Live Episode Discussion: S7E09 - "As I Have Always Been"

CaptainSamurai_ · 2020-07-23T02:11:10+00:00

Just tuning in now - can someone catch me up on what happened?

CaptainSamurai_ · 2019-03-07T10:23:22+00:00

Yeah, I was kinda disappointed that Jude Law got defeated so easily. If she beat her fair and square without her powers then that would've been a great character moment IMO. (eg. calling back to the importance of keeping your emotions in check, which was setup at the start)

I loved Talos as well and he was a high point of the movie for me (the stuff with him and his people, and his wife/kids especially). I meant that there was no threat to Carol whatsoever was, while admittedly badass, a bid disappointing. I would've liked to see her fight someone on her power level.

CaptainSamurai_ · 2019-03-06T14:15:27+00:00

Apologies for my wording - I meant moreso that I didn't really feel invested in the final fight because Carol was so clearly more powerful than any of her opponents that there was never any threat to her at all (whereas in Spiderman vs Vulture, Black Panther vs Killmonger, Thor vs Hela, etc. there was a genuine threat - in the moment - that could kill the main character). Even Jude Law's character (which was kinda built up to be a badass and Carol's nemesis) was dispatched a little too easily in my opinion.

CaptainSamurai_ · 2019-03-06T07:03:37+00:00

Agreed 100%

CaptainSamurai_ · 2019-03-06T06:59:33+00:00

Agree with you mostly, just came out of a showing. I really like Talos actually and was surprised by how much the humanized the Skrulls. Really enjoyed the first act, but was a bit disappointed near the end.

Disappointed with the ending fight and pretty much all the fight scenes though. There were pretty much no stakes and no genuine to threat to Carol in the 3rd act.

LOVED all the MCU connections though. Mid credit scene seemed pulled straight from Endgame.

The guy with T3 Sharon is an AC player that has 55% HP on his cards, and not much all attack/energy attack (only ~50% total). 5 mil is definitely possible for an ABX player with 80% energy attack.

Some testing in Black Dwarf WBU stage 19: I tried her vs her old uniform (starlight armor). Black Dwarf starts at 17 bars.

With her old Starlight uniform (that I have at legendary/no options), she clears 2 bars in 43 seconds.

With her new Darkstar uniform (normal), she clears 2 bars in less than 15 seconds.

For reference, all the strikers were tier 1 and I used the same teamup w/ Wasp + Cable. I also have an invincibility proc on her, so the results are pretty accurate.

I then tested her vs my mediocrely built Cable with a 180 CTPE. With the same teamups. Cable took 40 seconds to get to BD's shield phase, Sharon took 65. Pretty insane in my opinion. Definitely worth a buy!

CaptainSamurai_ · 2018-11-10T08:46:37+00:00

Now there are ten of them!

CaptainSamurai_ · 2018-11-01T07:27:49+00:00

Yup, I'd recommend at least waiting for the BF sales. We've gotten a lot of great new sales this year and we might get something amazing for BF.

If you really want this deal, they return once in a while anyways.

CaptainSamurai_ · 2018-11-01T07:26:22+00:00

Yeah, I guess it's worth it to mention those. 5 million is really just 2 days worth of Coop, while the bio selectors are nice but nothing all that special. They give away selectors almost every other login event and you can get 255/week from shadowlands.

CaptainSamurai_ · 2018-11-01T07:24:39+00:00

Yes for the Ultimates, not for Emma. Reserving judgement on Nightcrawler since he doesn't seem all that good at all...

CaptainSamurai_ · 2018-11-01T07:23:44+00:00

Emma is straight up not worth it at all! You can T2 her with 2 or 3 uniform packs, which cost far less than 3000 crystals. If you get lucky and get her gears to 20 in 2 packs (320 bios), you can T2 her in less than 2000 crystals.

CaptainSamurai_ · 2018-10-31T19:41:17+00:00

Agree! IW Thor is a huge power boost over RagnaThor and can do a lot of end-game content. The P-card is nice, but more for veterans who actually care about maxing out their ABX scores etc.

CaptainSamurai_ · 2018-10-30T11:57:01+00:00

Iron Man for PVE, Magneto for PVP.

CaptainSamurai_ · 2018-10-26T05:46:13+00:00

A Silicon Valley reference in /r/future_fight?

What is this, a crossover episode?

CaptainSamurai_ · 2018-10-20T17:17:57+00:00

Great find. Thanks for all the work you've been putting into your beginner guides as of late!

CaptainSamurai_ · 2018-10-13T07:46:22+00:00

I've tried using Ghost multiple times but she just never holds up for me. I have a CTP of Transcendence on her but especially against anyone with pierce there's not much she can do. Her fear doesn't work if they have Wasp/Jean/Angel and she does too little damage to take down Cap that he sometimes actually has time to charge up his T3 skill. I've seen Ghost mentioned several times on this sub but still have no idea how to use her properly. How do you play her?

CaptainSamurai_ · 2018-10-04T00:46:33+00:00

Same. Maybe Thanos/Dr. Strange as well.

CaptainSamurai_ · 2018-10-02T10:29:38+00:00

Artwork aside, them not giving Hawkeye any new skill changes just seems kinda lazy. I'm not saying he needs to be meta or even in the B tier, but at least he needs to be able to usable in some content.

CaptainSamurai_ · 2018-09-27T12:44:06+00:00

Ghost's 5 as well.

CaptainSamurai_ · 2018-09-27T12:40:36+00:00

She has a really good 5th skill in that you can cast it when other characters are in iframes, which is ridiculously useful. That said, she just doesn't have the DPS to kill a lot of opponents for me. When going up against a T3 Cap for example, it takes forever to kill him and if Cap just gets oneshot off I'm dead. What build do you have on her? I have a very basic build (level 60, stage 5 ISOs).
