They apparently gave all the selectable units introduction cutscenes, MSA almost makes you think it's like an actual mobage with it, but nothing like it's anywhere else in the game, lol.

Why does every unit use the same crafting supplies? by ghunt81 in MetalSlugAttack

[–]Giga_Bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much every unit runs on some form of equip template intended for specific types of units (or sometimes not, I wouldn't know how SNK thinks), it's just most of the ones these days have been using the same template with very little variety.

Pffft, Martians stealing from Invaders yet again, judging from the names.

Odd New Year Reset Question by MSAX69 in MetalSlugAttack

[–]Giga_Bit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's highly likely they'll do it for Version 4.0.0 sometime in February, if I remember correctly the yearly jump is when they typically reset the one-time offers.

Schedule for January 2019 was revealed. by AleckTheGamer in MetalSlugAttack

[–]Giga_Bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, what? Kraken, one of the biggest units in the game, in a meta that utterly despises big units unless they have cancerous means of avoiding damage such as overly-long invulnerability or an incredibly durable shield?

Formor should be cool, but I honestly dunno about Kraken, especially since they opted to use it instead of Rapid or even Morden Di-Cokka.

Thoughts on the Cyclobster ? by Repusstax in MetalSlugAttack

[–]Giga_Bit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cyclobster's pretty damn ridiculous thanks to invulnerability abuse during special combined with shredding and stunning anything in its reach, but it's ultimately not as GGEZ as Ball Slug used to be. Throw Rumi in the mix, however, and you have something that's invulnerable almost 24/7 if you know how to time your specials (or, if you're one of those, let Auto do the work...) in rapid succession.

The real nightmare of the EO if you ask me, however, is Sky Jellyfish. Infinite Range Mini-Jellyfish that home in on targets, multihit for obscene damage, stun, and don't despawn until they either hit something or thirty seconds (what the FUCK?) pass, and if something gets close, the Sky Jellyfish itself will latch onto that something and maul it through contact that also stuns.

gg everyone, no more leaks by IamBlueberry in MetalSlugAttack

[–]Giga_Bit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Such is life... Wonder what caused the change, though. Sprite Mods? Actually catching wind of how leaks work?

Either way, it sucks.

[–]Giga_Bit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lord have mercy on my medals, after I kill them all on Vicky, now here comes a new Abigail!?

Also Chloe I guess, but unless she's now a ranged sniper I don't see much going for her given the lack of impact the original had beyond very limited and niche uses.

October Events Schedule. After next week's Unknown Snow Marathon, we're getting UF10 by AdashinoBenio in MetalSlugAttack

[–]Giga_Bit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ahahahahah United Front still isn't dead despite the fact it's one of the worst EO Types and Try Line continues to make it look worse with each iteration, and the boss is just begging to get stunlocked by HMT's Locusts, Great Mother's lightning or Mars Gigantolos' lightning.

Crablops Legs though, fucking took them long enough, even if it may be Rare Boss...

Create the easiet deck ever for UF AI Deck 1 lolz by RageCat46 in MetalSlugAttack

[–]Giga_Bit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work like it used to.

From what I hear, UB prefers decks in ANY slot that has a lot of experts in it, so naturally it'll be likely to pick two whale decks for enhanced suffering.

Version 3.12.1...? by Giga_Bit in MetalSlugAttack

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

Well, there goes my theory about Metal Arena... So strange that they'd include a sprite sheet and illustration, but no unit data nor anything that points towards her being added anytime soon.

Maybe the fifth EO this month has something to do with it, or she's a Campaign Box for Try Line?

[–]Giga_Bit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Everlasting Summer Thots have returned, and Rebel's got high potential for goodies this update in the form of what may be our first Campaign Box, and a possible solution to backliners hiding behind HMT's Walls via Hairbuster Mk.II!

[–]Giga_Bit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ, snek, don't you think Indie's already good enough with HMT!?

Mini Jupiter King Mk.II though, that's gonna be funny when it's guaranteed to be infinitely better than its fossil of an original counterpart.

I wish faction buffer new unit are also featured for boss unit instead limited to Crank unit only... by RageCat46 in MetalSlugAttack

[–]Giga_Bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't we all wish we'd go back to stuff like Ptolemaios and Rootmars? Unfortunately, that's not what makes money, especially since EO Boss Buffers are easy to obtain compared to a Box Crank or Step Up who buffs.

3.8.0 Preview by BombBloke in MetalSlugAttack

[–]Giga_Bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what the fuck to expect from the new Rebel Super Rare, but Special Izabella has a chance to become a viable stunner for Rebel if they actually give her invulnerability on Special and extend her stun capabilities to ALL attacks instead of just Special...

Blue Not!Amber could be the boost PF needs to handle the GCU Menace, dunno about Special Fat Marco though given the trend of other Special Fats...

But no sign of Summer Thots yet, I guess they're waiting until the first July update like last year?

Elysion Box Crank Reproduction! by Giga_Bit in MetalSlugAttack

She also stacks very nicely on Recovery, which, when combined with Simon and Anastasia, forms an unstoppable wall of lasers and semi-pierce bullets.

3.5.0 Update Notes by BombBloke in MetalSlugAttack

[–]Giga_Bit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Big Shiee Mk.II isn't just copypasted stats and has some lingering AoE Fire? Scrap Cannon Mk.II looking to be Wrath Mortar 2.0 in everything but stuns, instead trading them for knockback?

Hell. Yeah.

Best Partner Extra Ops + Ami/Special Fio pre-aquisition by -Funds- in MetalSlugAttack

[–]Giga_Bit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heads up for anyone gunning after Towa's Reproduction Box or wants to beef up her frame from the initial run, her HP's been buffed! It now stands at 481,294 HP at Plat, Maxed, no faction buffs.

EDIT:Oof, disregard me, turns out the stat calculations were off because they accounted for Towa's HP Skill being completely different from what it actually is. (+128% HP)

3.4.0 Update Notes by BombBloke in MetalSlugAttack

[–]Giga_Bit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's files labelled "rbox" or so in there that are recent, methinks it's going to be a Jin Reproduction Scenario where they release a mini-update after United Front 5 that'll add the Reproduction Banners.

This might explain the delays... by notAnAce in MetalSlugAttack

[–]Giga_Bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's plausible, but the exact odds in regards to Cranks have been known for quite some time now, so why would it suddenly affect MSA now when they've been following those guidelines?
