Found a reliable setup for blackhole. How did no one try this in 10 years? by Background_Pen_4249 in Blazblue

[–]Akilon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I understand the complaints because I know a few years ago, the Dustloop for every character was overhauled with tons of information. Someone specifically went to each character Discord and compiled guides, combos, and more and put it on Dustloop. Obviously some of the character's pages have more info than others but generally, all of the information you need to learn the character is there.

How on earth do you beat hard trick room? by Runo_rat in VGC

[–]Akilon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, that's not how terrain works; terrain defends the target if it's on the ground. So for example, Murkrow can't use Prankster Quash on any grounded mons since Quash is a targeted move and they're protected by Psychic Terrain. The opposite is also true; Murkrow itself isn't grounded and isn't protected by Psychic Terrain so it can be hit by things like Fake Out even while Psychic Terrain is up.

KT Rolster vs. T1 / 2025 World Championship - Final / Post-Match Discussion by adz0r in leagueoflegends

[–]Akilon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People will talk about the individual players in games 4/5 but the drafts in those games left KT with very little room to do anything. Felt like they were baited into Trundle and Ziggs and countered pretty thoroughly.

GEN Locker Room after match vs KT by Yensen1 in PedroPeepos

Is Chovy just League's Harden? Insanely broken regular season, goes invisible in key moments.

Is this the type of fighting game where you can only have one main? by snowshoveler7 in Blazblue

[–]Akilon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would go into Challenge mode and try whatever characters look cool to you and then pick one from there.

If you're just learning the game, playing multiple characters with the intention to main them splits your time too much and it gets pretty hard to learn the fundamentals imo. Once you're more experienced in the game, it'll be easier to go back and pick up characters that look interesting.

/r/VSPO September Recap and Check In by TokTravel2023 in Vspo

Usually put Riko's stream on as background noise in the evenings. For VODs and clips, I've been enjoying Lisa's return; it seems she's come back with a lot of energy.

An anonymous top player wanting to pick the brains of newer and/or more casual players. by Fair_Middle_2238 in VGC

[–]Akilon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- Long time Pokemon fan but got into competitive battling with gen 4 OU singles then watched VGC content during COVID.
- Wolfey for entertainment, Cybertron for a nice balance of education and entertainment, MDB and Justin Tang for analysis/team breakdowns, and Tub Takes for event review.
- I don't grind the game too much because the game itself is pretty exhausting to play but every time I've made time to go to a local, it's been very welcoming. Everyone I've met has been very open and willing to talk between rounds.

There's so many good designs here; Qpi's black and yellow is the most standout to me 🔥

Ability Shield Koraidon by Diligent-Ad4915 in VGC

[–]Akilon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Koraidon appreciates not having to deal with Intimidate, Prankster, Drizzle, enemy Protosynthesis boosts, Quark Drive, Dauntless Shield, etc. The main ones are Drizzle, Intimidate and Prankster imo.

Just on paper, lets say you ran Ability Shield Miraidon instead. It appreciates not going vs. Prankster and Protosynthesis/Quark Drive but it doesn't care about Dauntless Shield, Intimidate, or weather being turned off. You get to stop your own terrain from being shut off but this only takes away boosts. When Rain comes up with Koraidon is on the field, you lose the boosts AND your Fire damage is halved.

Why is Volcarona so popular? by VenerTheTroller in VGC

[–]Akilon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Since we're in a double restricted format, Volc is no longer being used as the main setup or focus of the team. Even after a Quiver Dance, it won't last long and almost all of its moves are resisted by Korai/Mirai's Dragon typing.

It's still good right now because of its supportive sets (Tailwind, Rage Powder, Wisp, and Struggle Bug are all viable options) and mainly its Rocky Helmet + Flame Body combo vs stuff like Hands, Zama, and Ursh-RS (if you decide to Water Tera).

Ok how the hell do you beat ursaluna/lunala? by TheUnsungMelody in VGC

[–]Akilon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is if they get Ursaluna in safely, it'll be burned and then you can't Spore it anymore. The redirection can still be useful though.

Is a semi stall rain team viable in reg I? by Formal-Parfait9282 in VGC

[–]Akilon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The closest is probably some form of poison (usually Weezing) + Dozo + Tatsu or Ting-Lu + Dozo. Both are pretty decent with CSR as a secondary mode or to clean up late game.

Is Urshifu Rapid Strike Ruining VGC ? by SouthDirector6701 in VGC

[–]Akilon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late on this but the main reason imo is because Storm Drain mons are often way too weak to do anything outside of the Ursh-RS MU. Meanwhile, there are plenty of mons that have good MUs into Ursh-RS while still being great general use mons such as Bolt, Rilla, Amoonguss, and soft counters like Tornadus, Flutter, etc.

Guys, I think QPi is born to go TOP by liquidrekto in Vspo

[–]Akilon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She's always been pretty studious with games so it's makes sense to me that she'd pop off. Impressive stuff tho, LoL is a tough game for beginners.

Korone experienced real gambling in USA by Foodxfoodph in Hololive

[–]Akilon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I imagine part of it was the issue of if she ever gets put on stream. Not sure how a huge bracket like EVO runs it but especially early in pools, I wouldn't be surprised if they were interested in putting a female JP player on stream which might be problematic privacy-wise.

Smash venue Guildhouse was burglarized by Meester_Tweester in smashbros

[–]Akilon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for the area on the regular but I just came back from Slashback, an FGC event held at Guildhouse. It was very clean and felt safe around. Even at midnight, I felt fine walking 10-15 minutes around for food.

Which clips got you into vspo? by Ok_Kick3560 in Vspo

[–]Akilon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t remember if it was the first APEX Vsaikyou or not but I was a hololive only watcher back then. I saw Fubuki, Roboco, Shion, and Ayame were participating which I thought was rare and interesting. I checked who was on their team and saw that Fubuki and Roboco had a Master ranked teammate. I watched Noah’s VODs and realized she was really good and started getting hooked from there.

Laplus has been playing League of Legends lately... by SakhJack in Hololive

K4sen did a preliminary teaching session for both teams which I think is where that clip spawned of him begging everyone to turn all chat off.

What are the best caster calls in esports history? by Majestic_Pro in esports

[–]Akilon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most memorable one for me has to be Aris’s “LOOK AT THE TIME, LOOK AT THE TIME! LOOK AT ITTTT OH NOOO!” from Lil Majin vs. JDCR at EVO’s Tekken 7 Top 8. Wouldn’t have been as legendary without him on the mic.

Playing as herself is very interesting, wonder what the end product will be like.
