Gargos, Godlike, full buff, no consumables, no guardians and a perfect.. it happened!

And you have terrible ideas about gameplay and balance. We all have our flaws :thumbsup:

Way to go, I got lucky with him on Godlike, I’m not very good just yet, but during his Instinct, crouching HK helps a lot (as long as he doesn’t have his eyes to get your attack parried). But you actually managed to beat him with only ONE character, I had to do it with two.

Good thing SL isn’t a balanced mode. Whew, lucky for that.

There is an important line between unbalanced/hard and fun. The mode is supposed to be fun first and foremost, so breaking rules/adding difficulty just for the sake of it should be done with extreme caution.

I wasn’t taking fun into the equation here. Also that’s subjective. And games have been doing this thing for years. This isn’t new.

Yeah, and a lot of games that increase difficulty superficially or in poorly thought out ways are not fun.

Anyway, we’re getting into "what if"s here, instead of just talking about the mode as it exists. I’m still skeptical if they choose to remove some of the exploits, although I understand that if there is a super basic exploit it kind of takes the steam out of the mode. It’s why specially-tweaked shadows AI is the way to go, and since the AI and I can’t actually play the same game together, I will just be looking for whatever exploits I can in the short term. If it wants to try and invalidate all the skills I’ve learned playing fighting games for years by playing a different game, then I’m left with no choice but to try and invalidate its advantage in this kind of way.

Alright, I’ll let it go.

Other then that. I got nothing.

Well i tried this just to see.. .. It it seems like my gargos knows how to jump lol

I beat godlike Gargos with only 2 buffs removed and barely won with 3 characters almost all dead. Had to use the Omen 3 bar move (forgot the name) and got some use out of this Hisako trick, but my main Fulgore got it badly :sad_but_relieved_face:

So a fair fight vs Gargos without these tricks is pretty hard with those pests out to help him…
