1
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:23,120
Skyler G:
Welcome back, everybody to
2
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,679
Skyler G:
another episode of the Role
3
00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:25,679
Skyler G:
Phase podcast.
4
00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:28,359
Skyler G:
My name is Skyler G, one of your
hosts.
5
00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:29,480
Skyler G:
But not alone.
6
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,320
Skyler G:
I am not alone today because I
7
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,679
Skyler G:
am joined with your other host,
8
00:00:33,679 --> 00:00:34,840
Skyler G:
Bill Frosby.
9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,920
Skyler G:
Bill Frosby, welcome to the
dice.
10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,560
Skyler G:
Sorry, the gosh dang podcast.
11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,079
Skyler G:
We make the wrong face.
12
00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:44,840
Skyler G:
Yes, the roll phase comes after
the main phase.
13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,560
Skyler G:
Correct.
14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,159
Skyler G:
But it's yeah, before main phase
two.
15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:49,840
Skyler G:
Correct.
16
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,280
Skyler G:
Which too many people forget
about anyway.
17
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:52,880
Skyler G:
Yeah.
18
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,880
Skyler G:
Uh, with that being said, today
we are discussing creating your
19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,479
Skyler G:
very own ranked team.
20
00:00:58,479 --> 00:01:00,630
Skyler G:
Now if you live in an area where
21
00:01:00,630 --> 00:01:02,710
Skyler G:
ranked play is accessible to you
22
00:01:02,710 --> 00:01:03,929
Skyler G:
through like your local game
23
00:01:03,929 --> 00:01:05,609
Skyler G:
store, awesome.
24
00:01:05,609 --> 00:01:09,010
Skyler G:
We only recently got that, but
we're really stoked to have it.
25
00:01:09,010 --> 00:01:10,930
Skyler G:
Uh, we really enjoy getting to
go play that.
26
00:01:10,930 --> 00:01:14,170
Skyler G:
And we will be telling you guys
all about our ranked play
27
00:01:14,170 --> 00:01:16,730
Skyler G:
experiences and a couple
episodes from today's.
28
00:01:16,730 --> 00:01:21,090
Skyler G:
But, uh, until then, today we're
going to help you set up a team.
29
00:01:21,090 --> 00:01:22,409
Skyler G:
Now, this could also go for your
30
00:01:22,409 --> 00:01:23,530
Skyler G:
if you're doing the online
31
00:01:23,530 --> 00:01:24,250
Skyler G:
stuff, right.
32
00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:24,609
Skyler G:
Oh, yeah.
33
00:01:24,609 --> 00:01:24,930
Skyler G:
Okay.
34
00:01:24,930 --> 00:01:25,329
Skyler G:
Perfect.
35
00:01:25,329 --> 00:01:26,689
Skyler G:
So yeah, even if you don't have
36
00:01:26,689 --> 00:01:28,409
Skyler G:
a local game store that does it,
37
00:01:28,409 --> 00:01:29,810
Skyler G:
you could definitely jump on the
38
00:01:29,810 --> 00:01:32,530
Skyler G:
Free Hawks discord, uh, and play
39
00:01:32,530 --> 00:01:33,829
Skyler G:
there or even just, you know,
40
00:01:33,829 --> 00:01:34,730
Skyler G:
for fun.
41
00:01:34,730 --> 00:01:36,090
Skyler G:
If you play online or you play
42
00:01:36,090 --> 00:01:37,569
Skyler G:
with friends, maybe like I said,
43
00:01:37,569 --> 00:01:38,890
Skyler G:
we've talked about, we've set up
44
00:01:38,890 --> 00:01:39,930
Skyler G:
a lot of tournaments with our
45
00:01:39,930 --> 00:01:41,049
Skyler G:
friend group.
46
00:01:41,049 --> 00:01:42,769
Skyler G:
Uh, we all love dice.
47
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:46,750
Skyler G:
We've even run at our local
convention, geek convention, um,
48
00:01:46,750 --> 00:01:47,530
Skyler G:
so on and so forth.
49
00:01:47,530 --> 00:01:49,609
Skyler G:
So lots of opportunity to do
this.
50
00:01:49,609 --> 00:01:52,069
Skyler G:
And we're going to help you
build one of those like really
51
00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:54,129
Skyler G:
well, I mean, I guess I'm
assuming here, but a
52
00:01:54,129 --> 00:01:56,290
Skyler G:
well-rounded team is that kind
of the concept.
53
00:01:56,290 --> 00:01:56,810
Skyler G:
That's the goal.
54
00:01:56,810 --> 00:01:57,650
Skyler G:
That's the goal here.
55
00:01:57,650 --> 00:01:57,849
Skyler G:
Okay.
56
00:01:57,849 --> 00:02:00,129
Skyler G:
We're going for a well-rounded
team.
57
00:02:00,129 --> 00:02:03,189
Skyler G:
I don't know entirely what that
means, but Bill is here to
58
00:02:03,189 --> 00:02:05,370
Skyler G:
explain that to me.
59
00:02:05,370 --> 00:02:08,210
Skyler G:
And apparently I'm being told
that we're going to use my
60
00:02:08,210 --> 00:02:12,430
Skyler G:
current go to ranked team that
I've been bringing with me to
61
00:02:12,430 --> 00:02:18,050
Skyler G:
our LGS to as an example, Bill
says as a bad example.
62
00:02:18,050 --> 00:02:18,849
Skyler G:
I didn't say.
63
00:02:18,650 --> 00:02:24,990
Bill Frosby:
That. I just said, Skyler, bring
me what your, your rank team is
64
00:02:24,990 --> 00:02:26,210
Bill Frosby:
and I'll bring mine.
65
00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:29,449
Bill Frosby:
And then we can compare them and
I can talk about the strengths
66
00:02:29,449 --> 00:02:30,810
Bill Frosby:
and weaknesses of each.
67
00:02:30,650 --> 00:02:32,449
Skyler G:
I, I remember this conversation
differently.
68
00:02:32,449 --> 00:02:35,729
Skyler G:
I remember you saying, I, you
bring yours, I'll bring mine and
69
00:02:35,729 --> 00:02:37,129
Skyler G:
then I will rub it in your face.
70
00:02:37,129 --> 00:02:39,210
Skyler G:
How much better mine is than
yours?
71
00:02:39,210 --> 00:02:39,889
Skyler G:
Yeah.
72
00:02:40,650 --> 00:02:41,930
Bill Frosby:
We said the same thing.
73
00:02:41,930 --> 00:02:42,449
Bill Frosby:
Uh.
74
00:02:43,250 --> 00:02:45,110
Skyler G:
That and you also said, well,
75
00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:47,129
Skyler G:
gee, Skyler, I mean, when was
76
00:02:47,129 --> 00:02:48,770
Skyler G:
the last time you placed in the
77
00:02:48,770 --> 00:02:50,550
Skyler G:
top two at the local ranked
78
00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:51,810
Skyler G:
tournament?
79
00:02:52,650 --> 00:02:53,610
Bill Frosby:
Yeah, I also said that.
80
00:02:53,610 --> 00:02:54,849
Bill Frosby:
And there's nothing wrong with
that.
81
00:02:54,849 --> 00:02:57,180
Bill Frosby:
It's I, I speak nothing but
facts.
82
00:02:57,180 --> 00:02:57,860
Bill Frosby:
Yeah.
83
00:02:57,819 --> 00:03:00,060
Skyler G:
You're a very factual person,
Bill. Uh.
84
00:03:00,060 --> 00:03:02,020
Skyler G:
All right, so hit me with the
facts.
85
00:03:02,020 --> 00:03:02,419
Skyler G:
All right.
86
00:03:02,419 --> 00:03:03,780
Skyler G:
I guess I should probably tell
87
00:03:03,780 --> 00:03:06,180
Skyler G:
you who I've been bringing as my
88
00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:07,659
Skyler G:
team, and then we can go from
89
00:03:07,659 --> 00:03:08,020
Skyler G:
there.
90
00:03:08,020 --> 00:03:08,620
Skyler G:
Okay.
91
00:03:08,620 --> 00:03:10,939
Skyler G:
Is there, like, do you want to,
like, do one at a time?
92
00:03:10,939 --> 00:03:12,060
Skyler G:
Or do you want me to just list
93
00:03:12,060 --> 00:03:13,620
Skyler G:
them all and then we list them
94
00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:13,780
Skyler G:
all?
95
00:03:13,780 --> 00:03:14,219
Skyler G:
Yeah.
96
00:03:14,219 --> 00:03:15,580
Skyler G:
Because, because the whole.
97
00:03:15,379 --> 00:03:21,219
Bill Frosby:
Point of making a good team is
the, the group's chemistry and
98
00:03:21,219 --> 00:03:22,740
Bill Frosby:
flow and stuff.
99
00:03:22,740 --> 00:03:24,139
Bill Frosby:
Uh, how well do they flow each
100
00:03:24,139 --> 00:03:26,219
Bill Frosby:
other and how well do they, uh,
101
00:03:26,219 --> 00:03:27,919
Bill Frosby:
help each other's weaknesses,
102
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:28,620
Bill Frosby:
you know?
103
00:03:28,460 --> 00:03:31,099
Skyler G:
Okay. So I, I have two that I
104
00:03:31,099 --> 00:03:32,460
Skyler G:
pretty much brought to every
105
00:03:32,460 --> 00:03:33,780
Skyler G:
single tournament.
106
00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:35,340
Skyler G:
And then I had those two.
107
00:03:35,180 --> 00:03:35,860
Bill Frosby:
I'm guessing.
108
00:03:35,699 --> 00:03:37,699
Skyler G:
Yes. And then one of them
109
00:03:37,699 --> 00:03:39,419
Skyler G:
switched between two different
110
00:03:39,419 --> 00:03:40,659
Skyler G:
characters.
111
00:03:40,659 --> 00:03:44,419
Skyler G:
So I can give you both just to
give you a little bit more ammo
112
00:03:44,419 --> 00:03:46,620
Skyler G:
in your proverbial revolver.
113
00:03:46,620 --> 00:03:50,180
Skyler G:
But yeah, anyway, okay, so I'll
give you the first two is and
114
00:03:50,180 --> 00:03:52,500
Skyler G:
you all probably can guess this
who are listening?
115
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:54,590
Skyler G:
Psylocke, of course.
116
00:03:54,590 --> 00:03:56,629
Skyler G:
Your best character in all of
dice.
117
00:03:56,629 --> 00:03:57,229
Skyler G:
Wrong.
118
00:03:58,430 --> 00:04:01,830
Skyler G:
Uh, the second one is
Pyromancer.
119
00:04:01,830 --> 00:04:03,930
Skyler G:
And then the third, uh, the two
120
00:04:03,930 --> 00:04:05,069
Skyler G:
that I've kind of jumped
121
00:04:05,069 --> 00:04:06,069
Skyler G:
between.
122
00:04:06,069 --> 00:04:08,509
Skyler G:
It originally started out as
being cursed pirate.
123
00:04:08,509 --> 00:04:11,270
Skyler G:
And I'll be honest with you,
most of the reason I brought
124
00:04:11,270 --> 00:04:14,949
Skyler G:
Cursed Pirate was one, because
Cursed Pirates really cool,
125
00:04:14,949 --> 00:04:18,949
Skyler G:
thematically speaking, and two,
I knew that she placed really
126
00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:22,470
Skyler G:
well in the meta from just
discussion or pretty well in the
127
00:04:22,470 --> 00:04:25,509
Skyler G:
meta from discussions that we've
had in the past, uh.
128
00:04:25,870 --> 00:04:27,670
Bill Frosby:
Before this podcast as well.
129
00:04:27,670 --> 00:04:31,589
Bill Frosby:
Yes, yes, because we played the
three or four.
130
00:04:31,389 --> 00:04:34,310
Skyler G:
Now I want to say four.
131
00:04:34,430 --> 00:04:36,029
Bill Frosby:
As of recording this, I.
132
00:04:35,829 --> 00:04:38,870
Skyler G:
Believe so, and we're actually
scheduled to do one the same
133
00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:40,949
Skyler G:
week that we are recording this.
134
00:04:40,949 --> 00:04:42,790
Skyler G:
So yes.
135
00:04:42,949 --> 00:04:47,709
Bill Frosby:
So, but you but you've been
being cursed by it.
136
00:04:47,550 --> 00:04:50,949
Skyler G:
Yes. Well, and then so I brought
cursed pirate like maybe the
137
00:04:50,949 --> 00:04:52,560
Skyler G:
first two times.
138
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:53,839
Skyler G:
and then I brought.
139
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:54,120
Skyler G:
Huh?
140
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,480
Skyler G:
Have you brought this other
person?
141
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,040
Skyler G:
Yes.
142
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,079
Skyler G:
So this was the other two?
143
00:04:57,079 --> 00:04:57,439
Skyler G:
Once.
144
00:04:57,439 --> 00:04:58,920
Skyler G:
But I didn't get to play him.
145
00:04:58,920 --> 00:04:59,920
Skyler G:
Oh, wait, no, I think I did.
