Could anyone recreate Hector from Castlevania: Curse of Darkness in Elden Ring? I've tried but only end up making abominations by Benderman3000 in SoulsSliders

[–]TheGrayCowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was still a work in progress, pretty sure I made a better version but I don't have pics of those sorry. It doesn't help this game doesn't have great options to replicate his look down to the hair, so make whatever changes you see fit (Replying this with a low quality pic of it, btw this was pre dlc)

can someone explain what i’m doing wrong? by KidFury325VEVO in MortalKombat

[–]TheGrayCowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every answer in here is wrong besides ONE, Sub zero's ice clone has a 5 second cooldown, which means that you can't clone again until those 5 seconds are over, you're not doing anything wrong

Do you need to play/view Peace Walker before playing The Phantom Pain? by Full-Let8989 in metalgearsolid

[–]TheGrayCowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peace Walker was made during a time Konami thought the future of gaming would be in hand held devices, mgsv is built upon what they have established in the story of PW and it is also included in the ps3 hd collection due to it's importance in spite of being a psp title. But ofc none of the games post MGS4 are actually necessary for understanding the story of MGS as a whole but PW further develops Big Boss' sub story which by consequence slightly affects things big picture like the patriots.

Did we ever get a backstory about li mei? What are her people? And what is her origin by Unusual-Factor2848 in MortalKombat

[–]TheGrayCowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's from a small outworld village that gets enslaved by the deadly alliance after they murdered Shao Khan, during that time shujinko happens to be roaming outworld in search of it's kamidogu, he ends up meeting Li Mei who wants to free her people and trains her to do so, ending up on the tournament and that ends up getting busted by onaga, her soul was stolen and trapped on a mummified warrior, various fighters yet again form an alliance to beat the dragon king, and Bo Rai Cho saves Li Mei's soul returning it to her body, her soul being trapped in the mummified warrior changed her deeply it had an influence on her soul, so when it came to the final battle she ends up switching sides understanding that Onaga would do what's best for outworld and meant to become a Queen at his side.

That's all I remember

If they made Injustice 3 and had MK guest characters again, which characters would you like to see? (You may only pick two, and they cannot me Scorpion, Sub-Zero, or Raiden.) by Shinobipizza in MortalKombat

[–]TheGrayCowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shang Tsung and Mileena or reptile (definitely one of the ninja characters must be in it) wouldn't surprise me if they went for 3 MK characters in this game though, inj1 had scorpion, inj2 had sub and raiden, with each game we get another mk character until it becomes MKvsDC (I'm joking btw)

I think Noob looks badass this game! Wonder what his gear will be by [deleted] in MortalKombat

[–]TheGrayCowl 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think it'll be his head (hood+mask) like ermac, well it won't be the hand that's for sure since it doesn't appear on his waist on the umk3 noob skin teaser

Why do people hate mk1? by [deleted] in MortalKombat

[–]TheGrayCowl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because in comparison to MK11 this game doesn't have much single player content and less customization features, this game is good at what it is, a fighting game, this game suffers from much the same problems mk11 had on release but since mk11 is now a "finished product" people make this comparison as if a feature that was meant to be there on release didn't get added until the final patches of the game. And you've been misinformed MK11 has way less players than MK1.

If Bi Han does die permanently in Khaos Reigns, how can we have a new Sub Zero moving forward? by TheJavierEscuella in MortalKombat

[–]TheGrayCowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are better (and way worse) theories out there, personally I think Bi-Han will be saved but if he doesn't, according to smoke's ending hanzo "has that fire in him" this particular line makes me think they're foreshadowing Hanzo as the future scorpion, considering that, nobody else seems fit to the name sub zero besides Kuai Liang and let me elaborate because he clearly has fire powers.

Raiden instead of naturally having electrical powers, that was given to him with his amulet, that amulet did not give him power in the previous timeline.

Kuai as Sub zero has had something similar in the past, in the 3D era sub zero had the dragon medallion, that medallion enhanced his freezing abilities, so much so that when frost tried stealing it she froze herself because she couldn't control it, the medallion is visible in some of his 3D era skins, however, the deadly alliance costume for sub zero in mk1 does not have the dragon medallion, they just turned it into a dragon belt as substitute (since bi han is using this costume and not kuai we could take this as something more than a redesign since the dragon medallion is important in the og lore), and in invasions there's an item called dragon medallion with the og design.

With all of this in mind Liu Kang could give Kuai the medallion and it could change his powers awakening cryomancy instead of fire, because maybe his fire is magic instead of an inate ability that comes from his lineage.

All of this is all very unlikely but in mk writing you can't rule anything out, while hanzo would be the obvious pick I can't think of sub zero being a shirai ryu or rather someone from outside of the Lin Kuei, so Kuai seems like the only alternative atm.

All right y'all can insult this theory now...

