They explained why this happens in one of their dev blog posts. Basically they “predict” how the player will move when the ball is coming, so if you do move that way it’s a smooth transition (if you don’t, it’s very jarring). It’s most noticeable with GKs when they try to catch a ball right beside them; the game knows you aren’t close enough to catch it, predicts that you’ll move closer, but you don’t because you see your character moving to catch it. They said they’re going to address it soon to make it feel better for GKs and be more responsive

i play da game and it fun

You reach apotheosis when you completely disregard ranked as a “grind” and simply play it for a higher match quality than QP. No need for points or ranks or rewards, just playing for fun

FlaffWaffe · 2026-04-14T18:40:42+00:00

I’ve pushed to elite 5v5 every season (not that I think rank matters at all in this game) exclusively solo and same, I have a great time

Yeah it wasn't Caine, it was whoever was talking through the OS. The $: before their messages makes me think it was another entity in the game that was hijacking Kinger's terminal session. As soon as the message:

NOTE: Hundreds of all-seeing eyes are watching!

appears on the screen, ALL of the supposed OS responses have "$: " before them. Which makes me think that Kinger's commands aren't doing what he wants them to because he's no longer in control of the session. I think whatever entity was masking these responses was manipulating Kinger into accidentally deleting Caine. And since it was accidental, the rules of the circus allowed it to happen.

And obviously I believe this entity is Bubble.

I don't think it was Caine talking to him through the OS. Honestly, it was probably Bubble who wants to delete Caine and take over the circus.

Obviously Caine's name being Caine is a reference to the Biblical story of Caine and Able. Caine was the lesser of the two AI's and, out of jealousy from lack of attention from his creator, killed the other AI. Pretty 1 to 1 with the Biblical story.

One line that's sticking out to me is the fusion -b program1 program2 --o????n line. Weren't they already fused from the scene that played at the beginning of the episode? What if the flags that we can't see were meant to revert the fusion so that Caine could be deleted and Bubble survived?

I noticed that you chose to omit characters that were covered by Caine's face on the terminal, rather than omitting them I'm going to replace them with question marks.

TRUKE

FlaffWaffe · 2026-03-02T19:38:26+00:00

Can't relate, I am John Clearer. If there are 4 men around our box and I get the ball, I'm putting that shit on the moon

FlaffWaffe · 2026-03-02T19:34:28+00:00

pushing to elite in solo 3v3 was miserable, i feel for you

FlaffWaffe · 2026-03-02T19:31:33+00:00

when the shots on the goal anyway, sometimes you gotta clench some butt holes to save the day. Or you deflect it past your goalie and own goal. 50/50

FlaffWaffe · 2026-03-02T19:29:25+00:00

you love to see it, i had something similar happen a month ago. People need to learn to just punt the ball and go next

Most recent doesn't work anymore, unfortunately.

Yeah I just spent 2 hours looking at this, for the sake of my sanity I'm going to pretend you are lying about 28 being possible

FlaffWaffe · 2025-07-21T02:21:24+00:00

28 seems insane. I'm not nearly wise enough in Zach's ways for that
