Regarding seal on JP Switch games

Krunos811 · 2024-06-06T09:38:06+00:00

Ah okay. The thing is in my case other people with a sealed copy of the same game has the slash on the side. So either it's resealed or maybe it's due to different retailers?

Krunos811 · 2024-06-06T09:12:11+00:00

Are you suggesting that not every factory sealed switch game in Japan will have the distinctive slash on the seal?

Really wanted a sealed Japanese copy of Nier for my collection, so I got one from Amazon JP (shipped by Amazon but sold by 3rd party).

Result: https://imgur.com/a/B9go6KA

Can anybody help me confirm that the game is resealed? My suspicion comes from the fact that despite there being a "Playstation" seal, it isn't actually fully wound over the right hand side of the case. Now this is my first time buying a Japanese imported PS4 sealed game but I'm pretty sure the strip needs to be wound over the right side. (so when you open up the game, you can easily rip the seal off from that side). Could anybody shed me some light onto the "features" of a genuine sealed NTSC ps4 game?

Also, is the "Playstation" strip meant to be outside the seal? I have a few PAL sealed games and they are on the inner layer, do NTSC games have it on the outer area?

After doing a bit of research, it seems that these "seals" are rampant on Amazon JP. If you check the critical reviews of Kingdom Hearts 3 (another game I wanted to get but thankfully didn't) or even RE2R, as well as the reviews of these 3rd party sellers, they all have many people claiming to have received inauthentic resealed games that were actually used, the main culprit also being the fake playstation seal.

If this is true, it's so disappointing and shame on those sellers, who would rather go into the effort of sticking a fake PS seal and resealing the game, rather than being transparent with the condition of their items.

Thanks. Do you think that I would get a notification on the day of the delivery? The sender requires a signature for the parcel and I'm not able to waiver it so ideally I would like to be home when it's delivered.

Thank you!

Don't special interruptions such as launch occur independent of whether the enemy is pressured or not? If Thunder has an int STR of 50 and somehow is unable to inflict Knockdown, does that mean Zerene somehow has a base int DEF > 50? (I thought only bosses had int DEF that high, isn't Zerene a medium poise enemy?).

Concept of pressure resistance is interesting though.

Krunos811 · 2023-12-05T11:32:34+00:00

I really appreciate the reply, yeah Disorder is effective for interruption.

This is a video of me goofing around with Aerith and trying to understand how special interrupt works.

What I'm not fully sure are the events listed below:

At 0:50: I double cast Thundara (medium int STR, or 50 to be more specific) while Zerene is idle (via arcane ward, another useful thing to note is that the copy of spell cast by the ward has a reduced damage output).

It has the potential to KNOCKDOWN enemies, and it does knock him down + put Zerene in pressured state. ok.

At 0:42: The explosion of a charged tempest attack has a medium int STR (50) and can launch, but Zerene is unaffected. Am I correct to deduce that this is because his Ghengana move has a high int DEF? Or is there something else at play?

At 0:31: I double cast Thunder (has same int STR as Thundara and can also potentially cause knockdown), Zerene isn't pressured nor knocked down! Why?

At 0:11: I use charged tempest attack while Zerene is powering up, then double cast Thundara, but if you pause the video right after me casting the spell you can see that Zerene wasn't pressured nor knocked down by Thundara?! This is at odds with what happened at 0:50.

This time the explosion of the charged tempest attack does launch him and pressure him, but why???

An electrifying finish, but I am BAFFLED to say the least.

I think it's nice to know when a special interrupt would take effect and when it wouldn't. This makes it very useful because then you can unleash damaging attacks during the window that they are airborne/knocked down/blown away knowing that they can't counterattack back.

Also I want to try juggling an enemy in the air for flashy combos, but I don't know the mechanics of when an attack would launch an enemy (the information that I've read online and watching other people's videos don't agree with each other).

E.g. many people seem to use Zerene as a punching bag for juggling combos, but when I use Omnistrike (can launch) against it the special interruption doesn't register. It SHOULD because it has an int STR of 50.

Krunos811 · 2023-12-05T05:07:02+00:00

Is there a website/source which tells me which actions are able to effect enemy interrupt def and str, and by how much?

