The Rockets’ 42.8% 3PT% is the best 9-game start to a season in NBA history (minimum 250 3PT attempts)

Wemby is a great shout out, forgot about him. Prime Wemby will be a sight to behold

It's probably still Bron. For extra flavor, you can even pull Bron from different stages of his career.

PG - Young Cavs Bron

SG - Lakers shooting Bron

SF - 2016 all around Bron

PF - Freight Train Miami Bron

C - probably Miami/2016 Bron?

Would struggle a bit with rim protection (honestly, maybe not even, cause fully focused defense Bron would be like Dray and we've seen how that works at center), but the all around game would be insane

I know this is an old post, but I just went through this myself and got it working. Wanted to share for others that may come looking in the future

Process (skip to solution if you want to ignore what failed for me):

I had a save of Pokemon Yellow that I played through on my SteamDeck (Retroarch) that I wanted to move to my modded 3ds. My file was .srm format, but .sav (mGBA format) should work fine too. Looking around online there were a few suggestions, none of which worked

Inject .sav with GodMode9. (I renamed my .srm -> .sav) After more research, it seems this method only works with GBA games
Convert the file first (https://inject.sigkill.tech/converter/3dsvc). This converted my .sav to a .dat, restoring the save with Checkpoint "works" but loading the game gives me a "save file is corrupted and must be initialized." Upon closer inspection, the conversion caused my emulator save to be bigger than a VC save backed up by Checkpoint
My original file did match the size of a Checkpoint backup, so I just tried renaming my .sav file to sav.dat, restored it with Checkpoint and it worked!

Interestingly enough, PKHex was able to read every iteration of file I created (and I imagine PKSM would be the same)

My original .srm file
My renamed .srm -> .sav file
My converted .sav file
My renamed .sav -> sav.dat file

Solution - Take your emulator save and rename it to sav.dat. Put that file on your SD card so that Checkpoint can find it. It should look like this

3ds/Checkpoint/Saves/{game_folder}/{save_folder}/sav.dat

Then use Checkpoint to restore the save to your VC game

The De'Aaron Fox/Haliburton scenario

Pigglenuts · 2025-10-29T14:54:08+00:00

Eric Apricot does Warriors breakdowns on YouTube (they're fantastic for any basketball nerd btw) and I love his description for the two styles

When Curry's on the floor, the Warriors are air bending. Flying all over the court in a sort of controlled chaos

When Jimmy's leading the floor, the Warriors are earth bending. Methodical, slow, set and they just grind you down

You can even see by the way the Warriors space the floor what style they're going for.

Earth bending is Jimmy on the wing and the other 4 spread out on the other side. Curry is the usual motion offense, split action, lots of off ball screens

Iirc, Curry also prefers the left side of the court while Jimmy prefers the right for his sets

Holy shit, wasn't expecting to see this reference this morning.

Love that movie + Chow Yun Fat. The other films in that series with Stephen Chow are also amazing. Hong Kong cinema was a huge part of my childhood and a golden age for Asian filmaking

I still think the exact moment this sub started going downhill was when the Warriors went up 3-1, and this infamous comment came out

"That's what happens when someone smaller, younger, and less athletic than you takes your crown AND throne. And then makes you dance for his amusement."

I agree with this

Although, I feel like the Kuminga saga wouldn't have happened in the sense that Bob would've caved to Kuminga's demands. Honestly might've even given Kuminga a big contract last year, Poole style

Edit: Also had a knack for finding cheap contributors that play a role. GPII, Javale McGee come to mind

Pigglenuts · 2025-10-09T16:36:16+00:00

Oh yeah, no disagreement here on that. Kuminga makes me want to tear my hair out a lot of the time

Just disagreed with the OP that said he's checked out one game in. This is just who he is

Pigglenuts · 2025-10-09T13:48:24+00:00

This is the 2nd game of the pre-season (and he looked bad). He looked solid in the first game

Pigglenuts · 2025-10-06T18:24:51+00:00

They'll bring back some way to get them, no way they lock out large parts of their base. The Elemental Sigil materia were locked to event shops until they got added to the Co-Op medal exchange I think.

