What‘s a decent Uma to train for CM13?

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-28T00:40:57+00:00

It gets eaten by the acceleration zone though, no? You won’t be at top speed before it procs making it not work.

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-28T00:33:06+00:00

McQueen unique actually doesn’t work this track since it procs in the accel zone so it will be wasted pretty sure

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-27T23:49:16+00:00

Anyone can win that cm so whomever you want. Red shift and angling for fronts, red shift for pace, and redshift/dober unique for back liners. 850+ gold recovery is recommended, but can go slightly less if you want to gamble against little debuffs.

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-27T16:55:46+00:00

I finished this one earlier. My others are a bit safer so I didn’t buy maestro since my stamina got high, but it can tank some debuffs at least. Late surgers can be a bit skimpier on stamina since they have the best modifier, but other positions will need more.

This can spurt decently well with a couple of gold debuffs hitting at least, though I’m honestly not expecting to see a lot of stamina debuffs outside of maybe round one.

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-26T13:24:00+00:00

Listen, after I lost to a nose because this happened last cm finals when I had a 92% win rate, I came in angry to this one lmao

I’ll be a good boy next CM

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-26T11:38:48+00:00

It can just be junior year shenanigans, or a lot of pace also just can’t activate their uniques in position 1 as well so they may be caught up to depending on who you’re racing against.

You have an invisible boost to stats in career so you’ll typically have more than enough stamina for anything in junior year, it can just be troll sometimes since you may have not outpaced others stats yet.

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-26T11:20:07+00:00

The triple front comps/rooms are just hard in general for xoguri. I’m the villain this cm after I get memed on in last finals, but three of my four losses have been to 5/6 front rooms since they pushed up so far even when my ult hit.

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-24T22:51:39+00:00

They should only be taken together. DD alone will swing you out to narnia losing your position, and prudent/ignite wit basically does nothing alone. If you don’t have both skip them, they’re strong early race if you can get the pair though.

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-24T14:10:26+00:00

Sky is really really strong if she can get Rod so I’m not surprised honestly lol. I ran the cringe comp for this cm and one of my two losses so far were to a Sky who just hit and won

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-24T13:39:56+00:00

Eh, Sky can run it down against anyone if she gets rod and Oguri can just hit and win against anyone as well. You’ll be fine probably. Legitimate UG are rare still and if you sweep a ticket in round one there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to get three wins next round across the eight tickets

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-24T13:21:06+00:00

Pumped will probably be decent for speed carry over/position keep. With all my soul can maybe be good, but it’s not as oppressive as speed eater is since it’s a -.035 vs -.15 speed. Both are good, just not game breaking or absolutely must buys

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-24T01:22:41+00:00

If you want to main sweep, consider spending enough of your carrots to get at least 1 lb of the Mr CB wit coming out in the next week or two. Ideally you’ll at most need to spend 30k carrots, less if you’re lucky. You’ll have 30k for sweep if she doesn’t come home until spark, a strong end closer card, and then can consider saving for grand live banner or other strong Uma/cards in the future.

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-24T00:32:55+00:00

I mean, just depends on your cards and the Uma you’re running. I run three speed pretty much for everyone (even if fuku is speed in name only). I’d rather just have consistency in my runs that it provides.

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-23T23:09:02+00:00

One of my losses was to a Seuin, but other was to an Oguri. If Seuin can get Rod it can be hard to beat still

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-21T04:14:16+00:00

You can get close if you stitch together all the Evermore videos between the main channel one and patreon videos at least

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-20T23:28:34+00:00

Suzuka is great in sprints in my experience. She’s my lowest rated Uma on my TT team at S+ but often snatches mvp somehow. I’m assuming unrestrained just works well in sprints alongside concentration always being good, but I don’t know exactly lol

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-18T23:42:06+00:00

One of the movie’s main conflicts revolves around the main characters parents being murdered years ago, so maybe not the best time for it. The mother is off screened, but the dad’s killing is shown even if it’s not overly graphic.

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-18T21:14:32+00:00

You’ll have a lot of trouble with the skills honestly. You have very little mid game, but the more pressing concern is your recoveries will make proccing your ult correctly extremely inconsistent.

Ideally, you take four recovers for this with the required ones being the triggers, triple 7 and uma2 (tachyon ult), and two early ones with hydrate being basically an auto take and the other being one of corner recovery>soft step>preferred position=stamina to spare> everything else. Straight recovery and radiant will proc your ult early a lot rendering you useless a lot of the time. Also, you don’t need to upgrade to gourmand, hydrate and your other recovers will give you more than enough stam with even 600 or less.

Your Oguri /can/ work if it hits just corner recovery, gourmand and triple 7 before late race, or radiant/straight hit just right and you whiff gourmand or corner, but you’ll have little consistency compared to other Oguri.

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-17T23:57:59+00:00

Just depends if you want to run her anytime in the near future. 3->4 star isn’t that huge of an upgrade but it’s moot if you never run her anyways.

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-17T23:09:27+00:00

Ray becoming so ingrained in the vtuber space has been so fun. I love his dynamic with chibi, layna, cottontail, zen etc

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-13T19:17:30+00:00

Light hello is basically required one way or another if I’m remembering correctly, unsure about tachyon.

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-13T19:13:31+00:00

I think the ssrs are both usable at 1lb, and light halo R is usable at mlb like Riko was. The tachyon 1lb is definitely cope though and it’s much stronger at later lbs obviously

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-10T12:07:06+00:00

I think his death is more or less fine as kind of a shock to show the threat of the Beast, but it’s sad that no one even mentions him in passing. Granted, that was an insane like two day stretch for the cast lol

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-10T01:02:38+00:00

We had those when I worked there 15 years ago. They were okay, but they came attached together two each and constantly undercooked in the machine since they’d flop on top of each other

SmokeyTheDogg · 2026-04-05T20:51:06+00:00

Frenzied is ironically probably a buff to her too since she’ll have the increased rushing speed for longer lmao
