yeah some days just arent your days. and playing ranked doesnt help since those points despite meaning nothing mean everything :/

taking a break is good. you could also try hub matches. nothing on the line and if you go up against a character you struggle against its good practice

the roster has (mostly) been leaked so heads up if you want to avoid or see it

and im not really digging this so far unfortunately. i didnt care much for 11 so maybe the bad taste iss till there

man 2017 feels so far away now. i think my sense of time has been permanently fucked :/

i prefer infinite but the uh issues have probably completely killed it

There was also a game blatantly inspired by CD-i Zelda, including getting Link and Zelda VA from those games

that is a lot of people

yeah no real reason to not have rashid at evo. no one knowing how to fight him is countered by people not knowing how to play him. unless theres something functionally broken about him like ex moves not costing meter or something

so the game came out a month or so ago and i havent seen much talk on it despite it being fucking incredible so i assume people havent heard of it so im making a topic. in short its a pokemon like monster catcher but it has some many neat improvements and features. and keep in mind this game is 20$ and is currently on sale for 16. and was made by like 4 people. im gonna just kinda ramble about everything that comes to mind so thisll be a bit long

right off the bat theres character customizing. nothing major but considering its a sprite game its more than youd think. you can also change everything (including name) whenever at your house. theres also difficulty sliders for those who like to complain about pokemon being hard. theres AI Intelligence and Level Scaling. the default is 'wild monsters use moves randomly, humans and bosses somewhat intelligently. lower levelled enemies scale up a little, higher leveled dont scale' and it goes harder/easier from there

storywise youre regular person whom gets sucked into some weird vortex and end up on an island with a buncha monsters on it. people have been washing up on it for like 100 years and no ones been able to get off. also everyone is from a different timeline or dimension or something??? anyway for reasons people are able to record monsters onto cassettes and transform into them. then you set off to find a way off the island because video game story. also theres some kinda eldritch stuff going on. youve got your gym leader equivalents, evil team equivalent, and assorted side quests and the like

battles use an AP system. you get 2 ap per turn and moves cost some ap. theyre usually 2v2 but can be 2v1 or 2v3. instead of physical/special theres melee/ranged buts basically teh same idea i think. theres type advantages of course but they work completely differently from pokemon. instead of a flat damage increase/decrease they apply buffs/debuffs based on the reason why its effective or not. so like Air is effective against Plant because air uproots it from its source of nutriets the ground. this decreases the plant types ap gain per turn to 1. Metal is effective against Earth because it penetrates its defense, like a shovel which lowers both its defense stats. Earth is effective against Plastic because its plastics ultimate fate to be buried in a landfill and i think this lowers its speed. theres also a Glitter type which i havent encountered any of yet but nothing is effective against it

you switch to your human form in battle if a mon faints until you can switch out. if you run out of human hp that character faints and you cant use your second mon. you can also beat enemies trainers like that without them using their other mons.

catching mons has you switch to your human form to try to record them. while recording a mon cant escape and it cant be killed. it also tells you the %age chance you have of catching it

also theres a super in the form of Fusion. if youre familiar with that pokemon fusion generator its basically that in game mechanic form. you get all the moves of both mons, both their types, and im not entirely sure on the stats. it also adds vocals to the battle music

every attack move is a sticker that you can freely take off and put on another mon (if they can learn it). so you could level one mon of a type for moves and put them on another to use. theres a few places to buy some but as of where i am theyre kinda expensive. theres also uncommon and rare versions of moves which have modifiers which i assume are random. ive seen splash damage, increased exp, increased crit chance, and the like. and generic moves are typeless and will become whatever type the mon its attached to is

game is...not quite open world but you can kinda do whatever you want in whatever order. there are HM equivalents though. well sorta. recording specific mons will get you an overworld ability which lets you traverse new areas and solve puzzles and stuff. they kinda feel more like metroidvania abilities than HMs imo. you can play local coop and theyre planning on adding online coop but no date set.

