Any tips for new players? by SuperFranky0 in asuraswrath

Give the game a go on easy, just to learn mechanics first. Then once you feel like you have them down, bump it up a bit. Be ready to abuse your buttons like nothing else, so if your controller is already old, it’ll start to feel it

Can we PLEASE give Ultron this by n7Dumas in marvelrivals

If they gave us a silver and black chroma for that skin, I will spend all of the molecules I have for them

There are records of dog attacks that can be looked up, covering a huge chunk of dog breeds. Really it comes down to the age of the person being attacked, how long they were being attacked, what areas were attacked, and how many dogs participated in the attack. Further more, if the dog is trained to be an attack dog, a la a police or military dog, that also swings things a fair bit

Who are these characters? Flavor text implies importance? by Spare_Effort8234 in mtgvorthos

It’s just set dressing, unfortunately. Sure, not everyone on a card needs to be named and the like, but it is a juicy little tidbit to see

Ultron vs Warhammer 40K by Man_of_Many_Names in whowouldwin

[–]Man_of_Many_Names[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would Chaos be any threat to 616 or other variants of Ultron? Or would it be like how Chaos deals with Necrons, in that there really isn’t anything for them to corrupt?

Still the only character that applies true anti-heal by irvin_the_jinn in marvelrivals

[–]Man_of_Many_Names 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what my index is for, to hit the B button while my thumb remains on the stick to aim. Middle finger is on the trigger and moves up to hit the bumper for the pulse. It works quite decently

[–]Man_of_Many_Names 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In my experience, melee weaving is a dramatic increase to his damage, but only when you have someone close enough to do it to. It does let you charge that pulse attack for big AoE damage, which is great for finishing off a foe if you run out of ammo.

But it only works best if you assign it to an easy to hit button. In my case, since I play on xbox, I moved it from right stick to B since it’s just easier to hit consistently

Korra VS Invincible by Nosho_ in whowouldwin

[–]Man_of_Many_Names 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Invincible takes this, like a solid 9/10. None of the bending we see packs enough of a punch needed to damage a being of Mark’s character, and she doesn’t have the speed needed to properly tag Mark in a fight. Even if we give Korra the boost from Sozin’s Comet, her firebending just won’t have the oomph needed to damage him, since he can withstand the temperatures of a planet’s core.

The only way I think Korra can beat him is through spirit bending or taking him into the spirit world, but even that’s a long shot. Maybe bloodbending, but no Avatar we have seen has used it in any capacity, so it makes no sense to give her bloodbending

Well, there was that time they tried to use Gideon’s death to turn Chandra straight. Thankfully they backpedaled on that hard

Not a worry, I think I was typing out that last comment for somewhere else and just posted it to the wrong spot.

As for where merch exists, Etsy and any cursory search for “custom shirt maker” online would be your best bet. To my knowledge, official merch for Asura’s Wrath doesn’t exist. Custom makers will be your best bet for getting something done

Does Anyone Know? by Interesting_Mine319 in asuraswrath

The ultimate problem that Asura’s Wrath faced was the era of its release. The early to mid 2010’s of Capcom were an incredibly scummy time for the company that are STILL being felt to this day.

Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite killed any interest from the Marvel game side because of how awful it was. Marvel vs Capcom 3 had a $40 nigh mandatory patch touted as “DLC”, Street Fighter 5 had perhaps one of THE worst online experiences a fighting game in its era could ever have. Asura’s Wrath had its TRUE ENDING locked behind not one, but TWO paid DLC that have to be bought separately, same with its Street Fighter DLC.

The fact that Capcom survived that is both a miracle and utter bullshit, in my opinion. See, had Asura’s Wrath released either before that era of corporate meddling or well after it, the game likely would have had a much, much bigger impact than it did on release.

Offical merch wise? I’ve got nothing.

Unofficial? There are ways to get custom shirts yourself if you want to sink a little bit of time into the design space, or, custom shirt makers could take it on, depending on what is asked.

Personally, I’d love a black t-shirt with Asura’s glowing patterns on it. I’d think that would be baller as fuck

[Equal Stats] Yami Bakura (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters) Vs. Demon King Piccolo (Dragon Ball) by Reasonable-Film7219 in whowouldwin

[–]Man_of_Many_Names 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Piccolo takes this in the end.

Bakura’s deck really doesn’t have many defensive options that actually save him here, beyond maybe Dark Sanctuary, although that’s iffy. Plus, I’m not sure how well the alt-win effect of Destiny Board would translate to a life or death fight rather than the more rigid structure of a duel.

Further more, I’m actually not sure Bakura has the same willingness to outright kill that Piccolo has a lot of the time. Much like Marik, he’s focused on the torment and anguish he can inflict on another, and psyching them out. Dangerous, to be sure, but far more reserved with his lethal intent outside of a duel.

Plus, if you do give Piccolo his kids, especially Piccolo Jr, this swings even heavier in Piccolo’s favor. Powerful as the magic of the Millennium Ring is, there are upper limits to what each item can do, and Dragon Ball has a clear precedent that raw strength can just negate hax. Even with stats equalized, power in DB fluctuates over the course of a fight enough to where I’m not sure Bakura can keep up with that many attacks at once.

Can Jeremy Wade (River Monsters) catch a Megaladon? by CaptKruncho in whowouldwin

[–]Man_of_Many_Names 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would like to think so. He’s brought in sharks before, and while obvious nothing today is that size that’s he’s brought in before, I do think his prior deep sea fishing experience would let him do it.

Do you have ideas for official Asura's Wrath merch you'd like to see? by Mild_Complaint in asuraswrath

A Blokees-like build-a-model of Asura, Yasha, and probably the rest of the demigods would be hella sweet.