146
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:02,560
Skyler G:
I think I did once, uh, Paladin.
147
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,199
Skyler G:
Oh, really?
148
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:03,959
Skyler G:
You brought Paladin?
149
00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:05,360
Skyler G:
I did, and I only brought
150
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,920
Skyler G:
Paladin, uh, because normally I
151
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,319
Skyler G:
would have leaned towards
152
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:10,800
Skyler G:
Seraph, which is something that
153
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,920
Skyler G:
I've done in our friend
154
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,959
Skyler G:
tournaments.
155
00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:15,240
Skyler G:
And then you said, she's
terrible.
156
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,079
Skyler G:
She's terrible.
157
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:18,720
Skyler G:
And Paladin did a lot of the
same things.
158
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,680
Skyler G:
Better, but better.
159
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,199
Skyler G:
Yeah.
160
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:21,680
Skyler G:
Well, to be fair, in.
161
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,800
Bill Frosby:
Our tournaments, uh, we played
casual tournaments.
162
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,160
Bill Frosby:
So like we, you like when you're
playing casual, you don't really
163
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,279
Bill Frosby:
know what the mirror is like.
164
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:27,759
Bill Frosby:
Who cares?
165
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:28,240
Bill Frosby:
Right?
166
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:28,639
Bill Frosby:
Yep.
167
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:30,120
Bill Frosby:
Uh, we're just playing for fun.
168
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,439
Bill Frosby:
But like, through those
tournaments, our whole friend
169
00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:35,720
Bill Frosby:
group, uh, was learning that
like Paladin was like the
170
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,199
Bill Frosby:
strongest, especially back when
we played just season one and
171
00:05:38,199 --> 00:05:40,720
Bill Frosby:
season two, we were like, oh,
Paladin's really strong.
172
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,079
Bill Frosby:
And so I remember one of our
173
00:05:42,079 --> 00:05:43,959
Bill Frosby:
tournaments, uh, we were doing
174
00:05:43,959 --> 00:05:46,680
Bill Frosby:
bands and, uh, everyone would
175
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:47,920
Bill Frosby:
just, you would ban someone
176
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:48,959
Bill Frosby:
before people would bring
177
00:05:48,959 --> 00:05:49,639
Bill Frosby:
someone, right?
178
00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:50,120
Bill Frosby:
Yeah.
179
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,480
Bill Frosby:
And everyone was just banning
Paladin.
180
00:05:52,399 --> 00:05:53,279
Skyler G:
Interesting.
181
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,019
Bill Frosby:
And I remember that because of
182
00:05:55,019 --> 00:05:58,160
Bill Frosby:
that, uh, you started bringing
183
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,540
Bill Frosby:
Sarah because you're like
184
00:05:59,540 --> 00:06:00,040
Bill Frosby:
Paladin.
185
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:00,279
Bill Frosby:
Sarah.
186
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,040
Bill Frosby:
I feel like the same vibe, same
theme.
187
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,560
Bill Frosby:
So I'll play Sarah and then you
start playing Sarah.
188
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,040
Bill Frosby:
And I'm not sure if you had a
lot of success with her.
189
00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:10,199
Skyler G:
When we did the friend
tournament, uh, I once played it
190
00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:14,120
Skyler G:
was Paladin Sarah because nobody
was banning Paladin, Paladin,
191
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,199
Skyler G:
Seraph, and I don't even
remember what the other one was.
192
00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:18,959
Skyler G:
I freaking wiped the floor,
dude.
193
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:20,959
Skyler G:
And again, this is friend
tournament.
194
00:06:20,959 --> 00:06:22,480
Skyler G:
The whole like, Skyler's gonna
195
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:23,660
Skyler G:
win first place in a ranked
196
00:06:23,660 --> 00:06:24,600
Skyler G:
tournament thing that still
197
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,399
Skyler G:
stands.
198
00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:28,360
Skyler G:
But I decimated everybody.
199
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,319
Skyler G:
I didn't lose a single game that
night.
200
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:32,040
Skyler G:
I don't remember who the third
person was.
201
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,079
Skyler G:
I really wish I could, uh, but
202
00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:35,720
Skyler G:
yeah, I freaking blew through
203
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:36,199
Skyler G:
everybody.
204
00:06:36,199 --> 00:06:37,240
Skyler G:
It was awesome.
205
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,639
Bill Frosby:
So you're saying your team is
Psylocke?
206
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:45,000
Skyler G:
Let's go. Psylocke, Pyromancer
and Paladin.
207
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:45,920
Bill Frosby:
That's fair.
208
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,079
Bill Frosby:
That's a good tip.
209
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:48,850
Skyler G:
Hey, it's a good team.
210
00:06:48,850 --> 00:06:50,050
Skyler G:
All right, all right, we're
good.
211
00:06:50,050 --> 00:06:51,490
Skyler G:
I'm just gonna.
212
00:06:51,490 --> 00:06:52,769
Skyler G:
I'm gonna lock it in from here
on out.
213
00:06:52,769 --> 00:06:54,009
Skyler G:
It's the perfect team.
214
00:06:54,129 --> 00:06:56,889
Bill Frosby:
Yeah, it's an interesting team,
to say the least.
215
00:06:56,769 --> 00:06:58,889
Skyler G:
Um, you don't have to be
facetious.
216
00:06:59,730 --> 00:07:05,310
Bill Frosby:
You don't have, uh, because we
we've done our, our top ten
217
00:07:05,310 --> 00:07:07,410
Bill Frosby:
ranking, uh, before this.
218
00:07:07,410 --> 00:07:07,970
Bill Frosby:
I think the.
219
00:07:07,769 --> 00:07:08,290
Skyler G:
Meta.
220
00:07:08,089 --> 00:07:10,850
Bill Frosby:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
221
00:07:10,850 --> 00:07:14,410
Bill Frosby:
Um, and none of yours are on the
top ten though.
222
00:07:14,410 --> 00:07:15,689
Bill Frosby:
Pyro is right on the edge.
223
00:07:15,689 --> 00:07:19,209
Bill Frosby:
That maybe could be ten and then
Paladins right under that.
224
00:07:19,209 --> 00:07:26,490
Bill Frosby:
The problem is, um, Paladin is
falling off because a lot of the
225
00:07:26,490 --> 00:07:29,769
Bill Frosby:
newer characters have had really
good sources of undefendable and
226
00:07:29,769 --> 00:07:33,490
Bill Frosby:
a lot of extra damage that
Paladin just can't keep up with.
227
00:07:33,490 --> 00:07:36,129
Bill Frosby:
Um, and a lot of the newer
228
00:07:36,129 --> 00:07:37,449
Bill Frosby:
characters are just like way too
229
00:07:37,449 --> 00:07:38,769
Bill Frosby:
fast or they're like ravenous
230
00:07:38,769 --> 00:07:39,769
Bill Frosby:
and they just go around his
231
00:07:39,769 --> 00:07:41,490
Bill Frosby:
defense entirely.
232
00:07:41,490 --> 00:07:41,970
Bill Frosby:
Right?
233
00:07:41,970 --> 00:07:42,889
Bill Frosby:
Or a necros case.
234
00:07:42,889 --> 00:07:45,490
Bill Frosby:
Necro just hits him way too hard
way too often and he can't keep
235
00:07:45,490 --> 00:07:45,930
Bill Frosby:
up with it.
236
00:07:45,930 --> 00:07:46,610
Bill Frosby:
Right.
237
00:07:46,610 --> 00:07:49,980
Bill Frosby:
Uh, Because Paladin wants to
slow the game down and when
238
00:07:49,980 --> 00:07:54,300
Bill Frosby:
through slowing it down, which
is the other reason I don't like
239
00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:58,120
Bill Frosby:
bringing Paladin, because almost
every Paladin game I've won,
240
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,639
Bill Frosby:
I've won by playing the game
long and just slowly coming back
241
00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:05,379
Bill Frosby:
like the opponent gets a good
start on you, right?
242
00:08:05,379 --> 00:08:07,420
Bill Frosby:
And then you get to like the
late game.
243
00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:10,180
Bill Frosby:
And then you'll have like all
the good cards on your board.
244
00:08:10,180 --> 00:08:12,139
Bill Frosby:
You have all the good cards in
your hand and your opponent's
245
00:08:12,139 --> 00:08:15,139
Bill Frosby:
like everything, and they're
just kind of throwing whatever
246
00:08:15,139 --> 00:08:19,500
Bill Frosby:
they came at you, uh, while you
are slowly whittling them back
247
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:20,220
Bill Frosby:
with a couple holes.
248
00:08:20,220 --> 00:08:20,860
Bill Frosby:
Right?
249
00:08:20,860 --> 00:08:24,420
Bill Frosby:
The problem is in ranked format,
there's a time limit.
250
00:08:24,420 --> 00:08:26,019
Bill Frosby:
And when the time runs out, you
251
00:08:26,019 --> 00:08:27,259
Bill Frosby:
check the scores, and whoever
252
00:08:27,259 --> 00:08:28,420
Bill Frosby:
has a higher health wins that
253
00:08:28,420 --> 00:08:29,660
Bill Frosby:
game, right?
254
00:08:29,660 --> 00:08:31,779
Bill Frosby:
In ranked format with the time
limit.
255
00:08:31,779 --> 00:08:33,500
Bill Frosby:
I don't like bringing Paladin
256
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:35,379
Bill Frosby:
because of the fact that like
257
00:08:35,379 --> 00:08:37,100
Bill Frosby:
you can't guarantee you'll have
258
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:38,460
Bill Frosby:
more health if it goes to time
259
00:08:38,460 --> 00:08:39,779
Bill Frosby:
and most likely will always go
260
00:08:39,779 --> 00:08:40,220
Bill Frosby:
to time.
261
00:08:40,220 --> 00:08:40,980
Bill Frosby:
Gotcha.
262
00:08:41,340 --> 00:08:42,019
Skyler G:
Okay.
263
00:08:41,860 --> 00:08:44,899
Bill Frosby:
That's my my gripe with how he's
too slow.
264
00:08:44,740 --> 00:08:45,779
Skyler G:
He's a think.
265
00:08:45,779 --> 00:08:48,899
Bill Frosby:
I think if like rounds were like
thirty minutes, like forty
266
00:08:48,899 --> 00:08:51,899
Bill Frosby:
minutes and you were just
cooking really fast with
267
00:08:51,899 --> 00:08:53,299
Bill Frosby:
Paladin, I think it'd be fine.
268
00:08:53,299 --> 00:08:54,419
Bill Frosby:
But the current format and the
269
00:08:54,419 --> 00:08:55,840
Bill Frosby:
way it is, I just wouldn't bring
270
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:56,539
Bill Frosby:
Paladin.
271
00:08:56,539 --> 00:08:57,259
Bill Frosby:
Okay.
272
00:08:57,259 --> 00:08:59,700
Bill Frosby:
Unless if you're really
comfortable on him and you can
273
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:01,620
Bill Frosby:
take your turns in, like, 30s.
274
00:09:01,460 --> 00:09:02,379
Skyler G:
Sure, sure.
275
00:09:02,379 --> 00:09:06,259
Skyler G:
Now, I mean, with the way that
the ranked play works, at least
276
00:09:06,259 --> 00:09:09,379
Skyler G:
in person, you kind of have to
have time limit.
277
00:09:09,379 --> 00:09:10,379
Skyler G:
I mean, is there really.
278
00:09:10,379 --> 00:09:10,740
Skyler G:
No.
279
00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:11,539
Bill Frosby:
You have to have time.
280
00:09:11,539 --> 00:09:12,340
Bill Frosby:
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
281
00:09:12,179 --> 00:09:13,500
Skyler G:
So there's probably not an
282
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:15,220
Skyler G:
instance since he plays so
283
00:09:15,220 --> 00:09:16,539
Skyler G:
slowly where it would make
284
00:09:16,539 --> 00:09:17,659
Skyler G:
sense.
285
00:09:17,659 --> 00:09:18,879
Skyler G:
Like I can't think of a I mean,
286
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:20,580
Skyler G:
unless time wasn't an issue for
287
00:09:20,580 --> 00:09:20,940
Skyler G:
the format.
288
00:09:20,940 --> 00:09:21,940
Skyler G:
And maybe that's why he worked
289
00:09:21,940 --> 00:09:23,279
Skyler G:
so well with the friend
290
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:23,620
Skyler G:
tournament.
291
00:09:23,620 --> 00:09:24,779
Skyler G:
We didn't have time limits.
292
00:09:24,779 --> 00:09:26,500
Skyler G:
You just played until someone
wanted.
293
00:09:26,340 --> 00:09:29,460
Bill Frosby:
Also, like on the Free Hawks
panel server.
294
00:09:29,460 --> 00:09:31,340
Bill Frosby:
There's no time limit there
either, so you could.
295
00:09:31,340 --> 00:09:31,899
Bill Frosby:
Oh, okay.
296
00:09:31,899 --> 00:09:32,620
Bill Frosby:
In there as well.
