* hears Grandma bellering calling *

* grandkids need attention *

Gotta go.

[reyler]

... you were here?

 

And that's what dodging is for, badcube.

[Naked~Frog]

Gramps pretending his grandkids needed attention so he dodge and still retain his dignity.

[reyler]

PAY MORE ATTENTIONS *smacks you in the face with an oar*

[bad company]

Costly punch makes it difficult to get it of before having to dodge, what I need is the soul of Henke so that I can use the item that allows endure to last forever. Alas I have yet to finish all the side missions yet.

[reyler]

Oh I'm not anywhere near that far in yet. I'm only up to Modeoheim.

 

I didn't think I would enjoy playing as Cloud of Darkness as much as I do.

[bad company]

She is good if you are good at tricks and traps. She is not an out and out fighter. Long range beam works well with the homing and trapping them in a corner and hitting with O-beam

[reyler]

Granted it's mostly Gabranth I've been playing her against; Gabranth is my favorite punching bag for levelling.

[bad company]

For me Exdeath. Slow and generally sucsk at countering as the computer

[GrandpaG]

I get to play Saturday night...rest of the week is too busy...I'm not...uuhhhmmm...wealthy enough...to play much...idle time costs money...unless you're single...then you have more idle time than busy time...like I would know...I haven't been single for a VERY long time...but I remember the boredom while I was in the Navy...spent LOTS of money trying not to be bored...back then it was pinball machines...didn't have any computer games...even Atari hadn't been invented yet...yes, I know...hard to believe...but true.

 

Long string of beautiful weather here in the mitten...sunny and 70's...more than three days in a row...yes, I know...hard to believe...but true.

[reyler]

I prefer Gabranth because he doesn't have any HP attacks outside EX mode. Exdeath's aren't exactly hard to avoid, but a guy like Gabranth who can only try and swat you with ineffective brave attacks suit my block-counter style better.

[bad company]

That is true but apart from Amalgest Exdeath has easy to avoid HP attacks and then you just use the magic pot trick to get easy victory.

Gabranth works in that case unless he gets to Ex mode and becomes a beast.

[reyler]

That's why you stay on him and don't let him get into EX mode!

 

Anyway, I know about the Magic Pot trick, but for some reason I just don't like using summons. Like, for anything.

[bad company]

I like having the summon there if I need it. Also wouldn't your block counter style not work against chaos as most of his attacks hit multiple times and stagger?

[reyler]

That just means that's my preferred method of attack. I know when to dodge, and when to go on an all-out offensive. I do find it interesting that people recommend playing characters like Cloud of Darkness as HP-spammers. The only time I ever do that is if I have brave-to-HP attacks that will get the opponent out of range, otherwise you're risking a bad break.

[bad company]

You never HP spam ever, opens yourself to counter attacks. Even quick characters create openings on themselves.

 

Zidane is fun to put down a tidal flame and then try to trap them with an quick energy attack from the dodge but never really works unless they are stupid.

Only one I can think of that can do some HP spam with relative saftey is Bartz in Ex mode using goblin fist since it's the quickest in the game and has rediculous range.

[reyler]

I think the mindset behind that is that it's for characters who don't really do much bravery damage against an equal opponent, like CoD, Zidane, Ultimecia, or Onion Knight.

[bad company]

CoD has a predictable but strong bravery attack, zidane and onion knight can mess you up badly if you make a mistake however Ultimecia is hard to use for bravery and HP attacks, like trying to hit someone with a charged great attractor.

 

For me it's the slower characters that are harder for me to control properly, you have ot be more precise with timing

[reyler]

And thus why I like to block-counter; it relies less on your character's own speed and more on reacting to what your opponent does and staggering them to leave them wide open.

[bad company]

I prefer attacking and keeping them on their toes blocking when I need to, reflected in the fact that most of my active characters have their nature on my friendcard as vicious or tactician. Love using the emperor and creating a stationary flare followed by a tracking flare to make it difficult for them to move allowing for some room for starfall.

[reyler]

Ugh I hate playing as the Emperor. Maybe when I've leveled him up a bit more and acquired a few more abilities I'll hate him less; right now he's still at level two. I hate him because his play style, like Exdeath, largely depends on staying put and getting the opponent to come to you. Meanwhile my preferred play style usually starts off a fight by dashing straight forward and attacking.

[bad company]

you can play aggressive to a degree with the emperor, just strategically aggressive. Trust me you can mess people up badly and have won matches by my tracking flare hitting the opponent while they are in a combo/HP attack against me.

[GrandpaG]

* just saying "HI" *

 

HI

[reyler]

Hawaii? Hm, now that the weather's starting to turn cold, that might not be such a bad idea.

[bad company]

Or Australia, it's starting to get warm for summer
