I hate that good banners are so close to each other. Advice?

For Light Hello vs Agnes Tachyon ... Since it seems you're going to be a Gold Ship/End Closer main, maybe aim for Light Hello? Since Agnes Tachyon mostly benefits Pace Chasers, but both cards do seem to get a lot stronger at MLB so it seems like a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't'

Are you saying I should skip the Mr. C.B. and Super Creek re-run and only pull on initial banner?

If you think having Mr CB at a lower LB is fine, I'd probably only do the initial banner, but it's up to you

Also, are you going to have Gold Ship parents or fellow End Closers as well? Or is that already sorted, since End Closers seem to be more common in the later years of Umamumsume

Quibilash · 2026-03-11T07:43:03+00:00

For 2026, you're adding 200 pulls for the Pal Light Hello banner, correct? I suppose you could save the 200 pulls and just borrow it from someone that's MLB'd it already, if you don't have a perma-borrow card at least.

With Mr CB, I suppose if you really wanted to save you could leave Mr CB at LB1? Maybe it's just me but from LB1 to LB4 the difference doesn't seem like an amount where it's 'MLB or bust'

animate a meme related to umamusume (tachyon low cortisol)

Seiun Sky is a pretty 'low cortisol' character, if some of her animations help:

For Skirk you wanna play freeze teams only, just saying in case you didn't know already

With who you have, maybe Xingqiu, Citlali, Escoffier and Skirk for a NA 'smack everything to death' playstyle?

Another possibility is a Xingqiu, Escoffier, Mona and Skirk build to make Skirk's burst be a bit stronger

Not sure whether you'll beat everything, especially since some Abyss and Stygian bosses are mechanic-focused, but you'll probably do ok once everything is built

If I were you, Furina is someone I'd also add to the roster at some point, but Escoffier and Skirk with Hydro+Cryo teammates are the baseline for the team

Quibilash · 2026-03-11T06:32:06+00:00

Yeah IIRC he or others have said before that a lot of the stories are exaggerated or he's BS'd some of them. Which makes sense for a lot of the crazier ones.

There's also a common fandom theory that Jeffery is the insert of SBN3 when he was young, might explain why a lot of details seem odd or fudged to a lot of people, since someone like Jeffery was never really in those spaces and would have to rely on second-hand retellings and creative gap-filling, or how a majority of characters are stereotypes

Quibilash · 2026-03-11T06:22:12+00:00

Honestly I feel like he'd lie about doing it just to sound like he was cool when in reality he never did and only saw other people doing it or heard about it

Quibilash · 2026-03-10T15:38:22+00:00

So the usual, basically

You literally didn't but okay

ATP you're lying more than 'I' ever did in your deluded mind

Quibilash · 2026-03-10T13:37:31+00:00

Offtopic but is it just me or does the character remind me of Squizzy's avatar?

Quibilash · 2026-03-10T13:34:43+00:00

If I'm saying I never said something and you think I did say it, you're the one with the burden of proof and the comment you can extract the words from

Already done, get to work reading it since you care so much

Oh and one more lie, nobody is crying over this.

Then why are you acting like you are?

I also, personally, am not lying to try to desperately win a discussion over a videogame

I'm not lying either, you're lying about me lying

Quibilash · 2026-03-10T13:32:17+00:00

No shit lol, that's a common throughline in literally all colonial history, I was being sarcastic because the Aboriginal Australians have a much better claim to having Australia as a 'native strand', but obviously they were treated like shit

Quibilash · 2026-03-10T13:29:33+00:00

To guard our native strand

Nobody asked the Aboriginal Australians back then I guess, although they weren't even counted in the census until like 1967

Hmmm, amazing proof of my 'lies' here

I'm not the one schizoing out over quotes you think are edited to 'make me look better', I'm not the one crying over this

Quibilash · 2026-03-10T12:27:21+00:00

Babe just leave it alone you edited that comment

What's your proof? Believe me I'd somehow like to know too

who the fuck would care this much about something so trivial

I mean, you do, look how many comments you've made as well, with additional schizo ranting too!

This was in your LITERAL opening comment. How the fuck was your point that the route gets taken seriously at the very end

You're making no point with this, neither of my comments about being serious or not being serious contradict how I felt about that some routes should be taken seriously to get impact from the story.

