@TheJurassicMan@WoodenPlank I can give you a summary if you want.
So when Sephiroth came to Smash he started playing pranks on everyone since he couldn’t kill them. These usually centered around tormenting Cloud. 1/?
@husband_furina@AshenXenos@ShitpostRock Well, technically, both reading are correct. Both the Sepratists and the Republic saw themselves as the good guys during the Clone Wars, but they were being played by the real villain that controlled both sides from the shadows.
@NotKubilan@jgibsz @marieannfred1 @OWAnonymous_ Yes. The only times I ever consider going after a Widow while playing as DVa is if she was already in a bad position that I could boost to without abandoning my team mid-fight.
@jgibsz @marieannfred1 @OWAnonymous_ Winston and DVa can't afford to dive a Widow anymore, Echo and Phara can get picked off, Reaper and Junk are too loud, Ashe can get counter sniped, and you can just forget trying it with any kind of support.
@tristinflore@_SpyDtroid_ I should elaborate. I did use reflect at first, but when I started using the standard block instead, I was able to react to his attack chains much more easily. I fought Roxas as an equal, and it was one of the most satisfying bosses I ever fought.
@SecondChanceTwt@tristinflore@_SpyDtroid_ I tried using reflect my first few attempts with Data-Roxas, and I got my ass handed to me every time. Then I started using normal blocks, and I found myself able to react to his attacks better. I fought him on his level, and it was the most satisfying boss I ever fought.
@pxnk_stxr@DouglasRMcGuire@_SpyDtroid_ I mean, I can understand why. Reflect KHII turned a lot of bosses into absolute jokes, even on critical.
Besides, they made normal blocking more useful thanks to having multiple counter options.
@tristinflore@_SpyDtroid_ That doesn't always work. Every time I fought him and used reflect, he would immediately punish me, and I would die in seconds.
@_SpyDtroid_ I remember fighting Roxas on Critical Mode years back. He was tough but very fair. He demanded that I learn his attack patterns and always punished me if I tried to cheese him with spells like reflect.
Normal block was my go-to method for that fight.
@SmoughTown So I feel that if Radahn was an ally of theirs up until that point, then it ran counter to how they were characterized leading up to the BoA in the base game.
@SmoughTown At the end of the battle, Melania was desperate enough to break the golden needle and unleash the Scarlet Rot on top of Radahn. Even though killing him was part of the plan, I feel like she would never have resorted to that if they were on the same side.
