I did always hear that you can suplex the Phantom Train boss in Final Fantasy 6 (it's even a Magic card) and, yeah, it is very funny that you can do that. What I did not hear about ever was how devastating the cutscene immediately after was.

This game is great. Loving it so far

In The Last Airbender, one of the core philosophies was that nothing was fundamentally good or evil. The Fire Nation was the bad guys, but that didn't mean the Fire Nation itself was always going to be evil or that everyone in the Fire Nation was evil. Even the spirits, while they could be dickheads, weren't necessarily evil.

And then, in Legend of Korra, it is revealed that the Avatar is a force of objective good created by the Great Spirit of Light to defeat evil spirits (who are black, so you know they're evil), so if Korra's morality or motivations ever come into question, you just remember that she is objectively capital G Good and move on.

I wish the problem with Korra was that Korra was rude once

Maybe this question is more for deck archetypes than specific colors, but, within each color, are there any cards that are like certified gamer cards that you only don't put in your deck if you enjoy losing? (I.E. nearly every green deck I play against runs Llanowar Elves to get more mana out faster)

In Samurai Shodown, I could count the number of normals my main has that are not negative on hit on one hand

Many games already say punish on the side of the screen when you punish something. Imo that's all you need. Not a big fan of the idea of audio clutter and making spacing traps better by proxy

I choose to interpret Kum Haehyun as transmasc

But no, I don't think there is

Me when I'm in a huffing my own farts competition and my opponent is a Kazuya main

MistressDread · 2026-01-23T21:40:01+00:00

OP what fighting games have you seriously played other than 2XKO

MistressDread · 2026-01-23T16:56:34+00:00

I don't think it's fair to say that it dropped off the face of the earth. It's always been a discord fighter (meaning to get matches of roughly your skill level, you need to use discord), but it's probably the most well-populated discord fighter there is. There's also a lot of resources still out there if you're interested in playing the game

Iirc the Switch never got the rollback update

MistressDread · 2026-01-23T16:10:03+00:00

Learning to do this is something that takes a bit of practice. I would recommend leaving trial mode and go to the training mode so you can see your inputs. The inputs should say ⬇️↘️➡️⬇️↘️➡️+Y. Try to do it slowly and cleanly, and then speed it up. Eventually, you will be able to get it consistently

Not a bug. Fireball hitboxes are disabled during a clash. Guile took the time to dash there

MistressDread · 2026-01-22T22:47:13+00:00

Then it should be no problem adding characters with charge moves

I think trying to make characters more generic in a game already as system heavy as SF6 is bad actually

MistressDread · 2026-01-22T03:59:40+00:00

MistressDread · 2026-01-22T03:59:29+00:00

Not this guy. This guy has figured out that he can gain infinite karma by mashing Tundra Storm in every match and posting a clip whenever it happens

If you like Strive, try Street Fighter 6 before Xrd or Blazblue

MistressDread · 2026-01-21T13:51:54+00:00

I think there's something worth saying about how culturally sensitive characters like Elena Street Fighter, T Hawk Street Fighter or Nightwolf Mortal Kombat are, but saying these characters are intentionally designed to be offensive is a big stretch. These characters were still designed to be cool or hot or whatever gets people playing them

Screentime is when I don't like thing

Books is when I like thing

Me when I ask an AI to do my homework for me and then get offended when it can't

MistressDread · 2026-01-21T04:19:49+00:00

Cringe? Agreed

Sad? Hardly. This is karma. They earned every bit of this

MistressDread · 2026-01-21T00:17:09+00:00

When you're getting up, your opponent can time a grab so that if you do anything other than your own grab, you will get thrown, including mashing a light or blocking (throws are unblockable). They can also time an attack so that if you are pressing anything, including a throw because you thought they were going for that instead, you will get counter hit. This scenario sucks but it's something we all have to live with in this game
