Even if they’re in my favor I just can’t get behind the philosophy they used to justify some of these buffs. I already made a separate post about why I was disappointed by Viper’s SF6 iteration, and how the devs dont fundamentally understand what made Viper operate in SF4. But now they just seem incredibly out of touch.

The character is already a dumbed down version of her SF4 iteration in the name of accessibility, she was already relatively easier to play.… She did not need to be made even easier. “Reducing difficulty” on the character that is supposedly balanced by her executional difficulty, in a game that is relatively easier to play than every past SF title??????

I laughed when they said “reduce unwanted inputs”, AKA, ‘some players couldnt cleanly and consistently SJC off her buttons so we made it easier for them”.

And buffing her medium at the same time is an extremely daring change in the face of it all; lowering the skill floor of the execution character, while simultaneously increasing the reward of playing at that now lower floor? Seriously Capcom?

Meanwhile her feint is untouched. I was hoping they’re return some of the identity it feels like she lost after SFIV, but I think I just lost any faith I had left with this last update. They’re just too afraid of making her inaccessible.

I LOVE labbing every fireball in the game and not getting rewarded for it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE consistently perfect parrying and even double perfect parrying OD fireballs and still being at the whim of fireball drive rush!!!!!! I love playing at the defensive ceiling of the game, doing what I’m “supposed” to do, and still getting blown up. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

fireball drive rush into instant advantage is a fair and balanced mechanic that reinforces the more skilled player winning any given match!

What's the difference between the two? How much of a ghost is 'transferred', and how much of someone's consciousness/personality is just 'mimicked' in an artificial body, like in the case of an engram?

An Engram is just a copy, even if a flawless one. Johnny feels real to us, but the relic isn't his original consciousness. It's up to you to decide whether his construct is "real" enough for you.

Meanwhile the GiTS universe seems to want me to believe that ghost dubbing is more substantial than that. A transfer of the original ghost? Yet the dubbing process harms the host, leaving a bunch of 'transferred' ghosts in artificial bodies. The original source consciousness is gone. Is that no different from creating and applying an engram of a dead person?

So do you guys think dubbed ghosts in artificial bodies are still the "real" ghost? And then based on that, **Cyberpunk 2077 Endings Spoilers** >!would you consider Saburo Arasaka's engram in Yorinobu's body to be the "real" Saburo, and thereby, would you consider him truly immortal?!<

yeah this is a super hard game, etc etc I get it. I’ve been doing pretty good up to now, getting the hang of most things besides camera work.

How are the dual motor cars with machine guns fair? I can’t UT because I get shot out of it. I can’t hardly slash them because I just get hit by contact damage. what’s the play here? I end up burning through the majority of my heals.

Then the fight with the three red fiend. what do I do here besides lure them to a wall and spam air attacks? I keep getting checkmated from off screen. it is nearly impossible to keep all 3 fiends in view at all times.

Khrust King Khan gauntlet. I feel like I keep getting checkmated by the two flying/kiting enemies, the one that darts around the screen (Kakri) and the one that throws the discs (Yago).

Whenever I try to incorporate claw line I get checkmated into contact damage, if not a melee attack. This is especially a problem in the 3rd gauntlet where the floor is replaced by spikes, my only way to cross the room and reach the enemy without taking damage is to use clawline, but when i do i get my inputs read and checkmated.

Whenevet I try to dash and attack, especially against Kakri, they kite away in a way that feels unreactable and unpredictable. I equipped longclaw and it has hardly made a difference. And when i try to get an attack in after its melee, it just dashes away immediately. Pair its lunging attack with the AOE all over the arena and the other enemies ganking me, i feel like i am frequently being checkmated and there is literally not a single space on screen i can get to that wont lead to me taking damage.

And whenever i try to hit Yago’s discs back at them, they just kite away and dodge the discs. It’s a game of luck whether the disc will actually hit or not.

It can’t just be me, shotgun-play feela maybe the single worst in any shooter I’ve ever played, granted, Apex is the highest TTK shooter I’ve ever played

bought a bacon daija, bought a 1.5 lb spring, trying to put new spring in the Daija…..

The C-clip won’t come off. Using a flathead to try and get it off won’t work. I can’t pry or twist it, it simply started bending the materials themselves. I’m doing exactly what I saw other people doing in their mod videos and it’s still not working. I’m genuinely a pretty hands/crafty person, taking off a simple c-clip to install a new spring shouldnt be this difficult. I’m deadass just about to sell this thing. I would legit rather do more difficult car maintenance than this.

I know RNG is the point of the challenge but Jesus actual Christ I hate my luck.

1st run I get Artemis‘ keepsake when I reach Cerberus. 2nd run I have a 5 minute timer for on the surface but foes have increased hordes, shields, and 50% chance to become revenant, and my first boon is an onion. 3rd run I get Artemis keepsake against frenzied Eros. 4th run I get Artemis keepsake AGAIN in Ephyra, and no healing arcana at each location. Fortunately I make it out of Ephyra with death defiances, but lose on Olympus against hordes + extra HP + shadow servant + Frenzy.

I normally play bad runs but these feel genuinely unsalvageable and out of my control.

This character is degenerate slop. What can AKI safely do against Alex player‘s that like to ”steal” turns?

“Steal” probably isn’t even the right word because it implies it’s actually your turn, when in reality AKI doesn’t have the kit to contest his most degenerate tools.

What can I do with AKI - or with any character for that matter - when the safety/threat of light elbow, lariat, and his charged heavies means it’s too risky to call out his “fake” pressure when Alex players start getting greedy? Every defensive “option“ for a character without a true reversal or cancellable low forward is a wild, disproportionate gamble on a ”mind game” that doesn’t have to actually be earned by the Alex player at round start.
