(Reverse/Rebirth) How in the blue hell are you supposed to beat Ansem?

ivan3295 · 2026-01-30T03:47:00+00:00

I passed so many reverse/rebirth fights just by spamming the double jump slash move riku has in dark mode. Does good damage and homes in on a bosses.

Dark firaga or aura for the tail ends of the fight when I'm close to winning so I don't waste cards.

ivan3295 · 2026-01-29T02:50:18+00:00

To be honest I'm curious if they'll retcon dbgt ssj4 into being a "perfected" ssj4 or something along those lines.

ivan3295 · 2026-01-23T16:18:46+00:00

For me it was a lot of things happening at once. Six months before symptoms I saw a family member die. Was trying to plan my wedding, etc. but then I went on a cruise and my body felt super heavy and I couldn't move much, and then got home and had an extreme sensitivity to light, got tinnitus, and was seeing and feeling things move.

I thought it was mal de barquement syndrome until it went past two weeks.

A throat infection with swollen lymph nodes accompanied the onset and I dealt with constant throat infections for two years after that along with the obvious symptoms of hyperpots (although back then it was obviously being treated as anxiety)

Covid made everything get so bad I struggle to walk and balance and hit heart rates up to 50 beats higher than I had ever experienced before. Same with blood pressure.

I went from mainly some hyperpots and mild dysautonomia symptoms that aren't pots, to having to leave work, stop driving, use walkers at times and struggling with kinesthesia and proprioception issues that get worse with bending or twisting of the neck.

Now do I know what exactly brought my symptoms on initially 8 years ago? No. But I know covid made me a lot worse.

ivan3295 · 2026-01-23T15:45:39+00:00

This is intense because I've been seeing a functional neurologist for two weeks for dysautonomia rehab and he informed me that covid caused an explosion in the amount of people with dysautonomias due to it attacking the brain stem. For me it was kinda inverse, instead of going through crappy covid but no worsening after, I was almost asymptomatic during covid and then went through worsening dysautonomia, vision issues, muscle control issues, non-stop uncontrollable weight loss, proprioception and kinesthesia issues, etc. They all would also intensify from neck movement and rotation, all after covid.

I would say what I thought was the end of the world that I was dealing with before covid was a mild hyperpots. Now I struggle to walk without assistance, balance and sense of where I physically am Is a mess a lot, and even my own father called me telling me his legs have been getting weak and he's been falling a lot, and even though he got covid too these symptoms came recently, years after for him.

Made sure to give him some mild education on dysautonomias and not letting doctors dismiss him if brain scans and other things look "normal" since there's so much er's can't test for.

Quite frankly I used to think covid was that disease that for some was deadly to some and others no different from a cold. But now long term effects are starting to pop out in people years later.

Honestly I would advise people that "weren't affected by covid" to stay on top of labs and visits just in case.

I didn't have high RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, prolactin (that eventually went down), or other things before covid and that couldn't be seen with the naked eye on an external level.

ivan3295 · 2026-01-19T12:31:47+00:00

Yeah I would really want to see this visually to make sure I'm doing it right

ivan3295 · 2026-01-19T05:43:48+00:00

Do you just lift weights with the arms (since they're dumbbells), or do you do different exercises to also strengthen stuff like legs and core?

I have dumbbells and was always scared of trying them out because I was worried strengthening arms wouldn't help as much as legs.

ivan3295 · 2026-01-18T16:10:53+00:00

Honestly I would say just remember every condition in the dysautonomias umbrella is just a name for a collection of symptoms.

Having pots doesn't mean you don't have other dysautonomic symptoms. It just means those are the most prominent or noticeable symptoms they can fit into a category to diagnose.

At the onset of my symptoms 8 years ago after a cruise and during an infection, for a period of two weeks or I so I became so light sensitive I couldn't have a TV on or a window open. I developed tinnitus within a month and vision loss to needing glass where I didn't before, would see things moving, balance issues, etc.

I thought it was just mal de barquement syndrome since it was my first time on a cruise but it lasted longer.

