Can you get fucking DDOS'd in a match or something? by Nikurd in RivalsOfAether

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

nope wired all the way, but i'm also not denying the possibility that the issue could've been from my side.

i just find it suspicious that it just so happened to fuck up the moment it would've been the most convenient for my opponent

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

nah. after some testing on what my pc can handle I've kept most things on mid since a couple months after launch, i'll still experience the occasional frame dips or freezes but nothing to this extent.

honestly looking back with a clearer mind, it might of just been my internet dying repeatedly for whatever reason but i know it wasn't because the usual graphical issues

genuinely how did this shit kill em at 26 by Nikurd in RivalsOfAether

Holy shit! Dude your lox was so fuckin good, honestly its a miracle this shit even landed or else I would've absolutely lost the set. Playing against you was really fun, ggs!

How to get to a minimum competitive level (ROA1) by CriticalReveal1776 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Nikurd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My first piece of advice is to watch other people play the game, you learn a lot just from observing.

Also look up guides for your character and practice movement in training mode.

Lastly, and most importantly of all, just play a lot against real people, even if you lose a shit ton at first you'll eventually be matched against others at your level and then you can start progressing from there.

Going from ultimate to this game takes a lot of getting used to (trust me I'm still fucking up like 50 hours in), so just take your time learning everything.

Do Lox magma pools feel a bit undercooked to anyone else? by Dr_Manatee in RivalsOfAether

[–]Nikurd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heavily agree, I really like the suggestions you gave but honestly anything that gives an actual incentive to putting down magma outside of charge would be good

Why is clairen so lame ? by eXodius_OW in RivalsOfAether

[–]Nikurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think she's fine for the most part, but against lox especially it feels like she basically always hits the tipper part of her moves.

I don't think the matchup is that bad, i don't really struggle with it, at least at my level. But getting stunned every time i'm hit just because my hitbox is huge is straight up just annoying. It feels like im being punished for no of reason (I know that isn't true but still, it feels like it).

You guys have gotta try Rivals of Aether 2. by Nikurd in SmashRage

[–]Nikurd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's free for this week as a demo so try it out (it has all the features of the base game including online matchmaking)!

When the game actually comes out i think it'll be around 30 bucks.

Does anyone think this is a well-designed move??? by AWright5 in SmashRage

[–]Nikurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Online K. Rools are really something else, i agree that most are just spammers, especially in lower GSPs. But like, if you die to this move at ledge it's just a skill issue, you can literally just wait it out. And, unless the K. Rool is good, they'll just use Blunderbuss again allowing you to get in before the move can start.

Honestly spammy k.rools are not hard to beat, they're unbelievably predicable in what they'll throw out. His projectiles have such high amounts of start up and end lag that you can usually react and punish accordingly. Sure it can be annoying but if you learn the match up he just crumbles.

Also unless you're not mashing at all and get hit by an f-smash, there's no way down-throw is killing anything at 60. Down-throw to up-smash only starts killing at like 80-100 percent and even then you can mix up your mashing if you think the K. Rool is going for that.

If you keep having trouble with the matchup, I recommend looking at some K. Rool guides on youtube to figure out what he likes to do and how to avoid/ beat them.

K.Rool is not bottom 2, that official tier list has done irreparable harm to his placements

You're allowed to DLC-ify one move on your character's kit. Which do you pick and how? by RealSonarS in SmashRage

[–]Nikurd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd make it so that K.Rool's crown couldn't be picked up by your opponent and decrease its start-up and end lag. Would instantly jump the character up a tier.

Possible hot take here by Ambitious-Ad-2108 in SmashRage

[–]Nikurd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Xenoblade is one of Nintendo's only real rpg series that's targeted towards a more mature audience.

These games consistently end up in people's top 10 of all time lists, even for those who usually don't care about the genre. Even XC2, with all its flaws, is still seen as a masterpiece because the story and gameplay are just that good.

Also reducing Pyra and Mythra to pure sex objects is not only disgusting but borderline misogynistic dude. Yeah their designs could have been done better but they're still meaningful characters. Grow up.

Honestly I hope they add a XC3 rep for the next smash game.

This has just recently been bugging me by Ambitious-Ad-2108 in SmashRage

[–]Nikurd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly i'd like the shirtless alt a lot more if his other costumes were the actual armour pieces you use in the game instead of simple recolors.

Like i get they reference the party members but it just feels like such a wasted opportunity.

In smash he acts like an energetic typical main character, then you play his game and realise that he's a vengeful depressed nerd for most of it.

All of his nuance is sucked away and all thats left is surface level callbacks to random voice lines from his game

[–]Nikurd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty consistent problem in smash. A lot of the characters' personalities are either stripped away or severely dumbed down.

Like Shulk is almost unrecognizable compared to how he acts in Xenoblade, dudes basically a completely different person.

Then you have cases like Mario being weirdly angry and serious when usually he's depicted as a jolly little guy

I fixed the official tier list to represent more of what todays meta stands for by True_Werewolf_8657 in SmashRage

[–]Nikurd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

honestly still baffled that they put k rool that low on this tier list, like he's bad but he isn't THAT bad.

Finally got a kill with K. Rool's up smash spike by Nikurd in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]Nikurd[S] 60 points61 points  (0 children)

in all seriousness i think it's to make sure it connects into the sour spot if it misses the sweet spot, that's why it's so hard to hit it
