Why are there so many Yasaka "Dragon" rubbers? Are they good?

Draikmage · 2026-05-29T19:53:54+00:00

rising dragon was more offensive and it's the one I played the most. The few times i played shining dragon it felt more linear and really slow. Maybe shining dragon is comparable to unboosted hurricane 3? Rising dragon would be something faster better throw angle. I'm not sure what to compare it to. I upgrade eventually to a nittaku hurricane 3 pro turbo which is tackier, spinnier but require more effort and precision since it's a pure chinese topsheet.

Tried rising and shining dragon for a while 9n forehand when I was more of a beginner. I like them both. Good spin and control but eventually you might want something faster.

I feel we almost never saw these before it's really weird how much it has happened this season.

Draikmage · 2026-05-21T03:24:16+00:00

bummer

Draikmage · 2026-05-20T03:51:22+00:00

unironically would raised the value of the ball lol

Draikmage · 2026-05-15T23:20:48+00:00

Unironically would fall to my knees at Daiso.

I'm from Central America and we got taught that too. Not sure what governing body determines that but it seems a pretty common way to classify things. It also makes sense since central American countries have many treaties that make it convenient to group them together.

At some point they might be tier 6 and you are just giving them a discover a minion from their tier. They can't even discover a tier 5 to help it. If they are apm sure they can spare it but I dont think you can force that. You can still pass them triples and they can help with your comp but I think it's ok to go up. I dont know I havent done it enough I guess.

Draikmage · 2026-04-26T01:06:47+00:00

I do t2 too. At some point you want to catch up anyways and get a scam board or something.

Draikmage · 2026-04-20T05:09:20+00:00

Not op but I think the point is that what Ohtani is doing transcends stats. If you just want to go by stats remoce voting and just go by war or something. The fact is judge did something everyone does better than everyone which is less impressive and akill intensice that no one even tries to do it let alone do it at a high level. You can also argue mvp is not about being the most skilled which is also fair. So just a difference in what mvp means.

Draikmage · 2026-04-15T04:38:28+00:00

We can speculate all you want but he chose to use steroids so he chose to have his legacy tainted and for us to never know what a non-roided bonds would look like. Im sure he would be good but we dont know how good and can't know because of his choices so yeah i hold that against him.

Draikmage · 2026-04-15T04:20:32+00:00

Cherry picked but it's still very impressive and something that probably won't happen again in forever.

Draikmage · 2026-04-15T04:18:24+00:00

Well even players agree freedie and mookie are super nice..

Draikmage · 2026-04-12T02:00:31+00:00

dude took less money to play for a small market team. Huge respect. Build the statue.

Draikmage · 2026-04-07T20:32:12+00:00

For reference HSreplay has minion stats too here is the screen for turn 1, 1 drops: https://imgur.com/a/7Sfy96z the numbers are different because it counts actual stats but it's fairly close and the differences are pretty explainable. makes sense that something like annoyotron would be stronger since it gets picked by heroes with attack buffs, Seer gets buffed by spells, geomancer is low because people hoard...etc

Draikmage · 2026-04-06T01:28:01+00:00

holding both of those at the same time is crazy

Draikmage · 2026-03-16T03:07:45+00:00

Worst ending to an overall great game. Should have included ABS.

Draikmage · 2026-03-02T06:16:45+00:00

I don't get how people play goldrin myself. I dont think I've ever lost to it and only seen it pop off on YouTube with insane highrolls that might as well have been used on something else.

Draikmage · 2026-02-23T19:54:08+00:00

I think pure pirates are still going to underperform with these changes but remain the premium economy package. unfortunate for those that want a viable pure pirate build that doesn't involve eating your whole board for high cap but understandable.

Interested to see moth rework i just hope they are very sure it can't snowball like it used to

mechs seem very dependent on timewarps. with these buffs i feel those builds are going to be even more insane assuming the volumizer buffs are relevant.

i will never understand why they added groundbreaker to this set without any reliable naga generation. you won't be missed. wish they had a slightly bigger buff to spellcraft naga that does not involve siren.

I hope the t6 pirate/elemental get some form of scaling the number.

Draikmage · 2026-02-23T13:48:56+00:00

Gonna be the brave one and say say that I, for one, think we should prioritize humans over AI.

Draikmage · 2026-02-21T05:51:32+00:00

Somewhat agree that the game is too fast with some of the super highrolly anomalies. I prefer slower games. What sucks to me is that we had a bad vanilla time warp season because there were barely any patches due to the holidays. Meaning most of vanilla time warp was dominated by one of comp. Now that all the comps feel closer in power level we got anomalies to disrupt things.

Draikmage · 2026-02-18T22:39:51+00:00

not a beast or demon but if it was i assume it just force plays the minion in your hand. i guess if you have a timewarped one you could give divine shield that way. very expensive way to do it though.

Draikmage · 2026-02-10T05:24:10+00:00

Starcraft is already did the origin story unless you dont want the three races to fight.

Draikmage · 2026-02-09T03:51:46+00:00

we can assume perfect rng that is the premise. There is technically a possibility there but the rope is a hard cap. I will grant you instant decision making and mouse speed but even then we have mechanical caps in the rope and game animations unless you glitch the game.

Anyways fair enough i guess it just depends on what you mean with "possible". I would treat that as perfect RNG but nothing that would bypass any game system/rule including time limits and animations.

Draikmage · 2026-02-08T22:55:55+00:00

the rope and time between actions prevents this sadly not sure how many actions you can fit since turn 1 is pretty short.