297
00:09:32,620 --> 00:09:33,139
Bill Frosby:
Sure.
298
00:09:33,139 --> 00:09:36,759
Bill Frosby:
Um, and I think if they bumped
up the time for rounds to ten
299
00:09:36,759 --> 00:09:39,179
Bill Frosby:
forty instead of thirty, I think
probably would be fine because
300
00:09:39,179 --> 00:09:39,820
Bill Frosby:
you know what you're doing.
301
00:09:39,820 --> 00:09:41,419
Bill Frosby:
You can take like, wait one
minute.
302
00:09:41,419 --> 00:09:41,700
Bill Frosby:
Sure.
303
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:42,259
Bill Frosby:
You're fine.
304
00:09:42,259 --> 00:09:43,629
Bill Frosby:
Yeah, you'll be fine.
305
00:09:43,629 --> 00:09:48,870
Bill Frosby:
It's just if you end up taking
like twenty rounds, which is not
306
00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:52,509
Bill Frosby:
a crazy thought with Paladin
going twenty rounds, uh, if you
307
00:09:52,509 --> 00:09:55,049
Bill Frosby:
take one minute of turn twenty
rounds, that's twenty minutes
308
00:09:55,049 --> 00:09:55,710
Bill Frosby:
just for you.
309
00:09:55,710 --> 00:09:57,149
Bill Frosby:
And you're going fast.
310
00:09:57,149 --> 00:09:59,070
Bill Frosby:
So think about your opponent's
doing.
311
00:09:59,070 --> 00:09:59,710
Skyler G:
Fair enough.
312
00:09:59,710 --> 00:10:00,389
Skyler G:
Okay.
313
00:10:00,389 --> 00:10:06,269
Bill Frosby:
So. Okay. So that's why I don't
I recommend bringing okay.
314
00:10:06,269 --> 00:10:08,470
Bill Frosby:
Now, Pyromancer, you don't have
that problem.
315
00:10:08,470 --> 00:10:10,909
Bill Frosby:
And Pyromancer isn't actually a
bad pick at all.
316
00:10:10,909 --> 00:10:11,629
Bill Frosby:
Uh, actually.
317
00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:12,549
Skyler G:
I've been doing really well.
318
00:10:12,549 --> 00:10:13,230
Skyler G:
I was gonna say.
319
00:10:13,549 --> 00:10:15,269
Bill Frosby:
Pyromancer is actually.
320
00:10:15,269 --> 00:10:17,789
Bill Frosby:
So. Depends on where you were
playing ranked.
321
00:10:17,789 --> 00:10:19,429
Bill Frosby:
Um, it depends on what people
are bringing.
322
00:10:19,429 --> 00:10:22,029
Bill Frosby:
But if people are bringing a lot
of like the top class meta and
323
00:10:22,029 --> 00:10:22,870
Bill Frosby:
then what they're doing.
324
00:10:22,870 --> 00:10:26,129
Bill Frosby:
Pyromancer, that's where she
starts falling flat because she
325
00:10:26,129 --> 00:10:28,590
Bill Frosby:
hits hard, she hits fast.
326
00:10:28,590 --> 00:10:30,529
Bill Frosby:
Uh, and it takes, uh, either
327
00:10:30,529 --> 00:10:32,350
Bill Frosby:
good counter characters or good
328
00:10:32,350 --> 00:10:34,750
Bill Frosby:
skilled opponents to counter
329
00:10:34,750 --> 00:10:34,909
Bill Frosby:
her.
330
00:10:34,909 --> 00:10:35,190
Bill Frosby:
Okay.
331
00:10:35,190 --> 00:10:36,149
Bill Frosby:
Right.
332
00:10:36,149 --> 00:10:39,629
Bill Frosby:
Uh, the thing is, at oracles, we
don't have that.
333
00:10:39,629 --> 00:10:41,070
Bill Frosby:
So dang.
334
00:10:40,870 --> 00:10:41,399
Skyler G:
Savage.
335
00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:41,799
Skyler G:
I mean.
336
00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:43,240
Bill Frosby:
I mean, they're good and they're
337
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,120
Bill Frosby:
learning and stuff, but they
338
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,879
Bill Frosby:
don't bring like, they don't
339
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:47,940
Bill Frosby:
bring like the meta counters to
340
00:10:47,940 --> 00:10:48,720
Bill Frosby:
Pyromancer.
341
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:49,000
Bill Frosby:
Right?
342
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,159
Bill Frosby:
Pyromancer doesn't do well
343
00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:51,240
Bill Frosby:
against anyone with strong
344
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:51,840
Bill Frosby:
defenses.
345
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,919
Bill Frosby:
And honestly, all the people,
346
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:55,600
Bill Frosby:
all the characters, people bring
347
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,960
Bill Frosby:
strong pieces on mid-range
348
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,399
Bill Frosby:
characters.
349
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:01,159
Bill Frosby:
So Pyromancer is really good
too, because like you put on.
350
00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:02,200
Bill Frosby:
And that's the other thing about
351
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,919
Bill Frosby:
Pyromancer is she, uh, she
352
00:11:03,919 --> 00:11:05,519
Bill Frosby:
applies pressure and she applies
353
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:06,279
Bill Frosby:
it fast.
354
00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:08,000
Bill Frosby:
And then that kind of for newer
355
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,019
Bill Frosby:
players, uh, seeing you like
356
00:11:10,019 --> 00:11:12,000
Bill Frosby:
losing really quickly, uh, it
357
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,500
Bill Frosby:
causes you to kind of feel like
358
00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:16,200
Bill Frosby:
you're, you need to make plays
359
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,200
Bill Frosby:
and kind of do dumber choices
360
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,240
Bill Frosby:
because you're desperate to come
361
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:21,519
Bill Frosby:
back.
362
00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:22,360
Bill Frosby:
Right.
363
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,679
Bill Frosby:
Uh, with Pyromancer, sometimes
that's not the solution.
364
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,559
Bill Frosby:
Sometimes you have to play like
smarter plays.
365
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,240
Bill Frosby:
You might have to wait a turn.
366
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,480
Bill Frosby:
You don't force something if
it's not there, you wait.
367
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,120
Bill Frosby:
You take the best thing and hope
the next turn.
368
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,840
Bill Frosby:
Uh, you draw a better car to
increase your odds or your days.
369
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,000
Bill Frosby:
Well, better next turn.
370
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:45,440
Skyler G:
She does have that the the flame
token build up is burn.
371
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:45,960
Skyler G:
Yes.
372
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,279
Skyler G:
It's tricky.
373
00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:48,899
Skyler G:
It's a little frustrating
374
00:11:48,899 --> 00:11:50,740
Skyler G:
because you want to like pull in
375
00:11:50,740 --> 00:11:51,159
Skyler G:
those.
376
00:11:51,159 --> 00:11:54,000
Skyler G:
It's burn, not burn is something
you'd apply to somebody else.
377
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:54,720
Skyler G:
Oh, you're.
378
00:11:54,519 --> 00:11:55,720
Bill Frosby:
Talking about.
379
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:01,039
Skyler G:
Fire mastery. Yes. Yeah. So you
you want to build up those fire
380
00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:04,440
Skyler G:
masteries and you have several a
couple of attacks at least, or
381
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,399
Skyler G:
even some cards, I think that
can do attack modifiers that
382
00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:08,919
Skyler G:
require you to have those.
383
00:12:08,919 --> 00:12:11,440
Skyler G:
And yeah, so that's where it
gets a little frustrating
384
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,039
Skyler G:
because you lose one at the
start of your turn.
385
00:12:15,039 --> 00:12:16,639
Skyler G:
And so it's like you're trying
386
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:18,080
Skyler G:
desperately to build those up to
387
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,080
Skyler G:
your max.
388
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,259
Skyler G:
You don't want to have to, like
389
00:12:20,259 --> 00:12:22,600
Skyler G:
we talked about last time, where
390
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,639
Skyler G:
when you use an ability, you
391
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:26,039
Skyler G:
don't want to sort of waste the
392
00:12:26,039 --> 00:12:27,240
Skyler G:
resources that are coming in
393
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,720
Skyler G:
because those are all part of
394
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,159
Skyler G:
the ability, the value of the
395
00:12:30,159 --> 00:12:30,960
Skyler G:
ability.
396
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,840
Skyler G:
And so, yeah, that was the one
thing.
397
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:33,879
Skyler G:
The last time I played
398
00:12:33,879 --> 00:12:36,200
Skyler G:
Pyromancer for ranked was
399
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,559
Skyler G:
getting enough of those fire
400
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:38,929
Skyler G:
masteries to make some of those
401
00:12:38,929 --> 00:12:42,090
Skyler G:
abilities worthwhile, but also
402
00:12:42,090 --> 00:12:44,490
Skyler G:
getting them or getting to that
403
00:12:44,490 --> 00:12:45,009
Skyler G:
ability.
404
00:12:45,009 --> 00:12:49,850
Skyler G:
Once I had them and not losing
them along the way or so, so on.
405
00:12:49,889 --> 00:12:52,289
Bill Frosby:
But you have to be careful not
to force things on Pyromancer
406
00:12:52,289 --> 00:12:55,769
Bill Frosby:
because she doesn't have she has
no card draw, no economy.
407
00:12:55,769 --> 00:12:58,850
Bill Frosby:
So like, if you don't have any
mod cards in your hands, you
408
00:12:58,850 --> 00:13:00,049
Bill Frosby:
can't force it, right?
409
00:13:00,049 --> 00:13:01,490
Bill Frosby:
True, true.
410
00:13:01,490 --> 00:13:01,809
Bill Frosby:
Alright.
411
00:13:01,809 --> 00:13:02,409
Bill Frosby:
That's good.
412
00:13:02,409 --> 00:13:04,129
Bill Frosby:
Uh, I say if you're comfortable
413
00:13:04,129 --> 00:13:05,409
Bill Frosby:
playing her and you're still
414
00:13:05,409 --> 00:13:06,929
Bill Frosby:
trying to learn, like to be
415
00:13:06,929 --> 00:13:09,509
Bill Frosby:
competitive, she's a good
416
00:13:09,509 --> 00:13:10,409
Bill Frosby:
starter.
417
00:13:10,210 --> 00:13:12,730
Skyler G:
She's an easier character, which
is something I appreciate.
418
00:13:12,730 --> 00:13:16,049
Skyler G:
She's not overly complicated,
like a two or probably a two.
419
00:13:15,889 --> 00:13:17,529
Bill Frosby:
I don't know Pokemon at all.
420
00:13:17,370 --> 00:13:17,809
Skyler G:
Oh, okay.
421
00:13:17,649 --> 00:13:19,169
Bill Frosby:
But here's a Pokemon reference.
422
00:13:19,169 --> 00:13:21,850
Bill Frosby:
She's your Charmander starter
Pokemon.
423
00:13:21,850 --> 00:13:22,529
Bill Frosby:
Okay.
424
00:13:22,529 --> 00:13:23,450
Bill Frosby:
Is that right?
425
00:13:23,370 --> 00:13:23,929
Skyler G:
Sure.
426
00:13:23,730 --> 00:13:24,929
Bill Frosby:
Yeah, that's a starter.
427
00:13:24,769 --> 00:13:25,210
Skyler G:
Yeah.
428
00:13:25,009 --> 00:13:25,330
Bill Frosby:
Oh, yeah.
429
00:13:25,330 --> 00:13:26,769
Bill Frosby:
Yeah. And he's really simple.
430
00:13:26,769 --> 00:13:28,889
Bill Frosby:
Just does high damage fire,
right?
431
00:13:30,169 --> 00:13:30,809
Bill Frosby:
Yeah.
432
00:13:31,009 --> 00:13:34,330
Skyler G:
But are we going to, like
Charizard level or are we just
433
00:13:34,330 --> 00:13:35,450
Skyler G:
like you're saying?
434
00:13:35,450 --> 00:13:38,059
Skyler G:
No. Like if everybody's picking
starters.
435
00:13:38,059 --> 00:13:38,899
Skyler G:
Yeah, yeah.
436
00:13:38,899 --> 00:13:39,340
Skyler G:
Oh, okay.
437
00:13:39,340 --> 00:13:42,460
Skyler G:
It's just like in a world of
like, this is where it goes out
438
00:13:42,460 --> 00:13:43,779
Skyler G:
of my Pokemon reference.
439
00:13:43,779 --> 00:13:46,460
Skyler G:
But like in a world of like,
everyone's got like the starter
440
00:13:46,460 --> 00:13:48,860
Skyler G:
Pokemon or pokemons they find on
that first level.
441
00:13:48,860 --> 00:13:49,179
Skyler G:
Okay.
442
00:13:49,179 --> 00:13:49,860
Skyler G:
Right.
443
00:13:49,860 --> 00:13:51,179
Skyler G:
Charmander is pretty strong.
444
00:13:51,179 --> 00:13:51,659
Skyler G:
Sure.
445
00:13:51,659 --> 00:13:54,940
Skyler G:
Um, but the thing is, once you
get to like the higher pools.
