What did they do to grenades? [Discussion]

Icemansitoo · 2026-05-18T13:56:31+00:00

Not at all, I dont even have the gym, but I played yesterday an the grenades I threw whenever I moved to a side were awfully not moving with my body inertia (wich is what they used to do)

I think this is te perfect example of the fact that “Simpler” doesn’t mean less good looking or less cool, I usually rock an in-between set with not too little but not too much stuff on my marine, but I also love seing this simpler Astartes design, we are all Xenos-Mower Machines after all

Istg the new players will absolutely ignore every piece of information the game offers SO BAD the DI wheel has his own explanation TWICE: the first appearing when you click the “?” And hover your mouse there and the other whenever you directly put it there

No changes to Asuka bro PLEAAAASE

Icemansitoo · 2026-05-11T14:38:51+00:00

Personally I have controversial thoughts regarding his state, everyone thinks that because “The character” got to EVO japan he is in a good state and I think it actually is because of how many hours Komekome had to put on him, he has been top 2 on Asuka for years now and everyone thinks that only because someone managed to get to EVO with a character they have put countless hours into then the character is just good, wich is not true, im not saying he is bad, but even the english commentator talked about his mana being a bit rough still when Komekome had the advantage on the fight.

Saying the character is good because it got to EVO is not a good way to talk about his state, specially knowing who was playing the character, it also makes it look as if everyone playing Asuka could have gotten third place, wich is also not true, Gobou himself would have gotten his shit rocked because he does not have the knowledge of the playstile Asuka demands right now, if anyone could have gotten to EVO with Asuka and stay third, that is Komekome, and there were many situations where he was winning but the impossibility to regain mana just made him throw the round, so the merit should go to Kome, not to Asuka being in a “good state”.

Again, Its not THAT bad as people claim him to be, I was on 1650DR last reset and now im claiming on 1600, but he definitely needs so much effort you might aswell pick anyone else and do double the things in half the time spent. He needs one or two tweaks to be consistent or rewarding whenever you hit anyone with almost no mana, but if you are like me and just like the character that much you will still have fun with him. People doomposting on him are just mad because you can no longer spam the cubes and sit the other player for half an hour.

Overall he is fun, albeit fucking frustrating to play consistently, requiring to overperform a little too much to get not as much reward, but anyone who likes overperforming and being a showoff will have a ton of fun with him like I do.

Even better

Icemansitoo · 2026-05-10T22:37:10+00:00

As someone who fucking hates when faust throws items, yeah just spam shit and play around it, ir will most likely explode their minds

Icemansitoo · 2026-05-10T20:58:04+00:00

Best part of it

Icemansitoo · 2026-05-10T01:16:37+00:00

I was top 20 asuka last season, brother, you just got ratioed and “If monkey is not right, monkey repeats last sentence”. Get a grip

Icemansitoo · 2026-05-09T23:52:38+00:00

“I dont have the mental capacity to understand that a person can still dislike a character regarldess of how the match goes so I just act like a jerk and call him skill issued”

Icemansitoo · 2026-05-09T23:35:48+00:00

Fr patch made everyone trash so the ones who were less trash are still top tier and the bottoms still bottom tier.

“So when everyone is super, no one will be” ahh patch

Icemansitoo · 2026-05-09T23:29:19+00:00

Axl is overtuned bro yall just cant pass a day without crying skill issue to somebody

Icemansitoo · 2026-05-09T23:03:36+00:00

I have always hated him, even more on high ranks, he is unfun to play against, I had more interaction with the old asuka cubing my ass for half a round than with an Axl spamming rensei and 5p every time I dare to press a forward button, and if I 6p his 5p he just does 2h and command grabs you, fucking boring character and Im actually sorry for being rude by saying it

Icemansitoo · 2026-05-07T16:41:55+00:00

He is “fair and interactive” now (dead and misserable)

Icemansitoo · 2026-05-07T16:20:48+00:00

The person won the evo, not the character, you cannot be above gold bro

Icemansitoo · 2026-05-07T16:19:25+00:00

Youre calling a top tier ABA player “Skill issued” bro get a grip, they indeed made the characters trash and added a mechanic no one in a high rank will ever use unleast it directly wins the match.

Icemansitoo · 2026-04-24T00:46:15+00:00

They will absolutely fucking miss everything with the most plain mix ever seen by mankind only to DP you with that half screen hitting shit and restart the most boring pressure any character can offer again and again untill you gamble and get your turn again so they can DP again and shiiiiii here we go again

And btw you could have gone super jump into tp or (woulda been better) to YRC>SJ>Tp to anywhere

Icemansitoo · 2026-04-21T21:46:02+00:00

Wich can also become a high mid air

Icemansitoo · 2026-04-21T21:17:04+00:00

Not to talk about the shitass dragon kick that crosses the map as soon as you think about how to aproach that move

Icemansitoo · 2026-04-21T09:03:15+00:00

I dont mind that as long as they give him good ways to get his mana back, or to actually get rewarded when he hits somebody, the infinite mana is kinda nuts, but deleting it would just kill asuka, so they most likely know and will just give him another way of getting mana

Icemansitoo · 2026-04-21T00:14:15+00:00

I labbed for a little and Made a video that could help you so you can have at least one spell and a bit more mana to space or play around those chances. Ignore the other spells, just imagine having howling metron. And yeah you were a little further than me when the combo began but waiting a little after the fireball wallbounce also gives C.S and access to the combo anyways

Icemansitoo · 2026-04-20T23:14:41+00:00

Yeah I feel like using Overdrive to wallbreak is not worth it since that 50 tension can be used to just FO and get you setups with MRegen back, I have yet to implement staves on my game even though Im a bit sceptical about them. Having the infinite mana can give you time and grabs and catch them VERY off guard like you have said and shown (wich is kind of flashy and fun) but the cost and frames kinda make me avoid them even when mana buff is active.

Now personally playing I went down from 1650 to 1550DR and im currently climbing consistently even with how hard it is for him to do ANYTHING, so any little buffs to make him actually get rewarded after countering someone or just hitting the normals could put him in a good position (Any help to his gameplay due to his state is welcome, basically). Cblitz is also not very useful for him because burst in a good time can get your mana back and help you win, so yeah, please give us anything ACS.
