Well that's the other side of the coin, that's a fight he absolutely should have lost. The phoenix snacks on planets.

Yeah, the average visual novel trope is that the MC loses fights they should have won for melodrama. Null getting wrecked by juggs is perfect, sentinels is fair, but it still ends up with the MC being depowered for narrative reasons outside of the players controll. It's cutscene incompetence. There should always be a way for the player to use knowledge in place of strength and vice versa, otherwise it's a nonstop kobayashi maru. The jostar family secret technique should also be an option. My point is deus ex is a really good game.

Idk, man. I'd rather Null getting his ass on a silver platter served by Gordon Ramsey because he went way over his head than him jumping on the "I wanna protect people" rocket and blasting mfs. Anime did a lot of damage

I was thinking more of an option to be a massive coward and run away or use a flashbang on juggs, asymmetrical warfare, with "I want to protect pussy" on a silver platter

Phoenix also has to acclimate to a host,
A lot of people forget that the Phoenix Force is like the Enigma Force or the Shadow King, a metaphysical being that uses a host to manifest on the physical plane.

It just uses Jean as a vessel but has it's own will and while it's bound to a host can not access it's full power, which is why it conditions the host to be a better vessel. It also exists in multiple planes at once, even while bound to Jean it's still a psychic nexus and can bind to multiple hosts at once.

This version of Jean is still young and the amount of time Phoenix has had to shape her is small. It also didn't take Null as a serious threat since even if he shut off Jeans powers it wouldn't remove it. It was toying with him out of personal curiosity and a mix of vanity, if it had taken him as a serious threat and went all out from the start it would have won.
It was toying with Null out of boredom and let him win because it was far from being able to use Jean to her full potential and Nulls victory didn't matter to it, it just got mildly annoyed at the end but lost nothing regardless.

Yeah, if the Phoenix wanted to, it would have obliterated Null in an instant. The only reason it didn't is because Null is no threat to it, has no interest in becoming a threat to it and potentially also dicking it through its host and possible future host if Rachel joins the harem.

Wait a min guys, has the story progressed so far? I don't remember seeing Phoenix in the game. I'm pretty sure I'm not THAT behind on updates.

 

[TangerineTango]

So uh... there any ideas when the next update comes out? as well as when update 1.1 comes out? Just curious cause I'm gearing myself for trying to breakdown ron chon's timeline for the x-men again xD

Last I heard ron vanished to do his masters or whatever med students do. (I wouldn't know)

 

[NexivSelecaf]

So uh... there any ideas when the next update comes out?

Soon.

as well as when update 1.1 comes out?

Not anytime soon.

According their latest patreon post they are angling to get the new update out by the end of the month (another 8.0 version, not 9.0 yet)

Still no date for 1.1 though

First time player and still relatively early game. What exactly am I meant to do when girls text me saying they want to hang out? We meet in front of the mansion, then they don't seem do want to do anything. Jean said she was bored so I told her to follow me to the pool, then when I ask her to swim she just says "Sorry, I'm busy at the moment."

 

[MarianTheSharkFace]

how to get the girl wear a bigger butt plug? They alway tell me the size is too big for them.

Oh and dont know if this was asked already, but since the girls mention using pills and Laura says she is hyperfertile and need an IUD, is there a chance pregnancy will be implemented in the far future?

 

[NexivSelecaf]

Keep trying. Also, keep in mind that, unlike in RLE, their willingness to try bigger plugs and their willingness to go harder and faster with anal are mutually exclusive.

is there a chance pregnancy will be implemented in the far future?

Maybe.

Oh and dont know if this was asked already,

It has.

I am shocked we still dont have an x-men porno with Johnny Sins as professor XXX.

Oh god no.

Again, this is based on my reading of the scenes, and that should be taken with industrial accident levels of salt. So yes, Hulk abilities seem possible, but he would need to try to manifest those powers individually in extreme life-or-death situations, which isn't a good idea.

Null's X-Gene isn't gonna randomly make him have gamma radiation.

Will he be exposed to gamma radiation separately? I have no idea. I'm not a writer.

