Standing Snipe Myths

[Altiea]

I don't know why they never just improved it to work like it does in Nova (basically how it always should have worked).

A real-time bonus that makes damage packets (mid-PA) get increased damage if you aren't moving with directional keys/buttons/stick. It can't be that hard, it just has to check your character's state (moving or not) rather than checking coordinates every second. Hell, it'd probably noticeably reduce their server load!

Wait, it works like this in Nova? I always thought I didn't really need SS because I mained TMGs and spammed Reverse Tap > Dancing Sweep all the time (plus my Grid was full from stuffing percent damage bonuses like TAJA and Combo Skills into it).

When you think about it, it most likely works like this because PSO2's system doesn't work in Nova; Gigantest move around too much, so using PSO2's system would mean that you would basically never get SS.
