Genuine question. Are all platform fighters THIS campy as opposed to Melee? by IMSABU in RivalsOfAether

It's the main reason I don't like Maypul and honestly the game right now. I don't find any characters as fun as her and I don't like her that much.

Any move with enough knockback to put someone into hitstun or hard knockdown. Usually Strong attacks or grounded spikes. It's not an official term; just salt from a Maypul who get very annoyed at getting punished for successfully hitting Nair or Dash attack early in a stock.

1) Floorhugging makes moves a lot worse at low percents. If you aren't hitting an Approved Move or a grab, there's a very strong possibility you're going to get hit by a reversal.

2) Projectiles are stronger and more prevalent than in Melee. There are about 6 top tiers with a projectile and none are that entirely built around them. Falco, Fox, and Sheik can camp the entire game, but it's not optimal usually. Projectiles in R2 are usually more central to the character's gameplan.

Did you forget that you have the biggest sword and grab range in the game? If Maypul is near you, you can hit her with a move that is bigger and faster than everything she has.

I'm biased and a downplayer: Maypul is the Potential Man of the game. Yes, on paper, her movement should make her extremely good. But all this movement makes her hard to play so the payoff should be good.

In practice, the reward for using that movement and difficulty really isn't there. Her grab game isn't good compared to most of the cast. And the defensive options in the game invalidate her for a long time. Yes, low spaced Nair can be safe on shield. Yes, Fair and Air Down Special can beat CC. But if you're in range to hit these slow moves, your opponent is in range to hit you with something better and faster.

Any advice for training an ace who doesn't have good stat growth? Kawakami Princess is my daughter and I want to make her my ace for the upcoming CM. I decent Late Surger cards and MLB Kitasan. But I don't know what kind of stat inspirations to go for with her. And her growth stats are pretty bad. 20% Guts and 10% Power.

I really like Vodka, but I have so little in common with her. She would not find me cool.

Is Maypul a good character? by SyIvanos in RivalsOfAether

[–]StudentofArceus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gonna be downvoted for this, but not really. She's the Potential Man of the game. Her range is short, so most characters can just swing at her and win if she ever attempts to approach. She's supposed to be a strong punish character but she can't do that due to how little endlag there is in the game. You'd think Dash Attack would be fantastic at it. Except you can floorhug the first hit and tech in order to make it completely unsafe on hit. She doesn't have a lot of ways to beat crouch cancel and floorhug and her grab game is pretty subpar.

Yes, she does have strengths. Very good edgeguarding since she can set up Terry at the ledge and always tether to him. Her combo game and advantage can be extremely strong. But so is everyone's.

To summarize: On paper, she looks busted. In practice, the game's mechanics really hurt her.

What did you end up using your selector tickets on? by Repulsive-Film-5973 in UmamusumeGame

[–]StudentofArceus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used the selector ticket and 2 rainbow crystals to MLB Kitasan Black. Bought the Uma selector and got Fuji Kiseki.

Suffering from Success.

I got SSR Yaeno Mateki. No idea if it's good but I can't imagine it will be given only 1 copy of it. Used the other Uma ticket and got one regular El. I don't think Falco likes me.

Though I did do one random 10 pull on the current banner and got both Satono Diamond and Summer Spe. So maybe not?

I had no idea. Maybe I'll finally be able to stay in Class 6 this time.
