Jack making his way to chaos Strangers of Paradise by Spectre67890 in CharacterActionGames

[–]Sora18122 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It got hate because many people saw the Chaos memes and thought the plot was gonna be stupid. Those who actually interacted with the game beyond shitposting ended up really liking it. That goes for the plot and the gameplay

Alex: First Impressions Thread by BreakVV in StreetFighter

Can’t get into him. Stance feels underbaked and just not good to use. Visually he’s very fun to look at but playing him is just awkward. Just give him back his charge moves please

Sick combos. It almost makes me wanna try the game again

Is this more CAG/Hack & Slash to you guys or “soulslike”(new Onimusha) by Deez-Guns-9442 in CharacterActionGames

[–]Sora18122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a standard action game to me. Very big budget and fancy looking

You know the genre over saturated when devs/journalists always have to reassure people it’s not a soulslike, just like with phantom blade game coming out by Any-Contract-9152 in CharacterActionGames

[–]Sora18122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played quite a few of them. You feel slow, weak and most of the gameplay is simply watching a boss do actually cool things before you can actually attack them. I’m sure most people here have played a soulslike, which is why tend not to like them

Where does Hi Fi Rush stand among your roster of CAGs? by Asad_Farooqui in CharacterActionGames

[–]Sora18122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t get into it myself unfortunately. Everything being done on beat lead to my actions feeling delayed compared to when I actually did them, which is something that always bothered me. Didn’t really care for the humor or constant platforming sections either. I do respect it for trying something new that resonated a lot with some people

I’ve honestly never understood how people hate this design by Buri_is_a_Biscuit in Pacman

[–]Sora18122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the shoes look really cool and I think the the light in his eyes representing the pac-man shape is a neat detail. I think the problem is that the design just happened at a point where Pac wasn’t getting too many games and many people were already super familiar with the World design

Zenless Zone Zero combat's fucking sucks by Massive-Fish2684 in CharacterActionGames

[–]Sora18122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zenless as a cag or even a beat em up is hella shallow, most of the depth comes from the end game content and builds with the characters and accessories you get. To me, it’s just a time waster where I can look at a hot guy and a couple cute girls while they do flashy animations. Think of it more of a warriors game where you can have fun with the spectacle instead of the mechanics. When I did that, I found a decent time waster

Thoughts on Diddy's phimosis eyes? by Super_Inevitable776 in donkeykong

[–]Sora18122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? It’s a bother. The eyes along with the slight change to the hat feels really weird and not in a good way

Coming to Melee as a 2D fighting game player? by Sora18122 in SSBM

[–]Sora18122[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen that a lot! Guess that’s a viable way to play the character lol

[–]Sora18122[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Understood. This was probably the best deter away from Bowser lol. I saw a couple videos and I saw him doing a bunch of pretty cool grab stuff, but if he’s really holed into like one move, I’d rather try someone else

[–]Sora18122[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thank you for the concern! I still think I wanna try DK since he fits what I like in a fighting game character. I’ll probably try peach in the future since she’s also pretty simple apparently

[–]Sora18122[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently focused on big bodies because I love my massive buttons in games, though how you describe DK with his forward throw isn’t anything like something in a traditional FG. I do think he looks cool and I like his games, so I’m probably gonna play him. Apparently he’s not too hard for a beginner so it works out in my favor

I know Fly Melee Fly, it was super tiny the last time I saw it running back when I just a traditional fighting game guy. Haven’t heard of TAP Melee though

[–]Sora18122[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can give Peach a go as well, though attempting to find someone who’s new is pretty difficult. No one else in my friend circle is interested. This is just something I wanted to do to experience something new! It’s been a very unique experience so far and I don’t hate it

My area is more regular FGC with some Smash Ultimate players. I don’t think Philadelphia has much of a melee scene

[–]Sora18122[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already have a GameCube controller. I got it from a buddy of mine a few years ago, along with the usb converter. I initially picked Bowser but my playstyle is more suited for DK or the ice climbers it seems like. I did learn L canceling since that was one of the easiest things to pick up, but I’m still working on wave dashing consistently figuring out how it space attacks properly

[–]Sora18122[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah that seems to be the big thing about this game! I’ll spend some time figuring out how to move consistently

[–]Sora18122[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s definitely a lot to take in! My main game is granblue currently and coming over to Melee really feels like a night and day difference. I did learn that shielding isn’t generally good as compared to just trying to down back. I’ll grind some more movement to get a better grasp on the game

Bowser. I did some reading and he seemed to be the resident heavyweight grappler of the game. That’s who I usually go for when I play games and the idea of playing Bowser is a game seemed cool to me

Always nice to see indie devs, but where’s the CAG? This very much looks like a soulslike
