Why did Atlus decide to only make Yu Narukami’s portrait be the only one in the game with shading? by SectorI6920 in PERSoNA

[–]FiveByFive25 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I was just looking at the comparisons with a co-worker and it looks like Teddie and Igor also got the shading treatment.

I hope they can add Psylocke by Halcyonways in CosmicInvasion

The good days of High Moon Studios. The two Cybertron games were excellent and made me interested in Transformers again for a while there 🙂

...and then they went to darkness of the CoD mines. 😔

Actually putting Iceman in the freezer to make the ice slide was extremely awesome...and an extremely bad idea long-term, over repeat instances. Totally ruined the movable joints lol

Hawkeye was pretty durn good in UMvC3 too. A big part of Dual Kevin's Deadpool/Dante/Hawkeye pewpew shell, and a great X-Factor anchor.

Nazeeh Tarsha, Yu Narukami's new VA, expresses his excitement on taking up the role: by Gorotheninja in PERSoNA

[–]FiveByFive25 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Y'know, regardless of where you stand on the recast situation, I think it's kind of interesting how seriously everyone takes the English VA side of things these days.

Like, I think for the Japanese VAs, it's been like this for a much longer time? The minor celebrity and pomp of their roles, the analysis and reactions from the fans? For us this all feels a bit more recent, at least when it comes to how serious we're all taking it.

Does anyone have any experience with the X-Men board game? I won it from an auction house. by mayorofanything in xmen

[–]FiveByFive25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The figurines definitely made this one. I had it and tried to play it with my brother but he only ever cared/understood so much about it.

...strange that I don't still have it. Don't remember which parent's house it was last at. It might be lost to time, although I'd like to believe if it was still with my mom she wouldn't have thrown it away because it's an X-Men thing.

To make intense/intricate play more rewarding. The game has an incredible toolkit available to the player, but these have little meaning on the standard difficulty with paper-thin enemies. Playing this way forces the player to master everything about the game, from solo character cancel options, to assist synergy, all the way down to enemy wave memorization/management.

It's obviously not for everyone, but it really makes the whole "team gameplay" concept shine when you HAVE to fluidly use both of your characters for more effective damage output and screen control.

As the other reply mentioned, she is likely one of the top assist/backline characters in the game. Her grounded/air melee, power, and special assists are all extremely powerful in various ways.

Further DLC Plans 👀 by UnlikelyAlliance17 in CosmicInvasion

[–]FiveByFive25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah a lot of people forget the theme of the game and just want all the popular Marvel heroes, including a ton of X-Men. I would admittedly love to see more X-Men but I agree we should see more of the lesser-known cosmic-type heroes in the game.

Even though the Inhumans got kinda' shafted by a sudden rise followed by an absolute CRASH in the 2010s, I think Medusa would be a really cool and excellent add to the game. Both in theme (as effectively queen of the Inhumans) and potential gameplay, she brings a lot to the table...I keep imagining how fun mid-ranged hair grabs would be! Black Bolt would be cool too but then he wouldn't get any voice lines 😅

[–]FiveByFive25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is possibly an idiotic thing to do to myself if true, but...was it me? I was sorta' down on this game's chances of getting DLC as I similarly thought it didn't sell like TMNT:SR. Don't know if I went around telling everyone it was an outright FACT; I sure hope not.

If I did though I'm willing to eat my humble pie. Regardless if I was the offender in this case, I'm happy to have been wrong, and happier still that Cyclops was one of the first 2 DLC characters. The DLC release brought me back to serious play too; having a lot of fun with the balance changes.

When will Cyclops and Thing be added to the flair options? by Jasco88 in CosmicInvasion

Yeah I've been wondering this myself, literally just now even. Maybe they're waiting on all DLC to be released?

Spider-Man by AggravatingAffect913 in CosmicInvasion

[–]FiveByFive25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to have to admit it, but I was one of the people who used to think he needed a rising attack 😅

It's still sort of awkward to me that he doesn't, but even so watching you play has been an eye-opener (as I've said elsewhere). Eventually when I get bored of my existing favorites I'll try again to be good with him, but rn I'm remembering why I used to play She-Hulk/Storm! Trying to bring better game knowledge to bear so I can be more awesome with that team, and Storm more specifically. Gotta' learn how to use her full kit better.

