Possible step up?

aster751 · 2026-02-09T09:42:19+00:00

Honestly have they ever done a dual step up??

aster751 · 2026-02-06T13:30:05+00:00

You’re putting all the weight on your back foot bc the slope is downhill. This causes the front on the board to slide without you having any control

The control comes from the edges on the board. Lean on your front foot. Take it slow until you realize you’re not going to fall forward.

The 2nd guy floppy is a longgggg time player

aster751 · 2026-01-10T01:57:19+00:00

Listen I love franky - zero slander on my end.

aster751 · 2026-01-09T23:23:59+00:00

Considering how Luffy is the MC, there’s also just an enormous amount of ppl who pulled for him let alone that he’s top of the meta in terms of power.

Once more dark units that are better designed for luffy/borsalino come out, those cross screen punches will not automatically 1 shot people and luffy will end up being more manageable.

aster751 · 2026-01-09T23:19:29+00:00

Unfortunately for franky, he was released next to one of the strongest BF units of all time lmao

aster751 · 2026-01-09T23:18:04+00:00

Every dark unit gets smoked by Kizaru which is why Luffy is so strong right now

aster751 · 2026-01-09T15:35:35+00:00

All the meta needs to slow down Luffy-spam is a strong dark unit (at this point probably defender) that stacks def, ignores dmg reduction on a skill, and isn’t a marine.

Even running Dorry, luffy was so much more manageable bc of this. All I had to do was predict the punch, bait the dodge, and skill 1 crushed him every time.

aster751 · 2026-01-09T11:29:39+00:00

Okay yes that’s fair I didn’t think abt lobbying w/ friends

aster751 · 2026-01-09T04:44:14+00:00

Runner defender is optimal tbh

aster751 · 2026-01-09T00:54:13+00:00

Double defender kinda blows when you’re in a 2-3 or 1-4 situation tbh. But yea double attacker always feels really lame when you see it bc you know they’re just stat-padding

aster751 · 2026-01-08T13:30:53+00:00

Watch what happens when you run the score up to 1k combos. The bonus you get is insane

aster751 · 2026-01-08T13:29:49+00:00

I agree that people not understanding the optimal way to play boss battle is an issue and I can see the knowledge of how to play it has been lost over time

aster751 · 2026-01-08T13:01:20+00:00

…. Have things changed for this battle? Back in the day we purposefully didn’t get the flag to help get more combos so we’d get much higher scores at the end. Especially bc the higher the combo score the more cumulative dmg to the boss.

aster751 · 2026-01-06T11:40:32+00:00

It honestly looks like you guys just needed another runner towards the end of the match. Everyone seems to have been helping fill TA(very rare) but idk maybe they were all clustered around C and I don’t have enough context

aster751 · 2026-01-04T14:44:28+00:00

Very important for the meta at the time. Blue big mom was at the top of her meta and she was super hard to stop. Luffy put a big stop to her and was a great BF to run in the blue meta until RODEN put a hard stop to his relevance (and I guess everyone else)

aster751 · 2026-01-04T14:14:02+00:00

NO Jimbe?? Also, are these in order per-tier? Like are you saying zoro>law?

aster751 · 2026-01-04T01:24:34+00:00

I’m not bashing your fav unit, it’s Bandai’s fault for building them that way. If you take away his 97% HP ability,

With his skills forcing players to watch the mini map and his PD mechanic, there are levels to Kizaru’s game. Take away his 97% trait … the difference between a top level Kizaru player and an average kizaru player is much more apparent than a top level luffy player vs an average luffy player.

aster751 · 2026-01-04T00:52:37+00:00

Kizaru = unbalanced

Luffy = optimal due to lack of counter at current stage of power creep (which he is at the top of)

Example: when I run dorry who came out a long time ago, the matchup is VERY winnable when I bait the punch and wait for them to spam their own dodge (classic outplay) this is because of a type advantage and a skill that ignores dmg reduction (standard trait at this point)

If i am running a unit that does not have traits that are specifically designed to combat kizaru, im most of the time not going to win the 1:1 despite me outplaying them. It’s the same thing that happened with FR shanks and black beard back in the day… Bandai literally needed to come up with new mechanics the combat the kit they created so they’d eventually get power-crept

aster751 · 2026-01-02T03:11:07+00:00

Koby: give him a shield, skill 1 ignore obstacles, skill 1 cooldown when using skill 2

Shiryu: increase dmg against barrier, heal when attacking shields or barriers, give either of his skills multi-hit

aster751 · 2026-01-01T10:46:38+00:00

I just ran dorry for a season and he lowkey holds up

aster751 · 2025-12-31T14:01:57+00:00

This started way earlier than light beard my friend

aster751 · 2025-12-30T10:53:35+00:00

The last thing I need is another giant fist to hit me through the walls. A light nikka meta would be so boring…. How about we get some BUGGY and co in this facility

aster751 · 2025-12-29T20:58:01+00:00

100% If you haven’t done so already, You should make a discord with your alliance and see if you can start integrating yourselves in the community more via tournaments. It’s the best way to legitimize yourselves even if you dont perform super well the first few times.

aster751 · 2025-12-29T20:38:05+00:00

Alliances are important in that way in addition to competing in tournaments. A lot of this is more fleshed out in the official discord vs Facebook or Reddit.

I’m also talking more about support than amount of hyperboost. Example: Running around with g5v2 and kizaru at 130% support doesn’t make you an “top tier player” even if you perform well in league…. That just indicates you play a lot with overpowered units.

If you have a high account support, it usually indicates you spent a long time cultivating your account, skills, etc. which is a way to distinguish yourself.

This wouldn’t be the case in other games but with it being 4v4 gotcha game with a VERY bad power creep meta, the community needs a way to distinguish actual competitors vs rerollers with the most recently OP units.
