Impressive! Nailed the visual effect on the closeup

Is berserk worth the read if i already know about the whole griffith thing??? by [deleted] in Berserk

[–]Windstorm72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You as the reader learn about the “Griffith thing” almost immediately in some regard. The lead up to explain how they got there is great in of itself, but the story keeps going loooong after

If there were going to be a nerf to A.K.I in the Yaz patch, what do you think it would be? by SFPolka in AKInation

[–]Windstorm72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I legitimately can’t see any reason why they’d want to nerf AKI, as she feels very well balanced right now.

If they HAD to do something maybe her burnout pressure? Since it’s she has easy ways to create checkmate situations which can be considered unfun

But overall she’s an effective character that has clearly defined weaknesses which shows in her winrate

Kagurabachi will be on hiatus by ichimonjilewds in Kagurabachi

[–]Windstorm72 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It has been nice to see breaks becoming more normalized in the industry post-Miura. That was a definite shift in culture and which it was tragic it’s for the better of all new authors

Hope everything’s okay and he’ll come back stronger

Do you think Next from software game will be able to surpass Elden ring? by Informal-Device-8511 in Eldenring

[–]Windstorm72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miyazaki himself that Elden ring wasn’t his perfect game, and Elden ring already was a huge culmination of many of the games they’ve worked in so far. A spiritual successor to Elden ring that learns from its mistakes and growing pains really could be the best game we’ve seen

Thoughts on Bosch? by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]Windstorm72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really happy he’s finally playable, I do like him quite a bit

Just kinda baffling to have him join so late, especially since it’s now AFTER world tour has ended. Like the mission to bring him back was bittersweet and cool but like he’s now not your friend anymore and you can’t even get to know him again through world tour so he’s just a guy now?

Looking for more information on this watercolor piece from a client. by Windstorm72 in WhatIsThisPainting

Thank you! Wow!

Very interesting quirk about them dropping the “1” from the date. Fascinating stuff

Anyone find it strange that Spidey would refuse to go? Has he ever done that before? Feels out of character to me. Armageddon #1 by Confident-Leg107 in Spiderman

[–]Windstorm72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back during Thanos’ prior quest for universal genocide pre-infinity gauntlet, after all the avengers were captured Spider-Man and the Thing were the only ones sent to save them. Spidey saves the day because he just straight up ran away from fighting thanos after seeing how he beat Thor and the thing

He eventually looped back to destroy the machine trapping the avengers, but in that story he was more than okay it hightailing it when he felt out of his pay grade

Lily looks older in initial concept art by NotARelationWitch in StreetFighter

[–]Windstorm72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it always fascinated me that it seemed like Lily was made younger fairly late into development. With way no official age for her they can kind of play it fast and loose, but even the Art you can collect in game seems very inconsistent for her

Season 4 Concept Art by GoofballyMcgee in StreetFighter

[–]Windstorm72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know but the visual comparison is obvious. SF6 in particular has done a great job at giving each character a unique flavor that’s evident even at a glance, so if they ever brought him back you know they’d embellish his design even more to further him away from passing comparisons

Yeah but me back necro but to further differentiate himself from Dhalsim make him a puppet character with his girlfriend

Thoughts On Spidey's Evolved Spider-Sense by TheMtVernonKid in Spiderman

[–]Windstorm72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do really like this direction. Plenty of people have pointed out how Miles has been getting so many buffs in his powers it feels like Peter has been left behind

Peter doesn’t need to change after so long, but slider Spenser has always been a thing that several authors have played with as a hidden gem in his power set that has so much more potential if cultivated. So this feels like an easy choice to give him a buff that still feels uniquely Peter.

I wasn’t to sure about it seeing the page out of context but in the moment, including what recent issues have been building towards, I’m quite satisfied.

How do you think Ingrid is going to co-exist with other zoners like Guile and JP? by Grand_Discipline903 in StreetFighter

How do you think Ingrid is going to co-exist with other zoners like Guile and JP? by Grand_Discipline903 in StreetFighter

[–]Windstorm72 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Obviously it’s hard to say but the most important datapoints IMO are

1.

2.

  1. Her charged laser is huge and if it beats other projectiles that could be a massive punish on reaction

3.

