I can't think of very much off the top of my head but I recall playing P5 on Easy or Normal and just breezing through the game. Then there was this boss with paintings for body parts (like eyes, mouth, nose are all different painting frames) and the fucker just one shot squad wiped me. On second attempt, I mopped the floor with him. Idk what happened.

I think this happened to alot of players. I can't remember if you learn to target a threatening part first after it wipes you the first time or if the boss has some kind of counter move you learn to avoid, but it is one of those if I remember correctly.

@jdincinerator I didn't think that boss was that hard, besides not understanding I could move near the end. Now Octo Expansion's secret boss, that was a hard fight.

I only ended up halfwatching this while playing Fall Guys, but it seemed like it had some cool stuff. I'd rewatch it, but I know we'll likely see a bunch of it many more times before release, so I'm not going to bother.

@jdincinerator Besides the minigame enjoying crowd, I foresee people getting tired of these very quick with having to rely on the extremely inept and weird rental Pokemon only. The game is already very hard without half your Pokemon's Moves being nonsense you'd never want to use.

VAPORWARE REBORN ANEW

@jdincinerator It isn't even close to exclusive to Shooter weapons, but weapons that are better at covering Turf do tend to be better at Turf Wars. That said, splatting players prevents them from inking turf while your team has time to recover inked turf, so it is still helpful in Turf Wars to take people out. It is just harder to then recover inked turf if you are trying to use a weapon that's bad at that, so you're more reliant on your team having an even composition, so there's people to reclaim it while you focus on taking opponents out.

Like you said though, basically all the Ranked Modes are about an entirely different thing, which lends more room for some of the weapons that aren't very good at inking turf. Also, Salmon Run exists and is full of bosses and general situations where each Weapon excels differently. You're forced to use different stuff each Round of it, so it is good for getting used to a bunch of different kinds of playstyles and learning their strengths and weaknesses.

@jdincinerator Nice to see Nintendo didn't go the pretentious route and call it Breath of the Wild Part II.

@dmcmaster welcome back SunSoft

@jdincinerator Good luck trying to beat the story mode of either with the Rental Teams.

@dmcmaster Sakurai posted bragging about his DVD Masters of the episodes. Thought it was funny, especially that he had to specify that they're not for sale.
