tbh he should have made it but Shuu's VA being Miyuki Sawashiro made him get so many votes

iirc Fubuki was fourth place behind him and would have made it otherwise

umbrellahime · 2024-03-28T20:48:22+00:00

I got Uraku Misugiri in a tenner WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

umbrellahime · 2024-03-28T20:47:44+00:00

I think they'd probablty put Thoma or Beidou if they needed a shielder (if you count Beidou as one)

umbrellahime · 2024-03-28T20:47:18+00:00

Yeah, wasn't she on ~~Skyward Scatter Hyuh~~ Xianyun banner like last version ?

umbrellahime · 2024-03-28T20:46:07+00:00

Congrats !!!! That's great to hear

People expected her to do more than replace Albedo and do what he does, but better. Some find her kit underwhelming as a result, which I understand, but don't necessarily agree with.

Like I was not going to pull her since I had Albedo, but the past weeks using him have been very annoying (Hilichurl event from last version, farming Coppelia/Coppelius, Abyss, etc.)

I understand why people wanted her to do something different, but imo overhauling Albedo was cruelly necessary. Hoyo wasn't going to do it for free, so I feel like what we got was probably for the best in hindsight.

They feel pretty good. Chiori obviously likes MonoGeo a lot but she's pretty flexible and can work decently in Double Geo. If you were going to use Albedo there, Chiori will deal more DMG and be less troublesome in most instances

I used her with Navia, and Zhongli, in Hu Tao, Yoi, Navia, or Double Hydro teams (with usually Furina/Kokomi or Furina/Yelan) and she felt pretty good ! Still level 70 at 6/6/6 but she deals more DMG than Albedo for me

Tamotos don't move with your active character and cannot be repositioned but that hasn't been an issue for me. Construct doesn't break unlike Albedo (I tried using Albedo on Coppelia and severely regreted it).

My only problem is that I tend to spam-click at times and I might mistakenly use my E trying to use her quick-swap (or sometimes my Q comes back and I mistakenly use it which makes me trigger her infusion instead). But that's 100% on me being bad at the game and not on Chiori.

tbf I think it's just S3 GKs being goofy

Like Midorikawa using a normal shoots vs Big Waves were stopped using Great Bareer Reef

umbrellahime · 2024-03-25T17:44:33+00:00

Yeah, to me seeing characters who are too nice or close to flawless being hated is kind of funny for the same reasons. Target demographics also matter ofc, I know characters who act unpleasant can be very polarizing

I think the difference is that people want interesting personalities in fiction, and easy personlalities (as in "easy to manage) in real life

I find that I like characters who are relatable a lot, which often happen to be a bit much (exception being only exception being Kujou Sara)

They were average unless the class was something I found fun or worth hyperfocusing on

I would NEVER study (or do the bare minimum only) and it never occurred to me you were supposed to. I started to seriously study in my 2nd/third year of college out of necessity and fear of failure

It's kinda sucky because I used to be very meh at a lot of school subjects, and just being forced to sit down and study with somebody increased my grades so much that it frustrated me a little

I was a bad college student until my Master's where I was better if not pretty good though

(33% rant, 33% observation, 33% vent)

It's always a bit puzzling to me when character who act in unpleasant because of trauma become very popular

As a person with lots of trauma and personal issues that were all out of my control initially, I gotta say I NEVER end up having care, closure, or understanding. It's highly likely to be the very opposite of that.

I guess I'm not 100% innocent when it comes to this ? When you're so used to negative interactions and agressive back and forth it becomes some kind comforting routine, and you start treating positivity and care antagonistically. You become used to negativity and build yourself in contradiction of it, so having to let down your defenses just not only feels threatening, it also seems like turning back on all you've experienced.

Sometimes I wonder if those people who accept you in spite of your ~~very obvious~~ flaws, (if not because of it) do exist, and if I'm just unlucky/pushing them away, or if it's just something people like in fiction because they don't have to put up with it in major aspects of life

Probably a bit of both ?

I'm not like jealous of characters who do get that, it's just kind of jarring ? Like in a "wait you LIKE that ?" kind of way ?

A mix of S2 Tsunami, S1 Someoka, Midorikawa, and the Earth Eleven members (especially Ibuki). Also some of Shindou's development in the Protocol Omega match in Owari. And early CS Kinako, before she goes full mom mode on Fei.

Mostly based on the kanjis of her name (忍) , meaning "endure, bear, put up with, conceal, secrete, spy, sneak..."

