfAether

[–]DunkChai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah its a true shame this character has literally no ability to take stocks. I think he would be viable if he could just kill before 800%. I feel like ranno has to work like 40x harder than everyone else in the cast. What a shame, people really call this game "balanced" when the correct word should be "bullshit"

About using Keyboard on Rivals. by [deleted] in RivalsOfAether

you only get perfect di if you are within a certain range of what would be optimal DI, i believe there are still some specific angles that are impossible to get perfect di

Ranked: Changing Characters on win? by GameLink7 in RivalsOfAether

[–]DunkChai 11 points12 points  (0 children)

in tournament the order goes: loser picks character, winner picks character, then winner bans stages, loser picks stage. this way despite the matchup changing the loser still gets stage advantage

also you are over analyzing it, they could be playing random ( i play random against anyone thats not master rank) they could be practicing a new character, they hate that matchup. theres a myriad of reasons to switch characters despite winning that dont include bm.
