I take offense to that. You know ArcSys is all about that lore too. 🤣
 
But I digress, I came here to post Samus in a bikini and I will not lose sight of that mission.
 
 

Also a fun way to fuck with former Marvel players. We can literally see Doom triangle dashing at us. 😳

This is half the reason I like her. She has sword buttons so decent neutral, but also other things Nago doesn’t like a regular forward dash and unlimited use of her specials, air specials, and 2 OD’s she can always use. I know that’s all basic stuff but the fact that Nago couldn’t do them is part of the reason I dropped him. I want to play GG and Nago felt like he was too often playing Samurai Shodon. Ram also looks just as cool, which is equally as important to me as gameplay. 
 
Back the the Overdrives for a second...the one thing that really grabbed my attention was that Caldavos recalls swords from anywhere at any time if you have 50 Tension, so you have more leeway to go wild with sword shots once you have meter. Basically it works the way I wish Nago’s OD did. Basically Ram can use meter to combo into immediate resource extension, whereas Nago is stuck setting up his bum ass command grab. His OD does reduce bloodrage, but only after it’s done rising from specials so it won’t actually save you if you’re 100% gonna hit max rage. 
 
Edit: I feel like I’m always shit talking Nago and making him sound bad. He’s definitely a good character and also super cool. There are just a bunch of tiny things that added up to me not wanting to play him anymore. 

I'm sure you've figured it out or will really quickly but the cliffs notes:
 
Poke the shit outta people. F.s and j.s can build a wall. 5H works too in longer range fights just don't over use it.
 
Her rekka is really good. You can stagger it to catch pokes and if you stagger it enough it becomes safe on block. You can also dash cancel the first hit which can be used for unreal dash pressure on block or very real oki in Combos. Also if you land the full rekka you get a safejump.
 
She can both put someone in the corner well and then convert almost any hit into a full wall break. Plus if you like to style she has some less practical but cool looking shit to land.
 
Since you already played Nago you'll probably be familiar with her buttons. They're surprisingly similar but Ram is basically always full blooded. Just remember she is kind of a "limbs" character and never throw H Sword midscreen unless it will kill or juggle to the corner and you'll do great.

I’m tired but I’m definitely gonna lab the shit outta Ram tomorrow. Finally a character I feel like I can cut loose with. She has damn near everything I’ve been looking for in a character. 

Managed to scrub my way to floor 8. Probably just gonna play casual for awhile I need to get better at doing  Kara 6k stuff on the p2 side or I'm not going to get anywhere. 
 
Finally played a may who I'm pretty sure was a Smurf account since they were only like level 5 and got absolutely shit on lol.  I- no,ky, and ram seem to be my hardest matchups right now

In losers side he went 2-0 and eliminated someone.
 

For some reason possibly as a joke, a level 9 CPU was allowed to enter a tourney as Kazuya.  But...
 
 

If I got that right watching AutoMattock's stream, it might be that in Strive meter is consumed not on Super activation but once the move becomes active and/or there's the super flash, thus allowing you to cancel the startup of a Super before the meter is spent into a Purple Roman Cancel. In AutoMattock's stream there was this case of an I-No who started her command grab super, you could see the startup animation, but she was kicked out of it before the move became active by a burst or something and she didn't lose meter in spite of it.
 
If so this is probably not a bug, maybe an oversight if the developers didn't expect defensive tech to come out of it. I wouldn't mind if it stayed in the game.
 
Also, on Steam there's a sale of the older games in the series, so you can play +R a bit in training and use it to pretend you're an OG, just like me! 🙂

Even got a rank up in ranked!

Play Strive, it's a good game.

So I’m labbing like real shit (this game is changing me) and May has so many GOOD meaty buttons. It’s ridiculous 

So that’s why she can air dash so much…. 😩

""Light"" weight, by the way.
 
One of her asscheeks in this game is bigger than Potemkin's head. Don't even get me started on the whole package.

Yeah Millia stole em’ and ate em all, that’s where 👀
 
 
 

I think I know where all those hamburgers went....
 
 

I tried the first Injustice yesterday (it's free on Xbox) and good lord, that game is an eyesore. The colour palette is 50 shades of grey and brown, the animations are as you'd expect from Netherrealm, character designs look like bootleg versions of the Snyderverse stuff, the faces are horrific (Raven looks like Jackie Earle Haley) and to be honest I don't even think it plays particularly well with the super low walkspeeds and the half-screen dashes.  Hard to believe this was such a big deal when it came out. I know a lot of games from that generation aged rather poorly but compare this to MvC3 and it's night and day.
 
I liked looking at Wonder Woman's butt but that's about the only positive thing I could take from it.

Top player coming through.
 
 

I weathered many Rams and flowchart Millias for this bag. 😩
 
 

 
 
 
We stay gatekeeping celestial now ✊🏾

Finally got the chance to play today for a decent amount of time and pretty sure the ky I ran it back with a couple times was using this move alot , wish I knew that earlier. 
And fuck his stupid flip kick too. 
 
 
I'm only on the 7th floor so I'm getting away with alot of unsafe gimmicky bullshit.  But hammerfall RC potbuster comebacks are godlike lol.
 

Like Taokaka and Vega had a baby and raised it on Naruto. 

Guys I can't help myself.....🤣
