Confusion Fu: Difference between revisions

* MMORPH [[EVE Online]] is notoriously immune to this, ship fittings are crucial to attaining victory, meaning ship fits done poorly will simply result in newbies being crushed (this is of course, a game where a group of low experience players can take down a veteran, since combat mechanics are not reliant on experience point total or reflexes). This is part of what makes the game infamous for its brutal [http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3088/2335016192_6003c39c4c_z.jpg?zz=1 learning curve.]

* It's this basic principle that occasionally lets inexperienced [[Button Mashing|button mashers]] beat experienced players in fighting games (and other games) at least a few times. Skilled players and the AI are generally predictable, but it can be tricky fighting a flailing foe whose moves are often the ''worst'' in a normal situation.

* Voldo in ''[[Soul Calibur]]''. Very few characters in the series can keep up a volley of attacks at an opponent while ''facing the opposite direction''. Or while prone. And then there's his variety of interesting grab attacks, the most acrobatic of which is occasionally known by the [[Fan Nickname]] of "[[Where's Waldo|Where's Voldo]] [[Shout-Out|Now]]?"

** Ditto with Yoshimitsu. Yoshimitsu's repertoire includes propeller-based flight, teleportation, healing himself from the [[Lotus Position]], [[Seppuku]], spinning until dizzy, using his swords as stilts or pogo sticks, and a health-draining face grab, to name a few. Sometimes several of the above occur at once, and the health-drain also unlocks limited usage of a small move pool consisting of [[Shout-Out|an attack borrowed from each Tekken character]].

*** this includes abusing the physics engine to hang over a cliff and shoot things under it, Blow up a building to use it as cover, and even just sitting somewhere if they have a high enough camo rating

* Patty Fleur in the [[Play Station 3]] version of ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]''. Almost all of her attacks have random effects, some of which can actually end up damaging herself or the entire party. The things used for said attacks are just random, including a mini rocket ship she can ride out of the battlefield, presents with harmful "gifts" in them, a frying pan, and mahjong pieces.
