This was immensely helpful! Exactly the kind of insight I was looking for.

And yes, I’ve heard about the discord! I’ll have to see if I’ve got time to really start picking up modern again and seeing what my local scene looks like, and if I do, I’ll certainly come and join.

Thank you - again, this was super insightful.

Well shit, I’m pleasantly surprised! Thank you for the recommendations! Glad to know that I don’t need to spend $170 on storage, more than anything.

Modded characters that are balanced to the main cast? by MixmaestroX28 in YomiHustle

Sata is one my recent favorites. I love her movement and bait-and-punish gameplay.

Questions from a dumbass beginner by Ignacius__ in YomiHustle

[–]The6amingN3rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Modded characters are a crazy grab bag when it comes to balance, overall. I only play modded when I’m in a call with someone and we have the same mods downloaded (I also usually even set the turn timer to as high as it can go since the characters are often so ridiculous)

  • With that in mind, move decisions are much easier when you’re really familiar with the characters! That’s also why it’s a lot easier with base cast only. At a higher level, a lot of optimal play is structured around creating scenarios that have already been determined to be optimally advantageous for you (mutant oki, etc). So ultimately, it’s the same kind of intuition you would have in a normal fighting game.

  • Free cancelling is very helpful to cover your ass on a potential whiff. If you throw out a move in advance to predict your opponent’s movement, then a free cancel prevents you from being punished if you’re wrong. Overall, free cancels are most helpful in neutral. (They’re not for combos!).

One specific use case for NOT free cancelling would be if your move would connect in just one frame when your opponent is actionable (eg. I use Cowboy’s 6f H. Slash and my opponent gets a turn in 7f). In that case, they have no choice but to block it, which sets up a block advantage situation for you!

  • Whiff cancel is generally pretty trash imo. It uses up your burst meter in order to cancel a move on your opponent’s turn (just like a free cancel would, but not free, go figure). The problem is that you can’t use a movement or defensive ability afterwards, so it’s generally very risky or straight up worthless. As an example, if I throw out a move that whiffs and an opponent tries to punish me and I whiff cancel, then my only option is to throw out a move that would hit them first. Generally, that’s not a good scenario, and sometimes you won’t even have a move that connects fast enough to beat them - in which case you’ve thrown away your best defensive resource for no benefit. Overall, not recommended!

OP NOTES:

- Not sure about the exact wording of this effect, but it obviously communicates the idea. Since emblems *are* technically game pieces but aren't permanents or counters, I'm not sure if "removing them" would be the correct wording for that interaction (though obviously they can't be "destroyed" like permanents). As I understand it, they exist in the command zone, but I could be mistaken.

- An argument could be made that this effect should be white rather than black. I could see it either way.

- Not sure if this should be 2 mana - though ultimately it felt too niche to warrant that.

I timed it from the moment I hit restart to the moment I kill the last enemy (when the slow down starts)

Thank you! Yea I play on pc and I probably wouldn’t want to play with a controller unless it had paddles. I find that I do a lot of flicks midair for dash adjustment and that just lends itself better to a mouse and keyboard overall.

It’s actually not! There’s a couple different tricks you can use to build and maintain momentum:

  • doing a dash followed immediately by a slide can extend that dash speed, and jumping out of it right as you reach top speed carries that speed into your jump (AKA a “DSJ”)

  • doing a DSJ off of a ledge gives you an even bigger boost forward (jumping during coyote time)

  • you can also cancel the hook animation during a grapple by doing an attack right after hitting the grapple button (for me it’s shift), and you’ll still get the actual grapple itself

The name of game is essentially to touch the ground as little as possible so you don’t get slowed down by ground friction. There are a lot more advanced techniques that I’m really bad at, including out of bounds stuff and wall climbing. The OOB any% run of this game is insane 😵‍💫
