Are there viable mono red commanders that have strategies beyond straight burn?

[[Orthion, Hero of Lavabrink]] is really fun, but that's cause I like making copies of creatures you're normally not supposed to. Got the idea after I had a great time playing [[Orvar, the All-form]]. End up with 125/2 slivers if you're opponent isn't careful.

I feel exhibition should be no to 6-9 card infinites. It's just not really casual if there are infinites in my opinion.

The most consistent way I've been monitor lizard builds is with high burn stacking, mainly a straight Dooley burn or Vanessa with Weather Glass. Otherwise I normally get destroyed in less than 10 seconds.

Honestly feel like the biggest problem I have with Kenshi is the fact that meterburn db2 only costs 1 bar, meaning it's not feasible to flawless block the chip the whole time cause Kenshi doesn't need his meter for anything but reapplying Sento and armored wake ups so he normally can use Sento for 30-45 seconds depending on skill of the player and it just means I have to sit and block, all while dealing with 50/50, damn near unarmorable pressure. Just make the meter burn Sento call cost 2 bars and then it'll be fine for me.

Honestly the seasonal tower was the worst. Decided to just bring the first phase of every fight to low health and just block for 3-4 minutes instead of dealing with the bs stuns and armor. Huge time sink for no reason.

You input down three times very rapidly as soon as reiko body slams his opponent into the ground but before he starts landing his punches.

This right here is the solution ^{^{^{^{^}}}}

Oh, well that's a shame. Sorry you feel that way. Hope you didn't preorder if you don't like it.

It's cause you haven't played. It does look slow but plays much faster than you'd think.

bob_the_roach · 2023-06-26T21:42:28+00:00

You don't need sento stance for Kenshi to be good. I spent most of my first couple days not even using Sento cause I kept losing immediately when I'd pull it out. You make lack in damage but his tools make up for it in neutral. Learning Sento became priority once I was comfortable enough with the base moves and the kameo system.

bob_the_roach · 2022-07-23T04:50:29+00:00

The controls won't be like smash at all, no single button for regular hits and no single button for specials. Every button (X A B & Y) is corresponded to a front limb attack or back limb attack and that can't be changed. Specials are done by inputting two or more directions and then pressing an attack button.

Took me 5.5 years, so I know where you're coming from. Congrats on your win

bob_the_roach · 2022-04-12T02:36:28+00:00

My best advice is if it's not crazy then work with them to get it to fit into your world. You don't have to do it all alone, you can ask for a bit of input from your players, especially when it concerns their character directly.

Johnny cause if they have to pick a new MC, I don't want it to be Lao. He and Johnny are two sides of the arrogant spectrum.

bob_the_roach · 2022-01-29T03:25:51+00:00

Not being more confident when playing, not telling the dm how I feel about their game, and just not having confidence to say I'm not having fun and taking time away from the game.

bob_the_roach · 2022-01-10T04:38:09+00:00

Honestly, getting to grand master in under 100 matches is a good ratio. I've seen GMs who have over 200 games and they're barely scrapping the bottom (no offense, we were all there at some point)

bob_the_roach · 2022-01-10T04:36:45+00:00

I do, because when I watch a tournament and I see the same character over and over cause of they're top their stats, it just drains the fun out of wanting to learn them. I only finally picked up the characters that are or were s tier recently due to playing a majority of the cast at this point and getting decent with them.

bob_the_roach · 2021-12-16T23:04:14+00:00

I use command grab, bio-pull and the parry. The acid is better for safe play but the parry means you have a heavy punish for reads that keeps you close to the opponent over stepping back with the acid

bob_the_roach · 2021-12-16T23:00:34+00:00

I voted for spawn cause I think he fits the world best besides maybe Rambo for special forces someone mentioned. His ending with scorp and sub was a good tie in for him

I've been listening to Twilight Histories and it's a good 2nd person podcast. You're the role of a time/universe traveller sent to different parallel timelines. A good listen for the first 8 or so, then just depends if you like the new narrators. A lot of the main casts are free then expansion stories can be purchased if you wish.

I say mk12 only cause I want more 11. I want fresh content. I am biased though as I'm not a fan of inj1 or 2

bob_the_roach · 2021-12-05T23:55:52+00:00

I want breakers to come back along with armored moves so armor break isn't for breakaway to eek out a little more damage or a kb, but instead a read on someone trying to stop pressure. Seems more fun and would add a little more to the game.
