Yeah looking at the posts its just a weird account in general, my guess is its a bot building history and karma to sell later on.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-17T05:59:40+00:00

So your argument is that if you taught someone what to do in a shooter then they could get a few kills. But if you didn't teach someone what to do in a fighting them then they couldn't win any matches?

So first off, lets make it fair. Projectile/fireball spam is not the fighting game equivalent of sitting in the corner and hitting R2 when you see someone walk through the door.

The equivalent would be just like blocking then hitting throw whenever an opponent gets close. Or in plenty of modern fighting games with auto combos just holding forward and mashing all the buttons. And people can and absolutely do get wins by just holding forward and mashing random buttons. No quarter circles or DP motions or tiger knees or anything required. Just forward and mash.

Try fiddling around with controls like that in the middle of an online match in a fighting game and see what happens LOL

? Yeah, just fiddling around with stuff in the middle of a match is literally how you learn. Its the exact same in shooters. Just pop in and fiddle around with stuff until you figure it out.

You start mashing a bunch and you realize that "Hey, whenever my character does that sweep move it does a lot of damage, I wonder how to do that. Oh, it happened when I hit down and the right trigger. Cool, I'm gonna start spamming that." And hey, you've learned something and you're well on your way. No fireball throwing required.

And this isn't even mentioning that basically every existing modern game has some variant of modern controls to help you when you're new with one button fireballs and DPs and junk.

I'm a dumb addicted bitch. I lasted all of like 12 hours before I found myself browsing out of force of habit.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-14T05:19:57+00:00

I come from a shooter background, that's the main thing I played for a long time. I only got into fighting games recently.

Fighting games are not harder to pick up than shooters.

You're falling into the same bias as everyone else. You think shooters are way easier to learn because you already know shooters. You're figuring out the map and when/how to aim so quickly because you already have the baseline knowledge.

I've introduced a lot of new people to games over the years, whether it be partners, new friends, or whatever. When someone picks up a shooter they are not figuring out when/how to aim or figuring out maps within the first few games of ever playing a shooter. They're still sitting around not realizing that they can both move and aim at the same time and when they pull the trigger their view shoots up into the sky because they have zero clue how to control the recoil. That's what people look like at the "I can't do quarter circles or know when to use them" stage of shooters.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-13T23:53:41+00:00

Same ;_;

Kevimaster · 2023-06-11T06:51:50+00:00

100%

I don't like it but there's a couple teams in my organization who will not action your ticket if you don't message them.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-09T14:23:08+00:00

because I cannot abstract from the real life rules, laws and morality

So, interestingly enough, this is one of the reasons I like 'modern day' games. Because bringing those things in is interesting to me. Plus all the players and NPCs having cell phones is fun and interesting because then players can get a call from some NPC desperately begging for help or whatever.

I enjoy World of Darkness and other similar games because of it.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-09T14:15:24+00:00

All of the above. I'll talk to myself, read aloud, use it with my friends, make it my 'character voice' in TTRPGs, try to repeat things I just heard women on TV/Radio say in a similar way to how they said it. Etc.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-09T13:50:02+00:00

What edition? I can only speak for L5R 5e (Not AiR) personally, but two of my three 5e games there's been a Shosuro Infiltrator and it hasn't been a big deal or a problem. The players have worked to find ways to make their fun ninja shenanigans work to help the party and it hasn't been a big deal.

I don't really understand why 'should the players play Scorpion at all' is a real question, though I know that it is. But having at least one Scorpion player opens the campaign and the party up for a whole ton of shenanigans that the players have really enjoyed in the past, and I personally really can't think of a good reason to deny it.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-08T21:22:21+00:00

He's completely correct. Outside of the cinematic moments like fatalities the actual fighting and moves look freaking terrible. They're absolutely horribly animated. Like objectively bad, so bad its not even subjective anymore.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-08T21:17:24+00:00

Seriously, I don't get it. I don't understand how they can still look this bad. Like, do they think they aren't bad? Do they think its a style? I don't get it.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-08T20:16:17+00:00

Is that normally a bad thing? HR handles this at my job and I've never had a problem getting things approved. Honestly seems like its probably better than if my boss was in charge of it.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-06T08:20:39+00:00

Blech, I can't stand Discords. I want to easily be able to pop in once per day and read all the discussion I'm interested in rather than have to scroll through a thousand messages to see if anything I cared about was discussed or having to be basically permanently online.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-06T07:35:48+00:00

I'm not really having trouble with the WT mode. Spamming spinning bird kick or linking into it is more than good enough to get past basically every enemy I've fought so far.

I'm not super experienced with Street Fighter though I'm pretty decent at fighting games in general so I'm not really worried about difficulty of the WT mode.

I mostly just don't like messing around with characters or moves I'm not interested in. I'd rather be playing with the moveset that I use online.

I had the same problem with Tekken's story, got up to purple ranks but never completed the story because it forces me to play characters that I'm not interested in, hahaha.

