Path of martial arts: leaked sneak peaks, and discussing thread

[OzBorne]

Yeah we've finally gotten some good showings now but the problem is that it's all against random bums. When we go up against He Gang or Ruo we're still made to look pathetic and I'm really hoping that changes soon

We're in the age of 1v1s my child, we're facing nothing but arena top 10s or someone of equivalent power and the crown jewel is our return match against Ruo where I expect to go full power fantasy for both characters, I'm talking Go/jo v Sukuna levels of glaze, I want the whole audience going that shouldn't be possible with every other move, that and I fully expect and desire one or both characters to advance mid combat to xiantian and just lift the stadium with their newly awakened auras
I hope Niki doesn't force it to end as a draw, I know we're getting book 2 but after all the years of wait I'd like to be able to finally knock the imagined dragons' block off

I do want to point out that I don't want to do what we did to Bai Hu to her but just something that'll force her to at least in her own POV stop being so damn smug

Yes, Niki is quite good with fight choreography, at least for me. Twins is a great fight with multiple stances(2v1, Fused twins, Celestial Summoning, Their formation), DES that in my opinion still the greatest fight of the game and Yutai that is the my favourite 1v1 although Muchen's is also great.
As we have already see that the elders can simply create towns for the tourneys phase(Like they did in the FFA), Niki could make it for the final.

Anyway I trust Niki will cook peak. Finally introduce gravity in Space Dao from general relativity. Blood manipulation in Body Dao. After all this pamper to Elemental Dao(Just gained Mokuton in the new update) the others deserve something too.
Also, something interesting in my view would be a variant of the Asura. Of course we are talking about Sukuna's TF here, an Asura form keeping the physical prowess and allowing Dao manipulation. And further, as Fang comment that our Physique make all our movements as perfect as possible, and as Wu Heir is constantly said to perform mudras, could be added an viable explanation of why a new set of arms helps with our Dao Manipulation, increasing SP by 10% or similar.
There's a lot of interesting ideas for what Wu Heir can do, after all, there's nearly no limit to what he can do with the three most fundamental heavenly Daos, if there's something he cannot do, theoretically.

Sadly that will always stick. Don’t worry, Wu Heir is my favorite fraud. But in all seriousness, it’s been years ,Wu Heir is not losing that label anytime soon. Especially to the more casual people, they’ll need to do some insane to lose the label. Once a character gets the fraud or bum memes, they will not lose it.

Niki needs to do a massive rework of Poma after the game finishes.

At this point, Nicky is on the side of Wu Heir glazers. The new update came out and I found not a single aura loss in sight. Wu Heir was moving like if sukuna and gojo fused together.

 

[Shashwaty19]

Maybe some of them are like the dude that thought wu heir on storymode is stronger than shangtians.

Yeah I agree the game is in a very good spot right now, you can see glimpse of how powerful wu heir is now we just need a serious fight to show off all that power.

I mean if we take story mode wu heir's stats literally, then SLM is getting touched by us. Not even heaven has stats this ridiculous.

Is Caihong Shun Len Mong or whatever her Name is? It is said she is also a dragon. Seems like too much of a coincidence. Although I remember a long time ago Nicki said that Caihong is weaker than Tang Prince/ss endgame

 

[Shashwaty19]

I think it’s just Nicky’s fault. From my perspective, the “canon” MC is the one we see when there’s no choice for the player to make; and, at least as I’ve interpreted it, that MC is usually a cautious guy who’s a bit pessimistic and fearful, but he’s also lazy and likes to draw attention to himself. That’s why I don’t usually like choices that lean one way or the other, because it seems (again, the way I see it) like the MC is putting on an act, rather than being natural; as if in his mind he were thinking something like, “Hmm… A good guy would probably act like this in this situation,” so when we choose a good option, he acts like a pushover good guy from a clichéd anime, and when we choose a evil option, he acts more like a rude jerk than someone who’s actually evil.

On the other hand, Anon does this very well with Thunderfaller, since he basically has a well-defined personality regardless of whether he’s doing something good or bad

There's a new scene added in the current update that I'd like to talk about. If LB tells you to kneel and you kneel, the game doesn't make you look like a b*tch but instead Wu heir somehow puts up a solid argument that LB is rendered speechless by, that is even more badass than not kneeling in my opinion. Both kneeling and not kneeling show different aspects of wu heir, those being his prideful nature and intelligence. This is what I like, Wu Heir is growing, learning that he doesn't need to take people's insults and not be disrespectful at the same time. This just feels genuine, Dialogue in Poma is too passive for wu heir in my opinion, he never tries to fight using words and showing people how full of sh*t they are. This kind of unprompted dialogue might seem like a small thing but it makes Wu Heir have so much more personality. This would work especially well on Ruo.

Nah, Shen Long Mu is a beast god and mother of dragons from outside of POMAland. Caihong is not SLM

I didn't see that scene but I saw the one where you were calm after she basically bad touched your soul and she said that you were just like Tang Wei

 

[Gangstapenguin]

anything new in the update about the cultivation manuals? that wannabe Blood king said his original manual got some gimmick that the copy didn't, perhaps the old ver Perk system get allocated to manuals?

This is the one I am talking about, finally a good use of charisma
