Back again with Blaze Black 2 Redux 1.4 in Hardcore Nuzlocke in Normal mode. Do I have Stockholm Syndrome with this game? I’m not sure anymore.
I’ve reached Driftveil City, beaten Clay, explored till Chargestone cave and now preparing to enter the PWT event. Though I doubt I’ll survive long. Luck has been merciless: good encounters with terrible natures, good natures paired with awful IVs (looking at you, Elekid with -Def 0IVs), and AI unpredictability. Flinches and status conditions strike when least expected, ruining your plans. Boss movesets and AI move selection often diverge from documentation and calculators. For e.g. Elesa's Lanturn had Illuminate as ability in calculator but documentation had Water Absorb. Random trainer in Clay's Tunnel had Sturdy Onix but documentation said Weak Armor.
Post-Burgh grinding was agonizing. I hacked in infinite rare candies to get around this, only to realize PWT trainers wield Chansey/Blissey. Loss of Dewott, Blastoise, Medicham, Stoutland, and Rhydon was agonizing. I thought of quitting when they fainted.
Top most is current party, mid one is death box and last one is current box.
Starting was fun, but I feel drained now as it requires too much effort. Let's see what happens.
