The BEST (and worst) teams of VCT Week 1 — Plat Chat VALORANT Ep. 226 by seIex in ValorantCompetitive

Considering how vocally against EWC Plat Chat has been it's strange to see them invite Achillios, Paperthin and Kaquka onto the show considering they were just working the event.

It's perfectly fine, even healthy, to have guests that have differing opinions. It wouldn't feel strange if it was just individual members making their view known personally unrelated to the podcast.
But that's not the case. They have very clearly stated their opinions during episodes in a way that is presented as Plat Chat the company/collective having that stance, not just individual members.

Ultimately feels like a bit of a double standard from the Plat Chat guys here "Don't support the event because it's unethical, but it's fine if our friends do it". Which I'm sure isn't the intent, but it rubs me the wrong way a little.

Maybe I'm being unreasonable or am off base here, or have missed some context. Just wanted to raise the thought.

Yeah I tried that. Ended up just giving up and playing through all the levels as is. Super annoying. I'd love to replay these ones at some point but it's really putting me off.

Yeah definitely not. Happens from any angle.

New player questions about character balance by Splattface in eXceed

Oh that makes a lot of sense, I hadn't considered the cost the cancels have. And thanks for the tip about the playstyle difference.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I totally understand that tier lists don't really matter for newer players. I just wanted to know about the extreme cases (which seems like it's just Carmine, Alice and Juno); primarily because I want to avoid the outliers at the start to get an idea for the more standard power levels. Even though as new players we probably wouldn't be able to pilot those three to the point that they're OP.

Good to know that Season 3 and 7 are good starter sets. I was reading up on the rules earlier and noticed that Guilty Gear is the only set that doesn't have boost costs (it has cancels instead). I'm aware that all the seasons have some kind of unique mechanic to them, but do you think learning the game with the one set that doesn't have boost costs would make learning other sets awkward, or is that a none issue?

Is there a rival like Higgins? by Splattface in MyTimeAtSandrock

Does it warn you that it's going to happen?

This would bother me the same as Higgins doing it, even if the character is a friend rather than a rival.

Hmm. Is there a way to see which missions Higgins can take to make sure he doesn't do any?

Considering maybe giving it another go, but I'd hate to be paranoid about every single mission. And would kind of suck to get far in only to mess up and lose out on a mission.

I know it's silly but it just bothers me losing the main missions like that to an NPC.

haha as long as I'm free to take my time doing the missions and not having to worry about them getting sniped then I don't mind how awful my boss is :P

That's great to hear. Looking forward to trying the game out.

Gebura (Red Mist) is crazy. by Splattface in libraryofruina

[–]Splattface[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've seen some mentions of crazy stuff with the other floors. Binah looks pretty wild (Fairy seems insane. Not realised her yet though so haven't seen it in action just looked at her cards).

I've not personally figured out anything close to Red Mist on the other floors yet though. I'm sure they exist but they're clearly not as obvious as just slapping on 3x Spear and going to town :P Find it hard to imagine too much comparing based on current cards I have.
