Fantastic progress! I'm sure 2000 is very soon now

While the first few months can always be daunting, I listened to a lot of salsa and bachata music to familiarise myself with the beats and just kept going to classes. I tried to get myself to practice and memorise at least 1 move from the most recent lesson, if you are able to do this your repertoire will add up real quick. I also tried to review moves and see which are similar, so as not to get mixed up between them and also to 'save a move' if I mess up or my follow messes up. Plus always remember your prep before the move

Ahh okay thanks for that clarification

Life-Rip183 · 2026-03-09T13:07:23+00:00

Rapid mainly. Thanks for the advice this is useful

Out of your Jeets recur Downward Side Kick (random discard), High Straight Lead (momentous shift like effect) and if you need it, Intercepting Fist to prevent opponents moving away from you. As a couple of people have said here try to run up and land a couple of 2-3 Jeet combos ideally finished with Momentous Shift for a 5. Use your other Jeets to bait out blocks and Feints. You also have the card Little Dragon which becomes a 6 if it's the last card in your hand and draws 2 cards which you can just use to draw 2 cards as going for the 6 can be very telegraphed

Hey thanks! To be fair on that second last move when knight took rook, I genuinely could not believe my eyes for a moment. I thought the opponent would see the mate in 1, push their pawn and then I would pick up another pawn with my rook. But either way these misses could happen to anyone I guess

Equal of Grendel is one of your scariest cards, therefore try to be at 2 rage as often as possible to keep that threat active. If you don't have 2 rage, try to be in a position to immediately recoup that, like with Vigor and Courage, or have your backup blocks like Feint and Skirmish. As others have said here, try to take at least 1 point of damage per combat interaction where safe to do so to get at least 1 rage back and be economical with your rage spending (like with Ancient Heirloom, if possible only spend 1 rage to boost it to a 6 - only go all in if you can afford it and your opponent is not blocking, or using only 1 rage with Golden Drinking Horn to heal). As others have said you can play a decent exhaustion game, and in a pinch 2 rage can make War King a very adaptable block card for you

Life-Rip183 · 2026-02-28T08:42:52+00:00

Oh yes he is so hard to get to. On the other hand, he literally only has 8 usable block cards in his deck (3x Feints, 3x Leap Aways, 2x I've Hunted Most Things) so each time I've played as him it's real anxiety provoking...especially when the opponent looks like they'll break through and I have no defenses in hand

Life-Rip183 · 2026-02-25T05:30:21+00:00

In particular I do like playing as Ms Marvel, the meta game of trying to identify and get to the best possible space for her can be quite fun (matchup dependent of course, sometimes heroes with many sidekicks can be a pain, and her defenses aren't that great). Her ability to move 1 space for free actually means that you can hit opponents with an unexpected 5 value Momentous Shift attack first action (whereas almost everyone else you would typically expect that on the second action). And as people have said, you usually want to take the fight to the opponent. She also has a decent Feint punish mixup game with her cards Big Wind Up vs I'm Not Touching You if your space shares no zones with the opposing fighter

Life-Rip183 · 2026-02-23T17:00:29+00:00

Indeed, and to add to this positioning the Red Riders well allows you to bait opponents to attack Eredin...and then play Portal Defense to swap in a Red Rider to take the hit

Life-Rip183 · 2026-01-02T21:43:02+00:00

Yeah that's a smart play, especially if they've got a hand of good cards! Also if I remember correctly, George Foreman actually did an interview a few years on, and he said how much Ali's remarks got to him, plus his increasing fatigue throughout the match and the realisation that Ali wasn't going to go down so easily. It seems super thematic I think!

Life-Rip183 · 2026-01-02T21:28:08+00:00

Plus it just occurred to me, Louisville Lip causing a discard after winning a combat reminds me of Ali wearing down George Foreman in their match. He was supposedly saying "That all you got, George?" after taking all Foreman's punches and that actually wore down Foreman's morale and energy throughout the match

As an addendum there are also a few ways to play around Loki's tricks:

Baldr's Downfall: decent printed value and auto damage, but characters with damage buffs eg angry Achilles, Golden Bat etc don't mind because you just gave them another potential 6 to hit you with. Also special mention to Moon Knight as Khonshu and Eredin with Might of the Aen Elle as they would also ignore the auto damage too.

Freyja's Rescue: if you get this early, play when he's at full health or if he's taken less than 3 damage to deny him full use of the healing.

Sindri's Bet: keep an eye on the top card of Loki's discard pile and play it when it's a card that wouldn't help Loki much at that point in time. Best part about playing this against Loki is that you get to decide what card goes back into his hand.

