I can still find enjoyment out of playing if I'm on somewhat equal footing with my opponent and still manage to lose (because at least it's easier to realize my mistakes and improve), but I will admit that I tend to get a bit tilted when people much better than me are rocking my world, especially with hyper aggressive characters like Falcon, Fox, and Pikachu.

I’m never on equal footing with my opponents. I’m either leagues above or completely outclasses (and I’m outclassed more often then not)

can you consistently perform standard combos with your main? spotdodge? tech off the stage?

if you can't do anything like that, than it's probably an issue of needing more practice, not skill.

Spotdodging and teching off the stage? Like... I don’t even know what that means? And like... I think I can do standard combos but since I don’t even know what the other two are then maybe I don’t.

Spotdodging is a game mechanic where you drop your shield for a few frames and give yourself temporary invulnerability. it’s a very vital thing to know in competitive since the difference between having your shield be attacked or letting it harmlessly pass through you is pretty big.

All you have to do to perform it is push your shield button, then pull down on the joystick. pretty simple stuff, the hard part with it is learning when the right time to spot dodge is. do it at the wrong time, and you leave yourself wide open for all sorts of punishes.

teching off the stage is a bit trickier, but it’s not monumentally so. it uses the same premise as spotdodging, just slightly different execution: when you’re in the air or off-stage, you’re very vulnerable, and obviously, your opponents will be ready to punish you if you make a mistake. However, teching does allow you to have a bit of control over that. When you hit the ground, you have an 11(I think?) frame window to hit the shield button. If you hit it during that time, you’ll land right up and have a few frames of invulnerability. Of course, that’s just the basic kind of tech(yeah, you heard me right, there’s more than one kind of tech :) ) but that’s the gist of how it works.

Really, the easiest way to get better at the game is to experiment with everything and anything, until you feel comfortable with how you play. Have you tinkered with the controls, for example?(at the very least, changing the right stick to a tilt attack rather than a smash attack is basically required for high levels of play.) Have you tried different characters to see if you like someone else’s playstyle a bit more than your current main? Maybe practice some combos with another character and see if you can do them easily. Stuff like that creates a foundation, and then you can build on it by learning the more complex stuff for the character(s) you main.

Now that I’m finally making some serious money, I’m debating over whether I want to go for a chromebook as my personal laptop, or a bigger gaming pc.

The issue is that my wants vs my needs are clashing heavily right now. I need something portable that I can carry around easily and that runs web browsers and the like easily, but I also want a computer that can run anything other than ****ty mobile games on the google play store. It’s a tough decision to make.

I remember vividly that one episode where they nabbed every single ranger from throughout the show up until that point for one battle. There was like an army's worth lmao.

In the sentai that Battle was amazing and the setup for Gokaiger, where Gokaiger was the only ranger team left on earth because all of those other rangers had to sacrifice their powers.

In the american version that battle was saved for the end, leading to lots of confusion as to where the rangers werethis whole time when they could have been helping.

FELLOW XENOBLADE/SAGA FAN, LOOK AT THIS.

THIS IS NEW OFFICIAL ART FROM MONOLITH SOFT, AND KOS-MOS FROM XENOSAGA 3, NOT XB2, IS HERE.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??

(also tagging Rie Sonomura Rie Sonomura because Elma)

Better mean we're getting remasters because I sure as hell ain't feeling inclined to spend hundreds for the original releases just to complete my collection.

Oh, and Rie is supposedly done with SB from what she said yesterday.

Another day, another loss. That's interesting and the players of the original FEXL seasonal mindsets are starting to produce. Things are slowly, but surely coming back to me after 20 years, later in this video, however. The noticeable differences in our potential, changes, and evolution in these games are apparent. I also have to readjust to online play, because this is indeed different in timed reaction and execution. I'll support and honor his channel.

I find it funny how KOSMOS is lumped with Xenoblade characters when Nintendo dont even own her
Click to expand...
Considering who created her & her appareance in XB2, I don't find it that surprising.

If anything, she belong more with Nintendo at this point than Namco, but you know copyright & all that funny stuff...
