I mean listen overall I still like the game or else I wouldn't play 300+ hours or whatever I have. It could just be so much better than what it is. Smash bros with Batman should not have failed as hard as it did and there's nobody else to blame but the devs.

So I'm mostly just upset at the wasted potential and how much they seem to fumble every update since the beta.

And you and I basically playing different games with our skill gaps. I'm sure it's fun to log in and play other master players but for me I either dominate people 3-0 or get stomped by Masters 0-3. There's basically never a middle ground where I get to play the game. So yes, it's a little frustrating sometimes to actually try playing this game too.

But ultimately that's also caused by a lack of playerbase because PFG fumbled the game so hard.

I was positive for a while and then they stopped giving me reasons to be positive.

Well there was the 2022 fix where they went from static squares to 3d hurtboxes/hitboxes and that didn't help at all.

And I seem to remember one other time right around the relaunch too they mentioned everything had been redone.

I've been playing casually which is going better but this is literally the 4th or 5th time they have completely overhauled the hitboxes since I've been playing in the beta so I'm not optimistic it's going to help much.

I don't quite know how fighter xp is supposed to be any less grindy than trying to earn currency. Even then I just quickly lost the desire to try and "earn" the right to play a fighter I might even like playing because the physics and controls in this feel so bad.

If S4 is supposed to shake thinks up I might give it another go, but the enthusiasm is long gone.

I have wondered if anyone here was playing MultiVersus

I was going to check it out if I get a PS5 soon. I didnt realize some fighters have been locked behind paying all this time, yikes.

edit: to be clear I wouldve checked it out regardless but this new feature sounds good.

I still havent tried this game since getting new characters/stuff sounded like such a slog if I recall. Also wondering what kind of life the game is gonna have since the other day I just saw WB claim the game is another massive money failure like Suicide Squad was which cant be good news

Wait, what happens to any unspent currency?

I realized that I don't care about any characters they add when I can't play them

Next game 3-0 a Silver 4. Then get stomped by a Master 2 player after that.

Why even have ranks in this clown game? I can't even play unranked because I just completely wreck everyone 3-0.

Not enough players to have actual competitive matches I guess.

I got a match on the new Gremlins stage the other day. When was that added?

Maybe his hair would have a question mark cowlick that could straighten into an exclamation point when he's surprised

Briefly tried Powerpuff Girls, and their jab combo doesn't work if you use Smash-style controls. You literally get only the first jab to come out.

And unsurprisingly, they still haven't fixed (and probably won't ever) grounded side attacks (guess they're technically called neutral, but they're side-input attacks with the flipped controls) attacking whichever way your character is facing instead of whichever direction you're pressing on the right stick.

For anyone unaware, if you're in the air, your character will attack whichever way you press on the right stick just like in Smash Bros., but on the ground for no apparent reason, they've made it so whether you press left or right on the right stick is irrelevant. You'll only ever attack the direction your character is already facing.

tr;dr: These devs are hopeless.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that weeklies are busted for a lot of people, so no weekly XP missions this week.

did Beetlejuice come out?

due to circumstances I was unable to play this game all month but...I also didn't really care too either LOL

I am thinking about getting back up on the saddle

Anyway context.

My dog is getting old(Hes 12, will be 13 in December).

On Thursday he suddenly lost the ability to sleep or relax. He was awake for over 24 hours. When he'd try to lay down within a minute or two of putting his head down he'd pop up and try to find a new resting spot.

I dont know that I got any sleep either. When I sleep my brain is trained for the sound of his collar. At his age he usually needed to go out once in the middle of the night, so it kind of is an alarm to my brain to wake up.

So vet visit.

They think he may have dementia or some sort of cognitive thing going on. There isn't anything physically wrong with him(hopefully). His heart and lungs sound good, all his bloodwork was normal.

But whatever is going on with his brain causes a feeling of discomfort that comes on suddenly when he tries to rest. There is a small sedative that helps but finding balance is tough. My dog still likes to be active, he takes long walks and loves doing things.

So finding a balance of how often he needs it is tough. When the discomfort sets in its obvious but the pill takes well over an hour to really set in.

But its hard. There isn't really a way to know the exact cause. It isn't something that is ever going to get better. The hope is it isn't something really horrible like a brain tumor and is just regular cognitive decline(it probably is but there isn't a reasonable way to know for sure). But regardless it can only get worse. It wont ever get better.

Just a week ago my dog was normal and happy and now for the rest of his life hes going to deal with periods of just feeling uncomfortable for no reason.

I am glad I am not suicidal because this shit just sucks sometimes.

You can't jump out of Batman's dive kick anymore so that move is fucking useless now. Batman's mobility feels completely neutered without it.

Hmm actually I guess you still can but you can't do it instantly. There's a big delay when you can jump or dodge cancel out of it now.

So is he just gonna be in the shop for 6k?

Sir Chris

I die two times from lag stocks in a set and the other guy still teabags and salt emotes when he wins.

What is wrong with some people.

I have no faith in devs say and especially what Nakat says at this point honestly.

Yeah I had a match against a Master Arya yesterday and at one point they just started standing still in the middle of the stage. No matter what approach I took they would either just up tilt and knock me back or walk slightly to the left and punish. It was pretty embarrassing.

So if I tried to bait a dodge to punish they would just hit me and if I tried to attack they would just walk away. It was like they know when I was going to actually commit to an attack or not.

And don't even get me started when I go up against people who play are masters with characters nobody plays like Reindog or Steven. Those games I just get completely clowned.

I sometimes do an instant dash attack without moving almost any distance but it's always on accident so idk how it works exactly.

I like playing Finn. He's one of the only characters that feels like he has a decent dash attack, since you can just use the side special instead of that ridiculous "do a dash after spending enough time moving" input.

For reference on Finn:

There were 3 matches I beat him 2-1 actually. He was losing his mind during the last match.