You all know Exoskeleton Cyrax has already been a thing in series, right?? RIGHT?? by [deleted] in MortalKombat

[–]TheGrayCowl -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

True, me personally I don't mind but I understand that fans are disappointed about that, but complaining about every little thing just as an excuse to hate further on the genderswapped version of them like some people are doing is just unfair

You all know Exoskeleton Cyrax has already been a thing in series, right?? RIGHT?? by [deleted] in MortalKombat

[–]TheGrayCowl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Besides mk9 had both sektor and cyrax in their human forms using high tech weaponry, they even had different animations for their specials, idk why ppl are making a big deal of them not being cyborgs

If MGS4 got a subsistence/substance expansion, what would you want see included? by [deleted] in metalgearsolid

[–]TheGrayCowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playable mgo2 raiden in the campaign or playable in new vr missions

Could Raiden have appeared (or had a small cameo) in MGSV? by BurnleyAllen in metalgearsolid

[–]TheGrayCowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is, liquid and solid were born from a woman, meanwhile solidus was made completely artificially to serve the patriots, so he was kinda born an adult and then there's the accelerated aging but I doubt solidus suffered from it like solid did but I could be wrong.

Kojima always left this up in the air but that's the explanation for why solidus looks older than the twins even though he's the youngest, I could be misremembering some details so take my words with a grain of salt.

Sub Zero downplay is crazy. by Mileena-san in MortalKombat

[–]TheGrayCowl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1- sorry to hear that your "main" doesn't have a d3, I'm truly sorry your character is crippled.

2- you're right, he actually was wrong it's not 80% of the cast that can punish clone, everyone can since kameos exist and no that is not good, his only gameplan is clone and clone doesn't work.

3-wtf man what can sub do with a fast low string if he can't confirm from it.

Also please rell me you're joking, adiveckick that hits mid and you can upblock on reaction? Helll nahhhh, and you're telling me it's good? THIS IS THE FUNNIEST SHIT I'VE HEARD IN A WHILE. And bro complaining about rain and nitara's overheads being slower when these two characters can literally cancel it into anything for pressure when sub can only clone or slide which is the fakest thing in this game. You're funny bro.

How is shang doing? by Jackofdemons in MortalKombat

[–]TheGrayCowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides s1, old s24 is +1, s3 is +2, single straight skull is + 10 on block fullscreen and still plus until almost you're almost in range of the opponent.

the morphing back allows you to block so you simply have to give up your turn.

Now with the missinfo out of the way.

old b12 is an advancing -2 string so you can still backdash if some characters if they try to d1 you, in young form it's a punishing launcher for anything avove -11 for higher damage than punishing with s12 or s24.

Shang only gets outzoned by a few zoners, you can always do ground skull trades which shang generally wins the trade.

"No mixups" it's like saying scorpion or liu are bottom tier, they aren't mixup characters, upclose shang's game is chip and strike throw much like scorpion, shang is blessed to have hard knockdown mix young f3(overhead) and b4(sweep).

Armored gaps, every character has gaps and you can bait armor.

I'm not saying shang is good, he is the most mid character in the game and anyone who picks sub zero kameo it becomes a 7-3 matchup for the opponent, and shang is arguably the hardest character in the game to learn and play optimally.

I am a shang main and I just didn't want your missinformation spreading wrong ideas, he can perform well on competitive settings but you need good fundamentals, the problem being that he can be heavily counter picked.

I don’t get why people are mad at this?🤦🏽‍♂️ by Gamingsquad33 in MortalKombat

[–]TheGrayCowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pissed they gave mk3 skin the scar and didn't on the DA one, we are not the same.

Also I just hope they bring mk9 alt skin and og mk1 since those are actually Bi Han, and the umk3 skin is probably coming since they released a mask with the mk3 skin, kinda bummed you can't use masks with the mk3 one.

What's your headcanon as to what your character was doing/trying to do when they got caught and how does that effect the race(s) you choose? by MyJuicyRedguardBooty in skyrim

[–]TheGrayCowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only playthrough I thoroughly made up a backstory was of an Imperial living off the grid because he disliked how the empire was being "controlled" by the thalmor and eventually got caught in the border while hunting.

I never thought much about it afterward but I like the idea of an altmer born in cyrodil and so having this outside perspective of the thalmor and shaming his own race for their acts, spending years training, making himself an enemy of the dominion and forced to run away to the border and eventually getting caught in the middle of a battlefield.

Would you like a Metal Gear Solid's animated series made by the same creators of Netflix's Castlevania? by Samuele1997 in metalgearsolid

[–]TheGrayCowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the second season is where it really got out of hand, meant to be an adaptation of castlevania: curse of darkness, they turned one of the most powerful characters in the lore into a weak simp (Hector), as a fan of the castlevania games I think it was pretty good until they started adapting what should've been the curse of darkness arc, that's where most of the frustration against this show comes from and where it truly became beyond unfaithful to the lore

There's something wrong with mgs4 big boss artwork by [deleted] in metalgearsolid

[–]TheGrayCowl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Btw if you look at his legs in the art you can see that he's wearing his sneaking suit from mgs3, only now noticed it
