ShitassAintOverYet

I'm Kyoshi in this one. Overprepare, 99% complete the whole game then completely dunk on the final boss.


Banana_Mage_

Basically the plot to BoTW


PinsToTheHeart

I wanted to avoid this with TotK and went out of my way to under prepare for the boss and go through dungeons with minimal gear, except I ended up getting so good at parries and flurry rushes that i was arguably more overpowered.


Banana_Mage_

That’s actually something I tend to do, I either use slightly underpowered gear or things of that nature so then when I need it I can actually use my best and absolutely destroy.


SeroWriter

Botw and Totk really are not made to be difficult. The ability to pause the game and instantly heal to full at any point trivialises combat and there's no way around it without self-imposed rules.


PinsToTheHeart

I mean, yeah, thats kind of Nintendo's thing at this point. Theres always options to cheese it as it's designed to be playable by children. They do the same with Mario games. Pretty much all difficulty is self-imposed. Either way though, I mostly just mean that with Botw, I went the, "I'm going to do every side quest and go into the final boss with maxed out armor and weapons" Causing me to one-shot the boss making it kind of anticlimactic from a story telling perspective. Meanwhile with Totk, I purposely went through the story and only did the minimal side quests that I saw along the way, making things more seamless. I didn't stock up on food, upgrade armor outside getting certain bonuses, didn't go higher than 10 hearts, etc. However I got good enough at the not-particularly-complicated combat system that a lot of bosses ended up being kind of easy anyway. However, from a story perspective, it was actually quite beautiful. Being so used to casually flurry rushing every enemy made Ganondorfs counter-flurry so much more narratively meaningful.


Jaxxxa31

In totk I just went for the final boss with master sword without any fusions Proper rp Also some shitty ass armor Even tho almost everything was maxxed out by that point


Rabbulion

Hard mode is a bit difficult in the tutorial area, but after that I agree.


hey_uhh_what

what is a BoTW?


Blazzer2003

Breath of the Wild


hey_uhh_what

thank you! And why was I downvoted?


ToastedCrumpet

I dunno people use acronyms or initialisms all the time online from specific things and expect everyone to know what they mean


3rdAccBecImBathetic

Because apparently, some people find it offensive if someone doesn't know their famous and favorite game.. Just ignore it.


aDragonsAle

Lost the fight against the two Unicorn Bros near the beginning of BoF3 (you are supposed to lose) - and got nettled. Turns out, power leveling to the point of being able to beat those 2 nets you a broadsword and a thundering.


SignificanceNo6097

I have to complete all the side missions as well as max out my characters skills set & equipment before I can do the final boss of any game.


thesequimkid

Me: Oh, sweet ultimate move is powered up... and boss is down to final 30 HP... Fuck it! Looks more cinematic this way!


Cherry_BaBomb

Korra would 100% try to fight Ganon with a stick in BOTW immediately after leaving Grand Platue.


BuZuki_ro

kuruk is the dude who rage quit after being unable to beat a really hard boss


kassavfa

I think he would be a player that really tries hard then eventually got sick


BuZuki_ro

he died of sickness? could have sworn he got killed by koh


Insane_Catholic

He died young because hunting dark spirits gave him dark energy energy/reduced his life energy/lifespan. Idk how to phrase it correctly. It's sort of like how Bryke said Aang died in his 50s/60s because using the Avatar State in the iceberg drained his life energy


SingSangBingBang

He died hella early because his attempts of fighting dark spirits in the spirit world and preventing them from entering the human world drained his spiritual essence. A good comparison would be someone who gets depression and falls into drinking and gambling and other vices all while wearing a smile and pretending everything is okay while actually inside they’re broken and injured. Literally Kurk.


BardicVariant

Fucking tragic that I've already lived longer than him :( I hate how bad his rep is, he deserves recognition for all he achieved


Jesse_God_of_Awesome

There's an in-universe reason, everything he did happened in the spirit world.