If I was a writer I'd say no because I don't want Null to be like Ichigo where he has ALL of the powers.

just because of how the mc has a better version of taskmaster's power

Taskmaster by no means has the ability to copy powers. He copies combat techniques/styles with a suit that increases his durability so people like Spiderman and Luke Cage don't turn his bones to dust.

As shown with Juggernaut, Null cannot copy magic

at least in some runs of the comic.

Now thats a canon i can get behind.

Yeah the "problem" with Chapter 1 is that Null has no idea how powers work and only knows about things that make it on the news. Which I remind that both Hydra and SHEILD can manipulate the news.

I'll remind everyone that costumed vigilantes are a very recent thing and Null grew up during the debut of most of them with the Avengers and Fantastic Four entering the public view when he was in High School.

Prior to that supers were a thing but only locally and half of them didn't even think they were super.

There should always be a way for the player to use knowledge in place of strength and vice versa, otherwise it's a nonstop kobayashi maru.

Exactly. Null is now more aware of things. He has less knowledge than people who can pick up comic books but he's already learned the lessons that:

A. There are things stronger than him and his primary power only effects mutants.

B. He's stronger than normal humans.

C. His "copied" abilities have limitations.

He's not a heavy hitter like Colossus so he, and by extension you, have to be smart when coming up against foes.

I do want to reemphasize. Null does not have access to comic books telling him everyone's weakness. So just because you know Venom and Carnage are weak to high frequency sounds that doesn't mean Null will know without someone telling him or him noticing it himself.

However, he's learned his lesson with Juggy. Don't make assumptions.

Well that's the other side of the coin, that's a fight he absolutely should have lost. The phoenix snacks on planets.

As others have mentioned, Jean has only recently gotten Phoenix powers and the persona of the Phoenix won't be popping up until like... half way through Chapter 2?

It also exists in multiple planes at once, even while bound to Jean it's still a psychic nexus and can bind to multiple hosts at once.

This is actually false. The other two you mentioned yes. They are present in every universe at once. However the Phoenix is one of those universal constants. Meaning every universe has a Phoenix but it doesn't transcend the universes.

What I think may have you confused is that when Jean and the Phoenix are in perfect sync Jean's telepathy can breach the barrier to another universe. On a smaller scale Rachel's ability let her see her original timeline and she sadly found out that string theory exists.

It also didn't take Null as a serious threat since even if he shut off Jeans powers it wouldn't remove it.

Correct. The Phoenix has no connection to the x-gene.

if it had taken him as a serious threat and went all out from the start it would have won.

And likely killed Jean during the process.

Wait a min guys, has the story progressed so far? I don't remember seeing Phoenix in the game. I'm pretty sure I'm not THAT behind on updates.

We finished Chapter 1's finale a few updates ago. The next 2 major numeral updates (0.9 and 1.0) will be implementing systems and features we want in place before we move onto putting the story of Chapter 2.

No need to worry though. As previews have shown, we're already working on the art and writing for Chapter 2. So the wait in between 1.0 and 1.1 shouldn't take that long depending on how much of the art and writing gets done.

Still no date for 1.1 though

And you won't be getting one other than me confirming that the people worrying about a 2030 release date are being hyperbolic with their worrying.

I don't want Null to be like Ichigo where he has ALL of the powers.

Funny thing is that Ichigo is some fucked up eugenics program of anime races, but his only power is the sword beam.

 

[BigAlzBub]

The Hulk is a mutate, not a mutant.
As I understand it, his transformation was the result of Bruce Banner trying to recreate the super soldier serum and an interaction with Gamma Radiation. If (big IF) Null is copying other mutant powers, then he could copy someone with the X-gene and super strength, but I would expect the Hulk to be off-limits.
Null's best chance for super strength would be Collossus, but so far he only seems to have copied female powers. Wolverine has some level of super strength, so it stands to reason that Laura (being either a clone or his daughter, take your pick) would seem to be his best bet, although with Wolverine/X-23 levels of strength he isn't going to be doing utterly ridiculous things, just very impressive.
