The GranGlue Fighter Lounge: Corona Virus bodied Shadaloo Free AF

Dante just popped back up in the story so I’m thinking I’ll get to play him soon. He’s the character I was most looking forward to playing, what’s wrong with his playstyle?

I just don’t really like it. It’s convoluted. The whole style thing is a nice way to implement all of his moves, but there comes a point where it just feels like it’s too much bullshit.

I like more straight-forward characters, that’s all.

That’s pretty cool. Although a lot of the charm of Megaman Legends was that it was a 3D megaman.

I’d play that though.

Friend has me playing Power Rangers game. Busted ass game but pretty fun.

Gears tactics has me completely enthralled right now. Really enjoying it.

Next up is trials of mana

People don’t seem very interested in them though :frowning: I might do a couple more then thats it. People vote with their clicks in the end. I like the idea of the series though and I hope it picks up. But if not I can’t justify the effort I put into em versus the reward when I can slap any random DBFZ video together for 1/10th the effort for more returns.

YT revenue has hit the shit since corona crap and I am making 1/4th as much as usual right now, so gotta go with what works.

Didn’t mean to make this all pouty and crap, happy you enjoy the vid anyways.

I’ve been grinding out Slay the Spire again lately. I have A20 Heart kills with the 3 original classes, now I just need to get one with Watcher too and I can put this piece of shit game down.

I’m playing like a complete moron most of the time though, I don’t feel like I understand Watcher that well even though she’s the strongest and easiest class on paper. Ah well. A20 is pretty hard regardless.

Will watch, but you probably just have to have the right one pop at the right time. Also I would have thought things would have been better for YT creators since everyone is at home pretty much scrounging for content to keep entertained.

I’m definitely going to play SFV a bit more regularly. I think a decent blend of 3S and SFV will be good for my growth.

One of the reasons I’ve ran away from V was because I’m absolutely terrible at it. I don’t think I’ve ever played a FG as much as this and still completely sucked at it. Don’t get me wrong, I suck at most FGs, but I definitely struggle more in V.

I’m going to main Kage because I prefer to main shotos, and he has to play up close which is where most of my issues in any FG lie… It’s just a lot more mandatory in V (in my experience anyway) so that’s why I think I really struggle with it. Hopefully I can finally learn and work on the right shit to improve, and really put the work in. Sticking with a main will help, which I haven’t really done. Kage will be hard because I’m basically choosing a character that exposes my weaknesses, but I need to remember why I’m playing him and hopefully that will stick.

I’ll definitely keep playing 3S though because I love it, and will help me develop my game as well (particularly in the areas of reads, being unpredictable, and execution).

Edit to add: I can definitely work on a lot of these things in 3S only, but I really like V’s training mode and I think it’ll help me lab and apply things a bit better. Also, with as many games I have played in V, it’s annoying how bad I still am in it, and I think my overall lack of confidence from game to game stems from that. I do realize how important confidence is in an FG, and right now, I have very little.

Playing SFV will be a mistake.
Mark my Words.

You should play a real FG, like Overwatch.

More people are home and watching for sure, but ad rates are completely in the toilet right now. Ads served is what pays me not clicks. And ad payouts are a fraction of what they were pre corona-chan

I’m not too keen on SFV right now but if you ever need someone to play with HMU. It’s one of the few games we can play together rn.

In other news Civ 5 has consumed my life in the last couple days.

I’ve been running 2 sessions a week of this game with friends lately, so it hasn’t really “consumed” anything but it’s still a great time-waster.

Yeah I made a mistake reinstalling this game. Stayed up till 3am last night playing it when I meant to go to bed at 12:30

Oh and for the Riot legends of runeterra invitational thing it looks like theres a chance ill finish inside the top 10, if so that’s both cool and lol cause im the only non CCG guy that was invited to the event.

Also now that I got a tiny peek inside the riot ecosystem, the term “casting” and “shoutcasting” is used way too much and I had to hold my tongue a lot and not say its commentary not casting, they ain’t fuckin wizards.

So watch out for that when the league fighter hits I guess.

Too state though the actual event was very fun, loved a lot of the off the wall challenges I had to do creating really wacky ass decks. Happy I got to do it.

Sounds good. Will do, but I’ll need a few days to get re-acquainted with Kage and V. I was struggling to stay in Silver before, so I’m probably Super Bronze level now, lol… god I’m so ass at this game.

Yeeeeeah I’ve been there. It happens. Game’s good.

Multiplayer’s a bit different, since we generally just play for 4-5 hours until someone needs to go to bed. It’s still good fun. If you have a few friends that are keen, try setting up a session if you just want something to play while having a few drinks and talking shit.
You can be petty AF in that game too. I kept renaming my cities to “get rekt (insert player name here)” yesterday so three players decided to go to war with me for those. :>
