Close a combo with him and you'll get it. Flash Kick just bodies folks.

Eh, you just need 4 characters ranked for Limit Break for each. If you have them A+ they should be able to make it through each of them, especially if someone can carry for each one, and then quick slot whatever items you can on them. They start out super easy. I'm still at the point at like 50 or so where I can still auto them with plenty of A+.

Also important advice: if you're having trouble on a hard fight, just walk away for a while. Sometimes I'll try like 20 times in a row and then not try it again until 6 hours later and I'll get it in one go. It really helps to be able to step away and focus on other stuff for a while.

Yeah, I periodically upgrade my guys' items when I get a new one. Buying stuff from the Guild Shop helps with getting good gear too. There's no reason to sit on what you have because normally the next upgrade level will have better stats entirely, or at least will be even after leveling it up once.

Concerning Maga Ken, he'll be around. I believe you can get him through Divination still, and this event will pop up again at some point. But yeah, he's useless for you now. I only have him at A+.

You might want to save your diamonds for Divination which I believe unlocks at 15-40. I'm starting to lean towards doing more Divination than pulls with my diamonds because I can't ever seem to pull what I need.

15-40 is the one with Cody, right? The key to that one is to tank the combo where he pulls someone without full meter (his passive) since that combo has a big damage reduction to it. Then you stun the next one at the start.

I just beat 20-40 which was annoying. That one has Juri and I found out that her first combo is a buff that can't be broken, so I had to stun the second portion of the combo. But after Juri gets the buff, she opens with an AOE combo at the start, so I had to remember to stun her at the open of the combo. Eventually I got it.

Not much has changed on my end in terms of my team though. I'm not getting dupes of my core squad so I'm stuck not being able to upgrade anyone but Beast Gief right now.

Really hope this is true.

Uh, it's not looking good now.

Majors has been formally charged by the District Attorney which is not promising.

Finally got enough Break Stones to upgrade Beast Gief to level 200 and was able to knock out 19-40 finally. Also got Chun-Li to SS+ now. Getting bad luck drawing any of my squad to get them to SSS now though.

God those Break Stones just halt everything though. I'm loaded up on experience and money and I'm only held back by the Break Stones, and they're difficult to come by.

Edit: Beast Gief's upgrade at 181 changes the game though. A lot faster normal attacks. He keeps hitting stuns on folks mid-combo and just stuffing them entirely. It rules and clutches out a lot.

I was using "allegedly" in the most "innocent until proven guilty" sense. The reports and evidence are pretty damning.

Actually, from what Majors' lawyer says, they have overwhelming evidence debunking these claims, including video and interviews with people close to the situation, and they expect the charges to be dropped quickly. The fact they acted so swiftly is kind of telling of that.

I would withhold judgment right now until we hear more.

He supplements combos with further attacks.

I recommend him for going through Guild Operations and Shadaloo City. Just open up combos with him and then he'll attack with everyone else. His additional attacks get ridiculous with the beefy buffs you accumulate.

I didn't find him useful for progressing in the Supreme Fist and Challenge missions though.

Depends on what the rest of your team make up is. I think they're about equal quality. Chun-Li is better if you need a safe long-range fighter still that can just shoot fireballs the whole time. Cammy is good for an assist position and to rack on more damage. She's a bit of a glass cannon though, so if you have another one (like Mad Ryu, for instance), you're probably better off going with Chun-Li.

Wait, there's a finished TT remake? I know there have been attempts at 16-bit style remakes of the 8-bit games, but I've never heard of one releasing.

Yes! It's actually extremely fun and well done! High marks from all Sonic fans who played it. I recommend it!

https://youtu.be/D6U6Qp3jRHg

You're adding Mean Bean Machine for Game Gear but not on Genesis? Lol

Come on now.

Also they should pay the folks for the Triple Trouble remake and just add that instead.

Been a while since I posted an update.

Currently on 19-20, Floor 217, and I can't beat the boss for Blazing Trial, got close to the end of Abandoned Wastelands, and I got 16 points on the Inverse World's Master Trial.

I'm still going at a pretty good pace. I don't stall too hard anywhere. Currently sitting on my standard squad.

Beast Gief SSS+1
Mad Ryu SS+
Abel SS+
Chun-Li SS

Everyone is 180 except for Mad Ryu, who I got to 195. The issue I'm running into is lack of Breakstones to do the big upgrade for my characters. The slow down on getting tokens for more draws is also stunting my upgrades. Takes forever to level up my top squad now, especially when you're at SS+ you just need more pulls for your characters.

Also, I lucked out and got a Maga Ken in one of my free wish pulls.

Those abilities only reveal themselves if you have High Evolutionary in your deck

Gooot it. I thought that was just a list of upcoming changes/Patriot nerfs.

