ReacTj - ReacTable Trance live performance #2

Playing with this in the dark for a week would fix me

[fisheito]

Hm.

[tragicallycrispygirl]

holy FUCK i dont even consciously know how i blocked this

and yes i know i couldve killed after the tkb with another rc probably but give me a break my heart was going at 300 beats per minute

The confluence of slayer being balanced the way he is and also being maximum gender envy for upwards of 60% of the player base is probably the worst thing to happen to a competitive game since the dead ringer

Like he's absolutely juiced and also is relatively easy to pick up and also everyone online wants to play him. At least with most prior meta dominating characters there was some limiting factor to people picking them up en masse, like having complicated resource management, or not being a white dude, but with slayer it's like, the perfect storm

Honestly mono Geo with Navia is not bad at all if you are fighting against enemies with constant/long time element application on them to get crystallize. You just don't get the bonus %atk from having two crystallizable non-geo elements in the team, but you kinda make it up with Gorou's geo damage bonus.

i understand why people wont go through the mountain pass to get to act 2, it is just... easier to get through the underdark that early on lmao but its probably my favourite segment of the whole game? i cant believe people avoid it entirely just bcuz of the difficulty. githyanki enemies are insane ofc but idk.. skill issue LOL

fr tho, it has such a beautiful setting, i really like the execution of the creche in the ruined monastary, all the signs of the gith invasion and how the blood of lathander questline going on in the bg of the main events tells part of its history its all soooo good. not to mention the actual story arc that segment of the game entails being again, one of my favourites and how it all ties to laezel and her personal questline, the growth she goes through and how it evokes her character, the emotional journey you go on with her its a lotttttttttttt idk i really like the mountain pass segment

from a setting and like, exploration, open world pov i think the underdark is more interesting objectively. but narrative wise and execution, i Personally think the mountain pass stuff is more memorable and hits a bit harder. which isnt to say i dont enjoy the underdark, that would be stupid, theyre both probably the strongest points of the game to me. i just Think i prefer the mountain pass

Girls are always trying to empower their blade with azure moonlight before they impale me on it and sever my remaining connection to humanity and it's like, come on, the blue glow is such a dead giveaway it makes the attack really reactable, do better.

[demilypyro]

HIS FRAMES ARE REACTABLE, KRILLIN

My most toxic Strive Axl take is that they should remove counter hit recovery from Winter Mantis. It's not even a good command grab. It prorates your combo into space. It's the most reactable command grab on the roster. Why am I dying for taking a risk with so little reward? Please I'm begging you stop putting 20 counters to every tool in my man's kit the tradeoff should be we're playing the defensive neutral man in the pffensive neutral skip game we are already in the trenches you don't have to step on our balls while we're down there

[chloebangbang]

also on that note I guess undertale's sans fight also probably is exactly what I've been looking for with regards to a game that feels like punch out but doesn't Suck Super Bad. like the main things I look for out of this have nothing to do with the gameplay of the boxing fights, all I want is

a boss rush, or at least boss, where

beating the fight is equal parts "solving the puzzle of how you're expected to react to a given attack" and "burning the fight into your muscle memory because the cues are not naturally reactable per se where

you live quick, die quick, and restart relatively quick, and ideally

it takes you 200+ attempts to beat the boss, and once you beat them twice or so you never lose ever again. because you've learned the puzzle and burned it into your muscle memory

sans hits all of these points, and is just a fun fucking fight. but also none of this is searchable or findable in any way so I guess I'm eternally just going to be diving reddit threads and playing more random boxing games that end up being super racist. desperately looking for the one game that looked at punch out and saw the things that are actually enjoyable about it

[bigprettygothgf]

oh my god how are there still people trying to say sub zeros f2 in mk11 was reactable. if sonicfox cant react to it then that shit is not fucking reactable

[thetruejerrycan]

I would really like it if Slayer in Strive had a low attack out of Dandy Step on a similar level to Paul's Demolition Man from Tekken. One of Dandy's biggest weaknesses is that followups are either mids or reactable overheads, so a damaging low would really help open up defenders

Thinkin about how bad powerscaling discourse is again lmao.

Y'all really be using real life physics and math for fictional worlds and characters.

You cannot just apply real world physics to fiction unless the author establishes their fictional worlds abides by real life physics. Otherwise, the author has free reign to do anything they want physics be damned.

I do not care if a character needs whatever metric tons of force to pull off a certain feat. It doesn't matter how strong something needs to be to break a boulder of a certain size. If the author didn't give the numbers themselves then you're projecting reality on a character that doesn't exist in it.

As an example, lets take Makoto from Blazblue. She can do an uppercut so hard that it sends her opponent into the moon, plants a giant imprint of her fist on said moon, and shatters the moon completely.

For powerscaling, this would mean Makoto can at any time, blow up the planet by punching really hard. However, in the context of Blazblue Makoto can only do this by getting enough meter to use her Astral Finish. The move is super reactable, Makoto can just whiff or just get blocked. She has to confirm a specific hit that she dumps all her energy into just to do it. Otherwise, Makoto is mostly throwing very strong, but not moon destroying punches. She can't start a fight with that punch nor can she just simply land it.

Are you now telling me anyone who can theoretically out-perform Makoto in hand-to-hand combat enough to not get hit by her Astral Finish is a planatary level threat? That's dumb. Every Blazblue character is capable of withstanding a moon obliterating attack because they can block? That's even more dumb!

Also that word: "perform". That's important in any battle. You can't apply numbers to a performance, that's a skill. Real life MMA fighters don't win their battles because of their powerscaling numbers. It's just raw skill expression of battle. Not to mention the numerous other factors that go into a fight. How's their mental health, physical health, the environment, weather, focus, knowledge of who they're fighting, and what are their wants and needs?

If you ask me, any character can win any fight all thanks to our lord and saviour:

Context

That's what makes a fight fun.

Last weekend I was having fun playing elphelt and kind of just mashing but I can tell that actually turning out results as the character is going to end up being really fraught once players catch up on the counterplay

Like her rekka is completely bonkers but the fact that she has to play multiple rounds of losing rps on her own offense to get there means she's going to be playing gio vs baiken against everyone

I've spent way too long in this game being like man it's such a hassle to have to save up 50 tension every time I want to try hitting someone, I wish gio had good mix on her own, maybe I should try picking up i-no or millia sometime so I'd have an easier time scoring hits

And then the monkey's paw curls and they release a character with unbelievable mix and a killer design who I really want to like but the deeper I go the more I realize that gio really did have everything I wanted all along. Or maybe the grass was the same straw colored tinder on both sides.

Tap dust RC I hope you can forgive me someday

i keep trying to figure out why crouching heavy into standing heavy almost always works on people with cammy because it does not link on the frame display in training mode. granted theres like a 1 frame gap but it is still reactable, as long as you're holding block. cpu gets it every time? final conclusion is that no one is blocking on wakeup. ever. and even after they get hit they dont block
