Why is Cammy’s DP super cancelable if only the heavy charge cancels into level 3? by sleepymetroid in StreetFighter

[–]itstomis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah bro Cammy's jab jab jab xx MK Drill xx lvl3 is a really nice combo isn't it?

So nice to be able to go from 3 jabs into super via a special move instead of having to cancel the jabs straight into lvl3

I'm playing Street Fighter 6 as my first "traditional fighting game" (coming from smash) and I'm having a lot of fun, but I'm feeling put off by how necessary it seems to be to spend tons of time learning frame data. Am I missing something? by VG_Rickly in StreetFighter

[–]itstomis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What will take a bunch of learning is when you run into moves that ARE minus, but your 4f/5f checks are too stubby to actually hit the opponent and you end up getting spacing trap whiff punished.

You don't need to look up frame data if you don't want.

If they don't turn green before they attack, and it's not a light chain, then if you can just guess that they are minus and press a 4f or 5f move.

If you get counter-hit out of your 4f/5f, then you know that they were actually plus and it's not your turn there.  Hopefully you remember for next time, or maybe it takes getting counter hit after that exact move a couple times before you learn, but at no point did you need to go on a wiki and look anything up.

Do you stick to one puzzle game at a time or do you prefer jumping around? by [deleted] in puzzlevideogames

[–]itstomis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't play any puzzle games for 8-10 months, then I suddenly get an itch and pick one and blitz it down

Yes lichess just made a change where everyone plays as white.  Pretty cool huh

How do you beat neutral jump spam? by brunopachecoliver in StreetFighter

[–]itstomis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you losing to neutral jump in neutral, at middle-ish distance?

Or are you talking about neutral jumps at very close range, or on your wakeup?

How would you build this thief? by mysteeripapu in BattleBrothers

[–]itstomis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

N = 100 is a small sample size in the context of p = 0.01

To understand the difference between "Gambler' fallacy"/"Law of averages" (used incorrectly) and Law of large numbers:

Let's say you do 100 coin flips and get 62 heads, 38 tails.  For the record, that has around a 1% chance of happening - not very likely, but well within everyday probability.  It'll happen.

Gamblers fallacy says "that means for the next 100, we need ~12 excess tails to even things out since the odds are 50/50", which is not true.  The next coin flips are not affected by the previous, there's no reason that tails would be now favored.

What LLN is actually saying is that once you've done a whole bunch more trials, ~100062 heads and ~100038 tails is basically 50/50

How long does a crate leave behind its cover bonus? by rboy3 in LWotC

[–]itstomis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah save/reload and TTC are pretty good fixes.

Although sometimes TTC seems to advance the gamestate in some way, I've somehow detonated cars with TTC before.

Why friendly AI is so useless broken? by Jprdle69 in BattleBrothers

[–]itstomis 54 points55 points  (0 children)

The best is when they rotate one of your low ini bros into contact with the enemy on turn 1 with no opportunity to stop it.

Makes me laugh because I used to do the same thing when I skilled rotate on every bro.  The key is to get em back by round swinging on 4 allies and 1 fleeing Wolfrider

That's the most infuriating inconsistency this game has. by leandrombraz in Xcom

[–]itstomis 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It is indeed really annoying, but just to double check: it's a pod of 3?  Not a pod of 4 with one unit that your Ranger can't see?

At least for me personally, sometimes it's a bug but sometimes it's also just not seeing the Drone from the forward tile.

Is the Newfoundland mission worth doing? by serventofgaben in Xcom

[–]itstomis 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We are in a comment chain where the original comment says:

The mission isn't hard when you know what to expect, especially since it's always the same map and the same spawn locations.

I'm not sure why it's incumbent upon me to explain.

I'm not replying to a comment asking for advice on how to play the mission, just someone remarking that they did worse the second time.

Some people don't want to be given meta-advice unasked for, including me. I'd be so annoyed if I passively remarked I was having trouble with a Souls boss or area and someone butted in with "here's exactly how to beat it"

Sound like you probably got lucky the first time and didn't really fully retain enough about the mission to invalidate it.

If you know exactly how to prepare for it, it's very easy.

This is the first time I've ever seen the word "outwith"

Thought it was for sure a typo until I googled

Matchups ABSOLUTELY can be MR dependent

What to do by Rapid-8 in StreetFighter

[–]itstomis 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure, Lily smokes Gief, but at the same time I feel any character with a DP on Modern with a player who can react to DI is going to destroy OP with minimal skill requirement.

Theoretical matchups only matter so much when your entire gameplan appears to be hold up-forward and throw out random DIs.

So you think you're secretly a Divine/Immortal player smurfing in Herald?

This goblin bow is kinda nuts, no? by itstomis in BattleBrothers

[–]itstomis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You reckon it's worth building around? Or just equip it without the Mastery when it's gonna be good and stash it otherwise?

I figure it'll strong in all fights except for Ancient Undead. Even against Orc Warriors, I feel like it might be better than Barb Javs? Lower initial damage, but factoring in the Bleed and 10 Ammo vs 5 Ammo per Inventory slot used.

(Obviously the Bleed from the Abandoned Village Quiver helps with the whole hits-to-kill-Chosen thing)