446
00:13:54,940 --> 00:13:55,340
Skyler G:
Oh, I see.
447
00:13:55,340 --> 00:13:56,700
Skyler G:
You can't bring a Charmander
anymore.
448
00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:58,820
Skyler G:
Or you start to get to go to a
gym.
449
00:13:58,820 --> 00:14:01,179
Skyler G:
You're not bringing, like, a
brand new Charmander, right?
450
00:14:01,179 --> 00:14:03,220
Skyler G:
You got to bring, like, a
leveled up Charmander.
451
00:14:03,220 --> 00:14:03,740
Skyler G:
Sure.
452
00:14:03,740 --> 00:14:06,179
Skyler G:
Like a the the evolve Charmander
or whatever that is.
453
00:14:06,179 --> 00:14:06,779
Skyler G:
Yeah, yeah.
454
00:14:06,779 --> 00:14:07,539
Skyler G:
Uh, Charmeleon.
455
00:14:07,539 --> 00:14:09,580
Skyler G:
Yeah, but but you see my point,
right?
456
00:14:09,580 --> 00:14:12,019
Skyler G:
I see what you mean when you're
first learning the game.
457
00:14:12,019 --> 00:14:14,539
Skyler G:
It's a good character for you to
start on because it definitely
458
00:14:14,539 --> 00:14:15,860
Skyler G:
learns you timing.
459
00:14:15,860 --> 00:14:16,299
Skyler G:
Mhm.
460
00:14:16,299 --> 00:14:19,299
Skyler G:
Over stack limits, building
stacks.
461
00:14:19,299 --> 00:14:21,539
Skyler G:
Like you get this whole like it
462
00:14:21,539 --> 00:14:23,000
Skyler G:
teaches you a lot of the simple
463
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,860
Skyler G:
basics of the game will still be
464
00:14:24,860 --> 00:14:26,179
Skyler G:
a good, aggressive, high damage
465
00:14:26,179 --> 00:14:26,700
Skyler G:
character.
466
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:28,259
Skyler G:
You know, I would not for those
467
00:14:28,259 --> 00:14:29,500
Skyler G:
out there that are listening and
468
00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:30,799
Skyler G:
they're one hundred percent are
469
00:14:30,799 --> 00:14:32,460
Skyler G:
that are big Pokemon fans, I
470
00:14:32,460 --> 00:14:33,779
Skyler G:
wouldn't be doing it justice if
471
00:14:33,779 --> 00:14:35,710
Skyler G:
I didn't say to you that
472
00:14:35,710 --> 00:14:37,470
Skyler G:
actually, ironically, in the
473
00:14:37,470 --> 00:14:38,950
Skyler G:
original games, Charmander is
474
00:14:38,950 --> 00:14:39,990
Skyler G:
one of the worst picks that you
475
00:14:39,990 --> 00:14:40,309
Skyler G:
can make.
476
00:14:40,309 --> 00:14:41,830
Skyler G:
For starters, I get it because
477
00:14:41,830 --> 00:14:42,789
Skyler G:
like, there's a fire thing
478
00:14:42,789 --> 00:14:44,350
Skyler G:
that's matching here between
479
00:14:44,350 --> 00:14:45,029
Skyler G:
Pyromancer.
480
00:14:45,029 --> 00:14:45,389
Skyler G:
Mhm.
481
00:14:45,389 --> 00:14:49,190
Skyler G:
Um, but like the first gym that
you go up against is Brock.
482
00:14:49,190 --> 00:14:52,389
Skyler G:
And so you're coming in against
a dude with rock and ground
483
00:14:52,389 --> 00:14:55,389
Skyler G:
types with a fire type, and it's
completely useless unless you
484
00:14:55,389 --> 00:14:57,590
Skyler G:
can get it to learn metal claw
before you get there.
485
00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:58,470
Skyler G:
But anyway, that's a whole
486
00:14:58,470 --> 00:14:59,350
Skyler G:
that's a whole separate
487
00:14:59,350 --> 00:15:00,750
Skyler G:
discussion.
488
00:15:00,750 --> 00:15:01,909
Skyler G:
I just thought that was lost.
489
00:15:01,909 --> 00:15:04,190
Skyler G:
Yeah, I know, I know.
490
00:15:04,190 --> 00:15:06,870
Skyler G:
Um, well, I got out of that was
491
00:15:06,870 --> 00:15:08,409
Skyler G:
there's a guy named Brock who
492
00:15:08,409 --> 00:15:09,669
Skyler G:
uses rocks.
493
00:15:09,669 --> 00:15:10,470
Skyler G:
He uses rocks.
494
00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:10,870
Skyler G:
Yes.
495
00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:11,750
Skyler G:
That's pretty funny.
496
00:15:11,750 --> 00:15:11,990
Skyler G:
It's.
497
00:15:11,990 --> 00:15:12,269
Skyler G:
Yeah.
498
00:15:12,269 --> 00:15:13,110
Skyler G:
Yeah, they're pretty good.
499
00:15:13,110 --> 00:15:15,950
Skyler G:
This this is how I sell you on
Pokemon.
500
00:15:15,950 --> 00:15:20,029
Skyler G:
For those of you listening, Bill
dodges my Pokemon related
501
00:15:20,029 --> 00:15:22,269
Skyler G:
references and everything.
502
00:15:22,269 --> 00:15:22,669
Skyler G:
Pokemon.
503
00:15:22,669 --> 00:15:25,590
Skyler G:
I'm actually surprised that you
brought it up because normally
504
00:15:25,590 --> 00:15:27,350
Skyler G:
you dodge it like the plague.
505
00:15:27,350 --> 00:15:29,629
Skyler G:
I was trying to make a reference
that you would get.
506
00:15:29,629 --> 00:15:31,029
Skyler G:
Turns out it didn't work.
507
00:15:31,029 --> 00:15:32,230
Skyler G:
Well, no, no, no, it did, it
did.
508
00:15:32,230 --> 00:15:33,350
Skyler G:
I totally get what you're
saying.
509
00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:33,990
Skyler G:
I get what you're saying.
510
00:15:33,990 --> 00:15:35,230
Skyler G:
It wasn't a sports metaphor, and
511
00:15:35,230 --> 00:15:36,710
Skyler G:
I appreciate that, because then
512
00:15:36,710 --> 00:15:38,029
Skyler G:
I'd have to do it anyways in
513
00:15:38,029 --> 00:15:38,830
Skyler G:
sports ball.
514
00:15:38,830 --> 00:15:39,590
Skyler G:
The closest.
515
00:15:39,590 --> 00:15:43,710
Skyler G:
Oh, no. No, dad, I don't
understand sports metaphors.
516
00:15:43,710 --> 00:15:46,669
Skyler G:
If I go to your last pick, the
best pick.
517
00:15:46,669 --> 00:15:47,789
Skyler G:
Bill.
518
00:15:47,789 --> 00:15:49,509
Skyler G:
Psylocke, Psylocke.
519
00:15:49,509 --> 00:15:50,789
Skyler G:
Okay, so here.
520
00:15:50,789 --> 00:15:52,429
Skyler G:
I've got a lot of things to say
here.
521
00:15:52,429 --> 00:15:53,909
Skyler G:
Oh, boy, oh, boy.
522
00:15:53,909 --> 00:15:54,990
Skyler G:
I'm scared.
523
00:15:56,549 --> 00:15:57,629
Skyler G:
Psylocke can be good.
524
00:15:57,629 --> 00:16:00,590
Skyler G:
Okay, uh, but she's only good in
desert.
525
00:16:00,590 --> 00:16:01,870
Skyler G:
She's a counter character.
526
00:16:01,870 --> 00:16:02,710
Skyler G:
Does that make sense?
527
00:16:02,710 --> 00:16:06,029
Skyler G:
Um, so she's stopping people
from giving out their, their
528
00:16:06,029 --> 00:16:09,429
Skyler G:
tokens, their status effects, or
like characters who are very
529
00:16:09,429 --> 00:16:12,850
Skyler G:
reliant on their status effect
game think like tactician, like
530
00:16:12,850 --> 00:16:16,509
Skyler G:
Cyclops, uh, Cyclops.
531
00:16:16,509 --> 00:16:19,090
Skyler G:
I don't want to think about who
loves being the loser and stuff
532
00:16:19,090 --> 00:16:21,269
Skyler G:
like, um, no, no, a lot.
533
00:16:21,269 --> 00:16:24,590
Skyler G:
All these characters are middle
of the road and that's kind of
534
00:16:24,590 --> 00:16:27,070
Skyler G:
why they're there is because
when you become a little too
535
00:16:27,070 --> 00:16:32,139
Skyler G:
reliant on status effects, gain
on your turns, uh, if you have
536
00:16:32,139 --> 00:16:34,360
Skyler G:
bad terms where you don't get
side effects, then you're kind
537
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:35,840
Skyler G:
of losing them in the long run.
538
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,440
Skyler G:
So that's why those I think all
those characters are more in the
539
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,440
Skyler G:
middle of the road.
540
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,399
Skyler G:
Um, but like some people would
541
00:16:41,399 --> 00:16:42,559
Skyler G:
argue they're really strong
542
00:16:42,559 --> 00:16:44,600
Skyler G:
because if you use their side
543
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:45,919
Skyler G:
effects and all that gain to
544
00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:47,679
Skyler G:
their maximum ability, a ton of
545
00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:48,240
Skyler G:
high end.
546
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,919
Skyler G:
So it's to each their own
different, different theories
547
00:16:50,919 --> 00:16:51,720
Skyler G:
with people and stuff.
548
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:57,419
Skyler G:
But at the end of the day,
sorry, Psylocke with paralyzed
549
00:16:57,419 --> 00:16:58,759
Skyler G:
stops them from gaining nodes.
550
00:16:58,759 --> 00:17:01,559
Skyler G:
And that's the whole reason you
bring a Psylocke.
551
00:17:01,559 --> 00:17:04,200
Skyler G:
Um, Psylocke does decent against
552
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,440
Skyler G:
characters since she's got
553
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:05,920
Skyler G:
agility.
554
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,720
Skyler G:
So characters who do big swings,
you can have them.
555
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,119
Skyler G:
But the problem with that is
abilities aren't guaranteed.
556
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:17,319
Skyler G:
And also Psylocke, uh, her
board's really weird where like,
557
00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:22,799
Skyler G:
you, like you want to bring her
to counter characters.
558
00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:23,839
Skyler G:
She likes that.
559
00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:26,440
Skyler G:
That's the only reason you're
playing her, in my opinion.
560
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:27,680
Skyler G:
Why you're bringing it, right?
561
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:29,970
Skyler G:
That's why you're doing it.
562
00:17:29,970 --> 00:17:31,170
Skyler G:
You're really never going to go
563
00:17:31,170 --> 00:17:32,730
Skyler G:
for an ability that does agility
564
00:17:32,730 --> 00:17:34,109
Skyler G:
because they're not together,
565
00:17:34,109 --> 00:17:35,289
Skyler G:
right?
566
00:17:35,289 --> 00:17:37,609
Skyler G:
So then the other reason you
567
00:17:37,609 --> 00:17:39,609
Skyler G:
play cyborg is people swing big
568
00:17:39,609 --> 00:17:40,849
Skyler G:
and they hit at you and you can
569
00:17:40,849 --> 00:17:41,609
Skyler G:
gain agility.
570
00:17:41,609 --> 00:17:43,569
Skyler G:
So then you go for the agility
abilities.
571
00:17:43,569 --> 00:17:44,009
Skyler G:
Mhm.
572
00:17:44,009 --> 00:17:46,329
Skyler G:
The problem is the ability the
573
00:17:46,329 --> 00:17:48,250
Skyler G:
agility abilities are some of
574
00:17:48,250 --> 00:17:50,049
Skyler G:
her weaker damage abilities on
575
00:17:50,049 --> 00:17:50,809
Skyler G:
her board.
576
00:17:50,809 --> 00:17:55,430
Skyler G:
So you're you're lowering your
577
00:17:55,430 --> 00:17:59,190
Skyler G:
damage output for potential gain
578
00:17:59,190 --> 00:18:01,009
Skyler G:
of having damage, which isn't
579
00:18:01,009 --> 00:18:01,609
Skyler G:
guaranteed.
580
00:18:01,609 --> 00:18:05,069
Skyler G:
So then the question you have to
ask yourself is, do you want to
581
00:18:05,069 --> 00:18:09,809
Skyler G:
do guaranteed higher amounts of
damage in a guaranteed status
582
00:18:09,809 --> 00:18:14,769
Skyler G:
effect, like your paralyze or
your one that can let you reroll
583
00:18:14,769 --> 00:18:16,930
Skyler G:
an opponent's defensive role,
which again, some opponents can
584
00:18:16,930 --> 00:18:17,690
Skyler G:
be really good.
585
00:18:17,690 --> 00:18:17,970
Skyler G:
Right.
586
00:18:17,970 --> 00:18:19,690
Skyler G:
Or do you want to take less
587
00:18:19,690 --> 00:18:21,869
Skyler G:
damage and then gain an agility
588
00:18:21,869 --> 00:18:22,769
Skyler G:
which isn't?
