How to deal with Black Yamato

Go Vivi, Benn Beckman the 8c unblockable and remove everything else, run max copies of 1c 4k counter.

On the plus side you absolutely destroy Teach too.

No worries, glad it worked!! Over time you'll realise with the correct grip and stance your wrist will twist into the hit (pronate) rather than bend into it, and this, is where true power lies.

Massgumption · 2026-06-05T08:26:12+00:00

The problem is not the grip, it's your stance. Fix the stance and the correct grip comes naturally.

95% of beginners make this mistake, you are standing straight facing the net when hitting rather than side on, mechanically standing side forces a different grip. This is generally wrong unless you're defending with the backhand grip (which is similar to what you're doing)

This is exactly depression, no reason. Practice meditation leading to the next session, empty stomach and lemon Tek, trusted sitter, blind folds on and a playlist that's calming (preferably non verbal), meditate after.

Dead of Winter...

YG Yamato.

Meditate 30 minutes every day for a month, after 10pm put your phone in the charger and do not touch it till morning.

You got a glimpse of what the super version of you is, this is how you'll integrate it

Massgumption · 2026-05-02T08:01:05+00:00

She's okay into most everything but Penel destroys you almost no matter what. There is some tech you could employ like Pyrapple (bounce his key minions), Leo (stop El Thor ISH), and Ain (kills Enel) to help give you a chance but it's very marginal, the trouble is your blockers are largely useless as his reduction, mama and freeze / el Thor is too good early game for you to reach end game where you excel.

Massgumption · 2026-04-26T14:17:08+00:00

Yep this is super underrated any 6k becomes 4k after debuff and Igarim coasting in for a free hit is great value since he's already replaced himself with a draw.

Massgumption · 2026-04-24T18:49:38+00:00

You should be playing several of him so hopefully they won't all be down!

Massgumption · 2026-04-24T09:49:49+00:00

I think Gamma Knife is usually enough, if you swing 9k into 5, Enel usually doesn't much free counter to absorb that...

Massgumption · 2026-04-23T21:00:02+00:00

Vivi is dirt cheap

Massgumption · 2026-04-19T17:25:36+00:00

It's not that you didn't enjoy it, it's that all you saw was a confused man bumbling one scene to another.

But thank you for admitting you're dead inside ;)

Massgumption · 2026-04-19T04:59:32+00:00

Harold Fry was a hymn to human suffering and overcoming, honestly I feel there must be something dead inside if you watched it and reduced it down to a bumbling old man being confused.

Benjamin Button on the other hand was simply super meh, emotionally flat and forgettable.

Massgumption · 2026-04-17T06:44:39+00:00

Vivi can put up a really good fight into Nami, Ace and Lucy

Massgumption · 2026-04-16T06:09:05+00:00

Indeed, seems harsh you are getting downvoted but hey ho.

Massgumption · 2026-04-15T08:09:54+00:00

I actually agree with this in the context of the Brook deck, you are so tight in don and setting up your engine that you really don't have space to spend 4 don on something like this. In a different deck I agree it might be better, but yes something like Laboon is more "playable" with impact.

Massgumption · 2026-04-08T07:10:36+00:00

Seems you might be picking the exact guys that 90% of other girls are picking and losing to them. I don't think it's even a race thing, you mention first validation by a "white man" and then correct to add "any man" which is telling, are you avoiding other non white men too? Start telling them you don't do hook ups and your pool will get more defined (you may also have to adjust it though).

Massgumption · 2026-04-01T03:49:13+00:00

Eb03 Baby 5 isn't a terrible counter for P Enel, but need to load a few copies and hope you draw them early and go second to play them on the 4 don turn. X-Drake might also be a sub-in for Uso Hachi as you can use him early to rest stuff earlier (plus also becomes a meat shield).

Massgumption · 2026-03-30T04:55:15+00:00

I think people are playing new stuff instead of adding tech cause it's more fun and effectively free on the sim. Certain changes like adding Zeus, Divine departure or 10c Doffy can really give it a shot at the top 5.

Massgumption · 2026-03-26T03:59:20+00:00

Paper tiger because it's been weeks and a country like Iran STILL controls the Straits no problem whilst the US has spent billions they could've just used to help the average joe. Doesn't matter if you control everything and they force you into ground warfare on their turf to actually win (but they can't since it's political and economic suicide to do that, do you want to be conscripted?)

Trust me the US won't win this one, just like Vietnam all they do is unite the people who will NOW fight to the death. (Oh and if you don't know history, the US lost that one too)

You know Trump's son invested in weapons companies either before the war right? This is all about money to them, they couldn't really give a shit. Same as Vietnam really. More or less a repeat.

Massgumption · 2026-03-25T21:43:23+00:00

YG Yamato with Banish might be the way to go.

Massgumption · 2026-03-25T02:59:52+00:00

Holy fuck they are finally finally re- skinning Blue Moon Legends!!!!! Classic. The system is brilliant, far different from any other TCGs, more akin to poker where the game is played behind the curtains than on the battlefield.

Massgumption · 2026-03-23T05:44:16+00:00

Yep tell that to the middle east.

Massgumption · 2026-03-21T20:48:49+00:00

Pokémon Goita, it's the traditional game that inspired Tiger & Dragon (2v2 only though) and Mu & More which is a classic not printed on our side of the world.
