holy deadgameroni
>>563366948Zoe is going to be so annoying to fight. Or Neko Arc tier
>>563366819she was shooketh
>>563366819Shit like this is part of the charm kek
This is really unacceptable input lag
%triforce
>>563377070I hear Invincible VS is bad too. Shame Xbox can't pull itself out of the gutter
>>563365886SistersWho do we think the remaining three champions are this year?Our guesses are Riven, Lux and Rengar!Why?Riven would be an amazing second rep for Noxus. Her League of Legends gameplay was in fact inspired by fighters! If not Riven, i'd go with Samira or KatarinaLux is the poster child of League of Legends. And would be the best rep for DemaciaRengar is the normie choice to appease the people who want champs that don't sell skins or want very plain "fighter" champs in the game ala Sett. Jokes aside I think he'll be an amazing addition and Ixtal's rep!
>>563366948this sounds like pure kuso, people are playing that? lol i think even i would get filtered
>>563377748Invincible vs isn't anywhere near as bad.
>>563377748Invincible vs has low input latency on Xbox actually lol
>>563379612That's what I mean. 2XKO too from what I hear, but Playstation has such a monopoly on events that they never use Xboxs. It was surprising when Texas Showdown did
>>563377070Whenever this gets brought up people fail to acknowledge how 3 frames / 48ms are artifically added and removed to enable godlike cross continent online.Frama data is tailored with this in mind. Fastest overheads are 22f instead of 20f. Fastest jab is 6f instead of 4f
>>563383329yeah honestly this data point people keep reposting doesn't really mean anything
good night tuko
i got curious about strive 2.0 this evening and went to go check it out but man after playing 2xko it just feels like the slowest, clunkiest dogshit imaginable, like genuinely unplayable to me>>563385432good night
>boot up 2xko>load into casual lobby>wait for someone to queue up as well>match with someone>have to walk all the way to the other side of the lobby to accept match>he declines the match>the game doesnt automatically put you back in queue like literally every other competitive game in the world>restart queue>walk all the way across the lobby to accept match>opponent actually accepts this time>his edater uwu girlfriend takes the entire 40 seconds to select her favourite jinx skin>finally game starts>crashes and have to restart all over again>do all the above all over again>spend the entire game getting up backed by a caitlyn akaliyeah haha im good i think il go play literally anything else
>>563389002Can't defend avatar lobbies to sell cosmetics. One day they realize no one buys a mlp backpack for their lil guy and make ranked function more convenient. They seem aware and willing to change after rotating shop got adressed recent patch
I was on the toilet doing my business when I thought of a potentially really cool idea riot could do with a new fuse. The Float Fuse. At champ select after picking your champs you can pick the Float Fuse to universally airdash in all 8 directions with a neat slide with foward momentum if done low into the ground akin to melee. Length and speed will vary depending on character. Now obviously the idea of turning all into Ahri sounds horrifying but I feel like it could be balanced out by decreasing ground speed and being able to air block after 10 frames instead of 5 and starting with lower health due to your new light weight.
>>563392807I was thinking the could add a third character to your team with much more reduced health, but then that would break everything I think
A realistic take for upcoming 6th fuse?They want to add 1 per year which is nice here is some more bullshit:Defence Fuse - Parry doesn’t cost meter (probably way worse than freestyle still)Anti-Air Fuse - All your ground normals become air unblockable.Punisher Fuse - Gains eject and all attacks do double damage to assist characters.
>>563378085it is lol
>>563383329Nigga, I play this game with people offline , it feels like ass
>>563398147>gains ejectok thatd be sickIdk how theyd bind it though the game has enough buttons already
>>563392807>>563398147Fuses are modifiers on the tag systems specifically. It's why fury and pulse got implemented into the base gameplay instead of staying fuses. Air dashes and parrys don't align with fuse philosophy. Punisher seems good though.
Fuse that makes your burst become roman cancelBased or cringe?