Patriot lives.

What the fuck?

This is probably a good firing departure.

This whole game is predatory. 99.99 M Bison pack and Bison being busted was all you needed there.

Though if you can unlock the divination draws getting M Bison isn't too hard he has a 2% drop rate from those if you pick him. Though you can't put the Monster Hunter guy in the divination.

The first divination you use once you clear 15-40 DOES always give you a free M. Bison at least.

And yeah this event does feel a bit predatory. I don't love it. There's some outrage from folks, and it's already got me on the fence.

Welp. Where I'm at in the game, Mon Hunny Ken is not helping. lol He was very useful in Shadaloo City when my Chun-Li fell, but aside from that he's getting smashed where I need him to clutch out.

I may give him a shot on Guild Operation since he seems completely busted with buffs though.

Fortunately when you get further in stages, you also get more idle rewards to make it easier to level up.

I'll have to try out Mon Hunny Ken here soon.

Wow, they added a lot of content for the Monster Hunter stuff. If you need more stuff, that all should help.

Game why do you tempt me so to play degenerate decks...

you play Wong already so too late for that

Hit another wall. Got Beast Gief to SS, but I'm stuck on 15-40 now because it has a Cody. And at that rank, he gets a move that lets him start off a lower damage combo (but still quite a bit at that stage), and then if I can interrupt it after the first one, Combat Guile pops off with another one. Really not sure how to deal with this one aside from making my guys beefier.

Still caught on Floor 186, and Collapsed Cave is still pretty outrageous to beat.

Also, what does the game do when you have all the cards? What drops in the cache every 1/3 times instead?

I finally got all Series 3 cards with Captain Marvel as my last one!

I guess I'll just keep trucking until I get Series 4 and 5.

I find the challenge of it more fun than stressful myself! If I get frustrated, I just move on to something else!

Just upgraded Mad Ryu to SS+ Lvl 160, and Chun-Li, Abel, and Beast Gief to S+ Lvl 141+. I'm about halfway through 14 now, at Floor 170, and I was finally able to beat the final boss of Shadaloo Labyrinth. I also finally unlocked the branching Fighting Souls thing (I think that's what it's called) to upgrade my individual stats.

I think I can keep ploughing through stage 14 and then probably the new Global Quest thing.

Oof, stuck on 13-40.

It's honestly less nonsense than everything else. Hugo - Chun-Li - Guile - Beast Gief

It's more manageable than the other walls, but their health pools are completely ridiculous. I can only get Hugo down after 3 rounds, and then Chun-Li close. But Guile has too many AOEs that if I mess up once it's over.

Congratulations!

The game does not explain that, but now that you know you can tackle fights above your weight class.

I'm at the point in my fights now where if I don't stun them at the start of their first combo, I need to reset because otherwise I get nuked.

HE NEVER STUNS ANYTHING

yes I am using the Tornado move thing

the enemies just keep attacking. I never see it

You need to time it perfectly. Dhalsim's is kinda tricky too.

The way to do it is to wait until they almost have a full meter, then start mashing. Preferably with a move that knocks them down at the start (like Chun-Li's Combo starter), and then by the time they stand up, they're going to use their combo immediately, so try to time it so Beast Gief does his tornado and sucks them in right at the start so it interrupts them. You've probably seen Beast Gief's tornado sucking them towards him, so that's the thing you need to stuff the attacks.

See if my replay is still there for an idea on how it works.

If you don't stun Dhalsim at the start of the combo, you get fried. That's why I used Beast Gief to just stun him right away and whittle down everyone. I don't know if you have anyone who can interrupt or stun a backline fighter like that, but it's about the best shot you got.

I was stuck on 12-40 for a while, because I had to get three perfectly timed stuns in a row to stuff their supers.

I'm chugging along through 13 now. I got stuck at Floor 173. Also stuck at the final boss of the Shadaloo Labyrinth.

I almost beat 12-40 which is another two Mad Ryus. Got literally one regular attack away but the last Mad Ryu popped a special and killed me.

It's the last stage to beat until Crusade!

The only problem with Cody is that he stops leveling at, I think, 140. And you can find better utility somewhere else.

I use Abel AND Beast Gief!

Abel offers defense to everyone and then Beast Gief has the stuns!

Basically, I think you need, at minimum, a Tank and ability to do a full 4 special combo. And then build around having the 4/2 team build of character types for the buff there.

You have Mad Ryu, so definitely build around him. You want him alive as long as possible. So you need an actually good tank, and preferably not T. Hawk who is trash. I'd use a Flame or Thunder one because you have a C. Viper leveled up pretty well already and she's outstanding. Back line fighter, AOE, she's got it all. Zangief probably works for your tank as well though. I don't think he's amazing, but he'll do better than T. Hawk.

