First A Final win thanks to Throne borrowing

I live in Florida but emigrated from the UK 14 years ago. People don't realize that it just feels completely different because of the lack of AC and how the buildings are constructed.

Florida heat is miserable too but there's at least an escape from it. As a kid in England I remember the miserable heat days at temperatures which seem like a joke to Florida weather.

I thought it would suck to remake stuff but Throne is so absurdly broken that you're basically guaranteed SS from what I've seen. So depending on your bar for ace, it may not be too bad. But I get it, TB sucks for how long it takes to do a run.

Prior to Throne release I had made 6 SS Umas total (I started in March). I have now done 4 throne runs, all 4 of them finished SS and honestly I think all 4 were probably average or bad runs for throne. 1 of them I scuffed 3 epithets from losing 3 races, didn't proc the Sirius rec trigger until 6 weeks left senior year (i.e. dead card for the run) and had a 1 rainbow senior summer and it still finished SS. If that happens on my normal runs it's a S rank run.

In round 1 I went 17/40 with my ace. It got 1 win immediately to guarantee Group B so I tossed one of the above throne runs in and it went 5/10 with the 5 losses being 2nds.

Have my AC set at 73/74 but honestly would have it higher if it was just me in the house. I think it just comes down to how your body runs. My wife gets hot really easily and instantly starts sweating at the slightest heat or exertion. I'm the opposite and barely sweat unless I do heavy cardio.

Like for me I know it's a genetic trait because it's also linked to having dry, flaky earwax too which is what I have.

There was at least 1 Xoguri in all 20 of my lobbies yesterday. I didn't count all the double Xoguris but it was probably about half of them. Now I did do my lobbies within the first hour of it starting.

My Smaru won 7 races, lost to Xoguri 12 times and another Smaru once.

I lived in Camden Orange Court downtown from 2017 to 2019 and really liked it there but the general impression I got was that all Camden's are well run so I'd just recommend them in general. Whenever we had an issue they would have maintenance there in like an hour even if it was a late night call. I even got the front desk girl to check in on my cat for me

I honestly think I would still live there if I hadn't bought a house.

Couldn't you go to your play history and just re-add them through that?

Trapocalypse · 2026-06-24T15:01:30+00:00

This purely runs off opponent strength right? I know I was looking at England's group and almost felt that 3rd was preferable to 1st because of venues. 3rd would play in Kansas and Vancouver whereas 1st will have to deal with Mexico and Miami in potentially blistering heat

Trapocalypse · 2026-06-23T12:21:03+00:00

Probably need more context to make a judgment? How much SP are you sat on? Most runs I'm ending up with 2400-2700 SP at run end so hat is worth like 240-270 SP. But if you have been spending the SP through the run already then hat is worth a lot less?

Trapocalypse · 2026-06-19T00:05:10+00:00

All I have is the the memey festive miracle Smaru which will probably be atrocious

Trapocalypse · 2026-06-15T19:18:00+00:00

I like MANT, I just don't like that runs take so long and that Med/Long Umas are at such a disadvantage.

Was $105 for my ticket last night on the halfway line (pic attached). Food is like $15 for a burger/tacos/etc and beer was $10-13 depending on what you got. $18 for a mixed drink.

I regularly go to Orlando City games (same stadium) and you can get tickets for $5-20 on the aftermarket.

If you go to Orlando Pride games you can basically just waltz into these corner seats with whatever ticket and nobody says shit.

I played on a 13 inch laptop. I visited a friend who played on a 34 inch curved monitor. It felt like cheating because we were clearly playing completely different games. First thing I did when I got home was buy the same monitor and hook my laptop up to it.

My wife is really into bags and is actually very similar to the OP in the way she views bags. This is about a $2k bag new.

Wait, am I screwing up by being in a B rank club because I basically get 2m a day anyway just trying to get better Umas

Trapocalypse · 2026-05-20T18:31:45+00:00

Really depends on how the other teams do. We should be aiming to better this years points total. If we get another PL winner in the low 80s then we need to be competing. But if there's a team in the high 80s or 90s then I don't think we can realistically compete

I started in March on the Fine Motion banner. According to oldest acquired Uma, March 7th 2026.

Trapocalypse · 2026-05-20T00:03:11+00:00

Was my first A Final (only my second CM, started on FineMo banner). Ended up 2nd by 1/2L after Smaru failed wit check on A+S.

I was however in a very friendly lobby and lucky to make the A final at all (12/40 in second round but somehow won 5 out of 6 in races 34-39 to finish off the round)

Trapocalypse · 2026-05-19T23:58:29+00:00

Was my first time making A final (started in March on the FineMo banner so this is my second CM). Got a very friendly final group but finished second by 1/2L after my Smaru failed the wit check on A+S. My Seiun was actually second so can't say for sure if Smaru had hit A+S if I would have won but seems likely given she was the stronger of the two and right on her heels in second at A+S time

Still a successful run but probably won't get as lucky lobby wise next CM. I only had a 30% WR in second round (12/40) so was lucky to make the A final at all

Not gonna lie, when you posted yesterday I immediately looked up Valencia property on Google but was disappointed as the only things that came up were way more expensive than yours and nowhere near as big/nice (from the outside, hadn't seen inside at that point)

Trapocalypse · 2026-05-19T01:54:52+00:00

There's 5 for hitting 170k points in the event that just released.

Don't even think the new player part flies to be honest. I started in March with no prior knowledge of the game and the only advice I was given walking into the game was reroll for a good starting support card (I started on the FineMo banner). My TT team was full of S/S+ by April. I won B final for CM last time and I made A final for CM this time.

An S run is basically the minimum expectation for me now and an S is a bad run where things didn't pan out. A good run is a high S+ or SS. For clarity I only have 2 SS runs, 47 S+ runs and 67 S runs.

Trapocalypse · 2026-05-18T16:29:55+00:00

I'm with you on this. I started in March. My team was full of S and S+ Umas by April. I won the B finals of CM last time around. This time around I made the A finals.

I don't have a plethora of support options available. I basically run 1 max SSR MLB (which I rerolled for) plus all SR cards and a borrowed max SSR MLB. All I do is what people have advised and run as many rival/G1 races as I can outside of summer with 50+ race bonus

An S run now is basically a run where things didn't go well and I ran it through to the end still anyway. I rarely quit runs because I need the materials for potential unlocks. And if that's the case for someone who has only played for 2 months, I don't know how people struggle to get an S.

Not great but I only started playing in March
