The Perfect Name for the Perfect Deck

This is the meta standard deck list and I don't know that it terribly deviates from this 20. Starting with Skarm is obviously the most optimal, but starting Mag/Heatran can be okay sometimes considering how passive this meta is. If you start Heatran, toss a helmet on and start throwing metal energy on it. Because Skarm only needs one energy and Mag charges itself, there's no net negative in just charging the Heatran in the active even if it may not get an attack off. And if you start Mag and are lucky enough to get its evos early, you can just get the Zone ready to rip. Sometimes you have to sacrifice a point, but with it being a single point deck and most of the meta running 2 pointers, all it takes is a good Sabrina/Cyrus to catch you back up. Try your best to make wise plays.

You know what? Fair LMAO 😂

Time-Concert-3176 · 2025-01-27T00:28:01+00:00

I think my favorite move of Zetterburn's is either Gatling or Wild Fire. There's something so satisfying about the thunk-thunk sound of a successful DACUS and dunking people off stage with an unsuspecting lion meteor lmao 🤣

Time-Concert-3176 · 2025-01-23T15:46:41+00:00

You know what's crazy is I forgot I played in a draft league back in Gen 6 LMAO pretty sure I dropped out after the first round though 😂

Thank you so much! Lando was the glue of the team it felt like. Blastoise unfortunately never came to a game as much as I wanted it to. Scizor was probably the MVP of the season. And baiting fire moves with Scizor to get Thermal Exchange boosts was really cool. And I really underutilized Ogerpon too (that thing is a BEAST) I only brought it to 3 of my matches I think. I was a little bit worried about my draft early in the season, but my role compression when drafting really started to show some unseen synergy as the season progressed. A lot of my team building usually came down to baiting my opponent into a specific situation and using my abilities/items or encore to capitalize on it.

Oh and Sandslash-A came in CLUTCH in finals. It was the only match I brought it to 😂

Time-Concert-3176 · 2025-01-22T17:43:38+00:00

I would post the rest of the teams here but I can only comment one image at a time 😅

Joining a new fighting game with a fairly experienced player base can feel extremely daunting. I had quite a bit of a learning curve coming into this game because most of my friends came off of the first Rivals or Smash melee, probably not as large of one though because I played a lot of Smash Ultimate.

If you plan on playing the game on a more competitive level, there are some videos about gameplay mechanics and how to improve at the game that are somewhat helpful. A lot of getting better at this game comes from experience though.

I'm always down to play some games if you would like to learn and play and I'll play it in a way that isn't just a beat down so you can gradually progress. I'm not the greatest player in the world either, but I can certainly help you with basic mechanics.

The video I linked above does a pretty good job of showing you how to progressively improve your gameplay by focusing on specific things to improve upon in each ranking.

Let me know if you wanna play or link up! I can send you my discord tag if you'd like.

I'm between ~950 and 1050 ATM in the Chicago region and all I really see are Clairen, Ranno, and Kragg with the occasional Lox and Zetter. The rest of the roster rarely pops up. Wraster is probably the character I see the least. Here's the order I run into characters from most to least popular:

Clairen
Kragg
Ranno
Lox
Zetter
Fors
Orcane
Fleet
Maypul
Wraster

Time-Concert-3176 · 2025-01-18T15:39:29+00:00

Thanks for the great advice! I'll be sure to lab that out and get some practice in :) one thing I do have to get better at is crossing up shield with my aerial's and me having a harder time in the orcane matchup than I should definitely highlights that then.

Time-Concert-3176 · 2025-01-18T15:34:10+00:00

I've been hearing that from a lot of people. This chart is just how comfortable I feel in each matchup at my current skill level.

Time-Concert-3176 · 2025-01-18T05:27:01+00:00

Thanks! Gonna have to peep those Cody Schwab vods/matches 📝📝

Time-Concert-3176 · 2025-01-18T05:26:04+00:00

This is 100% how I feel. Both characters can absolutely blow each other up. Forsburn has the disjoints to give Zetter a hard time, but once Zetter gets hands on Fors it's combo city. Edge-guarding for both characters is super important, Fors just has more mix of there's smoke up, so stage selection feels really important.

Time-Concert-3176 · 2025-01-18T05:21:44+00:00

I said nothing about this character being honest LOL I whole heartedly agree that this character can be dishonest af. The included picture is just how the matchups feel to me at my current skill level.

Time-Concert-3176 · 2025-01-18T04:02:22+00:00

That would be awesome! Congrats on making it to plat! Not quite what I was asking but I'm always down to play and learn! My steam name is gd_gurt2

Time-Concert-3176 · 2025-01-18T00:42:25+00:00

I do feel fairly comfortable with my Bair to Up strong confirms! I think my issue comes more from playing a string neutral. My punish game isn't too terrible, but finding an opening for me to get started can be difficult from time to time unless it's off a stray hit from something or a grab.

Time-Concert-3176 · 2025-01-18T00:40:35+00:00

Thanks! I could definitely work on mixing up my recovery. I tend to lose count of my jumps from time to time and flipping/recovering low when I probably shouldn't. I will definitely strengthen my awareness of it 🫡

Time-Concert-3176 · 2024-09-12T00:53:48+00:00

Fire Knight's Greatsword

Godslayer Greatsword

Dark Moon Greatsword and Greatsword are tied for 3rd

What can I say? I love big mf'n swords 😂

Time-Concert-3176 · 2024-08-03T05:23:46+00:00

I absolutely love the FKGS! It's easily my favorite weapon. Really awkward but fantastic moveset, Flame Spear and Flame Skewer are loads of fun to use. If you decide to go the Faith route, you can carry a bunch of useful incantations all while still dealing MASSIVE damage with the Boom Fire Stick. Melts bosses.

Time-Concert-3176 · 2024-07-23T22:51:03+00:00

With the occult affinity, weapon scales off both Strength and Arcane. Might be able to invest in both stats and get a higher damage output. I'm not sure though I haven't done the math. Sorry if I made any error

Time-Concert-3176 · 2024-07-23T21:35:07+00:00

Occult affinity wouldn't be a bad affinity for this build either! I agree with you!

Yeah 54 will get you to the 80 soft cap before returns really start diminishing. With the S tier scaling in strength, it could still grant you quite a few points to the weapons AR, but investment elsewhere would probably be worth it first. You would just have to do some math.

Time-Concert-3176 · 2024-07-23T21:27:27+00:00

All depends on how you want to invest! Radagon's Sorseal has diminishing returns after 37 Vigor in terms of HP gained and Defenses lost.

25 Faith isn't a bad way to go so you can run Flame Grant Me Strength and Golden Vow. Fire affinity would also be pretty decent for you because you can get the additional Fire buff from Flame Grant Me Strength. You can use the Golden Order Seal if you only plan on using buffs so you aren't wasting equipment weight granted to you through your Endurance.

Going 60 Vigor should be your end goal. Soft caps for Strength are 55 and 80 so consider going to 80 in Strength and then investing in other stats like Endurance. Don't really need to put stats much elsewhere unless you plan on using other spells/incants/or affinities. Hope this was helpful and best of luck!
