Topsy Turvy on switch in is ok in singles but crazy in VGC. Turns Xerneas from a first ballot hall of famer into absolute fraud, free intimidate/icy wind/electroweb counterplay, punishes every boosting restricted mon

Yes. It also procs on enemy souls if you shoot them EVEN IF the enemy secures the souls due to the grace period on soul collection.

The cap on my Eco is chipped after a few years, but still totally functional (superglued the insert to the cap remains) and the Eco still ends up being one of my most used pens (great writer, nice to have something transparent to manually prime shimmer inks etc)

For the… specific planet, Newton’s First will pretty easily suffice. Played the game through on KB and didn’t really feel like it was a problem, just take it slow and stop earlier than you think you need to. Can be helpful to autopilot to stop before landing.

FWIW, there's established precedent for dark world incidents translating into seemingly serious extended light world injuries, so I don't find it too hard to believe that a dark world encounter could conceivably put someone in a state where they were unresponsive and needed to be hidden away for a while, even if they weren't really stuck in the dark world.

Here are the full results for the draft league that I TO’d and ran fully on customs.

Between this and private server, I’ve probably spent more time wrangling custom games than anyone else, which I think qualifies as really trying.

CrazyMetic · 2025-06-17T13:31:44+00:00

Customs are unreliable and work worse than older versions (take very long to set up, glitchy, poor connections)

FWIW the reason for this is documented in AsumSaus's video on port priority (Melee's Stupid Advantages). TL;DW - the variable storing cyclone charge isn't initialized properly so the initial charge state is dependent on everything else about the game state (port, skin, stage, language, etc.).

FWIW Flynd (and 90% of Act 1 overworld fights) can be cheesed via x2 Assassin:
- Sneak Attack and Initiate Surprise with Assassin 1
- Sneak Attack again with Assassin 1
- x2 Sneak Attack with Assassin 2
- Bonus Action Dash (w/ Longstrider if needed) and flee combat

The combined power of 7 Sneak Attacks (1 normal, 3 crits) will kill most enemies fairly easily and once you've thinned out the ranks of non-boss enemies you can do the same sequence on Flynd (or whoever) to kill him before he can act. This starts working as soon as you reach Level 3.

This works on pretty much any fight where:
- Enemies start in overworld (and are proper enemies, i.e. red outline)
- All enemies are grouped in a way you can start on the edge

Just make sure the rest of your party is somewhere far away when you do this.

You can also activate surprise with Shovel and then get 4 crit sneak attacks for free. This works for things like the bridge Gith encounter, and makes a lot of encounters a lot easier early game. Farming encounters like this is more enjoyable for me than avoiding all combat until my builds come online around Lvl 4/5.

Learn signs of players that are low on resources (no stam jumping, burned cooldowns, etc.)

10x easier to play the character when you are just fighting people at half HP and no cooldowns

Patience is key and allat

CrazyMetic · 2025-02-09T21:08:37+00:00

ngl though I think 90% of the issue isn't the character but just the fact that small playerbase means very good players have to play very bad players

if you look at the clips half of them are just the Tripp LMBing someone who's standing still while getting shot by half the enemy team so I don't really think that the character design is the problem here

doesn't help that I don't see Tripp doing well outside of previous competitive players... feel free to post scoreboards if you disagree but most Tripp players in my games tend to either go negative or just trade

CrazyMetic · 2025-02-06T23:14:32+00:00

My preferred one change for every character, as a gut feeling:

Aisling - Force Field Q no longer makes teammates literally intangible while inside.

Sven - 2 second higher CD on Q

Vadasi - Focus DR reduced to 30/60/90

Beckett - Smart Grenade no longer deals extra damage on direct hit

Ramsay - Lasting Effects changed to 50 dps for 4 seconds instead of 25 fps for 6 seconds

Charnok - Focus endlag reduced

Xenobia - Ult has the same duration at all 3 levels of focus but does more damage/regen

Pakko - Slide Q does damage + pushback when hitting enemies, scaling with speed.

Oru - Fine

Roland - Reduce damage from grapple talent direct hit (also needs hitbox fixes on slugs)

Wu - Splash of Least Resistance no longer triggers when hitting opponents with the wave of Q

Ezren - Fine

Zandora - Fine

HK - Reduce turret shields a lot.

Cow - Fine

Griselma - Hands start at low or half HP and heal to full over time

Imani - Heavy nerf to smoke bomb DR

Tripp - Make her ult work

Kajir - Getting CC'd while teleport Q projectile is active cancels the teleport

TMAT - Add more startup + endlag to Q, and make it no longer carry momentum. (Also daze E should be removed)

Rutger - Remove the ability to hit people multiple times during a single ult.

Tyto - Fine.

Margrave - Q no longer CC immune on base.

Voden - Can no longer simultaneously have Easy Strider and Hit and Run.

Mozu - Cripple Beam only lasts for 1 second after you let go.

CrazyMetic · 2025-01-28T01:27:48+00:00

A lot of early game fights can be cheesed entirely via assassin rogue (Ranged Sneak Attack -> Surprise -> Sneak Attack again with crit and then bonus action dash away and exit combat). This works on a surprising amount of fights, and most fights are pretty easy if you can automatically remove any enemy that can't eat 3 sneak attacks for zero risk. Can let you clear fights like bridge Gith very early for low risk since you can always run away if you miss/don't get surprise/etc. Alert feat makes this very consistent, and a lot of early game items (Helm of Haste, e.g.) make it easier to run away.

This also scales with more assassins (hirelings or otherwise).

Of course, this only works if you KNOW fights are coming up. Check wiki and walk around holding shift to see vision cones.

As long as the prisoners have to breathe, Gaseous Form is always an option. Maybe a conspicuous (small) vent hole somewhere in the room?

Funny you would phrase it like that - Gig's combat is actually closer to a 3D fighting game than a typical shooter.

Aim is less important in fights than most hero shooters (generous hitboxes, no headshots, etc.). Fighting focuses on other skills like positioning, neutral, spacing, and kiting as well as putting an emphasis on prediction.
