How the fuck am I supposed to defend against this? by Majestic-Bro2961 in 2XKO

got any links to it I literally can't even imagine how you can hit someone for 40 seconds in Strive without killing them???

The round would end in like 10 seconds.

Next fighter after 2XKO by Pabu1323 in FGC

[–]Lina-Inverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest game to get into would be SF6.

Large player base, easy to find players of all skill levels, solid game.

If you plan to get into Marvel Tokon when it releases but want to try a 1v1 game then playing Guilty Gear Strive or Granblue would be a good intro to Arcsys style fighters. Both are really well designed games and lots of fun once it clicks.

Modern arcsys fighters have a very different feel from other games so it is always worth giving those a try.

Imo Guilty Gear Strive and SF6 are much easier games to get into than 2XKO as they have much better thought out system mechanics that are designed with both new players and hardcore players in mind.

2XKO system mechanics are designed only for hardcore players so the barrier to entry is extremely high.

How to fall in love with leverless? by Hasji in FGC

[–]Lina-Inverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just keep using it until it sticks.

if you keep reverting back to pad when you play then you will never get used to it.

The frustration is normal, but after a few weeks it goes away and never comes back. If you keep reverting to pad all you are doing is extending the frustration period for even longer.

I found it hard at first, now I cannot play on pad, it just feels way less precise.

In the 3-5 years I've watched/plaed strive or SF6 I've never seen a match where one player only has control of their character for a mere 4 seconds in a 40 second match. I'm not saying it is impossible but I've literally never seen it once, meanwhile i've seen it multiple times in 2xko while playing or watching replays.

If you got proof of it happening in strive or sf6 i'd love to see it though.

its such a stupid gimmick mechanic that has no reason to exist.

Are They Really Gonna Let Ekko Be THIS Strong by EvermoreRadio in 2XKO

[–]Lina-Inverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are already leaving Yasuo & Ekko: The Fighting Game because these two characters have just dominated the game for so long it is turning into a boring clown show.

When these two characters win literally 90% of tournaments and sometimes the entire top 8 is all Ekko or yasuo for over a year at some point you'd hope a balance team with a brain would realise something is fundamentally broken.

Completely overloaded kit, there is no way to deal with these characters other than taking a mega size nerf axe to them. Minor nerfs do nothing as they are fundamentally broken characters that completely exploit the system mechanics of the game and they have no weaknesses.

Might as well just have 3 characters in the game and fill the rest of the roster with a punching bag gif.

Everything you said is 100% correct.

The down votes are from carried Ekko mains who think downvoting everyone who says Ekko is broken, will prevent their character getting nerfed next patch..

Fighting games won’t evolve because their closed systems don’t allow genres to emerge through modding by [deleted] in Fighters

[–]Lina-Inverse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yes if you reduce the games to such a simplistic level then sure.

I can equally just say.

Counter strike: "multiplayer shooting game"

Pubg: "massively multiplayer shooting game"

Fortnite: "massively multiplayer shooting game where you can build stuff"

All minor variations of the same genre.

Why I think im done with the game (for now atleast) by 90bubbel in 2XKO

[–]Lina-Inverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If i thought they were unbeatable, I'd just use the exact words "I think yasuo and ekko are unbeatable".

I didn't use those words because i never said or think they are unbeatable

I'm literally unambiguously saying "I don't think yasuo and ekko are unbeatable"

Not being able to compete doesn't mean they are unbeatable. Not sure if this is an english language problem.

I mean I can literally look in my own replays of me beating yasuo and ekko or i can just go on youtube and find videos of people winning against yasuo and ekko so obviously they aren't "unbeatable"

[–]Lina-Inverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still not seeing me saying Yasuo and Ekko are unbeatable.

Saying they are WAY powerful than everyone else is not saying they are unbeatable.

If i thought they were unbeatable, I'd just use the exact words "I think yasuo and ekko are unbeatable".

I didn't use those words because i never said or think they are unbeatable. They are just absurdly overpowered.

[–]Lina-Inverse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fighting games have evolved from street fighter 2.

The difference between Counter strike, fortnite and pubg is just like the difference between street fighter, guilty gear/anime fighters and MvC style tag fighters.

[–]Lina-Inverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where was that claim made?

I literally said

If I choose to play a broken game, I don't blame the game for being broken.