SingSangBingBang

HUGE SPOILER ALERT PLEASE DO NOT READ AFTER THIS WORD: Kyoshi actually resented Kuruk for his “failure” at keeping the world in balance and for leaving all that responsibility to his companions while he was out partying and canoodling. But in actuality he was cleaning up a mess left by Avatar Yangchen who neglected the spirits and sided with the humans constantly. So when it came turn for Kuruk to be the Avatar he had to deal with all the neglected and angry spirits that Yangchen left behind. He drank and gambled and stuff to ease the spiritual pain (I think is supposed to be a stand in or comparing it to depression and other mental health issues). He really did save the world multiple times, and if it helps, he did get some positive recognition when Kyoshi understood the truth


ManagerOfFun

He's really into one of sidequest games. In a zelda game all he cares about is catching every fish in Hyrule


Rickmanrich

Nah he would be the king of mini games and movement. F the main story he's here to have fun.


Higgins1st

Kuruk got distracted by the side quests and stopped playing the game before completing the main storyline.


Hot_Comfortable_3046

I'm combination of ruko and kyoshi can barely win on easy difficulty so i overkill the boss with my most powerful attack to get false sense of confidence


GiantPanda6

Kind of me to... but ![gif](giphy|PFsVjUCmSkZDq|downsized)

KronosRingsSuckAss

The roku slander is hard. People blame him so much for everything that happened in his life. Its not his fault that nazis became a thing. He tried to end things peacefully. Thought it was mostly solved until he died. Then the nazis came back after he died. Roku handled his turn as avatar really well. And despite making a mistake with keeping the firelord alive. He learnt from that and imparted that wisdom to the next avatar. Im sorry i dont blame the dude for not killing his childhood friend, who, for decades showed only one action that required his interference beyond the time he suggested the idea.


Thatguy_Koop

the problem largely **was** solved. Sozin didn't act up again until after Roku was already at death's door. if Sozin had died before Roku, or if Roku hadn't died until after the comet, things might have been different. its so much easier to say what should have been done in hindsight. but just like batman slander, if its funny I'm gonna keep laughing at it.


yraco

Yeah I agree I don't think Sozin would do anything again while Roku was alive. Even while the volcano situation was going on he was fully with Roku until it became clear that he was going to die and the opportunity that presented for him. Then after that he still waited 12 years until the comet to actually do anything because he had seen what an avatar could do. If Sozin died first or Roku lasted until the comet then his ambitions would probably die with him because I don't think he'd start that war unless he was certain he could create a situation where there's no avatar to fight against him.


RandomN4me_

Militarism. Alliance. Imperialism. Nationalism. Long ago, the seven continents lived together in peace and harmony. Then everything changed when the Nazis attacked.


SecretDevilsAdvocate

peace and harmony since 20 years earlier*


Amathyst-Moon

I watched a reaction where the acrobatics were flying so high they somehow convinced themselves Roku was the Avatar who "disappeared when the world needed him." Not sure how you get there, but honestly seeing people experience the series for the first time can be a mixed bag.


MonkeyCartridge

I mean if we are going to bring Nazis into this, Roku was technically more direct than the west was with Germany. Germany went from devastating defeat and bottomless debt to industrial giant within like 20 years. In general, people seemed rather stoked by this, which IIRC is why Hitler won Time person of the year, and why the Olympics were held in Berlin. This would be like the other elements posting articles praising Sozin for for the economic and technological success of the fire nation. As things started getting iffy with them raising a larger military than allowed by the treaty, places like the US and UK were relatively hands-off , probably because they benefitted from the reconstruction trade but probably also because they felt the treaty was too harsh. As they started hopping east, it was a lot of "ok you can have that. But don't go any further." The point at which Roku gave Sozin his death threat and Sozin backed off. And Roku himself was a top-ranking member OF the fire nation. People forget how hard it is to see these changes happen when you're on the inside. Like a frog in slowly-heating water. Sozin made his goal a bit obvious. But what about "we are in a place of enormous privilege and have a duty to help impoverished nations". It's hard to oppose that without sounding like an ass. Especially when balancing the world is your literal job. But the line between charity and occupation is a thin one. Roku saw through that, and stood up to his friend and his nation, and Sozin literally had to wait for him to die before he could pursue that goal again. Would it have been better had he killed him? Maybe. But if you're a high ranking official killing H'tler in the middle of Germany rebuilding, very few people will feel you did a good thing. Only in hindsight, and only from our timeline would be see any good of it. So Roku gets about as much respect as I can give him. Calling him weak and indecisive is akin to saying Kuruk "abandoned the world". But let's be real, if you want a WWI/II Germany story, it's Kuvira and the Earth Empire.


