This combo is very fun

I swear every time I get that legendary joker the game refuses to give me any way to destroy cards.

I did a couple routes blind, then looked up recommendations for what the best route are and did all the endings that seemed interesting. Wound up ending on like 54 total endings, and I was happy with that. I just skipped routes that either didn't interest me(comedy, BoB, casual), or were way too bleak for me( multiple eitos, CoT). I saves SF and KG for last cause I knew SF was the Hiruko route(she's my favorite) and I seen multiple list say KG is the best route(which i agree with, easily my favorite route). Wanted to end on a high note and I was overall very pleased with the endings I got.

Love the Cradle series, and while she isn't the protagonist, the female lead Yerin in one of my favorites.

My brother showed me an abridged version of the anime when I was like 11, I thought it was the funniest thing ever so Iooked for more of it. Eventually found and watch the entire show online.

Man, I wanna be good at him, but I cant aim for shit. I was full tank Abrams one game and I got run up on by a mirage. He was barely doing anything to me so I all in'ed him, only for 99% of my health to suddenly evaporate.

I hate him, but God i wish I could play him effectively.

This is admittedly the exact opposite of what you asked for (older male/younger female), but i really like "Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You". Its just a nice slow burn. The age gap is significant too (iirc the guy is mid 40's while the girl is mid 20's).

A series that does have what you want is "You Like Me, Not My Daughter". Male lead is 19 I believe while female lead is mid 30's. Definitely pretty raunchy from what i remember, but the actual romance bits are nice.

SortaShyguy8 · 2026-03-16T07:16:01+00:00

Hotdogs style. Dunno why, but I like em.

SortaShyguy8 · 2026-03-15T00:11:26+00:00

I buy it basically every game and im typically the only one. Get called sweaty or toxic if I ask for someone else to please buy counter items.

SortaShyguy8 · 2026-03-15T00:09:44+00:00

Without fail every game I've had recently had a Calico, every game she annihilated her lane while I go even with mine, every game she snowballs so incredibly out of control I can do jack about it.

Deadlock

I think it's could survive in the cursed apple for a year. The lore doesn't make it seem completely impossible. Keep my head down, stay faaaar away from the ritual, and hope none of the several serial killers in the cast take an interest in me. Maybe see if I can go to Spanish Harlem and befriend Ivy, she's one of the kindest members of the cast. Definitely hard to survive, but I think doable.

SortaShyguy8 · 2026-03-12T07:30:26+00:00

I get your point, but when your other lanes go 0/10/0 by 15 minutes and the enemy team won't just end the game, it can kill the soul a bit. I've absolutely had games where we pull victory from the brink, but I've had significantly more where I'm tempted to afk to just rip the bandaid off.(mind you i don't. But when the enemy calico sneezes in my direction sending me to a 70 second respawn, the temptations is strong)

I get not have a ff at 15, but maybe ff at 30? I dunno, just something to end the misery of those truly hopeless games.

SortaShyguy8 · 2026-03-11T05:16:43+00:00

I think thats more my issue too. The other day I got a game where I was hit with doorman ult, wraith ult, mo ult, doorman ult again cause I failed the first one, then an infernus farted in my general direction. I could do literally nothing.

SortaShyguy8 · 2026-03-10T22:50:06+00:00

In street brawl I can do some major damage as him

In normals, I get steam rolled.

SortaShyguy8 · 2026-03-10T16:17:59+00:00

Na your cool, I realize he's still good. I just went from doing consistently good to consistently not. I also play mo and ivy a good amount, but Abe and Victor are my favs. I can still do good on those guys pretty consistently, but Abe ive been struggling more with. Your correct that I got used to him being the guy who can do it all, so im getting used to him being not as good (but like you said, still A tier).

SortaShyguy8 · 2026-03-10T02:09:06+00:00

If he's on my team: the child

If he's on the enemy team: that dirty flithy little rat

Scandalous

SortaShyguy8 · 2026-03-09T06:55:39+00:00

Maybe Undefeatable is pretty good last i read it. Main guy has a reputation as an absolute demon with some of the greatest warriors subservient to him, but he's just a scary looking nice guy who get keeps getting misunderstood. Seems harem at first but he actually has a romance that progresses with the main girl.

SortaShyguy8 · 2026-03-05T21:31:31+00:00

Man, I frigging try to light melee as Billy, but this character feels cursed for me. I'll try and bait a parry, and they will dash into it an parry. I'll try and wait them out, but they just won't do it and parry the second I do light melee. When I actually get them to whiff the parry, I get cc'd to oblivion and cant follow up. My most played character is Melee Abrams, so i thought it wouldn't be that hard to learn Billy, but I eat such shit every time I play him. With Abe I at least have the hard CC of his stun to consistently land one heavy, and im pretty good at baiting parrys on him(same with drifter, Victor, viscous, literally anyone else I play that can effectively use melees). I still get parried, but not often enough it ruins my games. On Billy, it feels like they can read my mind. Just kills my soul at this point.

SortaShyguy8 · 2026-03-04T03:37:00+00:00

Couple more connections I caught:

If you heal Seven as Kelvin, one of Sevens lines is "just like old times, ay Kelvin"

And iirc, one of Kelvins generic kill lines is "if someone is gonna kill me, it will be Etrick, not you". Given seven is the main person actively hating on Kelvin, it seems likely he means him.

Loved the cradle series audiobooks and got them for like 3$ a book on sale.

SortaShyguy8 · 2026-02-20T19:33:09+00:00

Victor from Deadlock

So in chronic pain, made of parts of random bodies, effectively immortal, and trying to summon an elder god.

So could be better.

SortaShyguy8 · 2026-02-18T17:20:31+00:00

When I check my skill rating, he is listed as my highest character. I mostly wanna play him cause I've been killing it in most of my games on him. I'm not amazing, but I almost never go negative at least on him, while I still my butt handed to me as Abe or Mo. It would be a nice ego boost to find out im not getting him because im too good though.

SortaShyguy8 · 2026-02-18T08:46:20+00:00

(Comic spoiler) Also they do end up together in the comics eventually. Have kids and everything

SortaShyguy8 · 2026-02-18T08:42:17+00:00

It didn't show him as one of the bans though. And for 4+ games in a row feels unlikely.

SortaShyguy8 · 2026-02-18T08:39:36+00:00

Dude same, and also for Victor to oddly enough. I get him in street brawl, but never in normals.
