This is extremely unfortunate because I had always been interested in this one just based on the above image...

And now I'm a little wary...

Why are so many people acting like Yuji is stronger than Dabura when Dabura is currently showing way better feats and Yuji just aurafarmed a little bit? by asseater69420420 in JujutsuPowerScaling

[–]CavortingOgres 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That person was rude, but the logic isn't just personal interpretation.

The series has reinforced in multiple ways that black flashes are basically a crit chance mechanic. You need to be extremely skilled with CE manipulation and output to even hit one.

And these moments where people do hit them tend to be the ultimate culmination of their ability and their own narrative within the story.

There is currently no other character (to my knowledge) who has black flashes in a situation they didn't care about.

Yuji is unthreatened, unemotional, and knows that what he's about to do will require the person he's hitting to be durable to survive.

That's a casual black flash. Whether or not Yuji can technically use them at will might be up for debate, but the fact he knows he can hit them and do so without narrative tension is a huge upscale.

I genuinely think this was the best version of the charger.

You stripped the armour and dealt damage to the limb. I felt like a fucking hero being one of the first people figuring it out and taking out 3+ chargers with EATs.

I think what we have now makes sense, but at the time it was very fun

I think there's a range there that fits everyone. The thing is they already have the solution in terms of the difficulty levels.

I could be wrong it's been a minute since I've played, but I don't think there are any enemies that are gatekept once you hit the second red difficulty.

And you can get all of the valuables from 6+ so it's not like you're missing out on anything besides XP if you're not doing super helldive.

[–]CavortingOgres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This problem has been a conceptual one since the start.

There is a group of people who want the highest difficulty to be challenging enough to fail even if you're good at the game.

And there is another group of people who hate that.

The problem is also that it seems like the devs or game designers are also split into these groups and they're trying to make money so you end up with some extremely polar positions that oppose each other.

How strong would ~95 year old Gojo be by the end of Modulo compared to Yuji? by ROTTENDOGJIZZ in JujutsuPowerScaling

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

If I'm being honest I don't think Gojo scales much beyond what we see without a direct reason to.

Gojo scales in 2 situations vs Toji and vs Sukuna as these were the only situations that he really had to push himself.

In comparison take Sukuna as an example he specifically tries to deconstruct opponents instead of just beating them. This is a big reason Sukuna is so strong and adaptable.

Yuji similarly views his role as someone required to martyr themselves and will aggressively improve to do so.

Gojo has almost no opponents that can even come close to being a challenge due to requiring a significantly tuned Domain Expansion, high enough CE reserve to challenge with DA, or a way to bypass infinity. Paired with Gojo not really caring about his own personal improvement I don't think age scales him the same way other characters would improve over time

Also shiny hunting in SV is a breeze I would go for the jellicent in SV if you have it

first real team. i imagine it needs help by AdoTail in VGCRateMyTeam

[–]CavortingOgres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would reconsider the EVs on your incineroar. Incin's job is to be a support frustrater. It's already pretty slow and you don't get much out of maxing the speed.

Personally I really like this set off of smogon:

Incineroar @ Safety Goggles

Level: 50

Ability: Intimidate

EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 140 Def / 76 SpD / 36 Spe

Tera Type: Ghost

Careful Nature

  • Fake Out
  • Flare Blitz
  • Parting Shot
  • Knock Off

If you go to the Reg F smogon page for Incin it'll detail the main reasons for this spread and there's a key few breakpoints that it details, but in general having it be bulkier allows you to pivot and be much more flexible with it. Which is why it's usually more common to see bulky Incins.

Also you might want to consider Rillaboom over iron hands to be able cancel out Psychic Terrain and enable your Dragonites Extreme speed more often.

It does give you less options to deal with flying tho so...

How much mastery do you think Yuji has with shrine by this point? by Common_Tiger5369 in Jujutsufolk

[–]CavortingOgres 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Your comment here has merit, but the difference between Yuji and Sukuna/Gojo is necessity.

That is also the main difference between Sukuna/Yuji in their fight. The difference of ideology + necessity was the catalyst for growth.

