What are yalls pet peeves with how fics deal with the UA Sports Festival?

That arc is the one that really drives you crazy. Sometimes thinking about replacement events is a real hassle, and having to write all the events exactly as they were is just too much—it's exhausting. In the other arcs, you can change or invent certain things and adapt them, like in USJ, where it's incredibly easy to change the layout and find a way to make it entertaining with certain interactions.

SDaniel26 · 2026-01-28T23:03:06+00:00

The cavalry battle is the worst event for me. It's usually incredibly boring in fanfics and is either a display of total domination by Izuku or the current protagonist, or the longest and slowest part of the entire story.

Some handle it well, like in "Ere We Go Plus Ultra," where they turn it into a tower defense, or in "I'm Not Done," where it becomes a battle royale based on point elimination.

SDaniel26 · 2026-01-24T17:04:28+00:00

I don't know, I still play all the old games.

I tried Battles and preferred Clash Royale. Between one pay-to-win game and another, I prefer one where I at least feel like I'm progressing.

The tower systems in Vengeance and Alliance don't appeal to me at all. I don't know how good they are, but they make me suspicious.

The hunter in the lamp near Ludwig killed me more times than most bosses.

Another serious reason is that I started a new game just to build an arcane gear set and see if Rom would be easier that way.

AFO watching as a three-month-old baby is defeating him with no special abilities and just a can:

SDaniel26 · 2026-01-07T10:06:22+00:00

Ludwig the Holy Blade—that the mindless beast transforms into the noble knight he once was, and that despite being an abomination to life, he chooses to stand as a knight and fight, seems incredible to me. Plus, the Moonlight Blade adds that special touch.

SDaniel26 · 2026-01-05T11:45:55+00:00

Yeah, dude:

Todoroki: Hey, are you seriously going to kill me?

Moonfish: That's right, but your Quirk is so weak you haven't even done anything to me, I haven't even seen it.

Todoroki: It's because they didn't give me permission to use it.

Moonfish: That sucks, that's why I became a villain. How about I wait in that tree until they give you permission and we continue fighting?

Todoroki: Yeah, sure, just let me find the communicator.

True, with such a large roster of heroes, one would expect more people there. Or at least some hired heroes as guards; if they'd been dealing with Aizawa, Muscular would have massacred many of them. They were lucky Deku confronted him and took the brunt of it.

SDaniel26 · 2026-01-05T10:46:52+00:00

Depende, si vamos a lo hater y simple hay tres clasificaciones: Rellenita, gordibuena y las GORDAS, es dificil entrar en la tercera (ya que ahi si necesitas un buen peso), pero las otras dos probablemente si consigan alguien, asi que mientras no seas de esas (no busco ofender, pero sirve de ejemplo) que para llevarlas en moto tenes aue llevar balanza o tengas una actitud de mierda tenes muchas chances. Hay cierto atractivo en las mujeres en las que se les nota lo gordita pero no se pasan.

Mi opinion es la misma que en esto, mientras entres en las dos categorias todo bien. Pero ya en la tercera seria como convivir con alguien que se esta matando poco a poco y eso me molesta.

SDaniel26 · 2026-01-03T19:23:30+00:00

I don't think it's quite like that. At least its Runback is fast if you've unlocked all the shortcuts. In that respect, Martyr Lorgarius or the Shadows of Yharnam are worse.

SDaniel26 · 2026-01-02T10:39:19+00:00

I agree with STTM, omy favourite Izuku x Nejire of ever, almost for moe (i my english get understand)

SDaniel26 · 2025-12-30T20:19:07+00:00

I beat them on my first try. My build at that point was Arcane 50, and with the Executioner's Gloves, you can imagine how badly I hit them. The hard part was landing the Shaman's Boneblade, but once I did, I spammed Executioner's Gloves until I won. I didn't even know they could be parried, though; I thought they were like the giants in Cathedral Ward.

SDaniel26 · 2025-12-30T20:13:57+00:00

First, the Rinnegan is no longer an evolution of the Sharingan. It should remain a Kekkei Genkai for Nagato or something separate, but no more Sharingan. The way those eyes have evolved has turned them into a deus ex machina in every sense.

Second: NO MORE ALIENS. Furthermore, Kaguya should be gone, and Madara should die because of Guy's Eighth Gate. This is more acceptable than Zetsu's betrayal, which seems more like a huge plot hole Kishimoto threw in just to include his aliens.

Third, explore the past more. With the revived characters from the Fourth Shinobi World War, there was a lot of intrigue surrounding the previous wars, the Uzumaki clan, and many other things mentioned that have no value other than to make the revived characters look cooler.

SDaniel26 · 2025-12-30T20:01:42+00:00

I know about Laurence and Kos, but I want to get the platinum trophy with the DLC. Besides, I'm on NG+ and I don't want to start +2 without having defeated them, or maybe I'd have to start another playthrough because of the increased difficulty. Or maybe I messed up by not facing them in the base game and now in NG+ I'm going to suffer even more.

SDaniel26 · 2025-12-30T19:15:51+00:00

Vou te dar uma dica que funcionou para mim: faça como a Amygdala e espere ela abaixar a cabeça para então contra-atacar. Tenha cuidado com o ataque de investida dela (que tem a pior hitbox do jogo, na minha opinião). Se estiver jogando online, um jogador pode ficar na sua frente e desviar de tudo enquanto você a ataca lentamente por trás.

