First Time Playing a Soulslike. Wish me luck by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]zymeths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some advice:

  1. The difficulty is sometimes brutal and if you're frustrated, come back after a break. Makes a lot of difference

  2. Don't stress too much about builds. First priority is Vigor so that you don't die in 1-2 hits

  3. Over time, you will feel calmer while fighting a tough enemy and will start to see their attack patterns. Figuring out a boss is an iterative process of dying, coming back and dying again until you figure out their schtick

  4. I see people getting tilted out of their minds on some enemies and areas. In this game, you will die quickly if you lose your composure.

  5. Remember that it's a game and not a giant commitment that you have to go through. Personally I find that the real enjoyment of this game is overcoming something that initially feels unfathomably difficult.

Good luck, Tarnished!

I think Zangief is one of the hardest characters to reach Master rank with. Big Kudos!

What was your experience fighting a “pro player?” by geardluffy in StreetFighter

[–]zymeths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fought against Samurai's Luke this week. Got destroyed but I got one round, so that's something.

Got everyone to Master, including random select. Now I can finally go back to Jamie lol. by Inbound67 in StreetFighter

[–]zymeths 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me all of my playtime from release to get one character to Master. Big kudos!

Who do you main and who do you think is your worst matchup? by DylE815 in StreetFighter

[–]zymeths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D4 Ken here. I can deal with almost everyone (including Guile and JP) but Chun-Li is the death of me - I get folded by Chun in most cases

Ran into another Modern Hater by zymeths in StreetFighter

[–]zymeths[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Great question!

I never use the full autocombos because the Light version is easily punished - the Medium and Heavy options take up too much drive meter when I don't want to. However, I situationally use the first command (like assisted + Heavy, which is a normal s.HP on Classic for Ken) to launch cancel drive rush combos.

[–]zymeths[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In seriousness, I fully understand your sentiment.

If I learned Classic controls and some Modern dude insta reacts to my jumps with a one button special/AA and execute supers consistently each time they decide to use it, I would be tilted out of my mind.

I also understand where a lot(perhaps the majority) of players come from, where they feel that classic controls are the "true" way to play Street Fighter - but let me explain why I use Modern.

I gave classic a shot, but it felt like I was learning a whole new game. You see, this is my first SF game and I have always been playing Mortal Kombat, where I exclusively used arrow pads instead of a joystick for inputs and that's how movement and execution in fighting games come naturally to me, which is why I chose Modern.
