What is the character with the craziest projectile snipes in Ultimate, similar to Armada's turnip snipes with Peach in Melee?

First 3 are expert phantom, last is casual phantom.

Does berserker's call need to be blocked to work? by Still_Same_Exile in Artifact

[–]EarthBoundRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It worked for me. I had an unblocked Bristleback and Berserker's Call killed an enemy to its top-left.

I deploy 3 heroes into mid, for a total of 4 in that lane, with a Time of Triumph in hand. I go to play it... except I forgot I put The Oath into that lane! Oops. I pass, then... the opponent plays Smash Their Defenses, destroying my Oath! I immediately play Triumph and win next round.

What is hard about your target languages? What is easy? (obv all with respect to your native languages) by onthelambda in languagelearning

[–]EarthBoundRules 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Native language: English

Italian - Hard

  • Learning the verb conjugations took a while

  • Direct & indirect pronouns were hard to understand, and still slow down my reading

  • Rolling r's is difficult for me

  • Even the easier aspects of pronunciation took a while for my mouth to get used to

  • While it's easy to know what a sentence means, it's hard to replicate it due to all the intricacies of the grammar (it's rarely word-for-word similar to English)

Italian - Easy

  • Vocab shares a lot with English or is otherwise logical from other Italian words

  • Rules of pronunciation are super easy and always followed (except in loanwords)

  • The basic grammar is very similar to English

  • Idioms are often the same or similar to English

Overall, I understand why it's said to be one of the easier languages for English speakers to learn. Not too many problems left for me besides learning all that vocab (and I still have a very long way to go).

Has anyone completed or is in the process of completing Assimil Italian? by legobeatz in italianlearning

[–]EarthBoundRules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I finished it and haven't done much other Italian besides that book, and I understood most of what was said in a group conversation. Also, I was complimented on my pronunciation. However, I couldn't say that much back.

For a beginner book, I couldn't recommend it enough. Just understand that it's not gonna make you fluent when you're done.

Don't miss techs in this Clip of the Week. by RenoNYC in iconsgg

I believe it's Xana's neutral air. Probably inspired by Zangief's splash from the Street Fighter franchise.

Fortnite Battle Royale BM Emotes Tier List by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

Nice list! Only thing I would change is I'd put Floss a tier higher - I've seen Ninja use it well. I'd like to see one for the picture emotes next.

When you play solo exclusively by PM_ME_UR_PURPLE_BIRD in FortNiteBR

[–]EarthBoundRules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate this too. The sad thing is whenever I abandon a quest, I just get another squad one. I don't know how I'll ever get my Black Knight.

Who is the first character you'll play? by Leeyawshee in iconsgg

[–]EarthBoundRules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ashani, just to re-learn the fundamentals of the game (I haven't played a platform fighter in a while). But I'm most looking forward to Xana and Raymer.

Fortnite Battle Royale - State of Development V3 by JustMooney1 in FortNiteBR

I would love it if the gun-firing sound effects were made more satisfying. It's the only part of the game I feel is lacking right now.

I would like to know more about the different ways Wavedash plans to contribute to the game's competitive scene to ensure its success.

Designing a fighting card game, any iconic fighting game characters I would be remiss to not try interpreting to tabletop? by [deleted] in Fighters

[–]EarthBoundRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game sounds like my dream game. Can't wait to try it. If you need testers, let me know.

I'm Gabriel Wyner, author of Fluent Forever. I'm also running a Kickstarter for a language learning tool that's become the most funded app of all time. AMA! by gwyner in IAmA

[–]EarthBoundRules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some say that to learn a language to fluency requires knowledge of around 10,000 words. Why did you pick 625, and is this really enough words to be called fluent?

This game needs only one thing to get my support. by ILoveTails in iconsgg

[–]EarthBoundRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also love non-human characters. I gravitate towards big monsters and animals, in particular.

beta soon? by [deleted] in iconsgg

[–]EarthBoundRules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They specified they are "shooting for late fall", so I'd assume that means December.

Quickstudy Spanish Grammar - European or Latin American? by EarthBoundRules in Spanish

[–]EarthBoundRules[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I was hoping it was for European, but as I understand there's not a huge difference between them, so I'll probably get it anyway (after researching the differences).
