question about combos

[Valen]

So, they are a replacement for the battle regimen system?

Agree, Kiote. The way Bayohne wrote it makes me understand that the new combos are in fact a replacement for the battle regimen. If he is "stamping out" the "misconception" that "the self-combos AREN'T a replacement", it means they are indeed a replacement.

I do believe he meant the opposite though, as stated by his "entirely new system" affirmative.

Yours sincerely,
Valen

In standard written English, when two negatives are used in one sentence, the negatives are understood to cancel one another and produce a weakened affirmative. However, in many dialects, the second negative is employed as an intensifier and should be understood as strengthening the negation rather than removing it.

Unfortunately the last statement, "It would be best if you could look at them as an entirely new system." does not entirely clear up the confusion as an "entirely new system" can still be a replacement for the old system or it could be an entirely new system alongside the entirely new system that replaces the old one.

"It's a separate system" may have been a better choice if it is indeed an entirely new system. ;>P

You may technically be correct in pointing out some less than ideal phrasing, but by referring to the self combos not being a replacement for the battle regimen system as a 'fact', Bayohne implies that it cannot be the 'misconception' mentioned.

I wasn't trying to point out bad phrasing, i want him to reconfirm in real Words what he means.

What he said literally means that the Combo system IS a replacement for Battle regimes.

Did you even read the second sentence in that paragraph lol? If you read the whole paragraph you would clearly see that it stated "To view this as an entirely new system". So to even ask if this is a replacement just shows poor reading comprehension because you didn't even bother to read the whole paragraph before asking your question.

He just said that this is not a replacement for the Battle Regimen, this is something extra on the side.
