| trdl23 05/21/23 8:11:52 PM #16 | Ibuki was pretty wack, yeah. She should have been on the table from the start. I was otherwise fine with the evil generals since it was Douman's admittedly-shitty backup plan, and it gave us an excuse to see Kagekiyo in a Genji-rich environment. LB2 has aged like milk for me. Just... nothing ever happens for the first 80% of the story, and while it has a great spike in quality at the very end, it was just a glimmer of greatness that I wished had been present throughout everything else. --- E come vivo?

| trdl23 05/21/23 7:15:08 PM #13 | After all the complexity throughout the other Lostbelts, I'm fine with someone who's just a villain and revels in it. Sometimes you just need a monster, and Douman is a fantastic monster. The "what" was obvious from the start, but the "how" was the clincher for me. I also didn't care for him in Shimousa. He doesn't share the spotlight well with others, so he's really only good as a small supporting part of a bigger story (LB4 and 5.2) or being in center stage. Being part of a main-antagonist Team Evil didn't do him favors. EDIT: That's actually what I appreciated most about Heian-Kyo. You are with the good guys, the bad guy is the bad guy, unravel his plan and then go kick his ass. Sprinkle in some fantastic character moments (The exchange between Kintoki and Yoshitsune was heart-wrenching) and bam, a simple and delicious meal. Not from a 5-star Michelin-rated restaurant, but satisfying nonetheless. --- E come vivo? Vivo! |

| trdl23 05/21/23 7:07:52 PM #11 | I dunno, man. LB2 exists. I find Douman wildly entertaining. It's so nice to have an absolute jackass to hate, but he has this perverse charisma in every scene that I can't help but wonder in excitement about what bullshit he's going to pull next. Tsuna was boring, but he gave other characters a chance to shine (especially Babbage, who FINALLY got a cool moment), so I was okay with that. Who surprised me the most was Shuten - to me she had always been a silly joke character, but she was super compelling here, especially with her unusual care toward Kintoki. Obviously, they've always had a connection, but it was fascinating to see her focus on something beyond her usual whims every so often. Kintoki is my second-favorite chapter companion character, right below Bedivere (I don't consider CasGil to be one since he's not traveling with us most of the time). He's the "dumb shonen protagonist" done in a wonderful, charming way. --- E come vivo? Vivo! |

| trdl23 05/21/23 6:53:44 PM #9 | Saber Wars 2 was so great; I'm shocked they haven't done a third yet. I usually don't skip story on reruns I remember liking, but dear god will I hammer every skip button I can if they bring back the Erice / Voyager event. Even though Voyager is precious. How did everyone like 5.5? I absolutely adored it, but I've heard that overall opinion is mixed. --- E come vivo? Vivo! |

| trdl23 05/21/23 12:56:53 PM #1 | I guess I'll out myself as a player of this damn game. I've really fallen in love with this game over the past year and a half. Yes, I'm aware of how awful the gacha system is, but as a guy who loves both turn-based RPGs and deckbuilding games, it's a blast to see a decent fusion of them, even if I have a bit of 3-turn brain rot now when it comes to free quests. The events have been decent-to-pretty-good so far this year. Valentine's was kinda "eh" because I don't care much for Caren, and the CBC was carried by Voyager being the best. I enjoyed Summer 5 a bunch last year, and Summer Yu is fantastic both as a unit and character, so I'm glad we have this rerun going. Super excited for LB6, I wish it would come sooner. Lasagna is clearly having personnel issues given how all the events are running for 3 weeks from now on. If there are enough people, I'm glad to get a google sheet with our friend codes going. --- E come vivo? Vivo! |

| trdl23 05/21/23 1:45:35 AM #394 | IfGodCouldDie posted... The biggest reason I feel I made the wrong play was I never played anyone at the same location as them for extra power, and they easily could have had abomination or hulk to win that right lane giving me the loss, but I just decided to play out, out of curiosity.Exactly one patriot player plays Hulk and it's me. I don't think anyone's on Abomination anymore either. IfGodCouldDie posted... This is something I adjusted to after I added him into my previous discard deck and it wasn't working. Originally it had Dracula and Apocalypse instead of DD and Lockjaw. I think I threw Swarm in there too and got rid of InfinautAh, okay, here we go. Hela decks are very different from "normal" discard decks, and here you have kinda mixed them together. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/1/3/AAcMtoAAEfxZ.jpg Here's what mine looks like, though playing Moon Knight is probably suboptimal. You want as few RNG discards as possible, and Chavez on 6 is fantastic since it usually guarantees your Dracula will be 9 power minimum (and, hopefully, will be even bigger since you can play her and have Apoc as the only card left in your hand). --- E come vivo?

| trdl23 05/20/23 3:51:16 PM #374 | IfGodCouldDie posted... I'm not sure what you would consider pretty new, but I've played Magic, YGO and Pokmon on and off for years and even played Hearthstone for awhile. Never to a level of competitiveness in any regard but the experience is still barely there.Sorry I was a bit presumptuous, but the stuff you learn when you get to "a level of competitiveness" in those games is what this entire game is built around -- reading into your opponent's lines of play as much or even more than your own. It's a tough skill to develop when you're just goofing around with buddies or slamming your face into the trash fire that is Hearthstone matchmaking. As for an easier deck to play, Discard doesn't have nearly as many crucial decisions, though you do really need MODOK for it to work. I would've recommended Deathwave earlier but "lol, lmao" now. Patriot is solid and straightforward, and it should be viable even at a decently low CL, though I admit my personal list is kinda wacky. Finally, Sera Control isn't "easy," but it's a deck that will teach you a LOT, and it's a deck I think everyone should have experience playing. I'd be happy to jam some games with you in friendly battle and be on Discord as we do it so I can give advice. --- E come vivo? Vivo! |

| trdl23 05/20/23 3:20:20 PM #369 | Cerebro is fine - not fantastic, but still fine. However, it's not an easy deck to pilot imo. IGCD, you might want to find an easier deck to play on your end, so you can focus on your opponent's play more. This isn't a diss -- it's a way to improve. --- E come vivo? Vivo! |

| trdl23 05/20/23 2:50:35 PM #366 | IfGodCouldDie posted... So I should essentially assume there is a 75% chance I am going to lose every game. How the fuck do people determine when they should snap?Honestly, since you're pretty new to card games in general, I would suggest you stop snapping for the most part. You need to learn what kinds of endgames other decks have before you can be confident in what lines of play are available both to you and to your opponent. Snap is a game that is most influenced by its final 1-2 turns. You're getting really pissed at every 4- or 8-cube loss, and that rush of emotion of stopping you from learning. Trust me, I used to be the KING of this mistake when I was cutting my teeth in Magic. Treat things as practice more than climbing. The climbing will come later. We're here to help, too, but the emotional reactions are going to inhibit anything we try to teach you. --- E come vivo? Vivo! |

It still took forever; I largely got way better players in the 90s, which is how it should be. Is there actual decent MMR now? Much as I like to talk trash about Galactus players, I lost like 5 in a row against them (only 7 cubes total but still). I did win more cubes than I lost against the bastard overall tonight, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth. Now I have plenty of time to test out random bullshit! --- E come vivo? Vivo! |
