I laughed from a good and healthy place. 😂😂😂

One time, a white woman told me, with no context, as if it were a red badge of courage :

“I took a pic with Jesse Jackson.”

Then she showed it to me on her phone.

But the pic was with Ludacris.

When I scrolled back, and I saw pic was in a folder named “Me w/black people”

@WordsOnGhost If he doesn't have a flight mode imma so mad

@supa_frosty @Sometimes_Fendo Bro there are like 5 instances of him using 2C as an antiair

[DivineCorruptor @GuardianM100]

@LordKnightBB No, they're always hard, i should get to auto block all mixups and do a flashy 60% combo with just one button

[DivineCorruptor @GuardianM100]

@1Ethanl1 Flow
I default to calling special buttons like flow D because reasons

[DivineCorruptor @GuardianM100]

There are anti-airs in Avatar Legends. Korra has 2C/DP, Aang has 2D~C/2C, Azula has 5C, Toph has 5C, etc. These AAs are not bad; they can stop aerial approaches when timed properly. However, they force you to commit and make hard reads, which is difficult in a fast paced game 1/

@alejadrorr0123 Maybe i just had bad spacing, but this and her charged overhead AAed me quite a few times 🤷🏾‍♂️

[DivineCorruptor @GuardianM100]

@knifewoman6 This has not been my experience fighting the aforementioned characters. Korra's 2C/Toph 5C are very consistent. Korra's DP beats everything

[DivineCorruptor @GuardianM100]

@alejadrorr0123 @Ceeington The number of times I got AAed by this in the alpha 😤

That's why "no good AA" convos are wild to see because this is one of the best AAs I've seen in a fighting game

[DivineCorruptor @GuardianM100]

@FloodedFirePark Exactly. They were forced to think. IAD j.C carried them so much, their brain broke when they couldn't use it anymore. I had that happen with some Azulas as well. J.C kept getting stuffed so they immediately started turtling. 😅

[DivineCorruptor @GuardianM100]

Vs flowcharing too much. It makes all of us better players in the end. End/

[DivineCorruptor @GuardianM100]

I also think there's a case for player expression here. It becomes a question how will YOU deal with your opponent's aerial options vs defaulting to a good button your character has. I'm not trying to glaze the game too much, but it's mechanics require adaptation 4/

[DivineCorruptor @GuardianM100]

@GambitoAlter I like it. It forces you to commit to your aerial options and watch your approach. It also forces you to think about the game's varied defensive options rather than just chicken guarding 24/7 when you're on defense

[DivineCorruptor @GuardianM100]

The discourse around avatar legends shows how much fighting games have changed over the years. Most 2D fighters are very flowcharts:
Neutral>get hit into KD>run unescapable oki>confirm again>kill.

Everyone hates being on the receiving end of this. 1/

[DivineCorruptor @GuardianM100]

@KateMetalBard @OomfOfAnOomf Yes I do, chocolate chip please 😊

[DivineCorruptor @GuardianM100]

@KateMetalBard @OomfOfAnOomf Turbo unemployed?
Ma'am, i work over 50 hours/week and discovered 50% combos and oki traps by day two.

[DivineCorruptor @GuardianM100]

So next time you criticize avatar legends, ask yourself are you just trying to avoid the work in this game? Is your criticism keeping EVERYONE from enjoying the game, or just you? Why aren't you willing to put in the effort it takes in order to be good at the game? End/

[DivineCorruptor @GuardianM100]

Each complaint listed above is due to most people not wanting to confront the mental stack required to play this game. If you want something easier, there are many FGs to fit that. However, you will never escape the inevitability of having to use your head in order to win. 4/
