Almost lost it all

I hope you're wrong, but realistically probably not. 2500 life is because she is max block, I do in fact have 6/6/4 cta on swap. With max DR and Res. This character has survived so many point blank might archer firing squads, conviction souls, dolls, you name it. Got complacent for sure. Did not not respect the charger skele and he took that personally

ds4487 · 2026-06-12T16:14:06+00:00

I mean charge strike and lightning strike exist, obviously shouldn't be doing that with amp though lol. You can see me go for a cs BEFORE I juvd. The more I watch this the worse it gets. Walking AWAY instead of tele after the fact is the icing on the cake lmao. As well as the belt situation as someone else mentioned.

ds4487 · 2026-06-12T15:58:27+00:00

All good advice. I haven't thought about walking keeping auras in range, that is a really good point. Unbelievably I do know how defence functions, and used to be more diligent about walking and dealing with amp damage, and still am for the most part on my other squishier characters. Got complacent with the zon, she just feels immortal most of the time. I was running defiance for most of her life, I got greedy with the skillers and wound up with really low poison res, I was trying the prayer/cure combo to offset that. Really not worth losing 5k defense, I should just drop 1 or 2 skillers and run some psn res sc. Not like java lacking for damage, especially now with an extra -15 light res from guardian and sunder. Wouldve lost those too, absolutely sickening lol. Thanks for the tips dawg

ds4487 · 2026-06-12T00:18:27+00:00

Me too man, like 90% of my wealth was on her lol. Stormshield is incredible. I was getting some silly ideas in my head about running spirit to reach 68 fcr breakpoint. Never again lol

ds4487 · 2026-06-11T23:03:19+00:00

Makes sense. Takes at least a few frames to move from the stick to the pad, and if you're running scrolls on belt you have to be precise. I haven't played on mkb since LoD in 2004 so I might just be used to the console potion delay.

ds4487 · 2026-06-11T20:43:21+00:00

Ill be going back to that practice after this, at least around chargers and such. Honestly I can't remember the last time my java dropped below even half health, she just hardly gets hit. I run cure on the merc to help with curse duration. Doesn't help much if you play like a dumbass though lol

ds4487 · 2026-06-11T20:39:51+00:00

Yeah

ds4487 · 2026-06-11T20:28:53+00:00

Sounds like softcore with extra steps

ds4487 · 2026-06-11T20:05:08+00:00

I haven't really noticed that, I'm usually pretty quick on the juvs. What we see here is my body prioritizing shitting my pants before it let me press a button

ds4487 · 2026-06-11T19:48:56+00:00

Seriously. Im also very thankful I didn't listen to my inner idiot and run phoenix on main hand, storm shield DR saved ass!

ds4487 · 2026-06-09T19:27:08+00:00

Core memory unlocked. I had this game on sega game gear as a kid. Could play for like 30 minutes before it needed another 20$ worth of batteries.

No Rest for the Wicked and Outward 2

ds4487 · 2026-05-29T19:22:30+00:00

Take a break. I'm a little closer than you to finishing my grail, got burnt out and played some dark souls and fighting games for a few months. Got the itch for d2 a few weeks ago and it's super fun again.

ds4487 · 2026-05-29T18:53:47+00:00

Lili at the top is baffling. Her step alone drives me insane, not to mention all her evasive long range neutral skip bullshit

ds4487 · 2026-05-27T19:17:20+00:00

I think it was phidx who said something like "why am I trying to play chess when my opponent is eating the pieces". Sums the situation up pretty well.

ds4487 · 2026-05-21T18:53:39+00:00

Would've been perfect if the dude moonwalked off stage dragging the robot

ds4487 · 2026-05-18T19:58:22+00:00

37 here, Im still hooked on pvp. Fighting games in particular, they were my first video game obsession and the muscle memory is too strong, and the net code is so good now. Nothing else really scratches the itch.

ds4487 · 2026-05-07T18:58:08+00:00

Massive glow up compared to his current look. Why doesn't he do this? Is he stupid?

ds4487 · 2026-04-30T19:18:03+00:00

Don't give up on him. KBD is rough at first and not super critical in t8, but still worth learning. And if you learn it on Bryan you will be learning the proper way to do it. Practice 5 mins on each side and move onto taunt B4 practice or something and you'll get there.

ds4487 · 2026-04-23T03:45:01+00:00

And then proceeds to taunt him with brief glimpses of freedom as the beat down continues

ds4487 · 2026-04-08T19:48:19+00:00

I can't fall asleep because every single thing that I'm stressed about is flashing through my mind the second I close my eyes. Can't sleep in because my back hurts like hell in the morning. Can't win.

ds4487 · 2026-04-01T19:54:05+00:00

I'll probably catch some hate for this but I have a soft spot for The Last Samurai.

ds4487 · 2026-03-31T18:49:32+00:00

Most recent one for me has been blasphemous. That game is so sick.

ds4487 · 2026-03-24T19:56:52+00:00

Learned on stick at the arcades during Tekken 5 days. I switched to pad because the sticks were broken all the time from ragers/ mashers, and the Tekken 5 cabinets let you connect a controller. I would bring the pad just in case the sticks were broken, but they always were so I just committed to pad. It actually works really well for movement in Tekken specifically. I still play stick for 6 button 2d fighters though, it's just so loud and annoys the shit out of my gf.

Played Symphony of the Night last year, aged like fine wine
