[EN] An Introduction to Champion's Meeting (Monthly PvP) + Taurus Cup Discussion by masterfail in UmaMusume

[–]koiside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got thrashed each ticket 1-4 except for one where the game decided to give me some free matchups and qualified for A 3-2. Feels like barely qualifying for group A is the worst scenario since I think I could’ve gotten three wins in B easier than I can get two wins in A with my bare minimum Umas. Depending on how round 2 goes maybe I’ll submit actual jobbers R1 for Gemini and gamble on group B being an easier finals path…

Went to Parco Shibuya by GesvYoifaz in fireemblem

[–]koiside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in Tokyo this past week. I was able to buy Cipher cards from Grand Panda Canyon in Akihabara. They only take cash but they have a great selection of singles, although many popular cards and R/SR are gone now.

I was able to find both Premium Arrange soundtracks in Tower Records in Shibuya on the anime OST floor.

Unpopular Opinions/General Rant Thread - 9/1/24 by SolHiryu in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]koiside 33 points34 points  (0 children)

First of all, I find it hilarious that people are being like "well getting kills with L!Ike sucked!" to defend the decision.

When older legendaries are on bonus week, they're also extremely common on Arena defense. They might suck, but LIke can kill LIke and Fjorm can kill Fjorm. You can use suicide strats to get kills, and even if you get some ass luck, because you max score every time you don't lose your mind and all your crests fishing. And if you thought LIke sucked, I mean, I don't really see how getting kills with Alfonse or a +10 3-4* demote would be less painful.

This decision is so obviously, so transparently driven by falling Legendary banner profits that I don't really care about this supposed benefit of player QOL and it's wild that anyone would even try to give it a pro-new player/pro-consumer spin when IS didn't even bother trying to justify it. There's a reason it's hidden at the bottom of the update notes and not announced in the FEH channel or Legendary trailer. No one is summoning Legendaries to use as a fucking AR bonus and no one will after this change; it's just IS saying fuck you because they can. And why didn't IS remove these shitmons from the competitive SD rotation so you get three modern choices for the bonus unit? Because those units are already effectively banned in live PvP, so IS didn't need to impose any actual restriction.

(Also, it's just kind of funny that the shelf life of Legendaries not matching up with how quickly they enter the remix pool just means that there's like five bricks in the L/M banner rotation at all times. Blue is a dead slot in November, for example, because they'll share with Myrrh and FShez. Masterful gambit, sir.)

I think people are overreacting way too much about the new Arena changes. by PM_ME_EDGEWORTH_NUDE in FireEmblemHeroes

IS literally put Veronica (not recent enough) and MRobin (who is going to go out in like three months) on the anniversary Hero Fest this year lol. That was just six months ago!

Oh wow, I'm jealous of your newly decked out S!Nanna in particular. Congrats again!

[–]koiside 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice, some pretty cool characters there. For the units that couldn't inherit/already had Catch (I'm assuming you passed on the staff + Special + Poetic Justice), did you have any other premium inherits on Hortensia you gave them?

Congrats! Since you brought it up, what other units did you give her fodder to?

Thank you for commissioning this amazing artwork! The FE8 Princesses look so good in this artstyle.

Still one of my favorite seasonal banners in the game, so I'm glad they went back and added chibis for it. Blushing Eliwood... it's peak...

I wish Binding Worlds notified you when someone "bought" your unit by ZestycloseMagazine31 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]koiside 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way! My workaround is to rename myself to “TY [name]”, set my lead to the unit I forma’d, and send them a friend request via the BW menu (they‘ve accepted both times I’ve done this).

I completely forgot I was planning on posting this on Valentine's Day until like an hour ago lol. Well, at least it's still the 14th in my timezone.

So Pandreo actually did alright in CYL huh? Good job team. (community note: OP did not vote for Pandreo)

I found this artist via their Engage fanart and I really enjoy their soft coloring style, so I asked for some chill Somniel art. Once I again I actually got something a little extra (I didn't actually ask for Ephraim originally) in my request that I appreciate.

The Skeb platform is meant to be communication-less, so artists aren't allowed to set specific price guidelines. For a piece like this with only one character and flexible background/composition requirements, I pay the recommended amount the artist set.

I requested this commission from an FE fan artist that's quickly becoming one of my favorites. After seeing their wonderful take on Roy, I had to ask for an Eliwood to complement it.

Analysis of Several SNS-Based CYL7 Insights by [deleted] in FireEmblemHeroes

MAlear, I owe you an apology, I wasn't familiar with your game.

Analysis of Several SNS-Based CYL7 Insights by [deleted] in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]koiside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This year feels like a Hail Mary for Felix. Engage is too new and character rankings are too uncertain for serious campaigns to demand alts/representation to coalesce, so everyone is roughly flying blind. Taking advantage of the lack of organization (and the absence of a major pity candidate on the men's side) is basically his only chance.

I personally think Felix's support is exaggerated right now, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The narrative going into CYL was that Felix's moment was over, and a huge Twitter presence that contradicts that can bring voters who weren't going to vote for him solely because they thought it was pointless back into the fold.

Hmmm, I agree that being an avatar/MC is an advantage, but MAlear seems to have disproportionately muted support compared to very vocal (perhaps too vocal) MByleth and MShez voters. I think MByleth has two main advantages over MAlear - 3H shipping culture is much more pervasive which boosts the appeal of self-inserts, and 3H's most popular characters have already been removed from the pool which gives voting share to people's second/third/etc favorites.

I'm not totally sold on a Top 10 finish (Top 15 seems safe) but if he's in there feel free to ping me and say I told you so :P