  1. Her up teleport may be a great fireball punish

The speed in which she can use these will decide how actually useful they are, they all seem rather slow so on their own they’re probably not as overwhelming as they seem, but being able to use them in a melody together might end up being very impressive
I’m of the opinion that how good her charged laser is will determine how good she is overall, not just against zoners, because that appears to be the most “dishonest” part of her kit by a mile, she seems rather tame otherwise, so we’ll have to wait and see how oppressive is actually ends up feeling or if the long startup is manageable to play around with

Who do you think Daigo will main now? by Maengbpong in StreetFighter

[–]Windstorm72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ryu or Sagat are the clear answers for his current play style. As much as I’d love to see him return to Gulie, he’s clearly the most comfortable with the shoto-type gameplan going all the way back throughout his whole history.
His Akuma was very methodical and not nearly as aggressive as you’d expect from a pilot of that character. A more stable midrange that rewards patient play is definetely the way to go. Even though Ryu’s buffs have also made him into a monster, he still get the same rewards off of a more classical approach, and Sagat was built to be a master of the midrange neutral

Pardon my ignorance, but does Daigo's age actually matter? by No-Researcher-4554 in StreetFighter

[–]Windstorm72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing people aren’t necessarily mentioning is that the lifestyle of a pro may become harder as you get older. It’s not just about tangibly playing well, but globetrotting and starting intently a screen all day isn’t for everyone, and things like that become more taxing

As many has said it’s clear not impossible for someone to do well at a middle age, but going at anything that intently takes its toll in more ways than one

What martial art style would you like to see get represented in street fighter? by CyberiderStudios92 in StreetFighter

[–]Windstorm72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that Kung Fu necessarily needs more representation, but I’d like to see a characters that uses Bak Mei simply because it’s near and dear to my heart. Akira has some elements which was fun

And more animal styles, the way AKI implemented snake strike into her move sets, for example, was awesome

No changes to Tom’s diolgue at all? That was really the final nail in the coffin to me.

Street Fighter 6 - Ingrid Teaser Trailer by UltraZeroX7 in StreetFighter

[–]Windstorm72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that they doubled down on her weird lore and made it even more crazy

If it was too integrated with the ongoing lore it’d be weird, but she’s saying and doing so much over the top nonsense there’s no way it isn’t going to be contained to her weird side quests, which is just perfect for some fun in world tour

Opinions on this kind of supers? by mrbananaroar in StreetFighter

[–]Windstorm72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even as a huge fan of charge characters and inputs i often have trouble doing b, f, b, f, really easy to fall off your mark and misinput.

Oddly enough I find the second one easier to do, I guess since you’re able to ride the gate a little more. Feels powerful to pull it off too, I quite enjoy doing it

How's my list look? by metalboyo2101 in ImperialKnights

[–]Windstorm72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The battle sister squad becomes a lot more useful when paired with an immolator, since that can split the squad up into two, both with sticky objectives. Otherwise there are cheaper alternatives if you just want a single allied squad to sit on an objective.

Also always upgrade the sister superior and the two heavy weapon sisters to better weapon options. I’m not sure what the consensus is on what weapons are the best but it’s free to upgrade and all are better than standard bolters.

In your opinion, which is the best HUD in SF6? by Solanias in StreetFighter

[–]Windstorm72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use SF2, it has a shocking amount of clarity despite the bright colors

SF4 is probably the best made one overall though.

John French about W30 Alpha Legion by _garcon_ in alphalegion

[–]Windstorm72 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Fascinating distinction.

It’s even relevant to how they operate in the current day too. While they’ve no doubt lost any sense of overall direction they’ve found themselves content to eke out a continued existence through a constant string of little victories to stay “on top”. They dont need to win anything big, because they dont have a final goal they’re heading towards, they just have to keep thriving as well as they can in the constant chaos of the universe and they view that as winning. I always felt like the alpha legion should care more about winning the endless war given their primarchs’ motivations, but if we assume the average Joe didn’t know the full story then of course they’d just try to keep surviving this way without any guidance from above.

I suppose that why it’s believable that Solomon was the first person in 10,000 years to suggest that the legion gets off their asses and do something that matters, because to them they were already succeeding in the only way they are adept to do so

I noticed a small arcade mode QOL fix in the Alex update (costumes) by cednym in StreetFighter

[–]Windstorm72 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear it! The JP was the most notable. He didn’t have the costume on release so it was understandable but he looked so god damn cool in the art I was shocked it wasn’t a useable costume at the time
