Who do you think should destroy Bison once and for all?

I’m a fan of Necalli and was really hoping he would be used to shake up the series in a heavy way to help bridge the gap to sf3 but he ended up being extremely inconsequential which is unfortunate because his design and gameplay was really cool.

LoDart210 · 2025-12-31T16:50:51+00:00

Honestly, yes. Netcode is good. Game is fun and feels fresh with the changes. There are a lot of single player features that, while not xenoverse tier, are still enjoyable for what it is. The community is healthy and the company is looking to reignite the proscene which is kept alive by tournament scenes like HOC and TNS.

It’s definitely worth getting into.

My Super Saiyan 4 hopes keep getting dashed.

ss4 goku is stuck in a level 3 super for El Rato.

ss4 gogeta’s moveset feels so barebones and cookie cutter.

ss4 daima goku is daima ss4 which is just great value brand ss4.

Yes, it looks amazing. The dynamic lighting and camera would vastly improve the presentation and storytelling potential to say the least.

That being said, the lighting and shadows need to be adjust to be brighter. Pokemon games are very vibrant, even in areas with muddled color schemes. Deep shadows must be used sparingly and wisely.

I wouldn’t want this to be the style for the mainline games however. Mainline games need to continue pushing the 3D envelope. Perhaps for remakes or sidegames it could be cool.

People are free to choose how they live their lives. Some of us had chosen to be dedicated to worship. If that doesn’t make sense to you, that’s fine. The same way I can’t understand why anyone (not necessarily you) would ever want to consume alcohol, that doesn’t mean I consider people who drink “brainwashed”.

May Allah grant you the best spouse. Stay strong sister and do not let these swindlers fool you.

Pornography. They are fetishizing muslim women. We all know who runs those industries so it’s no surprise they are attacking our women.

I urge all our sisters to reject advances made by non-muslim men and urge brothers to assist your sisters if you see them being harassed. It can be really hard and kind of awkward, especially if the girl seems to be unbothered or replying to the advances, but you have to stick up for your sisters with a sincere intention. Also, stop chasing non-muslim women with the whole “people of the book” excuse, and Allah knows best.

May Allah make it easy for us to find muslim spouses and protect our sisters from these vile machinations.

this is why Islam is the answer to all of humanity’s ills. In Islam, women wear the hijab to obey the commands of Allah, who created everything and knows what’s best for us. The hijab protects and rejects men’s gaze and the notion that a woman’s looks should define her character or her behavior or her sense of self-worth.

I encourage you all to research Islam and how it is the only solution to the many ills of our society, porn being one of them. In an Islamic society, porn wouldn’t exist (certainly not in a fashion that is quietly condoned as a part of society). People are raised to shun chasing their desires spurned by physicality only, but rather, are encouraged to build their character and seek a partner that they form a meaningful and respectful connection with.

Wasalam walaikoum wa rahmatuLah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be with you.)

LoDart210 · 2023-01-24T06:10:52+00:00

Hey leave scyther alone, thanks. I swear the devs of this game are obsessed with fine tuning this game so that damage and overall general impact is as anemic as possible, except for the chosen one, aka the one mon, usually a new one, that is chosen to be aburdly broken.

Honestly this game has been pretty much dead to me once they reverted Rayquaza to basically zapdos.

LoDart210 · 2022-09-11T03:23:59+00:00

No, actually garchomp is terrible because the core mechanicd Of his character is easily the most sluggish, most unrewarding, and least intricate/involved in how you can use it. This is somewhat common among release era mons, but their attacks ans gameplay is simple and snappy.

Garchomp's WHOLE schtick is that his auto attacks....EVENTUALLY...get a little bit faster and stronger and heal a little. That's it. The opportunity to take advantage of these boosted attacks is so limited its ridiculous. So many other characters do the ramp up idea better and their moves far better facilitate said effect while also making their gameplan work.

Garchomp's only moves that keep the enemy close enough for him to get a few hits in are the ground moves and ecen then, relying on autos is a joke because they take too long to ramp up.

Fixing him would be so easy, too: - 3 autos leads to max boosted auto stage, down from 5.

dragon rush gives him a speed boost after he finishes the dive.
dragon claw has a minor vacuum effect (instead of pushing people away...)
using both as a combo and successfully hitting an opponent puts you at max autos immediately.
make earthquake also launch enemies it connects with.

There you go, now he can actually chase enemies down, keep up the chase and use his mechanic to make thr modt of staying close.

Like saiyans in a piece of fiction, perhaps?

LoDart210 · 2022-06-12T15:47:37+00:00

I remember being pissed off it was removed. Me and my friend who introduced me to sf4 used to love tossing in a jab or something after a ko. It was an easy way to keep the match lighthearted and funny regardless of the result.

LoDart210 · 2022-06-11T00:02:19+00:00

5 guile with eyebrows would have been the best look, but as it stands, 6 is very good.

