Slayer is so Dandy he is the first one in getting an Instant Kill in Strive

[@flipperjr.3822]

5:19 I don’t think enough people are talking about how Nago disappears off the right side of the screen and reappears on the left side, meaning Slayer launched him around the entire world.

[@hafirenggayuda]

Last horizon basically his nerfed instant kill. Rather than uppercutting foes to the sky/outer space, Slayer instead send them circling the earth

The only thing is it not being able to do air moves after.

Super Mappa Hunch for the Super Nintendo

[@colingaul9579]

Hard agree. I get there is a reason they did that (mappa means naked apparently) but Dead on Time is a much cooler name. But considering this is the only real issue I have (at the moment) with Slayer, character is looking pretty cool.

[@mariobutwithdrip8944]

I hate it too, but I think they did just because it doesn’t send into the air anymore and is just a really big “fuck you” Mappa Hunch

Still bold of Arc Sys to choose “Lobotomy Patient” for the tone of these narrations.

ur genius

[@dontwannabeahero1570]

They are voiced to way they are so they are clear and concise While it is a tad dull having a monotone and clear voice is vastly better so anyone can understand it

[@HiddenVariable777]

Boo hoo.

[@ByrneBaby]

@@dontwannabeahero1570 I disagree completely. I don't think it'd be that hard to have the VA's speak clearly while doing their character voice, nor do I think it would be distracting. Adding flavourful dialogue and more interesting characterization or depth to the newcomers would be vastly better to me.

[@cashordeals3672]

Last horizon is 🔥 and really disrespectful 💀

[@botero01]

The possibilities for truly disorienting offense are readily apparent, and he feels SO STRONG, so OVERWHELMINGLY STRONG, awesome job on the animations and playful details, wonderful as always. I think people don´t really appreciate the value of elegance in gameplay. You want as few systems as possible, but you want those to produce endlessly complex variations when combined. The best example of this is the game of GO. With only one move possible, it´s orders of magnitude more complex than chess. Anyway, another artistic triumph by Daisuke and co. The theme sounded awesome in the trailer as well... with the big sexy SAX, hype for that also.

[@rivy-lurk-869]
