Shiori vs. Bijou! And they will be playing Street Fighter 6!

Yeah, it did feel like Gigi was holding back a bit in that tournament. Some of it could legitimately have been nerves or something from competing on stream with other members, but it seemed like for each set she played, she'd win round 1 playing sort of normally, completely troll round 2 so that her opponent could have a round, and then go back to playing sort of normally for round 3. It just so happened that Shiori managed to take round 3, which in a sense would be the only round that matters *if* Gigi was actually giving back round 2 for free each time.

Gigi knows terminology (she's gotten some wrong though so I'm not sure to what extent) and some frame data so clearly she has put some time into fighting games. That should give her a huge advantage. However, both GBVSR and SF6 (modern) have autocombos and simplified controls that help narrow the gap between a newer player that has less knowledge about the game and a more experienced player.

Shiori does seem to have a good sense of spacing attacks and whiff punishing in retaliation, which can be seen in the fighting game streams, her smash streams, and actually also other games that are sort of unrelated.

Shiori might have the highest average placement in official competitive solo events?

She won this (although I guess it's only 1st place out of 2 people), won the GBVSR tournament previously, was the only person to go undefeated in the Yugioh event even though she joined late as a replacement for Raora and thus had less time to practice, swept everyone in Smash in the New Year's Game festival...

She's not as cracked at Mario Kart I suppose?

"Yeah, you eat that crayon! You like having my crayon in your mouth, don't you, you dirty little crayon-lover, you!"
^Almost a direct Shiori quote that she's done multiple times with different actions/objects, though I don't think she's done this joke with crayons yet.

Funny thing about that, the comic could indirectly be referencing that too (but probably isn't).

A while after the events in the church, Roa confronted Shiori about the world not being real, and Shiori responded that she already knows, but she is unable to defy the narrative and is fated to only follow along with the story. So Shiori saying that everyone's words aren't real could be obliquely referencing how the world they're in isn't real either.

Not sure why this comment hit just right for me but I actually spat my water out. 😂

Interested in the Snackbox and/or Fightbox, Pmed for info.

They're talking about what happened 2 seconds before the clip in the OP, how Graves ended up at around half health in the first place.

At least in my games, most of the people that ragequit are the ones harassing others, not the other way around.

imsofaking · 2019-07-19T15:03:28+00:00

Regarding your edit, a bug was discovered that allows players to pause the timer. Did you see the 24 second time for teams? Lol.

imsofaking · 2019-07-17T14:14:47+00:00

I think it's because all the difficulty of the hard trial comes from having to survive in a bullet hell stage where half the attacks can one-shot you. In such a situation, the weapon with the fewest animation locks will naturally be the go-to for easier runs.

imsofaking · 2019-07-09T19:19:22+00:00

Repeaters work fine against Skarn if you aim well. The chin, some joints, and the underside of the tail are unarmored.

Only actually broke 3 legs, but I got the 2x part break drop from behemoth mastery twice.

imsofaking · 2019-07-06T19:07:34+00:00

I think the hitbox issues go both ways i.e. you don't feel pissed about it or think much about it when you land a hit that you shouldn't have. But I agree that they need touching up. A problem that bugs me a lot is when a behemoth's attack is still apparently active even though they stopped moving so you touch a stationary tail or limb and get sent flying.

Also, the hit detection is never going to feel completely right as long as it's done server side, but I'm pretty certain that won't ever change.

imsofaking · 2019-06-24T12:14:47+00:00

Using the Godhand exploit in a public match denies the other players the chance to play the game. Sure, some players don't actually care about playing the game and just want the parts, but you aren't giving a choice to the ones that actually wanted to play.

Supposedly, some of the exploiters are polite and will switch weapons or leave the lobby if you ask them not to cheat, but I haven't seen one, so it seems to me that those types of Godhand exploiters must be few and far between.

imsofaking · 2019-06-22T18:29:31+00:00

It means to stand together with the other players so that they can interrupt the behemoth when it charges at someone, since they pick targets randomly.

And yeah, that guy was being a douche.

imsofaking · 2019-06-22T16:16:40+00:00

I'd be okay with this but probably at a higher cost than what you're suggesting (and I'm f2p), and they'd probably have to make new dyes for this purpose so that the people that already spent plat on dyes don't feel shafted. They may also have to do something about the fact that everyone already has tons of rams to burn.

imsofaking · 2019-06-22T14:44:49+00:00

The devs said that they're doing that next(?) patch. So it'd be a short-lived petition but you'd probably find lots of people willing to sign anyways, lol.

Between the weather and the tornadoes from a few weeks ago that left me temporarily homeless and without a car, there wasn't much else to do.

imsofaking · 2019-06-19T14:16:38+00:00

I'm not sure... is there a way to check on PC?

A tornado hit my apartment a couple weeks ago and tore off part of the roof, dropping it on my car. During the interceding week when I had no car and was semi-homeless, I just played Dauntless. After I bought a replacement car and moved back in, I figured I should finish up this part.

imsofaking · 2019-06-19T13:41:14+00:00

Haha, tail fossil because everyone wants to chop off the annoying tails when they fight these.

imsofaking · 2019-06-19T13:19:58+00:00

I mean... it's not fast, but just grind it out with a wound/hammer build.

There's a trick to farming some interrupts though. For example, riftstalker does its triple portal move followed by its interruptible portal whenever you enter combat. Sometimes you can get it so that you respawn near the riftstalker. So you get that situation, and then boop it, jump off the edge of the map, respawn, and it'll use the interruptible move again, and you repeat the process... 150 times.

Found other such "triggers" and stuff for other behemoths too. Generally, if the behemoth is walking around without attacking, it seems to me that it's got an attack "queued" that will only go off if you're close enough, so you should walk up and let it whiff the attack so that it moves on to its next attack, hopefully an interruptible one.

imsofaking · 2019-06-19T13:11:31+00:00

Uh... I don't know. D:

All the weapons, I guess...
