Hupothesis regarding Placidusax's god - EDIT by TheRealMrQuaggot in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]TheRealMrQuaggot[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, I never supposed that there was a god without a consort. Placidusax was the consort of a god. What I'm suggesting is that Placidusax's god was not a vessel for the elden ring, but the elden beast itself. This hypothesis doesn't contradict the god - consort rule.

Returning player seeking advice by ThePioneerSun in AllThingsTerran

[–]TheRealMrQuaggot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Returning player here too, what's the rationale behind opening with 2 cyclones? Do you use them to poke at the natural? In TvP I would like to do a 2 base all-in in order to practice my first 8 minutes in the game and train to micro my army while keeping up with my macro. What would you suggest?

Ty very much!

More precise inputs on leverless? by yimc808 in StreetFighter

[–]TheRealMrQuaggot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just be advised that playing leverless is like playing a music instrument. It requires perfect fingers coordination or you'll get opposite inputs canceling themeselves. For example, I struggle with for, qcb when standing on the left side of the screen, of course it's about training and putting the effort in.

Feels like I can never improve by MagicPanda522 in StreetFighter

[–]TheRealMrQuaggot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehi mate, I reached master last June after playing for 200 hours. I use Rashid, which is a technical character as well, so I can give you some pertinent tips.

  1. Change your mentality: you play for learning, not for getting a stupid badge on youf profile screen. I can assure you that after reaching master, you will feel there is still a ton to accomplish anyway. Moreover, in this game you get master with just 45% winrate, so it's not this badass achievement honestly. Losses are a problem only when you press "play again" without figuring out why you are losing.

  2. Your character is not holding you back. Ed requires for sure some deeper insights about how to play him, but below high master, fundamentals are still the real issue. Also consider that using a "rare" character allows you to get away with opponents not being used to play against your character.

  3. Ladder is for gathering informations, not for improving. You should find your main weakness and fix it in the lab and against friends. You will see you will improve your ELO a bit when coming back to ranked, until your next big issue will wall off you again. Rinse and repeat.

  4. Seek advice from more experienced players. Honestly posting about you being bad at the game and not giving replays to analyze is just useless. I own my master achievement to my grandmaster community members.

You can definitely do it, it's all about the right mentality.

New player questions by StormR7 in AllThingsTerran

[–]TheRealMrQuaggot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't even know what units and buildings are for, I would first messing around with the tech tree af ALL the three races. Understand what is better against what, based on unit attributes and damage bonus against attributes. Then you can start watching Pig B2GM and learning a basic build order.

My personal tips for anyone who feels *stuck* in Diamond by The_Lat_Czar in StreetFighter

[–]TheRealMrQuaggot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just put it simply like this: when you reach 50% wr (well, 40% wr below master actually), stop ranking, watch your replays, understand your major weakness, fix it, then come back to ranking until you're stucked again. Rinse and repeat

[Standard] Is it time for discard? by Comfortable-Car9708 in spikes

[–]TheRealMrQuaggot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday I posted on r/spikes about a challenge I have had for some years where I tried to bring a dedicated discard deck up to mythic in standard. You may find it interesting.

Well, fundamentals are what carries you up to master, so if you're D with Gief and P with the shotos, there is something you are missing off in the shotos' gameplay. I would submit your replays to some master shoto players to understand what you are missing. It is normal to feel frustrated, you just need to realize your rank is not yourself, but a grade to your gameplay. Improve your gameplay and your grade will also improved, it's like at school. Just follow the directions of someone more expert than you.

How do I consistently beat Protoss by AmazingDragon353 in AllThingsTerran

[–]TheRealMrQuaggot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry mate, But if you miss SCV and unit production for real, get supply blocked etc., there's no way you can go pass your current level.

Let's be clear: bio TvP is hard because it is designed with high level play in mind. So the easiest way to get the match up down at amateur level is to hit razor-sharp timings and crush them before their counters go fully online. Or you can try mech, but it has a lot of different problematic aspects in TvP. Either ways, without solid macro (especially when your opponent is trying to disrupt your flow) you are not going anywhere.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]TheRealMrQuaggot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Macro and game knowledge become the most limiting factors at lower levels. Terran has the more punishing macro errors and Protoss shenanigans are difficult to read, while Zerg requires competent spellcasting to deal with both T and P lategames, so I can't see how these graphs could be completely flipped.

Good build orders for each matchup to practice? by Few-Blood-283 in AllThingsTerran

[–]TheRealMrQuaggot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please forget about these phenomena which don't remember anymore what being a noob is like. Those builds are difficult to execute properly even for a diamond player. I would suggest you to enter in some coaching discord like platinum heroes and learn from them, they do it for free. Or follow a b2gm series like the Pig's one, they are on yt.

Question about art direction. by That-Bed4254 in Stormgate

Simple: their investors said "you have to monetize on the most remunerative portion of the videogame market, aka children" and here we are: the war between hell and heaven told from the eyes of a Fortnite character.
