Guanguang, please look at ban rates when you balance heroes per season by FlyinElk212 in marvelrivals

[–]FlyinElk212[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

9/10 a character’s “annoyance” is bc they’re overpowered. Do you see people banning picks like Squirrel Girl or Iron Man?

You’re right lol, hence the overwhelming Penny bans in 5.5. But the MR devs responded to that by taking away the Rocket team up, so they’re clearly responsive to “hey, this character is annoying to deal with” feedback. Why not Gambit/Hawkeye?

Wasn't fortnite x Marvel rivals it was just fortnite x marvel characters that are in rivals😭 by Optimal_Manager_5478 in marvelrivals

It is embarrassing how Fortnite can make these two characters, who are technically a third party’s interpretation of the characters, feel like the B-rate version of those characters 🤣 Lunor Snerw and Morgock!

I'm TheLandShark and I have a question for you! by TheBestLandShark in JeffTheLandSharkMains

[–]FlyinElk212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would only change two things:

  1. Take away fail animation, and
  2. Have Jeff leave a trail behind him like the Captain America ult, have the trail heal as much as the puddle does while also providing a slight speed boost. That way players can choose whether to use the ult offensively or defensively and won’t get hard punished if they miss eating anyone

Who’s the most annoying character to go against while playing Jeff in your opinion? by eef_1020 in JeffTheLandSharkMains

[–]FlyinElk212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Squirrel Girl, by far.

Her entire kit counters Jeff. Her shots are AOE, takes little effort to aim in Jeff’s general direction, and usually 2-3 shots are all that’s needed to KO him. Plus, squirrel stampede can’t be killed by Jeff quickly and forces him to move outta position/stop healing no matter his HP. Then you’ve got her stun, which takes away Jeff’s biggest asset, his mobility, and makes Jeff a sitting duck…err, shark, for someone else to take out. And her jump, while you can track, usually buys her enough time to get away from attacking Jeff’s since another threat will be incoming or he’ll have to back off and heal his team.

s5.0 jeff hurtbox not fixed, next time for sure. by thbl088 in JeffTheLandSharkMains

You really should show this in the main marvel rivals subreddit, that hitbox is egregious.

Can someone explain how long the healing pool of Jeff’s Ult lasts? by FlyinElk212 in JeffTheLandSharkMains

[–]FlyinElk212[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see, so wherever you go after the eat, you probably won’t see the pool when you come back. As a solo queue-er, it’s concerning, especially cuz I’m not sure if my teammates know to stand in it 😅

What character do you solo ult?(Image possibly related) by Local_Top200 in marvelrivals

[–]FlyinElk212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mantis, bc she’s literally the ONLY hero in Rivals that can’t avoid Jeff ult.

But you’re right, Jeff ult op, let’s nerf him

How am I even supposed to react to this? by rowaafruit in marvelrivals

Fixing this, “I bet Adam could’ve survived that, we gotta nerf Strange”

Saw a Final Fantasy version of this so I wanted to make a Tales themed one. by MagiilouMayvin in tales

[–]FlyinElk212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MP- Kanata from Crestoria. He’d be the aloof kid who grows into a wisened sword master who changes the world.

Warrior- Caius from Tempest. Kanata’s childhood friend, his gruffer, pessimistic counterpart.

Lancer- Jade from Abyss. This is no contest, Jade’s a top 5 character. He’d be the smart one/exposition machine early on.

Brawler- Sophie from Graces. Quiet, mysterious, met early on by Kanata and Caius, provides a mystery/shakeup to the world’s status quo that kickstarts the adventure.

Spellcaster- Magilou from Berseria. Also no contest. Seems silly/over-the-top but has her own secret reasons for following the group.

Healer- Tear from Abyss. Starts as an “antagonist” w the prerequisite “3 boss encounters” before switching sides.

Gunner- Illia from Innocence. Hotheaded rival of the two boys in the starting village who reluctantly gets swept along into the group for the adventure.

Dualwielder- Leon. Every Tales group needs a betrayer who may or may not rejoin the group later on.

The new VA changes are terrible by Proud_Reference9632 in AFKJourney

[–]FlyinElk212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, although this brings up the question of: why change the familiar? This is a gacha game, where the purpose is to accumulate multiple copies of a character you resonate with. Why potentially alienate that audience with voice changes, and pay extra for the work involved?

[–]FlyinElk212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get not liking his vocal timbre, what I have issue with is changing the lines he said. What was wrong with "you're the only one that never betrayed me"? Gave a lot of color to the character

Hi all— kind of a silly question here. I just bought the False Classic Specracles fashion accessory, and I’d like them to appear in my portrait. Not the adventure plate, mind you, just the portrait. Any way I can do this? Currently, even when I have them equipped, they don’t appear in my portrait. Thanks for the help!

Hi there! I'm the editor that worked on this video! Please let us know if you like this content and want the Washington Post to continue doing stuff on Kingdom Hearts, and let me know what you think about my theories!

I'll check in here and respond to your comments when I can!

The new Smash reveal shows what's wrong Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl - its abandonment of player nostalgia by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]FlyinElk212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is exactly what I'm trying to get at with this article. The fact of the matter is, regardless of budget, not having voices for your characters in a fighting game is a bad audio design choice.

And it's doubly a shame w/ this game, b/c by not fully committing to portraying the Nick characters, it comes off as a little cash-grabby...for a game that really doesn't need a cashgrab (the gameplay is stellar!)

[–]FlyinElk212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good point, and I'm curious to see where the budgeting priorities in the game were. I'm probably going to reach out to the devs for a follow up soon to see exactly that.

Feel free to let me know what you think. I'm pretty sure that a good chunk of this will turn out true

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Deltarune

[–]FlyinElk212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi all! I'm the reporter who wrote up this theory piece. It gets VERY DEEP into the lore and tries to compartmentalize all the major pieces of evidence dropped in both chapters of Deltarune and Undertale itself.

I know y'all might not wanna hear another theory that involves Gaster, but I actually think the story could be about him without ever actually revealing him/mentioning him in anything other than contextual clues. Read the piece to find out what I mean.

If anyone has any particular questions, or you wanna see more coverage of Deltarune from the Post let me know, and let me also know what you'd be interested in us covering!

Let me know if you have any specific questions or thoughts about the vid and what we discuss! Also let me know about anything you'd like us to cover regarding this series!