589
00:18:22,769 --> 00:18:23,730
Skyler G:
You see what I mean?
590
00:18:23,730 --> 00:18:24,849
Skyler G:
Gotcha.
591
00:18:24,849 --> 00:18:27,809
Skyler G:
So it's it's two abilities Or
592
00:18:27,809 --> 00:18:29,369
Skyler G:
sorry, two status effects that
593
00:18:29,369 --> 00:18:30,710
Skyler G:
just really don't have good
594
00:18:30,710 --> 00:18:32,049
Skyler G:
synergy together.
595
00:18:33,569 --> 00:18:35,250
Skyler G:
Because it's not that it's not
596
00:18:35,250 --> 00:18:36,329
Skyler G:
that they are good synergy
597
00:18:36,329 --> 00:18:37,329
Skyler G:
together, it's just that you're
598
00:18:37,329 --> 00:18:38,690
Skyler G:
not able to get them at the same
599
00:18:38,690 --> 00:18:38,849
Skyler G:
time.
600
00:18:38,849 --> 00:18:39,170
Skyler G:
Oh, sure.
601
00:18:39,170 --> 00:18:39,569
Skyler G:
Sure, sure.
602
00:18:39,569 --> 00:18:39,849
Skyler G:
Yeah.
603
00:18:39,849 --> 00:18:43,410
Skyler G:
Board only gives you one status
effect at a time, and it's
604
00:18:43,410 --> 00:18:48,170
Skyler G:
either paralyzed or that one
that gives you the, I don't know
605
00:18:48,170 --> 00:18:49,410
Skyler G:
what it's called.
606
00:18:49,410 --> 00:18:52,849
Skyler G:
Uh oh, shoot, I just had it.
607
00:18:52,849 --> 00:18:55,089
Skyler G:
It's called infiltration.
608
00:18:55,089 --> 00:18:56,369
Skyler G:
Infiltration.
609
00:18:56,369 --> 00:18:57,650
Skyler G:
Um, there's that.
610
00:18:57,650 --> 00:19:01,329
Skyler G:
And then the, I will say her
mini ult does give you agility
611
00:19:01,329 --> 00:19:03,769
Skyler G:
and infiltration at the same
time, but that kind of sucks
612
00:19:03,769 --> 00:19:06,769
Skyler G:
because you would have preferred
agility and paralyze at the same
613
00:19:06,769 --> 00:19:10,490
Skyler G:
time, but it's whatever, you
know, like I said, like hurt.
614
00:19:10,490 --> 00:19:13,809
Skyler G:
And don't get me wrong, her
agility do seven damage, but
615
00:19:13,809 --> 00:19:16,529
Skyler G:
like her paralysis does six
damage and paralyze.
616
00:19:16,529 --> 00:19:17,529
Skyler G:
At the end of the day, I'd
617
00:19:17,529 --> 00:19:19,730
Skyler G:
prefer paralyze six damage
618
00:19:19,730 --> 00:19:20,970
Skyler G:
versus the agility and seven
619
00:19:20,970 --> 00:19:22,410
Skyler G:
damage because the paralyze is
620
00:19:22,410 --> 00:19:24,210
Skyler G:
guaranteed while the agility
621
00:19:24,210 --> 00:19:24,890
Skyler G:
isn't.
622
00:19:24,890 --> 00:19:29,660
Skyler G:
And also the big point I'm
getting here is you pick
623
00:19:29,660 --> 00:19:32,059
Skyler G:
Psylocke as a counter character.
624
00:19:32,059 --> 00:19:32,420
Skyler G:
Yeah.
625
00:19:32,420 --> 00:19:35,059
Skyler G:
Which is a strategy when
building a team.
626
00:19:35,059 --> 00:19:37,940
Skyler G:
So when you're building a team,
you could build three strong
627
00:19:37,940 --> 00:19:40,099
Skyler G:
characters who will kind of work
together with each other.
628
00:19:40,099 --> 00:19:41,259
Skyler G:
You could build two strong
629
00:19:41,259 --> 00:19:42,500
Skyler G:
characters and bring in like a
630
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:43,779
Skyler G:
counter character.
631
00:19:43,779 --> 00:19:45,299
Skyler G:
A great example of this right
632
00:19:45,299 --> 00:19:48,220
Skyler G:
now is Raven is really popular
633
00:19:48,220 --> 00:19:49,140
Skyler G:
in the meta right now,
634
00:19:49,140 --> 00:19:50,700
Skyler G:
especially on people's local
635
00:19:50,700 --> 00:19:51,500
Skyler G:
events.
636
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:54,859
Skyler G:
And a big counter to her is a
Black Panther.
637
00:19:54,859 --> 00:19:56,859
Skyler G:
He is the counter to the Ravens,
right?
638
00:19:56,859 --> 00:19:59,900
Skyler G:
Because every time she hits him
with the bird, a peck of the
639
00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:01,259
Skyler G:
bird, it gives him a kinetic.
640
00:20:01,259 --> 00:20:03,980
Skyler G:
That's extreme value for the
Black Panther, right?
641
00:20:03,980 --> 00:20:07,940
Skyler G:
So people have been bringing
because Raven is big right now,
642
00:20:07,940 --> 00:20:10,299
Skyler G:
people have been bringing like
two strong characters in Black
643
00:20:10,299 --> 00:20:13,460
Skyler G:
Panther with the idea that,
like, if my opponent is bringing
644
00:20:13,460 --> 00:20:15,220
Skyler G:
Raven, I won't ban Raven.
645
00:20:15,220 --> 00:20:18,500
Skyler G:
And then, uh, I'll play Black
Panther against him.
646
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:19,680
Skyler G:
Because if your other two
647
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,180
Skyler G:
characters are stronger, Black
648
00:20:21,180 --> 00:20:24,549
Skyler G:
Panther in a vacuum isn't the
649
00:20:24,549 --> 00:20:25,829
Skyler G:
strongest character.
650
00:20:25,829 --> 00:20:29,069
Skyler G:
He's right in the middle because
he's so matchup dependent.
651
00:20:29,069 --> 00:20:30,029
Skyler G:
If he's good or not.
652
00:20:30,029 --> 00:20:31,829
Skyler G:
So no one's really gonna ban
him.
653
00:20:31,829 --> 00:20:34,109
Skyler G:
The only people that might are
Raven is players who see him,
654
00:20:34,109 --> 00:20:35,190
Skyler G:
and they're terrified of that.
655
00:20:35,190 --> 00:20:39,990
Skyler G:
But that's on them for for just
training.
656
00:20:39,990 --> 00:20:43,109
Skyler G:
Because because if you ban Black
Panther, you go, cool, I'll play
657
00:20:43,109 --> 00:20:44,349
Skyler G:
the two stronger characters.
658
00:20:44,349 --> 00:20:45,950
Skyler G:
I meant I want to play anyways.
659
00:20:45,950 --> 00:20:46,869
Skyler G:
Exactly.
660
00:20:46,869 --> 00:20:49,750
Skyler G:
Um, that's the thing with
Psylocke is she counters.
661
00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:53,509
Skyler G:
And so say there's a meta period
where there's a lot of
662
00:20:53,509 --> 00:20:56,430
Skyler G:
characters who are strong who
like game stats effects.
663
00:20:56,430 --> 00:20:57,869
Skyler G:
Uh. Psylocke is a really good
counter.
664
00:20:57,869 --> 00:21:01,509
Skyler G:
A good example of this is, um, I
665
00:21:01,509 --> 00:21:02,910
Skyler G:
saw I watched the match last
666
00:21:02,910 --> 00:21:03,069
Skyler G:
night.
667
00:21:03,069 --> 00:21:03,990
Skyler G:
I actually hadn't played this
668
00:21:03,990 --> 00:21:05,230
Skyler G:
matchup, but I watched it last
669
00:21:05,230 --> 00:21:05,630
Skyler G:
night.
670
00:21:05,630 --> 00:21:08,630
Skyler G:
A few people playing Psylocke
versus Headless Horseman.
671
00:21:08,630 --> 00:21:12,730
Skyler G:
And as horsemen really wants to
gain a lot of terrifies or
672
00:21:12,730 --> 00:21:16,029
Skyler G:
dreadfuls and or his grim
pursuits during his turn.
673
00:21:16,029 --> 00:21:16,670
Skyler G:
Right.
674
00:21:16,670 --> 00:21:19,150
Skyler G:
Um, he was still able to get
them from his defensive role.
675
00:21:19,150 --> 00:21:21,750
Skyler G:
Or when he tosses the pumpkin at
the start of his turn and at the
676
00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:22,720
Skyler G:
end of the turn, he gets one.
677
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,880
Skyler G:
But like if he was straight or
he landed on his dreadful or
678
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,480
Skyler G:
whatever, or his Reep, he's not
gaining status effects.
679
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,240
Skyler G:
And that's pretty big to a
headless horseman.
680
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,359
Skyler G:
He slows his game and he wants
to be aggressive.
681
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,559
Skyler G:
So those are just examples.
682
00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:40,420
Skyler G:
Um, my other thing is I've, I've
683
00:21:40,420 --> 00:21:41,839
Skyler G:
watched you play a sidewalk
684
00:21:41,839 --> 00:21:46,480
Skyler G:
match just the other day and I
685
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,240
Skyler G:
think three to four different
686
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,759
Skyler G:
times.
687
00:21:49,759 --> 00:21:51,140
Skyler G:
You look like you're like, oh, I
688
00:21:51,140 --> 00:21:54,140
Skyler G:
guess I whiff and I, I said,
689
00:21:54,140 --> 00:21:56,279
Skyler G:
dude, you're you've got
690
00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:56,720
Skyler G:
something.
691
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,160
Skyler G:
Look at your manifest guy and
you go, oh, shoot.
692
00:21:59,160 --> 00:21:59,559
Skyler G:
You did.
693
00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:01,720
Skyler G:
There's like three different
times during the game.
694
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:02,240
Skyler G:
This is true.
695
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,920
Skyler G:
And so that's the other thing.
696
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,960
Skyler G:
I was highly distracted.
697
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:07,559
Skyler G:
That's fair.
698
00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:10,759
Skyler G:
I'll I'll give you were playing
a five person match declare.
699
00:22:10,759 --> 00:22:11,319
Skyler G:
That's true.
700
00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:11,960
Skyler G:
That is true.
701
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,079
Skyler G:
And you did have a I have a
child who was non-stop talking.
702
00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:16,920
Skyler G:
That kid did not stop talking.
703
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,119
Skyler G:
Holy crap!
704
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:18,640
Skyler G:
And he was.
705
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,200
Skyler G:
He wasn't even asking questions.
706
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,400
Skyler G:
He was just, like making
statements of like, well, if you
707
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,960
Skyler G:
attack me, I'm gonna attack you.
708
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:25,839
Skyler G:
That's all he was saying.
709
00:22:25,839 --> 00:22:26,799
Skyler G:
Kill him next turn.
710
00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:27,640
Skyler G:
Or you should do that.
711
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,160
Skyler G:
You should do, you should do,
you should do that.
712
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,519
Skyler G:
And all like he would say it
like six times.
713
00:22:31,519 --> 00:22:32,680
Skyler G:
And I was like, kid, chill.
714
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,000
Skyler G:
So to be fair, highly
distracted.
715
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,680
Skyler G:
Yeah.
716
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,160
Skyler G:
But my point is, yes, but my
point is another thing.
717
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,680
Skyler G:
This is just more of a teaching
moment for Skyler.
718
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,720
Skyler G:
Um, if you are using the, the,
719
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,680
Skyler G:
uh, manifest die as a way to
720
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,400
Skyler G:
fall back, like if you are
721
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,240
Skyler G:
considering it into your role,
722
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,119
Skyler G:
right?
723
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,920
Skyler G:
You're going to lose.
724
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:58,400
Skyler G:
Interesting.
725
00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:58,920
Skyler G:
Okay.
726
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,920
Skyler G:
You need sidewalks board and
727
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,519
Skyler G:
actually does less damage
728
00:23:02,519 --> 00:23:04,640
Skyler G:
because when the creators made
729
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,220
Skyler G:
the game, they had to create
730
00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:10,380
Skyler G:
numbers where it would be fair
731
00:23:10,380 --> 00:23:13,160
Skyler G:
if, for example, every turn your
732
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,599
Skyler G:
rolling ability and every turn,
733
00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:15,980
Skyler G:
you're able to add two to three
734
00:23:15,980 --> 00:23:16,839
Skyler G:
games, right?
735
00:23:16,839 --> 00:23:18,559
Skyler G:
So because of that, her board is
736
00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:19,970
Skyler G:
a little underpowered and
737
00:23:19,970 --> 00:23:20,690
Skyler G:
damaged.
738
00:23:20,690 --> 00:23:23,170
Skyler G:
This exists in other characters,
the same thing.
