Who do we think the remaining three champions are this year?
Our guesses are Riven, Lux and Rengar!
Why?
Riven would be an amazing second rep for Noxus. Her League of Legends gameplay was in fact inspired by fighters! If not Riven, i'd go with Samira or Katarina
Lux is the poster child of League of Legends. And would be the best rep for Demacia
Rengar is the normie choice to appease the people who want champs that don't sell skins or want very plain "fighter" champs in the game ala Sett. Jokes aside I think he'll be an amazing addition and Ixtal's rep!

Whenever this gets brought up people fail to acknowledge how 3 frames / 48ms are artifically added and removed to enable godlike cross continent online.
Frama data is tailored with this in mind. Fastest overheads are 22f instead of 20f. Fastest jab is 6f instead of 4f

I was on the toilet doing my business when I thought of a potentially really cool idea riot could do with a new fuse.
The Float Fuse. At champ select after picking your champs you can pick the Float Fuse to universally airdash in all 8 directions with a neat slide with foward momentum if done low into the ground akin to melee. Length and speed will vary depending on character.
Now obviously the idea of turning all into Ahri sounds horrifying but I feel like it could be balanced out by decreasing ground speed and being able to air block after 10 frames instead of 5 and starting with lower health due to your new light weight.

A realistic take for upcoming 6th fuse?
They want to add 1 per year which is nice here is some more bullshit:
Defence Fuse - Parry doesn’t cost meter (probably way worse than freestyle still)
Anti-Air Fuse - All your ground normals become air unblockable.
Punisher Fuse - Gains eject and all attacks do double damage to assist characters.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>563392807
>>563398147
Fuses are modifiers on the tag systems specifically. It's why fury and pulse got implemented into the base gameplay instead of staying fuses. Air dashes and parrys don't align with fuse philosophy. Punisher seems good though.

the big thing is that whenever im struggling with a new combo i just have to make a whiny post on 4chan about how i can't hit it and then i'll immediately start hitting it
that's why i simply cant let this thread die, i won't have that tech anymore

Lore n setting enjoyer eh?
A strange thing I noticed is the absence of fanfic or less fanart. Other fighting games are standalone titles if you think that one dude looks cool you have to contribute to its discourse.
Sometimes a big IP can be a drawback because all of those surface level design appreciators engage at LoL outposts instead to reach a bigger audience.

i pick and choose pretty tightly, i'm only familiar with a very small percentage of the setting (lost a lot of interest ages ago when they did their first rewrite)

How do you puppet? I should learn it cause I heard Akali's S1 can do it
>>
>>563475965
Had a similar thought. It might have/had 7k daily basically 2nd biggest fighting game and upper suits at Riot would still hit them with: "this sucks dude stop burning money"
In an attempt to maybe save their fired work buddies through a possible community outcry opposite happened they destroyed their own reputation and sparked bad faith videos en masse.
Game is fire and if you put in the time, got fundies and don't mind tag you quickly can't resist. Sadly all that forced drama strays new blood away and they'd rather dunk on it further despite not knowing why they dislike it themselves.
>>
>>
>>563482279
Recent patch did good, Akali is beloved, devs seem aware what community wants and they try to fix it fast. 2xko can only improve as time goes on with Tokon's release being a breaking point with where the tag community ends up.
Current Fgc climate doesn't forgive anything if it happens to be unbalanced, too simple/boring a tiresome hate spiral starts like we just saw with Invincible vs. Guys like Hikari or Wawa won't migrate if what I'm afraid of it playing more like 1v1 instead of 4v4 is true.
What I'm trying to say: difficult but reputation can be restored and I love its potential direction

So not an expert but the way I understand it is after you active tag out of your character, you can press certain inputs on your now active character, and the other character will do their puppet input too
The easiest one that can set this up to practice puppet akali s1 is probably caitlyn who also has a good s1 move
The sequence you'd do to practice is call cait assist with akali on point, handshake tag to cait, press s1 as cait and akali should also do her puppet input s1 too, and her follow up s1 should work too
This sequence is useful especially for freestyle, since you can swap back to akali after puppeting and have a cait bullet incoming to help protect, but depending on your team it may or may not be that useful
There's a video somewhere that can help explain it but I don't remember it, hope this helps
>>
>>
>>563488923
Yeah certain moves lost the ability to be puppeted like ahri air s2/6s2 recently.
Easiest thing for me is press and hold chargeable special/heavy tag out keep on holding while ideally pressing a different button on point.

hmmm i think the character crisis continues
akali is just too selfish of a point char, her assists being so dogshit means that you really can't play darius with her imo, he needs at least a decent assist to play at all. unfortunate bc his tackle feels pretty good for her but her only contribution to his side of things is that gloriously good super assist
maybe i try a projectile assist char next... jinx? cait?
>>
>>563579874
the way i approach it is to play her point almost exclusively, even though ahri's my main
then once she's dead, she'll finally be useful with her super assists
but aside from the super assist,
her 6T is still useful for blockstring stuff
projectile means they can't just parry it for a free escape and knockdown

Akali team specific stuff with every character
Also the akali s1 followup is the one that is puppet able, not the initial s1
So the sequence would be like call assist akali s1 then tag to assist and puppet s1 and akali should be able to get her followup s1, I tried it with ahri

There was this stuff that I saw, but I don't think the drills in 2xko are that mandatory compared to sf6 where if you don't pass the unc check you'll just get cucked
Apart from like the anti air or practicing handshake tag, you still need to win neutral to start using a majority of the general drills, so Idk how useful these are
