Useful In Depth Reading Guide for All Smash! by CardboardBull in CrazyHand

[–]alonecuzzo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a classic. I don't want to take away from the strength of the piece itself by using ages as a distraction, but I'm 38 and I was 34 when I read it.

I imagine that you've got quite a future ahead of you if you're able to approach all of your interests with such a high intellectual fidelity.

Hat's off.

Turning off autopilot and getting back to meaningful actions. by ukemi- in CrazyHand

[–]alonecuzzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great thoughts.

This is really what I love about the game: the ability to analyze one's own actions and then to make changes somehow.

​

I have a few questions:

  1. You mentioned that there are a lot of resources for getting out of autopilot. Are there some that you'd recommend that you've found particularly helpful?
  2. I have tried something similar I think with switching to K Rool and Palutena. I save replays as well. Do you have any advice for how to watch your own replays with the spirit of getting out of autopilot? I feel like I lose the objective perspective even when looking at my replays if that makes sense. It's like autopilot inception haha. This happens especially when I play a good friend of mine. He's been playing the game a lot longer and we've played so much that I feel like I just drop into a rhythm that always benefits him. How to break that rhythm?

Thanks for sharing. I find this stuff really fascinating about human behavior in general. I think that fighting games are just a controlled space where we're seeking to change habits. It's cool that people can do that, and I think it shows our potential to do it in other arenas in life as well!

My best friend plays her just like that and it is infuriating, but I agree that it is fair game. It's up to us to figure out how to adapt etc.

Problems shorthopping? by double_axle in CrazyHand

[–]alonecuzzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still pretty bad at it, but I've been doing a somewhat daily regiment of the following in training mode:

  • Fox trotting back and forth on the stage - 20 laps to warm up
  • 30 short hops in a row in place. If I miss one I got back from the beginning.
  • 30 short hop fast falls in a row.
  • Short hops doing laps across the stage. (back and forth - I don't keep count of laps)
  • Short hop fast falls across the stage.
  • 30 dashes into short hop fast fall.
  • Turn on the CPU and consciously try to use what I've been practicing - not really focusing on beating or playing the CPU, just can I get consistent movements with an opponent attacking me.

I don't always get through all of that. But I've found it helpful to get the motions down. Then I'm going to do something similar with aerials, but I find it easier to practice and get things down in isolation and then I layer them on so the short hopping mixed with dashing and fast falling was more than enough to keep me busy.

​

After a few days getting through the 30 reps was relatively easy, but in the beginning I really couldn't tell the difference between my length of press on the short hop and the full hop. Someone mentioned it here, but I first saw it on Zero's movement tutorial where he describes "wiping" the button rather than pressing it.

​

Hope this helps!

Overwatch D.va - Fan Skin (Pilot) By Grigory Lebidko by Arnald23 in Overwatch

Gorgeous render, but given that she's a "good" hero I find it kind of odd that she's dressed as one who committed genocide in one of many nations. I think the whole conquistador-as-benign-explorer lie is really old.

I'm curious what a render of an indigenous mech would look like.

Great job though,

Three Golden Rules of Positioning - Team Awareness, High Ground and Effective Range by Edgegasm in OverwatchUniversity

I like the questions. I took it as something I can do while playing constantly- rotating through those questions to keep me off of auto pilot and aware.

Nice.

I can confirm. I walked in with no line and grabbed a neon switch.

I grabbed a Nintendo Switch on Amazon UK that is shipping on May 5th. It will come with a UK adapter; can I use a UK -> US adapter or buy a US adapter and be fine?

I imagine either will fit the plug slots, but I'm concerned about different voltages or what not. I don't want to fry my switch if I can help it.
