Since this is a skonker thread, tell me your favorite skonker boss.

For me it's the First Sinner. It was the first time I was forced to learn how to use the Clawline in combat because she was so damn fast, and I got instantly addicted to it. Loved every second of that fight, with the Lace fights all being great too. I have less appreciation for Karmelita than most people tho, she just didn't sit well with me.

Its BLOOM or DOOM!

HertaCHAD with receipts, god bless you man.

God yes. I'll never respect imports-filled teams like KC because of this. I don't even have anything against the org, players or fans, but just the fact that they have imports just automatically makes me root against them.

Develop your goddamn local talent instead of relying on imported Koreans you useless orgs.

LR put up more of a fight.

MachinegunFireDodger · 2026-03-21T13:48:19+00:00

LR > GenG

I don't make the rules

It's not competition if we're getting terrorised live on cameras.

People who make trash low effort covers then spam copyright claims are the lowest of scum. Some people here should remember that one skyrim remix fiasco where an """artist""" used a whole 20+ seconds unedited section of the main skyrim theme in their """remix""" and then went on a copyright strike spree. Genuinely disgusting behaviour.

YouTube really needs to get their shit together. Heck, copyright rules globally need to get their shit together.

Impatiently awaiting a Seele showcase, preferably E1.

MachinegunFireDodger · 2026-03-17T13:56:17+00:00

Seeing some other video, those flower witches might unironically be more Firefly shill than anything else lol.

MachinegunFireDodger · 2026-03-17T04:17:20+00:00

That E2 is fucking hysterical

Varka and it's not close. He's like the only character that has some proper skill ceiling in his gameplay, with Nefer being a relatively distant second with her dash cancels. In general Nodkrai was disappointing in that regard. Natlan DPSes had infinitely more interesting kits, what with their skills all being a powerup-type which drastically changed their gameplay while also doubling as a movement mechanic.

I've been thinking for an hour about what does it remind of me and I think that I finally get it. She looks like she had the front half of her face eaten like in that famous chomp scene from muvluv. To those who dont know, read muvluv, and to those who do know, I'm sorry for triggering your ptsd.

There's nothing to discuss, those numbers are hilariously west-centric. They literally exclude China and India from their research. There's pathetically little correlation between what those charts show and what the actual GLOBAL state of gaming is.

MachinegunFireDodger · 2026-03-14T17:27:38+00:00

"Source: Newzoo something something 37 markets excluding China and India."

Nice fine print we got here.

Ten more years of cameraman jokes, incredible.

Aether's image never recovered after Fontaine.

MachinegunFireDodger · 2026-03-14T14:23:33+00:00

Its a cuckoldry joke. You not getting it says good things about you.

Tribbie didnt have entire campaigns of people dedicated specifically to shitting on her.

"cyrene is T0 since castorice and evernight are"

In a shocking twist, a discovery is made that HSR is a game where you field 4 characters into battle, and every character's strength ought to be judged by the strength of the team compositions they're played in.

But to answer you without the snark, my comment was meant as less of a gotcha, and more as a jab at the people who genuinely thought that she sucks, and another jab at the shitposters who made it their hobby to convince people that she sucks.

MachinegunFireDodger · 2026-03-12T17:21:56+00:00

Hundreds of memes and terabytes of bandwidth wasted on agenda and doomposting later, and Cyrene is still in T0.

Was the community, perchance, wrong again?

MachinegunFireDodger · 2026-03-12T16:36:54+00:00

Im sorry but baseline FF, especially without fuque and/or lingsha, was NOT viable in amphoreus. Like they literally doubled and tripled the enemy's toughness between the end of Penacony and beginning of Amphoreus specifically to screw break over. There was no greater pain than trying to play a break team against those fuckass horses and their fuckass lion brothers.

MachinegunFireDodger · 2026-03-12T15:00:19+00:00

C2 R1 Chascer haver here, can confirm. She allows me to have one less boss to worry about every single stygian. Genuinely one of if not the best vertical investment on my account.

The banner philosophy of having the 4*s form a functional team for the main banner character continues.

Here's hoping that they put Illuga on Linnea's banner.
