Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.

Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.

An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.

We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

people say souls boss patterns are "tough but fair" because you just learn to react to their delay tricks too and you can dodge everything lol. how do you open people up in pvp when they know parry timings for the weapon animations though?

that's right. unknown timings are tough and unfair.

this is literally why i spent 15 years feeling like i just slopped everything while eternally being told that i was actually really hard to beat, and why every character i've played except aigis i was always confused why my "mixups" never worked and people only got hit by weird mids and shit

mhm really good players know all about it and use it and compliment you for doing it but it's like never EVER talked about widely. frame traps, spacing traps, whiff punishes yeah yeah yeah but this is like. this is something else.

I feel like there's a stigma about getting opened up by mids and a kind of a lexical gap talking about timing mix-ups, where like even if you just go a layer above a frame trap like representing a gap to just wait a couple frames and try to punish movement or reset pressure.

i'm watching beta and realizing virtually every problem i've had with kohaku (except defending against top tiers and doing feint loops) is because i haven't thought about this enough in any context except shield breaking. like lilith, it's all she has. the feint low is only a timing mixup too

by dust i meant sweep. dust2

the next gg game should have a downward dust launch that buries them in the ground for a couple seconds
or elphelt shotgun. people will talk about the responses to individual moves as an "rps situation" but as opposed to her special canceling dust or something where she has to do the next move on a pretty strict timing she could just not do anything for a short amount of time

talking to people about vsav has a tendency to lead me to want to link the essay from hilary about offense and defense in vampire savior, with a focus on timing mixups. and then i read it again and it makes so much more sense to me again. it's a martial arts text hilary.svbtle.com/vsav-kasane-...

I am having a really rough go of it as of late. Snap is here but it barely covers a week of food. And I’m also just feeling especially swamped- physically, mentally, emotionally.

Please please please help if you are able.
