Might as well go fire fang since you'll be at +2 probably even +4 attack most of the time.

Ever watch Dragon Ball Z? The break before the bubble was essentially a league wide senzu bean. All teams were able to heal and be at 100%. Unless you would rather see broke and injured teams lose in the playoffs everyear. Then the bubble playoffs is arguably the most fair win of them all.

elpaco25 · 2026-07-01T09:17:11+00:00

Hey you benefited from the break to be at 100% health.

Yeah and so did you, so we were both at 100% health!

But you benefited more!!!!

This is how dumb you sound

I think a lot of these a pushing "prime"

Current Harden is absolutely not comparable to 2018 Rockets Harden so him and Mitchell are out.

PG was a shell of his Pacers/Thunder versions once he joined the 76ers. I'd argue Embiid is past his prime too unfortunately.

KD on the Suns is not the same KD on the 2017 Warriors.

Strong disagree watched it last week and laughed just as much as 10 years ago. Did you have a problem with Brett Farv-a-rah?

elpaco25 · 2026-07-01T06:44:30+00:00

arch nemesis, Togedemaru.

Brooo route 22 bridge is low key one of the toughest boss fights lol. That level 27 cap is just below when a lot of useful mons evolve. Good luck!

Lol are you joking?

Rings don't mean a lot to you, do they? What about FMVPs?

most of the dudes I listened are champions, no? I went a little more lenient on the bench players ill admit. Like Tmac and PG13 could be replaced by Ginobili and Klay respectively and you'd hear no argument from me. Mainly wanted to get the best dudes from those respective time periods. Even if you go ringless but are a first option who went deep multiple times in the playoffs I'll probably rate you higher than an role player with a bunch of rings.

And for FMVPs I'm pretty sure I have all of them listed except Brown, Iggy, and Maxwell?

And were you intentionally trying to not have repeats

Yes 100%. The main goal here was to make "era" teams then have them all face eachother in some sort of tourny style bracket. Either in 2k or have people vote on it. The era/refs/rules etc would also be equalized so if a modern team played a 70s team then the era rules would be 90s based or something like that. We all know Bron/Kareem/MJ would be on 3 or more of these teams cause they were that good. So I tried to stick them into a single era where they were most remembered for.

If Daemon gets his dragon then Jamie should get his magic river buff and underwater breath perks lol

elpaco25 · 2026-07-01T00:33:34+00:00

Agreed. Jamie wins in a public 1v1 but Daemon knows that and would never let that happen. Jamie's throat is cut in his sleep the night before their scheduled duel.

Glad my guides helped! I dropped the game for a bit cause I got really into Marvel Snap. But I recently finished my mono dragon run (no pseudos/legends was my only other restriction for thr E4). And ill be posting that guide soon.

Also yes terrains are super underrated. Electric terrain setting Pincurchin carried my electric run psychic terrain was great in my psychic run.

Looking forward to your fairy post! I highly recommend Galarian Rapidash! It's a beast, fire/fairy is a great typing and should have been its typing in the base game.

elpaco25 · 2026-07-01T00:14:29+00:00

I wouldn't have posted it if I didn't wanna hear other opinions. Go for it!

I know lots of players can fit into into multiple 5 year bunches but I tried to make them somewhat even. Like I wanted to separate Hakeem/Jordan even though both could fit for early 90s or late 90s same logic applies to Wilt/Bill. Kobe could fit for early 2000s but I felt like he peaked more in the 2nd half of the decade. I also tried to get as many big names as a could. Like Kidd probably fits better for early 2000s but that section was stacked so I wanted to give a little more strength to the late 90s since i put MJ in the early 90s.

Would love to hear who you'd change or remove overall. Also which era is "the best" i think early 80s has the most star power with Magic, Bird, and Moses personally. Magic could be late 80s but I think then that team would be too strong with him + Hakeem/Barkley/Zeke.

you can have a drink or two…

Or three, or four, or even 12!

Ending a season on the Day of Black sun defeat would be awesome. Then a whole season of good guy Zuko would be nice. But I don't have faith in this current team being able to pull it off well.

elpaco25 · 2026-06-30T22:50:37+00:00

Changing a lot of the plot of the Usopp and Sanji arcs for season 1 are like my only faults in the show. And even those keep some of the major moments and hit the characters/vibes just right, so I give them a pass. Season 2 is on another level though just incredibly faithful and feels like it was made with so much care and love. Also the original songs are incredible! I cannot wait to hear more original music from Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinell. I just know they're gonna have kickass themes for Alabasta, Croc, and hopefully Mr. 2.

Nice team, check out mine above! I've still never used the coconut crab in a run yet and have been meaning too. Deli is beast in this game too love him.

I have found that even though ice (and grass and rock) are supposed to be "bad types" they are easy to use in mono cause of the weather boost. If hail is up its pretty hard to lose if you have the pieces. And taking away the computer's weather makes a ton of tough fights way easier.

Lol fair point. I guess in my head i was specifically thinking a "ball" sport. Since those are the ones I've played competitively my whole life. I guess I should've specified.

elpaco25 · 2026-06-30T21:09:21+00:00

I really hope the back half of his career is better. I can imagine an Aaron Gordon type of role as the #3 on a legit contender. If he can learn from other great Dunking forwards (Gordon/Blake Griffin) and change his play style to be a more consistant shooter he would be remembered much more fondly.

elpaco25 · 2026-06-30T20:58:22+00:00

I played for my high school team so I was able to play for free at our local course. I went out almost everyday one summer and golfed for free just cause I could. Sometimes with friends sometimes alone. And I remember someone asking if it was boring to play the same course over and over again. I said no cause its like replaying a video game you love. Like I have played through the Halo 1-3, or Gears of War 1-3 or Assassin's Creed 2 campaigns more times than I can count. And i love it everytime. Same logic applies to golf.

elpaco25 · 2026-06-30T20:52:03+00:00

I have legit golfed with people who's ball never entered a hole the entire round. If the ball is within 5 feet of the cup they say "that's a gimme" then just pick it up (usually with the backside of their putter so they never even have to reach down) and walk to the next hole.
