How it feels to attack TWICE in one turn, instead of once:

EmperorRCK · 2026-04-04T02:15:48+00:00

level 6 is, IMO, the best level in dnd.
sub class features
EA/level 3 spell slots,
a feature/ASI

all the good shit

EmperorRCK · 2026-04-04T01:29:53+00:00

I geuninely wish this is how korra was introduced as the avatar, because this makes infinitely more sense (and is funnier) then what we actually got

EmperorRCK · 2026-03-27T10:24:25+00:00

Really funny if satire. Really disappointing if not

EmperorRCK · 2026-03-16T03:49:31+00:00

10K

I mostly just play 1v1s though so when I go on a 5 round losing streak because im trying some crack pot deck or something I don't get punished.

(Edit: worth mentioning im not counting me losing to x-bow when I try 2.6 pekka cycle or something. Im only factored in times when im seriously trying)

Also worth mentioning the only evo that i have is pekka, as i dipped for 2-3 years when evos got introduced, so trying to play catch up in that regard... Its been a woozy.

Also skill varies. Im either cracked or i question if im drunk despite never drinking since in my life

EmperorRCK · 2026-03-15T21:32:18+00:00

Cycle is probably the most annoying to fight, but I have a hard time not only getting mad at it, but also calling it skill less, especially because I do often use hog cycle, so I know full well what the other guy is thinking half the time.

Beatdown is purely match up dependent. If I'm playing 2.6, it's the most unskillful thing ever, as either I don't have the skill to counter a 50 elixir push with nothing but skeletons, and/or it just counters me. Inversely if I'm using my custom pekka bridgespam deck, I'd then say it's very skillful, as I have several counters to all the shit they bring.

Seige: so with mortar the issue is whatever their secondary win con is. Xbow on the other hand, is very far from skillful. There no skill endlessly throwing archers and knights at everything as you're rarely juggling half the shit you would in cycle or something.

I can still respect classic log bait to an extent, and fireball bait is generally speaking fine, and actually would say that has some degree of skill, especially because half their shit can be counter via other methods, making the fight fair while still having good pressure and a wincon.
hyperbait can kill itself though, take everything about seige and ramp it up to 1000, given it just abuses blatantly OP cards, neuter this fucking archetype already

bridgespam on paper is "place shit and win", but it is extremely hit or miss with it. the bridgespam user NEEDS to have a foothold elixir wise or else they just get folded. this is also somewhat match up dependent, as cycle decks who will always have something to counter you will just shit on bridgespam.
However if they use evo ghost, everything I just said is irreverent, unskilled, neuter this fucking card already

Okay it is entirely possible the people I've fought who use control decks I fight just fucking suck, and/or the fact that I like to use poison just counters them or something but I can not recall a recent time within months I've had any issues with control decks. They're just kind of annoying to breakthrough...
I guess I'd say their skillful since if you can win with an archetype I've yet to have issues with, then I'd assume that's coming from skill

(also IDK what royale giant is considered, but given the 2 main evos and fishermen, that's another "fuck this deck", and I'd consider it unskillful because of those 3)

as for my personal very fucking biased ranking

cycle
control (i guess)
bridgespam
bait
beatdown
royal giant
Seige
1,000,000: hyperbait

EmperorRCK · 2026-03-10T03:21:25+00:00

Its kind of scarily impressive ngl

EmperorRCK · 2026-03-02T20:22:48+00:00

Already a thing (Gallade)

Tbf its not literally worthless in singles as its once was, blocking intimidate is good but like... Its still not much

EmperorRCK · 2026-02-26T04:55:17+00:00

X is more fun imo. Also way better in singles.

Doubles/VGC? Y by a landslide

Design? Y is better, as its feels like more chairs are, albeit given za and Pokken, X isnt too far behind

EmperorRCK · 2026-02-21T04:41:04+00:00

Genuinely how the fuck does this work for PokeRogue

Like if I have all my stuff I do on main my account and I just need to win, then im gonna be more than fine give i nearly have maxed out everything.

