Character Battle VIII - 18/24 - Today's Winners: Sora and Neku
HaRRicH | Posted 1/28/2010 8:44:47 PM | message detail
I see a lot of "You have no clue what you're talking about"'s being thrown around...!

Glad to see Neku made this better...now it's more reasonable to think Laharl boosted and Neku may have won in previous years, though that's just hypothetical. Let's see what Laharl gets on Sora now and we'll get a better idea.

Not really. I love WoW, and its grinding. Grinding means more doing the same thing over and over again for an extended period of time... And doing destiny thingies or quick battles over and over again for an extended period of time to unlock all the characters is grinding to me.

As much as my bracket would hate it, I'm going to laugh my ass off if the one year where everyone is universally down on Kefka is the year where he impresses.

I'm not even trying to sound mean. I don't even think Dissidia is a good game, but I still like a lot of it.

The first thing anyone would want to do, before figuring anything else out, is unlocking characters. The game forces you to play a story mode (the tutorial) before you can even see the main menu. If you choose to do quick battles for 30 hours after the tutorial and don't notice you're only getting 10 PP for each fight, you're not exactly keen on perceptive skills. Of course quick battles are a useless grind. The whole ****ing point of QB not giving good rewards early is so you'll do the other stuff first.

I assume you wouldn't call unlocking Smash Bros characters as grinding either. different opinions; I think the way they are handled is grinding. If you don't, thats okay but don't call me stupid over it.


Go Ctrl + F "stupid" on page 4.

Spoilers: Your post is the only one using that word. I implied ignorance (not knowing any better), not stupidity. Not believing someone after getting corrected when proof is provided, however, is stupid.

I was going to save that one in case he was actually winning but I probably won't have to worry about that.
HaRRicH | Posted 1/28/2010 8:52:16 PM | message detail
I consider grinding to be when what you've been doing for fun becomes an obstacle for the fun you want. It's not always a bad thing (I'll grind for SSB-characters), but it can be if it's something like trying to level up so you're strong enough to beat a boss in the next room (especially if you are grinding without any special technique, like if you're plowing through weaklings with basic attacks).

Just get a PP calender bonus or two. If you end up liking the game and playing it a lot, calender bonuses are the thing to go after along with characters. Speeds everything up. The only character that'll suck to build up is your very first one (people can spend 150 hours or more getting the first one to max level/AP), past that it's a breeze.

I fully expect Kefka to get an early lead, hold it for a little while and then completely collapse come overnight/morning. He could lead by 500+ the first hour and I wouldn't be at all worried.

500+? meh... he couldn't even do that in the Diablo match. He just stalled at 150-200 for a couple hours before finally dying in the late night vote.
