Is the character in the right saying the white-lettered words?

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.

Centurri’s style is heavily influenced by manga so it’s probably intended to be read right to left.

Even then it doesn’t work great. You can only guess wo says what because of the context.

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

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.

Why X isn’t dodge usually B/o?

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.

Because the person who posted the comic said it’s a direct reference to ds3 (not the comic artist, mind you, just the poster here) it must absolutely be ds3, and nothing else.

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

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.
