I plan on playing SNFA tomorrow guys at 8PM EST.

>Attends SNFA
>Get bullied
That's ok. It was fun! I'll do better next week anyway.

>Attends SNFAv2
>Get bullied
Jeez, you guys are so good, it's nearly impossible to keep. It's like you guys are Super Saiyans and the only thing I have is Kaioken. It's good, but not good enough.

>Attends SNFAv3
>Get bullied
Ha, Maurosk was right. I'm more suited for a normal.

It was the same for me, but this guys are chill on the chat, just enjoy the videogames and stay ouy of the fights until they have kill each other and kill the survivors.

Haha fuck yeah.

How do you think I felt when I use to play FA back in 2008 and I could only play against japs.

Hmm, I wish I was cool enough to join the SNFA cool kids club(chat).

>stay ouy of the fights until they have kill each other and kill the survivors.

That's a great plan! But from my own experience it always goes something like this;

>Six man Battle Royale
>Four of them deliberately OBs towards the edge of the arena
Me: "Hey guys, where ya goin?
>It's now a 1v1
ALRIGHT! Watch as I preform some of the greatest stunts in the history of mankind! My body has never been more ready to entertain you.Seriously. this makes EXTREMELY nervous. Like, OH NOES! I was ambushed! Why me, little me?


Sheesh. FA in its prime was a whole other beast.

...

Fucking shit Christ on a cracker how do I make the Flare Gun work. I can only hit the full damage sweet spot in test mode, and if I knockdown beforehand to make distancing easier the damage is pointlessly small anyway.

what's your PSN? we could find a time to train a bit and look at stats.

To be fair, 90% of FA pvp is just abusing netlag.

You mean the VD target gun? I think it has some wonky hit mechanics in pvp.

If you want to win in FA online, use a permaflight latona build with dual saplas and a laser rifle + assault rifle.

The ONLY way to hit someone reliably in FA is 1 of 3 scenarios:
>Fire at them with a super high Muzzle velocity at close range (MV is 4-5x higher than their range)
>Fire at them while they're sitting still for >1 second
>Fire at them while they are moving toward you for >1 second

So the best way to play is to spam high MV rifles and sniper rifles in close range for chip damage, then punish HARD when they move toward you or you caught them out of EN or not paying attention to you.

Any shots fired in any other circumstances will miss.

So with the above build, you basically spam your rifles to keep an AP lead while kiting from above, and when they rush at you you quick draw a sapla and punish them to oblivion.

There are more advanced techniques, like QB chaining and using your OB/QB to accelerate your round velocity to make them hit more frequently. You can also use missile spam (high act missiles + vertical shoulders are a good combo) or abuse framelag. You can also joust, using OB with large missiles. But honestly, you won't need any of these tactics because most other players aren't that good anymore, since everyone's out of practice.

Why are there AC communities on PS4?

Just add someone from /acg/, they'll invite you to the chat

Because not everyone had a PS3, and there's a lot of Bloodborne and DS3 fans on PS4. Plus who wants to have two consoles running to stay in touch with friends?

>add someone from /acg/
>/acg/ is anonymous and no one posts PSNs

My psn is Xezberzs96.

Fuck off Xez.

...

why are manga faces are so disgusting?

every time I see something posted like that it just reminds me of those creepy spongebob faces

Alright that's it.
I was going to let you enjoy SNFA but now I'm going to make you my fucking bitch.