>>563398147Terrible idea
>>563411064>throw prc removed in strive just to come back in 2xko
>>563352579holy shit im sweating so hard trying to do this...if you told me a year ago i'd be putting this much effort into learning a f*male character, much less AKALI of all characters, i'd have told you to fuck off, but it feels like i'm having to prove something to myself
>>563419018lol yea..the delayed j2H is really annoying
>>563419441if i dont fail the charge j.h at the start, it's the microdash>2h (i get 3h sometimes), if it's not that then the second 2h in the combo falls just short of hitting lolunc can't be this washed :wilted_rose:
>>563419634for the microdash,you'll never get 3H if you're using the dash macroyou aren't a decrepit boomer still manually dashing, are you..?
>>563419835there are too many buttons in this gamei just need to clean up my inputs
>>563419835I know a vanilla sf4 vet in his 40s insisting on using arcade stick with 6 buttons only, no macros, no os to auto chase rolls, only playing offline all for honor. He'd easily be GM if he touched ranked
the big thing is that whenever im struggling with a new combo i just have to make a whiny post on 4chan about how i can't hit it and then i'll immediately start hitting itthat's why i simply cant let this thread die, i won't have that tech anymore>>563421267what a god lol
honestly akali is really fun and enhancing my fantasies even furtherthe visual in my head of akali throwing down a smoke bomb and darius coming crashing out of it with a shoulder tackle is so goodthis game is so fun holy shit
>>563426616Lore n setting enjoyer eh?A strange thing I noticed is the absence of fanfic or less fanart. Other fighting games are standalone titles if you think that one dude looks cool you have to contribute to its discourse.Sometimes a big IP can be a drawback because all of those surface level design appreciators engage at LoL outposts instead to reach a bigger audience.
>>563427621i pick and choose pretty tightly, i'm only familiar with a very small percentage of the setting (lost a lot of interest ages ago when they did their first rewrite)that does remind me i have to get back to writing my fic fuckkk
>>563427621There's a decent bit of fanart out there, though a lot of it is basically a subset of the regular established lol fanart stuffDo regular fg fags even do fics in the first place
https://x.com/SuperKawaiiDesu/status/2043245332260102299?s=20skd akali bnbs
>>563437932welp time to see how many hrs it takes me to land THESE
>>563427621I'm seeing a lot of Ahri art and even tuco Caitlyn. A few Akali's too, but that's about it
please give jinx a sluttier skin riot thanks :prayge:
>>563439515never mind lol holy shit what the hell is wrong with this guy
>>563441293there's such an insane number of possible points of failure in these combos, jesus>undercharged j.h and didn't combo>overcharged j.h and whiffed>didn't delay j.2h long enough and 2h whiffed>didn't delay second j.2h loop long enough and second 2h whiffed>accidentally held any of the jumping 2h or h buttons for more than 1f>fucked up the dash jump after the js2>whatever the fuck is going on with the final run>jump>j2h>kunai>land>2h>2hi've made it to the very end and fucked it up once or twice but holy shit i am dying
damb... dead shit game...
>>563450061Nah. I'm still kinda figuring out Akali
>>563453875ive yet to manage anything cool with her in an actual game, i'm having fun but i have 0 hands with her
>no one in the thread runs duos togetherWow the main selling point of this game really flopped
>>563462780ive done it with like 4 or so dudes from herefun times
Uhh you didn't have to say it like that
yes i did
>>563462780Bruh I'm a Goldie in a tank full of grandmasters
>league of legends fighting game>not a single attractive and breedable brown woman in the gamewhat went so wrong
Add nidalee
>>563472123Only if she isn't a lesbian in2xko
akali's smoke bomb being an install for her is kinda sweetI was worried about how theyd translate it but its actually quite cool
>>563473765idk how league's akali players would like it but i think it's neat
Why did 2xko flop?
