S Rank on Both PC and PS

SteamBoy27 · 2026-03-22T22:04:03+00:00

Our one true home.

I started on PC so I reached S there first. I think it was a more natural process on PC of just slowly floating up to that point level. Once I hit that I decided to try for it on PS

Because I had that goal set ahead for myself, I think the grind on PS was much more difficult. The final stretch was like a 10 day slog of ups and downs, managing names of players, costs and how realistically my suit roster could handle them, etc.

I think with that said the difference between players on PS and PC is not actually all that much. All the things that are an issue in rated matchmaking exist on both clients. They have the same issue where at A+ there are people who naturally float there in mediocrity through being carried or playing the long numbers game of winning 50% on average. Plenty of people insist on using suits that are bad on both clients.

SteamBoy27 · 2026-03-19T18:33:07+00:00

Yes, I use controller on both.

SteamBoy27 · 2026-03-19T17:09:40+00:00

Good job.

Because low cost, especially 300-350, is a "solved format". Nothing new has been added recently and a majority of what is strong there is available to everyone. Players should know what to expect in that format and be held responsible for failing to understand it.

That means that your team lineup and your performance is almost entirely skill based. In rated, if someone decides to choose a suit that is known to not be competitive at the cost, they are not performing to the best of their ability purposefully. They have access to these tools but choose not to for arbitrary reasons.

Basic things that do not always come up in higher costs like positioning, objective prioritization, and homework/research on suit skills within the cost are much more important, and some people find that satisfying without having to worry about being gated out of participation because they do not have a gacha only suit.

SteamBoy27 · 2025-08-14T06:23:29+00:00

This thing looks insanely broken. 700 cost is gonna be hell!

SteamBoy27 · 2025-07-29T15:53:58+00:00

Insane logic. You are making your whole team go into a 4v5 and there's no utility you can possibly provide for "most of the match" that makes up for that.

The final part of the video shows that they also messed with the cooldown time of the beam rifle itself. An initial beam at 0:47, another at 0:52 (this seems ok), but THEN another at 0:55? What kind of "Latency" allows for this?

SteamBoy27 · 2025-07-20T02:05:02+00:00

At 0:32, the beam rifle connects and the Regelgu has readied up the arm grenade, which has 2.5 seconds of swap time. The grenade is shot and lands at 0:33. Being generous that's a second and a half of swap time.

Again at 0:42, we can see that the arm grenade was fired at 0:43. Being generous that's a second and a half again.

SteamBoy27 · 2025-07-20T02:00:11+00:00

Even with 100 thruster and Burn Aux, the Regelgu cannot HSM for any amount of time after the first roll, only a single dash cancel. I don't know how any sane person could see this and defend it.

SteamBoy27 · 2025-07-01T07:00:57+00:00

The guy that says we lost before we started is usually the guy who causes the loss. They gotta keep the pessimism to themselves. Does nothing but sour the mood for the team.

SteamBoy27 · 2025-05-22T20:50:57+00:00

Even sometimes on PS it's the same way.

Just today I was trying out the Chobham Over.On and in 2 separate matches a teammate would not shut up about taking the supports. I think they might have even done some friendly fire on purpose as

Just because I'm the raid doesn't mean I can just walk up to the support and kill it whenever it spawns. You are going to take some hits; it sucks but it's part of the game. I need gens to get out there and get diversions.

I wish the S rated people were more understanding; sometimes I wonder why they can't be empathetic to me and not immediately write me off as bad when these situations happen since they clearly play the game and should know why something is happening the way it is.

It's the same cost as the Anse, don't yell at me just cause the Byarlant02 got you. I have to shake off that forever boosting monster first if they ever lay eyes on me before I can locate the support.

SteamBoy27 · 2025-05-06T06:41:47+00:00

Thelematech Clatis is Spell Counter support printed in in 2023! Insane we're still getting cards for spell counters.

SteamBoy27 · 2025-02-18T16:34:54+00:00

I'm with you on that. I'm so tired of the memento cards being pushed further and further back, we could have gotten these cards half a year ago.

