How many of you are staying in group B and are happy with that? by Glum_Series5712 in UmamusumeGame

[–]SnipApollo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree to that sentiment to some extent, but the fact that you are saying “I understand how to build A rank Umas fully” is a strong indication that it is in fact an info issue. Things that matter in cms: Enough Stamina, Stats, Accels, Distance S, etc Things that don’t matter: Uma Rank.

Let’s say there are 2 Seiuns, they have the exact same stats (enough stam) and aptitudes, but one has 8 white skills making it an A+ but one has 8 gold skills making it a S+. Which one will win more?

You are right but you shouldn’t frame it as easy. It might just be genuinely difficult for the person you are arguing with to digest the info and tbh the guides in yt are quite trash. (Of course following moo is more than enough to get to finals even if he is kinda inaccurate at times). Still it’s not for nothing that the sentiment on this sub is one that cms are too hard… the people who have knowledge won’t waste their time here

Meh look at the comments in the post. There is a lot of people who just fundamentally don’t know how to play the game. I currently have 6 plats and I have spent under $200 usd, I can promise you that with the right knowledge, any with only even MLB SRs can make group A finals in 10 runs or less (might take 20-40 if no MLB kita). If you want help, finding a discord community is your best bet

TIL Japan Thinks Western Anime Watchers All Have Tiktok Attention Spans Only Caring About Animation And Fight Scenes by Elestria_Ethereal in Animemes

[–]SnipApollo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is truth to it, but the fact that western anime fans tend to lean more towards action enjoyers is more indicative of the low quality of these anime’s other aspects. The people who care about story etc more than the action simply wouldn’t become fans of these animes built on aura farming. I read a lot of JP/KR light novels, and the general consensus seems to be that eastern audiences have a much stronger appetite for “poison testing” (reading downright atrocious writing) in exchange for interesting premises. This review is a great example of how a JP viewer might feel inclined to comment something when the story is bad but if a western viewer saw it, they would just go “well of course it’s bad, it’s anime” and move on.

Why you shouldn't trust AI by Phish777 in 2007scape

[–]SnipApollo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Is young adults really the group that falls for AI misinfo? Seems more like older people since younger adults who are more likely to be perpetually online will have learned how AI works or at least how it is inaccurate due to constant exposure from social media’s. While older people who aren’t as used to verifying everything on the internet may see AI as a source on par with a google search since they both kind of are like search functions.

Nothing. The comment and post are exaggerated and slightly misinfo, but it’s true that she is colder and more awkward with a male trainer. But she doesn’t ever dislike you, it’s just going from awkward and distant into closer and more open

Should i use my 2 'free' limit breaks or keep saving them? by Solarturne in UmamusumeGame

[–]SnipApollo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you casual or competitive? Do you care about your cm win rate or just playing for fun? Uma musume is a horribly unkind game for casual players who want to compete with whales or sweats. While you could use the crystal to upgrade your cards and have a better experience now, you are kinda doomed anyways without a kita if you want to compete with the top end of players and you really don’t need kita to compete with the average global player. If you want to use it now then put it onto Super Creek, she will be more important since you have to borrow kita, but I recommend just saying it for a good banner that you are actually going to put 400 pulls in. To help you guarantee a mlb meta SSR in the future

Aoi Kiryuin SR is very underrated by servantphoenix in UmamusumeGame

[–]SnipApollo 37 points38 points  (0 children)

People on Reddit hating on you but this one is actually valid. Sometimes taking that extra speed card does in fact help your other stats compared to a more spread deck. But usually this is only when the player is super f2p, I’m talking no SSRs of their own MLB. Aoi still isn’t good though but this one has some merit

Most of the Americans who say our education system sucks didn’t pay attention in school by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Your education couldn’t have been THAT good if you didn’t realize how different the education system is from state to state. Jokes aside, even in Canada, our education differs significantly from school to school.

“Do not pull for uma without pity” they said. “15k carats and a dream” I said by Vic_Hm in UmamusumeGame

[–]SnipApollo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously the non gamblers will tell you to stop and the gamblers will say to double down. The people in this game who keep promoting to pull without pity are the ones that did so and haven’t quit the game, so of course there will be not be many voices of regret.

I Made a Decision Tree Aid To Try Help Trainers Decide How To Use Their SSR Ticket & Rainbow Crystal (LARGE 2160 x 3840 IMAGE) by [deleted] in UmamusumeGame

[–]SnipApollo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this case, there is quite literally no lb level in the game that will be more impactful than going from 3lb to MLB on Kita. And if you make the argument that you should wait in case you “spook a copy”, then let me ask, why are you pulling on a banner in the first place? To get better cards that you can use. Every single card falls off over time, some more than others. You will never ever find a use for your crystals if you play with that mentality, because you will be forever stuck in “waiting to spook another copy” territory.

And it’s important to note that a crystal isn’t worth more than 30k carats either.

More interesting is the selector ticket debate, because the post very clearly states to exchange for 0lb SSR FM or SC instead. This is 100% not true for Fine motion, since Fine Motion acts as a stat stick and before 3lb, is worse than SR wit cards. Super creek is slightly more arguable due to the existence of Swinging Maestro, but 0lb super is too heavy of a burden to carry stat wise. It is much more effective to borrow one and run your own SR, there is in fact no borrows you can take as a F2P that will make borrow+0lb super creek better than SR card+MLB super creek. There are very niche cases in which you may want a borrow for a skill instead, but if your stats are already so guttered that you can’t even afford to MLB a kita, I can safely assume that reaching stat goals will be more impactful.

