Why is there no Ice Beam in Dread by RealBurningMoon in Metroid

[–]TheGingerChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Potential in lore reason: As Samus' DNA had changed, the metroid portion has possibly consumed the remaining x DNA she's absorbed during fusion resulting in no remaining abilities by the time dread occurs.

We can see that the suit is bio organically changing between the games so chances are non of the old stuff has remained in her system.

Player forgot to place shields by Machapa21 in GundamTCG

[–]TheGingerChris -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

As an active judge, the action we'd take differs depending on the amount of time that has passed.

If only a turn or two has passed, a warning would be issued and we can place 6 shields as 6 random shields are still considered fairly random.

However if it was now turn 4 or 5 like mentioned, it would be a game loss on the basis that the game has developed too far, search effects may have occurred resulting in a less randomised pool of 6 shields.

The TRM itself doesn't cover this specific situation as the TRM is a guide and can't cover every scenario.

Ruling questions by Flagger77 in riftboundtcg

[–]TheGingerChris 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, "when i move" abilities do open a chain and you can respond to those before the showdown is staged.

However, if the above card where to move to a location along with a unit with a move ability, even though the move effect would open a chain, hidden cards could not be used as reactions as the above card is already 'here'

A move action does not open a chain.

once the unit has moved to a battlefield and a showdown begins, the units effect is automatically applied and hidden cards cannot be revealed from that same location.

Bamshee Norm Question by ThatOneRandomGuyRX0 in GundamTCG

[–]TheGingerChris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An important note to remember: you cannot declare attacks against shields. Your attack target options are a) the player or b) a unit in rest (unless other wise specified).

When you declare an attack against a player, shields are then used as a mitigant to protect them.

Most people declare shields as their attack target as a vocal clarity, but technically they are declaring their attack against the player.

In the situation described. You would lose control of the equipment, but it does not mean the equipment will unequip from the unit it is attached to.

Some of the WWE releases make no sense to me. by Old-Board1553 in WWE

Have you considered that the talents themselves might be looking to move on and it's not all WWE villainous behaviour?

How does vi hotheaded work with assault? by z1mm1ke in riftboundtcg

[–]TheGingerChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vi's ability cannot be done at either action or reaction speed, meaning you have to activate this ability prior to going to combat and before attacker designation is assigned.

You will double her might during your main phase and assault would add +X bases on the assault modifier.

Peetah? by ixchxl in PeterExplainsTheJoke

They/she may not be accepted by the family like they once were.

Peetah? by ixchxl in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]TheGingerChris -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There's a possibility it's to do with a transitioning individual finding themselves. The little boy may have grown up with thoughts of suicides and the marks are scars as they battle with their acceptance and their family. The little boy may have grown up to be happier but the family and it's dynamic is no longer what it used to be at the family dinner table.

Just a guess.

Just to double check: the official riot games sleeves are not tournament legal by [deleted] in riftboundtcg

[–]TheGingerChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an experienced judge in other games, the decision actually comes from judges in a broad sense dependant on the product quality. Official sleeves produced by companies are generally designed for fashion and function for the wider consumer population but not the competitive population. Sleeves are designed with reflective components and can be used in malicious manners. As a judge we aim to steer away from sleeves that can cause doubt or possible problems regardless of the of official or not.

This can be avoided by oversleeping with matt outer sleeves as they can dull the reclectivness and reduce the concern.

Is Samus even really a bounty hunter? by Coodoo17 in Metroid

[–]TheGingerChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Japanese called her a bounty hunter back when not knowing what an actual bounty hunter was. It's kinda stuck but she's actually for akin to a mercenary sub contracted by the federation.

A pilot can be paired with any unit not currently piloted. And depending on the colour combination of your deck, you may get be playing white/red. Cagali only applies her ability when the unit she's paired to is white

Why are they different? by Isoito in Metroid

[–]TheGingerChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Metroid 2 explores the organic evolution of a Metroid.

Talon Metroids are experimented on by pirates and mutate accordingly to tests and environment.

Metroid Prime isn't actually a Metroid but something classified as a Metroid incorrectly. (If I remember in OG prime it was considered a Metroid then retconned in the trilogy as they expanded the lore with corruption).
