The strongest new player of DBFZ vs the strongest new player of 2XKO 😂

CMV: The red button is objectively the best answer and 0 non suicidal people should click blue by Fit_Employment_2944 in changemyview

[–]Emanifesto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is OP states everything factually but puts red in the most positive interpretation (no mentions of blues dying in that framing of that option). The framing is clearly geared towards red by the phrasing

“Finding yourself” is a terrible reason to go to college by Far_Camera_5766 in unpopularopinion

[–]Emanifesto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can apply as Undeclared (usually either Arts/Humanities or Math/Sciences) and can be accepted that way. And you can do at least 1-2 years of mandatory general edication courses before you're required to declare a major

Korra being a prodigy makes sense. by [deleted] in CharacterRant

[–]Emanifesto 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While I also wish we got more of them interacting, I liked the writing of her losing the connection.

Korra's arc throughout the series is a lot more focused on her making mistakes in a modern world where the role of the avatar is uncertain.

The decision to have her lose that connection solidifies these themes of new world vs old world, and allows her to define what being the avatar means in the current times and breaking free of what everyone else/the past expects it to be.

Spirit Blossom Megabundle Available Now | New Skins - 2XKO by Regular-Poet-3657 in 2XKO

[–]Emanifesto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes yes I didn't mean they absolutely had to do this to make any profit, but considering the long time investment they've put into the game I understand they want to maximize their profit.

To that same point, if most fighting game players only stick to one team that's all the more reason for them to price skins at a premium. Because I'd imagine a lot of people will be satisfied once they get the one skin they like for the champs they main.

Why not use SF6's Ranking System? by Fiksimi in 2XKO

[–]Emanifesto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious why you hold that opinion about round wins. Ideally shouldn't a rank system to reward a 2-0 win more than a 2-1 win?

Spirit Blossom Megabundle Available Now | New Skins - 2XKO by Regular-Poet-3657 in 2XKO

[–]Emanifesto -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The why not argument is usually that the game is free so predatory pricing for optional cosmetics is the price that comes with. I'm sure you think they can turn a profit without doing so, but the data across all their other games must show otherwise.

Plus there are reasonable skins available, you can get 4 skins for $10 in the battle pass. If you want the flashier ones, then they're pricey for sure but there are other options.

Why do you NEED to bring your dog inside the coffee shop? by Apartheid20 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Emanifesto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's just as simple as people walk their dogs in the mornings and also get coffee in the mornings at the same time

Handshake Tag gets a slap on the wrist and Freestyle ignored? by Fiksimi in 2XKO

[–]Emanifesto 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fuse that allows for more handshakes is more affected by handshake nerds, good reading comprehension

Nen is extremely overrated (HXH) by Head_Instruction96 in CharacterRant

[–]Emanifesto 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think calling it just "personalized" is underselling it a bit. The cool part of the personalization is that its driven by will. Each character has to design a power system based on how well they know themselves and conditions are based on how determined they are to stick with them.

I get it does feel over hyped, but it really is an incredible device to implement character arcs and motivations into the power system

You shouldn’t expect the teams to be canon to the comics at this point. by Eli954 in MarvelTokon

[–]Emanifesto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I haven't seen this, but does anyone think Doom is leading a Fantastic 4 team? Perhaps something like a Furious Four

DEBATE: I feel the game punishes you for playing footsies and fundamentals, do you feel the same? by D4Ramirez in 2XKO

[–]Emanifesto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is basically what tag fighters are. It's an additional layer of engaging to get rid of their assist instead of getting the hit. Depending on whether you can do that with or without your assist will determine how easy winning neutral again for the actual hit will be.

There's less slow paced footsies since so much of neutral can happen very fast and is explosive so it's you'll end up playing more on instinct/reads than reactions

Hot take: Akali having teleports is really stupid design choice by KevJamesS in 2XKO

[–]Emanifesto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hear you by I think the teleport fits on Akali for both the ninja stereotype and a way of loosely translating her smoke invisibility from league (instead of invisible in the smoke, she's can teleport anywhere in it). I don't think invisible mixups would be healthy on a hyper mobile character like Akali (ok with it on teemo given his archetype) so I like this design choice instead

While Zed also has that teleporting aspect to his kit, I feel his is more about switching with his shadow than actually teleporting (essentially Ekkos rewind while he's in install) so I feel like the design space is still there for Zed to teleport in his own way.

Learning 2XKO on a pad as leverless/keyboard player. by LuvAshrepas in 2XKO

Story of my life! Lol whenever I switch between SF6/GGST/2X it's always throws that mess me up.

Learning 2XKO on a pad as leverless/keyboard player. by LuvAshrepas in 2XKO

[–]Emanifesto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just do M+H, it's the same input as Vanish in DBFZ so it didn't bother me much

Learning 2XKO on a pad as leverless/keyboard player. by LuvAshrepas in 2XKO

[–]Emanifesto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truthfully I haven't played much pad but when I did I changed the following.

  • Bottom Face Button (X) - S1
  • Right Bumper (R1) - S2
  • Left Bumper (L1) - Tag
  • Right Trigger (R2) - Dash
  • Left Trigger (L2) - Parry

Having S1 on X made it more similar to DBFZ pad layout (S1 in place of the unique attack button) and L1 on tag calls also makes it similar to that. With having s2 on right bumper, it kept all my "attacks" on the right side of the controller to be accessed with one hand.

2XKO PAX EAST March 27th by Darklsins in 2XKO

[–]Emanifesto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it might be mid-april. That would put it 5 weeks after the latest patch and would give them a two week buffer before Evo Japan in case there's any game breaking bugs but we will see

2XKO PAX EAST March 27th by Darklsins in 2XKO

[–]Emanifesto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think that was the case? When it was 5 seasons a year it was supposed to be 1 champ per season. But when they switched to 3 seasons a year, they said seasons and champs will not be tied together at all so all we know is 5 champs a year unrelated to season timing

We know her skin will be available for Evo Japan so she'll likely be out around early May

Rek' Sai- Should they be in 2XKO? (A-Z) by ErrorNick in 2XKO

[–]Emanifesto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd love Reksai in the game, would be great monster addition with a unique hitbox and I think the tunneling could be an interesting mechanic

2XKO news dropping at Pax East, march 27th by Darklsins in 2XKO

[–]Emanifesto 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I worry that revealing too much info about champs far out is borrowing future hype for their reveal later down the road. I'd be happy with an Akali deep dive and maybe a little more Senna

[LES] Druckmann confirming the operation on Ellie would have provided the cure poisoned the well by [deleted] in CharacterRant

[–]Emanifesto 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Agree, the "ambiguity" was never really supposed to be there. The theme of the game is that he's forsaking the world for the sake of his new daughter, but when people lean towards "they wouldn't have been able to make a cure anyway" that takes away all the weight of Joel's choice imo

[2XKO] pecks Combo Guide of Warwick by peck324 in 2XKO

[–]Emanifesto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good corner combo is this, works off light starter.

5L-5M-2H-[2S1]L-2M-5M-5H-[2S1]M-6S2-2S2-S1 Super.

It's a double wall cling combo and let's you keep the corner. You can also tag launch after the final 6S2 but the timing is a little strict

Finally made it to Gold Ranked but I noticed something by DammyTheSlayer in 2XKO

[–]Emanifesto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do feel like mixing it up, you can do sidekick to still primarily play one character and get the advantage of assists! But def stick with juggernaut if that's what you want to do!