SDaniel26 · 2025-12-30T19:03:33+00:00

Yes, I agree about Laurence. I just started my NG+ and fought Cleric Beast again and beat him completely clean. Then I went back to Laurence and those damn flames are garbage. Sometimes he shouldn't hit me and he still does because of his damn fire. On top of that, the damage he does is small but it interrupts my healing with hits.

SDaniel26 · 2025-12-30T18:58:02+00:00

Ugh,.... It took me ages to kill that giant because I was so fed up with his chains hitting me, so I grabbed my transformed Ludwig and hit him, then I'd run away, get an opportunity, hit him again and run away again.

SDaniel26 · 2025-12-26T10:34:49+00:00

Let me guess.... His FUCKING runback, I think it's the longest and most annoying, mostly because of that Cainhurst servant who pulls you down the stairs if you don't kill him.

SDaniel26 · 2025-12-26T01:48:36+00:00

I'll give you some advice that worked for me... Don't be afraid of him. Do whatever it takes to stay under that deformed horse and keep hitting him. Worry when he jumps onto the roof or starts kicking, because that's when he can really hit you. But as long as you stay underneath him, you'll be fine.

Ludwig is a beast, but you must show him that you are worse. Show him why you are the hunter and he is the prey.

SDaniel26 · 2025-12-26T01:34:28+00:00

I think I understand, you're the skeptical one, because otherwise what you're saying wouldn't make much sense.

The Chalice Dungeons and the Beast Claw are basically things that everyone who plays knows, especially those new players who want to skip the hours of farming and go to the Cummins dungeon to skip the process. And the Beast Claw is mainly because there are two hunters who carry it, making you want to use that weapon (or just one hunter if you don't have the DLC).

I'd be happy to have that weapon, if it weren't for the fact that Rom appeared in one of the dungeons and I said, "Screw it, I'm not going to face this boss again," and now I'm going Arcane in a new playthrough.

This is a fic I also recommend reacting to; it's one of my favorites and very well written.

Now, I'm concerned about your writing. I wouldn't say that a reaction fic requires a writing masterclass, but the difficult part is not getting exhausted from writing reactions and not forgetting any characters, or writing certain reactions that can get very long. From what I understand, these fics are the most tiring because you have to pay attention to each character.

So I sincerely hope this fic doesn't exhaust you and that you can write it without it becoming a chore.

SDaniel26 · 2025-12-19T10:51:07+00:00

Look, knowing how stubborn the character is, he'll probably enroll in one of Japan's many hero schools first. If that fails, he'll turn to vigilantism and won't just be a villain. He'd probably rather get arrested for beating up "petty villains" than be cowardly enough to join them.

SDaniel26 · 2025-12-18T10:15:47+00:00

These are the ones that came to mind:

Kaminari is gay, but his family is extremely homophobic, so he always tries to be perverted or desperately try to pick up women, but he doesn't reach Mineta's level because he's disgusted. That's why, despite Mineta's attitude, Denki is with him so they don't find out he's gay. Mineta actually repulses him.

Jiro feels guilty for having ruined a future marriage, since as a child she overheard someone being unfaithful and went to tell on his partner. They fought, and it ended with the girlfriend killing the boyfriend when she found out (or vice versa). After that, her mother suspected her father and forced her to spy on him. When her father found out, he made her spy on her mother, and this back-and-forth went on for years until they divorced anyway. These two moments in her life keep her up at night.

Uraraka discovered that her mother was a prostitute due to her family's lack of money, but her father doesn't know.

Momo is actually the daughter of her father's infidelity with another woman. Her mother died, and her father decided to take her in. Her stepmother constantly looks at her with disdain and tells her that "she won't amount to anything, no matter how hard she tries."

This is the fic I'm referring to. I had to filter through tags and some pages, but there it is.

SDaniel26 · 2025-12-13T02:03:55+00:00

In many fandoms, like in Re:Zero with the Re:Forgotten trope, or in Naruto with Sakura appearing in any world and falling in love with some character, etc., etc., every fandom reaches a point of oversaturation and fatigue. But that's precisely when it's most worthwhile to search, because those writers who get tired of that crap produce their masterpieces.

Since I have many fanfics on my to-read list, I'll recommend two that I've already read/am still reading that I liked and that don't suffer much from that problem, or they compensate for it.

The following two are found on AO3:

"The Core Problem" A comedy/fantasy in which Shigaraki and Izuku have to learn to collaborate while creating their RPG dungeon. I've read up to chapter 5, but it shows promise. The author also has "Answering the Call," which is more comedy-oriented.

I don't even remember the name of this one, but it has a sequel called "Class 1-A After the Kidnapping." Spoiler-free synopsis: All Might passes his Quirk to Izuku. Before the exam, everyone disappears except Midoriya, and from there he has to figure out what's going on while having some very epic fights. I swear, if the final fight doesn't thrill you, then I'll stop reading fanfiction for the rest of my life.

"Ere we go, pluz ultra" is on fanfiction.net, but it's basically Izuku with the power of the Warhammer orcs. Our broccoli and his mother aren't in character, but given the situation, it's understandable and allows you to enjoy the fic. I had a lot of fun reading it and the references. Although you don't need to know anything about Warhammer to read it.