>>563475630Fighting games are niche genre that doesn't appeal to the f2p live service normies that make up Riots audience. No amount of streamlining or attempts to casualize the game can fix this.
>>563475630even the highest performing fighting games would be considered flops by riot + no up-front price of entry = even less money recouped >but what about sf6 it has a whole 20k playersthat's nothing to the type of numbers riot wants from their projectsno man
>>563462054I'm trying to get my brain to memorize her Jump 2H>Jump H jump cancel stuff. My brain is just like "Huh?"
>>563475630Sadly the game doesnt appeal to egirlies such as you
Purple
How do you puppet? I should learn it cause I heard Akali's S1 can do it
>>563475965Had a similar thought. It might have/had 7k daily basically 2nd biggest fighting game and upper suits at Riot would still hit them with: "this sucks dude stop burning money"In an attempt to maybe save their fired work buddies through a possible community outcry opposite happened they destroyed their own reputation and sparked bad faith videos en masse.Game is fire and if you put in the time, got fundies and don't mind tag you quickly can't resist. Sadly all that forced drama strays new blood away and they'd rather dunk on it further despite not knowing why they dislike it themselves.
>>563482279It comes down to money doesn't it? I feel like we're making more than LoR did. Despite the amount of shit in that game.
>>563482279Recent patch did good, Akali is beloved, devs seem aware what community wants and they try to fix it fast. 2xko can only improve as time goes on with Tokon's release being a breaking point with where the tag community ends up.Current Fgc climate doesn't forgive anything if it happens to be unbalanced, too simple/boring a tiresome hate spiral starts like we just saw with Invincible vs. Guys like Hikari or Wawa won't migrate if what I'm afraid of it playing more like 1v1 instead of 4v4 is true.What I'm trying to say: difficult but reputation can be restored and I love its potential direction
>>563481321So not an expert but the way I understand it is after you active tag out of your character, you can press certain inputs on your now active character, and the other character will do their puppet input tooThe easiest one that can set this up to practice puppet akali s1 is probably caitlyn who also has a good s1 moveThe sequence you'd do to practice is call cait assist with akali on point, handshake tag to cait, press s1 as cait and akali should also do her puppet input s1 too, and her follow up s1 should work tooThis sequence is useful especially for freestyle, since you can swap back to akali after puppeting and have a cait bullet incoming to help protect, but depending on your team it may or may not be that usefulThere's a video somewhere that can help explain it but I don't remember it, hope this helps
>>563486253Oh so I have to call Ahri (who I use), tag, hit S1 and the same should work?
>>563488923Yeah certain moves lost the ability to be puppeted like ahri air s2/6s2 recently.Easiest thing for me is press and hold chargeable special/heavy tag out keep on holding while ideally pressing a different button on point.
>>563489324Ah okay yeah I was doing s1, call in ahri, tag, and was mashing s1 but nothing was happening. Thank you kindly.
>>563475630You want to know why? 10 years in development. That really says it all.
>>563491150This + Riot makes one have higher expectations. Nonetheless dropping that line is corny nothinburger complain
>>563495731shes cute
>>563491597It really is annoy to see kek
Quick reminder: Akali is 2/5 ease of use. Can't wait for 1/5 carpal tunnel
>>563482279Game was ten years in development paying California salaries, cmon man
>>563502414>league akali>tuko teemononcanon porn please fix
>>563504914Bart spit his catch phrase and the crowd goes wild>>563491597
>>563514527I play this game more than you lmao. Just telling you the truth of why the game didn't succeed. No need to get mad about it.
Ahri charm continues to spawn fanart featuring eve
akali buffs, please
>>563527230I never posted the image lol, just realized
>>563536050i don't think she need it
>>563536050I can see her getting a ahri/ww patch and getting a combo consistency patchHer 2H will randomly whiff and side swap sometimes in the middle of the combo, and they might make her 3h conversions easier
>>563546873>and they might make her 3h conversions easier>After i finally started getting it
>>563475630Because they made a bad video game that sucks shit. Next question.