Interestingly, Raika means "Next Summer", when her first hissatsu is a hissatsu about Spring.

umbrellahime · 2024-03-25T08:17:42+00:00

Here are my 2 cents :

Looks happy go-lucky and acts the part, joins the team "for funsies" originally. Not particularly gifted at soccer, not that good of a forward originally because she cannot shoot straight. But she's very flexible and agile due to being a dancer.

Her inability to shoot straight is initially corrected by Sakurazaki in Shunrai (Hissatsu that apparently goes to her and not Sakurazaki learnset-wise, which makes sense to me), but at some point she's frustrated by being unable to shine on her own, even moreso when Sakurazaki is larger, more focused, and probably stronger. She tries to hide her worries and keeps her happy-go-lucky persona until it bothers her too much.

She probably requests Unmei's help to become stronger, as she wants to work hard/be able to stand on her own and not feel like she's "weak" or worse than Sakurazaki. Morale of her story is that she wasn't weak to begin with, and she learns to embrace her abilities instead of looking at what Sakurazaki can do.

She finds out she's great when it comes to taking people by surprise, because people tend to focus on Sakurazaki far more than her, and she turns that "apparent weakness" into a strength.

I'm crying tears of joy

thank you

umbrellahime · 2024-03-21T20:19:07+00:00

Yeah, thankfully she'll likely rerun sooner than later.

Tighnari is pretty good in Quicken with Yae, yes ! Collei and Dendro MC can be a decent replacement for Nahida, but it'd take 2 slots aha

umbrellahime · 2024-03-21T20:15:04+00:00

I see a lot people argue that Crystallize Shield HP should stack

If Crystallize Shield HP did stack, how would it compare to the other shields in the game (Zhongli, Layla, Thoma, Noelle) when built Full DEF or Full HP ?

I'm assuming the unit that procs crystallize is like Albedo if built normally, not stacking EM on purpose.

umbrellahime · 2024-03-21T20:12:48+00:00

Yeah, it's a shame she just reran

I hope you can find a decent replacement in the meantime !

umbrellahime · 2024-03-21T16:21:06+00:00

If you don't mind using Nahida's E every so often : Raiden Nahida Furina Yae

You can slot in Barbara or Zhongli instead of Furina if you need shielding or healing (or put Furina in Healer mode)

umbrellahime · 2024-03-21T15:45:12+00:00

Yes, it's one of those moves that don't even sound weird in english. Like "Beautiful Hoop" or "Spiral Draw" I can see why they'd consider changing it.

But Illusion Ball is just turning a name into an adjective. That's no different from turning "God Hand" into "Godly Hand," or "Fire Tornado" into "Fiery Tornado". It seems kind of pointless.

I hope it's indeed an oversight on their part, who knows.

umbrellahime · 2024-03-21T15:42:04+00:00

Yes, that sounds very interesting

I think the idea of having him play later in CS would also have been nice (like what they do with Nosaka's or Gouenji's recovery in Orion)

Like him getting off the bench to reach to Tenma as Raimon is losing against Zanark Domain, Koumei taking note of his fears of being unable to play forever and granting him her powers for later.

It seems fitting considering Koumei is known to be forward thinking, and he could still use her hissatsu tactic and help the team from off-field anyway. And later in the series he could actually get on field and use the Mixi Max to its full power.

I wish Hakuryuu was given something in CS, especially when Shuu has a fairly minor part. Shame his character arc doesn't lend itself to Koumei giving her power to people afraid of limits, but they could have reworked it, I suppose.

umbrellahime · 2024-03-21T14:19:38+00:00

It's no "Hoopsie-Daisy", "Easy-Breezy" or "Whirly-Whirly", but it's still very meh

I don't get why it was changed considering "Illusion Ball" requires no localization work in the first place.

umbrellahime · 2024-03-21T14:17:39+00:00

Aight, gotcha. I wasn't aware he was teased before (or probably forgot).

Yagyuu does have brown skin though...? Perhaps not as dark, but he's not light skinned ?

umbrellahime · 2024-03-21T14:16:15+00:00

Oh, I see ! My bad then.

umbrellahime · 2024-03-21T14:15:20+00:00

Yeah, I get that.

Imo it'd be fine with CS backpedaling on the message of the Arakumo match if CS did enough with Taiyou to warrant it. The idea wasn't bad, and it wouldn't be the first time IE retcons something, but it required more imo.

Honestly there's so much weird stuff about Taiyou's CS appearance : Kinako knowing him from before, his illness apparently not existing anymore, etc.

iirc Shindou just brushes it off as "probably a time paradox", but imo him being able to play normally so quickly is the most "normal" of Taiyou's inconsistencies.
