I've been a big DoA forever but I'm literally just discovering that La Mariposa apparently has a unique off-the-ropes move after trying her more in 6LR.
I'm now stuck here wondering how many other unique environmental attacks I've been missing all these years.
Still won the night overall BTW - and the Axman made it through!
That is all.
I played almost all of DoA with either a controller or Arcade stick, but a few years back and I changed to a Leverless for my fighting games.
Used to be able to do Lisa's combo throw like 90% of the time, but I've been able to do it exactly one time now. Doing 360s on a Leverless is hard enough, but doing them after doing motions immediately beforehand is frustrating AF.
I was playing a match last night where one of my opponents had an Ares heavy mech and while it eventually went down due to multiple critical ammo failures, I had a thought on the way home:
​
The Ares is a *large lad*. It is possible that within the rules of the game that a jump jet mech could perhaps....jump on top of it to attack it from above to damage it and prevent return fire? Or that a speedy dmall lad like a Mercury could climb it to similar effect?
Sorry for the camera lighting; my room doesn't have the best lights.
​
I've never painted a mini before, so I went my LGS's hobby night where the girl running it showed me how to paint a mini so I could do it myself.
​
I went for a kind of desert/mountain pattern. I also got some stuff to do the base and tone it but didn't have time for that tonight.
​
It was fun but now I look at all the other techs I have and think about what I wanna do for them too and wonder where TF I'll find the time.
So my LGS has mostly just been playing TDM/Last Man Standing and while it's been fun it does end up with a mostly "General Brawl" until someone becomes slightly weaker then ganging up on them, or just slugging it out once everyone ends up clumping together.
I've heard that the game can be played with Objectives to win instead of just TDM/LMS but none of the rulebooks I've gotten so far go over how to play that way, so I'm wondering how you set that up in order to have it play out nicely.
So I wanted finally try playing a miniatures game I always liked the Mechwarrior video games, so last month I got to play my first game ever - just a 1 Mech v 1 Mech to learn some basics - and then last week I got to play another quick match with a multi-mech setup with a couple of things I got from those little blind boxes I picked up beforehand.
At this point all I can is I'm hooked and I raided my LGS for their Battletech stuff (though not all of it obviously - just some more of the blind boxes, and few of the kit/box things) to end up with this.
Now all I gotta do is figure out how to actually like...make a playable group out of all of this and what I actually like. (And maybe paint them at some time but my art skills suck and I can only just about handle panel lining and decal rubbing on Gundam models, much less painting things.)
I'd totally forgotten about this little thing. I remember hating the OG Steam Controller when it launched and selling it a long time ago, but I didn't remember this little box that had been sitting my spare electronics box.
Though I'm not quite sure what to do with it at this point.