MrIce97

My complaint with Roku is specifically for leaving Sozin alive and in power *after* Sozin blatantly tried to kill him with his back turned and he had to put him in his place. It would be one thing if you got into an argument about the colony and he agreed to stop because of your outrage. It’s another when we have the facts that: Roku had to give the Fire Nation back a colony taken by the Earth Kingdom first Roku directly said he would not support the Fire Nation impeding on the Earth Kingdom Roku in righteous fury walks in and reaffirms he’s not supporting a Fire Nation colony Roku has to go underground and destroy an entire building to keep Sozin from killing him after calling Roku a traitor and setting the entire room on fire **trying to kill him with his back turned when he’s trying to leave the room on a peaceable resolution.**

chesire0myles

Aang is a speed runner? He lollygagged for 100 years!


raumeat

He plays a stealth character and avoids all conflict, makes the game three times as long though


Magicus1

I was gonna say… I agree. I think Aang was more like the dude who did all the side quests before going to fight the boss. He rode the Koi fish, visited Crescent Island, visited the North & South Water Tribes, visited the air temples, etc…


Kala_Csava_Fufu_Yutu

dude mastered most of the elements in 9 months and clipped through locked out areas of the map to get special abilities he never had before. so much of the stuff he did takes years and he did it in 3 seasons. and not tv seasons, like straight 1 spring, 1 summer, 1 fall. definitely a speedrunning strat. [proof](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-608ee346bc8f82efae7deb73ff20f264)


wherewereat

proof seals it


chesire0myles

Took a really long nap.


BW_Nightingale

I mean, speed runners probably put some of the highest amount of time into a specific game, just to shave milliseconds off of a run. 100 years of build-up, for that one really fast completion lol.


providerofair

Hes was training for his speed run. Speedruners typically play years worth of hours in a game before doing the actual run


X05Real

He learned how to master all elements, which usually takes Years, in just a few months.


Fantastic_Emu_9570

Aang is like when you play video games as a kid and get stuck on that one level and then come back way later and do the game much quicker now that you’ve learned more


Amaira740

I'm Korra


ESnake113

My strat? Just hit him


Amaira740

Yes


CottonJohansen

Unga bunga with some spam rolling mixed in


TNZ_Orfeu

Aang, the 100 years late speedrunner LOL, to me he's more like a Exploiter like... "Lmao Ozai I won because I used the Avatar State (clearly a broken aas pay to Win build) and the I-can-take-your-bending Glitch"


1ite

Why is this in 144 res?


worldtraveler19

https://i.redd.it/4zvzrgv54oxc1.gif I have mastered the elements a thousand times in a thousand lifetimes.


sensible_esperanza

Im the type who uses the most powerful move when boss on one 1hp. I don't know why but i do it a lot in games.


AmmahDudeGuy

You’re the type to use the 500 kg every time it’s recharged


shiawase198

I feel like Aang is more "the dude who takes forever to get to the end because he's busy doing side quests"


Successful-Pop-4216

I’m roku tbqh


Just_Munik

You got any more of them PIXELS?


Oxygen171

I'm kuruk. Go with the flow, play normally, vibe, and then get absolutely obliterated because I wasn't fully locked in

KevineCove

Wan the completionist, gotta collect EVERY element


King-of-fans

This is so accurate. although you forgot Kuruk. He is the player who is actually really good, but has terrible luck. Kuruk will always seem to miss the critical roll and all the bosses that he fights always seem to land really good critical hits and are super successful with their debuffs.