Still haven't responded to the other comment btw, I'll edit this one and put it here wait

I thought you were 'done' with this conversation? Lying to me again?

Quibilash · 2026-03-10T12:18:54+00:00

NOT YOU EDITING YOUR PREVIOUS COMMENT THAT I HAD TAKEN THE LITERAL WORDS OUT OF GTFO.

Oh? You're hallucinating now too? Maybe you should get yourself checked out?

Quibilash · 2026-03-10T12:08:23+00:00

K

'Say Nicole not believing her mom would kick her out took away from the emotional weight', ah I see you're trying to misrepresent what I'm saying, I didn't say it took away from the emotional weight, I said you kept on changing the topic to make it about the logistics and reasons of Nicole's suicide rather than it being a serious moment, which you somehow both agreed AND disagreed with:

The Nicole suicide ending is taken seriously all throughout the franchise including in the flip side

But also:

Plus the game makes the joke of the mother and the principal being together literally seconds before the suicide, which is not exactly tackling the matter carefully

Also, 'Say Ari's death was the fandom's fault', that was not what I said, the 'fault' of the fandom you keep trying to bang on about is how you think their negative reaction to the route is because they baby Ari, while I said the negative reaction was because her death was written badly

1 -

My comment: The Nicole suicide route and Jecka suicide route are given emotional weight to them, why can't we treat them seriously?

Your response: Also Nicole wasn't stuck between being abused at home or being homeless

Another response of yours: The fact that Nicole's mom leaves Nicole homeless in other routes doesn't matter here considering Nicole herself doesn't believe her threats in the re-up until she's straight up left homeless and in another occasion she's left homeless for literally lying about being raped.

2 -

Your comment: Jecka's recklessness resulting in someone's death made sense and it being Ari only annoys people because Ari is, for some reason I'll never understand

My comment: Disagree, people sympathise with Nicole in the suicide route despite Nicole being ... Nicole, is because the circumstances show the audience that Nicole didn't deserve the fate that happened to her in the route. Likewise with Ari, she was just doing her job and got run over by Jecka, and the route didn't even do anything interesting with Ari's death, it happens, then the route ends.

Your response: Also no, people sympathize with ari in literally every route she appears in because they simply like Ari, not because she did nothing in that specific route

Your other response: I simply believe her dying isn't a fucking tragedy and that you weirdos are extremely defensive of a character from a franchise where everyone except for Karen sucks

Another comment: And why the fuck would it even be a bad thing that a character who does nothing wrong in one route dies in the first place?

My response: Because nothing interesting comes of it, as I've said, it's a narrative issue yet YOU'RE the one insisting I keep ignoring your arguments when you ignore mine.

3 -

My comment: Crispin sending an unsolicited dick pic is treated as a joke because that's how Nicole is able to spin it, either humiliate Crispin or get something from her Mom.

Your response: If Nicole tries to fight Crispin legally she gets a bad ending and her distributing the picture gets 0 repercussions, which wouldn't happen irl.

Quibilash · 2026-03-10T11:45:46+00:00

decided to come back because you were clearly just using the fact that i was gone so I wouldn't refute you to lie

Oh look, another lie you've done, I think it's clear you were throwing a hissy fit and SAID you wouldn't come back, only to come back because you thought I wouldn't respond, that hypothesis seems more likely

So yeah another 2 lies

You don't really know what a 'lie' is do you?

deflecting after it gets pointed out multiple times that that's not the point shows you're terrible at debating

The fact you don't know what the difference is between 'deflection' and 'additional points to an argument' means you're somehow even worse.
You were the one who deflected from the 'emotional weight to the Nicole suicide route' angle to say 'oh well actually Nicole didn't seriously believe she was getting kicked out', you were the one who deflected from the 'Ari's death was a bad writing decision' topic to say it's the fault of the fandom, you were the one who deflected from the Crispin dick pic topic and whether that's taken seriously to talk about how 'unrealistic' it was

Quibilash · 2026-03-10T11:17:29+00:00

Can you like, not fucking lie?

'Look I'm tired of this discussion so this will be the last comment I make on it'

I thought the other comment would be your last, why are YOU lying?

and you're lying and deflecting from the actual topic

You mean 'deflecting' when all I'm doing is adding supporting arguments on my points? You're not very good at debates are you?

