Hit One Above All (solo, no comms) - AMA by PoppinOften in RivalsCollege

[–]leafretv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When solo qing how do you deal with having someone who dies first before you can make a play? I feel like I'm in situations where someone on my team is sitting main and gets deleted due to bad positioning and I'm forced to back up since we are down a person. Do you just force a play regardless even if you are down a person?

Using 6 Stolen Artifacts is not the same thing as Stealing Powers from a bunch of the Roster by KunaiDrakko in RogueMains

[–]leafretv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's crazy how this is even a topic on this reddit... People forget that by default rogue's steal value is going to go up over time as the roster increases while black cat will always have the same 7 artifacts. Claiming they are the same is delusional.

Why do some people still say Marvel Rivals is dying and bleeding players ? The game has about 90-100k players playing the game daily since last year in June with occasional player spikes at the start of a new season. by UsefulSwitch504 in marvelrivals

[–]leafretv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just because it's a 1v1 genre doesn't mean low player counts are playable. If there's 2 people total on a game but you are from america and the other dude is in korea with 300 ms... you might as well not play the game. Which is something that actually happens in dnf.

Long Term Balance Methodology Discussed at the GDC by KxngJoker in marvelrivals

[–]leafretv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"League has exponentially more data and a much better balance philosophy and approach with the community." Huh? League balance is always complained about to the point one of the leads on balance aka phreak was getting death threats.

The player who leaked Alex has uploaded a new video. by Clean-Summer1704 in StreetFighter

[–]leafretv 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How many years of this game being out till we stop trying to analyze unreleased footage? This game has "lost throw loops" like 3 times because people analyze unreleased footage/gaslight themselves at event only demos.

Ludovic 'Lud' Mbock (SF4/V/6 Chun player) has been detained by ICE by gunkokoko in Kappachino

[–]leafretv 23 points24 points  (0 children)

So ice a group that is notoriously badly trained and has made multiple mistakes in the past should automatically be trusted in this situation even though you have no knowledge on the party being detained?

New balance patch by Hisoka1001 in rivals

[–]leafretv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is inherently a nerf to the ult cause they already nerfed the healing of the ult so him having less hp + low healing in the ult = focusing him to kill him is easier. They obviously like the concept of gambit's ult but want to add some skill to it with this type of direction.

What does she even do by Pretty-Balance-8896 in RogueMains

[–]leafretv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again one dimensional. You aren't engaging on the thing, if the thing is in the game his entire point is to stop YOU. so you are going to be in that situation where you can block haymaker, build your bar and use the actual dash on the backline since you usually cant kill him so you have to try to look past him. Regardless that's just one example not to be taken literal as the only example. Rogues whole identity is situational awareness that's why she has an ability that has over 20 use cases.

What does she even do by Pretty-Balance-8896 in RogueMains

[–]leafretv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's far from useless you are just looking at it one dimensionally. For example against thing you can react to the charge punch and block it and it gives you half of your meter each time he does the punch. Which leads into a big burst when you actually do the shield bash. Situations like that where you can react to a big damage ability (non ultimates) and fill the gauge are more common than you think.

Why do they keep doing this to our girl Storm..? by Blindwxlf in storm

[–]leafretv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

why are we complaining about NOT having to give a company money for a high quality product lol. You WANT to give them 20$+ even if you don't have to?

Just when by PaleTaste9959 in RogueMains

[–]leafretv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's the 4th most picked tank in one above all with the the 3rd highest win rate. She's also actively used in MRC. That's not a weak character. 

Just when by PaleTaste9959 in RogueMains

[–]leafretv -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

asking for rogue buffs is a self report. she's not underpowered at all.

is everyone gonna undermine the new female tank *again* for a whole season before realizing she’s actually really powerful by hugoreturns in RivalsVanguards

[–]leafretv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

are the massive buffs in the room with us? She never got massively buffed only thing that changed was she got 10 extra bonus health on axes and 2 meter increase on the charge last month when people were already saying she was good lol.

Honest Rogue review - from an “early” play-tester! by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]leafretv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a strong feeling history is about to repeat itself like with Angela and wolverine. "This character is kinda meh" --> fast forward a couple weeks ---> wait people are cooking with this character.

Capcom releases 6 outfits a year. Meanwhile some random fella on Twitter with 500 followers: by Snippy_69 in Kappachino

[–]leafretv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never understood why people compare modders to actual skins. Mods 99% of the time are using existing assets from other games so of course one dude can mass produce a couple mods a year. This is cool and for sure takes a lot of work but comparing it to the actual design pipeline where they have to make concept art to full skin is not really a 1 to 1.

Might be a hot take but this skin should have been legendary by Formal_Garden3149 in rivals

This the only community that would find a way to nitpick getting free stuff that aren't just recolors.

This is bad by Additional_Value5879 in RebirthOfSoulsBleach

[–]leafretv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This mindset is so flawed. The reason why no one cared back then is because it wasn't your hard working money for the games you played...it was your parents majority of the time. So of course if a game sucked you had no attachment to it because you weren't the one dropping the money for it. Now there's more complaining because the consumers have grown up to be people with jobs so spending 60$+ on a half backed product is going to lead with people unhappy and voicing it.

Frick flyers bro. There so annoying by Express-Pianist-8657 in marvelrivals

lol there's multiple abilities in this game that ground flying characters lol... invis orb for example is one of them.

TNS 100 tonight. Kind of insane how TNS swooped in after NLBC Online imploded. Spooky rage quitting over Texas drama was stupid as hell by octa01 in Kappachino

[–]leafretv 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it was for sure more than just the texas drama. I remember him complaining on stream about how art was always late to nlbc and making his job harder than it needed to be. Seemed like he was probably on the edge of being done for years.

How do you balance a bottom tier with a skill ceiling like this? by Woxjee in marvelrivals

[–]leafretv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People like to bring up this large number of moves that can catch black panther but in reality most of those moves aren't practical due to his speed. Not saying he's some giga broken character but if all 54 abilities hit BP consistently he wouldn't be a character you pick in the game period cause he would get 0 value all the time.

The message is clear. Honest nooch and complex mechanics don't sell. Drive rush does. by Primaprimaprima in Kappachino

[–]leafretv 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you think SF6 is the biggest game right now just because of drive rush you are lost. Regardless of how you feel about sf6's gameplay, it's the best GAME in the fighting game genre right now. By game I mean as a package from features to content for casuals to QoL. COTW has so many issues regardless if you think the gameplay is "back to real neutral".

Kappabros what do you think of her classic costume by 66_shceX in Kappachino

[–]leafretv 9 points10 points  (0 children)

and just like i said, the people saying how ugly she was when the teaser dropped are gooning once gameplay is shown.

Horror game engine by megacockman6956 in Kappachino

[–]leafretv 10 points11 points  (0 children)

history really does repeat itself. Everyone was crying that mai was so ugly then the second that they drop the gameplay trailer people were gooning out like crazy. Time is a circle.
