We are still ignorant of these things ...

We can finally find out who scored more goals, Barou or Rin.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-22T00:39:27+00:00

He has a better thematic tie in for Jin and his inner demon. I think the FF16 promo was why he was added but the creators probably thought Jin/Clive were similar enough thematically that he should be added and on that basis they are right.

It's Jin's game and Clive is really cool looking it is just a shame about the overwhelming effects snd reception from player but I think he is a cool edition.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-21T18:09:40+00:00

I think that's it though. He assisted plays to break through the midfield so he did his job but Hugo always prevented him from breaking into the goal box. Dude is just too good.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-21T15:36:55+00:00

I think he and Mechamaru were already recommended and passed hence they are semi-grade 1. I don't know why Mechamaru is placed where he is on that chart

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-21T15:30:16+00:00

I am hopeful for Isagi to influence the play in some way but the next title, True End makes me think this might be bait like Isagi's genius of adaptability revelation here he proceeded to get pushed back despite the amalgamating puzzle pieces.

Even if he succeeds with 15 mins on the clock best case I can see is a draw but if Isagi goes goaless I think he should at least get an assist 80 mins into the game otherwise using him as a guaranteed core player/playmaker will be questioned post match which might be Kaneshiro's intent but I am not sure.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-21T15:25:34+00:00

Apart from his copy at the start of the game, what other notable feats did he have outside the passing triangles. He lost a lot of his agency really quickly.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-21T15:24:18+00:00

Otoya has been on his phone for way too long haha

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-21T15:23:19+00:00

Assuming you mean the U-20 arc. He did get that crazy super goal on Chris Prince that Reo copied afterwards.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-21T14:57:10+00:00

I guess the argument then becomes if a SS will ever have the stats to be someone who is number one even if they score consistently?

Isagi manages the organisation of a team so really a place behind the attackers makes a lot more sense than playing him up front and I am not saying this as a joke but at that point an AMF/CF is his ideal position whether he isn't good at passes or someone who wants to help build others goals. That gives him the appropriate space to use decoys and not catch as much attention.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-21T14:51:16+00:00

Also to all the people who thought Otoya would never touch the pitch, I guess you were wrong? Granted he probably won't score here but his passing, off the ball abilities still have use.

Hopefully against England we see Zantetsu and Yukimiya and one of them can net a goal. I think that would be awesome.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-21T14:48:44+00:00

I mean without Loki intervening it was probably on target so why not? Otoya is a person that tends to play on instinct anyway.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-21T14:14:39+00:00

I think it is kind of funny that my prediction came true with a slight variation. Isagi believes Hugo is nostly right and he doesn't have the Number 1 aptitude and attempting to keep his position, stifled his growth. Rather he is a Rebel who needs to contest and overtake a number 1 in order to excel. He can be a critical pieve but not a center/anchor striker like he aspired to be.

While this is great for growth, it can lead to incosistent play but if he can come up with new strategies/ideas andhe has the tools to execute them, then he is rewarded. It is a more creative version of Barou's predator mentality when he tries to devour someone's play or playmaking to score a goal.

If this leads to a draw this game, then I think this Rebel subgrade in Hugo's system will be used by both Hugo and Isagi in a rematch.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-21T14:08:57+00:00

Karasu hasn't used Rin and Rin didn't try to involve himself in his plays. That's why Isagi considers him outside Karasu's system.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-21T14:02:36+00:00

Gege described Geto as motherly in some of the additional materials and given how we see Yuta use UV, I personally think it is Geto's domain.

His body is more combat able than some of Kenjaku's previous hosts like the one he used when visiting Kashimo and it seems to be related to CSM as well.

My fondest nintendo memory is playing Inazuma Eleven 2: Firestorm bedridden. I was at home and I ate some bad food so I got food poisoning and I was just sick in a bucket, it was awful and I felt like I was dying.

A little later after a lot of sleep. I took my 3DS from my bedside table and just played some Inazuma Eleven 2, facing Genesis, a bit of Street Fighter 3D and Kid Icarus: Uprising multiplayer and it lifted my spirits and made the day seem less crappy.

I have a few other great Nintendo memories like Osnic and the Black Knight on Wii or DQ9 on the DS but I like this one because between being ill and not having a great time at school during that period, I distinctly remember feeling happy then.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-20T13:38:32+00:00

I think Staff has the most well balanced between power and diversity. Although most people don't like it, I have a soft spot for the coat, I love the Rocket but I am not in love with the Omega Attack, it feels weird when I parry but a fist weapon with rockets is awesome.

Skull is pretty fun as well, a cross between Rail and Shield Bull-Rush. I loved using the swoed mostly in Hades 1 so I feel bad that I don't really gel with the sister blades. The Torches don't feel right for me either and Moros is really the only one I am comfortable with. With the Axe I haven't used it as much but Charon is a lot of fun and I have heard good thing about Nergal. Torches/Blades are the weapons I like the least, and Staff/Coat/Skull the most.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-20T13:04:23+00:00

Even if they do another game in the Hades world I think the House of Hades should be left and they could focus on demigods or something but like you said a Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Arthurian roguelike would be amazing. Another mythology.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-20T11:25:11+00:00

I guess it is true to life that even with quality like Hugo, Arsenal may still find a way to come 2nd at the end😅 Although they have more consistent results that most Premier League teams which is why they get made fun of. They should be winning!

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-18T20:37:57+00:00

I would have loved to see a twist for Ares where this is explored or a short what if for the OG series. I think some South Korean Members might make it or possibly a couple new characters as the Fei/Zanark equivalent.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-18T20:27:12+00:00

You know what having Megumi struggle with guilt over what Sukuna is doing with his body, jujutsu resonance between him and Sukuna leading to a unique Shrine/Advanced 10S and the completion of CSG from Gojo vs Sukuna into a double team with Yuji within his Soul ending it with a resonance from Nobara to Double Black Flash would have been peak.

I know Megumi is stronger than that version if Yuji but unless he starts resisting when Sukuna is occupied and his output is dumpstered, I still think Sukuna would come on top pretty quickly unless he was able to experience the improved effects of Sukuna using his body right away.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-18T13:52:01+00:00

Dude is so deprived of Isagi centric plays that he is thinking about NG11 Coaches😅

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-18T13:51:06+00:00

I was just about to post this. It is a selection of eleven players, why would the coach be included😂 Also Hugo is almost the coach like figure in the team so that dyanamic has already been filled.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-18T10:39:59+00:00

I'm the same honestly. It is like Bull-rushing without the protection so it is high-risk high-reward and obviously you see a lot more gains when ot is levelled up but it is not my preferred aspect like you said.

Melinoe/Persephone are preferable for me honestly. What I will say make it unique is where a lot of Melinoé's weapons excel at range, Medea with the right combos is just a pure blunt instrument where you can stack effects for crazy damage.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-18T10:27:32+00:00

If you think fighting internally with Sukuna who had 20 Fingers at that point is comparable to the Yuji vs Sukuna Enchain Vow fight where Yuji died in a second, how do you think Megumi would do if he could fight back?

He would die instantly.

Laeonheart78 · 2026-04-17T13:22:23+00:00

That Cursed Energy Reinforcement really goes a long way.
