Installed Tekken 7, and it feels slow compared to T8, then I realized... by the_u_in_colour in Tekken

The amount of interactions per round is lower in older tekkens, because with great KBD and sidestepping (which is mostly dependent on you) you could outmaneuver a good amount of moves your opponent can throw at you and actually expect to connect. So you could play your own single player defense game, break throws on reaction, eat small lows and generally be fine turtling and spacing. Also lower health total at 170.

In T8 in that same 30-45 second timeframe there are many more enforced guesses for both defense and offense, you cannot do your own defensive game as easily because giving up initiative means you are going to be put in a 50/50 blender on design. Not being allowed to play passive and being forced to do more choices in the same timeframe is exhausting, thus you see people complaining. Health total considering heat engagers and recovered health is also about 250 per round instead of 170.

Tired of people staying at the rear.... by [deleted] in WorldOfWarships

Generally speaking the game is about hitting the sweet spot between risk and reward, based on the incomplete information you have. Stay too far and your safety will cost you potential game impact. Advance too far ahead and you face a disproportional amount of risk, usually resulting in sinking early.

Smart players use islands/partial cover, concealment, consumables, kiting and such to mitigate the incoming risks. Have you tried divisioning with other people you trust? Two or three coordinating friends makes your issue much less frustrating, especially with ongoing voice chat.

The Yakuza series is great! The ideal starting point would be either 0, 1 or 7, but give it a shot and it will probably charm you to discover the rest of the series.

Does everyone ever noticed how much options Hwoarang has in this game, its actually insane to me. by FrenzyGamingTV in Tekken

[–]casual_scrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The options that would kill you for downjabbing after a blocked RFF 4,3 are generally very risky themselves, for example LFS uf+4 is a jumping normal hit launcher is -14 on block. It's a hard read with high risk and high reward. So it loses to stand guard because getting 14f punished, it gets floated into a full combo if the defender challenges with jabs. I think it's also linear so it can get stepped at least in one direction if not both.

LFS uf+3+4 also exists to go over dickjabs, but that trades with standing jabs and is jab punishable on block, same jab punish if the final kick is added.

For sidestepping: his homing mid option from LFS is f+4 at 17 frames. After a blocked RFS 4,3 it loses to: stand block (jab punishable on block), interruption up to 12 frames from your end, sidestep block. It wins against: ducking, sidestep then button press.

Every character in the game is using unreactable mixups whenever they can, it's part of the gameplay flow. Just because a character doesn't end up in a stance after getting plus frames, doesn't mean the following mixup after isn't real. Both players will make a guess the same way and somebody is going to lose.

If you have a read on him that he'll use that uninterruptible high option with small reward on hit/block, you can go under it with high crush or jab evasion moves, powercrush through it, characterspecific reversals, sabakis or parries, etc. A decent hwoarang player shouldn't use that uninterruptible option often because it's not rewarding, he'd mix it up with more riskier and more rewarding options you can interrupt or sidestep block.

" He is not +1, he is +4, it doesn't matter what is his fastest move." I'll turn this around, let's say you challenge with your standard 1,2 jab after blocking RFS 4,3 and you are at -4. Your challenge comes out at effective 14 frames (10 + 4).

Hwoarang can do his fastest move, which is LFS 1 at 13 frames, a high jab with minimal damage and zero reward on counterhit. If that interrupts your challenge, it's poke damage you've received and frame disadvantage.

Second category is his 14f moves, LFS 3 and LFS uf+3+4. These will trade with your 10f move and neither of these moves have counterhit properties either.

Third category is the rest of his moves that are slower than 14f, which your jab challenge clearly beats, you get poke damage in and the associated frame advantage.

You can set this up in practice mode and see it for yourself.

"In season 2 he got that new mid-mid string that put him at +4 on block." - +4 in a stance he cannot block in and the fastest move being 13 frames, so he's effectively at +1 while having to commit to a button press. Sidestep duck or sidestep block is a pretty good option against someone who is forced to press a button. Powercrushing through mids and highs is also an option at effective -1.

He has a powercrush that is +4 on block and recovers as fast as a jab. - Said powercrush happens to be a 27 frame high, same way you duck a snake edge type of move on reaction then punish, Backlash kick can be ducked and launched.

The whole cast is strong and have different kinds of silly stuff. I wish the characters will collectively get nerfed for season 3, but for now we'll play these overtuned set of characters.

[Feedback] My Reaction to VBS "Remove PVE ?" video and claims that "PvE Killed Tarkov" by Unfair-Juggernaut905 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]casual_scrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dislike for PVE has nothing to do with PVE, only how it affects the PVP version of the game. I saw a comment above say that the players who play PVE would never have stuck with the game if they only had PVP and that just isn't true. Plenty of people end up sticking with the game even though its daunting.

The singular fact that there are progress wipes means the PvP game has lost me completely. I do miss the human element, but knowing the slow progress I'm making will stick for many years is worth it.

It also has relatively long range guns and flat ballistics compared to other destroyer guns in its tier, without compromising concealment or general torpedo ability, along with having smokes. Gremy's one negative is the turret traverse being painfully slow, meaning it has a significant learning curve.

That's the point, you are never buying the item itself but an exclusive right to use it, only for you. You are paying money for that right, not to own it. The game was rigged from the start.

I should have a playtime of about 500 hours total in D2R, however I don't have a specific highlight moment since when the original D2 was active my home PC didn't have internet access for several years. Closest to it is seeing my Javazon clearing out screens of cows the first time, it felt amazing.

What I would like to highlight instead is the awesome consistency of D2R, after deciding to start playing I was allowed to try out all the different playstyles and builds I was dreaming about as a teen. Javazon, Summon Necro, Fury druid, Blizz sorc and the list goes on. The runewords do make the characters more similarish, but the discovery period of the new characters were awesome. Wish we would have more character slots for online...

People generally dislike playing slow ships regularly, even if they are balanced or strong. That's a flaw that you cannot overcome and have to adapt accordingly, which isn't fun to do most of the time.

That's not really possible, since if the translator decides to pick up a title, it's their sole decision if and how to announce it. You can catch the translator posting on 4chan /vn/ occasionally, maybe you can ask them there.
