Why is Slayer getting younger and removing his clothes in the trailer?

Slayer has transcended to True Dandyism.

Nobody can stop him now.

What's your take on why Ramlethal Valentine walks barefoot? Give it your best analysis or not

Isn't it obvious?

Clearly my girl hates shoes and I don't blame her, they can slow you down!

So you never saw A.B.A. gameplay from previous games?

Don't use ME as an example (lol)

Yikes, I'm late on this question XD

I've seen her gameplay here and there in the old games, just I've been too fixated on the XRD series and Strive in terms of lore that I never paid attention to any characters' gameplay or fighting styles until Strive at this point.

Still, it's cool to see that she's more...aggressive and 'confident' in her new gameplay compared to the old ones.

Me when I feel the dopamine kick in.

Faces you should RUN AWAY FROM AT ALL COSTS

Dizzy: "My husband is the King of Illyria!"

Elphelt: "My husband is a badass vampire samurai!"

Jack-O: "My husband is a nerd with muscles!"

A.B.A. : "My husband is a giant talking key."

Everyone: *backs away from A.B.A.*

I know you've answered Granblue questions and I want to know, who is Versusia? And how strong is she?

I'm no expert in Granblue lore, I know mainly the basics and a few of the complicated bits of the lore. But I can answer them to the best of my ability.

Versusia is essentially a 'God' or 'dragon' of destruction. Not unlike Susanoo from Blazblue, but the difference is that Versusia destroys specific people or entities that brings chaos to the Sky Realm. In other words, she behaves similarly to the Power of Order in the Blazblue franchise.

Basically, she's a force of nature or the Sky Realm's 'antibody' to eliminates any 'diseases' the bring 'sickness' in the Sky Realm. Those diseases are Lucilius, Belial, and Beezlebub.

She's powerful enough to critically wound Belial of all people with a single blast of energy with little effort. While you can argue that Belial was caught off guard, it doesn't change the fact that she had put Belial out of commission.

Secondly, she's strong enough to clash against Beezlebub who is Astral and those two were effecting space and time in the Zero dimension from their clashes. Judging from the looks of the battle, Versusia appears to have the advantage over Beezlebub.

Currently, Lucilius and Belial are trapped in the Zero dimension with her, at least from the looks of it.

If I had to guess on how strong she is, she's definitely a threat to most Primal Beasts and Astrals.

Question about Spider-Man 2. If Kraven was at his prime, would he be able to kill Venom?

Unlikely so.

Based on the narrative intent, despite not showing as much in the story, Venom was supposed to be a major threat that requires two Spider-Men to take down physically.

Cancer or not, Kraven was giving it his all in that fight against Venom. Even if Kraven used the symbiote's weakness to sound, it'll be extremely difficult to take down Venom. The reason why is because it's implied heavily that Venom is much superior and deadlier than even Spider-Man with the symbiote.

Over the course of the game, the symbiote has been evolving and changing. As we saw after the fight, Venom has demonstrated power that's not unlike Knull and it that puts everything that Kraven has done to shame.

The purpose of that fight is to demonstrate who is the deadlier predator and as we can see, Venom proved himself to be just that.

Not saying Kraven won't put up an increasingly difficult fight at his prime, but beating Venom might just prove to be incredibly difficult. Even Peter with the Anti-Venom suit that was the 'answer' and anthesis to the symbiote couldn't outright best Venom at his strongest.

This is the alternate ending of MK 1.

[valentinecult]

According to Marvel's Spider Man director, they wanted to make the story of the Venom symbiote based off of a drug addiction. Isn't the symbiote an alien life form, not a drug or science experiment?

Technically, in the Ultimate Spider-Man comics, it was science experiment. A man made organism.

Now, yes it is an alien lifeform and it is confirmed as such by Insomniac.

Based on the modern depiction of Venom and the symbiote, the symbiote is similar to a drug. When Spider-Man wears it, it increases his strength, speed, and agility. It feels good because of the chemicals it releases, most likely the dopamine. It can also effect mood swings.

We've seen this in Spider-Man 3 and while fans think the dance scene is cringey, it's supposed to show how much the symbiote has altered Peter's personality. Peter Parker is normally this dorky, nerdy, and awkward boy. When wearing the symbiote, it makes him feel more confident and good about himself.

The symbiote very much like a drug. It is addicting and makes you feel unstoppable. The downside is that it increases aggression and an emotional imbalance. The symbiote can change Peter's mood and attitude.

As we saw in the gameplay trailer, this is a Spider-Man who is seriously pissed off and fighting in a more brutal fashion. He even tossed an innocent man to the ground like he's a hinderance and is dismissive toward Miles.

Even the worse part, the symbiote can feed on your life force and kill you.

But we're talking about Spider-Man. Spider-Man is already strong, so obviously the symbiote won't drain the life out of him. Oh no, it will wind up corrupting him and turn him into something...monstrous.

There's this comic called a Spider's Shadow. A scenario where what if Spider-Man decided to keep the symbiote suit.

The result wasn't pretty. I'll tell you this, a full fledged symbiote Spiderman makes Venom look friendly in comparison.

Read it, it's terrifying as hell.

Cory Balrog stated that the Norse Gods are stronger than Greek Gods. How?

I heard of this and Cory sometimes likes to troll or whatever.

