>>37953309I get that, and I don't mean to argue against anything you said, but you reminded me of one thing that's been in my mind since Ultrakill.
Sometimes when Ame beats something tough after she's stubbornly replayed it her own way, a post you sometimes see is that "there is no skill since the game finally gives way to her retarded strategy". Now there are slightly different forms of the post, and I'm not sure of their level of satire, but it's implying that the game is literally changing. And that always greatly confuses me, since the game isn't getting easier. Ame is just honing her retarded strategy closer to perfection, which is a demonstration of increase in skill over time.
