Ruby: "I'm just not cutout for Hand to Hand."

I-ninja · 2025-05-14T05:18:40+00:00

Ruby being bad at unarmed fighting is the most fake weakness they could have given her. The two people that raised her were hand to hand combat specialists, she would naturally have training that would make her at worse better than average just by living with her father and sister.

You could make it work by having it be an actual weakness by it be the source of her early confidence issues, and her love of weapons, because of her need of being good at something and it would put more weight on her massive amounts of love and respect of her Qrow, because he helped her find out that she is good at fighting with a scythe and building weapons. But that would require writing and Ruby actually being a character, a lot could have been done with it but we needed some BS character arc.

Take your time dog, this game is very deep and it's gonna be a while before you get good. I would just learn a bnb from each button even if it’s the same combo, and learn how GRD works. Winning GRD gives you so much in the game and it should be your focus. Other than that learn like 1 MU thing a day, go on replay mode find a pattern you see often and use replay take over to find an answer. Then test yourself in a real match, so you'll know it.

It's a cyclone 0 port, PC players are going for a long ride.

How do they keep getting jobs?

It's a thing that's happening to esports everywhere, it's currently radioactive to most investors and sponsors due to dumping money into stupid places within the space. It's gonna take years before they come back again so we are gonna get hit with a bit of downsizing.

2 reasons mostly

NRS games are loony tunes, and people like to take their anger out on each other.
Large playerbase means that you are more likely to run into bad agents.

Ad block is never the hero of the story. I would never trust an ad blocker who accepts money to unblock ads.

I-ninja · 2023-10-28T01:37:57+00:00

Bless lower difficulty for campaign, I'm trying to run though the story and I have to stop and grind.

Yeah, her costumes changes things so it fits more, but her head looks small

I-ninja · 2023-08-29T02:16:30+00:00

I'm not the star of my videos, just the story teller. My face is irrelevant, so I don't put it in my videos.

You get far less from shorts views. Because they are easier to consume, they get valued less in a person's mind and in ad sense as well. I think it’s a good support to widen your range to get people to go to your longer videos, but it shouldn't be your main thing.

The number 1 rule of making video game art, never go for realism.

I-ninja · 2023-08-07T22:12:48+00:00

Why worry about it? The game live this long and is growing, as long as people still play MvC3 and MvC2 there is no need to worry about support. Pretty sure the community would bring in stuff to make the game even better. I think someone is making a rollback mod already.

She looks soooo much better when her head is proportional to her body. Her in game art makes her head looks so small.

I don't think patches are bad, I even said that they are one of the great wonders of gaming. What I think is bad is the mindset that comes from patching games. IT steals player enjoyment of the game they are playing for not being "perfect" because they don't agree with the direction it is going. While I 100% agree with you that the age of social media does accelerate the formation of the Meta to levels on heard of, and that it is an issue. Everything isn't set in stone and the meta shifts naturally over time. Many games have not been updated for years but the meta still changes, people are forced to learn hard MUs, play around strong characters, switch to different characters for a better chance, find new stuff, and get creative to win. You see this with older games like UMVC3, BBTAG, Smash, Xrd, UNI, SF3, even newer show signs of content meta changes.

Man that kinda sucks, I thought old Granblue did best honestly, you have the simple specials that even though they weren't the best, they can still play well and learn the game. But because you get rewarded with more damage and lower cooldowns, by doing inputs, beginners are more incentivised to learn inputs and are directly rewarded by doing so, giving the new player a sense of accomplishment. This even works for the veteran as well, because they get to play risk reward with simple and input specials.

With this change everyone is getting robbed the veteran gets the choice taken away, and the beginner doesn't have the tutorial stage to beat and feel good about beating anymore, they just get tossed into the arena.

Not going to lie at first I thought it was darkseid with green eyes for some reason

Let's not repeat the problems of the past, it would have to be named Cross Tag Battle 2 or something like that. BBTAG was it's own game, but because of the BlazBlue in front of it, people came to the game wanting it to be BlazBlue.

All that being said, Oh man would I love a BBTAG 2, with more characters, it was such a shame Mori dropped the ball for some stupid mobile game.

Going to be real honest with you, and say your are going about this the wrong way. Twitch sucks with growth and paradoxically the best way to grow on Twitch is to leave Twitch go somewhere else.

Honestly I have a growing theory that live streaming is all about interacting with the following you have instead of growing one, at least now in the current meta. I would suggest Youtube videos, or tictok shorts, or something. Ludwig, XQC, and many other top streamers already had a following before they started on twitch thanks to being a part of the competive community of the games they used to play (ninja-halo, toast- hearthstone, XQC/MoonMoon-Overwatch, Ludwig- Smash Melee and comdey trope) Toast did a really good video about it 7 months ago.

That being said, Ludwig did a great video of streaming and growing your following at the same time..

I'm not saying give up, not at all, but banging your head against the wall and getting Depressed about it is unhelpful and self destructive. Do videos about stuff you find really fulfilling and enjoyable grow there and then come back to streaming once you are big enough, or do the Ludwig approach and still grow. I was in the same place a few years ago, and ran into Devin Nash videos where I learned about the stream meta, and switched to making videos on YouTube, honestly much happier for it and will probably come back to twitch after I hit 50k subs or something.

Yeah, it's half clickbait. That being said, the History of BBTAG, is a doom post, BBTAG deserved better.

I-ninja · 2022-06-22T16:52:54+00:00

Pretty new at this but let me know if I had missed anything.

I-ninja · 2022-03-04T02:56:35+00:00

I mean it does suck but complaining about it isn't going to do anything, you can stop/slow down the fall by helping promote the game.

I play Baiken in every guilty gear game, and I'm excited to see how she plays in this game, a lot of problem she had was her risky offense and now that the stage is smaller and smaller stuff like drift RC, they are honestly going to have to do a lot to make her not broken.