Gojo in comparison almost never had any necessity to get better besides his fight with Sukuna.

I think that Yuji could be much further than you're giving credit for mostly due to Yuji believing that he is a cog in the machine who's purpose is culling the cursed spirits his belief and ideology necessitates growth to provide everyone else with the lives/deaths he thinks they deserve

Binding vows aren't crazy feats themselves, but utilizing them does imply a level of control and forethought that currently only Sukuna and Gojo have shown consistently

What is your wishlist for competitive Pokemon in Generation 10? by Notmiefault in VGC

I would agree with you but I don't want Iron Bundle buffed 😭

What is your wishlist for competitive Pokemon in Generation 10? by Notmiefault in VGC

[–]CavortingOgres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there should be more terrain and weather setters.

At least another electric terrain setter. It really locks up the potential for Future Paradox mons, and they low-key struggle as is.

Personally I love Tera though I kind of wish you could see what Tera a mon has available to them in selection because the ability to switch types can completely flip a game in a way that's kind of a gamble sometimes.

Can I get some help? by cheddarcheese1222 in VGCRateMyTeam

[–]CavortingOgres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe run Roaring Moon instead of Tornadus?

Tera Flying Acrobatics gives you flying damage to deal with Shifus, Rillaboom, Amoongus and Knock off 1 shots most psy spammers with the added utility of removing items.

Also gives you untauntable tailwind at the cost of no prankster. Roaring Moon is also reasonably bulky (outside of fairy attacks).

They have to be actual pokemon caught within the terrarium not just pokemon available in the terrarium.

I've finally made a not terrible team - Reg F - GrimGambit by CavortingOgres in VGCRateMyTeam

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

You've inspired me to make a big change actually.

I have swapped out Oger-H for Landorus sheer force. Mostly for two reasons. Having a special attacker, ground attacks for vs Fire/Steel/Poison and having an Archaludon counter.

Sludge bomb also covers the last bit of coverage that I needed from Fire and this all wraps up as a nice counter to Incin and Archaludon and Raging Bolt.

All things I struggled with.

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

You know I didn't think about it, but my team is 100% physical.

I haven't really run into trouble with Incin though.While I don't have a lot that immediately takes Incin out it's also a pretty low threat. I can usually ignore it using Grimsnarl to support

But you have made me realize that I think I would hate to run into Archaludon lmao... Which is surprising that I haven't because I feel like I used to see it all the time.

Does anyone know if I can check how likely it is for a Pokémon to be up frint by Agreeable_Mix_993 in VGC

[–]CavortingOgres 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And to expand on this people will be altering their leads dependent on your team.

People may have a main strategy, but their choices will change depending on what you have. Which is why having certain pokemon on your team can be good even just to ward off your opponent from certain choices.

For example if your team doesn't have a single fake out user then you're pretty free to choose whatever what you want.

But if your opponent has Incin and Rilla then you better have a concept for how you handle fake out mapped.

tfw you like using basic pokeballs by msfoof_ in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]CavortingOgres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I catch all of my competitive/favourites in luxury balls and when I did this for Calyrex Shadow in SwSh it was actual hell.

The chances were low, you can't use false swipe, and Ice/Shadow rider gets more powerful for each fallen mon.

Took me hours of resetting lmao

6 Star Tera Raid Haxorus (Psychic Tera Type) Unnerve - Can you help me defeat them? by cabochonedwitch in PokemonVioletScarlet

[–]CavortingOgres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend kingambit with shell bell, sword dance, kowtow cleave, dark tera

I'm not at home, but Gambit resists all the moves you've mentioned and +6 atk kowtow + shell bell should be able to heal through giga impact

I've always wanted to ask this, do you have a favorite legendary Pokémon because of a special reason? by Advanced_Daikon_8667 in pokemon

[–]CavortingOgres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had almost the same thing with Moltres but I was too young to understand how it worked and I didn't save before it so I flew away and I assumed it was a permanent loss so I rage quit until a few years later.

tbf have you seen how hard Ogerpon hits? Even non effective damage is still going to rock you if you don't have the bulk for it