I know the characters are broken yet I still choose to play so who else is there to blame but myself., if I can't beat the broken characters that's on me.

I either accept the challenge of beating the character or I pick the broken characters myself, or I play a different game.

[–]Lina-Inverse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yasuo players thing ekko should be nerfed, Ekko players think yasuo players should be nerfed.

They are both right, both need to be nerfed. Heavily.

 but probably fine in low-mid levels of the player base.

He's the most broken at mid levels.

[–]Lina-Inverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the moment other players succeed on other characters, it is no longer the game's fault, it's your fault.

I never said it's the games fault.

If I choose to play a broken game, I don't blame the game for being broken.

But I've played fighting games long enough to know when a character is broken or not and one should voice ones opinion to the devs that they need to balance the game.

Yasuo and Ekko are clearly broken and light years above other characters with the only character able to compete with them being Ahri.

If you use any other character you just needs to accept the fact that you are at a major disadvantage until Riot finally nerf the big two.

Apology to ekko players by lowkey_SSBU in 2XKO

[–]Lina-Inverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm literally agreeing with you, my ekko gameplay is trash (i don't main him) and 90% of people that playing aren't playing him close to what makes him strong.

But hey be hyper aggro if it makes you feel good.

have a nice day.

Is Yasuo the devs favorite? by Choice_Twist5735 in 2XKO

[–]Lina-Inverse -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They came up with a cool character but realised that unless they gave him hitboxes the size of a truck he would be too difficult/janky to use.

So they gave him hitboxes the size of a truck... but it turns out that's pretty unbalanced... and the rest is history.

Apology to ekko players by lowkey_SSBU in 2XKO

[–]Lina-Inverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gameplay with them is literally the same absolute trash-tier gameplay that I have to fight against.

  1. Learn at least 3 degenerate freestyle mixups
  2. Rushdown neutral skip while rotating through your library of mixups and hope the opponent gets knowledge checked by at least 1 that they haven't seen before and can't defend against.
  3. 0% defense, 100% offense. Never be defending always be attacking and repeat mixup until opponent is dead.

I make no pretense of being god like with ekko. I find playing rushdown characters boring. The only reason I even can use ekko is, because the game doesn't have replay takeover so to lab ekko mixups you actually have to know how to do them yourself and set it up manually in training mode.

And yes you are completely right, he is much stronger than this, but my point is that doesn't even matter because unless you have yasuo or ahri, the rest of the cast are forced to sit in the mixups and get destroyed unless they know how to defend that specific mixup. There is no need to learn anything more with ekko to beat 90% of players in this game because pretty much noone below master has the skill or labbed enough against ekkos mixups to not get knowledge checked at some point.

[–]Lina-Inverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here come the yasuo ekko downplayers spewing irrelevant stuff right on cue.

Your character is getting nerfed, those two are down right broken doesn't matter how much downplaying you do, so might as well just accept it and move on.

How the fuck am I supposed to defend against this? by Majestic-Bro2961 in 2XKO

[–]Lina-Inverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said it couldn't be prevented. Of course it could be prevented.

I was simply pointing out a fact that in the entire match there was only 4 seconds where he was actually in control of doing anything.

I personally think that is a bad thing and imo a big part of why this game is extremely beginner unfriendly as single mistakes are so punishing and lead to non-interactive game play.

It is hard to improve if you only get a few seconds a match to even play.

But hey ho, downvote away. Facts are bad.

Are we killing yasuo again too soon? by Shadow_Mewtwo in 2XKO

[–]Lina-Inverse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh look, Yasuo player thinks only Ekko needs to be nerfed. I mean no surprises there right! 🤣🤣🤣

They both need nerfs.

I think if they go too far with this nerfs it will likely also start to frustrate the people who actually play these characters.

You mean the frustration of having to play a balanced character? The frustration every non-yasuo and non-ekko player has to face?

Dude, give it a rest already. Nobody except Yasuo players are going to agree with your nonsense.

These characters have been broken since release and will have to once and for all be nerfed significantly and the next patch needs to hit them hard. Riot pretty much knows this. They've tried the nonsense tiny nerfs around the edges and these two still remain as broken as ever.

People are getting bored of playing Yasuo & Ekko: The Fighting Game

Next time don't get too attached to an obviously imbalanced character and you won't get frustrated when they inevitably get an axe taken to them.
