  1. And like $20 for all the DLC which is pretty killer. Definitely eyeballing it.
  2. Yeah the latest Strive patch seems neat. Millia in particular seems zippy as all hell now. Hopefully we can line something up soon to play whatever. 🙂 And yeah I hear ya about weeknights. SFV has always pissed me off regardless of when I play it. Even then some nights its not worth potentially getting wound up so having something more meditative (like you said, MvC:I or something like that) can be really good to noodle with and just relax. I remember back in ye olde days I would just fire up something like MvC2 and fuck around for hours. I'm not sure if it is modern games or modern me but I don't feel that as much. Maybe something really crunchy like Skullgirls would be fun to mess with like that?
  3. Don't take it personally. I've been ducking everyone for the past 2 months. 😎 I feel the call again and I figure Strive could use one more Ram player out there. Really contribute to the online experience.
  4. Yeah Rooks was the first person I thought of with this patch. Hopefully Ky feels better overall but I think Strive may just not be a game where they are going to put in strong zoning projectiles (or at least not until there is a paradigm shift) which makes his design kinda funky. Hope you like Dragon Install! Unrelated, (well kinda sorta since she has a projectile) I just remembered that I never fired the game up last patch to check out the I-No changes either.
  5. Yeah MK11 was forever ago. I think the last time we played anything was Strive and that was near launch? Life happens. I've been in the FG cooler for a good couple of months myself. Stressful times at work and (I think you've said something to this effect before) FGs aren't a great "cool off" game so after a 9-12 hour day I just crashed on whatever else I felt like doing. 5-6 sets isn't too bad for a run. One thing that kinda gets glossed over with FGs is the mental tax of playing them, especially like you said when you're really focusing on what is going on. I can immediately feel when my focus starts to drop and that is when matches also start to tank. I'm good for like an hour max anymore. So long as you're having fun, that is the important part. I still have MK11 installed on my PS4 I think so maybe we could fire that up sometime. I think I remember one Skarlet combo. 😉
  6. Amusingly that is also why I like Ram in Strive 😄 Its been so long since we played, I was trying to remember who you played. I was pretty sure it was Kitana. You playing online when you fire it up?
  7. This patch has roused me out of my crypt. The double-barrel Nago patch buffs slightly terrifies me; Shahenzan already ran over me before. The Ram changes look fun. Hopefully I can crack into it later today.
  8. Play what you love brother. 👍 Who you playing in MK11 these days?
  9. Lol I hear you man. There is something in the alchemy of SFV that I think triggers some people. I am right there with you. Like I get stressed playing Strive but it is a totally different experience. It's more that the game is intense. With V I feel like I'm fighting the mechanics and the netcode as much as the other person (and some of the character designs spike my blood pressure). I haven't played since before Goldlewis. I definitely want to get back in there and probably will now that my schedule is calming down. I'm also definitely gonna grab the new Melty. Looks like a grand time.
  10. Super late on this but congrats man, I knew you could do it! So much of this hobby is just "time in" so if you keep chipping away at it, you can definitely get to Gold (and beyond if you want to really keep at it). There will be ebbs and flows so don't let a bad run discourage you. I can try to fire up V sometime if you ever want to get matches in. I'm also insanely rusty (haven't played since the last time we played, I'm pretty sure) so I'll be an easy win. 😄
  11. Yeah definitely. The difficulty of playing T7 is kind of overblown in the sense that to just get in there and get started, it really isn't that bad. There is a shitload you can and will need to learn but that is more on the side of long-term-depth and is the kind of stuff that comes with time/practice. Had a similar experience with +R. T7 was also when I figured out I don't really like 3D fighters much anymore so wasn't particularly motivated to stick with it. For anyone that is into it, its great the game has had such a healthy lifecycle.
  12. I have zero idea how Melty this blood is but it sure looks neat and does tickle similar centers in my brain that enjoyed Under Night so much. Plus the game is damn pretty. Its one of those games that looks like a fake game with how crisp everything is. Also between this, Strive, and KOF15 we are in the New Age of Dry UIs. There are worse problems of course and at least none of them (IMO) are straight ugly like MvC:I.
  13. Drip or no drip, that one lady stabbed the other one in the heart with a spear and that is a-okay in my book.
  14. I thought this was a new thread and was gonna tag Darc in it just to troll him. T7 is real fun but I realized pretty quickly on that I wasn't going to be able to put enough time into it consistently to enjoy it. I run too hot and cold on FGs for something quite that crunchy. I wish games like this were available online when I was younger.