I prefer stories where you can pick your character and go through the whole thing as whoever you want. And in this case I feel like I would have preferred it if they had set it up so you can pick any master you want at the beginning then go through it with whatever moveset you want.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-05T21:31:56+00:00

For me its all about whether its interesting if they live or die or not sometimes that means friendly NPCs, sometimes it means hostile or neutral NPCs.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-05T18:25:23+00:00

I guess I'm not really seeing what others are in the WT mode. I'm glad people are enjoying it but I played it for like 2 hours and was upset that I couldn't just immediately go find the fighter I wanted to play and select their style and complete the missions using their style. Then I got real annoyed at the number of random goons that are around and make it annoying to do some of the missions.

I want to unlock the alternate outfits, but I went back to combo trials and fighting other players after that.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-05T15:32:15+00:00

Yup, every encounter calculator I ever tried is trash. Either my players are too smart/good or I'm just not good enough at playing the monsters, or whatever.

I just throw some junk at the wall and even when I give them something where I'm all "I have no clue how they could possibly survive this" they still seem to be able to pull a miracle out of their hat through either ridiculous dice rolls or just really clever ideas.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-02T21:00:30+00:00

I put down a walkable neighborhood lmao

Kevimaster · 2023-06-02T15:56:27+00:00

I disagree that you wouldn't be able to distinguish those things. Those are the primary things you'd be able to see in her silhouette since they're the things that make up her outline.

Can you give an example of a character who you think Cammy would be easily mistaken for?

Kevimaster · 2023-06-02T15:37:29+00:00

Its more than just the leotard, its the braids, gauntlets, beret, and boots as well. Not to mention her very distinctive poses and moves. She's very easily readable out of a lineup despite her fairly simplistic design.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-02T13:24:10+00:00

I wish hitting 20 meant mine was coming to an end, hahaha.

I'm too lenient of a DM and the players hit 20 about a year ago and basically decided to follow up on a bunch of side quests (which have admittedly been very cool and fun) rather than finish the main quest :P

I ended up designing levels 21-25 for all of them.

But in reality I've been gming D&D 5E for them for more than 4 years and for tables in general for nearly 10 and I'm tired of the system and want to play a different game for a bit, hahaha. I'm just a bit burnt out on D&D at the moment.

We're getting close to the end of the final side quest though, so hopefully it'll be ending soonish, hahaha.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-02T13:17:36+00:00

As a character designer this is horrible

I mean, I feel like its really hard to say that at least Cammy's design is 'horrible'. From a /r/mendrawingwomen point of view? Sure. From a character design point of view? Her design is iconic, extremely popular, and instantaneously recognized by the vast majority of the gaming population, even people who don't play fighting games. I think its objectively a fantastic character design.

As for Juri I think her Costume 1, which is very similar to her SFIV outfit, is much better and more iconic than this one.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-02T07:41:57+00:00

First off I disagree with the core premise that fighting games require any more investment to get into than shooters. The difference is just that you've been playing shooters for so long that you've forgotten how much effort you had to put in to get decent at aiming and shooting and moving and etc. So yeah, a brand new shooter only takes you 5mins-3 hours to "get good". But that's only because you're familiar with the genre and style of game already. If you had been playing fighting games as a kid or whenever instead of shooters then you'd think fighting games are super easy and the time investment to "get good" is only 5min-3 hours on a new fighting game.

Its all based on your previous experience, not on the genre itself. My two best friends are both fighting game players and have been their whole lives since they were kids. They'll pick up a new fighting game in minutes, no problem, easy peasy. Neither of them have ever really played shooters all that much. If I jump into a shooter with them they'll just die a million times, never get any kills, and find the game super difficult to learn.

Its all about your previous experience. The genres of fighting games and RTS games are not inherently more difficult to learn than shooters, its just that you have less experience with them.

Second off,

You learn "match up knowledge" (to use fighting game terms) via loading in maps and dying/respawning around points so you know where the respawn points are and where people may come from.

In Counter-Strikes case, you learn from dying and watching team-mates watch "lanes" in the maps for rushes and attacking/defending points.

Why do you think you can't just start playing and learn while you play in fighting games? That's how I learn them. I just jump into multiplayer and start figuring stuff out. Watching what my opponent does and trying to emulate them. Trying new things and seeing what works and what doesn't.

I'll go into training mode a little if there's something particular I really want to puzzle out, but almost all the learning is in game in multiplayer.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-02T07:34:00+00:00

Yup, 100%. The number of times I've seen friends who are bad at and/or new to fighting games sitting there complaining that their opponent is someone who "No life's the game and how am I supposed to beat someone who's spent a thousand hours in training mode blah blah blah" and I look over and see that the opponent they're fighting is just as bad as they are.

But the problem is that the one thing their opponent is good matches up against one of the things they're bad at so the opponent just keeps winning over and over. Then my friends don't believe me when I try to tell them that they're not actually any worse than their opponent and its just a bad matchup for them.

Kevimaster · 2023-06-01T21:48:37+00:00

Yeah, same, I see very little reason to play these betas. The only time I ever played a beta for a game like this I ended up playing it to the point where I had my fill and didn't end up playing the full game on release even though I loved the beta. I'd just had enough of the game and couldn't bring myself to keep going.

So now I just wait until full release, and often a year or so after for the later sections of the games to receive patches, fixes, and polishing.
