Just wanted to ask, since I need to rewrite my Ad Boost grinding tutorial, since it's outdated. Idk if anyone even has the choice, since I *definitely* don't anymore.
That's all, thanks!
I'm in the upper 7ks for context, if anyone needed to know.
Everytime I fight one of these players, they end up winning, even if I hit them hard enough to ruin their run. Having a near guaranteed double boost on all stages is pure bullshit, and the fact that HL never learned their lesson from MSSh is astoundingly idiotic.
If I can't reasonably beat a character without using meta (which still has a good chance to fail), or a minibooster, then what's the point of fighting them? And I know it's probably because of this event and its stupid, targety bot, but how does that make this any more fair? It's too far of a reach for an easy win for me to actually respect it half the time.
If you main them, more power to you, whatever. But I needed to get this off my chest, because I keep losing my trophies to meta bullshit, or these fuckers. It's so infuriating that I have to be afraid to do a match, just because a damn Super Sonic might snipe me, or a Super Shadow will spam enough to get close again, or Zap Trap.
Supers are still unfair. That's all. :/
Yes, I wasted 8k clan tokens to test this. Yes, I regret it. :/
Also fuck the "Win _ times in First against bot" missions tbh. Even meta spamming ended up with me losing. :[
Yep, doing this now ig lol. Seeing as all four of these characters suffer in certain ways against the current state of the game, I'm mixed on who should get the next level up after this event tbh.
After this is all done, I'll start going for level 20 on all of my commons too, then rares, then super rares. It's gonna be a bit before then though, so... yeah. Baby steps, I guess. ._.
If you really want to, lmk WHY a certain character should get the upgrades first. Like, I know Zazz got the motobug buff, but his trap isn't great; or how Tikal's trap is useless, but the chao are easy to spam. I'd appreciate it if you do! Thanks!
I got bored, and wanted to see TwinTales Alula in the new palette tbh. That's- that's literally it, idk what else to put here tbh. I just love this design, I thought I'd have to make more edits to it, but it looks nice to me rn as-is. :]
Sorry for all of the images here btw lol, I just wanted to experiment a bit more with the design tbh. Even Niko's design in the AU got shifted after I modified my palette for them. So, yeah, things can still change here lmao.
Huh, a new Shadow that wasn't shadowdropped, and a new Shadow transformation that DOESN'T have a miniboost? Guess HL really is scared of pissing us off too early lol. Anyways...
His attack, Chaos Cage, does pretty good damage, and is basically reskinned ice. It pairs well with his fans, which are ANNOYING as fuck lol, seeing as it stops you until you move around it. And Super Boost is what it is, broken if used right.
Not much to say other than he's good and not meta for once. This marks a THIRD super variant with a new attack too, so I wonder if the next super variant will keep that thread going? (Riders Burning Blaze? Riders Super Silver? Idk. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
Seriously! 99% of my matches today (and yesterday) have been either one of these two popping up out of nowhere and beating everyone to dust! It's so infuriating, there's literally SO MANY MORE MINIBOOSTERS, and it's those two they pick instead. -_-
I don't even see many Riders Rouges or Kunoichis around now, just Neo and Doom. Especially Doom Shadow, since his miniboost is as fast as Kunoichi's current boost. (Yes, I checked it while I was pissed off. And yeah, that pissed me off MORE lmao).
Both have gotten ZERO nerfs as of now (Neo's July nerfs excluded). Idc if it's for money or WHAT, but we need nerfs for them soon, or else they'll be the top meta. I don't feel like getting outran by anymore Doom Shadows, and I don't feel like having my shit shocked away by Neo's fuck-you-beam. :/
So, we all know about the "You killed Niko" screen and all that (Slide 3), yeah, but did you know Niko won't immediately die in Freeware? Turns out that if you quit right at the start (slide 1)/ near the start (before the point where you save for the first time I believe), Niko won't die, and you'll instead get slide 2 + a save reset.
Found that out while trying to get the bad ending for "100%". Beat Freeware btw lol, just gotta finally play the 2016 version and I'll have every OS game 100%-ed! :D
(And if the text is too buggy to read, it says "An odd feeling of deja vu overwhelms Niko." Lmk if I should take this down or not if this is well known already lol.)
Title says it all lmao. Hope this makes someone feel better, even if it's not much lol, seeing as today was... not great for either sub honestly. If anyone wants the variant without any bows, lmk lol, since both bows were separate layers in the art.
(The only reason this exists is because I've drawn Cyn too much and got too used to drawing bows lol. Cuteness aggression be damned. 💀)
I can't win for SHIT with a low level super, sorry guys. 😭
At least this one had me clutch a second place AND show off Chaos Cage a bit, even if that Chaos was going haywire for some reason lol. Idk WHAT happened to them before, but they seemed pissed lmao.
