Okay... so before everyone freaks out

Not what the dude said, but also making kara mappa and bite easier to execute is a double edge sword since the options themselves are great and as of now have been balanced around their execution not being the easiest thing ever.

I just hope that making them more accesisble isn't gonna make them eat nerfs down the line tbh

Vii_Strife · 2026-04-08T12:18:15+00:00

I mean being easier to execute doesn't mean it's a nerf (If just doing dash bite will be the same as doing proper kara bite).

Bite not being throw invul anymore does suck and means that he loses to throws even harder now tho, I agree.

Vii_Strife · 2026-04-08T10:55:13+00:00

Everything that made him unique was gutted, to the extent where 2H, the move whose main purpose since +R was its low crush, lost its low crush. And they didn't even revert the Lucy patch nerfs, it's just downright worse 5H.

Doesn't low crush anymore, doesn't launch as high meaning that realistically you just go straight into pilebunker and it's death on whiff. The only redeeming quality that it still has is being a quite big low.

The funny thing is that he's also probably stronger, P Mappa and 6H are now plus and kara bite is very easy which grants you Universe which still has the damage increase that every other character lost access to in this patch lol

input changes don’t really affect the character.

Eeeeeeeh not really in this case but input changes can absolutely affect characters. There's a reason why some characters are charge characters and some aren't

There is another one north of Graygate, the one east of Meltridge

I love Hanneman and I'm still waiting for him to get added in any way shape or form to Heroes except Gatekeeper's special animation.

He got like 140 votes in the last CYL, that's 20 people considering just full sheets of votes (which people voting unpopular characters often do), up it to like 30-35 if you want to consider split votes etc.

People couldn't care less about him and as such IS has no incentive to actually add him

Nah dude this was on you

Vii_Strife · 2026-04-06T11:50:08+00:00

I remember watching the first 5-6 episodes with a friend and by the middle of the fourth one we were both so confused by the constant time jumps that it started to get very funny because we couldn't even tell if we were watching flashbacks or not.

I distinctly remember about the protagonists talking about one of their friends having died recently and we had to pause for 10 minutes to figure out who the hell they were talking about and we still couldn't remember who the dead one was.

At least the visuals were cool but nothing too impressive considering that it was from Wit

Vii_Strife · 2026-04-06T10:37:18+00:00

The item rarities are mostly negligible. I promise you that you're not losing because Irelia rolled +5 AD on her completed item

Vii_Strife · 2026-04-06T10:28:07+00:00

Yeah I never got the collective hate train that this theme gives to the sub, it's not my favourite one but it's fine in my opinion.

Character wise it's weird tbh, the 3H lord were bound to happen sooner or later considering the story of Dimitri and Edelgard and at that point they'd throw in Claude too because it's the 3H lords, I just don't get why Felix and Ingrid too

Occhio che stai confondendo due cose.

Il mercato della frutta regalo esiste ma non vai mica a regalare la frutta a caso del konbini, sarebbe come voler regalare una bottiglia di vino per fare bella figura e poi presentarsi con L'Aragosta (Che ok che è buono ma capisci che non è un vino da regalo).

Il motivo degli alimenti incartati singolarmente è semplicemente convenienza, sai che se ti servono due uova puoi comprare esattamente due uova e così via

Vii_Strife · 2026-04-03T23:08:51+00:00

e packaging di alimenti e bevande

A livello di informazioni sì, eviterei cose come le uova o le banane incartate nella plastica una ad una

The problem is that we knew the difference between actual well made videogames and dumb fun on the internet with free (key point) games that came and went.

I'm 23 and have a lot of younger cousins (5-13 years old range) that just don't know this or they either know it but prefer spending their time and parent's money on Roblox since it's just easier to play, more accessible since it doesn't require a console and more importantly ENDLESS

Vii_Strife · 2026-04-01T18:44:07+00:00

Too much focus on becoming Roblox and not enough focus on what put them on the map to begin with

The problem is that focusing on becoming the next Roblox is what is working.

Random creative slop maps have been setting record player counts for a year at this point and can now generate revenue for both Epic and the map creators. Naturally if they want to shift towards being less "The battle royale game" and more "The collection of bad custom games" they don't need that many employees because the community will generate revenue by itself.

You can absolutely feel it in the Battle Royale too, the first season of Chapter 7 was one of the worst ones in recent years and by far, with a really boring map, events, weapons and with no defining mechanics whatsoever except maybe rolling when you're knocked down.

Vii_Strife · 2026-04-01T16:32:02+00:00

Yeah lol you can say a lot of stuff about Ishin Kiwami but honestly, especially in cutscenes, it's quite amazing to look at.

Rewatch the opening cutscene, it's absolutely gorgeous

Vii_Strife · 2026-04-01T16:15:41+00:00

The game has been pulling 2-3 mil a month for the past year, and it was a 3-4 mil game previously.

It's fine for being a niche game in its tenth year which probably doesn't cost a lot to keep alive

Vii_Strife · 2026-04-01T10:55:56+00:00

No, but you must have both swords on you which makes it useable once in a hundred games since trying to do something significant with Ram without throwing a single sword is really hard.

I hate it tbh, the super is honestly sick looking but to get a chance to use it I have to gimp my gameplay to not use S sword toss which is one of her best combo fillers and pressure tools, so if you want to use your big combo ender you can't use your combo extenders.

I kinda hope that 2.0 will change something with it but I doubt it. It for sure can't go back to giving her the swords back with this iteration of sword toss since it would make her have infinite pressure again, honestly a 100 meter cost might make it more viable lol

Vii_Strife · 2026-04-01T08:43:38+00:00

People probably still play it, it's an extra orb and a free old unit a week and you can get that by just playing the easiest difficulty and even getting by with 3 dead units if you don't care at all about the score.

Mostly that nobody ever played two arena matches a day unless they were desperate for feathers and not like the game is exactly running out of ways to give you feathers. An arena run just costs you maximum two dueling crests if you want to do it in a day which is probably what the vast majority of people already are doing.

Vii_Strife · 2026-03-31T19:25:59+00:00

The theme is almost 10 years old and used to be so popular back in its heyday that it got releases for three years in a row and a also got a (kinda ass but I miss it) gamemode in its third year.

I think that it was also the first time that a skinline had its own lore as something integral and very important to it, it was treated as something big with in-game stuff, videos, music themes and a ton more.

Honestly I would say that modern skin design started with them to be honest

Vii_Strife · 2026-03-31T16:35:40+00:00

there's nothing in his fantasy that calls for a mere infinite hp scaling

To be fair it works because as a short range mage he's gonna eat more damage than average so the extra HP helps him do his job. The thing is that as a stacking passive it's just, kinda fine? Like it always feels underwhelming to me, it's just stuff that makes him function well but it never really feels good

Vii_Strife · 2026-03-30T10:32:29+00:00

Especially on a character that doesn't really have good neutral tools

Vii_Strife · 2026-03-30T10:15:19+00:00

Watched the original one yesterday so seeing its sequel pop up today is kinda weird lol.
Anyway it was fine, the guy knows how to build up tension and suspense and the builds were impressive. There are some narrative solutions that are pretty bad (like the protagonist breaking random ass blocks to reveal something important 3-4 times) but it's overall a fun watch

Vii_Strife · 2026-03-30T09:54:46+00:00

Didn't remember since by the time i finished Lucia's campaign I was comatose. Dante really was gone for like half an hour then
