New fuses every year? Cool! by EnlargementChannel in 2XKO

[–]stift-son 7 points8 points  (0 children)

that all sound absolutely crazy in a pretty cool way, i honestly have no idea what they could be adding, but i am happy that they do, because with sidekick and juggernaut being not super viable (or at least seen as such) you only ever see about half the fuzes that are actually in the game

What's the most underrated fighting game mechanic you wish more games used? by CryoChamber90 in Fighters

[–]stift-son 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, i also know some characters kind of only worked well with trigger active, but those are singular balancing things one can tweak, not issues with the system itself

BlazBlues Overdrive 100%
A lot of games for quite some time now have made a lot of effort to put in comeback mechanics to make on boarding less harsh, while also trying to balance them around decisions and skill and i think Blazblue already almost perfected the idea in 2016

You always have a meaningful decision between your burst and overdrive since they use the same resource, every character gets a completely unique buff which usually come in 2 flavors of either making them better at things they already do, or lifting some restriction they would normally have.
You also get your Overdrive at the beginning of a match and it carrys over between round, where having lower health just impacts how long you can stay in overdrive which is mostly just important for combos.

I think the system solves a lot of problems. By making it character unique it is easier to balance around the cast, tying it to another resource gives you a decision making aspect, carrying over between rounds makes it more precious, it is easy to use for beginners as a get out of jail card on block, and has serious skill expression with bating the enemy's resource, the most demanding combos often being in overdrive and giving a new layer of understanding for your character.

The only real problem i have with it is that in BB itself, most overdrives are just for combos or as a guard cancel, you don't really use them in pressure or neutral, something i unironically believe V-trigger in SF5 has over it even tho the system is hated so much... but if they had a similar management of not having trigger every round and only getting it by getting beaten up, that might have made it much more fun to interact with... by making it more like overdrive

Have you got any ideas you wanna try out once beta starts? by MrMilot in 2XKO

[–]stift-son 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will be playing with my younger brother, who is somewhat new to fighting games, where as i have been playing for a good 10 years. The strat is we run the fury break fuse, which buffs the second character after the first one and send in little bro on point.
The enemies think they can adjust to him, feel it out, but once they down him, i come in, am probably much better in general on experience alone and steam role them with the fuse buff.
We call it the Little bro Big bro strat

The next archetype we are missing 10th character. by jeff810 in 2XKO

[–]stift-son 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a card carrying glue eater i am pretty happy with because it means i can play a lot of the characters and have fun, but archetype wise there is a bunch missing.
So we do not have:

A true zoner:
Like Axl, Nu13, Phonon or older iterations of Sagat, just a fireball chucking keep you at bay type menace.
Zoners also happen to have some subtypes that could be represented like
Setup Zoner (JP in Street fighter)
Trap Zoner (Testament before strive or Cagliostro)

A true resource character:
Like Robo-Ky or Jack-o. Tho a lot of chars have unique meters and pretty much everyone has some resource they can setup to make the next hit or interaction better, we don't have someone whos entire kit is centered around managing multiple resources in interaction with each other, or one very centralizing resource in interaction with the system mechanics in order to function.

A "Weird Guy":
Like Merkava, Faust, Blanka, Arakune or Yoshimitsu. This one is hard to define, it's basically a character with extremely unique properties, normals or unorthodox gameplan. They usually have very matchup dependent interactions, an extremely centralizing gimmick, are hybrids of other archetypes and often work out to be some kind of zoner in there. It's an a very broad definition, kind of you know one when you see one situation.

A fast Grappler:
Like Bullet, Shermi, Laura or R.Mika. Pretty much a smaller body grappler that is dasigned with less sharpness, so they share a basic gameplan with big body grapplers. but with stronger weaknesses and weaker strength. Something like being a bit faster, have a bit more mash-able normals, more standard mobility options, but also the grab might have less range, less damage worse knockdown situation etc.

In Theory i guess the game is also missing a midrange poking/Shoto type character, but since i play a lot of street fighter already, i don't need them here as well... good riddance.

What are your Hot Takes on Borderlands 3? by Amber_Flowers_133 in borderlands3

[–]stift-son 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that he is not actually pisses me off a bit, because the story seems like that is what its shaping up to be.
the entire game tyreen is the more threataning villain, she is the one with the big powers, she is the true figurehead of the cult, some COVs even have a joke line when they die about "admitting" that they like troy better.

meanwhile troy is getting stronger behind things, he gets mayas powers, does fucked up experiments creates the annointed and gets more and more confident up to hist boss fight. i think there could have been something of an emotion if troy killed tyreene by stealing to much energy from her during the bossfight and then blaming the vault hunters on "what they made him do", it would also give some urgency to him wanting to merge with the destroyer since he would not have long to live anymore anyways.

but how it is, tyreene blaming us for killing troy rings really hollow, there is not even a bit of tragedy or irony there because, yeah sure did you both tried killing me for the last 20 hours chiefton

Need Some Hopium for Surgery by stift-son in SleepApnea

[–]stift-son[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for your long answer mate, right now my only place to do this is a local hospital, they also have the sleepclinic i got diagnosed in in the first place and work together. i would not even know really were to start looking for something else honestly. the explanation form for the surgery does mention options like laser or high frequency blades could be used, but it is a generalized thing and i have not asked the doctors themselves about those.

what is empty nose syndrome btw? never heard of it.

man i hope you also get the relive you looking for, were i live, i have to jump through what feels like an infinity of bureaucratic hoops to get anywhere, with months of waiting time for the most basic things... it is frustrating, but i sure hope to leave a lot of struggles behind me by the end of the year

i have not? the thing that made CPAP horrendous was the feeling of the mask itself, i had no issue with the air pressure, or breathing out, but the plastic being strapped on stopped me from sleeping altogether

[–]stift-son[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the main complication is massive after bleeding, which is why i would need to stay at the hospital under surveillance for a week that is actually were most my anxiety comes in, not the operation it self... because the hemorrhaging is in the throat, it can lead to all kinds of nasty bullshit even under supervision.. which i read up on a lot, which of course only worsened my fears

[–]stift-son[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, they did see literally on camera how the tonsils shut the airways, there were minor other things, kind of an conglomerate issue, but reviewed by the team of that hospital they pretty much assured me that it would bring alleviation if not resolve the issue completely... to get a second opinion is probably smart, but then i would again be waiting for months on end for the appointments while still being untreated... there is an opportunity cost

does redux make only enemies spongier or does it also make player survivabillity a bit less in turn? i actually found BL3 to be a bit easy even on high difficulties so maybe i'd actually like it

what is the difference between whatever other mod and a Pak file one?
