Mattatsu

Anyone know of any good resources, YouTube channels, or communities for Shmups (shoot ‘em ups, aka, the classic Raiden-type arcade shooting games)? I grabbed R-Type Final 2 yesterday and am having a blast with it. Now I’m getting interested in really digging into these games more, but can’t find much online (other than a somewhat inactive subreddit).

Use Mimic. I believe you have it already. Then again, not sure how a mage build would do in those tight corridors. I’m dual wielding katanas and have a lantern on my hip and went through those guys pretty easily. My mimic just spams these guys with attacks and I come up from behind and unsheathe R2 them and then I back away to let the Mimic get their attention again and then go back in.

Idk what you guys are talking about, basically skipped the whole last page, but it looks like Testament being agender is from Japan

Dude is fast

Oh, and I watched a clip or two of the best rune farming spot in the game, but I purposely didn’t look up how to get there, but last night, as I sprinted Torrent past some enemies, desperately looking for goodies and a grace in a new land, I spotted a place that looked familiar. Looked down and there it was… there’s no way that isn’t intentional by the way. That area is filled with rune pickup items that each grant you like over 50k. It hasn’t been patched out yet, so yeah, that spot has to be on purpose. bless their hearts

I still rock the default Samurai uniform and changed my face to resemble Iron Maiden’s Eddie from the Senjutsu cover… Couldn’t get there 100% of course, but it looks decent. Will post a screenshot once I hop on. album cover for reference:

To clarify some things…

I will say that there’s a certain event in the story that disrupts the land a bit, exposing this area, and it’s likely in an earlier part of the map that you likely moved on from. Dont want to spoil where it is and what the story event is but…

I also do hope Capcom addresses their license BS before that update. I’d like to give it a shot, but I’m still mad at them about that.

Sorry man, Elden Ring has consumed my life. The game is a masterpiece (but absolutely massive). I played 3S last night though as I needed a break and realized I need to balance in FGs more. I’m slammed this weekend but will lab CF next week and will prep to play next weekend if you’re around.

It’s not in an area mandatory for game completion (afaik), but is in an area of a pretty important side quest. It’s also not a direct reward for killing a boss or something, but is basically right off the path and pretty noticeable, but you need to have the right item to access it, which is…

These new combos/routes look very expensive. A lot of them are EX move into EX move, but there are also just buffs to normal specials and button links (and perhaps more EX combos were shown because they’re flashier). Actually looks like a really fun update… There will still be several things I don’t love about the game, but I am excited to try it. It looks like a lot of fun. I am not a fan of them dumping all this cool extra shit this late in the game. It makes sense, and should help extend the life of it until SF6, but they need to fuck off with taking 6 years to release a decent version of the game.

Oh my god, he does! This update may actually be pretty awesome. It won’t happen, but if they could do the bare minimum for the netcode and add a Wi-Fi indicator, I’d be very happy

I haven’t really watched SFV too much in a while, but did they super buff everybody? There were quite a few things I’ve never seen before

Mimic Tear is still broken. Pulled him out and he immediately put Blood Grease on his Nagakiba and started putting in work

Yeah, my +10 Mimic Tear often outlives me and I have like 40 Vig points lol. Dude is a beast. Not sure how strong his offence is now after this nerf, but as long as he is still somewhat agro and distracts the enemy’s attention off me, then I’m not mad, as it won’t stop me from getting these bosses to bleed mad damage.

Yeah, I had to wait until I was like level 95 with a +10 mimic tear to kill him (the solo one in Caelid anyway, not sure about another). he drops like 100k runes though, which was a nice reward.

This is a good thread of tweets where Daigo talks about his opinions on the mechanics of SFV (chip, VT, etc). read the comments of the tweet to see the screenshots of Daigo’s translated stream

I don’t mind FF and RS, I guess because they’re more natural, whereas having vampires and werewolves in SF feels wrong to me… Then again we have Blanka so idk lol. great avatar gif btw, “Here’s a hint!”

Digital Eclipse is doing the TMNT collection, so while it may not be perfect (have crappy menus/UI and lobbies, possibly), at least the online games should have rollback and have a somewhat decent netcode… The SF30A netcode isn’t great, especially when playing randoms (though we don’t know distances and if they’re wired/wifi, etc), but games with people on here in NA and have always been ok.

😭😭😭

They will for sure, but I would actually die from laughter if there was something like: * pending approval

I was real confused for a second… Had me wondering if I missed that NPC in BOTW 🤣
