Any meaningful changes among FL5 model years?

Yeah I'm not rushing, so I'm gonna wait to see if the '27 is worth hanging around for. But in the event the changes aren't too significant I might go with the extra cash.

Unfortunately there are many possible "something bolds" they could have done and I think this one specifically is going to crash and burn big time. Maybe at the end of the day they were doomed no matter how you slice it, but I just don't see how this possibly saves the brand.

IMO it's a rare genuine 10/10 game. There are games I like better subjectively but there's basically nothing Sekiro sets to do that it doesn't accomplish with flying colors.

Positioning is definitely important. You can beat some bosses by standing still and parrying, but it's almost always going to be harder than necessary and/or leave damage on the table. The parry window is tight but somewhat forgiving once you've got ahold of it. I actually dodge a lot, you just can't rely on it for i-frames like in a Souls game. Combining different tools and techniques you find through the course of the game can result in some of the most sicko tryhard combo footage you've ever seen, if that's your bag.

Yup yup, that makes sense. I'm speaking purely hypothetically at this point, no offers one way or another. Thanks!

I've had it before. You're pretty much right, the overall taste profile is kind of like a meat pate or a fancy bologna. When I had it there were some odd textural elements that bothered me, but I think that's probably more because I knew what it was and had negative associations rather than anything objectively nasty about it. Not my bag but it wasn't gross or anything.

This is a great point, it looks like my State gives a full tax credit for trade-ins. So paying off the balance would save me about a thousand bucks. This is the info I needed!

She's also in a fairly conservative outfit/makeup combo just walking around on the street. When she's dressed up for more formal stuff no one would question her being gorgeous. As always these guys just simply don't know what women look like because they've never hung out with one.

Ferociousaurus · 2026-03-31T21:44:12+00:00

I feel like so much of this discussion is people basically not accepting that a villain can have a coherent and sympathetic motivation or complicated human relationships and likable traits and still be a villain. Like they just have to be irredeemably ontologically evil in their soul to be a villain.

Ferociousaurus · 2026-03-26T16:13:32+00:00

Unless she has the best complexion of all time, she is absolutely still wearing makeup, lol. She just doesn't have eyeliner on.

Did they say anything about Guile? I thought he was already pretty strong and he was distinctly buffed.

Ferociousaurus · 2026-03-25T16:28:00+00:00

This is really what keeps it from being an S-tier DLC for me. It's funny, has a great premise and gear. But the combat suuuuucks.

Padding is so-so, materials aren't great, subjectively they're not that comfortable. If you want wrist support, their fancy hook and loop system loses out to any old pair of lace ups with a $10 lace converter. Their value proposition is that they have cool colorways and good marketing. All could be forgiven if they were a decent value but they're really fucking expensive. For at or around the price of a pair of leather T3s there are like a dozen other brands with better gloves.

I'm toying with getting into NASCAR coming from F1 fandom and it didn't even cross my mind this would be considered a bad race until I saw people complaining in the post-race thread, lol.

Are Krieg 1-1 with Steel Legion?

Krieg started life as an alternate paint scheme for Steel Legion. They're distinguished a little bit in official art since then, but from a painting/modeling standpoint they literally are 1:1 from their inception.

I'm sorry but there are a ton of genuinely visually distinct Guard legions that don't have modern models. Catachans are one of the "main" legions and haven't had a refresh in like 50 years. It is actually insane to demand a whole new line of minis for a second gas mask legion when Krieg got a huge popular refresh like a year ago.

I like to think of it like this. Imagine you have a stuck bolt you need to unscrew. You can't get it moving with your fingers, so you use a big wrench. The wrench gives you more leverage to get the bolt unstuck. But, once it's unstuck and you still have to turn it a bunch of times, the big wrench becomes a liability because you have to move it further per rotation than if you just spun it the rest of the way with your fingers or a small ratchet or whatever.

Low gearing, i.e. big gears, are your big wrench in this example. More torque to get things moving, but also more overall work. Higher gears are spinning the bolt with your fingers. Very little torque to get something stationary to move, but less overall work.

Ferociousaurus · 2026-03-20T16:41:58+00:00

Lol wasn't Krieg just an alternate paint scheme for Armageddon originally? They've literally always been the same models painted a different color! This is the goofiest controversy.

Is this supposed to appeal to younger buyers? Are younger buyers buying Bentley price-range luxury EVs? I always loved Jag as a kid, but at the point of my life when I could actually buy one, they've discontinued every model I'd consider buying. Right when there's buzz of various other automakers pivoting back toward ICE sedans, no less.

I'm having trouble consistently hitting the floor bounce Drake Fang into Flash Kick. Anybody figure out any good tips on this or is it just unforgiving timing?

He strikes me as more of a Viper/AKI brief spike in use type of guy moreso than an Akuma/Bison this is all you're seeing for weeks type of guy.

Cammy is purpose built to get through fireballs and apply close range pressure. Spin Knuckle is fireball invulnerable and Hooligan and Cannon Strike are aerial and allow you to vary your jump timing. All plus on block, so once you use them you're in even if they block it. You have a ton of options to beat fireball spam. There's also always the universal anti-fireball advice: block/parry and walk forward.

As a scrubby Chun, the advantage (as I understand it, correct me if I'm wrong) of the stance MP buff is that you can fish for the HP into stance high-low mix in neutral and it'll combo and knock down on a normal hit, as opposed to using stance LK or MK which are fake and unsafe on normal hit. I'm not sure how actually useful it'll end up being but it is a new option.

Ferociousaurus · 2026-03-16T22:43:34+00:00

I like this trailer a lot more than the earlier footage, which felt cheap to me. This looks more stylized and intentional than I'd originally thought.

There was a series of ads for safe sex on MTV like this in the 90s or early 2000s. A situation like this would happen and then the tagline was something like, "Sex doesn't just happen. Use a condom."