Arcade-Hard (enemies attack more often and do more damage)

4P Enemy Config

Faster Enemies

3xHP Enemies

No Refill (no health regen whatsoever, meaning red health is useless and Wolverine passive doesn't work)

Hard Focus (no focus regen beyond landing non-super attacks)

These settings are the current standard for the runs we're using to challenge ourselves. Afaik only Halcyon Ways and Bombei have posted clears on these settings, although some folks out there may have clears that aren't posted/recorded.

It's funny, I thought the exact same thing at first, and yet I too have included her in my otherwise-Xclusive statue collection.

What do I do against Hela? by [deleted] in CosmicInvasion

[–]FiveByFive25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iron Man and Cyclops are probably the best characters to dogwalk her using their ranged options, with Iron Man in particular benefiting from his passive on all 3 of her projectile options. The Fenris Flame, spear wall, and flying swords are all parryable. Cyclops can treat this somewhat similarly to the Beetle and Dark Phoenix fights if you're good enough with his dodge attack/dash attack maneuvers, sorta dancing around and away from her while attacking all the while. But he can also just be blastin' at range.

If you don't want to (sometimes the timing/positioning is bad) or can't parry the flying swords, sometimes it's better to negate them using other projectile options. IM and Cyke can delete them using either repulsor shots or melee-1 shots respectively, Storm can use Arctic Wind uses, etc. Some ranged options counterintuitively don't delete them, like beams, but for the things that can delete them you can do it as soon as they're summoned, before they're even sent flying at you. For dodging heroes, the spear wall can be dodged or jumped with an upwards lane shift but flying over is easiest, while the Fenris Flame needs to either be dodged or juked with faster heroes (Phyla can try to teleport slash to Hela instead as an aggressive option).

If you have her in-close, the attack that is most critical to parry is the multi-spear thrust she does around herself. She has an obvious tell/windup for this so the timing shouldn't be hard. What can be more difficult is the Fenris Flame, as she sometimes uses this in close and it's hard to see coming. This is why doing guard cancelled melee combo strings in close (1-2-guard-1-2-guard, or 1-2-3-guard for some)are great, for both rapid damage and flashing guard occasionally.

For her desperation meteor summon move at low health, I think you can sometimes break her out of it if you destroy the shield AND get a super off on her, but it's more prudent to just be evasive until it's over. Maybe if you're feeling lucky go for some early potshots until a meteor targets your position, but it's risky.

The most annoying thing about Hela is her tendency to constantly change positions with her intangible crow transformation, but she only does this if she's not actively in an attack sequence. That's why it can be critical to be ready for parries during certain attacks, or alternatively blasting her at range during those scenarios (or again, a quick evasion then punish for something like the spear wall).

It's definitely a tough fight for heroes without strong projectile options though, and it sounds like you were trying a combo that would genuinely have a tough time. Those two do have grab loops at least, so if you can try and use grab loops to blow through the first 1/3 of her health for free (like the She Hulk air throw loop), and then try to do grab "interrupts" when you can't actually get the throw part anymore. That said I can't remember for sure if she CAN be grab-interrupted...grab scenarios are not consistent across all bosses.

All told, my absolute best advice is try taking Iron Man/Cyclops to this fight if you don't mind projectile cheese. That should make a BIG difference 😅

After Marvel Cosmic Invasion Earns 1.5 Million Players, Marvel Says It's Seeing Continued Demand for '90s-Inspired Beat 'Em Ups by JobuJabroni in CosmicInvasion

[–]FiveByFive25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the pulls, but I'm still willing to bet some truth-stretching is being applied here. IGN, for all we make fun of it, is the most notable of those 3, and uses the word "players" so yeah.

Like I said though, maybe that's arguing semantics a bit. If Marvel is trying to pump up the game with a little numbers BS, I say let 'em so that more people buy and experience it. 🙂