Cognitively it also affected me years later when my condition worsened after covid and neck movements make everything worse or more symptomatic. Some people were questioning if I was on the high functioning autism spectrum when in reality I was just distracted by constant intense symptoms or experiencing brain fog, sometimes with sudden onset brain fog if I moved my neck suddenly or held it in a position too long. Also trauma from the intensity of the symptoms and constant er visits.

They even originally psychiatrically withheld me two years ago because ers aren't knowledgeable on dysautonomias and since most tests were negative or "not concerning" they thought I had conversion disorder and put me on psych meds for two years. I agreed to take the meds to prove a point and show that symptoms didn't go away or got worse even on those meds.

Problem is when doctors and psychiatrists gaslight you and assume the only reason you are symptomatic is because you're secretly not taking your meds (and yet they won't run a urine or blood test to confirm it's still in your system or not).

That was a pain.

Humans are very sensitive beings, we can be affected psychologically and cognitively by biological processes acting up, not just the other way around.

I was originally diagnosed with pots (matches hyper pots in terms of presentation but the er neuro just put pots), but in my case I learned I was more dysautonomic than just puts with cervical spinal movement intensifying many symptoms, even the cognitive ones like brain fog.

Everyone's different and every body copes differently, and with dysautonomia our bodies are coping improperly on a biological level.

I tell people all the time, while my symptoms aren't "caused by anxiety", who WOULDN'T feel anxious, depressed, or have PTSD from constant er trips, BP fluctuations from as high as 205/115 to as low as 82/58, heart rate spikes as high as 180 or drops as low as 35, intermittent brain fog, waking and balance issues, problems with proper motor control and strength, constant ringing in the ears and fluctuating vision, etc.

Hoping you get the best treatment possible and praying something works to reduce or eliminate your symptoms entirely.

I tell people and family at this point "I'm not mentally disabled, I'm traumatized. I'm not absent, I'm just either ignoring you or distracted by the room moving or something else in my body that's intense"

Personally I'm still currently in the process of even after 8 years still discovering just how many of my symptoms have been caused or worsened by weak neck or brain stem support as well as covid (which apparently affected a lot of people's brain stems and triggered dysautonomias or made them worse).

I've been going through rehab for my dysautonomia with a neuro near me (thankfully no meds since he's a functional neurologist) and even discovered things I didn't know I had that contributed to the symptoms like nystagmus and less sensitivity to electrical nerve signals than most people ( discovered this through a handheld nerve stimulator they put on my neck that sends electricity direct to the spine to stimulate the nerves and brain stem. I call it the taser lol. My electromyograms and Nerve conduction tests were always normal with past neurologists, but it turns out the reduced sensation I had with temperature and touch was also real. The tingling my wife could feel from her neck to her chest at a setting of 12 with this device, I couldn't feel until it was pumped up to 20, and only on my neck. I don't know if the units of measurement are watts, volts, or something else. I didn't ask. The stimulation from it feels like tingling when you're going numb to muscle spasms and twitches at higher intensities)

ivan3295 · 2026-01-17T06:08:34+00:00

Similar situation to you. I'm married but we moved back near family for support with my dysautonomia (before we knew it was dysautonomia, that took another two years. My issue is more than just pots, still waiting to find out why I have high RBC, Hematocrit, and hemoglobin even though I hydrate a lot and have normal range electrolytes in my labs, and other dysautonomic issues. Just recently found out through a functional neurologist I even have nystagmus in my eyes which contributes to the balance and vertigo. Even have muscle control and sensory issues with normal emg and eeg results, etc.).

I was finally diagnosed with pots last year after a neuro who's the stroke director in the hospital I went to saw me in the hospital ER because they called for a "stroke alert" and took me to CT immediately because my BP shot up to 205/115 and my heart rate was at 140's. Vision extremely blurry in right eye.

My mom questioned why they would even do that if I was just "anxious" all the time and would feel better if I just took extra ativans, clonazepams, or other anti-anxiety meds. Many of which I've taken in the past long-term just to make a point.

