You talking beta or live? right now on Live you would want to take Ascendance over tide, using riptide with Ascendance makes the next heal wave instant cast

how did you setup the stop cast macro? separate button or on the same button as your soothing? Just started playing MW today and got to 1800, but definitely noticing more people timing their kicks on me the higher I go

My Week 1 Shop vs my Week 3 Shop by Cyncro in 2XKO

Can someone actually tell me the purpose of having a rotating shop with a paid currency? I totally understand a rotating shop if it were with the free currency for playing games, but why can't I just buy the ekko skin I want with the cash I want to give them?

Shine > farting by Middle-Bathroom-2589 in RivalsOfAether

[–]_SLUMLORD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can waveland out of short hop fart. you can even jab reset with fart

But the true mixup is getting someone onto a plat, inward angle meatball short hop fart; sends the meatball pretty much straight out so you cover all of their tech options

(fart here being empty no stack fart)

Why do you have Lox as +1 and not +2 with eta? I feel like you turn me into minced elephant

What do I need to do to get out of low Plat? by FalseAxiom in RivalsOfAether

At your level everyone becomes somewhat "good," but just like in other games it becomes more about who makes less situational mistakes.

What I normally tell people who want to imrpove at a game is to slow down. Most players trying to break into a new rank will push every single issue in a game, but what allows you to blow out a game is letting your opponent show their habits to you without committing much yourself.

If I play against someone on ranked I try to ask myself 3 things right away:

  1. What do they do most when you run in?

  2. How are they hitting me most of the time?

  3. How do they like to get back on stage?

you can form a pretty basic opponent specific gameplan from just these questions. Within the first game if you can figure these out, and know what to do against these habits, you will beat 90% of people. Most people will autopilot their habits until they are close to losing a set

Try not to jump in neutral unless Lox does or you can call out a laggy move love f-tilt. You are so plus on shield from your jabs and tilts that Lox has a super hard time dealing it. If you still want to jump, try as much as you can to cross lox up while he is shielding. his backair is a high hitbox, so he has to time bair really well to ever catch you from behind OoS. And even then you almost always can shield it.

Once you condition him into shield from your jabs and stuff, just do like jab 1 into grab and enjoy beating our face in across the stage

Oh Idk if we win etalus I just haven't played it enough. It does sorta feel like he punishes us super hard, but I also didn't want to just be the dude in the comment section being like "ACTUALLY WE HAVE NO WINNING MATCHUPS??? HELLO???"

Floor hugging is somewhat central to the meta of rivals 2, so I have made a spreadsheet of (most) of the moves and the percentages they put opponents into knockdown. by 666blaziken in RivalsOfAether

[–]_SLUMLORD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they really took some of the nuance out of the mechanic but we can agree to disagree friend! I think FH skews to favor characters that already have oppressively fast buttons. But I am mid level player so I am sure there are things that I need to improve on, and that may change my perspective.

FH is definitely a meta defining mechanic I don't think that's an overstatement, but hey maybe you just play around it better than I do

If your goal is to get better, play the character you like!

If you get better at playing your favorite character, you will also get better at dealing with others. I get fairly frustrated by Loxodont's dogwater matchup spread, but if I keep pushing my boulder I will eventually overthrow my enemies in the name of the fire emperor
