    @VoltEngage to me is a 6.5/10 game to me. I've tried to dig into but I just doesn't have the same pull for me. I should have 1000 hours in this game by now. 

     

    Pros:

    • Improved Graphics (Separate from Artstyle)
    • Improved Load Times
    • Good gameplay system
    • Four Hounds theme music is a banger

    Cons:

    • Meh Story
    • Hit or Miss art style. (Some characters look fine, other's i.e. Female Alear, don't)
    • Boring hub world. (The Somniel quickly becomes a chore)
    • Poor Replay factor (Weak single path story with that lacks paired endings)

    One of the Three Houses story paths on it's own has more replayability than Engage. At least you can vary things with your character bonds. The world in Engage just seems shallow overall. I mean Lythos is a country that seemingly has 5 residents. Lumera, Vander, Clanne, Flamme, and Alear. Typically the settings in Fire Emblem games seemed lived in. Elyos is the least interesting setting I've ever experienced in a Fire Emblem game. I beat the game and it was meh. There virtually is no difference in finishing it with Male or Female Alear.

     

    Edit: Also, there is arguably some Lannister type stuff going on with 

      Reveal hidden contents

    one of the DLC characters. Nel from the DLC was in love with the Alear of her universe. Nel is a daughter of Sombron. Alear is the son/daughter of Sombron. I mean technically if your Alear romances her they aren't related since their different universes but it's still seems wrong. It would be a like a parallel universe version of Sue Storm hooking up with another realities Johnny Storm 🤢

     

    I guess I'm not going to strain my processor until I get to upgrade it and play PoR instead. Last time I gave it a shot the early-game was too much of a slow burn and I got bored. 🫠

    My backlog is so crazy that I forgot that I wanted to play Engage. 💀

     

    @Darc_RequiemWhat do you think of the game? I played it a bit yesterday before the Suns-Wizards "trade" news broke out. Only got through Ch. 1.

     

    The Fawn Brigade projects to be asstastic. Vander looks sick, but he also looks so much like a pure bred Jeigan that I'm afraid he'll die in a cutscene mid-game. Clamme has fucking 10% Magic growth. Flamme is almost untrainable because she's out there doing the grand total of 1 x2 damage on most units while also being squishy as hell. I haven't seen such a fine crop of busts since I last looked at the Orlando Magic roster.

     

    Game looks good tho. I heard the story is wack but the gameplay is good. So far, it kinda looks the part. Especially the story being trash. Good grief.

    Finally got some time to play this game and lab Blanka for a bit. I was going to play for 5 minutes and then lament how weak he is and how he needs buffs, but he seems pretty damn strong in this version. In fact, the sheer number of his offensive options is pretty overwhelming. Great Blanka ball very safe on block, quick recovery for throw shenanigans, full screen command grab, great pokes, Blanka chan trickery, backstep roll shenanigans, new airborne ball, etc., etc.

     

    Seeing how there's no longer any SRK character threads, can anyone direct me towards a reputable combo page? I'm getting too old to figure this stuff out on my own. @Voltwhere do you get your tech for our favorite character?

    The Lounge Discord is infested with these animals. 874078908440522812.webp?size=128&quality

     

    @Psychoblueis actually maining that disgusting cosplayer, wearing Phoenix Sons colors no less, so he definitely can point you in the """right""" direction.

    I was doing some Guile trials yesterday when I remembered there was a bit of a discussion around his frame perfect Sonic Booms at some point. I think in practice this really is a non-issue, I actually had to deliberately use a different timing than I'm used to for charge moves to get the non-perfect version. 

    Facts. I thought the Perfect Booms would be a lot harder than this.

     

    I was getting them with no effort at all like "Damn. I might have to change my pronouns on Twitter to I'm/Him 🤣

    On meta critic, the negative reviews pertain to the game going woke. I mean honestly, politics aside how can any person give this game a 2 or 3 out of ten? Capcom did EVERYTHING.

     

     

    Salt and hate have no logic. They might even be MK stans malding that Capcom is dunking on everybody right now.

     

    Literally no one that matters cares. Why bother paying attention to this kind of nonsense?

    like yeah, I can see some people really grinding WTM and would want their hard work to pay off, but who doesn’t love a fair fight?

    My guy, WT mode is for DEGENERATES.

     

    Metro City is full of crooks trying to unlock Cammy's cheeks, crackhead story fiends, people who want to make their ultimate waifu, and sickos who want to see what busted move/moveset combinations they can make.

     

    No one there cares about fair fights, they'll pull out a blicky from their inventory like Ja Morant if they have one.

    They messed with something since the beta, the game feels a lot more responsive. Optimization, I guess.

     

    Also, JP is fucking absurd. I really like how each of his fireballs clearly has a purpose. He can't set up a void and then throw the command grab fireball, that's important to remember in that matchup.

     

    I was really just messing around in Arcade mode and trying to figure out the best controller layout. Gonna deal with some work stuff so I can go to World Tour.

    Dunno how you niggas fail a simple double tap.

    Is one of the easiest moves to do, if you can dash, you can 22

     

    Sounds like all of you should be playing with modern controls 😏

    I can do 22 motions but I can't DR. 😭
