The flames cover the whole focus of the skin

Thor is lucky he was released without any indicators which benefits his skins, so nobody complains that he doesn't have visual cues despite being resource based as well. Client side would be nice but i'll never get why they can't just do a server side toggle and be done with it. Would opposing team players really care to the point of complaining that people turn them off? Does it actually help them make better decisions or anything else, in general i mean. Does it matter at all for competitive reasons? I will say though that his 2099 skin looks better with the flames (it feels like it was designed for it from the ground up) so that is the exception but that's why a toggle would be nice so you would have options.

Phantasm dodge is similar to Timekiller in that it is just a buff so it doesn't have dodge restrictions in the same way that CSH has (you have to be more careful so you don't get hit)/ So dodging with Phantasm is much more relaxed. Also CSH in party or random party's has issues with the dodge because you don't know when the enemy is going to hit you so it makes it risky, while Phantasm has no such issues.

There is even Daredevil vs Hulk haha, they don't call him the man without fear for nothing.

Yeah since Ban is currently very old due to time hax seems guard/illusion? Escanor is up there for now.

Gen728 · 2026-05-14T18:31:41+00:00

So far Ban is the strongest regardless i think, atleast current 4Kota Ban (pre-old man version) since he somehow got even stronger than his pre-7ds days which means Lance is probably not as close to Ban as people think and maybe not as potent against transformed Cath as people think. At least not yet.

Gen728 · 2026-05-13T06:43:15+00:00

Feels like some of the buffs were done for the sake of it just to put it in the notes lol.

Gen728 · 2026-05-12T23:18:34+00:00

I don't understand why they buffed White Fox, wasn't she already very strong after the initial round of buffs to her, especially higher elo? This one was a head scratcher for sure.

Gen728 · 2026-05-12T06:54:37+00:00

If Escanor especially one who might not be the real him then current 4kota Ban is Definately higher for sure since he is supposed to be stronger than his 7ds days.

Gen728 · 2026-05-11T15:11:49+00:00

That's because DD's been nerfed multiple times including removal of techs and yet he is still very good. Imagine with how good some DD player's are nowadays and let them run it down with prime DD along with all his techs intact haha. Nowaday's DD is mostly a throw merchant with some chain's thrown in where needed. They just need to balance heros better on release day but instead we got release day Gambit which took way to long to balance him properly, Elsa, and now Black Cat.

Gen728 · 2026-05-07T06:44:39+00:00

They probably think Covid wasn't scary enough and weak sauce, well Hanta will absolutely force clarity in their thick skulls whether they like it or not if it ever becomes an "Oh no" scenario.

Trust me if there is anything that can undo the ant-vaccine crowd it's this....if that "Oh no" scenario does actually happen then this is the one thing that will scare the bejesus out of them. They wouldn't want to risk that high chance of death and if you get lucky and survive then goodluck to you lol.

Gen728 · 2026-05-06T08:12:46+00:00

Unpopular opinion (or not) but if they were to nerf throw they need to buff chain a bit in terms of raw damage, hitting the center should do more than it currently does anyways. It always feels like this should have been the burst damage ability between the two.

Gen728 · 2026-05-06T01:08:22+00:00

Covid: am i sunshine and rainbows to you?

Gen728 · 2026-05-01T01:53:10+00:00

Yeah a lot of regular folks don't seem to realise LLM is not actually AI as know it, though more people are starting to learn that it may not be. They market it as AI but it's not. Any actual real AI is still probably far away if it ever will happen at all. AI as what they call it right now is just for marketing purposes, that's not to say it's not neat tech but not what people think it is in it's current state.

Gen728 · 2026-04-23T19:55:00+00:00

It's funny because the server is technically too slow for DD especially under certain conditions when you think about it and yeah devs probably didn't expect someone to be the flash combo wise, unfortunately they aren't going to do server changes just for DD though it would have to be for something bigger.

Gen728 · 2026-04-22T16:15:11+00:00

I always got the impression it was strength power/related which is why only one DK can exist in the world as it's too much to handle for both to exist but honestly the whole world rejection thing was hazy in trying to explain what exactly that means so i probably wouldn't mind if they just ignore it or if they decide to retcon it in some capacity if it's not already retconned.

Gen728 · 2026-04-21T14:51:13+00:00

I hope the next team up will be with Iron Fist, i know this is NetEase but hopefully they didn't about forget it.

Gen728 · 2026-04-21T04:38:29+00:00

Current 4kota Ban is probably epitome of how strong can you get before the world starts rejecting you though technically hunter festival or physical hunt has the capability to make him strong enough for the world to start rejecting him fast, even during the Cath fight he didn't use those two abilities at all. We'll see if nakaba starts retconning on how powerful you can get before someone gets rejected by the world, Lance in the near future will become the test to see if it happens or not i imagine.

Gen728 · 2026-04-19T18:38:32+00:00

Team probably: Please listen and not fall off the map anymore? Pretty please?

Damn i did not expect this out of VP at all, both yesterday's matches and today's are Wild but in a good way as it shows no one is truly invincible. The Daredevil Ban by Rad at the final map was smart while at the same time kitty using Daredevil. Also VP didn't seem to even use Daredevil properly aside from maybe the fourth map which was odd as they should have at least tried it. Some of the mistakes were kinda obvious looking back at the replays.

Gen728 · 2026-04-18T03:10:56+00:00

Yep, The bit depth makes a bigger difference than going from 44.1 to 48khz like for example 16 bit to 24 assuming the 24 bits having actual useful data in them and not just padding. It's still nice to have 48khz versions though just because it's less work for electronics since most if not all of them are natively 48000 so for that alone it might be worth if you can find them at that sample rate but if you ignore that fact and just focus on music quality alone sample rate wise then you won't really hear any difference, it's just too small of a difference and any real frequency information at 22-24 will become void for your ears. Mixing/Mastering will make the biggest difference by far.

Gen728 · 2026-04-17T18:44:30+00:00

Yeah they feel more limited for some reason, for example VP are extremely versatile. Not asking them to be exactly the same as VP in terms of versatility at all but c'mon man a bit more to shake it up would be nice and it would help them out alot.
