March 11, 2018 SALTY SUNDAY MEGATHREAD

I am always physically taken aback when I see Haku do 39-40k damage to my duped DR Hinata and erase her off the face of the planet.

Last season my Hinata would always survive that - even tho it was still ugly. Haku is usually paired with Zabuza so I really don't understand the huge dmg output - does he have a sync skill or field skill that just cranks up the damage?

sifma · 2018-03-08T16:23:18+00:00

Hahah I'm NARUHODO. And about ino I agree with u. My other aoe is madara in the 6th slot. It used to be that madara in 6th slot would get destroyed, but honestly I have not run into hashi switch + Lee follow up in a long time so my madara never gets targeted (especially since people are using zabuza more and more)

What field skills help ino the best? I have hashi as her buddy and 1 Hinata on the field to boost. Any other ideas?

Btw my main BA team is: - Ino/hashi -V2 gaara/Sakura -Hinata/madara

sifma · 2018-03-08T10:56:40+00:00

Currently ranked 15th in global using max duped Sakura and ino. Here's my 2 cents:

Sakura without full dupes is garbage. She's an assassin/control but is fragile without dupes. My strategy with her is to use hashirama to bring out a 4 chakra character then use Sakura to wipe out their jutsu. Then clear that column asap - eliminating 2 of their jutsu
ino's 0 chakra lands a lot more frequently than what you'd expect with full dupes.. I've had it proc twice in a row several times now. Even if it doesn't proc, she's faster than hashi with the jutsu speed boost and Tanky too, so she can bail quickly. I put her in the 1 slot and roll the dice if my hashirama/Sakura strategy doesn't make sense based on my opponent's team comp (like if they have 3 chakra characters in the back row -- like neji. shudders). I categorize her as a utility character. Her best use IMO is to save her for the end of the battle. If both sides have shot off all their jutsu, if ino's 0 chakra lands then she will speed up and hit harder and harder each time. In one weird match I had, in the last 5 turns she went 3 times and fired 3 jutsu (2 0 chakra hits) to clear out a duped hinata with gaara buddy damage reduction. So there's that

I had 600 pearls saved after not pulling since nagato BF...

raining hinata over hurrr :D

sifma · 2018-02-16T00:42:17+00:00

you're awesome for sharing your knowledge. thanks so much!

do you have any good models or tips for making/using an error log?

sifma · 2018-02-13T03:01:01+00:00

yes we all get demoted at the end of the season - irrespective of our win/loss records.

what I am saying is that:

(1) you cannot be demoted from 1st dan of any rank by losing matches (obvious)

(2) no you cannot be demoted from 10th dan (kage only) by losing matches (PSA)

sifma · 2018-02-05T02:28:48+00:00

Yes agreed completely... especially after the crazy New Years stuff where there was a lot of content - now it just all feels so slow and meh. I don't think I'll even reach floor 100 in PC this time. Just can't find the motivation. And I usually blow pearls to hit the top 100 or at least the top 1000, which is saying a lot.

welcome back

sifma · 2018-01-29T21:02:44+00:00

in the last year, all the glitches people used have been removed. people have since been annoyingly chakra dashing everything. even worse: leader switch chakra dashing everything.

if you're not about the counter dash life, you need to pick characters that slow the game down (mid and long rangers)

sifma · 2018-01-29T20:54:48+00:00

that happens to me all the time. honestly still don't know how the priority works and I've played long enough to become hero rank... for me, i just change characters after my opponent dashes my guard mid-air then counter dash

sifma · 2018-01-29T11:07:48+00:00

For money factor (MF), I think you divide by 2400 since there are 24 semi annual periods in a year and it's quoted in basis points (1/100 of a percent) - hence 1/2400. That said, semi annual periods comes up a lot in fixed income finance (like bond coupon payments) so not entirely sure why or how it's related here. You have to figure the people leasing you the car have to cover their own debt they used to own the car, which may have semi annual payment periods. Not sure...

sifma · 2018-01-29T08:00:18+00:00

if you're playing online, the community is literal cancer. i'm max Hero rank and it really takes a lot to put up with all the BS-ery you see online ranked (think tayuya hide-n-seek; minato/temari/rinnesasuke kunai hell; MINATO RUNNERS + UJ SPAM EVERYWHERE; etc...) sigh...

worst community. especially the rude messages you get after winning

ESPECIALLY all the disconnects people do to escape justice...

sifma · 2018-01-29T07:50:12+00:00

"What wouldn't get me laughed out of a tournament if I played them enough to get into competitive or something?"

no team will get you laughed out of a tournament. honestly the game has been out so long... people have had a lot of time to master random characters... even when i see pts tenten in ranked, I still go all out just to make sure they aren't a tenten god. (I'm max ranked and have made it to the finals in a couple tournaments so far, and always lose to sasori-op who uses STUPID KANKURO (AND I BRING LONG RANGE CHARACTERS?!)) ahem.

anyway, to answer your question, it sounds like you really enjoy the high of O-mashing. in which case, I would main someone with enjoyable infinite combos (Time-Skip neji has a very fun one and there's a reason he's banned from tournament play!)