music is great. standard battle theme uh slaps? is that what the youth say these days? town music is also really good.

and of course theres the mons themselves. theres 128 total i think and i havent seen all of them but from what i have seen theyre good. opinions will vary obviously but so far theres only like 3 id say are kinda bad. and one of them evolves into something not terrible so hey! well theres also one i cant decide its so stupid its amazing or just fucking stupid. but so far so good and im finding myself excited to see what some of these evos are. the starter i chose went in a completely fucking nonsense direction i wasnt expecting in the least

theres also a clearly inspired by shinies thing called Bootlegs. theyre not quite shinies because they affect gameplay. each bootleg changes the mons type, stats, and moves it learns. each mon has 14 bootlegs, one for each type which is kinda nuts. theres a lot of split evolutions which is handled in a really neat way imo. ill spoiler it just in case whenever something with a split evo evolves, it gives you a question and lets you choose which branch you want. one of the early mons causes trouble at night so when it evolves you get to choose Which path fo the night will you follow? Thief/Vagabond. a snake has Which aspect of the serpent will you embody? Elegance/Ruthlessness. its really cool imo but im sure some people might not care for it. you can also turn off autosave so you can save scum onto what you want.

not sure if thats it but uh its probably enough. if you want to see any of it in action heres some gameplay from a streamer i watch. but yeah anyway game is fucking great go buy it

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1321440/Cassette_Beasts/
https://youtu.be/lFngrWbWUeY?t=1700

base Granblue Vs is like 2$ and i heartell has a not awful single player
not sure how good Dragon Ball Fighterz is but its 9$ for base and 15$ with s1
Soul Calibur 6 has a single player mode that a lot of people who arent me seemed to like
Nitro+ Blasterz has a story mode that i skipped though so cant say how good it is. probably not very if i was guessing
Persona 4 Arena has a story mode. the original was fine but the Ultimax continuation was kinda bad
cant remember if Under Night had a story mode

so i started up cassette beasts and its fucking awesome. everyone should go buy that imo

kudos arent too bad to get. iirc its 30 for every ranked/casual/battle hub match you play. the 10th and 20th of each month is an event in the hub with golden cabinets that give double kudos. theres also the daily/weekly challenges that so far are just play or win matches from a cabinet. that

you also get 5 for offline vs matches meaning you can turbo controller it if need be.

you get some from world tour but i think its like 1 for every npc you fight with a character style. so technically exists but not worth going for. theres also a limited amount from character trials/guides

surprised hes out this month. lookin good but hes not a character for me

next battle pass starring rashid

made it to gold i am moving on up

also theres gonna be a crossover with spy x family yay i suppose

ended up getting Cassette Beasts, DBFZ Fighterz Edition, small indie fite game Combo Babies, dead on arrival fite game Phantom Breaker Omnia, Star Ocean 4 because i wanted a mindless grind fest, 2 more SF4 costume packs, and Dead or Alive 5 dlc character Naotora Li. i also got Kula and Mai for DoA6 in the koei tecmo sale that happened before the summer sale and the sf6 battle pass

JJK arena fighter

joy of joys

yeah its just been naruto to boruto and baten kaitos. they brought out cosplayers and weve got an sao trailer now

soon!

Samurai Shodown may not be discounted enough. I'll always endorse MKXL for $6.

