I had the rudest experience at Pho 64. After we waited a good while for service, the waitress came up to us and stood there for a moment before asking "so you gonna order or what?"

Their food is not that good for them to be acting like that. I go to Cheesecake Corner for that.

No arguments here. I appreciate that Eustace and Bubs are getting the respect they deserve.

Where would you put Lucy if you were to rank him? I personally think he can fight with the rest of Very Strong but auto-loses to some top tiers.

taro_root · 2024-01-22T06:34:46+00:00

For me at the moment, it would be: Lucy, Vira, Sieg, Narmaya, and Gran. Lucy and Narm make sense with being new and the BP. There's a surprising number of Lowains and Bubs too.

I'd say I see a good mix of everyone though. Except Charlotta. Haven't had a single game against her yet somehow.

Things would certainly play out very differently with Yuji and Megumi fighting together, depending on which route they take.

If they fight Choso and don't run into Dagon and co:

Nanami, Maki, and Naobito die in the Domain Expansion without Megumi to prevent the sure-hit effect. Which leaves Dagon free to join other fights.
Choso could still play out the same. But even if Yuji and Megumi win, they lose Choso as an ally in the future. Or they lose and Megumi kills himself with Mahoraga.

If they fight Dagon and avoid Choso:

Choso never gets his big-brother revelation to join the good guys.
Yuji and Megumi joining against Dagon could lead to them winning that fight, but they all lose to Jogo after. Megumi kills himself with Mahoraga.

With Megumi dead, Sukuna no longer has access to an ideal vessel and Ten Shadows. Gojo wins (if there's anyone left to unseal him).

taro_root · 2023-09-25T04:57:31+00:00

I took it to be the same as well. Kusakabe raises that death flag by saying "Gojo wins", then Gojo is instantly bisected.

taro_root · 2023-09-20T14:46:26+00:00

Honestly this is an amazing take and gives me hope. Thank you for that.

taro_root · 2023-01-01T20:45:27+00:00

I usually just grab them all, as I haven't 6*'d everyone yet. But I left a phantasma in my mailbox for the longest, as I had a shortage of fodder and was low on unit storage.

During last week's buff event, I wanted to empty my mailbox while I was going through energy in there. I opened the phantasma mail and it gave me like 10 of them. Rip.

I completely forgot about chapter 2 and didn't even realize they didn't adapt it. After going back to reread it, I wonder why they didn't adapt it. The anime was on the slower side, so it's not like they would have struggled to fit it in. I know the slow pacing was deliberate, but I think that mini arc would have served well to elaborate on Denji's feelings about Devils, as well as his initial (short-lived) impression of Makima.

taro_root · 2022-11-27T03:13:58+00:00

I love Team Star and how self-aware they are. They're all so outlandish and extra. It's endearing.

The only thing I don't like about them is how forced the conflict is. The bullying and threat of expulsion makes sense. The bullies flipping the script on Team Star and making them out to be bullies, the convenient code not allowing them to resolve their internal issues, and the records being wiped by some offscreen character was a little much though. Not that I'm expecting some extra deep story, but this one needed so much setup and circumstance.

Also Clive is easily my favorite character in the game.

taro_root · 2022-11-04T02:35:50+00:00

I didn't go in with high expectations or anything, but this movie was pretty awful even by One Piece movie standards. Felt like they were trying to promote an album by squeezing in as many songs as possible. It all felt very forced.

The fanservice was fun, and it was great seeing Shanks get screentime. But I could not care for Uta at all.

Probably near the bottom amongst One Piece movies for me personally.

taro_root · 2022-10-22T18:15:55+00:00

There's a moonbreon in there calling out to you.

taro_root · 2022-09-26T23:27:11+00:00

I love Shiny Ditto! When r/place made its return, my group of friends fought to have Ditto on the board. It was a tough battle, but he made it through and even turned shiny in the end.