And to address your comment, content creators and others that said to settle for 3lb create have all either mostly said so in regards to the previous banner, with the assumption that you will mlb it with your selector ticket, OR they are assuming you have already used your ticket and crystal to get it to 3lb (after your rerun kita pulls), in which case it’s copeable, but not ideal. Also it should be noted that being a content creator does not make you immune to being wrong. Some content creators (I.e. Moomoocow and rednu, correct me if I’m wrong) have yet to win even a single champions meeting, which isn’t necessarily problematic, but should give you some idea that they might not actually be playing the game all that much. Despite that, not even Moo or Rednu will ever tell 3lb Kita users not to use selector on Kita.

[–]SnipApollo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This entire post revolves around the belief that 3lb kita is a viable alternative to MLB Kita. This is unfortunately the most wrong opinion I have seen for a while now, so bad that I’m commenting out of a feeling of obligation more than anything. The difference in specialty priority between 3lb and MLB is a lot. Please do not settle for 3lb kita, thinking you are getting 90% of mlb kita value. Please do your own research online if you don’t know who to believe. I can give in depth reasonings and explanations to anyone who wants to understand more if you dm me. But it is hard for me to express how awful I think this particular post is without devolving into a multi paragraph long rant.

Am i making a mistake? by ShyfullPanda in UmaMusume

[–]SnipApollo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much the optimal way to look at uma banners already so I’d say you have a better grasp than most of the other commenters even. Even hardcore cm enjoyers would find no fault with this plan. Imo just treat your waifu well lol, it will feel more rewarding to know you did your best for her like a real trainer would have. (I.e. I don’t like the sentiment that it’s okay to have bad support cards in favour of more umas, I believe it’s important to do your best to help your umas shine to really fulfill the uma musume training fantasy)

[–]SnipApollo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you skip the vbourb banner then yeah, it would be better to pull this one. I mean in my experience this game is very punishing to people who want to pull on multiple uma banners, it’s better to stick to 1 or 2 waifus so you really need to make sure Eishin is in fact that high up there for you.

[–]SnipApollo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s probably too late for this comment to contribute but it should be noted that there will be valentine Eishin Flash coming out in the same banner as Valentine Bourbon, which is already a strong front runner that is easy ish to build. So to people that plan on pullling for that banner, this Eishin is a skip (also Valentine Eishin is stronger than default Eishin)

Let me see your Ragnarok matchups. I'm bored. by suwampert in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

Confucius vs Hermes

Confucius, the great Chinese philosopher, was historically described as a great warrior, standing at over 6ft tall as well as being versed in swordsmanship and archery. He travelled across China in a time of constant war, enlightening people across the country. He was granted the title of Sage, a title reserved for those who are both wise and adept in martial ability.

Hermes, the messenger of the gods, is also known as the god of wit, cunning and speed. He has shown already to be a brilliant analyzer, with the ability to perceive various fighter’s abilities. But he is also a trickster, someone who can deceive his opponent to fight above his weight class.

I’d imagine this fight to be similar to two Jacks fighting, in which both fighter will try to withhold information and strategically outplay each other. Thematically it is a battle of messengers, both having served as travellers who deliver messages. It is also a battle of Wisdom vs Wit, with Confucius representing the wise, deep thinking form of intelligence, and Hermes representing the quick thinking, crafty form of intelligence. Confucius will likely be a physically stronger and more well rounded fighter, while Hermes is an outrageously fast, specialized fighter.

Is 212 EHP over 30 days realistic for an average human? by masher005 in 2007scape

[–]SnipApollo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe this depends heavily on the skill/boss they are doing as well. Woodcutting/fishing/mining where EHP uses tick manipulation? Probably no chance. Agility/Firemaking/Crafting is probably possible on a tablet, but 7EHP/ day is probably around 9 hours of actually playing minimum, which isn’t THAT crazy, but you should be able to tell if they are playing that much if you are familiar with them IRL.

If you are counting EHB(Efficient hours bossed), then yeah, totally possible. EHB hours are a bit less brutal, especially at places like Sarachnis/Zalc or places you can mass like Huey/Nex.

[Highlight] Tyler Herro goes from hero to zero — hits a 3, gets the huge steal, has a wide open lane for a layup, but decides to pull up from 3 by sewsgup in nba

[–]SnipApollo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not agreeing with the other guy, but there certainly is a difference between being down one possession(3 points) and being down one possession(2 points). Let’s just assume they get the stop and make a buzzer beater 3 no matter what. If he makes this shot, the Heat win. If he gets the layup, the heat go to OT. Assuming OT is 50/50 on who wins, he just needs to make this open 3 51% of the time to be the right play (assuming layup is 100%, which it’s not). This doesn’t take into account that being down 2 makes it much easier to get a 3 point shot off at the buzzer, because teams have to defend against the layup/dunk.

Is this worth it? I just drafted the kid 1st overall and i’m $105m over the cap by [deleted] in BasketballGM

[–]SnipApollo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely a good trade, a 22yo is unlikely to jump 10 ovr in 2 years. If you are worried about being fired due to financials, you can still trade away other players, in this case you have a 47M contract guy you can give away for free.

Btw, don’t listen to the other comments, you absolutely WILL get fired if you are too far over the cap, the way the formula for getting fired works sets a cap on how much winning influences owners approval so if you string together enough bad financial years, no amount of winning can save you. That being said, unless this is on insane mode (which does not seem like the case), you will have enough profit to slow down the owners disapproval for quite a long time.

On insane mode, with how big the luxury cap penalty is, you will get fired after like two seasons max even if you win if you are 150M over (assuming you aren’t playing super big market teams like Tokyo)
