mapple

took me 6+ months of playing on-and-off, but i finally fucking got it, sub25 for sure done w this god damn game for the foreseeable future, but it was good while it lasted :] jstris.jezevec10.com/replay/28269796

@bonfireten @illusionzFGC @TSM_Leffen he won with happy chaos so it didn't count 😭😭

@mapplesauceee @illusionzFGC @TSM_Leffen theyre coping considering hes won evo in both melee and a traditional fighting game

I genuinely dont understand the @TSM_Leffen hate. Does he have a ego? Yes but mostly everyone playn at that lvl in anything does and its kinda earned honestly. I think this community just to sensitive and needs to grow up ngl.

@bonfireten @illusionzFGC @TSM_Leffen fgc hates him I think mostly because he comes from smash lol. like people already have a bias against him for that, but because he also has an ego it makes people lose their minds. like to them he's a tourist who whines about their games

@illusionzFGC @TSM_Leffen yeah i dont get it either like I know dozens of dudes who complain as much if not more than him even if his ego was overinflated, thats something you clown someone for, not hate them for

@MahiruYuuki prison school ending is a genuine masterpiece in "fuck you" endings

If these are the worst endings you've read You haven't read actual garbage yet

SILENT GOAT. have not lost on this character. win streaked a0-a10 lmao also why r people complaining about doormaker he is literally the easiest of the three bosses lol

@ezzyskii WHAT IS THAT!

@TheWuster935 @brexton @FangYi11101 the meeshay and shan noodles are AMAZING, the best I've ever had, but the rest of the food is ok imo

@brexton @FangYi11101 For burmese food there is a place in queens (nangma) that does a fantastic burmese breakfast market every sunday

This is the best banh mi in NYC I’ve been getting banh mi from a new place at least once a month for years and this actually blew my mind They actually make their own Vietnamese bread rather than buying/using baguettes Might be the best I’ve had in years Banh mi co ut: 10/10

@Deergineer @AeroGaymes just treat it like you will always fight the boss and come up with a creative solution during the run instead of just giving up. how is the window to adapt too small when good players are already getting massive win streaks with varied decks and rarely ever losing?

@AeroGaymes I agree that roguelikes are about adapting to what the run gives you, but the window to adapt is simply too small considering you don’t know the final boss until you’re basically at their doorstep. It’s like if Isaac had a boss that countered Brimstone

I bought this game, played 2 player, found it difficult and not that different from the first one except very few enemies full countered builds. Took a break. They nerfed everything. Added enemy that full counters builds. I don’t wanna play any more.

@thegrayfruit @TarnishedW1 I agree that I think the op is exaggerating, but it does seem to be in a very negative and pointed way, so I think it's reasonable to defend the game if ur a fan lol. like if the op didnt paint it in an trashy way I'd be with u in that it's odd to qrt with aura farm gameplay

@mapplesauceee @TarnishedW1 totally a trashy thing to say but to me it was pretty obvious that was not meant to be taken literally, like obviously OP wasn't saying there are no patterns or anything, just that there are bosses in more recent FS games that feel extremely chaotic to players, which is true!

I purposefully chose Dancing Lion, the most chaotic boss, to showcase that even he has more methodical rhythm & freedom than all DS1 bosses combined.

@thegrayfruit @TarnishedW1 i think ur being deliberately obtuse and giving the op way too much charity lol. they clearly indicate a negative connotation in "coke addicts that spasm around the arena with no rhyme or reason" that is deeper than just "they r faster"

@TarnishedW1 thats awesome. do you think elden ring bosses are the same speed as ds1 bosses? do you know what "slow" means?

@eelcaz welcome back!

nice argument, unfortunately ive already depicted you as the desperate frantic green fencer and myself as the calm precise red fencer

@thaanxtos "a no"

when the jp audio says "a no onna" but the subtitles say "that bitch"

@GoremWulf @Zinsonkim @Pirat_Nation also "you now have to design every run as if you are fighting him" is how many bosses worked in spire 1 lol (time eater, awakened one, sword spear, heart) that's a large part of the difficulty and it's cool imo

@GoremWulf @Zinsonkim @Pirat_Nation gotta say, you did not figure out the fight if you think he is the hardest boss by a wide margin lol. also the strategies you mention in the first post are just incorrect, you don't have to plan for any of that other than turns where u cannot draw additional cards

Slay the Spire 2 is facing its second Steam review bomb in under two months. The April 16 update introduced balance changes, UI tweaks, and text adjustments, triggering over 4,800 negative reviews in a single day mostly from Chinese players. Recent ratings dipped to Mixed, but overall reviews remain Positive. MegaCrit already walked back major nerfs after the first wave last month.

@JapaneseExport altho I 100% agree I think the difficulty difference is largely due to the lack of act 4. like a20 spire 1 without heart isn't that hard either, having a block solution is way less important so you can just skip elites and hoard pots. not to mention u don't have to get the keys

Slay the spire getting review bombed for being “too difficult” is very sad to see the game is supposed to be hard… onepunman literally won 20 in a row on A10 and i almost first tried the game on A10 while blindfolded spire 1 is close to 2x the difficulty and its the GOAT

@chudcueid you'll never forget that word :]

mindblown

@ZombaSalvatore melee player here but I think this is amazing advice for any game or competition

if you have any competency in ultimate and you are wanting to get better, the biggest disservice to yourself that you could do is not being in your own corner. so many times i’ve heard people say “your only saying your going to win because your top 10” meanwhile my mindset has always been the same way before i got good. “i am human and so am them, its a video game and they are shit” one of the best things i did for myself was taking away the names/ranks of players and just looking at their character and habits. so many players will look at their bracket and just say “I’m going to lose” before the tournament has even started. too many people hit plateaus because they are scared to join the greats, theres a reason your friend that you swear is so good can only use their brain in friendlies but not on their winners round 1 and so on. now imagine actually being on top of a huge stage with a larger crowd? well i don’t have to just live in a fantasy for that image, but a lot would crumble even before pools. it doesn’t just take an anime protagonist mindset to get better. theres a lot of discipline in peoples real lives that people forego (life responsibilities, outside jobs, school, social life, romantic relationships, gym) in the pursuit of it that you absolutely shouldn’t neglect. think literally your sleeping/eating/outside life habits/social media habits. can guarantee if your feeling out of it a lit of these things are easily fixable. but another one of the best things you can do for yourself is allowing yourself to grow outside of the game. its basic to say but with a lot of how the community presents themselves and the mentality that i see from people all the time its something i have always thought about. the meta sucks until your the one dominating it, otherwise your just going to be a pawn to real players. if you want to genuinely improve you have to stop lying to yourself about your faults and address them in and out of the game. or you will never achieve what you want. and you know what sometimes its not for everybody, there can only be one winner. as a friend to some and a competitor to all, i can only wish you luck.

@plushVG I'm surprised u think Luigi's is worse tho seems so integral to his kit

@mapplesauceee ye the tiers are ordered, i agree. Foxs still goated tho v underused imo

guess 😶

@zstbair what's wrong with ultimate dk? didn't play much but his dash attack is sick

i try to be charitable in the melee vs ult discourse but ult ruined donkey kong so they are my enemy
