Reiterating that parry is retarded

#122

So this i understand. You are talking the second question I asked you.

You want to set up the booby traps ahead of time and try to lure the Predator into them. Correct? Or am I still missing something?

Lol “Obvious” right its not because they thought it was a cool idea noooooooo its souly becaues they thought Melee is too hard on poor helpless Fireteam and they need a no thank you button to win the game what a fuckin joke im done here XD

this is even debaiting anymore this is you white knighting for a crunch weapon.

im so done with this

Because it is. Its there to balance out preds from just meleeing the team with no way to stop them. A way to make the pred pick and choose his fights, instead of just hopping in the group and swinging wildly with the spear because no one can stop him.

Meanwhile, your traps idea removes 95% of the predator’s advantages, and instead of a quick stun you might be able to hop away from, you just die.

Sammy is also in favor of giving better drops that i also disagree with. You said you had zero legendaries. I had 10 before my first knife legend 1 m ago. Now I get two legends in 1 week… stop complaining

The leaf and branch is also a balancing mechanic. Give the predator a little room to avoid the high dps of the FT, but also forcing him to move, because if he keeps coming to the same branch, he won’t have the protection from before.

And parrying still takes skill to use endlessly, instead of getting a lucky parry in. Because I can easily turn this against you. Without the parry, the Poor helpless predator now has a button they can keep pressing to win. And that takes zero skill compared to the current parry system.

Here is my thought process on why parry works as it does.

It is to prevent the Predator from just walking up and meleeing the FT down.

But then why does it stun and damage the Predator but hardly effect the FT?

Because if it didn’t, if would not be a deterrent to the Predator. They could just keep poking until FT missed a parry or they ran out of stamina.

I understand why many people think parry is janky and makes no realistic sense in the game setting. It is not there to make sense, it is there for gameplay and for balance.

How about we give the FT riot shields and they whip those out and throw their body weight into the Predator with them instead? Would that be more aesthetically appropriate?

He checked out. Using buzz words like white knighting when that’s not even relevant lol. Idk why the dude is so stubborn.

Did avp2010 allow marines to block wristblades with their arms because of weebs too?

It’s virtue signalling, Lol.

It would seem to me that he may have some difficulty in hearing other folks out.

And just FYI parrying in video games is considered a technical skill it’s not spamming, it’s precise timing.

If anybody in here is a fighting game fan here is a video of Street Fighter in EVO (a fighting game tournament for prize money) of Daigo “parrying” all of Chun Li’s kicks from her special with only a spec of life left:

It’s only a little over a minute.

Fair,
But this game in its current state is a far cry away from being tournament/esport material.
