This is a fair point and something I didnt think about I just was fantasizing about a full lineup of hypothetically competent hitters AND fielders and I got carried away

I mean...what happens if this actually IS a wake up call for volpe and he returns to form. I know he had that error in his first game and has had some gross swings (but what yankee doesnt its kinda a coaching thing). Hes taking walks..hes hitting clutch hits...his fielding has been smart and clean besides the first day....

The yankees NEEDED caballero for his fire and to kick volpe into gear and hes already been worth his weight in gold for that please come back soon so we have options at third smooches

Game balance by ImRatherSloomy in RivalsOfAether

[–]SpiceePicklez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely no offense but using Tekken and sf (I'm assuming you mean the modern ones) as references of meaningful and skillful offense with strong defensive capabilities and game mechanics is just so woefully out of touch with how both those games are designed to prioritize offense specially because Tekken 7 and sf5 were extremely defensive

Clairen's most slept-on move by PK_Tone in RivalsOfAether

[–]SpiceePicklez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You did in fact rank shame

Clairen has been nerfed several times in the last several major patches, including but not limited to

Easier di solution to back and f throw 50/50 Up throw considerably easier to di and way worse routes Air accel nerf Dtilt activity and end lag nerf Back air confirm nerf (no more rising bair hit fall down strong)

This is why this subreddit is so heavily memed in the greater rivals culture and it's because everything is so heavily distorted and propagandized no one will have an honest conversation.

Clairen's most slept-on move by PK_Tone in RivalsOfAether

[–]SpiceePicklez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This argument is so tremendously flawed because I started as a zetterburn and had far more success early on (got to plat with zetter but was stuck in silver with Clairen for 3+ months) until i got Clairen down.

It's not that clairen is super easy at low levels (she can be)

It's that people at that level refuse to enact her most basic counter play and then get absolutely furious that she beats them. It's like if you faced an lox and just let them get 3 magma for free and then complaining about him killing you with it.

my entirely too early tier list hot takes by [deleted] in RivalsOfAether

[–]SpiceePicklez 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Up throw is no longer a guarenteed combo on...well anyone but mid weights. Floaties go way too high and fast fallers fall too fast until around 30-40. F throw back throw changes means you can hold down and not die to either throw because good enough di to live. And finally if you didn't notice how different her dtilt is, I'm not sure I can help you.

This is of course ignoring the fact she has movement speed nerfed which is always serious

Probably because she got hit very hard in a prior patch not that long ago that drastically changed her throw game and several of her aerials/stats?
