What's your big "Oh, THAT'S how I do that" moment? (lemmy.world)

I remembered a good brainfart of mine and wondered if anyone else had one to share.

Mine is this: I couldn't figure out how to parry attacks in MGR: Revengence all the way up to Monsoon. I just jumped around a lot and played ultra aggressively and it worked! ...Kind of! I just had to make sure I NEVER used heavy attacks. Blade Wolf was a nightmare but I was able to muscle through, but Monsoon? No way in hell.

I still blame the combat tutorial though. "To parry, push the control stick toward the enemy and press the light attack button!" I interpreted that as "just make sure you're facing the enemy and time the button press right." when they meant "Push the stick in the direction of the enemy and press attack AT THE SAME TIME."

So many hours wasted trying to jump at the right cadence.

God help you if you weren't super Sonic by that point

Or just use up and down on the d-pad to move the barrel

Oh, THAT'S how I do that.

Oh hell. How did I forget the barrel. That might be the biggest moment of this of all time. That barrel tortured me for weeks

Funnily enough, I figured it out really fast, like I GET IT, it was a very strange and wonky mechanic to suddenly hit players with, but i was immediately wiggling around the moment I got on it, trying to figure out what they wanted and noticed that I was bouncing a little more when I moved up and down. So kind of... like pure chance I got out alive lol
