It's not armchair policing when I already got you to uninstall.
you care enough to reply

I didn't uninstall because of you, I uninstalled because it's taint.

You aren't that influential, don't get it twisted. I didn't state that I don't care in any way, so you talking about my level of care is weird but ok.

whatever helps you sleep at night.
you even had to tell yourself you don't care yet you replied anyway

Looks like a plain contradiction to me. If running away works in the tutorial but not in a real fight vs. Welkin then it's just one more example of a bad tutorial. You're forced to tediously figure out the correct inputs in a situation that doesn't even come up ingame.

Bottom line, it's terribly done.

you're done yet you're still replying

hypocrisy

You can run away in tutorial as well. Which is why it's well designed.

In a real fight Welkin wants to get you in close range so just because you want to get away that doesn't mean it will always work(melee boost is afaik one of the fastest ways to move, at cost of higher EN consumption; so if you don't have a shield, welkin can just walk up to you and melee you).

You're not reading.

Let me put this in a way you might understand:
have shield-> player welkin spin to avoid perfect block -> player welkin is less able to chase due to spin -> you can get away at least for a bit

dont have shield -> player welkin melee boost and normal melee you knowing you have no perfect block -> you are far less likely to get away

if you can't figure out the correct input in controlled environment against AI you're definitely facerolling keyboard and failing in pvp.

This is the only ace challenge I have left well, except for the obvious 7 days one of course, I dislike the parry mechanic in this game its just too glitchy for my taste, and I have no idea why we have to practice parrying against the best melee mech in the game, couldn't just let us do the challenge against another Alysnes? Just a bad tutorial really.

I passed everything and got the title. I'll tell you what's going to get worse :)

To pass this test, just try to strafe in a circle, and when the energy runs out, use the shield. Don't fight him, don't try to beat him. Just run in circles while you have the energy.

All the tests have pretty clear timings and there is no creativity to pass, let's say.

So you can pass the test while doing none of the things it should be teaching you.

Wow, incredibly well designed test. lol /s

If I member right which one this is, you gotta minimize hang and floating time. It's still really tight.

Yeah, it's super frustrating. They expect near perfection.

Which is funny because when I managed to do it, the timer counted down to 0 yet there were still a few secs to reach the goal during the slowdown.

I already posted video of me playing badly and still killing welkin.

That doesn't make the challenge any less jank.

Can you eat soup with a fork? Technically yes. Is it a fun time? No.

Understand at which stage of your boost you are the fastest.
Understand when you regain EN faster.

Was struggling on this. Found a video of someone actually doing the evasion strategy. Tried it out and got it done on my third try after watching the video.

That being said, there is some obvious issues with timing. Namely from when the count down starts to when the player can actually move. That is the jank problem involved here.

Also as a general statement this "challenge" is suppose to be for new players (hence the general tutorial feel), so most people that are doing this and struggling are going to be new. Some people in this thread are being helpful and giving genuinely helpful tips (avoid going into melee against it, use the shield as a buffer, etc), but it is appalling to see the less than helpful comments and people saying stuff like "Oh just parry it.... It's so easy... don't play multiplayer until you can do this..." Stuff like that is how a community for a game gets a rep for being toxic.

TLDR; Google Mecha BREAK Test Pilot 8 Armor Break to watch some videos of this done. Beta is Beta and most of the challenges are janky. Ignore trolls that are making fun of you for not beating it first try.

ppl complain about this challange when there's literally the falcon challenge where you have to kill sky raider with only machine gun lol(both of it use the flare to counter missile sequentially so no cd on the flare)