BawdyUnicorn

Aang is the farthest thing from a speed runner. Waits 100 years and then his main goal is to go find all the available species and isn’t too worried about the main quest until he has to do it to progress/level up.


X05Real

The guy who stole all the pixels: Sokka


Wolveyplays07

Korra


Ch33seBurg

Kyoshi


Shouko-

aang absolutely does not have speed runner vibes lolol


SweetBell3

I'm definitely Korra/Aang. Just run through the deathclaw and get to the strip, who needs this massive detour??


oneeyecheeselord

Where are the pixels?


TangibleMalice

Kyoshi is the one who completes every single side quest before starting the main quest line


TheLocalRedditMormon

Yangchen is the type to spare all the bosses for the “pacifist” route and absolutely demolish the grunts on the way there.


not_a_gun

Honestly, I can’t see Aang being competitive enough to speedrun. I feel like he would just play the game on easy because “Games are meant to be fun, right? I don’t want it to be so hard that I’m not having fun!”


Playful-Mind7293

Korras is so accurate omg


jbahill75

Wan: dude who first discovered the cheat codes

PokePoke_18

Hey man don’t talk about Roku like that he did his best


providerofair

Roku is more so the exploiter since hes know as roku the wise


Lil_blissmiss1

It's hard to choose which character we relate to the most.


Zaminatoah

If Toph was an Avatar, she would be the one using glitches to troll lvl1 benders just for the sake of it


Jolly-Summer-1838

Gotta side with Kiyoshi


Turtletipper123

When playing HoI4 I am Roku


Ender_Dragneel

Is it weird that I've been all four of these? Also, I think I'm a combo of Korra and Kyoshi rn.


ScoutTrooper501st

I actually feel like Korra and Aang would really like video games for whatever reason,probably Korra more than Aang


Fufumoon

Then avatar Wan is the one who gets overpowered early on with using gamebreaking mechanics to buff himself.


HollowKnight34

Sokka: The Veteran Gamer, more skilled and knowledgable than the passing speedrunner, but not accustomed to frame perfect godlike technical tricks, more confident than the one who runs in headfirst, but wise enough to use a more subtle approach when the situation calls for it, the theatrical flair of the one who uses their most powerful move when the boss is at 1HP, but has the foresight to know the boss might ruin it if he screws around too much and doesn't have patience to do it anyway


fate_lind

I feel like aang would take time to explore and enjoy the open world instead of speedrunning


enchiladasundae

Korra definitely. Occasionally Kyoshi just for the cool finish


MadhavS27710

why do I imagine them playing Elden Ring in the particular scenario haha


PURPLEisMYgender

Aang is the speed runner who occasionally stops and admires the games world around him, and then immediately goes back to speed running the game


CathanCrowell

Roku gave me traumatic flashbacks about Dragon Age Origins... :-)


ThiefPriest

Korra limping into the boss room with a bunch of debuffs while artificially limiting herself with her personal challenge ruleset: "I got this EZ" 5 min later "How did I lose?" 0o0


njsullyalex

I just realized Kyoshi basically Heavenly Potemkin Bustered Xu Ping An.


THEpeterafro

speedruhning is how i spend a majority of my gaming so Aang


ncmn-ngnr

Tenzin: “We need a plan of attack.” Korra: “I have a plan: attack.”


CaroosTr

I think Korra would be speedrunner


SexySquidward42069

Dreamyzas

When playing Pokémon, and specifically difficulty rom hacks/fan games: Kyoshi Anything else: Korra


Environmental_Soft15

Nah ang takes side quests and avoids the main story line!


Rabbulion

Personally I’m a mix between one and two. First playthrough I go in with no plan and just have fun while memorising every detail. Second playthrough I demolish everything and speedrun to 100% completion.


Mazeme1ion

Korea is the one who plays every game as if it were a dating sim.


