      Also the last panel isn’t needed.

      Edit: What I mean is that the joke has already landed by the second panel. We see that the character made a dodge move off the lift, we know what will happen next.

      Brevity is the soul of wit.

        Really none of the art is needed, it should just all be stick figures. Artistic expression is pointless after all. 🙄

        I disagree. Seeing the troll character standing there still smiling as if nothing has happened, and the AAAAAAAAH that has completely replaced the trolled character really punctuates it, imo.

      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

              I preferred it. Some people are more used to rapid movement types from a controller more than keyboard and mouse. I do use keyboard and mouse for some games, but for ones with this kinda feel in the way camera and moves work, I prefer controller. Monster Hunter is another I prefer controller on, as is FFXIV. Horizon Zero Dawn also.

              Stuff like Mass Effect, Ark, Enshrouded, Deep rock, helldivers, dark tide are all mouse and keyboard.

              People have different preferences and different muscle memory.

              I think I like Hades more on controller too.

            Pretty sure keyboards use spacebar for roll. Also PC’s can use controllers, and you should if playing a Souls game.

        It’s usually pressed with a move command to make you dodge roll, but if you are stationary it makes you take a step back for whatever reason.

      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.

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

            regardless X on an xbox style controller would be “use item” or switch between twohand on a Nintendo style controller. There is no common controllerscheme where it would be dodge.

                I mean, I am too. The joke doesn’t make sense as it’s written, but it would if there’s a different game that uses X to backstep.

                  There are TONS of games that use X as a dodge button. Just because the big game dev, fromsoft, use another button for roll, doesn’t mean no game does. The joke isn’t about what button you press, it’s about getting someone to press literally any button that would mess them up in a normally safe situation.

                Tbf, I thought the exact same thing. B/O would be the right input for dodge/backstep in all From’s Souls games, including Bloodborne and Elden Ring.

                These people are clearly incapable of separating the joke from reality. Who cares what button is being pressed. The joke is the same even if you put some hieroglyphics in place of it.

            Be it PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo, the right-most face button is the only one that is not X on any of them.

              But what if I’m using a GameCube controller? Eh? What then?

              Of course then I can’t use a shield, so I’m dead long before I get a chance to roll off anything.

                I think controller is only ‘necessary’ for souls games due to them not supporting keyboard and mouse well. I’d prefer to use keyboard for it, but all of the inputs and menu-ing is fucked up.

                Tbh, its a testament to how good the games are, that they are enjoyable despite a huge lack of QoL across the board

        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.

        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.
