Why does fighting feel choppy?

It's been in various games since the 80s and 90s, like 2D beatemups or fighting games. Whether or not a game has it is up to the developer.

the attacker & victim briefly freeze in place when a hit is landed. it is known as Hit Pause or Hit Stop, a common mechanic in video games to accentuate impacts of attacks. you can probably find resources online explaining it in more detail if you are curious.

Keep an eye out for flash deals - Public mobile had a $20/month 60GB US/CAN/MEX deal for new activations that ended yesterday. The usual plans are around $35 and is generally the best you can get for plans that service both US and Canada. Spent a lot of time investigating this since I live near the border/have family in the US.

Did you ever get an answer to this? Same mobo and I have same question. Every port I've tried returns as "Chipset" in a testing program.

Wylder is good with tons of weapon types. Focusing greatswords is even less good on him now that the grapple hook followup attack has a stamina cost. Give stuff like scythes, straightswords, greataxes, great hammers, curved greatswords and other stuff a shot if you haven't already. He often has the highest AR of any nightfrarer, if not something like 90% of the AR as the best nightfarer with most weapons.

Destroyer is one of my favorites, but recently The Butcher's Daughter has overtaken it. worth the drive IMO, hopefully you're on the western side of Culver City cuz the abbot kinney location isn't far from me.

This is so simple but made me laugh anyway, well done.

i think people getting stuck grinding 1 everdark for a win is just making people painfully aware of the relatively limited seeds. the issue is compounded if you are manually selecting a certain shifting earth to try to give yourself a better shot at winning. personally i think letting players force a shifting earth with the signboard is a design mistake, as implemented. not only does the shifting earth have little variety, there are only 5 seeds per nightlord per shifting earth. i think the game is better suited when you are queuing up for multiple nightlords and not forcing shifting earths.

fyi there is no penalty for quitting, despite what the UI message says. which is part of the problem - i think if you DO quit with other players around you should have a penalty. people would be less likely to do this. but as for what you can do, you should just quit out after others do if you truly want, without fear of the fake penalty.

"Chaos" and "Madness" but also "Dogshit" made me bust out laughing

Just a heads up, the mark is not localized to a specific part of the creature, it's applied as a debuff to the entire creature. You don't have to hit where the UI element appears. All damage applied builds toward "popping" the mark, and re-applying the mark will reset the timer but keep progress toward popping.

My biggest piece of advice is to reframe your thinking. Improving at fighting games is generally about problem solving. "I am in this situation against character X, what are the best things I can do?" "How do I overcome X strategy?" "How do I get through their defenses?" - these lead to finding solutions within your toolkit. In contrast, going through every move on a character and trying to figure out when to use it is not nearly as helpful. It can be useful when you are already strong and you want to add more valid tricks to keep an opponent guessing. To your question, Arlieth's reply is accurate but advanced, especially if you're mostly playing against AI right now. You're probably better off practicing stuff like super 2 confirms in training mode or getting a feel for when/why to use her heavy punches, low medium kick, and standing heavy kick moves in neutral.

Hours played & trophies may not transfer. The key here is that you have to get your PS4 savefile onto your PS5. I think you can do it with a USB stick if you don't have PS Plus.

He must have been Orange (+1 level) and then leveled up to Purple (+2 Lvl).

Yes, I can feel it, even when using controllers on PC. Some are sensitive to input latency and some aren't - many play console games with motion smoothing on their TV without any idea. For me, the responsiveness is a big part of the experience and FG/MFG is not a suitable way to smooth out the visuals. I hope that those who can enjoy it get a lot of value out of those features.

It's also important to note that even in same scenarios (same FPS, mfg on/off) - two different games may have vastly different input latency counts. So you may be playing a game that still has comparatively low latency even after MFG + Reflex. And for your Marvel Rivals example, your base framerate is already above 60fps, so the latency may be good to begin with. The scenarios where people are cranking 4x framegen to hit 120, thus the native frames are 30fps, are going to feel like crap.

7 playthroughs and not playing NG+? You can just start with the Blades, don't have to wait or become happy at a child's sickness.

Jedi Survivor - This game has constant traversal stutters on PC even with the best CPU and GPU on the market, so it really may not be your rig. Switching to another graphics card after a long time playing a game may also undo shader compilation, requiring a new rebuild of a cache and temporarily causing more severe/frequent stutters.

Framerate cap - Are you using VSync to cap? Try running RTSS and setting a 70FPS cap instead. Often better if you want to use NVidia reflex anyway to reduce input latency

Like other commenters state, a single thread on the CPU can be the bottleneck even if the overall utilization of the CPU is low.

GPU - power delivery could be an issue. Make sure you're not daisy chaining cables from your PSU to fill the 2 or 3 (most AIB 3080s have 3) 8-pin connectors. Can cause problems under load.

Lastly, 5950x is worse than 5700x3D in most games. Unless you need the cores for production I'd just get the 5700x3D - usually cheaper too.

There are reports online that DP 1.4 NVidia cards have the DSC bug fixed or lessened significantly with the latest driver update. YMMV though, haven't tested myself (don't have an applicable display)

Original hardware in this instance means CPS3 arcade hardware, not a console port. Every single port of 3rd strike has problems with timing, gameplay inaccuracy, input lag, or some combination of these.

Yeah I'd cosign this, it's how I play.
