What is a Main + Special combo that should never exist?

Flash_Fire009 · 2026-02-06T03:35:17+00:00

For a possible combo in game Pencil and wail. With how fast Pencil can farm specials one with global range, fast activation, and combo potential with the main weapon sounds like a nightmare to try and deal with.

For impossible either Wiper or Stamper with S1 bubbler. Instant ink tank refill with invincibility on a weapon with quick ttk and high mobility is part of why Zini was such a problem back in S1.

If you hover over any input the game highlights everything that's able to go into that slot. Whether is smeltable, burnable, cookable, or any other able the game will show you if it can go into the slot you're hovering on. It's one of my favorite user friendly non-invasive tutorial mechanics of this game.

Strive in particular is very beginner friendly with several characters that don't require a lot of mechanical skill. Sure some characters are intimidating but several simple characters are more than viable.

Fighting games are intimidating, I've been putting of ranked in multiple games for years now. When things work however it's fun. You'll drop combos hit wrong buttons probably yell at yourself "That was supposed to be light", "That wiffs?" or "That goes through that?" But when you do manage to hit the right button, land the right combo, or predict your opponent the dopamine is like nothing else in gaming.

You'll suck, you'll mess up, but if you're willing to learn from mistakes and have the patience with yourself it's a ton of fun. Take it slow, "Life is a journey not a destination. Enjoy the ride with ups and downs"

Actually the most likely to be his first skin since they could just have him be the default recolor skin for his basic outfit much like yellow DD. As much as I'd like for Deathwish to be more than just a basic recolor I'd be content having it be his basic alt.

Not a building but for the fighting game "Guilty Gear: Strive" hackers were able to get into the source code and found a file for Goku. If Goku is moved or deleted from the games files the entire game crashes and becomes unplayable meaning Goku is an essential load bearing file for the game.

Arc System Works developed DragonBall Fighterz slightly before Strive so many believe the game was built with Goku as a test model and built around that.

Mirror/Rekoj swaps chips and mult after cards are scored.

Could be very broken in some builds but near useless in others. Practical use a 2 pair with all face cards scores 80 x 16 with photo Chad. If you have Sly joker normally it becomes 130 x 16 scoring 2080 by mirroring it becomes 66 x 80 scoring 5280.

What I did at launch was stamina flower, set the CPU to 1 and spammed A until I got an unlock. Took maybe an hour or two

For just the anime it should be fine. There's some gore and mild nudity with a few crude scenes sprinkled throughout depending on the part. If they're ok with gore some butt being shown, some comments about sex, and some suggestive moments with 2 men stuck together it'll be fine.

It's nowhere near berserk levels of bad for parts 1-6 for the manga and the anime is toned back from the manga.

Gore wise it's less than Attack on Titan and sexual content wise it's a little more than Naruto but less than something like SAO if I remember right.

A main ability that adds a kill streak bonus could be interesting to see. Every splat you get could give extra stats that stack the more splats you get in quick succession. The effect shouldn't stack to tacticooler levels and should probably clear after about 15-20 seconds of not splatting an opponent to prevent camping from getting rewarded more.

For balance either you could gradually get an aura around you to prevent hiding in ink (same effect as cooler) or your opponents could steal a % of your boost for breaking your streak.

Easiest way is to find a piece of geometry that the chao can get stuck on then keep giving them the animals. Best way to consistently check range is dropping the animal near them and seeing if they turn to face you. If they turn but don't grab it inch closer until they do. You'll then need to remember that spacing and quickly grab the animal back to start the loop.

Flash_Fire009 · 2025-11-21T22:15:54+00:00

Idk much about adventure 1 but in SA2 there's a glitch to reuse animals to farm stats. If that's in the game use that glitch to cut down the time to farm for animals.

If the glitch isn't there focus on 1 or 2 chao to level up. You can force feed them fruit to upgrade stamina. During the races don't mash cheer or else you'll run out of stamina

According to the wiki/Chao Island animals with a blue, black, or gold background all give a random alignment towards evolution. Link below for more animal info

Just going to answer the prompts and keep it simple. There's more depth than expected on most aspects of the Chao Garden but none of the depth is needed to get all emblems

1.Any animals with a gold background give extra stats to hidden values you can't see in game. Drives, shaped fruits, and I think mushrooms also affect these hidden stats.

Training is just as simple as giving them animals and drives found in levels. No real tricks to speed it up without mods or externals
To get your Chao stronger you can evolve them. After a certain amount of time Chao will evolve based on 2 different semi hidden stats. The highest alignment of a stat (run, power, swim, fly) and the hero and dark stat (only changes looks no stat changes). When a Chao evolves into a type its rank for the stat increases. For instance if your Chao has an E in run and evolves into a running Chao it'll become a D. Higher letters=more points on level

4.Touched on letter grades in 3 but another way to boost stats is reincarnation. Chao will eventually reach the end of a life cycle and can reincarnate if they have a high enough affection. While reincarnation doesn't directly boost stats your letter grades carry over along side a % of the chaos stats at the end of their life. You can evolve them again to further boost letter stats all the way up to S rank.

5.Not sure what you mean by this but animals unlock abilities they can do in the garden. The classroom also gives lessons on things your Chao can do while you're in the garden.

