Children of the atom, very hard, and colossus is an absurd

[hugocarvalho90]

dang I am sweating a lot in 4 stars, so changed to 2 stars, and is still hard for me still feel like the 4 stars :D.... but one char is dang broken and its colossus, dude grabs you when you are away, close, falling, eating, showering, and all the enemies defend almost aways perfect (ground, air, wakeup) in a supposed easy mode (2 stars, medium 4 stars... not tryied other difficultys).

You need to save your meter to tech grabs in CotA, grabs are strong in that game and it's dangerous if you don't have meter. Look up some youtube videos or something.

No, this is ridiculous. I got filtered by Sentinel in my first match, I dropped the difficulty to 1 star and I'm on Match 4 now. The CPU blocks every single attack I throw at them, if I manage to cross them up I immediately get filtered by grapples (vs Omega Red right now) and I'm struggling to grasp how Children of the Atom even works. I figured out Tornado Claw and Drill Charge but I can't figure out when I can or can't use Berserker Barrage, etc.

It feels like my inputs are jank or super broken as well. Is there input lag with USB Dualsense or something? I mean, even then. The CPU is reading my inputs like I'm on max difficulty right now. lol

At one star!

It plays much differently than the other games in the collection, there is momentum, body types matter, you need meter to tech grabs, you should definitely look into the game on youtube (or somewhere) to get a better idea of how the game plays, but its true, it's a hard game to just wing it.

It says grappling is towards m.P or h.P, but the input never works. Do I have to be going through the opponent? lol

Teching feels like it functions correctly, but even cross ups in this game are 50:50.

It’s crazy because I just don’t remember this ♥♥♥♥ on the ps1 versions of these games when I played them. Then I realized all the inputs are broken 2 controllers and a stick none of the inputs are right they all are just totally random on whether they work. It’s even worse in marvel super heroes the inputs are almost not functional.

These games have become cult classic and to be honest most modern fighting games suck.....

Dude, THIS. I'm trying Marvel Super Heroes right now and I've made it further but holy moly. I can't even do HP+HK Drill Charge. It just simply doesn't work. Low and Med input just fine, but high is completely broken.

I also realize this is the arcade ports with the cheat AI, but holy moly. I wanted to at least learn how to play these games. The Lv1 AI in Marvel Super Heroes is set to "near impossible" as well. At least in this game, it's marginly easier to break defence (in that, I can do it) but I'm only on fight 4 against Iron Man and I'm sweating for my entire life. It's not like I'm a newbie to Marvel or SF in general. It's been a minute since I've played, I can crush later SF games on the highest difficulty but I can't keep up with all this input reading at level 1 on a game I don't fully know how to play. What were they thinking?

man I played on Arcades (old times) and emulators (medium is normally what I play) before, and I really dont remember being this hard on medium and easy. but for sure I played this game very little so I really dont remember... I finished the marvel super heroes now, and street fighter vs x-men. will try to tech grab (I was doing sometimes, but the char (colossus) can grab far from the char box, even when I do a X special, its ridiculous, I jump he gives a shoulder charge, I fall he is already grabing hahaha).

You do have to be close to grab, yeah. I haven't played the game in like 10 years so I am just going on memory. There in also Momentum meaning moves take on different properties based on how much speed you picked up and a lot of things are very character dependent, I think there are like 3 different body types and different moves and combos are affected by that, so it's easy to not understand why some things are were working and now are not working or whatever. It is a hard game with lots of knowledge checks.

Fight doom and thanos as juggernaut i wanted to kill myself. this is def the arcade versions lmao

I played it on level 1 and I thought it wasn't so bad...until I got to Magneto who honestly just feels impossible. Seriously is there some trick? Because I have no idea what you are supposed to do against him. I'm not sure if "grabbing a lot" works considering he auto-regenerates meter (also the way grabs works in Xmen COTA they just feel somewhat unreliable to pull off, at least for me)

He is a quarter eater, nothing fair about it.

Changed most of the difficulty sliders to '0' and havent had a problem beating any of the games... in fact on zero its quite easy. Magtneto you just avoid and block untill his shield drops, dash under his aerial projectiles etc. At higher difficulties I know he is insane... Rugal from kof 94/95 always was a hard boss for me as is Gill from SF3.

Luckily you only had to spend like $8 one time to get your cheeks slapped in perpetuity rather than dropping your monthly allowance in one day to get rolled in three minutes and not have any tokens left to play anything else
