I learned how to solve a Rubik’s cube when I was 15, always been doing it as a hobby and a neat party trick. I’m a new player and when I finished the tutorial and got into the cabin I busted out my 3x3 I had in my room and tried to solve it. The hardest part was really using the controller to turn the sides instead of my fingers. I’ve gotten so much muscle memory I no longer remember the algorithms and just really on memory to do them, so having to sit there and actually think about what button to press are it take way longer than it should’ve. About 3 months ago I got my new personal record to under a minute which was pretty cool.

I don’t know why we didn’t jus throw it away but at least we got some cool photos

After playing this game for the better half of 4 years, one thing that always been a big roadblock for me improving was light parries. It’s what made me quit playing for 2 years back in year 8. It’s really nice to see my improvement and it makes me want to keep playing, despite the balancing issues.

EDIT:

To those that are mentioning the fact that I should be reacting to the animation and not the indicator, you are completely right. My next big milestone is learning the animations for all the roster and be able to parry without the Indicator. BUT this is way better than not being able to light parry AT ALL. so for now, I will consider this an improvement.

Also for those worried I will get parry baited, you are also correct, but I know that not every move I get hit with will be a light, I’m not going to parry every time I see red. If I ASSUME the next move someone throws at me will be a light, this practice will help properly react and punish if my read is correct.
