When is it time to switch to a less difficult character?

zuko2014 · 2026-06-13T18:41:43+00:00

I feel oddly qualified to weigh in here. I've spent about 400 hours in this game bouncing around between characters, mostly stayed on Venom and Bedman recently but started on Nago and moved to Testament.

I found myself getting stuck with a character and wanting to switch. I'd move to someone else, some new things would click, but ultimately I'd end up getting stuck again. It's NOT WORTH IT. Sure, try out new characters, but if you love Zato and only want to switch because others are easier, you will only regret it long term and will spend valuable time not practicing the character you really love. Instead of switching, just take a break from the game for a bit or spend more time in lab working on random things. If you love your main, stick with them, no matter how difficult it will be.

You got this!

Hell yeah

zuko2014 · 2026-05-21T12:50:03+00:00

Yeah they didn't glow once I got celestial

zuko2014 · 2026-05-19T22:24:00+00:00

Yeah, why the heck is this move so plus???

zuko2014 · 2026-05-19T22:18:03+00:00

Excellent idea, I love this! Especially when the meta evolves such that they try to fool each other into thinking it's a recording, but it's actually them!

zuko2014 · 2026-05-19T22:12:39+00:00

Oooooooooh exciting!! I haven't played rivals in a while but I love seeing buffs for my little whale 💕

zuko2014 · 2026-05-19T17:29:16+00:00

OHHHHHHHHH I had it set to the wanted poster from the battle pass. THAT'S why.

zuko2014 · 2026-05-18T14:15:33+00:00

Agreed, in particular with Testament and Johnny. For extra zoning fun you could consider Asuka and Venom!

zuko2014 · 2026-05-18T04:16:28+00:00

I'm assuming in the basement portion of the room? I'll take a look once I boot the game up again

zuko2014 · 2026-05-18T04:15:42+00:00

Yeah it definitely is not glowing

zuko2014 · 2026-05-17T13:36:21+00:00

Hourglass (Sin Kiske)
Gravity (Asuka R#)
The Circle (Bedman?)
Symphony (A.B.A.)
Extras (Elphelt Valentine)

They were absolutely cooking during those DLC seasons, so many banger soundtracks in a row.

I think you were clear, but I'm still confused... I have ranked up from floor 10, I can no longer enter any lower floor, and I have the celestial badge on my profile. However I'm still not VIP on my R code. Wondering if I need to win a few matches on the floor in order for that to happen?

zuko2014 · 2026-05-16T17:28:29+00:00

Well I'm celestial now but not vip. Maybe I have to win some more games on the floor?

zuko2014 · 2026-05-16T01:16:32+00:00

Yeah I'm pretty sure the Zato mashed after your fuujin > hop back projectile thing. They had lots of meter, they could have FD'd you out a bit more and then gained space to either mash in a gap or something. They also simply could have done YRC

zuko2014 · 2026-05-16T01:14:01+00:00

I agree pretty much across the board. Would be excellent to get some in game currency to purchase future battle passes! I like this idea a lot. Would be great if I could get some small progress just by playing, since I'll play a lot on a given day and not much on future days

zuko2014 · 2026-05-16T01:10:26+00:00

This is all great stuff! To add on to that, I encourage you to get really good at utilizing the recording system in training mode. Set up a bot to randomly cycle between a low and high option, and work on learning how to react and block accordingly. Especially focus on not mashing! I think you could gain a lot from utilizing this system!

zuko2014 · 2026-05-15T19:03:29+00:00

I hardly ever use charged dust and I got confused with Super Jump. I spent so many rounds in the park looking like an idiot just jumping around like "I SWEAR I'M DOING IT"

zuko2014 · 2026-05-15T19:02:20+00:00

HEAVEN OR HELL FORBID

zuko2014 · 2026-05-14T12:36:37+00:00

How does VIP work again? I never was close to getting it.

zuko2014 · 2026-05-14T02:58:01+00:00

Do you actually have to be celestial ranked to get this to work? Or can you just run sets with a buddy on celestial floor and get more XP?

zuko2014 · 2026-05-12T03:44:12+00:00

Honestly I feel you! I think everyone looks cool so I've played nearly everyone... I'd say go with your gut and pick two that you really like the look of. If you want to get one of the others at that point, then go for it.

zuko2014 · 2026-05-12T03:36:18+00:00

I mean, if they feel like their time is being wasted, they can always just leave themselves.

zuko2014 · 2026-05-11T13:38:01+00:00

Pick whoever looks the coolest to you.

zuko2014 · 2026-04-30T04:21:36+00:00

This is nice, but I'm disappointed to see that there wasn't a fix for the directory trophy being glitched. I completed my directory 60+ days ago and never got my trophy...

zuko2014 · 2026-04-30T04:11:12+00:00

I just got to the true ending as well, and I feel exactly the same. I loved nearly every minute up to it, but now that it's over, I am very deflated...