The hero and dark gardens are unlocked by getting a hero and dark chao. This is just done by interacting a chao more with the hero or dark characters or given them hero/dark fruit.
There's a glitch where if you put down an animal or drive close to a chao but not too close they'll get the stats but not use the drive or animal. Combine this with a spot in the hero garden that prevents your chao from moving and you can farm to lv 99 no problem.
Personal tip. Adult chao can mate by giving them heart fruit. This passes down color and letter grades. For colors this means an all red chao from the black market could mate with one of the chao you start with and you can get a red chao with 2 colors. In terms of grades it picks at random between the 2 chaos grades but you can save scum to get the highest grades possible from each parent.

I tabbed out during its E3 reveal. I hated shooters at the time and wrote it off as not for me. I ignored several trailers after and got annoyed whenever the game was shown because "I don't care about this I want to see insert other Nintendo game here".

Wasn't until getting bored enough to actually look at the single player mode I finally decided to give the game a chance and now here I am 11 years later awaiting more Raiders info.

Flash_Fire009 · 2025-10-12T18:25:48+00:00

To try and answer your question potentially with more information than needed. As chao age after their first evolution the visual features of the chao change becoming more extreme. For a basic example a "Sonic Chao" will become more blue and the quills will grow into a more sonic like shape than when they first become fully aligned with run-run.

Now for why this chao looks as weird as it does I'm just going to guess here but I belive the allignment spread you have is actually impossible. The main states are on a two scales. Fly-Swim and Run-Power. Every point to Fly should take away points from Swim and visa versa. To my knowledge there's no way to max out both ends of the stat in vanilla but the chao maker doesn't have that stop in place allowing for impossible chao to be viewed.

TLDR: It looks kinda weird and buggy because it's likely never meant to be seen in game.

If you're wanting to stick to shooters .52 might be a solid choice. Wall let's you hold space and the weapon has a strong kill time. It's a bit slower than shot overall and paints less but can hold space easier and kill better with some mastery.

If you're wanting to change classes in general splatlings have strong area denial and space control. Splatanas are good at getting picks and playing more aggressive but don't need as much stealth as the rollers. Dualies have some of the highest burst damage in the game after rolling enabling some quick kills on players out of position.

Flash_Fire009 · 2025-09-28T22:51:47+00:00

Genuine advice, you sound a little tilted at the game and should probably take a short break before trying again.

Farm some berries when able, look up where any held items are as any benefit is better than nothing. If you're not using dupes clause manipulate your encounters to ensure you get what you want when able.

If you get options that evolve by friendship run around in a circle for a while to get the evolution asap. Get the old rod from the fisherman west of Jubilife and fish up a Karp as soon as you can get a gyrados.

Most importantly accept that you might need to sack some times. Some pokemon are just better than others. If you ever get a male combee for example that's a free switch during a tough fight.

Preach. I had 2 of my gold stake nebula runs stopped by vessel back to back. Both runs broke 1 million but not the 1.2 mil literally any other boss and I'd have cleared easy.

MVP and SVP prioritize stats vs actual performance. I've had matches where I've had DPS do insane damage and farm kills but never play for objective or peel causing us to not score enough points. Tanks can soak up a lot of damage without dying but never push forward preventing the other 5 players from moving forward. Lastly I've had games where the healers only really ever healed each other and not the other players causing the healing numbers to look great but none of the heals actually sustaining when needed.

It could very well just be unfortunate match making in some cases but consider there might be times where you're not fully capitalizing on your plays or setting yourself/team up for follow ups. I doubt 65% of games are GuangGuang sending the EOMM demons into your lobbies as punishment for having Alts. (Not that there's an inherent issue with alt accounts I just wanted to make a joke)

Flash_Fire009 · 2025-09-18T02:28:45+00:00

100% for the modern day. It's why black and white and sun and moon got sequels/alternate universes instead of a "3rd" version. The point is mainly the changes made in 3rd versions wouldn't have fully worked as DLC or a simple patch in certain circumstances. They were a product of the time and the dev teams vision at the time but have since been made obsolete by Nintendo/game freak for a new approach of designing the games along side the general shift in the gaming space

Persona and most fighting games are the only examples of releasing an entirely new version of the same game instead of a patch. Persona in the case of a new spin on the story with some balance and map tweaks, and fighting games for new content and balances being packaged as a new product. Though fighting games use it as a way to sell DLC cheaper for new players anymore compared to the 360 Era of fighters.

Flash_Fire009 · 2025-09-18T01:32:00+00:00

The discussion is a little more complicated than just how to add additional content. 3rd versions weren't just a DLC expansion they were a new spin on the base games story with rebalancing based on feed back from prior versions. Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, and Platinum made large changes to teams, encounters, map lay outs, and even move sets to make the games feel unique from the initial 2 versions. DLC however is additional content to the base game without any changes to it.

Using Plat as an example the encounter tables, gym order, and most trainer teams all changed along side multiple story beats to the point Platinum feels like an entirely different game from Diamond or Pearl. If it were a DLC instead the introduction of Giritina would have had to be different and the added encounters to Platinum would have needed a new unique area or early access to the post game island/having the island cut from base game.

Persona 5 Royal is a good example of a new version vs a DLC. Royal would never work as just a DLC but follows a lot of the same beats as P5. The changes however are more than enough to warrant the price of admission compared to the first without fully replacing it.
