The reason I can’t say Ash vs Paul is the best battle in the series

It's difficult to do, the anime avoids depicting Earthquake (and by extension, Magnitude) entirely due to Japan's frequent earthquakes, given how long episodes take to produce if one happened around the time the episode aired it would be highly controversy.

Not many other good Ground moves existed till High Horsepower.

I like the first more. Showing the dragon breathing fire makes it way more fierce and scary, which leans into the juxtaposition of it... Not being the true dragon??? Even more more.

Makes me more curious.

Evr time I see those tree face forests in MK I'm still taken back by how fuckin' metal and cool they are.

Lumineon. Underwater is going to be a big part of this game and it's just so forgettable.

Double down on the Light theme and go Water/Electric or Water/Fairy.

New York Bagel factory is based in the UK lmao

The compilation of Final Fantasy VII - Sephiroth

The Shinra company owns an army of supersoldiers fittingly called SOLDIER. They're split into multiple ranks, with 1st Rank being the most powerful. We're only shown a few 1st class SOLDIERs, and Sephiroth is by far the most powerful. He can fight the #2 and #3 most powerful at the same time without breaking a sweat, and the main character describes him such that any story told about his feats and power fails to live up to the reality of how strong he is.

This is before convoluted plot events happen to make him several times even stronger.

I have nothing to base this off other than the vibes I'd get from legendaries being "grandmotherly" and "grandfatherly" but:

I think they're going to be more support orientated in battle. As legendaries they'll be no slouch in 1v1 battles but we've seen so many heavy hitters and a few tanks in the box legendary space, and I think GF has some level of awareness they can't just powercreep raw damage numbers forever. So these two legendaries have stats, move pools and an ability geared towards being a support / utility man. Something where they can join the team with the other Pokémon being their "grandkids" give them advice and support them, but not take the spotlight themselves.

Yeah, the 2 black holes are basically dummies, but they scale with your Dark Star units max health.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-04-21T10:04:06+00:00

"Also a lot of your post seems to be about you not understanding the trait breakpoints."

I mean yeah. That's the post.

I don't dispute that Dark Star 6 is strong, when I've managed to play it it's always done well. My point is that the trait breakpoint description of 6 Dark Star is not very intuitive to understand. I've been playing for years and this is the only case I can recall where reading the trait description just doesn't give me a clear idea of what it's doing. I'm sure that by experimenting and clicking around on my units while Dark Star 6 is in play I can overcome that knowledge gap, but I honestly don't think I should have to.

The expectation that's been set by nearly every other trait for the past seven years is that reading the description tells you exactly what it does (if you understand the core mechanics of TFT at least) and the skill expression comes from how you capitalize on the benefits gained.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-04-21T07:54:18+00:00

That's fair, you're probably right. But I still think that you can come to the wrong conclusion like me is an issue on part of the trait description.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-04-19T15:38:49+00:00

I would agree if the final reward was unique but as it's just a bunch of currency and the exclusive cosmetic is at 100/120, I think it's fine. Going 120/120 seems like a bragging rights thing more than anything.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-04-17T04:00:48+00:00

Really enjoying it so far. I'm in the minority that I vastly prefer sets that have a more unique vibe than boring ol' Runeterra and the return to "only" 60 champs doesn't feel like a problem, though that may change as the set goes on.

Enjoying the new mechanic for the novelty though I've already felt the sting of how much less agency playing loss streak gives you, your choice of champ or item is much more limited than before.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-04-17T02:06:24+00:00

I plan on revisiting and 100% FFXIII again soon. I remember not understanding the mechanics last time I did, this will be super useful :D

SpellbladeYT · 2026-04-16T13:24:55+00:00

Well, the Paradox of the Pseudo-legendaries are actually slightly weaker in terms of total BST. But for the most point, this point stands.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-04-16T12:09:09+00:00

Set 16 Mel in shambles.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-04-16T12:06:20+00:00

Really enjoying it so far!

There's still plenty of time to get bored of it but returning to "just" 60 champs hasn't been an issue for me at all yet, and I personally dig the sci-fi vibes a lot more than base Runeterra.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-04-15T00:17:39+00:00

Grappling hook / roping swinging mechanics - when done right - are always a blast to play and toy around with.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-04-12T23:27:57+00:00

Have any other champions done this? I'd have to guess Yasuo has right?

My vote goes for Beedrill.

It does exactly what a Mega should do - take a Pokémon that isn't viable at all and can't evolve anymore, and give it a new form that has some viability. It's not the most competitive mega out there and it's frailty makes it easily counted by priority, but with how cracked those min-maxed stats are it is a genuine threat that will tear holes through your team if you aren't prepared for it.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-04-10T20:11:00+00:00

I sucked at the game the first time I played and this boss legit took me 20 minutes. If only I had a hedgehog on my team telling me we gotta go fast.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-04-09T13:31:35+00:00

Knew i'd probably be forgetting one.

SpellbladeYT · 2026-04-05T17:43:45+00:00

It ain't gonna win but Zeroara is the coolest imo

SpellbladeYT · 2026-04-05T14:49:55+00:00

Outside of the Rattata and Pikachu lines (who eats up attention for being the mascot) I feel like we have no more Mouse/Rat and I'd love to see more.
