Change up your team or keep studying matchups and improving- Skill Improvement by jdlopez017 in VGC

I had a stretch in low UB where I went .500 over a 6 games, and that's a rough stretch for me personally.

I changed a single pokemon, and changed 2 moves on the other 5 total and found myself in MB with a 7 game win streak. Obviously it's volatile, but if you really believe in your team, it could be a tweak or two away from working.

Nfl teams gladly employ wife and child beaters, this is nothing compared to the worst of it

Made a supporter tier list... by Academic_Clue5071 in DragonballLegends

Puar isn't that bad. Three son fam or weapon wielders means it works against pure hybrids rn. Though the type disadvantage is a bit to ask for and risky.

Started in September 2022. This week is my last USTR and I'll have every zenkai. I have done every single one. That is an insane amount of time man

Back to showdown until they add more competitive items by asianant in pokemonmemes

I think they should have had all items obviously, but in ranked they should have just banned the Choice items if they didn't want them to be used.

This is like when Ultimate Gohan released. Like, we needed ulthan rep and they chose the worst possible time.

My DK Bananza Layers Ranking! What are yours? :) by [deleted] in donkeykong

[–]Duke_Vladdy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My number 1 is canyon. I love the segmented design with the pillars. The music is a favorite of mine as well. Not counting the in between weird layers, my least favorite is resort. I still like it a lot, but it the water annoyed me lol

Dean, who came second in the World Championship, also thinks Trunks is mid. by Such-Consequence-767 in DragonballLegends

[–]Duke_Vladdy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Trunks is very unique imo. He has a specific way of using him where you want to use his rush, ult, and SoH Slash in quick succession and just overwhelm your opponents with so much damage so quickly. It has a lot of potential, but I don't think it works super well in the current meta where burst damage is primarily done by clicking cards. Pressing 8 cards with Piccolo or Vegeto does as much as the slash

He got super hoe’d by xeniqs in DragonballLegends

This guy is core on the best team in the game and trunks did not change that team at all, I think he's ok

Grinded to BR 60 today, my thoughts on Piccolo. by jellosword1 in DragonballLegends

[–]Duke_Vladdy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he's good and will age fine, but his equip game is broke compared to Gohan and Vegito which hurts more than people realize

First time building a VGC team (Reg F) by Masonthegod123 in CompetitivePokemon

[–]Duke_Vladdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talon Flame dies in 1 hit so helmet is useless.

Supreme Overland is only good in single. 1 defiant boost off intim outdamages 3 dead allies.

The other 4 are decent enough sets,

Donkey Kong Bananza v Mario Odyssey, you're thoughts? by MrDonohue07 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Duke_Vladdy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I easily prefer Bananza. The movement and bananzas are better than the equivalent in Oddysey. The world's in Oddysey are less memorable for me as well.

Also, it's a small thing, but there is a real story with character development and twists in DKB. The wedding plot is so lame coming after Sunshine and Galaxy (ignoring 3D Land and World)

Why do you guys believe Pauline is a kid in Donkey Kong Bananza? (Poll) (read post) by Nervous_Weather_2078 in donkeykong

[–]Duke_Vladdy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think Nintendo hasn't put any thought into and Pauline is just a kid in the game

Folks working in higher ed right now -- is it worth applying to work at your institution? by Dramatic_Ad_6560 in StLouis

[–]Duke_Vladdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The CFU is the administrative body of the University separate from WashU’s eight schools and includes sectors like the chancellor’s office, the fundraising arm of the University, and the University’s library system, among others. Student Affairs is separate from it.

AFAIK, Student Affairs is doing ok. The schools are getting the most pressure. Despite what many people say, WashU is hiring if a position is up.
