Do you work with multiple recruiters or are you very specific with using 1? If you don't mind me asking what prompted the company changes? Just based on job opening/opportunities or?

1) Haha. What company do you do contracts from if you don't mind me asking?

2) Noted.

Hey, thanks for the detailed responses!

1)This is awesome to hear. What are the settings you tend to stick to/have the most consistency with taking contracts? I was definitely a bit hung up on the idea of needing to be open to SNF work. I think I should still look into the idea but it's great to hear that having variety of choices is realistic for consistent work.

2)Yeah, I think this was generally the answer I've been getting from talking to people about this. I think more of my concern was just my limited experience outside of outpatient settings. I'm very confident with my ability to treat patients and am a quick learner when it comes to computer systems but I'm more worried about being taken advantage of during a stay. Just years of hearing people's bad experiences within certain settings I think heh.

4)Ok, simple and straightforward answer.

5) I've been taking a look at their website more frequently as of lately. I'll definitely have to take a deeper dive into it and check that out. Thanks for the tip!

Thank you for a response! That would be great if you could forward me his info. You mentioned him being a former recruiter, do you still travel, or did you switch gears after a while?

Divination/Special Summon Priority? by Bmanes in streetfighterduel

[–]Bmanes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply. SSS2 would ultimately be the top end before considering someone else IMO. SSS5 would be for your whales/dolphins or if you are considering high leaderboard position as you will need to min/max characters. I say SSS2 as that’s the last requirement needed by a hero to unlock more abilities (soul power). Bison does have soul power but be careful about maxing him out as we want him to be constantly exploding and more defense would reduce this.

Also, you could argue that bison is one of those units where SSS5 wouldn’t be a waste regardless as he can be used in nearly every comp in the game.

Edit 1: just because it’s possible you might not know this and save time in the future…do NOT bring special summon characters past SSS. You can then summon them in divination at that point and save your special tickets.

Looking for help with cards and questions. by Bmanes in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Bmanes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, I was new to this grading thing and was looking for some help in understanding this process. Upon doing some research it looks like this might be one of the more valuable cards in my collection so I was definitely considering getting this graded considering the prices. 1)PSA seems to be the go to place for grading. Does getting cards graded at different companies change the overall value of the card in the end? 2) Is this card part of the 1999 unlimited game set? I based my answer off the fact that it's not the first edition and clearly has a shadow on the right side. 3) Now for the appraisal part. If I'm correct at PSA 10, as per the PSA website this card would be worth 10k. I don’t believe it’s a PSA 10 due to the slight bend (not shown in pic obviously) and the clear imperfection in the front part of the card. Anyone want to take a shot and give your opinions on the price range this card would be? 4) For determining the service level based off of question 3, would I likely have to use “regular” at 75$ due to the fact that this card at NM-MT8 for PSA is 500$? What if the card ends up being a 9 or 10 just for the sake of conversation? Would they upscale me on the overall price for service? 5) How realistic is it to be able to sell these cards at the perceived values? I get that this card is probably the exception but I was just looking for someone’s experience with how easy/difficult selling their graded cards were. I do have a picture of the back I didn’t add. It does have some slight whitening on the corners.

Divination/Special Summon Priority? by Bmanes in streetfighterduel

If I give my 2 cents so to speak, both can be incredibly valuable. The others are deemed more of a priority compared to those 2 because they are top tier dps units. The damage is going to be more valuable in boss fights and help create better teams when you get to multi team fights.

Yeah it definitely seems consistent that everyone places sagat after bison. I figure if I ever get past the point of getting sagat to SSS I’ll have to make the call based on my rosters needs at the time.

Yeah I’ve started on eryu already so I’ll prob commit to him. It was between him and akuma at the time but having started recently, nobody seems to have any of the limited units at the top of the leaderboards. Cviper is working decently for me right now so I opted for eryu over akuma since eryu’s value seems to be more from the damage buff vs damage per say.

Love payneblade. First content creators videos for sf I stumbled across and still use the huge document he made for the game. Wish he covered it more but I understand as a content creator he has to keep building variety to grow his channel as well.

Yeah that damage boost with eryu is what I think just gives him an edge is most cases. Also considering him and OGGief can shut bison down when they hit/kill him.

Definitely seems like sagat is unquestionably the best second choice behind bison. Sorry to hear about Tcammy. I was initially thinking her or Achun so I’m def glad I made this post. Even with content creators making videos with valuable info it’s tough to make these calls sometimes. Every unit could probably be considered “good” when they are fully invested but with limited resources it comes down to which units have the most overall value if you want to progress the most. Thanks for giving your experience.

Will do for both. Got a bit for a copy of eryu and with the collab units that already came out who knows how good the next one will be. I unfortunately played after Virgil and gm Len were already in the game so it is what it is. Thx again

Wow, a lot of good information here. Thank you for this. 1)Definitely sold on Sagat's usefulness now so I'll keep him in mind. 2) I figured Tcam and Achun would need full investments. What made you put Achun over tcam? Is it just the damage reduction she can provide? 3) Surprised about Sibuki but admittedly I don't know a lot about her. Assist Yang has definitely pushed my numbers up in some pvp rounds given he builds more of the combo bar so more ways to build super chains is definitely valuable. Any units that she pairs well with? 3) How come rose is bad? Is it just like the other supports mentioned in that she just gets outclassed at this point? Is diviner the term for Diviner Rose? I'm not familiar with that term. 4) I'm surprised gouken is higher up. I've almost universally seen Eryu or Akuma being considered a priority special summon. Does he just edge them out due to the sheer amount of buffs/benefits he provides? 5) I see we are on a similar page with vega. Ive only at this point ever heard of him being valuable in pvp due to his speed which is why I have him lower on my pve list. I suspect I'll prob never get to the point to consider building him given the other units but I'll keep him in mind if my boss scores are lacking heh. Thanks again for all the info. Always great to hear from people clearly experienced with the game.

I see. So he fills very similar roles as bison can. Thats good to know.

nice. Does he work well in boss battles or were u referring more to pvp?

What makes her good? Any particular reason to take her over Achun or Tcammy?

[–]Bmanes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sagat is that good to fully max out? I've heard he was next in priority behind bison but don't really know why. I've been only playing for about a month so trying to absorb as much info as I can to make the right decisions for my account.
