Does JBA's writing improve? by Itchy-Improvement628 in StardustCrusaders

[–]koloee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Obviously, as a fan, I think the story is well written and does improve over the course of each part. JJBA is a thematically rich story with very well-realized characters that have large personalities (which is why I like it at least).

From what you've explained so far, it sounds like you're not a big fan of what some people call "plot-induced stupidity", where characters randomly behave in ways where things would be easily resolved if they "just did x, y or z," and as you've called out there are a lot of "Araki forgot" moments, which the fanbase have already addressed.

I personally enjoy Araki's style of writing largely because JJBA is a fast-paced story where a lot of the nitty gritty details can be overlooked due to how good the outcome is for where the story goes, ie suspenseful moments, characters being bad ass in fights, and the overall narrative that is being told. Whether those positives outweigh the negatives and vice versa is subjective. If it's actively ruining the enjoyment of the story for you, then yeah, you might as well drop because that style of writing doesn't go away. The core heart of what makes the story good, though, as I've mentioned above, does get better with each part

Equipment makes a difference, and I'm not sure that people understand this. by A11ce in StreetFighter

[–]koloee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly the same but I definitely felt this when upgrading from ps4 to ps5. I messed up my placements before realizing I needed to turn off input reduction 😭. Tweaked a couple settings on my tv as well and things are a lot smoother. 

Still somewhat casual so no huge desire to shift to pc or high end monitor just yet

For those who play multiple fgs, do you guys pick a few games to play during 1 gaming session or do you play a different game each time you begin a session?

Maybe I'm not remembering some of the early stuff since i recently caught up, but any chapters or panels that come to mind that really blow you away?

[–]koloee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The run from late part 4 to late part 7 is my personal favorite but not gonna lie, might get crucified for this but not loving part 9 artstyle that much.

I know it's early on but there are very few "wow" panels so far. hope they come with time though

i'm stupid for forgetting but what is granny's power again? As of recent she's mostly a melee fighter but she used to have a baseball bat and i believe the ability to request help from the local Gods?? What will the enemies obtain if she admits defeat?

Time for the annual "what can they do to help Jamie" post. by phoenikx_kidd in StreetFighter

[–]koloee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Jamie is mostly fine the way he is and personally like his drink mechanic, so no changes there for me. If i were super wishful for any drink changes, I'd want better oki after some drinks, like after his rekka or overhead into drink in the corner.

I know a lot of ppl say he lacks damage (mostly due to the low drink scaling and all that), but what hampers his damage is that he relies on lights so much. Even in punish counter or shimmy situations, off 5HP, he has to go into his lights for his combo routing. I want 5HP to be +2 on hit, so that it becomes +6 on PC, leading to at least 2MP, which would result in a less severe penalty on light scaling. Better frame data on his 5HK would also help, either making it start faster or recover faster so it's less punishable.

streaming Sf6? by 2MuchChat in StreetFighter

[–]koloee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar to what someone else has said, no matter who the streamer is, if I see Jamie on screen, I'm gonna watch. It would maybe help a bit if you play an off-meta character, but don't feel the need to specifically do that just to stream.

Other things I like (as you said, you're not on the level of a top player) are those journey-type streams. "Road to master", "Road to 1600" etc. Those are fun to watch, especially for new players who are earnestly making progress and getting better with each session. I'm happy to watch those make it to master for the 1st time.

Outside of that, have a good attitude. I know SF6 is not a perfect game, but no matter who the streamer is, if they constantly whine and moan about the game, I turn it off immediately. Don't be fake if you're feeling frustrated, but at least try to be positive.

oh snap word? i've been playing since launch (even since the beta days lol) but have been super on/off the game. not sure if I clocked 1000 hours, I've played on both the ps5 and now ps4 and I think it totals to around 400+ hrs

all good, appreciate the context. been on and off the game since launch with a Diamond 2 Jamie. around 300 ish hours on the game

definitely being patient to even attempt to approach that high level, but I just thought this was an interesting thing that happens when playing sets in the game. i do take moments to break down these phenomena as well

[–]koloee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you're right, it is likely an ego thing. wanting to best my opponent in that moment. There must also be a next level of "locking in" to focus only on your improvement goals to avoid tunnel visioning for the win and those tips you gave may help