739
00:23:23,170 --> 00:23:24,609
Skyler G:
Gunslingers notorious for this
740
00:23:24,609 --> 00:23:25,769
Skyler G:
because she gets a reload every
741
00:23:25,769 --> 00:23:27,289
Skyler G:
turn so it's guaranteed extra
742
00:23:27,289 --> 00:23:27,730
Skyler G:
damage.
743
00:23:27,730 --> 00:23:29,470
Skyler G:
Uh. Huntress is another example
744
00:23:29,470 --> 00:23:32,009
Skyler G:
because Nero the Tiger adds two
745
00:23:32,009 --> 00:23:33,049
Skyler G:
damage to all of your attacks if
746
00:23:33,049 --> 00:23:33,809
Skyler G:
she's up.
747
00:23:33,809 --> 00:23:34,869
Skyler G:
So because of that, a lot of
748
00:23:34,869 --> 00:23:36,609
Skyler G:
hunters base port abilities are
749
00:23:36,609 --> 00:23:38,009
Skyler G:
really weak because of that
750
00:23:38,009 --> 00:23:39,130
Skyler G:
extra two damage that's
751
00:23:39,130 --> 00:23:39,930
Skyler G:
guaranteed.
752
00:23:39,930 --> 00:23:41,049
Skyler G:
Same thing with Psylocke.
753
00:23:41,049 --> 00:23:42,210
Skyler G:
A lot of her board is really
754
00:23:42,210 --> 00:23:44,490
Skyler G:
weak because of the fact that
755
00:23:44,490 --> 00:23:45,769
Skyler G:
you can add damage with your
756
00:23:45,769 --> 00:23:47,049
Skyler G:
manifestat.
757
00:23:47,049 --> 00:23:51,750
Skyler G:
For that reason, if you are
using your manifest Di
758
00:23:51,750 --> 00:23:55,609
Skyler G:
consistently in activating
abilities, you're losing out on
759
00:23:55,609 --> 00:23:58,569
Skyler G:
long term potential damage
because of that.
760
00:23:58,569 --> 00:23:59,130
Skyler G:
Got it.
761
00:23:59,130 --> 00:24:00,930
Skyler G:
So I'm not saying don't play
Psylocke.
762
00:24:00,930 --> 00:24:04,809
Skyler G:
I'm just saying this is just
advice to help you get better.
763
00:24:04,809 --> 00:24:07,130
Skyler G:
Psylocke is your manifest die?
764
00:24:07,130 --> 00:24:11,490
Skyler G:
Being used in the activation is
a last resort or someone tried
765
00:24:11,490 --> 00:24:13,609
Skyler G:
to whiff you and you have it
there to help you out.
766
00:24:13,609 --> 00:24:15,049
Skyler G:
Got it right.
767
00:24:15,049 --> 00:24:16,609
Skyler G:
Other than that, it's pure
damage.
768
00:24:16,609 --> 00:24:17,140
Skyler G:
Okay.
769
00:24:17,140 --> 00:24:18,099
Skyler G:
All right.
770
00:24:18,099 --> 00:24:22,619
Skyler G:
Not to make this episode into
basically a deep dive.
771
00:24:22,619 --> 00:24:23,420
Skyler G:
Yeah, exactly.
772
00:24:23,420 --> 00:24:25,220
Skyler G:
No, that was just me talking to
her.
773
00:24:25,220 --> 00:24:26,380
Skyler G:
No, this is good.
774
00:24:26,380 --> 00:24:26,779
Skyler G:
Okay.
775
00:24:26,779 --> 00:24:29,339
Skyler G:
So my main advice, my quick
takeaways is if you want to play
776
00:24:29,339 --> 00:24:31,299
Skyler G:
style, play style, because
you're comfortable on it.
777
00:24:31,299 --> 00:24:32,140
Skyler G:
That's why.
778
00:24:32,140 --> 00:24:32,859
Skyler G:
Know why.
779
00:24:32,859 --> 00:24:37,859
Skyler G:
Know what to do to play Psylocke
and know how obviously to play.
780
00:24:37,859 --> 00:24:40,539
Skyler G:
I'm not saying don't bring
Psylocke because she does well,
781
00:24:40,539 --> 00:24:41,539
Skyler G:
but now you'll know.
782
00:24:41,539 --> 00:24:44,259
Skyler G:
Like for example, I'd say with
783
00:24:44,259 --> 00:24:46,579
Skyler G:
your lineup, play Pyromancer in
784
00:24:46,579 --> 00:24:48,180
Skyler G:
most games of Pyromancer isn't
785
00:24:48,180 --> 00:24:48,700
Skyler G:
bad and.
786
00:24:48,700 --> 00:24:51,859
Skyler G:
But if you see your opponent is
like a tactician or like a
787
00:24:51,859 --> 00:24:56,019
Skyler G:
Paladin, they really want to get
status effects Psylocke and try
788
00:24:56,019 --> 00:24:58,819
Skyler G:
to go paralyze whatever ability
gets paralyzed every turn.
789
00:24:58,819 --> 00:24:59,740
Skyler G:
That's your goal, right?
790
00:24:59,740 --> 00:25:01,940
Skyler G:
So that's your large straight or
paralysis.
791
00:25:01,940 --> 00:25:02,299
Skyler G:
Okay.
792
00:25:02,299 --> 00:25:02,900
Skyler G:
Sounds good.
793
00:25:02,900 --> 00:25:05,019
Skyler G:
Um, and then for your third
character, I was just going to
794
00:25:05,019 --> 00:25:07,359
Skyler G:
say we need to figure out, okay,
so we're taking, let's say we
795
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,619
Skyler G:
keep because honestly, honestly,
the third character has been the
796
00:25:10,619 --> 00:25:13,140
Skyler G:
thing I've been struggling with
the most of like, who the heck
797
00:25:13,140 --> 00:25:14,380
Skyler G:
fills out my team?
798
00:25:14,380 --> 00:25:15,099
Skyler G:
Who should I go?
799
00:25:15,099 --> 00:25:15,619
Skyler G:
That's good.
800
00:25:15,619 --> 00:25:18,220
Skyler G:
But he he's not good with the
format, with the time.
801
00:25:18,220 --> 00:25:18,940
Skyler G:
That's fine.
802
00:25:18,940 --> 00:25:19,900
Skyler G:
Uh. Cursed pirates.
803
00:25:19,900 --> 00:25:21,460
Skyler G:
Great because of her defense.
804
00:25:21,460 --> 00:25:23,660
Skyler G:
And a lot of people like hitting
805
00:25:23,660 --> 00:25:24,900
Skyler G:
defense, especially newer
806
00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:25,500
Skyler G:
players.
807
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:26,180
Skyler G:
They.
808
00:25:26,180 --> 00:25:30,420
Skyler G:
I think they just underestimate
that value of like how much
809
00:25:30,420 --> 00:25:32,339
Skyler G:
value is in a defense, right?
810
00:25:32,339 --> 00:25:33,519
Skyler G:
And so that's why curse pirates
811
00:25:33,519 --> 00:25:36,619
Skyler G:
really good and local, like if
812
00:25:36,619 --> 00:25:38,440
Skyler G:
you're a competitive scene isn't
813
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,140
Skyler G:
at the tippy top of competitive,
814
00:25:40,140 --> 00:25:40,339
Skyler G:
right?
815
00:25:40,339 --> 00:25:41,059
Skyler G:
If that makes sense.
816
00:25:41,059 --> 00:25:43,299
Skyler G:
Like if you look at your
competitive scene and you
817
00:25:43,299 --> 00:25:46,299
Skyler G:
honestly ask yourself on a scale
of one to ten, one being all
818
00:25:46,299 --> 00:25:49,940
Skyler G:
babies and number ten being
like, I'm playing against pros.
819
00:25:49,940 --> 00:25:51,339
Skyler G:
Uh, if you honestly look in the
820
00:25:51,339 --> 00:25:52,819
Skyler G:
mirror and say, how good is our
821
00:25:52,819 --> 00:25:53,740
Skyler G:
local ranked?
822
00:25:53,740 --> 00:25:55,779
Skyler G:
I would say ours is around a
four to five.
823
00:25:55,779 --> 00:25:56,220
Skyler G:
Okay.
824
00:25:56,220 --> 00:25:59,880
Skyler G:
Like they're not babies, but
they're yeah, nowhere near like
825
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:01,180
Skyler G:
we're not near a pro team.
826
00:26:01,180 --> 00:26:05,819
Skyler G:
And because of that, uh, uh,
really high competitive players
827
00:26:05,819 --> 00:26:08,140
Skyler G:
understand the value of defenses
and they understand what
828
00:26:08,140 --> 00:26:10,519
Skyler G:
defenses they don't want to hit,
and they'll purposely make
829
00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:15,349
Skyler G:
actions to not hit your defense
when you bring that bubble down,
830
00:26:15,349 --> 00:26:19,190
Skyler G:
right, that level down to like
six and below.
831
00:26:19,190 --> 00:26:23,470
Skyler G:
Players don't fully understand
how scary some defenses are.
832
00:26:23,470 --> 00:26:25,630
Skyler G:
And cursed pirates are one of
those examples.
833
00:26:25,630 --> 00:26:28,470
Skyler G:
And, uh, I think a common trait
834
00:26:28,470 --> 00:26:30,309
Skyler G:
you'll see, especially in local
835
00:26:30,309 --> 00:26:32,089
Skyler G:
ranked, uh, and I know this,
836
00:26:32,089 --> 00:26:33,750
Skyler G:
this era doesn't exist for us as
837
00:26:33,750 --> 00:26:35,349
Skyler G:
much, but I know this exists
838
00:26:35,349 --> 00:26:36,869
Skyler G:
outside for a lot of people's
839
00:26:36,869 --> 00:26:38,390
Skyler G:
ranks is curse pirates one of
840
00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:40,230
Skyler G:
the most banned characters in
841
00:26:40,230 --> 00:26:41,390
Skyler G:
dice, right?
842
00:26:41,390 --> 00:26:42,470
Skyler G:
And I think a big reason why
843
00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:44,150
Skyler G:
she's so banned is because I
844
00:26:44,150 --> 00:26:45,750
Skyler G:
think the current solution
845
00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:47,410
Skyler G:
people have for her is I
846
00:26:47,410 --> 00:26:48,470
Skyler G:
struggle with hitting her
847
00:26:48,470 --> 00:26:49,230
Skyler G:
defense.
848
00:26:49,230 --> 00:26:51,710
Skyler G:
So if I just ban her, I don't
have to hit her.
849
00:26:51,710 --> 00:26:52,549
Skyler G:
I don't have to deal with it.
850
00:26:52,549 --> 00:26:54,150
Skyler G:
So yes, that is one way to get
851
00:26:54,150 --> 00:26:55,390
Skyler G:
around her defense one hundred
852
00:26:55,390 --> 00:26:56,269
Skyler G:
percent.
853
00:26:56,269 --> 00:26:58,670
Skyler G:
And so yeah, so you could bring
curse pirate.
854
00:26:58,670 --> 00:27:01,349
Skyler G:
But the thing is, I'd recommend
knowing how to play her.
855
00:27:01,349 --> 00:27:01,789
Skyler G:
Right?
856
00:27:01,789 --> 00:27:04,309
Skyler G:
Uh, and that's the nice thing
about Curse Pirate is she has a
857
00:27:04,309 --> 00:27:05,509
Skyler G:
really nice border.
858
00:27:05,509 --> 00:27:10,029
Skyler G:
Honestly, a lot of her abilities
are really good.
859
00:27:10,029 --> 00:27:10,950
Skyler G:
Um, X marks.
860
00:27:10,950 --> 00:27:11,960
Skyler G:
The spot is great.
861
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:12,400
Skyler G:
Really.
862
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,480
Skyler G:
At any time, if you can get it
straight, that's great.
863
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,619
Skyler G:
It's really better if they have
a keg on you because that's
864
00:27:17,619 --> 00:27:20,440
Skyler G:
guaranteed damage on top of
maybe future damage.
865
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:21,480
Skyler G:
That's great.
866
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,960
Skyler G:
Um, if your opponent has like
two, two or less cards hitting
867
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,599
Skyler G:
you, walk the plank screen,
making them discard.
868
00:27:26,599 --> 00:27:27,599
Skyler G:
Because usually when someone's
869
00:27:27,599 --> 00:27:28,720
Skyler G:
got just two cards in their
870
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:29,000
Skyler G:
hand.
871
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,720
Skyler G:
We talk about this in the tips
and tricks video.
872
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,640
Skyler G:
Try to keep more than two cards
because if you're keeping down
873
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,359
Skyler G:
the two cards, that means
they're both really good.
874
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,539
Skyler G:
And so if you play someone plays
an action that discards a card,
875
00:27:38,539 --> 00:27:40,640
Skyler G:
that means you're losing one of
your good cards.
876
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,599
Skyler G:
Focus on keeping.
877
00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:43,799
Skyler G:
So walk the plank is really
good.
878
00:27:43,799 --> 00:27:46,960
Skyler G:
Shiver Me timbers is high
undefendable damage and can let
879
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,279
Skyler G:
you flip on turn one, which can
be huge sometimes.
