Monster Review: Kecha Wacha

This guy is one of my first memories with Monster Hunter, and by god is that gonna skew my results! I always found Kecha Wacha to be a lively, exciting animal, and it really makes low rank in 4u stand out. This is a monster that really feels like a common animal, like something that a regular person would just see in the distance. Plus the first cutscene makes him look so goofy, and it still doesn’t feel less threatening for it, which is kinda impressive tbh.

4U (IG): So Kecha has a really unique movement system, especially in netted areas. This makes him a really different kind of fight from most others up to this point, and that definitely adds to the excitement in this fight. Maneuvering around some swiping attacks while Kecha’s swinging can sometimes be a bit of a challenge due to how fast they are, but overall don’t pose much threat if you’re cautious about them. The flips from hanging can really pack a punch, and I think it adds a good deal of character to this monster, makes him feel kinda all over the place. As one of the few water element monsters in the game, Kecha Wacha can also lob blight-inducing mucus globs from his snoot. It’s definitely an interesting attack, but honestly not the biggest deal because at long distance you have so much space to dodge and in melee you can’t really even be hit. The last big thing about Kecha (until we starting talking enrage) is his swooping attacks, which pose the most danger when you’ve retreated to use an item or when you’re right up next to him. The hit boxes on these always feel a bit bigger than they should be, but more often than not were still easy to dodge (I have some really nice kills from swatting Kechas out of the air during this). There’s also however a pretty big difference between regular and enraged Kecha. Seeing the ears fold over his face and form a mask was pretty damn cool the first time I saw it, and the increased aggression really sold the “rage” part of enraged. The circle slamming and quick, repeated forward swipes made it feel like a wild animal lashing out more than any other fight in this game really does. Unlike the hanging twist attack Kecha uses while climbing, the repeated turn and slam attack is however really easy to work around, and usually becomes a free attack opportunity more than anything.

GU (Various): This fight’s very similar to the original 4U fight, but being high rank exclusive was honestly kinda shocking, although not under appreciated. The big difference here is how this fight works with hunter arts, and I must say that movement-based arts provide a huge bonus and almost trivialize this fight sometimes, but slower, heavy-damage ones get pretty hard countered by the spastic movement patterns Kecha throws out constantly. Styles like Striker and Aerial usually fare pretty well, where Alchemy sometimes has issues trying to use the barrel without extreme retreats, and until you really practice the fight, Adept and Valor can be shockingly difficult.

Rating: 9.7/10

This monkey fight like a sugar-hopped 8 year old and can hit like a gorilla.

Ash Kecha Wacha:

This is what I’m talking about! Now in large part Ash is just a reskinned element-swap but it still hits so different for me. The extra flips it brings to the fight and the generally more threatening colors also make this such a strangely good subspecies. Plus farming the 10 star quest is a good way to farm frenzy crystals, so there’s that too.

4U (IG): So aside from the obvious speed, health, and damage increase, this Kecha also spends a lot more time in the air, which isn’t much an issue for me since I use THE aerial weapon. Hovering the air for close range fire blasts and flipping into and tumbling out of dives faster than ever before, Ashbos very good a mobility, and generally feels more controlled than the base species. There’s not much more to say about the enraged form that hasn’t been said already but really? Bouncing on purple sharpness? Are his ears really that strong? Ash is overall a much more challenging and rewarding fight than the regular species, and specializing into aerial combat was a neat choice!

Rating: 10/10

4th gen subspecies stay winning!

no it was more like three months. but tubbo was talking to ash and hanging out with him a lot since the summer before and ranboo had a complex about it. hence he famously played 'traitor' on repeat all night one time ash stayed over, which then lead to tubbo unfollowing him on spotify

WHAT 😭😭😭😭😭 idk shit about beeduo lore i need more context immediately lmao was he staying together with them? when was this? how quickly tubbo unfollowed him? omg????

no ranboo was back in america. this was in january just after ashbo started dating and ranboo had his mental health break. tubbo had been talking about his 'irl friend' coming to stay when beeduo were both on guqqie's subathon together. this made ranboo a little more unstable and he did the traitor thing. i misremembered my lore for a moment and he didn't unfollow that night, but it was the night he followed ash on spotify which was a big deal. he unfollowed ranboo after another incident when he kept playing his beeduo playlists

[enneamage]

so, any thoughts about the ashbo breakup and whether a certain level of avoidant attachment style is common among 9s?