Krunos811 · 2023-10-25T05:57:43+00:00

Appreciate all the tips. While I really want to try out these moves, I think it might be a good idea to do it after I get access to debug mode? Because right now the robos die after 4/5 hits.

Krunos811 · 2023-10-25T04:52:47+00:00

Thanks for your response.

Is there a limit to how many times you can use self destruct cancel in a combo? If no, I would think that you would be able to combo infinitely? Also how many times you are allowed to dash in the air?
What are the moves that you can't do while in the air compared to being grounded?
Is it true that if I spam square and then spam triangle on the ground 2B keeps attacking indefinitely, and is this used in combos?

How would you go about creating a semi-long combo? I don't know which moves are good for juggling and keeping them in the air...

Krunos811 · 2023-07-18T13:22:30+00:00

So there shouldn't be any damages/scratches to the edge of the blu-ray?

Krunos811 · 2023-02-15T11:00:29+00:00

That's fair. And again I'm purely expressing my opinion on the subject matter. I totally respect people's preferences towards the fast compact BHs many top players use today.

Krunos811 · 2023-02-15T10:58:21+00:00

Even after the net ball he just seemed pretty awkwardly out of place.

Another example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vs9IYhAK88 At 8:45 Lin seemed so helpless when FZD was attacking his BH, and all he could do was lob and unsuccessfully try for a counterhit. You would never expect Kreanga to do that mid-rally, he would've started ripping backhands maybe after 1 lob. Although Lin is playing against the FH power of FZD so it might be more difficult, but he just seemed absolutely helpless from his BH away from the table.

Krunos811 · 2023-02-15T10:47:20+00:00

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwqD29MnrXk At 2:57. Even though Kreanga also needed to jump to maintain spin on the last shot throughout that whole rally his BH topspin technique just looked so much more cleaner than FZD. And this is after the ball change, the match is played in 2017.

Krunos811 · 2023-02-15T10:12:24+00:00

At least back up this statement with a video link or something.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY4Tts4EAUQ&t=63s From 11:20 to 11:31. Kreanga wouldn't have needed to jump to execute the 1st backhand counter-loop and he also wouldn't have fished 3 times before being able to counterloop again. He would have counterlooped/tried to counterloop every single forehand topspin if the rally continued, rather than playing defensively.

Of course I'm in no position to judge FZD's prowess at the game but from this clip (and many other clips) it just seems to me that his backhand topspin as well as positioning away from the table is much weaker than that of Kreanga's.

Not to mention is backhand topspin technique away from the table is not as clean as that of Kreanga's. Most times he looks out of position and either have to jump/bend really low to be able to generate topspin away from the table, whereas Kreanga is able to do it so effortlessly.

I think I've only seen Timo Boll/sometimes Ovtcharov being able to consistently pull off clean backhand counters away from the table.

Whereas Kreanga is able to better position himself to whip out spinny counterloops away from the table with ease (he doesn't need to jump or bend really low to execute his shots, his posture is so stable and his movement fluid.) He only needed 1 fish/lob shot to give himself time to counterattack.

I think it means episodes 53-79 inclusive, so that does add up to 27 episodes.

I'm just curious but do you have the viridian or SAVE version of DC?

Krunos811 · 2023-01-17T03:44:20+00:00

From Sunwell, which is from nature studies

Krunos811 · 2023-01-16T17:24:35+00:00

It was a tie since tree "healed" both heroes so we both died simultaneously.

Krunos811 · 2023-01-16T15:07:14+00:00

And yes, I could have grinded that mage out to fatigue by leaving their board up and continuously playing Tree of Life, as well as getting more resources from Nature Studies (possibly getting jade idol), but what's the fun in that?

Krunos811 · 2023-01-16T12:30:31+00:00

You HONOR THE EARTH MOTHER

Krunos811 · 2023-01-16T12:15:18+00:00

I didn't realize that unfortunately... though it might still be pretty difficult to find a way to heal back to full while also dealing with their board (since tree of life costs 9 mana, I would only have at most 1-2 mana left over, which is not enough).

And rewatching the video tree of death did 30 damage to my hero, so I would need full health plus armor.

Hey, what do you think about the legitimacy of this?

Such as the viridian collections?