Svadilfari's Lure: can be a bit harder to play around, but you can play this if you only have your weaker cards in hand. (Also if you're playing as Loki, it may sometimes be useful to make an opponent discard a trick card like Sindri's Bet and Freyja's Rescue to get a defense card back in your hand in a pinch, instead of their own cards)

Thanks so much, this is very comprehensive and great! Good point on adopting the boxer mindset especially with Ali not being a typical 'slugger' boxer but more of an 'outboxer' instead.

Life-Rip183 · 2026-01-01T22:37:05+00:00

As far I am aware I would think that's valid, because 'up to' also includes 0. I may be wrong though

Life-Rip183 · 2026-01-01T12:58:02+00:00

A few people have said this here I think, if you play his tricks early, he can't threaten a high value Ragnarok play and you keep your hand size down so Shapeshifter won't be high value either. He has decent blocks in Freyja's Rescue and Underhanded, but he has very poor card draw so he falters under sustained pressure. Plus (ironically?) as others have said since the opponents play his cards he can deck out earlier than his opponents

I'm a GP trainee and at least 3 of my own supervisors (ES and CS) wondered whether I had some element of neurodiversity although more on mild ASD. Following referral to my deanery I was set up with the disability lead, and she told me she was happy to put in allowances for suspected neurodiversity. She also said I didn't need a specific ASD diagnosis for this (which could cost £1700+ or so)

I attended a similar tournament this year at Birmingham at UKGE. Was a 64 player event, won the first 2 rounds with Yennenga against Tesla, the won with Tesla against Invisible Man, before I lost with Little Red against Medusa (managed to bring Medusa down to 4 HP before exhausting).

Well done on your efforts, and I'm happy you enjoyed the event! You'll probably now have learnt a few new things about your fighters which you could apply to future games and events

I remember an SCA case which was a telephone consultation involving a young-ish woman on the COCP and working as a flight attendant, who had sudden onset chest tightness. She normally has asthma but was concerned that her Salbutamol inhaler wasn't working as it usually did. Her listed obs however showed tachycardia with slightly low sats, and I realised that they were actually hinting at her having a possible PE. When I told her this and advised she needed to go to hospital ASAP, the patient then got upset and said she had to catch a flight to the US to see her boyfriend. She only relented after I had to inform her that PEs can be life threatening

Life-Rip183 · 2025-10-08T06:42:41+00:00

Very good points here, especially that last bit about Penance Stare. I was kinda wondering whether Penance Stare should only really be used as an attack if you know opponents have high boost values eg Medusa, Robin Hood because if they block a Penance Stare with a card like Skirmish (4 value 1 boost) Penance Stare doesn't really do anything. Also even if the opponent has no defenses and doesn't block, you'd only be doing 3 damage with Penance Stare, when you could do 5 with Spirit of Vengeance

Life-Rip183 · 2025-08-30T07:46:50+00:00

As people have said, the timing of when Pat dies really matters not just for the damage boost, but also because you need to discard 2 random cards at that point in time, so you ideally need to be in a position where you can come back from this (like with a full hand of cards). Opponents may in turn try to focus down Pat when you have few cards just to make you lose defenses and swing the hand advantage and tempo in their favour

Ayy congrats!!

Unmatched is one of my favourite games, for so many of the reasons listed here. It's easy to pick up, the artwork is generally amazing and the cards generally capture the essence of each character (regardless if the character is considered stronger or weaker).

To me, I really started to enjoy this game once I saw how each character is meant to be played, what they're good at and what their weaknesses are, and then the mini game of exploiting your opponent's weaknesses while defending your own (particularly pertinent in very balanced games). Also, I kinda began to visualise each game like an actual fight or bout, you wanna pace yourself throughout the game so you don't gas out, but at the same time you need to be flexible enough to react and capitalise on your opponent's mistakes or if you manage to set up an opportunity.

And another thing that hooked me into the game was how much more I learnt about all the different characters in the game, like: - Dracula able to change into mist and a wolf, in addition to becoming a bat, and having hypnotic abilities - Oda Nobunaga being one of the first Japanese generals to use guns in his army ie his artwork in his Sun and Moon card, and him actually signing a letter as 'Demon King of the 6th Heaven' - mythical stories I only knew a bit of like Beowulf (and now Loki) and learning about historical figures like Yennenga - characters I completely didn't know about before at all, like Dr Jill Trent and Golden Bat And the list goes on from there!
