CRACKPOT TERASHI IS NEZU THEORY INCOMING:

ALSO, SPOILERS. DUH.

Shortly after Nezu was humiliated by Rei in the KAT, he stopped idolizing Mockey (or whatever the hell the ripoff disney character is called) and started to read legends of Long Min and Fa after hearing about them from someone in Bishamon, ending up idolizing them both instead of Mockey, whether out of shame for "failing" Mockey, or realizing that continuing to childishly idolize a cartoon character would restrict his ability to grow as a fighter and a person.

His PTSD from his humiliation is so deep-seated and traumatic, that Nezu decides to totally reinvent himself and start anew as the ultimate combination of

Me (Dragunov, 2nd Dan) vs Lei (Expert)

I lost the first game 0-3: -900 mmr

I won the second game 3-2: +80 mmr

I get angry and queue up with Noctis (Expert), get matched with a Yoshi (3rd Dan)

I win the first game 3-1: +1200 mmr

I win the second game 3-0: +350 mmr

​

Is this game just throwing the mmr boosts/decreases into a fucking randomizer?

I legitimately do not understand how mmr is calculated, it seems like it's completely arbitrary.

Fuck this dumbass ranked ladder I'm going back to playing unranked

I just now realized that when you hit an enemy that is blocking with Nago's sword, the Blood Gauge degen is cut by like ~80-90%. The blood absorb vfx is exactly the same whether it is blocked or not, but there's a massive difference between the two. I guess once you know that's how it works then it doesn't matter, but I don't think it's ever really made very clear.

It says his sword command normals reduce/restore when they LAND, but they don't even use the terms reduce/restore consistently in the Slash command normal descriptions, so it's reasonable to assume that on Block a hit LANDS, because it doesn't WHIFF, which is what I had assumed to be the dichotomy they were referring to.
