Just started making aces and I wasn't prepared at how ass this card is lmao. If her output is this rough, I might have to reuse the medium parents since my long parents don't have ideal Stam sparks.

Long S is also evading me even tho I went through the hassle of making 14 long sparks with race matched lineages with dirt races included.

Probs just gonna throw the last minute Goldshi + Vega in if I can't make my planned team work.

PC is cooked so I'm just going through some old consoles to pass the time. Found out that 3DS had some fighting games besides SF4. Saw some Tekken, DOA (although I'm not sure if it's the actual FG or the "other" content) and BlazBlue.

For console stuff since I feel more confident talking about that, the 3DS dpad is ass lmao. Out here dropping half circle inputs while the history says I'm just doing back forward.

I like the touchscreen at the bottom. At least from what I'm seeing here, it's just used to reset and display moves. It's also pretty sensitive to touch, meaning I don't have to pull the DS stylus out to scroll or reset.

Some funky stuff, the 3D effect here is kinda sick. Can't show it clearly on camera but there's like different layers. The closest layer to the player is the characters and the bottom corner meter. The 2nd layer is the health bars, combo counter and the ground part of the stage. The final layer is the background. If you're just looking at an angle, the 3D effect is seamless. Different story once you start actually playing the game. The 3D effect pretty much breaks.

Pretty neat stuff. Can't say much about the game tho. Never played BlazBlue besides BBTAG and that game I defaulted to the P4 cast. Random thing, what the fuck kind of name is Bang and the 3DS screen is kinda ass so idk if this dude's name is Earl Clover or Carl Clover.

I hate that in 2 hours, I've managed to make just 1 uma and it's genuinely worse than the ones I make on MANT.

I watched guides, literally had them on a separate monitor while doing the runs. Followed their tips, Speedrun a support for friendship, click on LH for coin, get friendship bonus. Everything. For the 1st hour, it's just nothing but run ending on junior.

The 2nd hour, finally something decent on XOguri, classic year is bad, 3 songs and can't carry over twice but at least SP gain was 1st song. 3rd year happened and I got hopeful. Managed to get 4 songs on friendship bonus, bringing it to 45%. Then summer happened, no trainings, LH ghosting. It kept going, solo trainings, no LH. Still got 3 songs and got the 10% story one

Then the end, no friendships for 3 fucking turns. Ended with 2.7 SP, 900 wit, 1k power. I could get better results in MANT with significantly less stress.

I have everything I need for a good run. I had a fucking Tachyon MLB, CB Wit 2LB both with SP bonus, Fuku wit and Kitasan for fast friendship. Fucking MLB LH. I grinded for Stam sparks with TS sparks in all 6 umas. I did all the correct decisions and still it's fucking trash. Worse than my MANT runs, hell might be even worse than the early Unity 2.0 runs I did.

2 hrs of my life and not counting the time I spent grinding those sparks on MANT for nothing but a single uma that's worthless even in MANT CMs.

This might be the scenario that I just auto for 4 months. I disliked the fast schedule but this is genuinely the 1st time I'm glad they are doing the accelerated schedule cause I cannot stand GL and it's only been a fucking week. I don't think the free pulls are even done.

How did they make a scenario this horrible? How did this game in JP even survive past this scenario? I had a hard time recommending people to try the game but with this scenario, I would just outright discourage people to pick up the game. Stick to the manga or anime over this terrible scenario.

I'm just gonna read up and try to find gameplay of the next scenario. I'll see if the next scenario is worth me slogging through this garbage scenario. I heard good things about the scenario (besides that pal? or group? card being a scam and that it's a perma borrow which, oof that sucks, wonder if it's usable at low LBs).

Extra, LH is a fucking fraud of an uma and any sympathy or love I have for the character diminishes with every failed run.

I think my main issue so far is that GL is unholy levels of RNG. I'll try to learn the scenario but so far the consistency of my umas is all over the place which I really don't like. I can have like UG whatever one run and get a scuffed SS on another run. This is running MLB Kita SPD, borrow MLB Tachyon SPD, 3LB Creek STAM, MLB Light Hello (kill me), 3LB CB WIT and MLB Fuku WIT.

