19:48 My brother in Christ, that might be the most disgusting comeback I've ever seen in this game. Huge props to Monarch for that. The _Awakening the Chaos_ choir kicking in around the same time must have given Lambda strength, XD. Her theme synced almost perfectly with the gameplay during the entire comeback.
8:28 - 8:45 Whoa! Are you trying to kill me or something?! What did I do to you?" Naoto said to an empty battlefield after shearing Jin's soul apart with his most powerful attack and erasing him from existence. I legitimately love how dialogue like that clashes hilariously when you Astral some poor dude, because the characters just casually using them in random non-fatal duels isn't canon XD. I think the only characters to canonically Astral Finish someone are Ragna killing Terumi, Jin crippling Azrael, and Naoto killing the Spinner in the Bloodedge Experience books.
Omfg, DAT sequence: from 08.07min to 08.14min. SO GOOD. The mental resonance to predict exactly in which frames Kasha would try to move. Just beautiful
I think that he's turbo-underrated when it comes to fun. A lot of people are like "oh, he's the main character with a super basic moveset that's beginner friendly". As someone who co-mains him and Jin, Ragna may be simple, but his monke-brain offense is still very fun and satisfying to play. Simple doesn't have to mean boring.
What's the reason for using the guard crush in a combo? If you go Ragnas normal routes you save the 25 meter and only lose out on like 400 damage at most if even that? I think a couple times you ended only getting like 200 more damage. 🤔
Builds up Active flow more quickly. Notice a lot of times I'm comfortable popping overdrive into super because the timing for Active Flow lets me get it back immediately while cashing out + lifesteal.
10:35 Susanoo combo. I would just put down the controller and figure out what I did wrong. This player just ran a combo video combo on me. That was such a flex I'm getting spectator pain from this if you're not feeling it. The best matches are always fighting someone of equal skill level or just slightly better. Susanoo just has better buttons than you and just showing you what a God of Destruction can do. Not Fame tier but respectable. Former Ragna player myself so glad to see some folks still holding the torch since rollback is now a thing. Have the game on PS4 but too lazy to buy it again on PC. I most likely will at some point but going at it with Nine instead. I look forward to playing you one day and being in a montage if our connection can hold up.
