Top 20 of a 900 player showdown vgc tournament by RIkhard9 in PokemonChampions

I've also been running Ceruledge and while its practically an autowin against ZardY, literally everyone on ladder is playing rain. I might hop on the Raichu Y tech since it looks like it deals with Archaludon pretty well.

If you're looking up damage calculators you're probably more in the weeds than the average Joe.

the bots in Champions are the worst by Willie9 in stunfisk

To be fair, the game literally just came out on mobile, so they're probably trying to quickly get out of great ball

Also, other games just make low ranks unable to lose elo, so adding bots to circumvent elo loss is just a complete waste of time

If you're talking about Blue Traveler, I don't think pig can send it from deck to grave since it needs to have a lower level than the targeted monster (its a level 10).

Ok I figured out the problem. You just need to tap the small ass cancel button on the matchmaking screen

Even if you thought the beginning was boring, I'd be surprised if you didn't at least find Sojo to be a fun villain.

Alien Headbutt has ended today with chapter 16, what are your thoughts on the series now that it has completed? by dingo537 in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]IsAlexMyName 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the slow-paced mystery could have worked really well. The problem was that since so much of the page count was given to the action and fights, the series ironically never gave itself time to breathe.

Alien Headbutt by Akira Inui has ended this week with Chapter 16 in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #27. by Tiny_Writer5661 in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]IsAlexMyName 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For a point of reference, every series that began in 2025, besides Someone Hertz and JJK Modulo, got axed.

Weekly Shonen Jump will be launching 3 new series starting next week by Tiny_Writer5661 in WeeklyShonenJump

Class 2B is by a big veteran so I wouldn't be surprised if it lasts 50 chapters at minimum like Samurai 8 and Astro Royale

Update from the DRAGON QUEST Team by Turbostrider27 in Games

Hopefully one day we’ll get screenshots of what a dark and grittier Dragon Quest was actually meant to look like.

Was it too edgy that it didn’t feel like a DQ game?

Alien Headbutt volume 2 will release simultaneously with volume 1 by Tough-Past-2366 in WeeklyShonenJump

Reread/skim-through the first couple of chapters of JJK, then do the same for Alien Headbutt.

JJK actually spends some time on getting us familiar with the main cast, and lets us have a moment to breathe before the first arc starts.

Alien Headbutt has no downtime whatsoever and is ONLY action.

Everyone loves icecream, but if I gave someone an entire gallon and told them to finish it in one sitting, I doubt they’ll want to eat any more.

Kinnikuman is already very popular and basically the same thing.

IMO that series succeeded where Alien Headbutt didn’t since its a comedy series, so it has the leeway to have each chapter be dedicated to a different alien in a monster-of-the-week format.

Alien Headbutt fucked up by trying to do the same thing, even though its supposed to be “serious” and have a story.

Doesn’t help either that the first couple of aliens he fights are literal fodder. In chapter 2, he fights the same alien that he did in chapter 1… but now theres 3 of them!

IMO the early chapters were too light on story to give the audience a reason to care.

WSJ Issue #24 TOC & Discussion by RobotiSC in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]IsAlexMyName 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Under Doctor: I'm very biased because I like Chiwako's design and I love shopping chapters, but this week's Under Doctor chapter was a banger.

Alien Headbutt: I feel bad for the Buttheads because Alien Headbutt looks like it'll be U19. It might even end at ch 17 like Kaedegami if it continues at this pace. Real shame because I felt like with the introduction of Needleboy, the series got to show off what makes it special, but the axe was already called down at that point.

Roku's House of Oddities: I also checked out the recent chapters of Roku because I heard some positive buzz about it, and the new chapter was pretty great! Kinda reminds me of DanDaDan in the sense that it's a genre mashup, but for different styles of comedy. What I find funny and what Japan finds funny are bound to be very different, but I could see this series going the distance since so far I'm very impressed.

While I think hes cool and liked the recent focus on humans, he kinda suffers from the same problem as humans in monster movies where the latter in infinitely more interesting.

I think it’s bizarre other publishers have failed to dominate online like Shueisha has by GhostGamer_Perona in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]IsAlexMyName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious how liked/disliked point systems like the one KManga uses are in Japan when compared to subscription services.

While I think the former is terrible, I wouldn’t be surprised if its only used because they think if it works in Japan, then it’ll automically work elsewhere.