Having a stun/interrupt power is pretty ace though. It's the only reason I'm able to get as far as I can right now. I can't recall if regular Zangief has any of that. But I'd try to focus on someone with one of those to round out your team.

I can only speak to my experience fighting them, but Decapre constantly gives me more issues. I haven't played with either of them enough to know for certain which is better, but I see people speaking more about Decapre.

I think Fei Long has his uses too, but your resources can probably go somewhere else.

Any B-rank fighters should be used as fodder to awaken your other characters though. They all can't hold up as the game progresses and they're so common they're best used to buff other characters.

Guy and Decapre are better back line fighters. They have their uses to snipe enemies past the tanks. Decapre is probably better though.

Punnyz posted...

Zangief Vs Beast Gief?

My guy, I have literally been soloing everything now that I realized the power of Beast Gief. Lol

Legit I was stuck on Shadaloo Hideout, 10-40, and Floor 140 and now I beat Shadaloo Hideout, 11-40, and Floor 150.

Use Beast Gief. Just go manual and wait until the enemy is about to get their first special bar, smash your combo until his SP3 and let everyone get stunned.

Concerning other folks, Chun-Li's SP1 is what I always open with because it can lower defense values.

Abel, Mad Ryu, Chun-Li, and Beast Gief is the squad.

Edit: If you guys want, you can probably check out my replay on some of these. But Beast Gief and Mad Ryu should probably be on your Limit Break squad at the very least.

Got Floor 150 on Supreme Fist. Trying to make any progress in Trial Shadaloo Hideout but that one is just ridiculous. I can't get past the first part to any other chests.

I'm chugging along chapter 11 but that one is still a bit tough. I can probably make good headway on it. Fortunately I'll be getting a lot of tokens from the 14 day growth so I might get lucky with pulls to beef up my team more.

The grind continues.

Ayyyy I was just able to use the same strategy to clear Supreme Fist Floor 140.

But I regret to inform everyone that chapter 11 and Supreme Fist 141+ is also extremely hard.

Yes, I positively adore this movie.

Yeah, the specifics are Chun-Li's SP1 lowers defense and hits everyone, Abel gives armor to everyone, Beast interrupts, and Mad Ryu just massacres and hopefully confirms a kill to start spamming his passive Hadoukens.

The timing I got was after I got one special bar, I would wait until Chun-Li hit her Kikoken (she also has the speed up fighting soul with Juri, so equip that on her) and then I just mashed every attack in order. Abel went down after two go's but everyone stayed standing for the last enemy.

Beast Zangief was key though. Without him interrupting the combos, everyone just gets wiped so hard.

OH MY GOD I FINALLY BEAT 10-40! AHHHHHH!

I used Abel - Mad Ryu - Chun-Li - Beast Zangief on manual.

I was able to start timing perfectly Beast Zangief SP3 to interrupt their combo.

Chun > Abel > Beast > Mad Ryu

I can't believe I actually did it and it feels like complete dumb luck still but I finally got it. Jesus. That was absurd.

i'm sitting at the 3rd to last fight waiting on my mercs requests to go through because my good characters died lol

I just tried it again this morning and beat it. Mad Ryu is so busted. He just bodies. lol

There's some really cool animations.

Sometimes I'll just hold Cyclops while I'm dragging him just to watch the laser.

Ffffff

I got to the last fight in Arctic Lake, but it had a Bison. I went through my whole roster and only managed to get the final Elena down to 10% health and Bison was still reviving. This sucks. Bison just kept reviving and doing AOE damage and there's nothing I could do.

Blonde was not nominated for best picture.

I could have sworn it was! I know it was nominated for something because everyone groaned.

Is this the first time a best picture nominee won worst picture?

Another thought I had, and absolutely do not read the following until you watch the movie.

I love that they left literally everyone alive but Mindy's new girlfriend. Some people are calling it gutless but there's not a soul that expected every one of them to survive for a moment. Up to the last moment they are attacked, nobody. They built it up with Mindy telling everyone that nobody is safe. Everyone can be killed. Legacy characters are getting the axe. Their friend group is definitely getting axed. Reminding us constantly of times where Randy got axed despite being beloved and popular. Telling Gale that she is expendable now.

And then everybody survives, defying all logic sometimes. Laughed out loud at Tara's boyfriend surviving because these people just suck at securing kills. But not for one moment did I believe everyone was safe here. And by the time the next movie rolls around, I definitely don't feel safe that these same characters are safe at all. I'd be floored if they all survived. Just masterful that there's a kill count of one and still some of the best scenes in this franchise.

Game Night is one of my favorite comedies of all time and I am excited for this movie. Please make Game Night 2.