Well, I gave it a google and it’s looking like we’re back in the uncanny valley, this looks really familiar.

Since Sixes and Nines find it very difficult to say what is actually on their minds (and what they really want for themselves), there is a great tendency in this relationship to clam up, to be silently stubborn and defensive, and to make the other person guess what is going on. If there is little motive to do so, the two parties will fall into a stalemate that keeps the other at arm's distance, yet close enough so that the other will not drift away. They may also begin to have health problems or other nonspecific complaints about themselves that seeks to bind the couple in cords of concern and guilt. Psychological or physical problems help to ensure that the other person will continue to be there. Moreover, while these two types fulfill social roles very well, they both tend to disappear in their roles too completely for their own good. Sixes are frequently burdened by guilt feelings and doggedly do whatever they think they must do to keep their job or their security in place. They try to make sure that they have covered the bases so that no one will be angry at them for failing in their responsibility. Nines also fulfill roles, but these usually have to do with mediating between people to keep them together in some way. They accommodate themselves and go along with what others need even as their own stress grows. Another potential problem is that both types love the familiar and dislike change. The feeling is that familiarity equals security, which is reinforced by the conviction that they must not rock the boat. Both types will tend to put off confrontations until they are pushed to the limit, although Sixes have a shorter fuse concerning their anger. They will either give up on the Nine, or there will be an explosion in which a backlog of pent up hostilities will be said, often to the permanent damage of the relationship.

At this point in his life it’s safe to say that Tubbo is unusually “good” at freezing out and dancing around negative emotions, just from watching his behavior. His instincts tell him to dig his heels in and then any push to the contrary just sends him down further, creating a spiral. It’s really going to take him willfully and consciously deciding to change if he wants things to be different from now on.

His (ex)boyfriend is a real shot in the dark, if it weren’t for being able to ballpark his type I would know next to nothing about him, but it sounds like things played out quite like the above, especially with the blog post out there.

I think at “unhealthy” levels Nines have a unique blend of dependency and avoidance that will vary depending on the situation. Tubbo leaning more avoidant under stress rings true from what we’ve seen, but he can also enmesh with people more than the average avoidant. I wouldn’t call Nines as a whole avoidant in the classic attachment style sense, but I would say that they can avoid certain thoughts or feelings to a pretty extreme degree in order to keep themselves “Safe,” and that can look like leaning into people as easily as it can look like leaning away from people depending on the situation and where the “problem” is.

id say maybe by interacting w other truther blogs but yours is like the only one I know that's active rn 😭

i know it’s so sad here 🙃 there used to be so many active truthing blogs for tubbo but most deactivated last year a few months after ashbo

[brett-is-afraid]

Not a question but I just wanted to let you know that Ash is trans so the smut was very incorrect 😭🫣

Um. Actually, anon. I have insider knowledge and know for a fact Ash has a massive cock. /j

Ash should know that keeping this on the down low was the best course of action when people started making NSFW art and fics of ashbo and main was talking about it publicly after it was leaked. Like bro, y’all went out together and still had dates and went to events, you don’t have to tell the whole ass internet full of freaks and people wanting to rip tubbo apart for anything and have your social info about your dating life. I think that’s a very reasonable thing

yeah no i'm super surprised that he directly mentioned tubbo in his post when he KNOWS that people in the mcyt space follow him. i think it's also interesting how ash said that he didn't want to be super secretive cause that brings up all kinds of questions about his motivations in the relationship as well as a pretty clear message that he didn't really comprehend the potential threats to his safety had they been more public. part of me wonders if that was a thing on tubbo's side which made him pull away more

[tabootubbo]

