Haha, nah, I probably should have been further back. I generally try and stick to the middle of a side when balancing, to avoid getting bumped off the end, but I kept sliding back down to the middle while I was complaining.

well yeah I got that much

what I'm saying is that for how much he insisted it was everyone else's fault, he also did the bare minmum personally because he didn't want to risk too much

like obviously the people on the front end were worse but still

That's how you play. You're just likely to fall off or not make it in time if you go too far back.

The issue isn't that he did the bare minimum

It's that nobody else was willing to even do the bare minimum.

I think it's perfectly fair for the guy willing to do the bare minimum that is optimal to criticize those that refuse to also do the bare minimum at all. He shouldn't have to be the guy that sacrifices for everybody else in order to be able to criticize them. If enough people actually did what he did, they all would've made it.

All see saw layouts are awful. See saw is a terrible game because unless you get perfect starting placement you 100% have to rely on other players not fucking you over.

you still have them

they also changed the leveling system so you get a LOT more just from leveling up, especially at higher levels

They wanted to preserve the value of crowns (and by extension, crown-currency costumes) as being something you only get for actually winning - to make getting them feel more like a real reward.

They compromised a bit on this though by adding more crowns to the level up rewards.

I played for about an hour and a half today and got 2 wins. I think I averaged a win every 30 minutes during season 1 so a win every 45 minutes seems about right now that people have gotten better at the game.

Dude this is my exact thought process every time I play this game and I literally was on my to post pretty much the same sentiment. This is a game you can't take seriously as there's way too much luck and randomness involved. It's just lost the comic appeal quite a bit for me now that I've played a bunch.

If you go into Fall Guys wanting a game to just kinda dominate and routinely win at, you're

A. Not playing it right
B. Gonna have a bad time

It's a game to just have fun with and enjoy the absurdity of. If you win, great. If not, oh well. Focusing on "optimal" strats and getting upset over it just isn't worth it because it's not that kind of game at all.

Well, here's some more wholesome Fall Guys content. For anybody that didn't catch it, this team got to the finals by beating the two time champion GrandPooBear's team, and then had to go perfect on the final round to have a chance. Their first duo won the crown, and then on the second duo the other team tried to grief them on Wall Guys and ended up getting themselves eliminated instead, so then they got the second crown and ended up winning by one point. And they're just like, the nicest people, so it felt so good to see.

Like I'd be less annoyed if it felt like the physics were applied equally. But there's moments like when me and five other guys jump off the end of Fruit Chute and I'm the only one that ragdolls and fails to qualify.

The other thing to remember is what you think you're seeing from other players isn't necessarily what's actually happening to them due to latency. You might see a player stumbling on your screen because they got hit by a ball but still seeming to go full speed, because on their side the ball actually missed them. Likewise, you might see somebody just abruptly stop when it looks like they haven't been touched.

It's not about "Screw Rock Over." Its about consistency. If six people jump together and there's physics that knock people over, then it should be more than one person falling over. I shouldn't be back flipping off a jump when there's no one near me either yet it happens all the time.

Yeah, initially I had the same problem in Fruit Chute. Like SEP says, wait just a second. Everyone else will jump off and literally 3/4s of them will bump into each other and ragdoll. Jump and then dive towards one of the edges and you'll be fine and wind up ahead of most of the crowd.

I went from finishing Fruit Chute like 50% of the time to the point that I can't remember the last time I failed it. You won't ragdoll if you don't bump into someone and dive. It's good advice.

I mean the game definitely has issues (terrible grab mechanic, latency issues can be so bad that you'll grab the crown at the end of fall mountain first and still wind up losing, etc), but what you're describing in Fruit Chute can easily be avoided, i swear!

Then they shouldn't have a goddamn currency that depends on wins.

Yeah I like playing the game and don't want to take it too seriously because it's so random

BUT then I end up just seeing people dominating this game in ways that are completely beyond me, having 100+ crowns, winning almost every game buying every crossover skin, and suddenly the game stops feeling like random, stupid fun and more like just another game I can't seem to get good enough at

I really wish just sometimes the crossover skins didn't cost 10 wins. Like you wanna have special rewards for people who are good, sure, but don't have that be literally every single special limited time skin

Yes there's randomness in most competitive games so minimizing your chance to be affected by that randomness is part of the skill you need to acquire.

If you want to win then you're doing yourself a disservice by not learning the best strategies. If you're not making it to the finals in 90% of games then you need to stop and think about which levels eliminate you the most. If it's team games then that's a shrug but if it's something like Fruit Chute then there are things you could do to improve.

I mean if you just want to play and hope you win then feel free but complaining afterward is a little silly. Just because it's a colorful game with a lot of randomness doesn't mean you're more entitled to wins compared to anything else. Yes it's frustrating that you need to win to get the cool skins but plenty of people are winning consistently.