(No audio, no voice. I was joking in the last gameplay lol. Please don't actually ask for me to, I'm not going to voice over this. And yeah, his Super Boost theme IS Fist Bump for some reason btw.)
Screenshotted off of the current leaderboard one of our members got from the Maincord, tysm! Anyways... WHAT. I'm still genuinely in shock right now, you guys are doing genuinely outstanding! Keep it up, maybe we can stay there by next month if we try hard enough!
And of course, GGs to every clan here as well! Here's to another month of... whatever this'll be lol.
(Also, posting RSSh stuff later on... hopefully. RNGesus be damned!)
You can't see it well here, but it's basically the same speed as Fairy/ Reindeer's boosts now. It's pretty damn good, good enough to fight against Jet's bashoshen ig. Idk how I even won. 💀 Don't be shocked if Zavok or Lunar Blaze users start showing up everywhere, this buff was nuts!
(Also no audio AGAIN. Just listen to "Back 2 Back (Blazy Mix)" from Rush or something, it's what I had in mind while playing myself lol.)
Yep, we finally got the Power Sneakers buff, and did it do enough? Yesn't. It IS faster, but not fast enough, it still feels like it can't really reach far enough without any support.
Anyways, all 3 elemental boosts feel better, MAINLY Fire, since it actually can carry you far now. Ice might still need a slight buff, and Wind works as long as it's not DHSh. 💀 Zavok is now my GOAT, can't believe I ever doubted Wii Party. 😭 (/j)
Drill SPIN feels okay now to fight (here's gameplay from Takai to show that off lol), but normal Drill still feels iffy to me. Crossworld's Shield feels stronger though ngl. Motobug too, Classic mains can rest easy now lol.
Spin kick looked about the same, and Bat Cracker IS weaker, but that didn't fix their main issues lol. Sweet Silence IS slower, but it still hits hard. And my OTHER goat Excalibur got it good imo, that boost actually felt alright (for a level 4 lol). Righteous Path is okay now, but it still won't land often.
Couldn't test Santa Big or LBO, so lmk how those feel. Didn't test Nine either, so lmk how he is too.
Not my best, but certainly not my worst either, if I say so myself! If I can get more people to see how actually not-bad Marine is, then that's enough for me lol, mid or not gameplay aside. :]
Also, don't expect RSSh gameplay from me until late tomorrow, since I won't use him much until level 6-ish or so. Plus I've got things to do beyond grinding so... yeah! :/
(Also no audio AGAIN, ik. Fuck Android screen recording. ToT)
Decided to do it with one of my favorite expressions for Alula too lol. She's just so joyous, and it's honestly adorable. :,3
But yeah, no goofy stuff here, since I'm trying to make something else rn with this palette. I just want to see how people feel about it. I like it, but idk if it's too dark/ washed out.
Last two images were dumb little things I did either to test the colors before going into the main art (slide 4), or just for fun (slide 5). I think you can tell that art I did with Freeware Niko might've made me re-think about how I draw them lmao. Other than the palette, don't take any of these that seriously, since I just did most of it for fun.
I really need to do Alula soon though to counter the amount of Niko I've been doing recently. Gotta figure that out later though lol. :3
Yeap, did this so I could finally have the Freeware and Steam releases be different enough! Ik the title looks... off, but I didn't know how else to fix the bulb tbh.
Will be releasing these in a few minutes too on my SteamGrid account, so yeah! Plus, ig this is my way of saying that I'm finally gonna play the freeware version (and "100%-ing it).
Aka: the thing I wanted to post last night, but didn't have finished yet. -_-'
It's not much, but I still had fun tbh, still a bit too little here for me to want to post it to the main sub though. Just had the urge to make it, idk why lmao. And... and I used the actual art tag for once. Weird. O_o
Speedran this shit in 30-ish minutes before making a post on another sub lol. Take this as my take for "Niko.exe" or something.
If I had a name for them, it'd be Sunburn btw! Or uh, I think it would, idk, I didn't think this out fully tbh. Other than the eyes being shattered, like as if Niko's eyes were suns. That's all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(Also forgot the little ends on Niko's scarf FUCK. 💀)
I was going to use this for me joining the OneVerse Discord, but I got a bit nervous, so I didn't, for now I mean. Was also supposed to release this with Calamus's concept (which I finally have a design for from last night lol) but decided to do new art that isn't as experimental to pair with him.
Also lmk how you feel about the design from slide 3. No, it's not the main design, but I do want feedback for it. And yes, this design is slightly new; I based it off of her new overworld sprites. ;3
