Potentially my last time ever at Xanadu. Things won’t ever be the same without you. Here’s a thread of pics I got while there

Mojang saw people using the armadillo as a ball in minigames and nearly had a panic attack

@MrBadmic Maybe if you could instantly switch between the shielding and normal state it’d be better. That way you could do cool stuff like sprint jumping then shielding to maintain full momentum as you shield

Love everything to do with risk of rain, especially all the different characters But if they add Enforcer in the next DLC and his kit is the same I'm gonna be a Lil disappointed cuz Holy shit Enforcer is the most boring character I've ever played in a game EVER bruh

Siiiick

This guy's evo is about to have two attacking stats over 100 and no speed.

@CentroLeaks @Light_88_ Do we know the gimmick for gen 10 based on the leaks?

@Light_88_ False

🚨 Potential Pokémon Winds and Waves Gimmick: Name & Explanation 🚨 Rebirth 🌈 Rebirth is a new mechanic: When a Pokémon faints, it can be revived with an Omni-Boost (requires holding the item). After Rebirth, it cannot switch out. Some Pokémon unlock special Reborn Forms. H.Q teaser icon: 👇

Please gen 10 pokemon save us from the shittiest meta of my life

@DespairMirror @elijacore I could see a prime soul where you need to fight them one after another or at the same time

@elijacore honestly that was just a lucifer prime soul fight teaser to me. it didn't make me want to actually see the other archangels because putting it in this late is both "they exist" and "they don't matter to what's going on" in my eyes. maybe lucifer will talk about them?

ok but the archangel reveal was crazy to me, like just dropping this bombshell in the penultimate layer and then never elaborating on it again is INSANEEE

@Drifter_RoR Red plane DLC here we come

// RoR Social Media Guy has been extra active as of recent something is about to happen

@_TheSmartAlec1 Too weird? It looks like Spider-Man ps4 gameplay with some weird monsters instead of grunts

I’ve seen some Remedy/Control fans act like this game looks like too weird/risky of a leap and the concept of that is really funny to me. MGS2 comes for everyone eventually I am honestly shocked it didn’t happen sooner!

@POTAkcoon Why does being designed by Nelnal matter for their comment?

These two and Tasque Manager were all designed by Nelnal this is high-key disrespectful I'm gonna be real

@whoruble @JorgeHighwind I appreciate both ya’lls time and patience but I don’t feel continuing the convo. I hope I’ve shed some light onto why some of these fighting games might be trying to remove motion inputs from the perspective of someone that would love to get into them but hasn’t

@whoruble @JorgeHighwind You can still predict it. That’s still a skill you can master. I’m trying to make the point that adding more skill doesn’t always make the game better. Sometimes it just serves to distract from the core game

Momentos que los devs quieren evitar a toda costa por algún motivo

@JorgeHighwind @whoruble Ok then let’s give it to every character. Now everyone has to play at a higher level to beat it

@SLASHY_ssb @whoruble It would make the move way better, useful in more situations, and probably overpowered. Now playing one character requires less skill while playing against them requires more. Skill hasn't been added

@JorgeHighwind @whoruble Damn. losing a tourney bc you didn’t grind an input enough I mean in the specific outlined scenario there is no choice to make. It’s just. Did you grind this move enough to be confident to use it under pressure. Not that there’s not a use case for the other move ever

@SLASHY_ssb @whoruble "At a high level they will not mess up the input" This is just not true. And the heavy punch can be better if you were more worried about other options and, by the time you react to the jump, there is not enough time for you to do a shoryuken

@JorgeHighwind @whoruble At a high level they will not mess up the input so it’s effectively just a means of locking out options without grinding for an input first. There is no choice to be made or prediction or even spacing. The shoryuken will always be better than the heavy punch

@SLASHY_ssb @whoruble Balancing stronger moves by making them harder to do. Imagine you are playing Ryu and your opponent jumps. You can anti air by doing a crouching heavy punch, or a shoryuken. Shoryuken will do more damage and have invulnerability. Is it fair for it to be just as easy to do?

@whoruble @JorgeHighwind I didn’t say invisible I meant let’s say instead of their being 30 frames of motion before the move comes out theirs 5. It still has the same amount of start up it just requires a lot more reaction or prediction to punish. That would technically add more skill to the game

@SLASHY_ssb @JorgeHighwind You’re somehow confusing player agency with reactable information. You basically just asked me ‘what if your opponent was invisible’ and expected that to correlate with input styles

@whoruble @JorgeHighwind There are better ways to add more moves without making the inputs horrible. If more difficulty is better than wouldn't it be good if the characters had less tells and were hard to read? It would add more complexity and skill

@SLASHY_ssb @JorgeHighwind I’m an advocate for fighting games to not just be ssb clones.. more inputs is nice, having more then 10 attacks is nice, having options in games is nice. to memorize and execute directional inputs to get a “qte” when you could just press X once is meaningful complexity. Options

@JorgeHighwind @whoruble I guess I should ask what do you think the QTE adds that wouldn't be better if they had the same number of moves with simpler inputs?

@SLASHY_ssb @whoruble As a punish it's terrible but you'll start being able to guess when it should work (and you should do a full combo) and when it shouldn't

@whoruble @JorgeHighwind What complexity? Being able to do a QTE? Does that really add meaningful complexity in your eyes?

@SLASHY_ssb @JorgeHighwind Bro people are trying to make their artistic vision and you are talking about sacrificing complexity so that you can have Fortnite player numbers. I promise you anyone who is tryna be so good they place at events does not care about the barrier to entry.

@whoruble @JorgeHighwind I wouldn’t call being able to use all your attacks mastering it. Most ppl getting into fighting games for the first time will not be able to input a motion input once without practice. There are better ways to allow for more moves than what’s been done in the past.

@SLASHY_ssb @JorgeHighwind Not all games are to be mastered in 2 matches. You can always fully control your character, it’s a matter of consistency which comes with practice as there are more options and possibilities than u-tilt and n-air with motion inputs. It’s just more complex. Not for everyone
