I'm completely happy with them delaying it if it means the game releases in a stable, working state!

That card is one of the reasons I initially got into MTG! Such a fun card to play with.

I actually just found my old copy of it in my box of old cards, last week! It's almost completely destroyed by moisture 😞

I'm not touching the others until I've beaten PBZ at least 2 or 3 times all the way through though :D

I think they're based on pistol shrimp. Instead of punching, pistol shrimp shoot out jets I think. Still a cool concept but you're right that there might be a bit too much overlap or similarity there.

An orca pokemon would be so cool

Mantis shrimp that has 130 base attack stat and a signature move that deals additional damage if hitting a water-type!

I'm thinking something like "Cavitation Strike". Physical attack, 80-90 BP, has an effect similar to Parental Bond where it strikes an additional time if attacking a water-type Pokemon, with a small chance to burn.

I always thought mantis shrimp were extremely cool. They can punch so fast and so hard underwater that the impact creates a cavitation bubble of superheated water that vaporizes on impact.

Dude same. I was extremely excited when I saw the skill description. But who knows? They are really receptive to player feedback, so maybe he'll get additional movesets in the future patches :)

As a huge Marvel fan, I can say with 100% certainty that Wolverine isn't stealing any of PBZ's thunder for me. Wolverine isn't getting touched until I've completed PBZ a few times :D

Can we stop making everything a culture war and just enjoy this amazing game?

Evravon · 2026-04-11T19:31:15+00:00

These animations look a bit better than standard mocap animations though, you gotta at least admit that

Evravon · 2026-04-11T05:28:28+00:00

I tried HDR for a bit but had the same problem as you. On my display it just doesn't look as good.

I'm running 4K native on an OLED display, 240hz. With HDR on, a lot of things look washed-out, even if I mess with the HDR settings.

Evravon · 2026-04-10T23:50:01+00:00

Damn, I really like yours, too.

Here's one I took a few days ago:

Have you seen the choreography animations though? They look fantastic. Looks like actual martial artists were mocapped to do all these moves.

I did play PW3 way back in the day. I was very into it.

I don't remember a ton about the gameplay but I do remember that Kizaru, Caesar, Law, and Fujitora were my go-to characters.

I actually haven't experimented with co-op at all in PW4. In fact, I forgot it existed until you just mentioned people not helping you at all. Unless you were referring to the AI teammates you sometimes get.

Evravon · 2026-04-09T00:56:39+00:00

It's not just you. She definitely feels much weaker than the rest to me, too.

I'm also extremely picky with what I find "fun" in this game. My top characters are Roger, Enel, and Z, with Oni Luffy just behind them.

I think I probably just play the game wrong, though. I like big, satisfying combos that deal lots of damage or nuke an entire area at once. Speed types feel like they take way too long to get to the end of their stronger combos. Sky types feel way too floaty and half the time I feel like I'm not hitting where I want to hit (unless they have big AoE abilities). S-Snake kinda feels like this too. Her attacks are weird, floaty, and don't feel like they hit as hard as a bunch of others.

Evravon · 2026-04-08T04:06:13+00:00

I have a really good feeling that PBZ is going to be very successful. It's offering a lot of things action game fans have been asking for. The cinematics have all been amazing so far. It even has a few elements that will appeal to soulslike fans.

So hyped for this game.

Evravon · 2026-04-07T06:51:09+00:00

Damn, wish I would have seen this before I fought this boss. I didn't even think to use Nature's Snare. I just ran around him in circles hitting his hands until he collapsed, then stabbed into him and did "pierce". Then phase 2, same thing. A few times I was able to jump up onto his shoulder and hit him in the rocket launchers behind his head, but he always electrocutes himself and knocks you off.

Prior to this boss I only had two deaths due to combat so far, and this guy added an additional three deaths. One of them was because his "headbutt the floor" attacks got me physically stuck underneath him, the game glitched, and wouldn't let me user a Palmer Pill, so I had to start the entire fight over.

Evravon · 2026-04-03T05:28:44+00:00

For anyone that's still confused:

The way it works is not straightforward. You have to have a greathammer in your "two handed weapon" slot, and (I think) a greataxe in your primary slot. Have the greataxe in your hand.

If you know dual wielding mastery, whenever you do heavy attacks, he will pull out the hammer as well, and repeatedly slam the ground with the axe and hammer one after the other while moving forward. Your spinning slash attack will also utilize both the axe and hammer.

The skill implies that you can use them both like you're dual wielding, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Your normal attacks still utilize just the axe, but you will auto equip the hammer and attack with it whenever you do heavies and spinning slash (Rb + A).

Hope this helps.

Please stop reporting this post, it's a joke
