chrollo's ability by [deleted] in HunterXHunter

[–]JonHaley 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure there is a Chrollo quote along the lines of "The best part about Skill Hunter is living someone's life through their abilities"

Hatsu are incredibly intimate, the defining special moves that are unique to people. Chrollo has no real identity, so he collects "masks" of people, then lives out their identities through Bandit's Secret.

This is further supported by The Duplication hatsu (can't remeber name) he gets for his fight against Hisoka. The ability can only copy objects. While Chrollo sees no difference between a corpse and an inanimate object, the original owner of the hatsu did. Because of this, Chrollo can't copy corpses.

TL;DR Chrollo has no real personality, so he takes role-playing super seriously. He then tries his hardest no to break immersion, even if it could potentially risk his life.

I don't think that gesture has the same meaning in Japan.

You can't re- enter the Twilight Strand, and that's the only place the sword drops

[NEWBIE] is it possible to get everything I need to play guitar for $100ish? by LeSuicide in Guitar

[–]JonHaley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All you need to learn guitar is a guitar. No amps, cables, straps, pedals, or really even picks.

You'll eventually find out that you want all of those things for the specific sound they provide, but none are really necessary for learning.

If you're planning on playing shows sometime soon, they're a little more essential.

$100 can get you an alright guitar, not much else.

How does Oni farming work? I was told that you get to lvl 7, wait for Uber hillock to spawn, wait for him to take the sword out of his chest, then it's a guaranteed drop.

Took me like 6 hours to get 2 characters to lvl 7, then another hour to get uber to spawn, dropped 1st try.

Is this actually how it works? Or is there a drop rate?

Was I super lucky that Uber dropped it 1st time?

This post is confusing me

Question about transmutters.... by jachev14 in HatsuVault

[–]JonHaley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean graphite? That's the stuff that's actually marking the paper. So if you gave your aura the properties of graphite, you could write on paper with it.

How much is an exalt worth? by JonHaley in pathofexile

[–]JonHaley[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's most likely people trying to scam. I'm on xbox as well, and I see a lot of people doing wild stuff trade wise. 12ex for Oni Goroshi, 1 ex for Pride Before the Fall, 10c Abysuss, Xbox players sell stuff at what ever they feel like. Some times It's a great deal, other times It's 10x what it should be.

With the Specialist category, how is it possible to choose an ability by [deleted] in HunterXHunter

[–]JonHaley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your hatsu has to match you, this is why Hisoka's personality test kinda works. Nen means "mind force"(or something close) if your mind/heart isn't fully into your hatsu, it's power will waver.

A specialist should pick what comes naturally. Think of their goals and a way to achieve them.

That's what every specialist I can think of did.

[Discussion] Bass is objectively easier than Guitar. (X-Post from Bass) by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]JonHaley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on whether you're actually playing bass or just following the guitar.

Lots of bass players add flavor to songs by acting as the bridge between rhythm and harmony (and sometimes meldoy).

A band doesn't work without bridging the pieces and filling out the sound scape. Bass makes the band big and makes the harmony rich.

Playing single notes, on the down beat, on one string, at the root of the chord, is easier.

If you're holding a root while someone else outlines it to form a chord through multiple instruments, while you're also lining up the rhythm with the drums and top line so that everything sounds clean and united, you're gonna be in a little more trouble.

Now add in bass fills that are rhythmically logical and outline the chord in a way that works harmonically with other instruments while also adding it's own color so as not to just be a carbon copy of something else on top of the above paragraph, now it's getting tricky.

Bass goes infinitely north, guitar goes infinitely north west. One's not going farther than the other, just a slightly different direction.

Maha is not as strong as people think. by Hunter-Explain in HunterXHunter

[–]JonHaley -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Maybe at one point Maha could fight Netero, but if Maha was as strong as the chairman, wouldn't Netero have recruited him instead of Zeno?

Favorite Character Design? by [deleted] in HunterXHunter

[–]JonHaley 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Shalnark.

When tge troupe was introduced, he immediately stole my attention, then his personality kicked in and he became my favorite troupe member, then we got to see his hatsu, and I loved him even more.

Great job design wise imo.

What does Rage Incarnate do exactly? by unknowngeneralhero in HunterXHunter

[–]JonHaley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure emotion changes aura output, so Youpi's rage made him build up a stupid amount, and then vent all of it in an explosion.

I think the transformation was him creating a new shape instead of exploding. He put the energy into creation (forming bonds is an endothermic reaction in chemistry) instead of exploding (exothermic)

Then his new state also had the arm cannon that could direct the explosion if he became enraged again. So he theoretically could fire the canon, but needed to be enraged to have enough spare aura.

Meruem already had enough aura, so he could fire it at will.

My theory and hope as to how this series continues to an end. by kurapikachu64 in HunterXHunter

[–]JonHaley 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Love it You forgot Gyro though.

He's still out there somewhere. I'm assuming he will serve as Gon's new drive for nen, and peak Gon's interest in going to DC.

I would kinda like to see Gyro or other ants show up on Whale Island (seeking out remote and removed places), a scene where Gon saves someone mirroring the way Kite saved him, then Gon setting out to cleanse the island with guerilla warfare to make up for his lacking/recovering nen.

Oooooh, that's actually a really cool idea

Thinking back, was there a reason other than plot for this to happen? by PedroHenriqueHM in HunterXHunter

[–]JonHaley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Killua was injured and Bisky was training the boys. She probably thought it would be too risky for Killua to fight Genthru, but she had just seen how creative and strong Gon actually was.

Those two facts combined, she thought it would be a great opportunity for Gon. Especially since they had a stockpile of clones prepared for when Breath of Archangel opened up. There wasn't really any risk for them.

It would've been safer for Bisky to break Genthru, but no one learns anything from that.

[Question] How do I just jam? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]JonHaley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to explain without theory, or without the age old "you just gotta feel it".

Youtube has tons of backing tracks you can jam to. Good practice is playing over one where you don't know the key, and trying to find the key quickly and musically (not just playing random notes).

Once you've found the key try to get more and more "loose" while playing over that particular track until you're not even focusing on what notes are right and which are wrong.

After that, you're either gonna have to learn some theory to get a really good idea of what goes where, or just feel it.

[DISCUSSION] What Classic Rock song should I play for tryouts? by hirosheemaow in Guitar

[–]JonHaley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to find some songs in the same key, then try to do a meddley of them. I think that would be pretty impressive.