One benefit I can see is that I can end runs way faster but it genuinely feels like ass when I get like an hour of playing and end up ending 4 runs just because stuff like not getting the right songs early or supports refusing to raise bonds or Hello not proccing her repeat event or specialty priority merchants finding themselves on guts.

Also, the whole "snowball effect" like getting some songs early is nice if I can actually utilize them. It really sucks when I see the +30 friendship bonus or +25 specialty priority, only to be greeted with fucking nobody on the right facility for a couple of turns, then realizing my economy for that concert is crashing.

I'll try to figure out on how to get more consistent runs but rn it's hell to figure out. Also whoever decided that Director's bond should still be in this scenario, go fuck yourself. I haven't seen the next scenario but I hope she isn't in it as a bond or if she is, please be something useful.

Positive, getting that maxed friendship bonus with 2 SPD training + Light Hello + other TEF supports hits like crack with the insane stat output.

Kinda had low hopes that she could get the win compared to the Oguri I spent more time building but she managed to gamble hard, stayed at 6th for pump, OYL hit + NimNav + IgPwr + IgGuts (I'm sure guts helped lol) and just rocket launched to the front while all the paces were stunlocked.

Also, kinda nice song. I can kinda see why people want a full podium placement since anyone past 3rd place is barely seen at all.

So like in TB, it's like 30~40 stats > G3/2 but since Unity trainings give higher stats and the spirit burst mechanic exists, what's considered a bad training? Is low training stats but 5 npc supports that gain a level in the burst worth missing a race?

Similarly, assuming the 5 npc supports gaining a level in burst thing but there's a friendship training in a different stat, how high of a stat gain is worth skipping levelling the bursts?

Thx in advance. :⁠-⁠)

Corner, Hydrate, Triple 7s. Game is hella rng but whiffing it this much is crazy. Game saw me make an uma with a 90% win rate once and decided to tank that stat all the way down.

Still qualified for A with my last ticket but that last race feels iffy cause it was just 8 ends and my Oguri and that mf STILL whiffed her recovery but managed to create a large enough distance from the other ends.

Get 2 wins and watch as the game proceeds to late start my umas all the damn time. The last race, Rudolf late starts, whiffs ult but still manages to get 1st but this fuckass late Oguri comes outta nowhere and takes the win at the last second.

I just entered 2nd summer without a single god damn energy drink. I had to use rest in summer. Like it's been so long since I had to click rest on fucking summer what the fuck. I was coping through the run hitting rests and wits, thinking that I might get more energy items but nah here's some more 70% megaphones even tho I capped those even tho I used them to hit wit without supports. All this cope just cause I got all the skills I needed through sparks.

Currently can't play the game but considering EVO Japan and the etc patch, I thought the vibes were improving. But now, I'm reading the comments of the video that people are still hella pissed at the game. I mean fair enough but damn, did I miss a random patch during the 3 weeks I'm gone? It felt like dudes are just suddenly pissed again. Is it just a YouTube thing?

Legitimately makes me question if it was even worth doing those G3s. If I clocked them, I would have already used all my clocks before even reaching Classic Year.

Like, not only am I getting less stats due to losing, I'm losing more energy, losing specific hints from training, and even when I win, the fuckass shop doesn't even refresh with usable goods. I'm already at the point where I just reset runs by 1st inspiration where previously I would have pushed through.

I have never gone to the point where all my borrows were used up before even completing my dailies til dealing with some BS like this.

Idk how to articulate my frustrations with MANT compared to Unity. I guess MANT is frustrating for the entire run whereas Unity has points where it's frustrating. My only points of crashing out usually is at the team trials sections. Here, I'm mentally preparing myself for 35+ races to somehow screw me over, a shop that doesn't sell shit, 100 vision skills from rival races and the usual bad mood/bad events.

Tldr: ts is not umazing 👎
