Played a Foundry mission without checking the recommended level. Since Foundry missions don't have a way to lock out players below the recommended level, I totally accepted a quest that was meant for characters about ten levels above me. I died two or three times each encounter.

Star Trek Online. Foundry missions are hilarious. So many typos, so many fursonas (although the gameplay actually is a lot of fun and some of them are genuinely challenging).

A wrestler in a wolf costume, a cartoon girl with a top hat and tons of explosives, and an eldritch shapeshifting demon all walk into a bar. "Walk into a bar" in this case means utterly beat me into a pulp with the hypothetical bar.

Double, Beowulf, and Peacock are some of my least preferred characters to fight. The only way it could've been worse would be Double, Beowulf, and Big Band.

Skullgirls

Arcade Mode on Hard as Squigly and Cerebella

Once you perfect using Cerebella's level 1 grab Blockbuster (the ever famous "HERE WE GO!") then you can pull wins out of your arse. It's the most damaging level 1 super, and the only other one that comes close is Big Band's level 1, but only if it's been powered up by his taunt. Plus, it's a command grab super, so they can't block it easily.

Guess I forgot how hard Zelda 2 was

You have a long and difficult path ahead of you, my friend. Best of luck.

I am bad at remembering to use supers. And then when I remember to use supers I can wind up fumbling for the right command and get myself combo'd even more while messing up.

Plus, having tried beta and playing around with Robo Fortune, I may have found an alternate teammate for my Squigly. Robo's beams as an assist are really useful for helping Squigs to get in close. And also useful for catching and resets. And also useful for chipping. And mixups. Basically good beam spam.

Goddamn elephants. My awesome Merfolk Transmuter, cats[<-Proper name], who was basically a kung fu kitchen magician with their blade hands died trying to go toe to toe with a dire elephant. Note to self, those hurt. I did a HELL of a lot better on this run then any other, mostly because of using blinking and teleportation scrolls a lot more then I usually do. Escape items are the fucking BEST. I vanquished like 3-4 ghosts of previous incarnations of cats[I don't know how to change names for different characters, so its cats all the way down.] and ginsued the Minotaur of the Labyrinth too, for extra bragging rights.

Hmm. I always give myself a mental tickbox. "Have I just completed a shitty combo or ended with a HP, HK or special? Is the foe ground bouncing, rolling or just crumpling? If so, use super."
Though with Eliza that turns into "Spam Sekhmet and her medium punch combo."

Different characters have more usable supers to end combos with - a good example is Double's Level 1 super, the one with the car thingy.  Invincibility, and if you hold the opposite direction, it comes from the other side. Same with Filia's Gregor Samson, which causes wall bounce at the end of it, so you could combo into something else and into a Fenrir Drive.

Even if you're terrible with 360 inputs (there are precisely two in the game: cerebella's second level 1, and Fukua's totally for novelty level 5), her other level 1, Diamond Dynamo is a solid option for finishing a combo.

Oh yeah, and Squigly's not terrible at approaching. While her dash has a windup period to it, her jumps are not terrible. You can hit confirm pretty effectively with j. MP, and let the extra hits play out.

All the good ones are REALLY FUCKING GOOD though. Like, better then the missions Cryptic craps out good. I can copy over a list for you if you like.

Also I thought missions auto'd to your level now?

Man I miss playing that, stupid virus.

Most missions I've played have a little "Recommended for level xx characters" line in the description. I'm awful at STO and mostly just stare at the pretty lights in combat, so I don't know what's going on with the numbers behind the scenes.

Found myself in the crossfire of no less than 4 enemy battleships in the middle of the map. Swift destruction followed

I fell victim to the Steam summer sales already. My discipline is weak

Real life. At least the game I picked up was Dark Souls, a game which is somehow 100% unspoiled for me and looks like the sort of game I've been wanting to play for a long time.

Oh shoot that's on sale?
I know what I'll be posting here soon, then.

Or rather, Prepare to Die. I really doubt anyone with no experience can go through the game without dying.
Damn character builds though. I had no idea what to invest in and just knowing how to fight didn't help much... Using someone else's build though is very boring. Ah well, may have to have a go at it again. (Doesn't help that I only play solo, even in Monster Hunter...)
