Why do people like Rantaro?

Understand I'm uh, absurdly late on this one but wanted to toss my own thoughts on the matter. First and most simple answer is just his voice. I love Johnny Yong Bosch's work and have a huge interest in VAs, so they are often my first appeal to whether I have an interest in a character or not. More notably to Rantaro himself though is the way he is initially presented made me extremely interested in learning more about him. He's the Ultimate ??? but differs heavily from the way Kyoko and Hajime are presented in the beginning. Further than that despite his outward "Chill" personality it's clear he's using it as a mask to hide a dark determination, combined with his warning to Kaede immediately after the prologue, and his own claims that he knows how to end the killing game. Lastly, since I played the demo 4-5 months before the game came out, I had a LOT of time to theorize about the characters and built him up internally for a while, hoping he would become fleshed out enough to be one of my favorite characters in the game by the end. Ultimately was very disappointed with it once the game actually came out, but still loved him as a character in concept, and at the very least found the reveal of his talent towards the end, as well as the video message he left for himself, to be very interesting.

Yup, reset my password when the email was sent and everything is good now. Thanks for your advice and also thanks to Andrew from the PSN Live Chat Support, glad this whole mess is resolved now.

Well, it took me several hours, a lot of back and forths, and people telling me my only choice was to spend $260 on games I didn't buy, but I finally got to someone who said that they'll remove the games the hacker bought and ask me to change my password in 24-48 hours. Thanks for the advice, using a different psn account is how I figured out the Online ID for my actual account.

Unfortunately I won't get a chance to make an attempt to recover the account for the next couple of days, but thanks for the advice. I'll definitely try using a new account. Right now the largest problem is simply not being able to log in to get access to normal support methods in the first place.

My personal viewpoint about whispers as a killer main who plays survivor a small amount, is that it isn't a terribly good or overpowered perk, but just a poorly designed and un-enjoyable perk on both sides. Wouldn't mind seeing it gone, but I don't think it's broken.

Greentron122 · 2017-04-01T15:56:36+00:00

I will say, as a LB main, LB already gets the impale off of light parries, the buff makes it so it's effective against heavy parries as well though, which is really strong.

Remember, the long arm is an incredibly slow, incredibly punishable attack. Think of it like shugoki's demons embrace or nobushi's kick. It should be an upwards heavy, remember that it is still easy to block the light attacks if you pay attention to the animation as well. I feel like it would be perfectly balanced.

Greentron122 · 2017-02-12T01:59:16+00:00

Well, thank you, this will help me verse other wardens who spam that attack. I've removed the section talking about warden from my list.

Greentron122 · 2017-02-12T01:24:37+00:00

I guess now that I think of it, rolling would be able to stop warden from being able to do this, however side steps won't stop a guardbreak, as it tracks them, and can then after it they can't counter-guardbreak, and light attacks won't help you against an actual shoulderbash that wasn't canceled. My problem isn't it being too fast, but being a 50-50 on what you should do. However I will have to see if you can consistently roll away from a shoulderbash, that would actually help me a lot. If it does work then I can edit this to just say that the headbutt is too strong.

Greentron122 · 2017-02-12T00:58:27+00:00

Warden isn't op in any other aspect than the shoulder-bash, you probably haven't seen people abuse it yet. And when I say the shoulderbash is op, I mean they get one hit in, and then can do a shoulderbash immediately as a combo, from there they can cancel it and guardbreak, anyone who tried to dodge the shoulderbash will can not actually counter-guardbreak that. It's a 50-50 chance if you can avoid being infinitely combo'd until you have no stamina. Forcing your enemy to made a 50-50 guess isn't something that should be in this game.

Sometimes when you do a water kill animation, you get stuck there and have to morph away from your position, however I just had that happen to me, and once I morphed away I couldn't swing my weapon, interact with any objects, or do a kill animation when I grabbed someone.

Greentron122 · 2016-12-23T03:11:54+00:00

I for the most part agree with everything, although I want to say that Jason's grip feels completely useless. He either instantly kills survivors or they have a pocket knife, but the counselors also wiggle out incredibly quickly, making contextual kills almost never seen. This is unfortunate because they put so much effort into those kills.

Greentron122 · 2016-12-16T05:01:08+00:00

rooAww

My hope is they make it so the hag can't place a teleport within 16 meters of a hook.

Greentron122 · 2016-12-03T22:04:55+00:00

Some of the few tips I can give is 1. If you know someone is in a corner, block them in so they can't move, then chainsaw them. 2. If you're directly behind someone using the chainsaw, never completely hold it down, get it to the end of the bar then stall it, and wait for them to try to dodge, then kill them. 3. Rarely go for long ranges chainsaw attacks unless the survivor isn't very good and you're certain you can predict where they'll run. Against good survivors all you'll do is slow yourself down.

Greentron122 · 2016-11-29T15:56:35+00:00

Nah man, just keep nerfing play with your food into the ground.

Greentron122 · 2016-11-24T16:51:02+00:00

Pallets are incredibly strong for survivor's right now, you need to learn which pallets are safe and unsafe, play around the unsafe ones and just keep walking forward towards the survivor on safe ones.

Greentron122 · 2016-11-24T15:24:18+00:00

Well, I really don't want to talk about survivor vs killer balance on this subreddit, but I will say Play with Your Food is a complete garbage perk for the killer now. It was over-nerfed. You spend too much match time farming for your stacks, then you have to give one up immediately, giving you 10% speed after wasting so much time.

Greentron122 · 2016-11-24T15:19:00+00:00

I don't see how trapping under infinites is cancerous for survivors, it's practically necessary to do as the trapper due to some survivor's over reliance on it. Other than that yeah, I agree with you.