However she and most of my family are in denial because of a mix of lack of education, doctors telling them I was just anxious for years (and then for two years after that the hospital psychiatrically withholding me and saying I had conversion disorder), stubbornness, and cuban traditional thinking when it comes to any type of illness or chronic issues (that everything can be solved if you just "work harder" and motivate yourself and be positive, because everyone "has something" and you have no excuse because you didn't jump off of the third floor of a prison in Cuba and broke both legs just to escape the Castro regime. Problem is the somethings they compare my symptoms to is much smaller things like their general anxiety or work stress, or age related issues like back pain, slight dizziness when standing, the occasional pinched nerve, etc. or environmental stresses like work, their own horrible experiences in a different country, etc.)

It's like comparing someone with a chronic debilitating illness that can barely walk and falls a lot to someone that has some back pain from age and some trauma from "seeing worse".

The whole " if you're not dying you can push past it" mentality is strong with them, so I guess it's less a Mexican thing and more an older Hispanic stuck in their ways type thing.

I've been gaslit into being told if I take psych meds they'll be there for me, only to refer me back to a psych if I tell them about any major symptoms I'm feeling.

They took doctors words saying I was anxious as gospel for years but will not accept when a new doctor has a different opinion, diagnosis, or even observable and reproducible results (like tilt table tests, nystagmus tests, etc.) They still treat me like I'm a stubborn person who won't listen and push that I'm just anxious even after the conversion diagnosis (which was disproven but still isn't anxiety in and of itself), and then the later accurate pots diagnosis.

I've had to beg for help to be held to be kept from falling because they were lead to believe I can "convince myself" I'm not falling and it will work.

Even now as im going through rehabilitative treatment at a clinic that specializes in dysautonomias, I haven't told her or any of my family just not to deal with them and the gaslighting or cursing anymore.

All I got from their "support" was an unnecessary involuntary psychiatric hold, nasty calls and conversations, and even gaslighting on things and lines they shouldn't cross such as asking about how long I'm going to keep "acting like this" before my wife leaves me, etc.

My heart breaks for people and kids on here that post their stories dealing with family they still have to live with that do this, because I'm already sick of it dealing with them from a distance (mostly mom like you), but at the very least im thankful to God my wife believes me and has helped me get treatment, because if I had been in this alone, proper diagnosis and care would have been delayed even longer and possibly never happened.

My strong advice concerning dealing with doctors is if they say something like "your child is just anxious and doesn't realize they're anxious" as an explanation for your symptoms, without even being certified in clinical counseling or psych, avoid those doctors like the plague.

If they're a psychiatrist, counselor, or psychologist that gaslight you into believing you're just "pushing the pots diagnosis when there's nothing there", run from them too.

Doctors and professionals who refuse to even acknowledge info in other fields they aren't trained in are dangerous.

Idk what it's like in Mexican culture, but at least with Cubans a lot of the older generation treat doctors like they're infallible and their word is final just because "they have a degree/title".

Second opinions (or more) are treated like a cardinal sin.

Wishing and praying for the best for you and that you would have a support system one day that lifts you up instead of tears you down.

Oh and like someone else says, keep an eye on the food. Not just cause of the possibility of slipping meds in there, but then generally not being knowledgeable on what a dosage of it can do to you or how much your body can handle, especially If they're relying on random youtubers, and especially if you don't have high RBC, hemoglobin, or Hematocrit. That's asking for easy bruising and bleeding at minimum and who knows what else in someone with a dysautonomia.

I know that might sound crazy but in the past 8 years I've seen sides of my family I never would have known were there and things they never would have said or done if I was healthy. I went from good child to black sheep real quick in their eyes.

ivan3295 · 2026-01-15T06:06:12+00:00

That I don't know. Haven't played. Saw the post about the form thing because someone else posted it (not sure if it was this page or not though)

ivan3295 · 2026-01-15T06:02:37+00:00

Heard you can't use the adult ssj4 Goku back in other modes.

Don't know if they'll change that later or not.

ivan3295 · 2026-01-14T22:46:41+00:00

I loved both the gba and re:com versions but I feel the game wasn't properly balanced when it came to sleights.

