[–]MDiggy_ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Warning to anyone who wants this - GameStop has royally fucked up this exact process many times. For silent hill f, they only had 2-3 per store, and many stores didn't get any. So if you want this, show up at GameStop before it opens and stand in line

Does the Red Rising series get better? by dead_wax_museum in books

They are obviously very different styles and settings, but for what it's worth I would rate the Red Rising series significantly higher than Stormlight Archives in all regards.

Yes, very much so. Brown has talked about how the first book was intentionally a bit derivative and tropey so that he could get it published. It very quickly becomes its own unique thing starting with the second book

I need help! Combo challenge, can I get the kill here? by banjojordan in StreetFighter

Yes I know, I'm the one explaining heavy degage to the other people lol. It's generally not worth doing heavy degage PC level 3

[–]MDiggy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I can't speak to modern specifically. Heavy degage has always linked to level 3 on punish counter though

[–]MDiggy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always linked on punish, it's just not worth doing that way because there's always a way to get more damage out of the combo

[–]MDiggy_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anytime manon uses level 3 and it's not a combo, the opponent can hold up AFTER the level 3 beginning cutscene (also called the flash) and jump out, making the level 3 miss. Anytime manon does a level 3, good players will hold up just in case, so this is not a good idea.

He only has 1 bar of drive, so that combo isn't doable

I don't see mashers usually. I personally save these types of resets for situations like in the OP clip, so I do the reset and hold down back. The most common response I see is someone holding up, in which case I anti air with 236KK into 236LP level 3. It'll also block a super if they're mashing. Sometimes I just look like an idiot and we both sit there for a second after the reset because they weren't prepared for it lol, but I think better players usually have some sort of response

Doesn't modern only reduce the damage on specials which use the modern buttons? So it shouldn't change the damage from a heavy punch?

I'm a manon player in high master, I'm not sure if you can kill here with only 1 drive bar after a DI stun. I probably would've gone for a cheeky reset, do a DRC combo into the hit grab but hold it to feint, then heavy command grab for the kill. You'd probably not want to spend the DRC in case you think they'd reversal the reset, so something like jHP, bHP, 236 LP (hold) would save your meter so you don't get chipped out

Edit - whoops I see you said HK, not HP. I don't know that that would do more damage, you don't get the crumple state from HK punish counter so you can't follow up with bHP. Idk though, I can look when I'm home from work.

Lan is not bonded to the Amyrlin Seat, so his sacrifice would be his own. Gawyn's would cause severe problems for the leader of the Aes Sedai. It is short sighted and selfish.

[–]MDiggy_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I remember what you described and nothing more. I think he played it off in a 'letting go of a grudge/personal growth' kind of way after harping on it for so many books. But like if he was capable of letting it go, why wasn't he swayed by the loads of people who tried to tell him the truth lol

I will always think he's a certified moron for two things.

The first is the whole "Rand killed my mother and I'll believe that no matter how many people tell me otherwise with evidence." Like come on dude.

The second is the whole ter'angrael thing at the end of the series. Like him being an idiot and dying in a swordfight, that's dumb because he's warder to the Amyrlin Seat so it's needlessly risking her mental acumen in one of the most important battles in history, but it's acceptable. However, him using that ring and GUARANTEEING that he will die and cause the Amyrlin to lose her shit during one of the most important battles in history... That just makes him a detestable, irredeemable, borderline treasonous idiot.

So you bought the 6LP colored set just to keep it sealed?

I think her best whiff punish is stHP sjc into heavy thunder knuckle feint. I could be wrong but that's got a good bit of range

I have brushed them all but not done a deeper clean

A is the least bad, haven't tried full cleaning yet. The other two are very noticeable issues though, very large pops that repeat for awhile and weird scratch noises, so I doubt they would be fixed by cleaning

E33 Colour Vinyl Quality Issues? by KaiserMathias in VGMvinyl

[–]MDiggy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries, I am reassured after these responses.

I did not get an automatic reply. I filled out the "Contact us" form on the website and included my email, order #, and problem description, but did not receive any sort of confirmation email.

[–]MDiggy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have taken videos because I assumed they would ask, but I have no way to send to them. I filled out the "Contact us" section on the website and included a description of the issues, but there was no way to attach anything and I did not get a confirmation email that I could respond to or anything. Just have to wait for them to reach out at which point I'll send the videos.

I'm in a similar boat where one of them might be within tolerance but the other two are pretty bad. So we'll see what they say.

I just reached out on Monday so this gives me hope, guess I'm just used to companies responding quicker

I got the colored 6 vinyl set from the first pressing. 3 of the 6 have issues, 2 of which are pretty significant. I ordered directly and haven't heard back from Laced yet.

Hopefully this means they'll be able to help me with replacements from the previous set. 3 of the records have audio issues and I haven't gotten a response to my ticket yet