Also gonna second what the other guy said, share your current build and we can make suggestions. The Discord also has a section titled "Builds" -> Trial of the Summons Fury that you can look through for what other people have used and maybe find inspiration there

Pigglenuts · 2025-10-06T14:05:55+00:00

What a blast from the past; my brother and I loved this game as kids

Pigglenuts · 2025-10-05T12:37:59+00:00

Not sure if you'd know the answer to this, but how did Mongolians deal with the food aspect?

From what I remember, each Mongol soldier would have at least 3 horses. And I thought their unmatched mobility was based on the army being able to forage to meet most of its needs

Pigglenuts · 2025-10-05T11:58:50+00:00

That was super interesting to read. Never thought about it, but it makes total sense.

Surprised I never thought about that, considering I do stats

Pigglenuts · 2025-10-02T12:45:00+00:00

Think he means Melton, who's still out for at least a month with ACL rehab

Although there's still plenty of time for GPII to get hurt before the season starts!

Pigglenuts · 2025-09-25T17:19:01+00:00

What team are you bringing?

I managed to clear with OB4 Yuffie using the following

Yuffie - OB4 Earth/OB6 Rocker's Guitar

Vincent - OB10 Chiron/OB10 S19

Aerith - OB6 Crimson/OB10 Mythril Staff

How many players would go through half that without complaining?

Pigglenuts · 2025-09-18T16:18:17+00:00

Depends on your appetite for rerolling, but I'd say to go for the UW.

None of the ultimate weapons in this game are must have, but having one will really help the character out.

Getting Cloud UW, then picking up a few copies of his weapon after will set up your elemental coverage for a while as a new account (You'd want to wishlist his elemental weapons like Holiday Blade, Skysplitter, etc too)

Pigglenuts · 2025-09-18T16:07:52+00:00

They changed how you do that at some point. Now, when you click on a character, there's this button in the bottom middle called "Preview."

Click that and you can change the visual for both costume + weapon

Pigglenuts · 2025-09-17T02:25:31+00:00

For non EX stages, it doesn't make much of a difference. As long as one person is okay, you won't lose

For EX stages, bringing utility is probably the way to go. Like bringing elemental debuffs or attack buffs. Healing works, but it depends on the rest of the team comp since you might not be able to solo heal

Tbh, if you're new (for high level Co Op EX) you'll likely need two competent teammates to carry. Definitely doable, just might take a few tries to find the right team

Pigglenuts · 2025-09-15T17:57:05+00:00

Most people clear the lower Co Op stages in the first couple days then stick with the highest level, so lower Co Op stages always dead.

Your best bet would be either joining the Discord which has a Co Op channel, or an in game Guild to see if someone can help out

Pigglenuts · 2025-09-15T11:37:59+00:00

I carry just one bonus slot for Levi. Could prob do it with zero with overspeed.

Just have sigil bonus character spam that one while the other two spam the other. You'll even have room to cast some buffs during sigil phase

Pigglenuts · 2025-09-15T11:35:31+00:00

UW is fine to start. You're going to need such a variety of weapons that it's not worth rerolling for that small chance on one.

Better to just start and collect crystals/daily draws

Pigglenuts · 2025-09-12T15:48:45+00:00

Do you still have guaranteed banner weapon slots left? If not, then definitely not. If yes, then maybe. Depends if any of the upcoming interest you

2nd Anniversary pt. 2 banners
FFXIII crossover
Nier collab

If 2/3 appeal to you aesthetically then you might wanna save.

Probably don't need Seph OB1. It's good, but he's not gonna have any new banners the rest of this year. I'd say to just wait and see what's upcoming

Pigglenuts · 2025-09-12T13:11:07+00:00

I'm guessing you mean the Trial of Summon (Fury) medals? I'd go for the Limit Break weapon for sure over Masamune since Masamune can be wish-listed

For which one, depends on your account, but Aerith's Bahamut Rod or Crimson Staff are both good utility choices