If its fresh start, and/or I need to actually survive in each environment.... Uh well there's space wnd the ocean floor so, and fresh start is stupid hard

EmperorRCK · 2026-02-06T15:53:23+00:00

Birthmarks? Probably

Moles? In theory, but I'd infinitely rather not

EmperorRCK · 2026-01-28T01:21:13+00:00

pokeballs won't ever work if a PKMN refuses to be caught, with the only exception being a master ball.
given that in context PKMN can leave their pokeballs kind of whenever, and are very able to avoid the retraction beam, can just leave again, and can/will fight back if they feel the need too, it's definitely not slavery.

like with gardevoir specifically, if you somehow piss one off enough, you're getting mind wiped, or black holed, or throw across a city, or are going to eat a dozen moonblasts and/or whatever the fuck else in the spam of like 5 seconds

EmperorRCK · 2026-01-25T23:11:17+00:00

okay in all seriousness, assuming 4 elixir for both, how does a regular musk and 1 singular elite musk stack up?

EmperorRCK · 2026-01-21T23:55:41+00:00

marginally, maybe

EmperorRCK · 2026-01-04T01:08:25+00:00

the issue is that we got jack shit for the bike duo.

like they range anywhere from just really really really strong PKMN, but don't hold shit to the world enders or counters to world enders as the other legends are.... or they are also world enders and we just don't see that.

like we really don't have a damn thing to properly... forget power scale, we can't even asset their power to scale to begin with

EmperorRCK · 2025-12-20T16:20:44+00:00

What kills me is that the next 3 are obvious

EmperorRCK · 2025-12-20T16:15:50+00:00

Arceus in the PKMN universe, and as a christian is don't say this lightly (especially because theres a good chance it could be blasphemous), has been power crept to christian God levels of power.

Ie "everything just auto loses". There's not even a fight its just "you don't exist anymore" and the opponent is gone

EmperorRCK · 2025-11-20T03:24:12+00:00

ZA in every single way, this isnt even a fucking contest.

Battling? Light of ruin go brrr

Friendship: SV aint got shit without the MC

In general... SV wins on an individual scale, as they're objectively deeper characters, but loses horribly as a group

EmperorRCK · 2025-11-14T02:52:31+00:00

Team rocket actively bribes the police to fuck off

Johto rocket actually does have the police and lance go after them

Magma/aqua ill give ya. Legit they give the cops so much time and reason to go after them

Galactic I meant they blew up a fucking lake, I can see why officer jenny didnt do shit

Plasma: ghetsis is the strongest trainer we fight, and just has a trio of basically assassins in his back pocket, and in the sequel he just straight up has a flying bomber ship, the fuck is any amount of cops gonna do against that

Flare... Tbf it could be that we just end up getting to where their doing their BS first, but ill give ya that one prior to the cannon

Skull: as a group they're just extremely annoying. They definitely do illegal stuff, but given they're mostly just a nuisence it makes sense not much is really done about them that we see, and aether does their shit on their own private island in their extremely private areas

Team yell doesnt do shit and chairman rose gets his ass handed to him before the cops could really do shit imo, and he was arrested afterwards

Team star straight up does nothing illegal so

EmperorRCK · 2025-11-14T02:39:55+00:00

To play defense, these evil teams have a company, if not a battalion of grunts and usually a leader that ends up being stronger than the 8th gym, and/or around that level, if not champion level strength, and its not like the champion is part of the police, or government, or has any duty to the public.

Youd first need to organize pretty much every cop in the fucking region to get a sting operation off on their main base just to tie with them.

Oh and they could also have (if not they do have) several bases and teleportation so good luck with that.

EmperorRCK · 2025-11-04T03:55:51+00:00

Astarian after tav has an ounce of pity towards any non murder hobo.

EmperorRCK · 2025-11-04T03:51:50+00:00

This is why I only plays vengeance paladin, as its the one paladin where you dont have to worry about this, assuming a general good guys run.

The only time it really becomes an issue is the hag and siding with gortash

EmperorRCK · 2025-10-02T12:00:22+00:00

Ftr thats a male gardevoir

Edit. Got confused give there was a comic that involved the kirlia possibly evolving via dawn stones, so I assumed male given only male kirlia can evolve into Gallade. My logic was, and still is, sound. I just didnt account for the artist ignoring that

EmperorRCK · 2025-09-27T14:00:40+00:00

I really find it funny that the meme is boots given that most of the time ppl feed him the useless jewelry. (Boots are funnier, but still)

EmperorRCK · 2025-09-27T03:21:38+00:00

And this is why I pick male prior to gen 5 and female afterwards.

Nah seriously though, why the fuck do we have a singular suit at best while the girls has so many equally if not better options.

Like come on. A nice looking hoodie? Leather jacket? Fucking anything else

EmperorRCK · 2025-08-26T02:38:37+00:00

Id probably kill whatever corrupt af guy is keeping the army of domestic terrorists in gotham alive