Aimsey wingmaning for tubbo oooh im getting ashbo flashbacks... They used to casually talk about ash early days of the first subathon

i actually don't think aimsey's ever really been a wingman. they've been caught up in tubbo's love life but it's usually by accident, and towards the end when everything's going to shit. the original close friendship with tubbo coincided with beeduo being on the rocks, with ash they made some effort to meet him but they were limited by ranboo's emotional dependence on them. i don't think aimsey liked ash much either. and now, well i don't think they're an evil lesbian who'd try and help someone date a man when they might have a girlfriend

[lzstarrr]

🤔🤔..

yes coy obviously really wanted to hang with him and it was incredibly one sided. how would they be in a ldr when they cant even sync up their schedules like at all and dont take the time to hang much since they no longer in person. genuinely how do you look at the both of them and think they can do a ldr. irrc thats part of why ashbo fell apart as well and that wasnt even that far comparatively

i never said they would b perfect tg in a relationship. obvs they both have their own major issues and them not seeing each other on mc is both of their faults. i can def see them having a rlly nasty breakup if neither compromise or put in the effort

[suchafuckingriot]

tommy is an attention whore and tubbo is his best friend/favorite person ever, he has attachment issues blah blah blah clingys relationship ebbs and flows and every time they’re apart for long enough tommy goes crazy and starts pulling exactly this kind of shit (ashbo, tubbathon, when tubbo went to america, list goes on).

coytober just happened and purgatory was off the back of it, tommy is jealous and possessive and just misses tubbo, the marriage bit is revived, whatever they went and had dinner together and probably talked about minecraft pvp

ok i was gonna say anons are being insufferable let’s not forget everything we know about clingy

[brett-is-afraid]

speaking of ashbo did u see the picture tubbo posted like, yesterday, that has him in it?? also he said "friend" (with quotation marks) to his offline chat referring to ash, like 👀

This ask sent like three times lmao but I think I have! I'm not certain, though I saw something on my Twitter

[kindred-is-obsessed]

I just found out about """ashbo""" shippers and I feel genuinely sick to my stomach. I knew there was a lot of concerning IRL shipping amongst dsmp enjoyers but HOLY fuck dragging someone who isn't even a content creator and who has never been seen before is insane and I don't use that word fucking lightly. Every time Tubbo has mentioned the person he's been dating he's been deliberately vague or has accidently leaked something. Man does not want y'all to know! And yet there are people sleuthing around for all the info they can get, writing fucking timelines, doing in-depth analysis of fucking breadcrumbs, writing NSFW FANFIC. You have been told MULTIPLE TIMES BY THESE CREATORS THAT THEY SEE THE SHIT YOU POST especially on Twitter where the algorithm shoves it in their faces! Genuinely if you engage in this behaviour you need HELP. It's not healthy for you and it's fucking terrifying for CCs to have their private lives treated like an ARG. When will you be satisfyed with the amount of information you have on these teenage strangers' lives?? Can you imagine the psychological impact of having thousands of people's input on your personal relationships AT EIGHTEEN!!!! And I know y'all have been doing this since they were minors. I don't care if you're their age it's fucking messed up to be publicly hypothesizing about the details of the sex and love lives of strangers! Some people out there spend so much time falling down this hole and yet don't seem to spend any time trying to empathise with these creators who have told them multiple times to stop shipping them with their other teenaged friends!

And I thought I was getting dangerously obsessive with my special interest in these streamers! I guess this also doubles as my announcement that I'm going to be forcing myself to de-dsmp my internet spaces to try and nip this thing in the bud in the hopes that I can have a healthy relationship with these people's content and not have to stop watching them entirely so apologies if I unfollow you. It's not personal. I'm forcing my new hyperfixation to be treating CCs like human strangers (I'm not saying it's easy fellow autism havers, it's fucking necessary for your mental health)

I hope this post can be a wakeup call to someone out there but I know a lot of people are just gonna yell at me about. Genuinely scared to be honest, considering how they're all doxxers but this needs to be said more often. If you get upset at me for telling you to treat strangers like they're human I'm insta blocking you.

Watch "basically I'm gay" and other video essays from creators about the shit this kind of "fan" culture does to them

Get counselling, make friends who aren't also in this weird cult with you, get IRL hobbies, etc.

You can leave this behind you
