why does a game that requires frame-perfect inputs and also has a buffer system also want you to mash every button on your controller to not get fucked on grabs? amount of times I've misinput out of grab is so frustrating, it's an exhausting thing to do, and yes i just lost to a fucking donkey kong cheesing cargo

  • Not to mention every time i mash out, i accidently input up-b or something and get hit again.

    LITERALLY nfjwpenesgia I hate it

    love having this happen to me with buries every fucking goddamn stupid ass time 👍

    Try mashing X you lose your extra jump but it generally screws you less than an accidental up-b 

    Good idea, thanks.

    Or do a circle mash with your control stick, it gets you a lot of inputs really fast but doesn’t obliterate your hands or equipment quite the same way.

    You should probably be mashing just by spinning your stick anyway. If you really really want to use buttons as well you can set your dpad to shield.

  • I agree with the mashing part. I don't want to break my controller because of how clumsily I am with it so I just accept it a high percents.

    There's other games like undernight in birth and blazblue that make it so that you can grab escape 7 frames into the grab by pressing grab + you will get a small buff and if the enemy is attacking a grabs you, you have 14 frames to escape. I would much more prefer that mechanic instead

  • Fuck!

    no way she's going on her evil arc

    HEEL TURN

    DARK MIRROR ARC

    MOVE OVER, CENA

    really couldn't have said it better myself

  • Because mashing with c-stick circles is strictly better.

  • I wish Smash had the grab mechanics of RoA2 man, fuck mashing

  • I've pretty much given up on masking unless it's Donkey Kong or something. The difference just feels nonexistent anyways

    lol no difference? maybe at 150% higher but the difference is absolutely noticeable before then

  • I think it is a quite engaging mechanic though. It is like you are struggling to get out of a hold in real life, kinda.

  • Agreed sometimes I don't mash at all the reward is not worth the damage to my controller, I ordered a like 20 pack and 2 days in a row those stupid rubber caps came off the joystick.

    The 2nd one went back on the first one ripped which is my usal experience. I tried hotglue which if you can manage to get it just right use of the controller will heat up the glue again.

    The gamecube controller discord recommended that water proof seal thing in a can, didn't work too well either.
