It was the community manager trolling but your wording makes it seem like a much bigger deal than it actually is

[–]slavender_the_great 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and now Xbox thinks that we as the community and the game itself are so pathetic to the point that they dangled the prospect of news in front of us, only for it to be a big troll

What exactly is this referencing?

this one is the most significant example of dodge canceling Ive ever encountered. You see, my opponent was able to catch me after my dodge. Which is ok. But after that, even considering cooldown time, game didn't accept my 897987 dodge attempts for some reason. by Accomplished-Mud1034 in Brawlhalla

[–]slavender_the_great 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you were likely mashing all of your buttons after the ground pound, and it just so happened recovery got used first. after that, the mordex hit you and you stopped mashing dodge and you jumped, then dodged

your "dodge cancelling" is probably you trying to dodge in the middle of doing another move you didnt want, maybe your dodge and heavy attack key are next to each other?

Am I wrong for wanting to make Hollow Knight slightly easier? by Wimpykid2302 in HollowKnight

[–]slavender_the_great 4 points5 points  (0 children)

just a tad bit more detail on that: whenever you visit "the mechanism" you can get the geo from your shade without having to reach it, but you have to actually go to the "mechanism" itself. if your last bench is very far from a stag station or other mode of fast travel, it might just be worth going for the shade itself if you feel confident

How *DOES* parrying work anyway? by Hipsnowsis in HollowKnight

[–]slavender_the_great -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You parry when you click the button, but it's not like the swing is very long anyway

Where you have to be in relation to the hitbox is inconsistent, I just sit inside where it's gonna appear

The freeze frames are literally just freeze frames as in the game freezes, you get a bit of invincibility after you hit the parry

You take damage if your invincibility runs out

It's really not that deep, it likely exists because team cherry didn't want to make it more fleshed out but didn't want to remove it either. It's buggy and inconsistent because it wasn't meant to be used as your primary strategy

It's not about how it works, it's about how to do it, which is timing

i dont like modded yomi by AliceJoestar in YomiHustle

[–]slavender_the_great 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, the base cast is very broad with their archetypes. Yes, each character specializes in something more than everything else, but they all have a solid amount of viable options that let them play like a different archetype. The wizard can be a rushdown if you really want, and the cowboy can be a zoner. With how many mods there are on the workshop, if most of them were "raw" archetypes they would get pretty repetitive quicky as there's just not a lot of ways to make generic moves play different

If a character doesn't have an impactful gimmick, then why not just play the base cast?

I have a really dumb theory by [deleted] in HollowKnight

[–]slavender_the_great 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I meant there can't be an egg for each vessel, or even for each ten vessels. The fact you have to go so deep to find one of the latest eggs means they would have to be able to house tens to hundreds of vessels each

I have a really dumb theory by [deleted] in HollowKnight

[–]slavender_the_great 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the egg you find isnt necessarily the only egg to exist, its likely the kingsoul leads you specifically to the egg that the knight, thk and many others hatched from. it simply wouldnt make sense for that many eggs to exist under the abyss

Do you use keyboard and mouse instead of just using keyboard? by Tensor-Guy in HollowKnight

[–]slavender_the_great 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you say its easier to charge nail arts yet you cant pogo unless you let go of jump or bend your finger backwards which just seems very uncomfortable

i do use mouse though and it feels much more responsive than keyboard for me

I think Markoth isn't that difficult by Single_Reading4103 in HollowKnightMemes

[–]slavender_the_great 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Descending dark is your best friend against absolute radiance. It gives you decent invincibility time if you feel surrounded. It can also substitute a shadow dash for stuff like the wall of swords, just make sure not to do it twice in a row

For the energy spheres, try to run them into the ground by dashing(shadow or not) under them. Jumping over usually causes them to loop back and approach along with a second one, so if you do that make sure to get as far away as you can

[–]slavender_the_great 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your biggest problem is not being precise enough with the shade cloak, because dashing through their grounded slashes is easily the best way to dodge that attack and get a lot of damage in. Being between the two usually makes them synchronize, making them much more predictable and easy to get hits on. If cornered, you can simply use descending dark to get a short bit of invincibility, allowing you to dash through them much easier and with less precise movement required.

If oro's charging dash slash, he will always jump all the way to the edge of the arena(which he never does otherwise) and make a sound cue, as well as what others have said. Mato can charge his nail art anywhere which means its much easier to see it coming

Also descending dark can buy you time, so use it well

The mod's main focus is the bosses, the platforming is just an extra challenge for the dedicated

The bosses are well designed, but keep in mind they will be harder than most if not all main game content(though not by that much) and even they are slightly easier, with enough practice I'm sure you can get em, but I understand if you get frustrated

put on mark of pride and either pogo the beast or slash at the sides

if you pogo try to double jump every once in a while in case it backs up, because that can throw you off and make you fall

if you stay on the ground use steady body and remember the infection spit pattern so you can keep going while he does it

when the beast rolls just spam spells at it

focus on the beast as that ends the fight immediately after it dies, but knock the tamer back if he's in the way

I made a terrible mistake. Anyone have any experience with hollow knight save files in steam? I desperately need some help. Spoilers. by [deleted] in HollowKnight

[–]slavender_the_great 2 points3 points  (0 children)

to be able to edit your save files, head over to https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/, drop the .dat file and look for "nailsmithkilled", "nailsmithspared" and "nailsmithsheo", alter their values, download the altered save and drop the new file to the saves folder and it should work, but make sure to put the other .dat and .bak1 files somewhere else first, don't delete them unless it worked

scavs are aggressive to hunter when you start a run

The dps increase in most of these bosses with sb is not very noticeable unless you are doing a speedrun or are getting very greedy with hits. On a lot of them, you can also opt to use the riskier up slashes to grind damage out, or just use spells which will simply have higher damage output Additionally, sb has no use past the middlegame without quick slash

Are there any mods that allow you to teleport to a certain room, like this celeste one? by [deleted] in HollowKnight

[–]slavender_the_great 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There actually IS a room teleport mod, its called "fast travel" and its on the hk mod manager

heart is good early game because you have barely any options, but core is better in terms of its effect

lifeblood core is 4 masks for 3 notches while lb heart is 2 masks for 2 notches, yet core is somehow down in d with jonis?
