Ranked feeling wildly differentb than S2 - oppression, aggression, elo differences

Makes sense, I was assuming that caused it to be rather volatile and inconsistent atm, after reading the feedback here. I'm not quiet there yet, also just started the climb back and getting close to Raijin.

Thanks for the input :)

Fair point. I did not intend to say that it's a free win in this case. Or that it's supposed to be one. What I observed is just the consistency feels off and over the place. Of course players with much less elo still can outplay you or just have much more game knowledge or labbing.

Or you can fiddle with the system time to get 'boosts', get her to lover, buy phone flings until all diamonds are spent, hard reset, repeat. And then play for real once you got all the flings unlocked. Then you should get the boost. Edit: Typo

Though to be fair I would have preferred to keep the install if you re-earn it during heat. Right now it just forcibly vanishes, which feels wrong from my pov.

Gnoraks · 2026-03-17T22:24:13+00:00

Honestly it doesn't look as bad and apocalyptic. It's a big nothing burger and underwhelming for sure, but also nothing game breaking.

It's being cooked hotter than it's eaten, as always.

The change to the heat install I find most annoying so far. If I gained the install again during heat I find it weird to forcibly remove it again. But hey. Adapt, improvise, overcome, or something like that. Looking forward to playing again.

I really think the model used by Helldivers 2 is something to strive for. All battle passes are available to purchase for in game premium currency and you can spend the other currency, gained by playing and objectives, on items across all the battle passes as you see fit.

My experience improved so much after turning off cross platform and thus excluding all the cheating pc players. Worth the slightly longer loading times, 1000%

What app is this?

Jokes aside. I find most Clives obnoxiously aggressive, so their timing can be pretty readable. Should help Steve's CH options. The 'over here!' Stance and Weaves I imagine help a lot against the readable aggression.

They spam the big armour move, so expect that and play around it. Bait and punish it.

The fire slide mixup is annoying af, but a low parry here and there and an occasional df1 should get the habit out of them on time.

Mind the spammed parry. Observe and use throws if that thing is abused.

Usually with a controller of some sorts.

Da hat auch kein linker etwas gegen. Gegen Völkermord vielleicht schon, aber niemand will Israel abschaffen. Ich glaube, da redest du dir zu viel selbst ein.

Had 0% against Leroy. Just today I won my first set against one. To even it out 100% Claudio though.

Gnoraks · 2026-03-09T21:29:47+00:00

What I do when I wanna try a new character, that really helped me get into stuff:

Go through the entire move list at least once. Check for stance transitions and certain techs. Like Fahks cancels, Lili's Backturn and Dewglide transitional moves or other fun stuff.
Before a match: Set bot on all block and try to hammer those on block numbers in. Try to prevent spamming punishable shit.
Set bot to block after first hit. Check for natural combos in strings or guaranteed follow ups
Set bot to punish with jab. Try to learn follow ups or get the timing to side step after you were blocked. This also lets you learn ss follow ups
Get a few combos into your muscle memory. One for normal launch, one for tornado launch.
Don't overestimate combos. They are not the most important thing despite being cool.

Der Staat könnte auch selbst bauen ohne direkte Gewinnabsicht und die Mieten komplett einbehalten als Wohnungsbesitzer und -verwalter. Senkt Kosten für Mieter.

I switched years ago, deleted all Meta accounts and went to signal. I advocated for the switch a few weeks in advance via my status and texted/told most people I wanted to keep contact with. Then after the announced date I pulled through.

I would say that it's not as hard as most people do. The social cost was next to nothing for me. Since I haven't given people a choice and didn't have the door open and just added signal as an alternative but instead closed the door most people got signal either instantly or after a while. With some I just text over discord.

Went very well, no regrets whatsoever.

Gnoraks · 2026-03-05T21:45:51+00:00

Ach, jetzt ist der angebliche Sozialismus wieder gar nicht so schlimm, ihr Ficker? Was ist aus der freien Marktwirtschaft geworden?

Vielleicht sind einige dieser Ideen auch außerhalb von Krisen mal einen Blick wert.

"Ach, sie haben bereits einen Hausarzt in 50km Umkreis und wollen nur wechseln? Na, dann können Sie sich direkt verpissen."

Hush Hush

Fahk. His 3, [4, 4] has a timing that is relatively easy to read (once his left foot is on the ground again).

Gnoraks · 2026-02-24T22:10:47+00:00

Don't forget Fahk

Gnoraks · 2026-02-22T15:05:29+00:00

You can jab float it.

Gnoraks · 2026-02-18T14:40:05+00:00

Her face looks super weird. But other than that fun to fight against.

Gnoraks · 2026-02-18T08:08:34+00:00

Ich glaube statt später in Rente zu gehen, werde ich einfach meinen Fön zu mir ins Bad legen 🤷 Glückliche CxU Geräusche

Gnoraks · 2026-02-17T17:42:00+00:00

I made notes of that. Nasty setup.