>>563548905norm would've loved tuko
auuuaaaa...akali too hard...everyone i fight can do her 90 hit combos...
okay go combo himYOU GOT TAGGED INGET IN THEREFUCKING DO SOMETHINGSAVE MEE
>>563557765had to watch at .5 speed to understand wtf was going on, that having been said, KEKAROO
mmm perhaps i shouldve just jumped straight into ranked instead of spending time on casuals
>>563558091and they said this game wouldn't be able to translate the experience of playing league to a fighting game kek
>>563559538I was playing with my shitter casual duo blitz and tag launched them in once just to find out they were on their phone mid match , they were hoping they'd get to cosplay yummiSupport players, never again
>>563558091
>console crashers are so bad that now they crash my matches with themholy fuck lol...it is not my night!
Akali looks so fucking cool in motionHer base skin sucks so much compared to her animations I can only conclude riot sabotaged it on purpose to sell more skinsYou rat bastards
Pool Party Akali and Pool party sona in 2xko (dl55 ai upscaled)
Sony is the secret sixth champ
>>563561113yea, literally the classictag launch into airborne idle animation>>563559538>>563561263
Teemos spirit blossom skin actually has custom colored shrooms for each of his chroma colors, that's pretty sick
i hate the big bodies in this game so much
today's games were really inconsistent for my 3H combos, so i decided to explore more with the homeless version of the comboit CAN full corner-to-corner carry, and it does more than the j[H] version..
>>563569684me too but for completely different reasons than you
>>563569962why do you hate them then
evanalmighty's combo does 446my new combo does 441, while being WAY easierskd's does like 475, but we don't worry about that..same as before, the only real point of concern is the initial slightly delayed j2h
https://x.com/310_progressive/status/2043395449835671816next thing to stealsidenote recognized him as a venom player
>>563573034Stealing this
hmmm i think the character crisis continuesakali is just too selfish of a point char, her assists being so dogshit means that you really can't play darius with her imo, he needs at least a decent assist to play at all. unfortunate bc his tackle feels pretty good for her but her only contribution to his side of things is that gloriously good super assistmaybe i try a projectile assist char next... jinx? cait?
>>563579874the way i approach it is to play her point almost exclusively, even though ahri's my mainthen once she's dead, she'll finally be useful with her super assistsbut aside from the super assist,her 6T is still useful for blockstring stuffprojectile means they can't just parry it for a free escape and knockdown
updated the todbumped up from killing 950 to 1000
>>563581750Hero we don't deservehow to lure in homestuck goblins to show up at locals? I know for a fact we've got 2 challengers in our city, one even registered at startgg but never showed up despite of it. Instead they livestream and do ranked 24/7
Locals? In this economy?
>>563582708no ideai stopped going to locals after the pandemic, so i'm one of those lazy fucks, too
>>563583343Alongside it online improved. Nowadays sweaty practice buddies/rivalries have fallen short and locals became more akin to a social party with fg theme.
why did they make warwick so fucking hot
dead shit game
>>563583856the sweaty practice partners are still a thing, but they just play online instead of in someone's living roomand yea, even before i stopped going, my locals were primarily just hanging out to game, and then eat out together
finna watch fitzcarraldo
>>563584664oops meant to post this in /tekgen/ not /dsgg/
Oof I am playing fucking SLOPPY with Akali now that I've jumped back into ranked. >>563580762That's how I use it.
So I've been thinking, the game has 160 players right? and riot fired 80 of the devs right?So there were 160 people developing the game right?I'm just saying that almost every player could have been a dev at one point...
Wtf... I just wanted to give this game a chance, BUT:>79 viewers on bitchTV>isn't on steam deck
>>56359052488 pussy get it right! Also it's fucking free lmao just try ithttps://youtu.be/XnhbSvOffwA?si=nsCNJmWc4FfRZHy4