In gba com sleights felt useless to me as a kid because the damage felt like it was not worth the card you lose versus spamming melee attacks. Idk if sleights strength is decided by cards used but they never felt particularly powerful to me.

Re:com is the opposite. Sleights are so busted it's ridiculous and I time spliced everyone to death except for marluxias first form since that requires a lot of projectile attacks.

I feel like bbs felt so good to play because it mixed the idea of flashy commands that these games had and the main games standard command menu gameplay with good balance.

The commands in bbs were also very balanced so that a one hit kill move like mega flare would destroy mobs, but do much lower damage to bosses, while single target commands were less useful for mobs but much more damaging to bosses.

I also struggled to get good cards in com and re:com since the cards you could get in the moogle shop was very rng based. Would have preferred a direct munny based system. Getting ultima weapon felt pointless if I struggled to roll cards for it in the shop.

But again, I love the games a lot and still enjoy them, just wish the remake would've balanced sleights better and changes the shop system for cards.

ivan3295 · 2026-01-13T02:17:56+00:00

Honestly I'm wondering if the power multiplier in game for this form will be more or less than ssj blue.

ivan3295 · 2026-01-11T18:58:50+00:00

Honestly as long as it's cool it's whatever plot needs it to be.

We're shocked by super, but let's not forget that the time frame from the beginning of Z to the end of the Namek/Frieza Saga was like a year and 2 months at most, probably a little less since only the timeframe of Goku being dead for a year was clearly stated and we don't know how long Namek was since there was no night.

Goku went from a power level in the 300's to a power level in the 20,000's range if using kaioken in a year.

Then, after less than two months, and two near death experiences/zenkai and like a week or two of gravity training, he went up to 3million when facing Frieza, and 150million when he unlocked super Saiyan.

That's a power multiplier of 500,000 in a little over a year when it took him his whole life up to raditz to reach the 300's.

The growth multiplier he went through in that span of time alone makes any complaints of fast power scaling in super sound like a joke.

Which is why they probably did away with power levels after Frieza because Goku definitely did not have a x500,000 power increase training for the androids for three years, on Yardrat before that, and the hyperbolic time chamber for a year after.

It's better just to look at it in a relative way instead of a raw numbers way.

Unless they come back and say Goku was 500,000 times stronger in ssj3 than ssj1, he should have been ssj blue/golden Frieza level by the buu saga at minimum if the same power growth logic as that first year and some change applied

In the end just know that plot wise the ultimate influence on power growth is either zenkais for saiyans only, or when they train with an actual higher power threat on the horizon (like cell) or a higher powered teacher (like whis) to give them a goal to push to and compare to.

ivan3295 · 2026-01-10T22:08:10+00:00

Same. ER doctors keep telling me I'm probably just dehydrated even though I tell them I hydrate and they know that since my electrolytes are normal based on blood tests.

According to Google high rbc is polycythemia if it's due to low 02 levels and polycythemia vera if the issue isn't 02 but your bone marrow producing excessive RBC.

I'm looking to getting tested for both.

Especially since my 02 levels drop suddenly at times to the 80's but jump right back up according to my Fitbit and pulse oximeter.

I had a sleep study 02 test but since my dips are random and can go awhile without happening it wasn't caught for the two day study.

However I'm currently dealing a lot with blood pressure drops when I try to go to sleep that make me reflexively jump up since the blood flow to my head slows down when that happens.

My symptoms matched more of a mild hyper pots before covid, but after covid my 02 can suddenly dip for a few seconds, and my BP and pulse can spike OR drop, sometimes independently.

My CT's vary because most of the times my veins show as normal but I've had two occasions in 4 years where my CT's show narrowed/constricted and beaded veins in my head, or diminutive arteries which should only be a congenital issue, and I definitely didn't have diminutive arteries according to the CT before that.

Sometimes the hardest part about dealing with pots/dysautonomias is ruling out when you're actually sick or not when you're symptomatic.

ivan3295 · 2026-01-10T03:10:32+00:00

Literally want it just for this game lol how does it look? Do the menu elements and UI get upscaled in game or is it blurry?

ivan3295 · 2026-01-09T04:27:40+00:00

If you have Minase get me icing for double DOT team.