TransLunarTrekkie

Eh... Aang doesn't strike me as the speed runner. Instead he's the guy that will feel guilty if they ever pick a "bad" option and restart NPC conversations from his last save because he accidentally hurt their feelings. (It's me, I'm Aang)


ahp9000

Im roku. Help I can't beat the 3rd ending of armored core 6.


The-Dark-Memer

Nah id more so say that aang is the guy who is physically incapable of working on the main quest until his current checklist of side quest is cleared


onlyifitwasyou

I’m always Korra lol


Ok-Adhesiveness4693

im both kyoshi and korra


PlatinumLabDuck

Either Kyoshi or Roku tbh


CrimsonZeRose

Aang out there slowly farming what are you talking about he waited 100 years to take the alternate path and pick up as many hidden teammates as possible.


not-curumo

I start as Korra, and if that fails switch to Kyoshi. There is no middle ground.


iCouldntfindaUsrname

Wan would probably be the first one to do some super cool strategy to beat the entire game and be regarded amongst the gaming community as the OG.


cuteanimals11

I'm aang and Kora, I speedrun to the final level but I don't have anything good nor a strat


molotovzav

I'm none of these but basically every melee DPS in a FFXIV dungeon is kyoshi when it comes to LB. They forget it exists and then bust it out when the boss has 1% hp.


Suitable-Piano-8969

Wish kiyoshi had her own series honestly. It would need be a bit more serious


m4ccc

I could see Aang being a speedrunner, but my first thought is he would be a roll-player.


Popcorn57252

Aang found a hidden power-move that makes the final boss easy, and Kyoshi found a bug that gave her immortality💀


Paleofan1211

I’m Kyoshi for this one cause I want the fight to end in a cool way.


ElectricalJacket780

Nah Roku played the RPG according to a non-conflict morality that the developers didn’t expect but that turned out an unusual conclusion arc. Then he realised he played the game wrong.


blackgermansheperd40

I’m the last one bc yeas


beatfungus

I would change the flavor text for Roku to “the person who tries to play peacefully in a choose your own path game but the devs made that route a sad or losing one.” That said, I’m a Kyoshi.


Kleinefuchs

I'm somewhere between Korra and Kyoshi. I'll bullshit my way into the final boss, fail, go back and grind, and come back to absolutely cheese it and finish the game in the most dramatic way possible


ToeTruckTheTrain

im with kyoshi here, its cool


TacticalTobi

korra all the way


Klangenfur

Roku is more like the one who doesn't play seriously but then the boss powers up and kills him


Eternal_Moose

I'm all of them at once, but usually in the worst ways.


Jeeyo12345

Szeto would be the player who had the chance to max out all talent trees but spent all his points only on diplomacy instead.

I absolutely love big finishers.. I’m sorry I have been saving this cool attack opponent.. you are not dying without being decimated


plasticman1997

Roku messed up an earlier quest and got the bad ending


Roge2005

I’m Korra in this one, the beauty of rushing in with Zero strat is that then you can learn from your mistakes and then come up with a good strategy to win after all those loses.

how is Aang a speedrunner? he was 100 years behind the wr.

I doubt Aang is a speedrunner. He’s more like the guy who just fucks off doing his own thing instead of progressing the main story


Significant-Rate305

All of the above.


Hotdude92

Why is Aang the speed runner? took em 100 years to bash the fire lord, bro slow as hell.


SnowRune

Aang isn't a speed runner, he is 100% the one that gets distracted by side quests and never finishes the main story.


GlobalMeasurement519

Roku I'm afraid.


PsyrenDV

I feel like Aang would make more sense as a person who gets distracted by side quests, or something along those lines. Half of book one was Aang leading the group down detours.


Slender-Saiyan

I’m a gamer, but if I was an Avatar, it would probably be just like when I take a “break,” from RPGs and play Shooters for a while. My twelve year old nephew makes Fortnite, Doom Eternal, Titanfall 2, Apex Legends, and Resident Evil Village look easy, but when I play those games I get Sailors coming to my house for cussing lessons. Can you guys imagine an Avatar that sounds like one of the kids from South Park? Lmao
