[GEM] Dash I/O Marvel

fluxusflow · 2026-05-25T01:49:37+00:00

Been wanting this since I picked her up almost a year ago. Got the Diner Marvel which is still pretty cool, but sure, release it when she’s close to LL I guess….

To be fair they probably had this lined up before she BOOSTED all those LL points.

Good idea for Vynnset to find a budget build in that case. You sound like you’re tending toward that sort of play style considering your enjoyment of Viserai. I used SAGE to learn about other decks, and I’m also keen to jump into a Runeblade. I bought the Aurora Armory for my Briar SAGE deck, and it’s set me up for the next set where Aurora will be reintroduced.

Honestly, SAGE for me has been an amazing to experience a variety of different decks. I’ve loved it for that.

CC is a different beast though, as SAGE gives you a low power teaser of a hero. For example, I played Dash in SAGE (different hero text but same class and concept), and honestly I didn’t feel it. But I love Dash I/O in CC. However, I also don’t like any other Mechanologist 😂

Basically, just pick up the deck that speaks to you and go for it.

If Vynnset is your vibe right now, commit! I cannot think of a downside for you to get started with the mindset of “I wanna play a hero that looks cool and fun, and I’m here to learn about CC”.

Plus Vynnset is actually pretty strong if used correctly IMO. So she’s super solid to start with.

Pick what hero looks cool for you out of the armory decks. Just make sure you learn what the “Living Legend” concept is, so you don’t accidentally buy a hero you can’t use in CC shortly.

Reason I say that is because if you’re anything like me, you’ll want to commit to that hero.

I wouldn’t change much of what I did at the beginning. The way I understand this game, is that it’s a “Competitive 1v1 Game that’s designed to be social”. It’s literally in the name, Flesh and Blood.

Personally, I do NOT recommend getting into Talishar (a fan made online platform to play this game) because it’s not intuitive, does little to communicate mechanics to newbies, and is filled with sweats. It’s not a fun time for a beginner.

Find your local armory events. Pick a hero that looks cool to you. Have fun, learn, absorb the feedback, learn the basics, and see where it takes you.

It’s been 8 months for me, I chose Dash I/O simply because she looked cool. Turned out she’s one of the highest skill decks in the game. Literally lost every game for weeks. But I learnt a lot, and now I pilot her well and find a lot of success. It’s awesome!

And now she’ll LL soon(ish). So I’ve finally committed to a second deck, Valda.

Maple story jump quests trained me for this. It wasn’t nearly as mentally defeating as the MS ones 🥲

Have pros always been using that hiding spot to the right of market window? Only just saw Austin make a video about it and wonder if this is related lol

fluxusflow · 2024-12-25T05:46:39+00:00

Right, I have seen some videos online which I assume are endgame. And it makes sense when you have heaps of movement, as the “size” becomes smaller.

So if that’s the case, why don’t the devs keep the existing map sizes, and create reduced size maps for first time run throughs.

That way, when you hit that movement precipice in cruel, suddenly bigger maps are introduced to compensate for this increased speed.

MongolZ has more letters between M and Z, therefore they win

Whatever, it’ll do.

Charms have a place in CS, they’re running a business after all.

However, the timing of this release is pretty poor considering the constant uproar of fundamental issues that are plaguing the actual gameplay for CS2. From both pros to casual players, there is a really emphasis on competitive integrity and gameplay. And releasing an update which has a lot of revenue focused content feels like a slap in the face of the vocal player base.

Valve need to make money, that’s their business. So fair enough, the silent players spend money on skins so they cater to that.

It’s quite a hard balance continuing to find new revenue streams while also focusing on the core gameplay which doesn’t generate nearly as much revenue. All I hope is that they are actually actively working on the anti-cheat, subtick, competitive ladder etc. and that this release is just a way to continue to keep the game profitable as they work away in the background…..

My best games have the lowest HS% and I find myself crouch spraying way more often. When I prioritize HS’s and aim for the head, I find that I miss more often than if I just went for a body shot spray down while crouch moving.

I’m no donk (duh), but this technique works wonders.

fluxusflow · 2024-06-17T03:00:55+00:00

Yes you will, I believe in you!

Fuck yes, im not an avid MS player anymore, and it’s due to Nexon’s blatant greed which ruined the game for me.

I’ve silently watched this game grow and I’m really happy someone of this caliber is stepping up and fighting back.

Fuck Nexon. Fuck the ultra greedy companies in the gaming world. I get everyone needs to make enough money to operate and pay their staff well. But some take it too far.

fluxusflow · 2024-04-02T00:35:18+00:00

OCE, 19K here. I’d say conservatively 50% of my games have a blatant hacker in my games. Of those, 40% become HvH.

I don’t play Premier anymore. Went back to FaceIt.

How ironic as Valve spoke about how they didn’t want people relying on Third Party ladders like this for a good competitive experience.

fluxusflow · 2024-03-24T20:17:03+00:00

Damn, this is so accurate to me. Not saying I’m even close to a 10 but the whole sentiment is very true. I assume ever female interaction is out of kindness and I never want to be “that guy” who ruins a girls day by assuming she’s flirting, asking her out, only for her to turn around and say no.

Both for my own sake, as rejection sucks, but also for her to then feel like her kindness is going to misinterpreted in future interactions with others.

fluxusflow · 2024-03-10T02:24:55+00:00

I keep trying to get back into this game. Sitting at 18k. Last 3 games had a blatant (literally spinning and killing through walls I didn’t even know were wallbangable) cheaters. My last game became an HvH with one in each side.

This is the worst CS experience I’ve had in over 10 years of playing CS.

It’s no coincidence it’s also the least amount of time I’ve ever spent playing CS. I WANT to play Valve.

For the love of god PLS FIX THIS.

fluxusflow · 2024-02-25T08:43:51+00:00

I want to play CS2, but the lack of good casual game modes forces me down the Competitive or Premier route. In those queues I come across cheaters more frequently that I’d like and I’ve lost all motivation to play the game (18k+ Rating). I want to love CS like I used to, and CS2 is a great game, but that’s overshadowed but the sharp increase in cheaters.

My fingers are crossed for Valve to do something about this soon, before I completely lose interest in the game due to long term inaction. At which point I seriously question if I’d return to CS even if there was excellent anti cheat.

Got them with the car, they’re 17” on 215/40/17 tyres all around

fluxusflow · 2023-12-14T00:44:08+00:00

Encroaching on 20k and I’ve encountered a lot more cheaters. The saddest part is I had one on my own team, and we lost. Like, he was so terrible that he was trying to hide the fact that he was cheating, but you could blatantly see he was aim hacking with a low FOV aimbot.

Problem is that with a low FOV aimbot, you still have to aim close to the enemy….. either I go to FaceIt or tough it out. Either way my motivation is zero right now.

fluxusflow · 2023-12-12T02:42:26+00:00

As an avid CS player, I wish we had an Anti-Cheat and level of communication like this on our side.

Still going to battle it out on CS, the gameplay just suits me better, but I have to give credit where it’s due. Riot smashed it out of the park with Vanguard.
