Thursday at 11PM-midnight. Not sure if the transit from the train station is actually going to take an hour, but that's what the maps say.

Thanks @Skarmand, especially for the poke/confirm advice. Though, as I mentioned in the video, a lot of those fireballs are accidental. For some reason when I want to do QCB I end up doing HCB, and the forward part of that gets interpreted as QCF. I don't always attack on jump because I've been...

Last practice stream before NWM: I've been working to incorporate kara-cancelled shadows and DeKillSage's Shadow combos into my play, but it's going to be a bit more work to fully integrate them.

Darnit, you ninja'd my edit for politeness (since I realized you would be aware of CCCaster after posting that. Sorry) Anyway, that's awesome. I really hope ArcSys uses that as a base going forward for everything, if not also using it to retrofit the older games too. I will be waiting on this...

You mean official rollback netcode bundled with the Steam release, as opposed to just CCCaster? If so, that is a godsend.

Given the nature of the condition, I'm fine with that on my first playthrough. When I'm better at the game and not dying all the time, then I'll worry about using it and secret endings.

Bit of a spoiler-y question, but is there a way to make stop happening? I figured out how to undo the effects, at least temporarily, but not how to stop it completely. I'd rather know sooner than later if not, in which case I'll just restart my character and not get caught up in that mess.

Dammit. I don't know what's wrong with my brain, but for some reason doing DeKillSage's Shadow reset loop is a lot harder than it should be. In particular switching from crouching to standing to crouching really messes me up (c.LK, s.MK, c.HP). I either don't hit the c.HP, or I do c.MK, or I do...

Thanks @Mike_Z. Come to think of it, that makes my footnoted point even more valid. Are there any genres I forgot about when it comes to the level of connectedness with fighting games? I'm assuming the netcode and damage volume details you mentioned apply to 3rd-person melee action games as...

I meant wireless internet, not the controller (though having that wired is good too). Wireless internet has a harder time providing a stable connection than wired, which means if your connection gets some interference then it will (to oversimplify grossly) have an temporarily higher ping...

Whooo, I finally got over my salt enough to make a workable video for YouTube again. I guess commentating my Dark Souls 3 play is helping me keep a slightly cooler head. Anyway, sorry @joshb911, I forgot all about being shown the shadow combos during the session, but I've got them in another...

Are you on wireless? Are you able to maintain a consistent 60 fps (Steam has a frame counter you can access via Shift-Tab > Settings > In-Game > "In-Game FPS Counter")? Are you running anything else on the connection? Have you had similar issues with other games, especially other fighting...

Best I've managed is 2-action Razmi. Granted it was because I didn't actually bother to get the 3rd action, but I still won.

Arguably the shields in Dark Souls were "easy mode" items, since you could just hang out behind them with a spear, or just until you were ready, then attack. You didn't have to learn how to use rolls or anything twitchy like that. Granted the game was built around shields, but it's starting to...

Yeah, I've was going to my locals regularly and I only did better than 0-2 in GGXrd the last time I went (though I got busy on Wednesdays since then, but it was a very educational experience).

How close is it to Chicago proper?

That's what the roomsharing thread is for. We have 3 rooms booked up right now and apparently one almost fully open room.

That's one of the reasons I kinda like GG more than BB (well that and the pace of BB always felt clunky pre-CP), you can get away with shorter combos, though Millia's Xrd a BnB requires IAD canceling, which was a pain to get right. Still, the mechanical quirks are less apparent with shorter combos.

I'm getting in Thursday evening and even I'm not particularly happy about this either.

I'm curious, do you have a articulable reason why, or is it a subconscious/semi-conscious feeling?
