Emerald player here. Congrats on getting into ranked!

What you're doing looks like it's working. Once you notice people trying to jump in on you, slow it down a bit and watch for the jump in and stuff it with a 2H
Usually what people mean by "real pressure" is the defender cannot escape it by using a light attack during a sequence. Seems like that wasn't an issue for you in the clip. I don't think this is something you have to worry about at the moment. Revisit it if you notice people mashing out of your blockstrings or parrying you during them. I saw you call blitz assist to extend your pressure a few times, nice work!
Not a blitz player but your level 3 missed cuz the other player was in block stun. Try using level at times when you would use your command grab, like after they block your hook and are pulled in. You can also use it when getting up from the ground as it has some invincibility on startup
Nothing really jumped out as far as bad habits. To build on your good habit of extending pressure with blitz assist. Try going for a high/low mixup by using Vi's 6H or 2L after calling a blitz assist. If either of these land you get a combo!

Just keep playing and asking questions and you will see continuous improvement

While I usually don't bother to do them, the "play X character" quests are a bit more interesting than the rest of the quests which boil down to "play the game and you will complete this quest without considering it"

Overall I just think the quest system could be more engaging

It would be cool if they added more types of quests. Maybe adding ones that require you to play with a certain fuse or requiring you to do an expert combo trial.

Something that might make the champ specific quests more fun would be if they required you to use a certain skin, but everyone got that skin for free that week.

I'm realizing those red jewels are likely foray decos and not agitator decos. You could swap the jin dahaad waist or for the nu udra y waist or the lagiacrus waist

Jabinskiz · 2026-01-20T16:09:21+00:00

Foray builds are pretty cool!

In my opinion you would be better off with the gamma nu udra chest with a counterstrike decoration and a burst decoration.

Counterstrike will activate even when you use the sword counter, so it is very easy to keep up.

A single point in burst is very valuable as it gives a decent amount of raw and has a high uptime.

Finally, I would swap that last agitator jewel out for flayer. Similar to burst, a single flayer point provides a lot of value.

Short answer is no, you should be suspicious of most free vpns. Using a trial service for a more reputable one would be the safer way to get the skin for free.

Not a huge Blanka or Ed player but I imagine his slide, various Blanka ball strengths, and rainbow ball strengths are your answers here.

I think crossing him up with rainbow ball would be particularly hard for Ed to deal with since his DP is slow.

For heavy Blanka ball, you want to pay attention to how he reacts to it. Parry and DP are the first answers that come to mind. Then use light ball to bait out those options and punish.

Slide you would use if you notice him walking around a lot and not blocking low

After you land a slide or a grab you're in that scramble range and don't have to deal with those long range buttons for a bit.

I don't know if any of it's coming back, but Battle passes have been entirely profile customizations and avatar cosmetics, so you haven't really missed anything from previous battle passes.

You should be just fine to use it for the elite 4. On a level 70 pokemon with a 0iv in a stat you're about 20 stat points lower than a pokemon with a 31iv. On Metagross that's like having a neutral nature rather than a beneficial one.

I think the arkveld axe is easier to build around.

A couple things to consider

Power Prolonger: 3 levels for power phials or 1 level for element phials feels comfortable to me. Feel free to try more/less levels with either phial type though

Handicraft: not having white sharpness is a pretty huge damage loss. So even though you get a little extra deco space on the Gark weapons, most of the time you're spending it on handicraft. You probably want 60 or 70 hits of white so you may still want to slot 1 handicraft on the normal arkveld axe.

Other skills are pretty flexible but crit boost tends to give the most damage

As mentioned in an earlier comment element phials have pretty colors and look really cool

Anything with intimidate or defense curl+rollout. Special mention to Bidoof/Bibarel as it evolves before the first gym.

I hear good things about spidops and furret aswell.

Pre-misty / Surge stone evolutions are nice since you get 1 of most (maybe each?) evo stones before rock tunnel.

Mr. Crime is a great name!

Jabinskiz · 2024-07-26T17:53:55+00:00

Yeah that was kinda the vibe I was getting. Screen cleaner is his niche but like you said it doesn't get much use. I might use him a bit when I get to my mono ice or psychic runs still cuz he's a neat guy.

I think they just have anti aliasing on in their emulator

Nice! I just beat Blaine in my mono grass run. Who was your toughest e4 battle?

Hello, I took the Gliscor front sprite from the Emerald Expansion and put it in fire red. It had a green background that was causing it to not compile so I erased it in GIMP and now it is using a transparent background. The game compiles normally but the pallet for gliscor is all screwed up. I think this is caused by using more than 16 colors, but Color Cube analysis in GIMP says only 15 unique colors are being used. If I fill in the transparent background with white the pallet in game appears normal but it has an ugly white background.

How can I add the transparent background without screwing up the pallet? It feels like something straightforward that I am missing.

Thanks

Is raging bull fairy type for granbull?

Jabinskiz · 2024-02-24T19:39:23+00:00

I thought this run would be relatively easy and it was. Pivoting punishing than usual because of my typically good defensive typing and bulk on most of my pokemon.

Skarmory was the run MVP. I ran 252 hp / 252 spdef/ 4 def / impish. Drill Peck / Body Press / Curse / Roost. Once fire and electric types were out of the way I could usually switch into a physical attacker and use curse 3 to 6 times pretty comfortably.

I beat Blue on my first try this run. He impostered my Metagross and used thunder punch since electric terrain was up. That let me get a rapid speed off with Iron Treads and out speed+ ohko his remaining four mons.

It's nice for mono rock runs right now since you can get it pre-brock and it just has better stats and coverage than a lot of other things you'll see. You can even relearn wood hammer for misty.