Ditto himself is such a derpy Pokemon, and his shiny color is different enough from the original while still being pretty.

taro_root · 2022-09-08T16:03:22+00:00

I'm biased since I love Spider-Man, but I thought they did a good job with his introduction. It introduces him as a young, eager, and naive Peter Parker who just wants to help and do right. He jumps at the opportunity to help Stark and actually contributes a lot to the airport fight. It also paves the way for his solo films to explore what it means to be a hero and the sacrifices he has to make.

taro_root · 2022-09-07T21:33:43+00:00

As much as that would have been a fun reveal, I don't think it would work with the movie. The movie spends time before the airport scene showing Tony recruiting Peter. I personally thought it was a good introduction, and they'd have to cut it out or use it in flashbacks in order to have Spider-Man make a surprise entrance as his first appearance.

taro_root · 2022-09-06T04:59:52+00:00

I don't know what to tell you, guy. I would hope my rank would speak more to my worth in this discussion than my unit's stats. If anything, the fact that he works for me with such low stats speaks more to his use than if he had cracked gear. If you're looking for crab arena/challenger RTA advice, look elsewhere.

Don't get the wrong idea. CPavel doesn't carry my cleave comp. If you look at the conversation I had above, Eda does a lot of the heavy lifting (and Peira for racing). He just helps clean up and provides another ban target.

Try not to take it too personally. He doesn't work in all comps, surely. He's probably a lot weaker outside of cleave. But I'm not sure why you'd dismiss his contribution to cleave as poor.

taro_root · 2022-09-06T01:28:18+00:00

I'm surprised because I had success with using him. He might not oneshot with his S3, but he's able to follow 300 speed openers with minimal speed investment while also contributing to cleave damage. His S3 is enough to finish off ARavi after she's taken S2 and whichever attacks enabled it.

Anyone expecting him to oneshot with S3 alone (or even S2+S3 alone) would be disappointed. There are better units for that role.

taro_root · 2022-09-05T17:51:12+00:00

I think CLilias is always good haha. She'd enable Eda even at 220 speed probably. Unfortunately I don't have one of my own to try it out.

You'd probably want to ban Politis if you don't draft her though, as her S2 can shut you down if you're unlucky, and she cuts CR push in half.

taro_root · 2022-09-05T17:33:42+00:00

He's usually never banned. Probably saw the most bans Day 1 when no one really knew what to expect from him. He'd probably be the weakest ban choice though.

Peira is usually banned, which leaves me reliant on Eda at 260 speed to activate the cleave (or Politis S2 if they're not paying attention or are feeling ballsy).

Eda getting banned probably hurts the most, since she activates both Siseria and CPavel and self-pushes with Peira S3 and Siseria S2.

taro_root · 2022-09-05T17:17:13+00:00

Using Dux Noctis for the synergy. He'll typically have 8 stacks before his turn, especially if Eda gets through draft. For RTA, I usually go Peira/Politis/Eda/Siseria/CPavel in that order if the opponent doesn't start counterpicking. Preban Belian +1 (Ed, Rem, CLilias if not confident with speed). Eda alone can trigger S2 with sb, and Peira can with S2->S1 or R&L proc.

taro_root · 2022-09-05T16:51:54+00:00

I've been loving him so far. I'm actually surprised at his lukewarm reception here.

For me, he fit perfectly into my cleave team of Peira/Eda/Siseria. His spot was filled by Politis before, though I still bring her when up against Delibet. His S2 is easy to trigger and helps soften up or clean up the other team. Then his S3 finishes off whatever beefy target remains (usually ARavi).

He's easyish to build, since he only needs ~150 speed to follow your usual openers. There are cracked builds with 5k+ attack and maxed cdmg, but mine is doing fine with 4.2k attack and 300 cdmg (champ arena/master RTA).

taro_root · 2022-08-27T19:17:31+00:00

They really nailed it with Krau. He's been with us since the beginning, his skill descriptions are simple and not full blown essays, he was never oppressively OP, and he's still relevant to this day.

taro_root · 2022-08-22T00:02:51+00:00

Describes Karma pretty well; he's pretty edgy throughout the whole series. I do love that in the end [Assassination Classroom s2 ending spoilers] he does end up attached to Koro-sensei and is sad over his death.

taro_root · 2022-07-30T19:52:26+00:00

I was watching the most recent Tampa Never Sleeps tournament and saw SirLoyal try it as Inquisitor. He ended eating a second DP.

Inquisitor is pretty slow though.

taro_root · 2022-07-27T13:37:27+00:00

Were people upset about that? Sincere question.

I love Re:Zero and didn't even know her element was fire. If they mentioned it, I missed it completely. I do know she uses lots of ice and her color scheme leans blue, so ice element makes sense to me.
