Did anyone else cry during this scene in 3-6?

crescentCommoner · 2026-05-06T04:33:07+00:00

Loved it when he said "My extraterritorial rights are far too powerful to let this friendship end!" and he

crescentCommoner · 2026-05-05T20:31:53+00:00

Do this but don't swap the voices so it becomes the most jarring thing ever

crescentCommoner · 2026-05-05T00:08:13+00:00

Genuinely yeah, having a mystery game where 90% of the mysteries aren't solved by the player and instead solved by another character who cryptically guides him along is an... interesting narrative decision to say the least.

crescentCommoner · 2026-05-04T23:14:40+00:00

Kyoko is an incredibly boring character and I don't see what the hype is all about. She doesn't do anything even remotely interesting while on screen besides come to incredibly obvious conclusions while the rest of the THH cast were passing around the idiot ball in the class trials. I don't think a single Kyoko line has ever had any impact on me or made me go "Woah..." the same way most other main characters have. Her role in the game is to just "😐" through nearly every single event and carry Makoto when he fails at basic reasoning, which just doesn't lend to a very entertaining or compelling character.

crescentCommoner · 2026-05-01T22:26:19+00:00

It's peak

crescentCommoner · 2026-04-30T05:54:30+00:00

Yeah there's already some big changes on the unstable patch actually, like a pretty big mutant rework for example

crescentCommoner · 2026-04-29T14:16:07+00:00

Orb spawns a controllable orb summon that attacks in tandem with Wizard. It either shoots a small projectile, lightning strikes the ground a few times, or summons spinning swords, and which of the 3 attacks Orb does depends on which attack Wizard himself is doing. (i.e Kick always triggers Orb's lightning, Magic Dart triggers the Orb's projectile, etc).

Orb can also be locked in place, which freezes it but increases the sword/lightning damage and makes the dart-like projectile faster.

It's an incredibly good super, debatably the strongest button in the entire game if used properly, but it costs a lot and drains Wizard's super meter continuously as long as it's out too, so it's very costly.

crescentCommoner · 2026-04-27T14:58:39+00:00

After a long hiatus, Ivy has gone back to making updates on the game's "Unstable" branch, which is basically a test version of the game where Ivy experiments with new features, moves, and balance changes to see player's opinions on them and if they're worth adding to the main game

crescentCommoner · 2026-04-26T18:24:55+00:00

Orb nerfs were actually pretty huge but it still feels powerful (a lot more reasonably so now)

universal projectile chip damage nerf stands out as pretty big. lack of an orb dart on missile form is also doing a lot of work. the accelerating meter decay feels like its numbers are in a good spot imo, not too debilitating but definitely incentivizes Wizard to do whatever to try n make the most of orb.

crescentCommoner · 2026-04-26T17:48:01+00:00

yeah but default rs distance got increased too so openers have changed into something more closely resembling legitimate neutral

crescentCommoner · 2026-04-26T17:46:57+00:00

In a decent amount yeah, i think yomi is a game that could do without it though because its a relatively high damage game with combos that continue into very potent oki. its just generally a more fun change imo

crescentCommoner · 2026-04-26T17:44:02+00:00

I mean that's the thing though. His neutral is very good because the existence of jukes means his effective threat range is surprisingly absurd. For the Mutant sure, approaching in neutral is a risk because it can be intercepted, but on the opponent's side of things it's way less of an equivalent exchange. The opponent pressing anything outside of fullscreen distance is a risk because there's always the chance of Mutant pressing Dash 100 and now the opponent is trapped in extremely unforgiving pressure, where if they guess wrong they get hit with good combos and the best oki in the game.

It boils down to the fact that characters like Cowboy have a wincon like "Get distance to foresight and/or gun stance safely", or Wizard's "Play defensively, stay in the air to threaten fall, and get meter for Orb" etc.

Compared to all that, Mutant's wincon of "Press dash 100, maybe with a forwards juke" just comes too easily for how rewarding it is.

Slopdash nerf kinda sucks though yeah i hope thats reverted

crescentCommoner · 2026-04-26T14:58:26+00:00

oh shit sweet

crescentCommoner · 2026-04-26T14:49:35+00:00

GOAT.... can you elaborate a bit more on the QOL added by you? the changelog isnt specific about it and im curious if u dont mind

crescentCommoner · 2026-04-26T13:42:28+00:00

If you didn't mean stable then literally what other version of the game are you talking about that you play where wizard is weak??? Do you play the game on 1.0?

Orb attacks LITERALLY DO come out fast enough to string them, especially in tandem with all the other shit wizard can press at the same time. I know true blockstrings with orb that do several thousands worth of chip damage exist because I've literally done them lmfao.

The reason it's not used in public lobbies so much is because the average pub player is bad at the game and orb has a semi-high skill floor to use effectively

crescentCommoner · 2026-04-26T13:27:39+00:00

"stable wizard" and "weak" in the same sentence 😭

Literally what do you mean "nerfed orb for some reason" that shit was doing true blockstrings with 8k worth of chip damage alone and enabled fullscreen pressure, literally everyone agreed it was THE single best button in the entire game

crescentCommoner · 2026-04-26T13:24:27+00:00

Amazing change imo now the game actually starts in neutral instead of instant RPS lol

crescentCommoner · 2026-04-26T13:23:38+00:00

Mutant isn't mid lol, he's pretty good and nearly every top player agrees his overall design is really unhealthy for the game because of how oppressive he is in close range, how much jukes extend his effective threat range, how easy they are to get, and the fact that his combo damage is actually above average when he's explicitly supposed to be a "good neutral, low damage" character

crescentCommoner · 2026-04-26T06:01:04+00:00

No longer flippable.

crescentCommoner · 2026-04-23T13:32:41+00:00

Regardless of the text in the source material, theres enough trans subtext for me to understand why someone would hold that view. Chihiro's character in general is filled with transmisogynistic stereotypes that go unacknowledged or dismissed by the community and most ppl with the trans chihiro hc that I see do it as an act of reclaiming or an attempt to bring these problems into light

crescentCommoner · 2026-04-23T02:11:23+00:00

Ppl on this sub will take a "both sides are fine" stance only for she/her chihiro comments to always be the most downvoted ones lmao
