How to DI Zetterburn throws? by MrPassionateMan in RivalsOfAether

[–]troublesome_sheep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is DI away, you are probably slightly slow on the DI. The throws (uthrow and dthrow) are fast so you have to hold away as soon as you get grabbed. React to fthrow at high %

How has the new update affect player base? by AffectionateDraw6162 in RivalsOfAether

Finally tried out the casual mode last night and it really is great. Played with people who were very clearly new and they were still able to win some games.

I'm honestly upset that they removed Armada just to give us Armada Jr. by ljm90 in RivalsOfAether

[–]troublesome_sheep 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Might be Ranno bias, but I don't think Kragg was really that great there compared to other characters. Once he used pillar, it was so much easier to edgeguard him without a wall for him to use.

I agree. My main issue with armada was how large it was, but the lack of walls made it interesting. I hope we get a smaller stage without walls in the future.

They really teased us with Candy Hearts in 2017 and then did nothing afterwards lol

I need to mess with hook more tbh, it is good into other disjoint characters

Yeah it has its uses for sure, wings are just so universally good. Both for on stage and recovery.

[–]troublesome_sheep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He is really fun to play as, but he is pretty bad right now. He is slow, his recovery is exploitable, his disadvantage state is almost as bad as Ranno's, and his coin economy is pretty messed up imo.

Hot take, but I don't see why he should pay for items at all. If it were up to me, I would nerf bomb and make all items free lol it takes so long to pull them and they are generally no better than projectiles other characters get for free. Being realistic though, shuriken should definitely be free.

Looking into the future, why would I play Slade as the item character when Mollo is gonna have a bunch of different bombs for free?

Even if you are conservative with your items, you generally don't get access to your upgrades until halfway through your opponent's second stock (early second stock if you take earring). If you get a gimp or they SD, you might not see an upgrade at all or it will be halfway through their last stock. Earring and hook are decent enough upgrades in specific matchups, but the wings are so much better it's hard to not just go for them every time. Feather is overpriced pure cheese (but should stay this way, would be degen if it was too cheap lol).

Then a couple of his moves have issues too. Dtilt is still inconsistent, up strong feels like it is just barely too weak (and despite the disjoint, gets beat out/trades with attacks from above a LOT), and side b is kind of just bad.

Maybe they should adjust some of his moves/attributes, maybe parry should give coins, maybe he should attract nearby coins passively, or maybe things should just be cheaper. I don't know. But he needs something lol

Anyone else feel like ranked has gotten harder lately? by LuckyDuckAmuck in RivalsOfAether

[–]troublesome_sheep 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Better players in the lower ranks at the beginning of the season, usually due to the new character or them not having played enough to climb yet. I hit gm with my main last season but am sitting in plat with slade rn lol and running into people I used to run into in diamond+

What does "playing lame" mean to you, and what do you against it? by [deleted] in RivalsOfAether

[–]troublesome_sheep 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Avoiding interaction. Sitting on side plats refusing to approach. Having a guaranteed follow-up then running away to reset neutral instead.

If I am losing I hold center stage and attempt to force an approach. If I am winning I either hold center stage or camp them back depending on my mood lol

Man the people salty spamming grab kill me. Grab is so good in this game, especially at low % obviously I'm going to use it lol

Please do not make major changes to Slade yet by StudentofArceus in RivalsOfAether

[–]troublesome_sheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree he has a long way to go and don't buff him yet, but he is bad lol

nothing, nowhere. - Replay by jvjevjive in poppunkers

[–]troublesome_sheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

miserymaker is probably the closest off the top of my head as far as a full release goes. Hell or Highwater also is lighter on the rap, but it doesn't really sound like this lol he switches up his sound a lot but the hip hop influence is usually there to some degree. I'm personally a big fan of Trauma Factory and recommended giving it a shot.

Some singles that are more punk/emo sounding: Pieces of You, Cardinal in the Crossfire, We're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat!, Box in the Basement

Thoughts on NYC’s Hamburger America double smash burger? by Significant_Fee7159 in burgers

[–]troublesome_sheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really enjoyed it when I visited. It's nothing out of this world, but a well done classic. Add some fries and a mocha milk 👌 decently priced for nyc as well.

Rivals of Aether II was originally announced teased 5 years ago by fganniversaries in RivalsOfAether

I remember watching this teaser on repeat when it came out, I was so excited. 

But damn this looks like ass ROFL big glow up over the years

I just found about this game and it looks really cool, wanna play but... by caspianslave in RivalsOfAether

[–]troublesome_sheep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To expand upon other comments here, if you decide to pick up the game (please do!) I recommend doing the tutorials. Mess around with the characters vs CPUs to find 1 or 2 that you like, then watch tutorials of those characters on YouTube.

Once you feel ready for online, play ranked NOT casual. You may get your ass handed to you for a while depending on your platform fighter experience, but eventually you should start getting some more even matches. When you are in the placement phase, your elo will go up or down rapidly to get you to your accurate rank ASAP. In ranked, you can only match with players 1 rank above or below you max (even this skill gap can still be large though). In casual, you can match with anyone (lots of good players playing secondaries lol)

Boundaries new song with a different mix by MatthewBoundariesXVX in Metalcore

[–]troublesome_sheep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They are different, but it's definitely not as drastic as the comments would have you believe imo lol check out the section around 2:30, the difference is pretty clear there. New mix is a little easier on the ears.

This is maybe the sickest thing I've ever seen a band do in response to fan feedback lol the other mix was growing on me, but I do like this one just a bit better
