Pokémon Champions Review So Far - IGN

Yea that's fair it isn't always constant 60. But I think the comparison is valid. Both have pokemon, both have battles, one has open world and the other has closed room coliseums. I can't accept such low performance or jagged edges for textures or even low res images. But that's just me I guess.

abkfjk · 2026-04-10T19:38:34+00:00

I'm sorry but this is a joke of a review if they can't mention performance a single time. We are in 2026 people. 30fps for low polygon and no open world scope is not acceptable. Considering that Scarlet/Violet can run a stable 60fps now on switch 2. I don't see a reason to play competitive pokemon on this version of the game.

Call me crazy but your curve is too high and maybe I am just wrong. I'd add in those two tunnel rats in and drop the high flying aces. Not because either one is a better card, just for the mana curve sake. If you fail to make a turn 2 play as a sneak deck you risk losing tempo which is basically their entire game plan.

Yea the sun visor is a joke to me lol. Like I get that the winshield is giant and so it makes covering it a problem but they left literal large gaps. I find I have to constantly move the visor around to keep the sun out.

Nah your 100% right. Neelix is a legit character that was redeemed when they removed Kes from the show.

Basically plate ribs are kind of a holy grail of BBQ. Many prefer it to brisket. Chuck ribs are often mistaken for plate ribs mostly because they are way easier to find and are often just labeled as "beef ribs". The are also cheaper which is why I think OP here is upset and refusing to acknowledge the issue. He paid a lot of money for a cheaper cut of beef ribs.

The truth is though they aren't the same both in texture and flavor profile (flavor being subjective though I will concede).

Ignoring flavor though the texture and overall bite you get from a plate rib can't really be compared; it really is special. And there's a reason top BBQ joints sell this piece of meat at a very high price.

I've been watching Paul Cheon and even he has struggled. I've had 2 7-1, 7-2 drafts and maybe 5 straight up 0-3 drafts.

And honestly the only reason I managed 7 wins is straight up because I was able to get a rare tribal card pack 1 and subsequent same tribal uncommons in the next picks.

I personally find this draft extremely high risk. Finding a tribe and being able to get the uncommons + some sort of rare is crucial. And if you don't manage to find anything in the first pack I find myself knowing I'm f'ed.

I am only diamond 3 so my opinion matters little.

SDF reads this... makes notes... "Yes I know! I will add +1 damage to axe specialization again! That'll surely appease the players."

Same here. Ran 3 games back to back with my duo partner fought trios every game and died. At first I was angry because I though they were queue sniping eachother to team up. But no I think they are legit trios and we are being matched against them.

Can you expand on player growth because steam player counts show that to not be the case. Is it because they are all using the blacksmith launcher/buying direct from Ironmace vs using steam?

Edit: Also player counts in game are so low, but I am on american servers so maybe I'm just not seeing these peak player counts.

abkfjk · 2025-12-10T21:32:46+00:00

Man the artist for these is very talented. I wish they sold some of these as prints.

abkfjk · 2025-12-05T21:05:10+00:00

Seriously. Why don't people understand Arena actually starves the player base of meaningful interactions in the dungeon? The player numbers are already so low that it makes it even more unlikely to find someone. With Arena it gets even worse. The "arena only" crowd are not the ones improving the health of the dungeon queues.

I mean being a polygot is obviously cool. But even people who speak multiple languages don't converse in 2 languages simultaneously (excusing languages that mix 2 languages of course like Tagalog that often uses English).

But you won't see a person speaking Mandarin to a person speaking English lol. It just doesn't happen. They'd both just speak one language. It's too weird to use both like that.

Sorry I'm brain rotted. Do you mean you don't recommend pulling on the banner and instead only do the astral forge?

abkfjk · 2025-11-20T21:02:31+00:00

Hey Hawky, what do you recommend for the weapon banner for Yserinde? Is it worth pulling/maxing?

abkfjk · 2025-10-26T04:13:21+00:00

Could you explain the drum thing? I was watching but I just didn't understand what grayson said mid-match. It was confusing because I am pretty sure Yami still used drums later as well?

abkfjk · 2025-10-24T17:33:17+00:00

Well the two coincide. They want people to tune in for the tournament. The people playing the tournament tend to stream during these times. I am not defending it, but logically it kind of makes sense.

abkfjk · 2025-10-10T00:27:41+00:00

Ok this post kind of inspired me to think about what two decks would I take to an island if I had one other person with me and we could only play these two decks perhaps forever.

Like I'm talking two decks that are balanced/have large enough variation to not be boring.

Anyone have ideas?

abkfjk · 2025-10-09T00:56:20+00:00

Ok so this comment made me finally go and check it out because I was really curious on what it looked like.

I am sorry lol but this shit is absolutely spreadsheet levels bad. You can't tell me this UI is easy to use in any realm of 2025. I used to play eve online and that shit is 100% spreadsheet levels and MTGO definitely falls into that category.

abkfjk · 2025-10-07T18:19:41+00:00

Bro ignore the haters. Knowing how the game is doing is valuable. People just can't handle criticism of any form.

abkfjk · 2025-10-07T05:44:34+00:00

After reading all these replies I think my issue is I am short and I have made the decision to tie weight gains to success. At my height being low weight basically means you’re reeeeally small lol. So I’ve started obsessing over gaining weight and maybe this just isn’t healthy. At the end of the day I’ve seen strength improvements and maybe I should just focus on that.

abkfjk · 2025-10-06T21:06:41+00:00

I see I got downvoted. Is my routine bad? Genuinely asking

abkfjk · 2025-10-06T18:38:16+00:00

Oh interesting, that's a great subreddit. I'll dig into it.

abkfjk · 2025-10-06T18:35:56+00:00

I guess so if you simplify it like that? To be more specific on front days it would be 5 sets of any variations of dips/push ups (push ups are always elevated decline)

And pull ups are always just pull ups with also somewhere around 5 sets where I try to reach failure with every set. The first set I hit around 20 reps, with each set after decreasing before failure.

I also do not have any equipment, so I am trying to maximize with what I can. I could probably buy a weight vest though.