However, look at it like this...

The Norse Gods are actually more resourceful and creative compared to the Greek.

Their Greek counterparts are no doubt 'stronger' in terms of power and influence because they all embody aspects of nature. Poseidon isn't the god of the sea, he IS THE SEA!

Helios isn't the god of the sun, he IS THE SUN ITSELF!

While they're all strong, the Greek Gods are mostly and essentially overlords of specific attributes of nature.

The Norse and Aesir take up a more warrior-like life style. The Norse Pantheon aren't embodiments of nature. Take Thor for example, he doesn't personify thunder and lightening, he controls and commands it. That doesn't mean Thor isn't strong, he's physically the strongest Aesir God, more than Odin. Odin is the most powerful in terms of magic. The two of them even have more than one title, Thor is also called the God of Strength and Odin is called the God of Death sometimes.

In some degree, the Aesir Gods are more dangerous because they're prone to violent outbursts and they don't fear dying in battle. Battle is in their blood and this makes them more vicious than the Greek, at least in my opinion.

The Greek Gods are still more powerful, but the Norse Gods are more battle-hardened and resourceful.

If anything, the Norse Gods are perfect to match Kratos' physical prowess as a warrior, which is why he has tough time dealing with them. Holding back or not, the Norse Gods were able to give him a run for his money.

Okay, but question...why did Thor run away when Kratos was getting serious after he punched his tooth out?

I know majority claim that Thor got scared, which is not the case.

Thor loves fighting. He loves a good challenge.

The Blood Payment is that Thor wanted to see what Kratos can do. Take it from his POV, if someone killed my two sons who are strong warriors in their own right and my brother who CAN'T BE KILLED, I definitely want to know who is responsible and see what they're made of.

Secondly, Odin didn't want Kratos to be killed and firmly told Thor to not take all day, so Thor was on a time limit.

Punching Thor's tooth out from his mouth didn't really do much. It only amuses him, which goes to show you that Kratos has found his match.

Even if Kratos were to enter Spartan Rage, it still wouldn't be an easy fight, especially when Thor gets serious as we saw in the second fight.

[valentinecult]

But how did Kratos easily beat Thor in the final battle?

Easily? Oh no, my friend.

That battle with Thor wasn't easy at all and I'm already covered this in my previous posts.

We know how strong and exceptionally powerful Kratos can be, but Thor is a different animal.

Kratos' arsenal is more versatile compared to Thor who only wields one single weapon and Kratos is more a skilled fighter while Thor is more of a brawler.

However, despite having those key advantages, Thor's endurance and tenacity gives him the edge in tanking everything Kratos throws at him. Seriously, review the second fight. Kratos used EVERYTHING in his arsenal: The Leviathan Axe, The Blades of Chaos, The Draphnir Spear, and lastly a small knife. EVERY. THING.

After wearing down Thor, Kratos can be seen panting heavily to catch his breath. That is evidence to suggest that Thor really gave Kratos a serious run for his money.

In terms of physical strength, Kratos and Thor are arguably equal. However, Thor is more tenacious and he's faster than Kratos.

Don't forget also, even after all that, Thor still got up and grabbed Mjolnir to continue fighting BEFORE Kratos talked him out of it.

Kratos is strong, we know this much. Yet, we can't downplay or dismiss certain deities like Thor. Even Kratos wrote in his notes that Thor is one of the very few opponents that can hit extremely hard. Kratos isn't the type to underestimate his enemies.

Dude literally hit the World Serpent so hard, he sent it straight back in time.

Mortal Kombat 1 is coming soon and it appears that Geras is back. That means he is serving Liu Kang?

Before I answer this, I must confess I did have doubts of him ever returning, but here we are.

Anyway, the Keepers of Time trailer implies that is the case, but their relationship appears to be more like that of close friends than master and servant.

However, Geras most likely plays the role as Liu Kang's advisor and counselor to guide him in using the Hourglass more carefully. According to Liu Kang, creating and crafting a timeline to fit one's vision is an complex goal.

Creating the new timeline must've taken many trials and errors.

It's also a smart idea for Liu Kang entrust Geras to guard the Hourglass because Geras knows the inner workings of its power and pretty much, nobody can actually kill him for good, if we can assume that he returned to life after Shao Kahn defeated him in Aftermath MK 11.

It looks like that Geras has came to warn Liu Kang of an upcoming threat that will compromise peace.

I know many of seen Shang Tsung in the first trailer, but this is very likely a red herring to the real antagonist.

Quick question about the Fatui HArbingers, Delusions are said to be too dangerous and deadly to wield for residents in Teyvat. How is it that the Harbingers are able to wield one without killing themselves?

It depends on the Fatui Harbinger.

Keep in mind, the Fatui Harbingers are exceptionally powerful in their own right. Certain Harbingers like Pierro, Capitano, Dottore, and Columbina are implied to not be human, given that Nahida stated that they can rival Archons.

I wouldn't be surprised if Pierro can wield multiple Delusions. The Harbingers are very advanced and exceed human limitations when wielding elemental magic.

There was an interview with Daisuke Ishiwatari a while ago where he mentioned "appealing to global standards", which has me on edge regarding the future of Guilty Gear. What are your thoughts?

Let's just wait and see.

I'd say be calm and hope that Guilty Gear continues to have more support.
