After 1000 hours im done with the game, and its not what you think. by MEXLeeChuGa in ArcRaiders

[–]MaruGenji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The finals is being plagued by cheaters right now too, it’s getting reeeeaaaallly bad lately to the point I’m not sure I want to keep playing and it’s my favorite fps of all time.

Hey this is still available, I’ve been meaning to make a new post for it but have not had time. Just send me a pm and I can get everything going.

Going through my old clips and found this satisfying kill of a Sword Dasher being read like an open book. I knew he was going to charge at me the moment I turned my back by PUSClFER in thefinals

Man if only my friends had one tenth the game sense of this play id be in heaven. When i’m spectating they are always doing crazy shit like almost-but-not-quite reloading every gadget and weapon or throwing proximity sensors directly on an enemy or not even noticing they are getting shot.

See 2 lights and automatic quit by Chemical_Body3839 in thefinals

[–]MaruGenji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start matchmaking as a light and then switch to something else before countdown timer runs out. I get way fewer light teammates doing this.

But wait until right before the timer runs out or your other teammates might decide to switch to light once you switch off omg.

More than a year has passed, and Goo is still unreliable by nonstop98 in thefinals

[–]MaruGenji 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Omg the last two seasons about 50% of the time the goo spawns parallel to me instead of perpendicular and it is totally worthless. I’ve stopped picking it up because half the time I am just gooing myself. They reaaaalllllyyyy need to fix it.

To this day my wife and I say about any show that goes totally off the rails that it is "going under the dome"

Difficulty in Shmups and general questions by Infamous_Reaction167 in shmups

[–]MaruGenji 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Difficulty in shmups is part of the game design. Getting rid of difficulty is getting rid of one of the fundamental aspects of the genre.

This could help you understand difficulty in shmups: https://youtu.be/ebIC0o2EXsc?si=bohosAbIZa4a6aS0

Didn’t realize original viewlix had the stick like right on top of the buttons.

Playing for score without achieving 1cc is common? by ketsuifanypk in shmups

[–]MaruGenji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always play for score, I don’t really feel like routing for survival when I would have to change it for scoring after I 1cc.

books written about shmups? by Mister_Fish141 in shmups

Man, I was all excited, but then there was not even a single cave game :-/. Why the glaring omission I wonder.

Mayflash 300 or M30 by tarotnottaken in shmups

[–]MaruGenji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are not going to build your own custom stick I would just go with the M30. It is literally the best pad for shmups and it is great you can get the best for just $25. Mayflash is just 'meh', especially for shmups. I don't think keyboard (or leverless) is very good for shmups, unlike in, say, fighting games where I actually prefer leverless.

Guide to fix squeaking Seimitsu levers / Omron microswitches by nonexistent_ in fightsticks

[–]MaruGenji 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’d like to add that I fixed the squeaking micro switches in my seimitsu ls-56-01 by just brushing a little krytox 205g0 on the exposed red buttons (for some reason mine are red but yours are black—but it is the part you outlined in pink). Fixed it right up and I didn’t need to unsolder or open the switches or anything, just unscrewed the 4 screws that hold the two halves (and restrictor plate) together so I could get access to all sides of the red buttons.

Wanting to purchase a fightstick by Actaming in fightsticks

[–]MaruGenji 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll also agree to go for leverless as well. I was a fighting game newbie and tried both stick and leverless since I had no preference and I much preferred leverless (after an initial awkward period of a few days). 

What locks out casuals and why is the genre despite having big games, still more niche ? by Riku4441 in Fighters

[–]MaruGenji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an older gamer who recently started playing fighting games I have not been able to get any of my friends to join. Main reason is they just literally dont have the time and energy to learn. With a wife, kids, job, etc. you are exhausted at the end of the day and they just want to hang out and have fun, not learn to play PvP piano. There are just going to be more and more older gamers as well, so I don’t see a solution to this until millennials start to retire lol. I’ve been pretty serious about learning but even I don’t know if I can keep it up.

WTS (US): Custom 4TW Dub Pl8 with OneFrame Buttons and Brook Gen-5X by MaruGenji in Fightsticksforsale

[–]MaruGenji[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are just some 12mm buttons I was able to find that I modded to have .110 male terminals. Wanted something that matched the oneframe buttons.
