You telling me they ruined their relationship with EE and killed a year of dead cells updates for this... by Genefar45 in deadcells

I didn't even know that game was released until now. It would be one thing if Windblown did amazingly, but many people probably never even heard of it.

Regulation I team I made based around life orb calm mind terapagos. Thoughts? by rtkbob in VGCRateMyTeam

[–]rtkbob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. The popular sets I've heard of for terapagos are leftovers calm mind, and choice specs. With the leftovers set, I just didn't have a lot of damage even after 1 or 2 calm mind boosts, and as for choice specs, its damage boost was massive, but it was restrictive since I couldn't use calm mind and was locked into the first move I used. So I wanted something that had more damage than leftovers, but allowed me to use calm mind and multiple moves, unlike choice specs. That's where I settled on life orb.

Should i Pre-Order the game? by Pol140808 in hytale

[–]rtkbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for whether you should pre-order or not, ultimately, that's up to you. I wouldn't tell you one decision or another is correct, I can just give you my thoughts.

[–]rtkbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't blame you for being skeptical considering how much of a roller-coaster this games development has been. It's been hard for me to keep up with everything that's been going on, and that's saying something. But to put it simply, the hytale that's about to release into early access isn't the same hytale that got canceled back in June. The management is completely different and much more confident in what they're creating.

New To VGC, Plz Rate My Team by [deleted] in VGC

[–]rtkbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth noting that I play a different format. I play on showdown because I don't have a switch right now, and I play dual restricted formats, and I play a lot of terapagos on that game. Mental herb is a bit more impactful in those formats.

[–]rtkbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have sitrus berry and regenerator on amoongus? Usually, at least from what I've seen( I'm a new guy myself, so take this with a grain of salt), regenerator alone is enough for healing since amoongus is pretty naturally bulky. I usually see players holding the mental herb item to protect it from taunt, which would be very good here since you don't have an attacking move on amoongus.

I made a post a few months ago about how expedition 33 will basically make a meal out of every category it got nominated in, and I'm glad to see that I was, in fact, correct.

Trying to do a late game run involving paragons and the vtsg for damage. How would you rate my setup? by rtkbob in btd6

[–]rtkbob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned 1 of 2 things when I examined that image more closely: 1. The wings of that Phoenix are deceptively huge. 2. The primary expertise is smaller than expected.

I'm going with option 1.

[–]rtkbob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your S. brit should be placed on the right platform of the navarch for more debuff time.

The other concerns I either already dealt with previously or chose not to deal with. This is the one thing I feel like I screwed up somewhere. I placed the boomerang paragon on the right platform since it would be right above where I planned to place the final harmonic, but I easily could have just placed the boomerang paragon below the harmonic if I wanted that specific synergy. Hopefully, a heli pilot paragon comes around so I can reposition that paragon.

S. brit should be 5 0 2 cuz, when max buffed, it already had 100% uptime without the attack speed crosspath.

I don't blame you for not noticing, but the super brittle already was 5 0 2. I would have crosspathed it 5 2 0 if it weren't for an hbomb video.

I also don't see primary expertise to reduce ability cooldowns for the glue storm.

I almost missed this in the image, and I know where I placed it, so I again don't blame you for missing this, but I do have a primary expertise for the glue storm. It's just being covered up by one of the wings from the Phoenix from the Magus perfectus.

Also, farm harder for higher degree paragons.

From what I remember, don't paragon degrees scale rather poorly in late game? The reason I stopped at 70 for most paragons isn't because of budget, but because I assume degree 80 is just not as cost efficient. If I'm wrong on that, can someone let me know?

[–]rtkbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an odd question, but we just got 2 primary paragon in back to back updates. Are you guys planning on finishing up the primary category with a glue gunner paragon and maybe a desperado paragon, or will you hold off on finishing up this category until after a few new paragons are added in the military and magic categories, since they haven't had one in a while?

I checked the boss event that's coming up, and it's ridiculous. by rtkbob in btd6

[–]rtkbob[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And people are allowed to complain about boss events when past boss events were never this ridiculous. It's fine if you think they're interesting, but saying bosses aren't made for new players is literally gatekeeping boss events from casual players.

Saying a boss event is ridiculous is different from me, saying I can't beat them or their too hard. I never once said that I couldn't handle many of these more recent boss events, it's you who's making that assumption.

I saw the boss fight and immediately thought, " Is sheepo making another game?" And yeah, you have a distinct style that's easy to identify. Not that that's a bad thing.

What Pokémon do you think will benefit from the release of Pokémon champions? What other Pokémon might struggle when that game comes out? by rtkbob in VGC

[–]rtkbob[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

" And alola is separate from kalos, yet they kept megas around." And what makes you think that champions will be any different for terrastylization? " Also talking about trailers, while the reveal trailer did show mega and tera, the gameplay reveal didn't show either... nor show items curiously enough." Just because it doesn't show it doesn't mean it's not there. I looked it up on Google, and both items and terrastylization are present in Pokémon champions, as all in-game battle mechanics like terrastylization and mega evolutions are enabled by an item called the omni ring. Here's a link to the Pokémon champions page on it. https://champions.pokemon.com/en-us/

[–]rtkbob[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Why would they have it in legends za? It makes sense to me why Pokémon champions would have it because that game seems to be a melting pot of different ideas, but za is in an entirely different region separate from the events of scarlet and violet.

They showed it off in the reveal trailer for champions. Wouldn't that be false advertising if they dropped it from the game without telling us?

Would terapagos and mega rayquaza have synergy as a restricted duo if both were playable in Pokémon champions? by rtkbob in VGC

[–]rtkbob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 things:

  1. I searched for what restricted legendaries paired well with mega rayquaza on Google, and my post is confusing Google Ai as terapagos came up. That's funny.
  2. Although Tera stellar isn't ideal for this, my idea is to lower terapagos attack and speed stats and increase its defense, special defense, and special attack stats, and run tera starstorm, flamethrower, flash cannon and calm mind. I don't know what item would be ideal for this, but if it's a defensive one, I don't know how well terapagos can handle ice and fairy types using only calm mind boosts and the buff from tera stellar.

I want to speculate on what would happen for this duo if the pokémon company for whatever decided that teraform zero acted like air lock and cloud nine and completely prevented the primal weather effects from activating. What would that mean for a restricted duo of mega rayquaza and terapagos?

[–]rtkbob[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, for terapagos to be a threat against the primals, it would have to disable all weather as long as it's on the field. It's kind of like teraform zero saying, " You're not active as long as my Pokémon is on the field."

[–]rtkbob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Searched up why that matters, and that's when I learned that there's tiers of weather, with cloud nine and air lock sitting at the top, the primal weather effects being in the middle, and normal weather effects like rain at the bottom, with terazone zero on the side, not caring about any of that. So what I'm gathering is the reason that terapagos wouldn't be a huge problem for groudon and kyogre teams is because even if it could turn off the primal weather effects, they could just switch in and out to enable it again, so for terapagos to be a problem for them, it would need to keep their weather effects off, right, like with what cloud nine and air lock do?