yeah 50% this time not great. i got it for 80% off and it was 90% a few weeks ago for the rollback beta

its time again my dudes

also with the recent delisting of soul calibur 5 i feel like i should mention other fite games which may disappear in case anyone wants to take note

mortal kombat 10 and 11 (and 12). 9s already delisted and these also have guests. 10s kinda old so it could go within the next few years
tekken 7. akuma on the base roster and guests in the dlc
dead or alive 6 has guest characters kula and mai. mai was in 5 and was delisted relatively quick i think
samurai shodown. several guests but its still somewhat new so it may last. its been going on heavy discount though
soul calibur 6. guest in the main roster guests in the dlc
fighting ex layer has terry bogard as dlc but is separate from the base game so its just him
kof all star heroines or whatever has skullomania as a guest in the same way terry is. i think hes included in the deluxe version though
power rangers bftg has ryu and chunli as guests but im not sure if theyre separate or not

and i think thats it

yeah aleks is great
https://twitter.com/DoovadHohdan/status/1668859243632500738

and hey im finally done with world tour only took uh 57:24 :/ . all style ranks maxed, bonds at 100, all sidequests done, and ended up at lvl 92. not point in going for 100. didnt get all the different clothes though. theres at least 2 battle reward ones im missing at least maybe more. might go for them whenever i get the dlc characters and go back in

also maxed out the battle pass. decided to go ahead and buy it since its easy enough to max out and they pay for themselves. hopefully the rewards wont be total shit next time!

watched some of the 3s top 8. 2 hugos and remy were there! all in winners side! of course there was also a justin wong so uh things went as youd expect them to. tried watching def jam but i found the commentators kinda nnoying so i watched a little st instead. teno also had jojo asbr and pokken which i missed most of because i didnt see a schedule for them oh well

dont forget one of the practice settings in training mode is drive impact so thats an easy way to get some practice in.

(also note there is no de ranking before platinum)

day 2 has started

sf6 royal rumble about to start on ceogaming

oh hey arslan ash playing street fighter

first major sf6 tournament aw yeah. sf3 is also there so ill probably watch some of that. will also try to catch some def jam. and hey dnfd is there remember that game???

yeah id like to have the stuff especially the soundtrack but 200$ is uh kind of a lot

will we still be able to find toadstool's ???

https://youtu.be/z_9ZjOUodoo

so good

also hope they make that one permanently missable chest not permanently missable this time

glad theyre not using the second evolution artstyle

today is the sparkling cabinets or whatever for doulbe kudos. will help get that battle pass leveled if you want

rankways im currently in the silver 4/5 range gold is in sight...!

and in world tour ive got 6 styles mastered not a great grind :/

also alternatively get cassette beasts

Great_Paul posted...

Does this game have any dlc characters or good dlc packs worth getting?

theres 1 dlc character from what i see and the rest of the dlc is cosmetic stuff. i havent played it so i cant say how good any of it is.

i think its possible to just buy the character and grab a physical copy of the game for cheap which is probably the best move

price drop finally happened on steam at least

last call

yessssssssss

also oh boy at this hungrybox uh situation

yeah the pacing for the masters isnt great. luke and chun li and then like 3 more then a trickle until like chapter 8 when you get a ton

and it wouldve been better if the mode was designed more around teaching fite games than a dumpy beat em up but hey if nothing else its one of if not the best single player modes in a fighting game. granted thats not a high bar but still

hit credits on world tour. that was certainly an ending it had. good mode but started to feel padded/dragged on near the end. also weird scaling. probably wouldve helped if i had enhanced stuff i guess. gonna be grinding in it for awhile though and probably making some new avatars

i am sure rollback will happen in either a few years when fans mod it in or many years when it be brute forced in

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/1/5/AAedB8AAEjxr.jpg

part 5 is either moody blues if they have an idea for him or oasis w/ green day support. id love clash w/talking heads support but im not counting on it. i guess part 5 polnareff is also a possibility

part 4 has aqua necklace, EWF, highway star, and enigma. superfly could work too but they may not want to disrupt the lore

part 8 will just be fucking joshu wont it

wow what an event great job everyone

so the pass
costs 250 coins which is 5$ or one meal at chipotle if youre on console
takes 14.5k kudos for everything on the premium pass and 9.5k for the free one
no drive tickets at all
there are 250 coins towards the end of the pass so if you buy it you can get enough for the next one
there are hub events for double kudos. on the 10th and 20th of each month and theres something going on now. plus the assorted challenges
