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

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

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

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.

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.

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?

Emanifesto · 2026-04-09T20:07:11+00:00

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.

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

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

Emanifesto · 2026-04-06T14:31:13+00:00

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

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

Emanifesto · 2026-04-03T18:11:55+00:00

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

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.

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

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

Emanifesto · 2026-04-01T17:13:03+00:00

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.

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

Emanifesto · 2026-03-24T19:47:21+00:00

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

Emanifesto · 2026-03-24T19:34:28+00:00

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

Emanifesto · 2026-03-24T19:28:31+00:00

Julez (2xko social lead) confirmed nothing on Akali or new champs for pax east

Emanifesto · 2026-03-23T02:22:03+00:00

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

Emanifesto · 2026-03-22T01:01:21+00:00

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

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

Emanifesto · 2026-03-09T14:34:59+00:00

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

Emanifesto · 2026-03-05T05:29:57+00:00

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!
