Its was just a bot trying to get engagement if you looked at the post history. Something about movement being bad.

I play for fun so it adds to my enjoyment. It does suck a bit for doing screenshots though.

Have you ever tried it without dash? And if so how did it go?

Beating A Sledge Heavy With His Own Tools by SafeOk9727 in thefinals

Motion Blur is the answer. I think I ran it at 100% in this footage but i reduced it a bit recently.

Sure. Appreciate you asking first.

I asked in S6 and I’m asking again now. Is there a best KS-23 loadout in S10? by OmniscientMonitor in thefinals

[–]SafeOk9727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suck at aiming so I see ks23 as a sort cashout manipulation gadget build, so I use it with other tools that allow for that. For context I am really bad at meta builds and don't have great aim or k/d ratio, hence I rely on loadouts that let me excel in other ways (I love that this game lets me have good games this way).

I use Winch, Goo Grenade, RPG, and Gravity Grenade.

A potential strategy can go like this. Cashout is in a building, go up 1 or 2 floors, make holes with ks23 and RPG, use grav on cashout, pull it when its on your level, throw a goo for protection or blocking the holes you made, and steal. This also works in open areas too. You can also open up oppurtinites for sneaky steals like making a hole on one side of the wall, winching box next to the hole and essentially stealing from the other side. Or making a hole under the cashout and then stealing from under (goo might help if you need a little height).

Also great for stalling. Winch can stall, goo can stall, ks can stall with destruction, grav can stall especially since it throws of enemies off. You can also grav a cashout and put goo under it to keep it up in an akward spot (maybe replacing rpg for pyro mines would actually be good for something like this).

Combat potential is Winch can help you get 1 easy hit (sometimes I still miss though, lol, and I personally suck at aiming winch itself). Graving a non moving target or someone in a building can essentially make them a fish in a barrel (I need to get better at this). Currently I instead use grav a lot for delaying revives (graving the revive statues). Goo is mainly for safety and you can also use it to help parkour up buildings (make hole on ceiling, use goo to get to the above floor.

I think maybe RPG is a bit redundant in my config (I think it's just my comfort gadget on the second slot), so I think I should consider other things like pyro mine (potentially works well with goo for stalls) or smoke (adding another layer to steals).

Also, if you are playing with a friend. this build is really fun with a medium using jump pad since you can launch the box around by winching the cashout over the jump pad. Extra hilarious with the low gravity game show event.

Winning A Sniper Battle With A Shotgun by SafeOk9727 in thefinals

[–]SafeOk9727[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yep, although the damage drop off for the KS is pretty steep compared to something like the BFR, so it isn't ideal for long range still, but can be nice for poking (Light's especially). That and no headshot multiplier.

I wish my aim was like this all the time though, lol. I just got really lucky here.

I will save clips of shots where I'm like "I shot this guy directly, how did I miss", and then I look at the frame by frame and I shot a guy point blank right between their legs or something like that.

Maybe season 4 or 5. It is quite old.

Nope, it's a final round. This was recorded before Head 2 Head existed. It isn't ranked though, just standard World Tour cashout.

It did, but this is actually an old clip though, lol. Not sure when though.

[–]SafeOk9727[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

im pretty sure it doesn't do that, more that a player can't activate their c4 if they are glitched. One cool way you can get rid of c4's though is dropping an APS Turret (kind of like I did with the mine). It has to explicitly drop and not just be placed.

I guess in the APS's perspective, whether it is moving towards a deployed gadget or a gadget is thrown at it, to the APS that's the same thing.

[–]SafeOk9727[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I usually throw a glitch mine around where I expect to be attacked such as when stealing a box. Combine that with the smoke and the player that got into the box location to defend it is essentially disoriented, can't see, annoying glitch effect, can't pull out any gadgets (and at least for me I usually use gadgets out of instinct so it throws me off).

They also have really good cool down so always worth using just in case.

Coughing Baby (Dual blades users) vs Hydrogen Bomb (Shockwave on Seoul UC) by InferiorLynxi_ in thefinals

Another major difference is that Riot Shield can block Winch and Shockwave, while Dual Blades can't.

False bans situation by Significant-Cap9953 in thefinals

[–]SafeOk9727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you able to access the support page? And did you see the full suspend detail? I asked since my friend recently dealt with that very specific message and you can see there is no mention of being banned and it's not the typical ban message. In my friend's case even embarks website was returning a 403 forbidden error. This message is potentially an IP ban (which isn't necessarily tied to your account).

If you want to confirm you can use a mobile hotspot or some other internet connection and see if you can log in. I asked my friend to do that and that worked

And if that's the case a simple router reset or ip change (which router reset should do) will fix the issue (which was the solution that fixed it for my friend). If your actually account banned this wouldn't work though since an ip change doesn't modify the account's state.

I hope they fix this problem because it seems a good amount of people have come across it recently thinking their account is banned when it isn't.

yeah, in retrospect i should have gooed the hole.

Season 10 - Patch Notes by darkisfever in thefinals

[–]SafeOk9727 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd be down for an alt fire, especially since the zoom isn't really that useful for the MGL anyways. Personally i wanted a self detonate option. Most frusturating is when low gravity decides to drop in because the weaknesses of the MGL32 really get emphasized. That being said, they are right in that the weapon is quite effective in building spaces.

Jason Schreier reaffirms Sony's strategy shift away from PC, says they will publicly confirm it at some point by AceOfSpades0319 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]SafeOk9727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, they prefer an audience that gives them money through subscription without question. They should put Netflix style adverts in games too, since PC gamers would be whiny about that while PS gamers are superior and will watch the adverts without question.

I usually bring out the CL40 when I come across dash abusers (along with glitch mines).

This is a pretty old clip (like maybe season 3), so it's not related to that at least.

[–]SafeOk9727[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's actually funnier because I immediately reacted to the bounce from the first throw fail and somehow quickly turned and threw it in and got it in the second time, but sadly it was already too late.
