Is the character in the right saying the white-lettered words?

In Souls-like games, pressing the 'dodge' button when on a narrow platform is a very easy way to accidentally jump off the platform and die horribly.

What controllers use X for the dodge button? Even with over 2k hours in From Software games combined this joke didn't register with me lol

"How do speech bubbles work?"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Centurri's style is heavily influenced by manga so it's probably intended to be read right to left.

Even then it doesn’t work great. You can only guess wo says what because of the context.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

at least the colo(u)rs match up

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Took me five attempts to understand this is read right to left

Why X isn't dodge usually B/o?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Dark souls isn't the only game with a dodge. In fact, in dark souls traditionally just pressing dodge will get you a back step, not a roll, so I'd argue that this isn't specifically a dark souls reference, just action RPGs in general.

Because the person who posted the comic said it's a direct reference to ds3 (not the comic artist, mind you, just the poster here) it must absolutely be ds3, and nothing else.

I think DS3 is X. At least one of the Dark Souls games is, I have it ingrained in my muscle memory.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (17 children)

DS3 uses the usual souls controls

It's okay that it's not from dark souls. The joke still works, some games use X to dodge, and some of them include multiplayer and narrow platforms with death below.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not a single souls game on any platform used x to dodge

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

In Japan x and o are swapped, so souls games on Japanese consoles use x

When I booted up Final Fantasy VII for the first time on my PS1, I was so confused as to why I could not start a new game. I was young, but I'm pretty sure I just shrugged and put the game away for months.

Damn Fia got stacked.
