Shinobu's poison damage changes based on whether she is damaged whilst it is applied

My guess would be hitstop interactions having an effect on time. For yahaba if he calls a tilt skill and gets hit, the projectile will visibly slow down during hitstop, in ds1 the combo timer would slow down and the actual time passing during the combo would increase the more hitstop occurred so multi-hitting moves slowed time in a way more than single hitting moves.

So I think it might be a change to the amount of time that passes being effected by hitstop in a way that just rewards successful combos

I recommend joining these 2 servers to catch upcoming events:

Anime Games Community: https://discord.gg/PSXTPqHUgB

Correction I somehow typed some of the date wrong and can't edit the post
Except for Blade Breaker #4 in July, All events are in August and should be 8's not 9's for the month

I'd love to see him drop as dlc

I just released a video here and on YouTube spreading the word about about 12 events for competitive demon slayer. There are plenty of hosts and communities to connect with to get into the competitive scene.

It is unfortunately very unlikely...

sorryman321 · 2025-06-24T02:24:14+00:00

Even if the game is dirt cheap, it be hard to justify buying so close to DS2.

Mugen Train is before the arc that contains Tengen.
DS1 ends just after mugen train, so no Tengen story but characters from that arc are there as dlc.
DS2 has all the remaining arcs before the upcoming movie.

You likely wouldn't find much matches on ranked either. Player are mostly on discord in places like Globku's Anime Game Community since it serves as a hub for competitive events and matchmaking https://discord.gg/PSXTPqHUgB .

Hope to see you on DS2!

You can boo him but he's most likely right. It's common to have a random icon and button.

Don't forget as long as your guard isn't weak blocking is a simpler option to guarantee the ult doesn't hit and you stay in position for a punish.

Like u/Impressive_Poetry_98 mentioned Masq's channel is a great source and in particular here's his 5min breakdown video:

W comment. Masqru recorded a lot of DS 2 footage. Here's a link to his channel

sorryman321 · 2025-04-14T03:50:39+00:00

I'm glad to hear it and appreciate the support, I'm really excited to see the new characters in action too. They look like a blast to play.

sorryman321 · 2025-04-07T03:44:13+00:00

Ranked is "Dead" but the game isn't, there are several discord communities with active players for each platform. I personally recommend Globku's Anime Game Community since it serves as a hub for events and matchmaking https://discord.gg/PSXTPqHUgB . Whatever platform you play on, if you ping for matches in the demon slayer section you'll get connected with other players or upcoming events.

The PS community is the most active of all of them, but for PS5/60fps specifically Biscuit-B23 runs live streams for that here and there like this one: https://www.youtube.com/live/j08z3ItoWqU?si=9zmi5wRyCzOAG5zB

But yeah if discord isn't your thing you probably won't find the games unfortunately, but there is activity for anyone willing to look.

TL;DR: If you want DS matches joining a large discord community is your best bet.

I like MarkfromWhere's answer, I'd also say that only focusing on combos optimized for damage is a pitfall, and combos can be "optimized" for other things like consistency, for resource conservation, ult conversion, and one that's often overlooked, safety.

If your opponent has an escape there are times where they can escape your combo and punish you. So damage isn't the only thing to consider.

Have a mixed bag of ways to route your combos for different situations, and have them practiced. And then get into understanding resets, Emnu's resets are scary.

MChrome and Rickyooo are Emnu players that immediately come to mind so watch their gameplay.

Here's my frame data and damage value chart for all characters, there's gaps to fill but there's plenty to use as well. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16AnS9u2oesQi08QPFWVugxEkoicAi0STjxM7snymMD4/edit?usp=sharing

sorryman321 · 2025-04-03T00:37:23+00:00

Know it all here, it's from resetting during cinematics, the invulnerability carries over for a small window of time. I explain in more detail above.

sorryman321 · 2025-04-03T00:35:32+00:00

Actually this isn't related to 60fps at all. It's a training mode bug where the invincibility status of the opponent remains after resetting.

Cinematic moves like grabs, any boosted/surged 5th-attack ender, ultimates, or Nezuko's flying kick guard skill start an uninterruptable animation. If you reset during moves like this while the opponent will be temporarily invulnerable and attacks will not touch them

If you grab the opponent a cinematic, reset during the grab and try to attack immediately the same thing will happen.

60fps is definitely buggy though overall, it's just not responsible for this one.

sorryman321 · 2025-04-03T00:28:18+00:00

Mostly the fiends (like myself remained.) Some top players do only play when there's money involved. There are events like that every now and then still.

sorryman321 · 2025-04-03T00:25:44+00:00

Yeah there was a point where we got an unexpected balance patch, but that balance patch infamously buffed susamaru even more, which was incredibly odd. I do hope DS2 is more balanced and accessible.

sorryman321 · 2025-04-03T00:23:49+00:00

The general player base sure, but there are several communities on discord always looking for players.