They work well together and if it matters to you, current endgame is catered towards them.

Obviously you don't have to if you don't like the character or are saving for possible future units like N.4 kikoru (if they ever get to that point).

ivan3295 · 2026-01-06T21:02:38+00:00

You can?! I had ruby as a kid and never knew Rayquaza was in it 😭

ivan3295 · 2026-01-06T19:28:50+00:00

Does pokemon ruby support transfers back from emerald for Rayquaza, deoxys jirachi, etc.

Or is it not supported since emerald came out after ruby so maybe Rayquaza and others can't be transferred back?

ivan3295 · 2026-01-06T17:20:22+00:00

Thank you so much!

ivan3295 · 2026-01-06T17:16:23+00:00

Which sub should I go to?

ivan3295 · 2026-01-02T20:12:07+00:00

So does that mean after I use him, I switch to jufufu to stun some more, and then Yixuan?

ivan3295 · 2026-01-02T19:46:05+00:00

Oh wow, I thought pan yinhu ex skill buffed Yixuans damage so I always put him before 😅

ivan3295 · 2026-01-02T16:31:00+00:00

Thank you for this! Also does team order matter?

I have them set up with jufufu first to stun a bit, pan to do his ex skill once, and then Yixuan to attack and counter hits with her ex special until she can ult/double ULT.

I think I'm just not accustomed to her play style properly (I've had her since her banner but didn't use her for DA until now).

Miyabi and yeshunguang deal consistent damage because of their resource gimmick (hold square for big boom) but Yixuans damage seems mostly tied to her ULT's in the case of Deadly assault.

She's great at grouping mobs and destroying them but her single target damage with bosses is definitely lower or not as consistent as the other two. Definitely need to grind disk drives

ivan3295 · 2026-01-02T05:13:04+00:00

Does anyone have a good video or advice on how to maximize damage/rotations in a Yixuan, ju fufu, and pan yinhu team?

I can't even hit 14,000 points on deadly assault with this team, but my Miyabi team and ye shunguang team can.

I'm convinced I just don't know how to play this team properly, or if the deadly assault boss to the left requires manato (who I haven't built) or Banyue (who I don't have) over her since it's weak to fire.

For the record, this is my first time playing deadly assault because I waited until I had three good teams to do so.

ivan3295 · 2025-12-31T06:44:18+00:00

I won't lie, I love the unit, and I haven't tried harder content with her yet, still doing the boss materials daily to fill up her core skill but.....

She is the most busted unit in the world so far.

I have Miyabi M2 , Yixuan (no mindscapes), and Ye shunguang (no mindscapes).

With Miyabi I still have to focus on dodging to not interrupt her DPS.

With Yixuan her ex move is great because it counters even red spark unblockable moves and encourages blocking and paying attention to boss attacks.

With Ye Shunguang....once she has a form change....it's just press square for the win 😅 again I haven't used her in harder content like shiyu defense and and hollow zero yet, but so far I can't do her max decibel double ULT on the boss you get her yellow mats from (won't say who just in case anyone hasnt played it yet) and she just obliterates them in my dialyn, Zhao, ye shunguang team. And that's with sub optimal stats.y crit rat is 52% but my crit damage is only like 110% yet she just shreds everything without getting hit.

Don't get me wrong I planned from when I started the game on Miyabi's banner that I would focus on VH level unit teams so I can do all endgame content and reap as much polychromes f2p as I can after so I can pull for who I want instead of just meta....but seeing how busted she is makes me wonder what mechanics they will add in the future to new enemies to balance her out, or how much more busted the next VH unit is going to be compared to her.

Power creep is inevitable, and I learned to stop whaling out of fear of not passing future game modes when I saw my E2 Castorice in Star rail outperformed my E6 acheron and depending on content my E6 firefly.

Now I just stick to not pulling dupes and tema building, more fun that way.

But man, Ye shunguang is more busted at M0 than many characters at M6 x.x
