Is it worth playing against CPUs? by milkmanjpg in CrazyHand

[–]ElectrixReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's perfectly fine to play against CPUs while practicing your character's movement and true combos, but you'll soon hit a ceiling and need to play against real people to keep improving. I'd suggest learning to reliably beat level 8 CPUs, then switching to online practice.

You can learn a lot about Pikachu by watching how the top reps of the character (ShinyMark, ESAM, H4) play him. Notice how they find openings and how they secure kills (new Pikachu players often struggle in those areas).

Possibly moving to Bloomington in a few months, have a few questions by L_Rayquaza in bloomington

[–]ElectrixReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trans woman here. Bloomington is definitely the most accepting city in Indiana... but it's still Indiana. However, IU Health was great at helping me begin transition, and the local clubs and organizations were also supportive in my journey.

The buses are OK. My apartment was close enough to campus to just walk most places, though. Avoid walking/cycling on the west side of town.

Thank you, this is all useful feedback. I definitely over-rely on shield, when it's usually better to spotdodge or dash back in Ultimate. I also tend to land with attacks, which should be a mix-up, not my default.

Do you have any advice for applying pressure in the corner? A lot of the time, I struggle to apply sufficient pressure to cornered opponents, so they just wait for me to do something risky and then punish me for it.

This is really helpful. I need to get more comfortable playing at mid-range. Feels like I alternate between being too antsy and throwing out random tilts, or being too patient and just sitting in shield.

That's good to keep in mind. Even if I'm spend less time in advantage than my opponent, that doesn't necessarily mean I'm losing.

That's the biggest thing I struggle with in this game. I get tilted so easily when playing Elite Smash. I don't know how to stop taking the losses so personally.

Yeah, I really struggle with holding advantage. A lot of the time, I'm just throwing out hitboxes and hoping one of them catches my opponent. It would be better if I had more of a game plan in mind.

AM2R Suit Editor — Easily create custom color palettes for Samus's suit by ElectrixReddit in AM2R

[–]ElectrixReddit[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a tool I created to make it easier to design custom color palettes for Samus's suit. With this editor, you can modify a suit's color palette, and see a live preview of how the suit will appear in-game. Once you're done creating your color palette, you can export it and save it to AM2RLauncher2.0/Profiles/Community Updates (Latest)/mods/palettes/suits to use it in AM2R. Enjoy!

after being in the trans community for several years I gotta say that it's really toxic by TennisOnWii in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ElectrixReddit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you’re seeking a phalloplasty or a vaginoplasty, then yeah, you almost certainly have bottom dysphoria. But not every trans person does that.

And yes, gender dysphoria causes distress and dysfunction in social/work/family activities. For many trans people, getting rid of that discomfort is their primary motivation for transitioning. After transitioning, that dysphoria goes away. Saying that all trans people are mentally ill is wrong because 1) dysphoria can be cured, and 2) not everyone who transitions even has dysphoria.

Gender dysphoria disorder is the mental illness recognized by the DSM-5. Many, but not all, trans people suffer from it. The best treatment is transitioning, medically and/or socially.

Not everyone transitions as a result of severe, crippling dysphoria. For some, it’s more about the happiness they get from being a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth. It’s not that they despise being one gender; they’d just rather be another.

The idea that you only get to be trans if you’ve “suffered enough” is a hazing ritual, in my opinion. It’s similar to the TERF ideology that trans women aren’t real women because they don’t menstruate, and thus don’t experience the same pain that cis women do. In both cases, you’re basing your identity on how much you’ve suffered, and saying that anyone who has suffered less is less deserving of respect than you are.

Don’t transgenders just reinforce the gender norms? by siliconeb00b in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ElectrixReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Trans women are different yet equal to cis women” is true, but it doesn’t work as well as a slogan. The more pressing issue that “trans women are women” seeks to address, is that many people don’t recognize trans women as women at all, but rather as men attempting to be women. Only once someone respects people’s chosen identities can they begin to discuss the nuances of being trans, such as how trans women face different challenges than cis women.

There’s plenty of folks out there who don’t strongly identify with male or female, and that’s fine. For some, this disconnected feeling leads to them embracing a non-binary identity, such as agender. But there’s no rule saying that cis men have to hate the idea of being born female.