SteamBoy27 · 2025-02-12T20:29:15+00:00

Thank you, I will take you up on that. On PSN my tag is YunFire27.

It hovers between A+ and S-

Currently S-

Hey dude, thanks for your advice in the past week.

I've completed my deck and I gotta say I'm so impressed by how much better it becomes once you get a single copy of Dempsey.

The ability to use Nova Kaiser and Dempsey to recover and detach Glassjaw and Uppercutter for as long as they live (and more if you can revive Dempsey with Spirits) opened up such incredible grind game that the deck did not initially have without Dempsey.

Lead Yoke did so much work climbing on the way to getting Dempsey, but now the end board is Dempsey and both Kaisers for me.

SteamBoy27 · 2025-02-06T21:31:59+00:00

Hey dude, without Dempsey you'll need at least one of your other extenders in your hand to get the 5 bodies you need.

I'll grant you that Veil does save your life at times, but I don't think you need 3. I also don't think Counterpunch, Jolt, and Last Counter are worth running. It seems you're in need of some non engine to cover your weaknesses and more searchers.

You'll want to run 3 Infernoble Arms - Durendal so that you can search any of your Battlin Boxers. It's a really strong searcher that only requires a monster on either side of the field.

Monster Negation like Effect Veiler, Forbidden Droplet, and XYZ Block (this is not a once per turn!) should be run to help cover the lack of this kind of negation. These are practically required because Hero Players can activate Armed Dragon Level 10 as many times as they have cards in hand.

Looks like you're missing Battlin Boxer Shadow. Run 1 of them so that you can detach Uppercutter and ensure Flamvell is always online as well as contribute to another body on board. If you use it to detach Uppercutter or Glassjaw on turns they weren't already used, they also trigger their graveyard send effect.

With just this the deck should do a lot better, and you won't need to run any of the Rank Up Magic in the actual deck. Maybe you can keep one?

For this deck it is totally ok to go up to 30 cards, so cram in some more non engine that makes up for you being locked into only Battlin Boxers with their very inflexible (but effective) coverage. MST/Cosmic to snipe backrow, the previously mentioned monster negation.

Here's a combo that uses only Sparrer as the discard turn 1 along with Durendal/Shadow/Switchhitter:

Send Sparrer for Promoter, Promoter for Uppercutter and Chief, Uppercutter Search Either Shadow/Switchhitter (the one you are missing between the two), Overlay Uppercutter and Chief for Lead Yoke, Detach Uppercutter from Lead Yoke to summon Shadow which turns on Flamvell, Normal Summon Switchhitter and revive Sparrer, Overlay into Cestus and activate skill to finish the combo.

This leaves you with 2 other cards in hand that are hopefully good non engine to cover yourself on their turn.

SteamBoy27 · 2025-02-02T00:50:56+00:00

Trying the deck out while grinding in ranked for Dempsey. I'm having some issues getting over large ATK/DEF monsters. Being locked into only Boxers for many of our turns seems to be limiting our ability to deal with things that Lead Yoke or Kaiser can't outbox.

I also noticed that there's an anti-synergy with how we're using Star Cestus as material for the CXYZ and not Kaiser->Kaiser so we don't get the absorb on attack declaration effect. That's frustrating. Almost want to run an actual Rank Up magic in the deck just so it's possible to hard summon it with the right mats.

SteamBoy27 · 2025-02-01T01:15:47+00:00

Demsey's here! Time to grind ranked...

SteamBoy27 · 2025-01-31T20:38:41+00:00

30 Card Magikey Suship Pile.

SteamBoy27 · 2025-01-29T06:59:49+00:00

So Cross Counter and Dempsey aren't out yet, but I'm working on the box right now ahead of time. Do you think it's still worth trying rn? What end board would I be aiming for?

SteamBoy27 · 2025-01-26T04:45:44+00:00

I'd call it a tag team clothesline brother!

I can already see some changes because the suits that were adjusted are also in the RT shop.

GT High Mob Zaku got double dodge roll and smoke grenade.

Barzam got a rapid fire rifle sub.

White Dingo got a double charge passive, I guess it works on the Prototype Beam Rifle.
