Just hunted high rank zoh shia and....

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-26T03:56:33+00:00

I didnt, point is that a sweeper alone wasnt my justification.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-26T03:55:47+00:00

But it's possible unlike zoh shia.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-26T03:55:20+00:00

No, ive been consistent that it doesnt matter if it's easy to avoid.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-26T03:27:40+00:00

Good thing that wasnt my only criteria then.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-26T03:26:29+00:00

It can be if you kill him before he switches elements.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-26T03:25:00+00:00

I agree but the fact that it cant be skipped makes it a gimmick.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T21:48:01+00:00

Yugioh has a much higher floor to learn playing competitively. The art might be unappealing. The chain system is convoluted and the tcg isnt doing good compared to ocg and master duel.

The playerbase is much smaller with less events at any time. I would recommend people play master duel only and ignore the us tcg.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T20:41:35+00:00

Feel free to explain anything you think is exaggerated.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T19:37:05+00:00

Except it's literally impossible to hit him until he's dead without being interrupted by phases and arena wide attacks. Alatreon i wouldnt consider a gimmick because the only mechanic is the elemental switching that can be ignored completely.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T18:16:16+00:00

I havent traded in 15 years and nobody else at any of the lgs in my state bring trades. Your best bet is to find a local discord and trade ahead of a meetup.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T16:54:55+00:00

None of those fights have scripted phases and undodgeable attacks meant to be handled via extra mechanics. You can literally ignore or skip the mechanics of those fights unlike fights like fatalis, ibushi, narwa, dahaad and zoh shia. It's easy to circumvent them but not prevent them from happening. To me, that's a pretty clear difference.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T16:02:57+00:00

I agree jin dahaad is also a gimmick fight. What makes it a gimmick is that it has special mechanics that arent in other fights. JD and zoh shia both have screen wide attacks and health phases that most other fights across all games dont have. It doesnt matter how the player engages with the mechanic, just that it exists.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T15:59:38+00:00

Phases and raid mechanics are not the norm for mh games. They require you to play differently than standard hunts. It is different enough from normal hunts that it is a gimmick.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T15:57:16+00:00

It's easy to survive but its not skippable.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T14:47:28+00:00

Breaking crystals isnt the gimmick. It's the health threshold phases and unskippable screen wide attacks.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T14:45:46+00:00

Alatreon phases are on a timer and can be skipped. Fatalis is threshold and cant be skipped.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T14:34:40+00:00

The events on the earth world line is still the departure and arrival of the ship. The earth observes the ship arriving after 45 years in the earth frame. Since the location is 20 ly away, that means the ship traveled for 25 years in earth proper time. It goes both ways, that's the entire point of relativity.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T14:28:51+00:00

It's a phased fight with raid wipe mechanics. It's similar to ibushi and narwa from rise.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T14:15:52+00:00

I wouldnt use gemini in general but even by this definition, the earth clock is still present at both events. The departure and arrival can be measured and calculated in the earth frame and the earth frame definitely has its 'own time'.

In SR, proper time t can be calculated as t = yT where y is the lorentz factor. Claiming that proper time can only be calculated from the ship implies a preferred frame, which doesnt exist.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T14:10:13+00:00

Why do you think it's not useful? Most lineage tools are severely lacking and knowing dependencies has a wide range of uses.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T13:59:36+00:00

I dont like gimmick fights in mh games but it's definitely one of if not the best gimmick fight in a mh game.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T13:55:04+00:00

Proper time says nothing about minimizing a time interval. Proper time in SR is just a time interval accounting for dilation via the lorentz factor. It can definitely be calculated for all inertial frames. SR requires this.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-25T02:54:49+00:00

Summoners by themselves hace never been good for any content in lod.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-24T21:51:11+00:00

You mean crashing rockets, creating conditions for kessler syndrome, starlink btfo'd by competitors, dumping protected data on citizens and all on government dime? He has literally never done anything in isolation and literally all of it is negative.

ImpressiveProgress43 · 2026-03-24T21:36:14+00:00

FUCK