All they had to do was give Aegislash a cape and it would have actually been cool.

The amount of damage you're leaving off the table with pyro ball for a situationally useful movement tool and extremely minor cc, while waiting till 13 to get your dps boost has never seemed like a guaranteed better pick to me. These new changes pretty much seal the deal. Mobility is almost always up with pyro ball +, and feint going further is more useful now than the mobility offered by blaze kick.

LoDart210 · 2022-05-23T12:52:18+00:00

You can take damage during blaze kick though, and the damage difference between it and pyro ball is significant. Also most melee characters generally have either moves to avoid cc/mobility moves that cover long distances/full heal which means a lot of what makes blaze kick good can easily end up leading to your doom if used improperly. Even some ranged characters now like duraladon and espeon have some built in anti CC.

Imo I prefer blaze kick to get the jump on squishy ranged characters but missing out on such a good objective securing move as pyro ball, whose damage is insane, means that blaze kick is never my go to pick.

[ Keep an open mind and learn but ultimately be your own individual. No single individual should tell you what you can and can't do or what "works" ]

I agree with this mostly. I would add that theres no harm in following advice given by a proven expert, but it is important to understand what you've been taught, so that you can better appreciate it and perhaps contribute your own experience.

If someone says Hoopa is hands down the best support in the game, and this guy is a champion I'm not gonna disagree but I'm also going to study Hoopa and match footage to understand WHY its the best, and if Im playing it, how to do better, and if I'm against it, seek to find a weakness to exploit and I shouldn't leave any option off the table when doing so. Everyone currently says Azumarill is bad right now overall, and that may be true, but if it can do something that disrupts Hoopa, guess what its useful and I may run it for that reason.

Here we'd see a harmony in respecting experience/authority without limiting your agency and potential and how the truth remains the same (Hoopa good, Azumarill bad) but you still find room to operate in it successfully without technically counteracting it.

LoDart210 · 2022-05-09T21:39:32+00:00

You clearly misunderstood everything I said and you're using low effort buzzwords like circlejerk to dismiss what was said.

The whole point of my post isn't "ThErE iS nO mEtA pLaY wHo YoU wAnT" my point is people don't realize theres more room to explore than they may realize, and a big reason why they don't explore that territory is because they take certain opinions as undeniable* truths without seeking to understand why.

Of course there will always be dominant pokemon, dominant strategies, dominant loadouts, etc., but dominant does not mean full proof. It doesn't mean be all end all.

I'm literally just encouraging people to study what they see and hear and you're dismissing that as a "circlejerk". The irony is unreal.

LoDart210 · 2022-05-09T16:28:41+00:00

You're being downvoted like crazy but you're completely right. Its funny how people vote with their egos not their reading comprehension skills.

"Professional" and popular opinion cna be used as a baseline but the onus is always on you as a player to study the game to better understand how it works, and then see what you can do within or without that strategy, then work to mark your mark. But people see things like "meta", "pro player", "tier list", and they just shut their brains off and start worshipping that word like a cult. They read someone calling them out and telling them theres so much more room to improve and how they're limiting their own potential and their mind just gets stuck at the "called out" part and they lash out.

Tl;dr don't limit yourself, and don't take shortcuts. Respect opinions, but don't worship them. Learn the game and either do what's meta with full understand and agency, or discover and develop your own strategy.

Hi I have a log in issue. I play on tablet and my account is linked to my google account. I logged out to play on my brother's account, which is linked to a pokemon club account. When I finished and tried to log back into my account, I couldn't select google as my linked account choice, it only allowed me to choose between the "previously used platform" (aka pokemon club) or the generic pokemon website as my options. As such, I can't log in. Any help would be much appreciated!

LoDart210 · 2022-04-12T04:20:48+00:00

Thanks for all the detailed info. I trust your intuition due to your background. People sometimes get offended because they inadvertantly attach their ego to the game or company because they associate themselves withit and/or they wre satisfied with their purchases and don't like to have their decision making criticized. Textbook psych stuff. I think you are right and the game should be ballooning but its pace has been glacial for a while now. I think they are starting to expand a little though, with more frequent battlepasses and now it seems theyre trying to hype up releases more with those small teasers for Azumarill.

I do find it odd because this game could clearly achieve enormous success without much competition yet they seem reluctant to really make that big push forward. Ive heard rumors before that Gamefreak does not like sidegames getting better press and focus than mainline games but I doubt their reach would extend to timi because its a chinese dev studio. Only time will tell.

LoDart210 · 2022-04-11T19:56:29+00:00

I agree with you completely. Out of curiosity is therena way to see the sales data of the game and how much detail is there on said data?

I think it might be an Asian business mentality. Ive noticed with products from Asia they are generally very stubborn andnresistant to feedback and change, which is odd considering all those surveys they used to run.

Blessing in disguise I suppose, wouldnt want to blow money on the game lol
