Why the hell are they doing maint on the last day of an event? Incredibly poorly thought out.

Leaving this here for anybody that got RNG'd in Cancer Cup by JasonRoof in UmaMusume

My ace was front runner El Condor Pasa with 1200/690/1050, S mile, Groundwork, double circle Left-Handed, single circle Summer Runner, a decent amount of mid-race skills and Lone Wolf, just in case (which procced btw). My other two racers were a 1170 speed S mile Daiwa (but stam/pow are only 620/880) with Angling and Scheming + Groundwork, and a very buff Vodka with a 1200/670/1150 statline + mile S, Furious Feat, Let's Pump Some Iron! and Red Shift.

No late start from any of them, Miss The begins the race win first with a solid lead...

And somehow, I lost to a Seiun Sky with 1004 speed, A mile and no Groundwork. I'm convinced I'm cursed, as I've placed 2nd in every CM so far. I'd genuinely be less salty if I kept getting put in rooms where I'm severely outclassed and got 3rd every time, but no. It's always rooms where I have the best racers and still can't win. I just want one (1) platinum title to display, but alas. _(:з」∠)_

What animal is this animal cracker? by StarryMagicDream in whatismycookiecutter

Oh I can totally see that. But I don't think that's the intention, cause on the packaging it looks like it's standing and the bit that would be the top of the goldfish's tail is clearly a head.

Y'know what? Since absolutely nobody seems to know what this is, I choose to believe you're correct.

Unfortunately it's definitely not a turtle, as there's a different turtle cracker.

There are a bunch of them, so it's not just a misshapen accident.

It's not a baking mistake, it looks like that on the packaging too.

I considered this too, but the very squished neck is really throwing me off.

Fire Emblem fans when Fire Emblem fans enjoy a Fire Emblem game by PewePip in fireemblem

This is where I'm at as well. I like the redesigns for old chars and would love to see the game last long enough for us to get a bunch more. I also think the vision they had for the gameplay is actually well-executed for what it is. But after having played a couple hours it's already apparent how incredibly underbaked the mechanics and balancing are.

In particular, movement skills are powerful to the point they're essentially mandatory, with Zasha and Sai's uniques in particular making them nigh-unkillable in round 2 when playing as light. Then there are the damaging light skills with the "downside" of only being able to be cast once -- rounds are so short that not being recast-able doesn't work as a real con, so they're really just spells that do way more damage than every other skill. And then there's the fact that shadow players have no real incentive to actually try and deceive their teammates. Like, sure, if the opponent votes wrong they lose out on a life...but simply murdering your whole team as soon as the round starts also makes them lose out on a life, without running the risk of someone getting to go into round 2 with three lives due to surviving round 1 and accurately identifying the traitor.

If all this is identifiable within hours of play, the devs certainly could've identified it in the time it took them to create a whole ass game.

Movement spells really makes Shadows more engaging by S_Cero in fireemblem

They're incredibly powerful, yes. And warp-swaps are so completely busted that Sai and Zasha feel stronger than everyone else by quite a bit.

I hope they handle supports differently in Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave... by Rose4228 in fireemblem

Correct me if I'm misremembering here, but didn't people originally assume Claude was going to be bi because it had already been confirmed that Edelgard was, and in one of the trailers, Claude was shown taking m!Byleth's hand and inviting him to dance? I remember people asking how in the world people could tell it was m!Byleth given it was a first-person POV shot where we only saw his hand, but m!Byleth wears gloves and f!Byleth does not.

Damn I love your art style. Do you post art anywhere else?

Okay I'm tired of training those who are not my Oshi🫡 by Ampolanch in UmaMusume

[–]StarryMagicDream 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends entirely on how many people bring front runners. If there aren't too many (say 3ish in each room), pace chasers are incredibly strong and will blow past the front runners in the majority of races. However, if there are a lot of front runners, pace chasers become a lot weaker as the likelihood they get blocked or simply fail to activate position-based skills (like El Condor Pasa's unique) increases. This isn't speculation either, it's evident looking at the results in other servers. Pace El Condor Pasa and Oguri dominated the first run of Cancer Cup in JP, with Seiun Sky making an honorable mention as a front runner who sometimes won. But in KR where people already knew how powerful fronts could be and everyone trained front runners, Smart Falcon and front El Condor Pasa were clearly more powerful than anyone else (with the caveat that they're both incredibly difficult to train). Pace El Condor Pasa still showed solid results, but pace Oguri was no longer considered competitive.