880
00:27:50,279 --> 00:27:53,240
Skyler G:
Uh. And then if you hit a
minion, oh, that's huge.
881
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,480
Skyler G:
As you toss parlay on, it
882
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:55,160
Skyler G:
probably is one of the
883
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:55,720
Skyler G:
strongest.
884
00:27:55,559 --> 00:27:55,799
Bill Frosby:
Oh yeah.
885
00:27:55,799 --> 00:27:56,400
Bill Frosby:
It's very strong.
886
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:57,359
Bill Frosby:
Yep. Um.
887
00:27:57,799 --> 00:27:58,680
Skyler G:
So she's good.
888
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,799
Skyler G:
But if you want other characters
who aren't like cursed pirate.
889
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,140
Bill Frosby:
And I think it's important to
establish here, like, okay, so
890
00:28:05,140 --> 00:28:07,839
Bill Frosby:
maybe, maybe this would help for
people that are listening.
891
00:28:07,839 --> 00:28:10,369
Bill Frosby:
So right now I have glass
cannon.
892
00:28:10,369 --> 00:28:14,130
Bill Frosby:
Pyromancer deals high chunks of
damage.
893
00:28:14,130 --> 00:28:16,730
Bill Frosby:
Needs to kind of finish the game
pretty quick.
894
00:28:16,569 --> 00:28:17,130
Skyler G:
Yes.
895
00:28:17,170 --> 00:28:19,849
Bill Frosby:
Really wants to just absolutely
obliterate her opponent as
896
00:28:19,849 --> 00:28:20,650
Bill Frosby:
quickly as possible.
897
00:28:20,650 --> 00:28:26,369
Bill Frosby:
Therefore, she's not great when
she's paired with against what?
898
00:28:27,410 --> 00:28:28,769
Skyler G:
People with great defense.
899
00:28:28,569 --> 00:28:29,970
Bill Frosby:
People with great defense.
900
00:28:29,970 --> 00:28:34,329
Bill Frosby:
We've got a counter character
with Psylocke, who is great
901
00:28:34,329 --> 00:28:38,009
Bill Frosby:
against people who really focus
on status effect stuff.
902
00:28:38,009 --> 00:28:40,490
Bill Frosby:
So we have a counter for a
specific type.
903
00:28:40,490 --> 00:28:42,250
Bill Frosby:
We have a heavy hitter that just
904
00:28:42,250 --> 00:28:44,009
Bill Frosby:
wants to avoid high defensive
905
00:28:44,009 --> 00:28:44,529
Bill Frosby:
characters.
906
00:28:44,529 --> 00:28:46,410
Bill Frosby:
What are we missing from this
lineup?
907
00:28:46,250 --> 00:28:49,690
Skyler G:
Probably looking for someone
who's mid-range with a good
908
00:28:49,690 --> 00:28:51,410
Skyler G:
defense or a tank.
909
00:28:51,410 --> 00:28:54,049
Skyler G:
Um, that's why I suggested Curse
Pirate because she's a mid-range
910
00:28:54,049 --> 00:28:55,009
Skyler G:
with a great defense.
911
00:28:55,009 --> 00:28:55,369
Skyler G:
Defense?
912
00:28:55,369 --> 00:28:55,730
Skyler G:
Yep.
913
00:28:55,730 --> 00:28:59,970
Skyler G:
Um, black widow's another great
pick.
914
00:28:59,970 --> 00:29:02,329
Skyler G:
She's mid-range, but she builds
up in ramps.
915
00:29:02,329 --> 00:29:05,009
Skyler G:
She's got a fantastic defense
and she's one of the hardest
916
00:29:05,009 --> 00:29:05,769
Skyler G:
hitters in the game.
917
00:29:05,769 --> 00:29:06,609
Skyler G:
And she's that's why.
918
00:29:06,410 --> 00:29:07,369
Bill Frosby:
She is at the top.
919
00:29:07,170 --> 00:29:09,049
Skyler G:
Of the very versatile board.
920
00:29:09,049 --> 00:29:11,730
Skyler G:
Um, I mean, ravenous is good.
921
00:29:11,730 --> 00:29:13,130
Skyler G:
I don't really enjoy playing
922
00:29:13,130 --> 00:29:14,369
Skyler G:
her, but I would if you enjoy
923
00:29:14,369 --> 00:29:15,049
Skyler G:
playing ravenous.
924
00:29:15,049 --> 00:29:16,329
Skyler G:
She's really good.
925
00:29:16,329 --> 00:29:20,210
Skyler G:
Uh, because she's, uh, got a
great defense and she's got some
926
00:29:20,210 --> 00:29:23,049
Skyler G:
great survivability, and her
bird will just keep her healed
927
00:29:23,049 --> 00:29:23,730
Skyler G:
and in the game.
928
00:29:23,730 --> 00:29:26,289
Skyler G:
And also, if your opponent's got
a great defense, you can just
929
00:29:26,289 --> 00:29:28,769
Skyler G:
use the bird a little more often
to get around that defense.
930
00:29:28,609 --> 00:29:29,329
Bill Frosby:
This is true.
931
00:29:29,329 --> 00:29:30,769
Bill Frosby:
I should actually try.
932
00:29:30,769 --> 00:29:33,490
Bill Frosby:
I have ravenous have not had the
chance to play her.
933
00:29:33,490 --> 00:29:37,190
Bill Frosby:
I probably should try it before
I. I can't sit here and say I
934
00:29:37,190 --> 00:29:38,890
Bill Frosby:
don't like ravenous.
935
00:29:38,890 --> 00:29:39,569
Bill Frosby:
That's a lie.
936
00:29:39,569 --> 00:29:40,009
Bill Frosby:
I've never.
937
00:29:40,009 --> 00:29:43,329
Bill Frosby:
I've never played ravenous, but
I should definitely try her.
938
00:29:43,329 --> 00:29:43,849
Bill Frosby:
Okay.
939
00:29:43,849 --> 00:29:44,769
Bill Frosby:
Interesting.
940
00:29:44,769 --> 00:29:45,450
Bill Frosby:
Like we.
941
00:29:45,289 --> 00:29:49,049
Skyler G:
I thought we talked about in,
uh, with our meta breakdown.
942
00:29:49,049 --> 00:29:50,670
Skyler G:
Uh, he's the most versatile,
943
00:29:50,670 --> 00:29:51,750
Skyler G:
really one of the most versatile
944
00:29:51,750 --> 00:29:52,130
Skyler G:
characters.
945
00:29:52,130 --> 00:29:53,730
Skyler G:
You can kind of go into each
matchup.
946
00:29:53,730 --> 00:29:55,410
Skyler G:
He's not as aggro heavy.
947
00:29:55,410 --> 00:29:57,210
Skyler G:
Uh, he's got a decent defense.
948
00:29:57,210 --> 00:30:00,329
Skyler G:
He's got some really versatile
cards and he's really consistent
949
00:30:00,329 --> 00:30:02,089
Skyler G:
with high damage output.
950
00:30:02,089 --> 00:30:04,650
Skyler G:
Well, but not as high as pyro,
951
00:30:04,650 --> 00:30:06,615
Skyler G:
but he does have other cards and
952
00:30:06,615 --> 00:30:08,140
Skyler G:
options that let him be more
953
00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:08,859
Skyler G:
mid-range.
954
00:30:08,859 --> 00:30:09,460
Skyler G:
Sure.
955
00:30:09,460 --> 00:30:10,740
Skyler G:
Uh, so I'd say him.
956
00:30:30,779 --> 00:30:32,920
Skyler G:
Uh, I'm trying to stay away from
957
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,380
Skyler G:
like, really strong aggro
958
00:30:34,380 --> 00:30:35,460
Skyler G:
characters.
959
00:30:35,259 --> 00:30:37,980
Bill Frosby:
Since pyro kind of fills fills
that role.
960
00:30:38,220 --> 00:30:41,960
Skyler G:
Um, a lot of people have been
liking Ninja, uh, because she's
961
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:46,240
Skyler G:
a really good balance between
dodging the high damage, uh,
962
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,859
Skyler G:
while also being able to output
damage as well herself.
963
00:30:48,859 --> 00:30:50,119
Skyler G:
So with Ninja, you kind of
964
00:30:50,119 --> 00:30:51,240
Skyler G:
bounce between doing smoke
965
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,460
Skyler G:
screen, which gives you a smoke
966
00:30:52,460 --> 00:30:54,740
Skyler G:
bomb, uh, some ninjitsu and puts
967
00:30:54,740 --> 00:30:55,220
Skyler G:
a poison.
968
00:30:55,220 --> 00:30:56,819
Skyler G:
So you're doing, you're gaining
969
00:30:56,819 --> 00:30:58,400
Skyler G:
a way to dodge, you're getting
970
00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,460
Skyler G:
ways to make your next attack
971
00:30:59,460 --> 00:30:59,819
Skyler G:
stronger.
972
00:30:59,819 --> 00:31:00,740
Skyler G:
And you're also dealing
973
00:31:00,740 --> 00:31:02,339
Skyler G:
basically long term damage on
974
00:31:02,339 --> 00:31:03,380
Skyler G:
your opponent.
975
00:31:03,380 --> 00:31:08,029
Skyler G:
Uh, because then the next turn,
you use those to hit a Big Ten
976
00:31:08,029 --> 00:31:09,789
Skyler G:
damage Undefendable attack.
977
00:31:09,789 --> 00:31:12,869
Skyler G:
Go back, grab your smoke bomb,
repeat and.
978
00:31:12,869 --> 00:31:13,910
Skyler G:
You kind of do that for the
979
00:31:13,910 --> 00:31:14,990
Skyler G:
whole game and usually it's a
980
00:31:14,990 --> 00:31:16,750
Skyler G:
good stalling, trading back and
981
00:31:16,750 --> 00:31:17,349
Skyler G:
forth tactic.
982
00:31:17,349 --> 00:31:19,630
Skyler G:
And her defense again, pretty
sneaky strong.
983
00:31:19,630 --> 00:31:22,269
Skyler G:
You can usually do consistently
three damage back which is
984
00:31:22,269 --> 00:31:24,829
Skyler G:
pretty good value with the
chance to get a smoke bomb.
985
00:31:24,829 --> 00:31:26,630
Skyler G:
So she's strong.
986
00:31:26,630 --> 00:31:27,670
Skyler G:
And in some matchups she's
987
00:31:27,670 --> 00:31:28,869
Skyler G:
really good because if your
988
00:31:28,869 --> 00:31:30,630
Skyler G:
opponent hits like big single
989
00:31:30,630 --> 00:31:32,950
Skyler G:
swings, uh, Smoke Bomb is huge
990
00:31:32,950 --> 00:31:33,829
Skyler G:
against that because you have a
991
00:31:33,829 --> 00:31:34,869
Skyler G:
fifty percent chance that big
992
00:31:34,869 --> 00:31:36,190
Skyler G:
single swing is just gone and
993
00:31:36,190 --> 00:31:37,549
Skyler G:
you still deal three damage back
994
00:31:37,549 --> 00:31:37,990
Skyler G:
to them.
995
00:31:37,829 --> 00:31:38,309
Bill Frosby:
Right on.
996
00:31:38,309 --> 00:31:38,910
Bill Frosby:
Okay.
997
00:31:39,190 --> 00:31:42,430
Skyler G:
Um, Alchemist has been a new
one.
998
00:31:42,430 --> 00:31:43,309
Skyler G:
That's really good.
999
00:31:43,309 --> 00:31:46,529
Skyler G:
I know you haven't played a lot
of Alchemist, but I would say
1000
00:31:46,529 --> 00:31:48,390
Skyler G:
Alchemist is good.
1001
00:31:48,390 --> 00:31:50,470
Skyler G:
Um, just for the sake.
1002
00:31:50,470 --> 00:31:52,990
Skyler G:
That Alchemist is very versatile
as well.
1003
00:31:52,829 --> 00:31:53,710
Bill Frosby:
Fair enough.
1004
00:31:54,390 --> 00:31:56,549
Skyler G:
If you haven't put Alchemist,
that's fine.
1005
00:31:56,549 --> 00:31:59,109
Skyler G:
Uh, one final pick I would say
is rogue.
1006
00:31:59,109 --> 00:32:03,069
Skyler G:
Um, rogue has a decent defense,
but her ability to.
1007
00:32:03,069 --> 00:32:06,549
Skyler G:
Every time your opponent attacks
you, you add your ionic and then
1008
00:32:06,549 --> 00:32:08,309
Skyler G:
you can use those to swing back.
1009
00:32:08,950 --> 00:32:10,750
Bill Frosby:
Very simple character.
1010
00:32:10,750 --> 00:32:11,269
Bill Frosby:
Yes.
1011
00:32:11,829 --> 00:32:13,069
Skyler G:
Which is really strong as well.
1012
00:32:13,069 --> 00:32:13,630
Skyler G:
Sure, sure.
1013
00:32:13,630 --> 00:32:16,109
Skyler G:
Well, we don't use steel health
and build up ionic.