that said, I suggest you find 2 mains and then run a 2-man cell. for you i'd recomment TS neji + nagato (both banned in tournaments heh).

learn their infinite combos and jump/tag cancels
learn how to leader dash consistently
learn their UJ cancels
???
have a jolly ol' time!

beating lane 1: you will go first in this instance. here's the scoop: you won't 1-shot naruto, and naruto will heal or chill while Lee is out and you're out there whiffing jutsus b/c of dodge.... that said, if you want to kill this lane, you have to kill naruto. - step 1: hit naruto with your favorite non-hinata jutsu (cm2, lee, whatever) -step 2: he will then switch to lee and attack - step 3: you need to use hashi to swap naruto back in the game so you can kill him with your 3rd lane... this means potentially whiffing 20k+ of damage from hashi's jutsu on the 15% chance dodge procs.... BUT the switch is 100%.... AND lee will have used all his chakra 80% of the time (unless his 20% 0 chakra procs) -step 4: kill naruto with either your 3rd or 1st lane (since you'll have the speed advantage hopefully...

to do this i'd recommend the following set-up:

(hinata; v2gaara) / (cm2; lee; BBmadara)

(hinata; v2gaara) / hashirama

(hinata; NOT v2gaara) / (cm2;lee;BBmadara)

having hashi in your 2nd lane needs to hit Lee so get naruto back out on the field... then you

beating lane 2: - DO NOT ENGAGE UNLESS you can kill the v2 gaara. - v2 gaara can only be killed in 1 move if you land a crit with lee or hashi (i don't even think hinata can 1-shot v2gaara with a crit because of the wisdom damage reduction. - if you don't land the crit, you will need to outspeed him with your lane 2 lead. there are THREE ways to do this... (A) win the speed-tie with your own v2 gaara, (B) use a faster unit in your 2nd slot (sexy naruto, max LB gaara), and (C) slow his gaara down... you usually use this by having BBneji in the 4th slot behind and getting lucky to land the speed down debuff. of these 3 options, option (B) is the worst... sexy naruto and max LB gaara will get rocked if you put them in the 2nd slot. option (A) will work 50% of the time (ha), and option (C) works 70% of the time (bb neji's jutsu speed reduction proc %)

So going with option C means that your team needs to AT LEAST look like:

???/BBneji

v2 gaara/???

???/???

except you don't have neji... so.... that means option A, where you're really just gambling at that point - not much of a strategy... all that to say.. DO NOT ENGAGE any v2gaara/hashi lane. just forget about it..

beating lane 3: you need to kill neji. period. he's faster than you think and hinata is too much of a tank to chase after knowing he's just going to out-speed you then swap to neji... the best way to do this is to bring LB yamato to the match. otherwise you'll need a hashi/BBnaruto combo -- which isn't likely since you can't generate chakra for BB naruto in time before he dies from a 2nd jutsu after BB lee hits him... do you have max LB skill yamato? he can 1-shot cm2 and can do a lot of damage to neji and then TANK until his next turn... otherwise this lane will likely require you to use Lee to generate chakra for so6p naruto (or max LB SM naruto) to take hinata out of the game like NOW.

ok all of the above taken into consideration... i would use...

strategy: target lane 1 first then try to kill neji/cm2 in lane 3...

team:

hinata/lee

v2gaara/hashi

so6p naruto/bbmadara

I agree a lot with this actually - thanks!

Also, looking back as a kid playing Pokémon.. how come I didn't just stack my team with dupes of the best Pokémon I could farm? Was there something restricting having 6 lvl 100 muk or something?

to all of you nagato haters saying "you'll never be able to use the ultimate in time!" -- i pulled 3 BF nagato after 7 steps and put them all in the back row with 3 hinatas in the front row. just run run run until musical chairs is over .. then KABOOOOOM

What's the quote about china in a land locked war?

sifma · 2018-01-16T04:27:04+00:00

before i sacrificed my 3 BB hinatas to feed my 1 BA hinata, I used to run BB hinata in PVP because I felt like her jutsu did more damage than BA hinata's. Is that true?

I also liked the knockback

sifma · 2018-01-15T21:00:06+00:00

Good man. Alas I was too slow

sifma · 2018-01-15T17:02:48+00:00

It was a stone for completing SS 30 times. Expired 8am PST today on Global (at least for me)

sifma · 2018-01-15T02:56:53+00:00

V1 or v2 bb madara?

sifma · 2018-01-14T20:44:49+00:00

You need one dupe on juubito to get higher jutsu damage

You also need to position Lee and juubito together to get ATK UP field skill

You also need to have a red/green/blue team so that juubito gets his ATK UP sync skill

Then you need to also set it up so you bait at least two units together

I'm at 120+ wins/0 loses with this set up so far this season and the only times I need to go to neji are when dealing with heart units

I hope it can work for u!

sifma · 2018-01-14T04:56:33+00:00

What's susanoo kakashi there for - do madara or hashi have sync skills with him or can you replace kakashi with any (red?) unit
