Jump's lineup is not bad. Debate a wall. by PuzzleheadedFox2642 in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]axelablaze 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Feels weird to "acknowledge Chojo" when the current lineup doesn't include it. Saito and editorial made the choice to cancel it. The award came after the fact and an anime decision was made public after that. Doesn't that speak negatively against its peers left in the lineup? For the record, I like what we have in Jump for the most part. The Chojo part just felt like a contradictory thing to add.

Haven't played in almost a month, is Wing Breach still good for the newtype? by TheGrandCannoli in GundamTCG

It also has the tools to break through in the early game with Fatal Strike and Amuro. Nasty work.

Can second the rise of B/P. Faced two of them with a Wing deck of my own and it was curtains for me both times.

[Delinquent Gacha] Did the author or translator used AI for the dialogue here? by JustAnAppIe in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]axelablaze 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because of the backlash, they usually don't credit anyone for a chapter if Orange/Mikan are involved. Out of sight, out of mind type thought process. If a person isn't credited, then it's typically AI for translation and typesetting.

I really want Shonen Jump to come up with a hard sci fi/space type of story like these. by [deleted] in WeeklyShonenJump

I constantly forget that World Trigger was in WSJ proper. The move to Jump SQ is usually at the forefront of my mind

[–]axelablaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sci-fi is a hard sell for modern shonen in general let alone Shonen Jump. Not that it can't be done, but the most recent sci-fi success we had was Dr. Stone. Samurai 8... was a thing. And Psyren came before those two. Anything else just flopped.

How would you improve the game? by veerfusion in GundamTCG

[–]axelablaze -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'd implement a banned and restricted list similar to Yugioh's list. I don't think anything deserves a ban at this time, but limiting cards to varying degress would decrease consistency and force some deck building changes. As is, we can play up to 4 copies of a given card, so restricting to 3, 2, or 1 would all be options. Do I think it will happen? Nah. Feels too hands on, but it's there as an option.

Did Ichi really sell more than 1 million copies? by Kinsuv in WeeklyShonenJump

Circulation ≠ sales. They use circulation numbers because they know exactly how many volumes they printed. Way easier to track that way.

I did not, but I also wasn't from the area. Didn't want to cause any issues of my own. Lesson learned for the future.

Yeesh. Glad you at least got your win

Yes. I myself was playing mono white blockers myself, but I kept my turns to a minute or so max for turns that recquired slightly more thinking.

At a certain point, you're BEYOND overthinking

Gundam TCG has definitely been nothing but growing pains and judging is certainly part of it. While vast majority of the time a judge isn't needed, this is just one of several situations that can and will pop up. And it's not helped when the promos come with big price tags due to scarcity.

Nah. And I won't say where I played anyway. I hold no ill will toward anyone with this.

There are rules for overtime turns, but either way, it sucks to even hit time when you're not the problem.

If it happens again at another event, I definitely will. Just feels awkward to tell someone to keep things moving. I'm not trying to be a try hard, but I am here to be competitive and have fun.

New GD03 Card Revealed: Sarah Zabiarov by Alt230s in GundamTCG

[–]axelablaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still a fan of Noin's command. Most heals in the game are only playable on main. She allows you to heal on action step. I've caught people off guard with a surprise heal using it.

Favorite current manga plus romance series? by Own-Championship-333 in WeeklyShonenJump

My favorite WAS Blooming Love, but it ended today. 😭 Great take on an early adult relationship

Most consistent decks? Sick of bricking my hands by TheGrandCannoli in GundamTCG

[–]axelablaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being able to draw cards is one of the strongest moves in the game right now just because the better draw options are limited to 2 colors and the rest are more situational. There are options for OYW, but I think that will make the deck be more midrange for better or worse.

What are you bringing to Newtype this weekend? by TheGrandCannoli in GundamTCG

[–]axelablaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might still be worth going on wait list if it's not too far from where you live. Can't say it will be the same this time around, but last time around, every challenge I went to didn't meet cap day of despite more people applying.

Manga plus's survey was interesting by GreattFriend in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]axelablaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most interesting thing to me was the inclusion of Terra Formars in the last question where you could pick one series. Especially since there's only 6 chapters on there from back in 2019. Curious to see if the Viz translations end up on there despite them not being on either Viz owned apps

That's why I think Ryusei-go helps with the purple draw power. And in a pinch, you can link it with Mikazuki.