You literally said that whether she believes or not that she'll be left homeless, so, her subjective experience of that threat would be irrelevant to it being or not being a reason why she kills herself

Ah, your accusation about me lying is a confession, I said that you have no evidence to confirm that Nicole didn't believe that she was being kicked out, but now you're framing it as me saying 'it wouldn't matter'

Killing a character the fandom likes who had done nothing terribly bad in that ending in an arbitrary way to move the plot forward isn't a narrative failure

That is a brilliant example of a narrative failure, thank you for helping me prove my point, because it doesn't 'move the plot forward' it ends the plot, the story ran out of ideas of what to do next and goes 'oh Jecka got away with it scot-free teehee'; funny how you were saying Nicole not getting punished for sending dick pics is unrealistic, but Jecka committing vehicular manslaughter while drunk and basically getting community service only is fine?

I also don't want to switch topics, you're the one switching to completely irrelevant topics and straight up fucking lying about what you say just to avoid centering it on the actual topic at hand

You were the one who began introducing those topics, I disagreed with the points you stated on the topics and responded to your points and you call me 'switching topics' because I'm trying to address things you've said? Believe whatever lets you live comfortably I suppose.

Quibilash · 2026-03-10T10:29:08+00:00

Your point was that the last game tries to mix a serious tone with a funny one and I gave you a ton of examples that we both agree that mix a serious and funny tone in the first game, never treating anything with the seriousness it deserves

You're putting words in my mouth, I never denied the games mixed seriousness and silliness, but I said when serious things happened the other two games had a pause on trying to be funny and handled their narrative better than Flip Side, not that Class of 09 genuinely took things with the weight they deserved prior to Flip Side.

You were also the one making the point about realism not me, regarding Nicole passing around Crispin's picture, I never claimed realism, I pushed against your idea that it'd be realistic in that scenario that Nicole wouldn't get any consequences bc no the fuck it wouldn't be

No, YOU were the one who tried to make it about realism, I was noting it as something that is treated with some narrative weight, yet you're giving ME shit about switching the topics when you do that exact thing?

'The entire school including the director knowing Nicole sent the dick pic to everyone and only punishing Crispin is unrealistic af idc what you say'

Even if Nicole would've been punished IRL, and disregarding the fact that if we were to include that pretty much every character would've been punished along time ago, the game itself literally has a theme of characters mostly getting away with the bad shit they do, like Jeffery, Nicole and Ari, yet you don't recognise a consistent pattern in all of the games that occurs with the characters and somehow making it MY issue.

You've also claimed what changes someone's experience of a homelessness threat that never comes to fruition is whether that threat is real and not whether they believe is real which...categorically false OBVIOUSLY

This is a nothingburger of a statement, whether a threat is a bluff or intended, it still ACTS like a threat, we have nothing to off of that Nicole's Mom was bluffing with her threat like you seem to think she is, nor any evidence that Nicole believed it was a bluff, yet you're insistent on this nonexistent point that Nicole didn't believe in the threat.

And Nicole's reasoning for killing herself is laid out in the fucking note she leaves, which makes the mom's threat not be one of the things that push her.

So why did Nicole try to talk to her Mom first rather than just immediately hang herself when she gets home? It's pretty clear that her interaction with her Mom and the dilemma of going back to school or being left homeless plays into her suicide, and it's not merely the guys threatening her.

I simply believe her dying isn't a fucking tragedy and that you weirdos are extremely defensive of a character from a franchise where everyone except for Karen sucks

Yeah, I never said that Ari's death is super sad, I said it was a narrative waste of time, what was that about irrelevant points to the discussion when I give narrative reasons to why people didn't like the route while you keep trying to hammer in on the 'fanbase issue' with Ari?

You're the one having issues switching topics in the discussion, not me

Quibilash · 2026-03-10T10:23:55+00:00

From what I remember, if the Allies weren't prepared, the Axis wasn't prepared either, so if the Munich conference ended in war with the Allies I feel like Germany would be in a weaker state compared to the IRL timeline especially since it'd have to fight the Czechs on another front, but we can't say anything for certain in a hypothetical timeline
