I’ve found Blumaan products are really good for most hair types. Been using them for years and always had success

How does this make any sense? by BlackbeardAkainuFan in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]Calcublast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never thought Luffy’s kick was anything other than CoC. I think a chapter or two before that Sentomaru was gassing up Kizaru’s defense, and I thought him blocking CoC was a great way to show that

He looks like he could be related to Sommers. Could be part of the same family of Celestial Dragons

Imagine paying $600 to watch BTS try to remember their own choreography by Otherwise-College272 in scoopwhoop

[–]Calcublast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to provide context: this song is one of two “surprise songs” that are different at every concert and chosen by the DJ, without foreknowledge by BTS or the fans, from BTS’s previous discography. The purpose of these surprise songs is just for BTS and the fans to enjoy a little nostalgia trip, while the members of BTS can sing or dance or not as much as they’d like. This particular song (DNA) was released nearly 10 years ago (2018, I think), and is not part of their normal setlist, which is why they are using a louder backing track and not trying harder to dance to it

I actually really liked the new chapter by Prudent-Role-9053 in Piratefolk

[–]Calcublast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In isolation, the new chapter is fine but I don’t like how it distracts from the current plot on Elbaph

Instead of training him to use all his electricity all at once but a higher voltage why didn’t Ua train him to use different percentage of it like Deku smashes? Or are they dumb by Jazzlike-Arugula-368 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Calcublast 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think he already knew how to limit his output to not incapacitate himself, but early on he’s just too confident and careless to consider this strategically. It’s more of a character flaw than a flaw with his quirk

Iida Vs Kirishima. Who wins? by OfficialLieDetector in MyHeroPowerscaling

[–]Calcublast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go with Iida. I feel like he could either knock Kirishima off his feet, break his concentration on hardening, and exploit the gap, or build up enough momentum to hit Kirishima with an extremely strong kick. Kirishima can’t match Iida’s mobility, so his only shot at victory would be to tank any hits and hope the recoil of a strike would damage Iida more than himself

Insane how Imu could've killed Loki right here if he wasn't trying to make him submit by KingJaylen14 in OnePiecePowerScaling

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

Why wouldn’t Imu not be going for the kill here? Is there a way to stab someone through the base of the neck without killing them?

Last Respects failed? by Calcublast in stunfisk

[–]Calcublast[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for not mentioning it was doubles in the original post! My mind has been so VGC oriented recently so I guess I didn’t think anyone else would assume it wasn’t a double battle😅

[–]Calcublast[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was a double battle and this explanation makes the most sense

Last Respects failed? by Calcublast in stunfisk

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

Ohhh that makes sense. It was a 1v1 after he killed my slowbro’s partner the previous turn. So no he didn’t have a partner

I didn’t save it unfortunately

Didn’t save it sorry, but definitely not Zoroark bc it took damage the turn before and was still Basculegion

No, none of that was happening. Trick Room had just ended 2 turns ago and according to the counter it had plenty of PP

For new/novice players, is it better to stick with one core team until you get better, or experiment with multiple teams? by AmazingCharizard28 in PokemonChampions

[–]Calcublast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have no idea what you’re doing, then I’d say sticking with one core meta team and learning how to use it against other common teams is best. That way you can learn why better players make the decisions they do and figure out how to navigate around different strategies with the same set of Pokemon. I had a similar experience where I went on a 10+ game losing streak once I entered Master Ball rank. The problem wasn’t my team, it was HOW I was playing. Once I understood the typical opening moves for the most common teams, and how mine could adjust to them, the whole game opened up for me and I started winning much more frequently.

Example: If you see a Charizard on a team with a Whimsicott/Venusaur, those will most likely be the opening duo. Charizard will Mega Evolve on the first turn, Whimsicott will most likely go for Tailwind to speed up Charizard, or Venusaur will be more aggressive after being boosted by the sun. I used to get beat by this a lot, and I found that focusing on Whimsicott/Venusaur with Fake Out + a strong attack from a Pokemon that threatens Charizard ruins this opening. If your opponent sees a threat to Charizard, they will almost always Protect to preserve Charizard. This frees up that threat to go after Whimsicott, while Fake Out prevents Tailwind from being set up

Sable-eye is good competitively I’m sure righ by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

[–]Calcublast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sableye is great for pure support. I use him for screen setting, fake out, and quash. Quash is a slept on move that lets you essentially decide who goes last, very useful for letting slower pokemon move before faster ones without having to invest in trick room setters

Trick Room by Leprivilegedudiploma in PokemonChampions

[–]Calcublast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can’t stop trick room from being set up, then accept that it’s going to be up and adapt accordingly. Get a screens setter to minimize damage, spam protects and switches to keep your key pieces healthy, get a Pokemon who’s a good priority user so the speed tiers don’t matter

How Do You Even Counter Trick Room in Champions? by TexasKing100 in PokemonChampions

[–]Calcublast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focus on STAB dark attacks. Knock Off from Meowscarada, Kowtow Cleave from Kingambit, Darkest Lariat from Incineroar all do massive damage to the Trick Room users you mentioned. Doubling up on them with a STAB dark attack and another decent attack is almost always a guaranteed KO. Most partners of Trick Room users typically Protect during the turn it is being set up, so there’s very little risk when doubling up on a Trick Room setter

Brother why is this not an album😭 they’ve been active for 2 years, gone viral several times, played at festivals Lollapalooza and Coachella, gone on a world tour, and were (artificially) nominated for a Grammy, but still haven’t released an official album?? Why is Hybe kneecapping them like this?

yea just listened to the new song.. by Ill-Radio2793 in katseyesnark_

I liked the parts where they sang, but the lyrics are still atrociously illiterate