1014
00:32:16,109 --> 00:32:19,349
Skyler G:
So if you're not hitting you as
much, then you do leaches a
1015
00:32:19,349 --> 00:32:22,230
Skyler G:
couple of times, build up that
way and then hit them.
1016
00:32:22,230 --> 00:32:24,150
Skyler G:
Also hit them for a big hit.
1017
00:32:24,029 --> 00:32:27,869
Bill Frosby:
Wow. Okay. I, I feel like rogue
is going to be that one
1018
00:32:27,869 --> 00:32:31,150
Bill Frosby:
character that if I were to
bring rogue to the match, nobody
1019
00:32:31,150 --> 00:32:32,230
Bill Frosby:
would ban her.
1020
00:32:32,230 --> 00:32:33,869
Bill Frosby:
No. Like, I mean, nobody's going
1021
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:35,930
Bill Frosby:
to be like, oh man, you brought
1022
00:32:35,930 --> 00:32:36,869
Bill Frosby:
Psylocke.
1023
00:32:36,710 --> 00:32:39,269
Skyler G:
Pyromancer rogue, most likely
pyro.
1024
00:32:39,710 --> 00:32:41,750
Bill Frosby:
Yeah. Yep. That makes sense.
1025
00:32:41,750 --> 00:32:43,150
Bill Frosby:
Okay, interesting.
1026
00:32:43,150 --> 00:32:44,589
Bill Frosby:
So that definitely goes into.
1027
00:32:44,430 --> 00:32:46,269
Skyler G:
My next thing is, um.
1028
00:32:46,069 --> 00:32:47,069
Bill Frosby:
Yeah, what.
1029
00:32:47,670 --> 00:32:53,750
Skyler G:
My, uh, there's this thing
called, uh, ban bait.
1030
00:32:54,029 --> 00:32:54,549
Bill Frosby:
Okay.
1031
00:32:54,390 --> 00:32:58,710
Skyler G:
Which is a very important thing
to know, uh, when making a team
1032
00:32:58,710 --> 00:33:00,470
Skyler G:
in the competitive scene.
1033
00:33:00,470 --> 00:33:05,039
Skyler G:
So Bambi is the idea that when
1034
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:07,339
Skyler G:
you bring a team, you have two
1035
00:33:07,339 --> 00:33:08,079
Skyler G:
characters.
1036
00:33:08,079 --> 00:33:10,599
Skyler G:
You really want to play your
case.
1037
00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:12,039
Skyler G:
Pyromancer.
1038
00:33:12,039 --> 00:33:19,579
Skyler G:
So yep, Bambi is that third
character is you have, let's say
1039
00:33:19,579 --> 00:33:22,319
Skyler G:
ten percent want to play.
1040
00:33:22,319 --> 00:33:24,059
Skyler G:
Your actual goal is you want
1041
00:33:24,059 --> 00:33:26,440
Skyler G:
them to get banned every single
1042
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:27,880
Skyler G:
time.
1043
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,279
Skyler G:
So you can play the two you want
to play.
1044
00:33:29,279 --> 00:33:29,640
Skyler G:
Got it.
1045
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,880
Skyler G:
So basically increases the odds
of playing the characters you
1046
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:33,960
Skyler G:
want to play.
1047
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,720
Skyler G:
And then that's all it does.
1048
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,279
Skyler G:
It just increases the odds you
want to play.
1049
00:33:37,279 --> 00:33:38,720
Skyler G:
And then if you want the
1050
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:39,640
Skyler G:
characters you want to get to
1051
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:40,960
Skyler G:
play, then you can play that
1052
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:41,920
Skyler G:
other character.
1053
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:42,440
Skyler G:
Here's the thing.
1054
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,400
Skyler G:
Here's the difference between
1055
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,720
Skyler G:
Bambi and like bringing a nice
1056
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,559
Skyler G:
even team.
1057
00:33:46,559 --> 00:33:49,920
Skyler G:
Um, Bambi characters will fit
really good with your team.
1058
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,880
Skyler G:
But the thing about them is you
don't want to play them, right.
1059
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,119
Skyler G:
So you have to.
1060
00:33:54,119 --> 00:33:55,859
Skyler G:
The problem with Bambi
1061
00:33:55,859 --> 00:33:58,059
Skyler G:
characters that people often see
1062
00:33:58,059 --> 00:33:59,809
Skyler G:
is that character will not get
1063
00:33:59,809 --> 00:34:01,490
Skyler G:
banned, right?
1064
00:34:01,490 --> 00:34:04,049
Skyler G:
Say, for example, we bring
ravens, right?
1065
00:34:04,049 --> 00:34:04,210
Skyler G:
Who?
1066
00:34:04,210 --> 00:34:04,690
Skyler G:
Actually.
1067
00:34:04,690 --> 00:34:06,690
Skyler G:
That's immediately what I was
thinking of when you started
1068
00:34:06,690 --> 00:34:07,730
Skyler G:
talking about this.
1069
00:34:07,730 --> 00:34:08,210
Skyler G:
Yeah.
1070
00:34:08,210 --> 00:34:09,969
Skyler G:
And you bring ravens.
1071
00:34:09,969 --> 00:34:11,610
Skyler G:
You have zero intention of
playing ravens.
1072
00:34:11,610 --> 00:34:11,889
Skyler G:
Right?
1073
00:34:11,889 --> 00:34:13,409
Skyler G:
Say pyro gets mad.
1074
00:34:13,409 --> 00:34:15,369
Skyler G:
So now you have two choices.
1075
00:34:15,369 --> 00:34:17,070
Skyler G:
Play Psylocke, which you like
1076
00:34:17,070 --> 00:34:18,769
Skyler G:
playing very specific, very
1077
00:34:18,769 --> 00:34:19,969
Skyler G:
specific matchups.
1078
00:34:19,969 --> 00:34:22,849
Skyler G:
Or play Raven who you're not
comfortable.
1079
00:34:22,849 --> 00:34:23,210
Skyler G:
Right.
1080
00:34:23,210 --> 00:34:23,650
Skyler G:
Got it.
1081
00:34:23,650 --> 00:34:24,650
Skyler G:
So you're left of the choice.
1082
00:34:24,650 --> 00:34:25,650
Skyler G:
And I remember I had a
1083
00:34:25,650 --> 00:34:26,929
Skyler G:
conversation with someone online
1084
00:34:26,929 --> 00:34:28,309
Skyler G:
the other day where they said
1085
00:34:28,309 --> 00:34:30,250
Skyler G:
they bring Cursed Pirate as
1086
00:34:30,250 --> 00:34:30,889
Skyler G:
Bambi.
1087
00:34:30,889 --> 00:34:32,969
Skyler G:
They've never played them a day
in their life.
1088
00:34:32,969 --> 00:34:33,409
Skyler G:
Wow.
1089
00:34:33,409 --> 00:34:35,130
Skyler G:
So I said, okay, so what happens
1090
00:34:35,130 --> 00:34:36,090
Skyler G:
if curse buyer doesn't get
1091
00:34:36,090 --> 00:34:36,329
Skyler G:
banned?
1092
00:34:36,329 --> 00:34:37,130
Skyler G:
They banned someone else and
1093
00:34:37,130 --> 00:34:38,090
Skyler G:
they said, oh, I just picked the
1094
00:34:38,090 --> 00:34:38,849
Skyler G:
other pick.
1095
00:34:38,849 --> 00:34:42,369
Skyler G:
I'm like, that's not that's
okay.
1096
00:34:42,369 --> 00:34:44,570
Skyler G:
Since my main advice in this
game is play the character
1097
00:34:44,570 --> 00:34:45,769
Skyler G:
you're more comfortable with.
1098
00:34:45,769 --> 00:34:49,889
Skyler G:
My problem though, with that is
sometimes that characters go
1099
00:34:49,889 --> 00:34:51,289
Skyler G:
into a really bad matchup.
1100
00:34:51,289 --> 00:34:52,250
Skyler G:
Yep.
1101
00:34:52,250 --> 00:34:53,610
Skyler G:
You're still picking them
1102
00:34:53,610 --> 00:34:55,170
Skyler G:
because you had zero intention
1103
00:34:55,170 --> 00:34:56,489
Skyler G:
of playing the bad character,
1104
00:34:56,489 --> 00:34:57,730
Skyler G:
right?
1105
00:34:57,730 --> 00:34:59,650
Skyler G:
That's for bamboo bales.
1106
00:34:59,650 --> 00:35:03,250
Skyler G:
So this is what my advice is
with bamboo.
1107
00:35:03,250 --> 00:35:04,849
Skyler G:
This is what I personally do.
1108
00:35:04,849 --> 00:35:07,849
Skyler G:
If I do bamboo and I do it
occasionally, not all the time.
1109
00:35:07,849 --> 00:35:11,610
Skyler G:
I always bring two characters I
really want to play.
1110
00:35:11,610 --> 00:35:14,530
Skyler G:
I will bring a band bait
character and I have a list.
1111
00:35:14,530 --> 00:35:17,010
Skyler G:
I'll name them who characters
are.
1112
00:35:17,010 --> 00:35:20,170
Skyler G:
I'll bring them, but I'll bring
the band bait character from my
1113
00:35:20,170 --> 00:35:24,369
Skyler G:
list I'm most wanting to play or
I'm most comfortable with.
1114
00:35:24,369 --> 00:35:25,010
Skyler G:
Exactly.
1115
00:35:25,010 --> 00:35:27,329
Skyler G:
For example, a big one I'll
always bring is Black Widow.
1116
00:35:27,329 --> 00:35:31,530
Skyler G:
Sure, I am about fifty fifty
with Black Widow.
1117
00:35:31,530 --> 00:35:33,210
Skyler G:
If I have Black Widow or a
1118
00:35:33,210 --> 00:35:34,070
Skyler G:
choice of the other two
1119
00:35:34,070 --> 00:35:35,769
Skyler G:
characters, I'll most likely
1120
00:35:35,769 --> 00:35:36,250
Skyler G:
pick them.
1121
00:35:36,250 --> 00:35:38,050
Skyler G:
But the thing is, sometimes that
1122
00:35:38,050 --> 00:35:39,090
Skyler G:
matchup's not good for that
1123
00:35:39,090 --> 00:35:40,570
Skyler G:
other character.
1124
00:35:40,570 --> 00:35:43,469
Skyler G:
Then I'll pick widow because
she's usually good in anything
1125
00:35:43,469 --> 00:35:44,530
Skyler G:
and she didn't get banned.
1126
00:35:44,530 --> 00:35:45,050
Skyler G:
I'll pick her.
1127
00:35:45,050 --> 00:35:45,210
Skyler G:
Right?
1128
00:35:45,210 --> 00:35:46,769
Skyler G:
Yeah, but if I know my other
1129
00:35:46,769 --> 00:35:47,849
Skyler G:
character, the one I want to
1130
00:35:47,849 --> 00:35:49,650
Skyler G:
play will do decent to good
1131
00:35:49,650 --> 00:35:50,130
Skyler G:
against them.
1132
00:35:50,130 --> 00:35:51,690
Skyler G:
Then I'll play them because I'm
more comfortable.
1133
00:35:51,690 --> 00:35:52,489
Skyler G:
I want to play them right.
1134
00:35:52,489 --> 00:35:52,969
Skyler G:
Makes sense.
1135
00:35:52,969 --> 00:35:56,500
Skyler G:
But the difference here between
my example and the guy was
1136
00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:58,500
Skyler G:
talking to my mom who said he
never played pirate.
1137
00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:00,019
Skyler G:
And me, I don't know how to play
Black Widow.
1138
00:36:00,019 --> 00:36:01,179
Skyler G:
I'm fine playing Black Widow.
1139
00:36:01,179 --> 00:36:04,579
Skyler G:
I just don't have as much fun
playing her as the other two.
1140
00:36:04,579 --> 00:36:08,500
Skyler G:
But when it's a competitive
scene, I'm going to pick what
1141
00:36:08,500 --> 00:36:10,699
Skyler G:
will give me the better
advantage of winning.
1142
00:36:10,699 --> 00:36:13,019
Skyler G:
Which means sometimes I might
have to play the character I'm
1143
00:36:13,019 --> 00:36:14,420
Skyler G:
not as excited to play.
1144
00:36:14,420 --> 00:36:17,699
Skyler G:
But if you brought that
character, you have to have in
1145
00:36:17,699 --> 00:36:20,219
Skyler G:
your mind the idea that you
might play that character.
1146
00:36:20,219 --> 00:36:22,099
Skyler G:
You have to know that if you're
bringing a character, you have
1147
00:36:22,099 --> 00:36:23,019
Skyler G:
zero intention playing.
1148
00:36:23,019 --> 00:36:23,699
Skyler G:
Don't bring them.
1149
00:36:23,699 --> 00:36:24,340
Skyler G:
Don't bring them.
1150
00:36:24,340 --> 00:36:27,219
Skyler G:
Like you might as well just
bring two characters and say,
1151
00:36:27,219 --> 00:36:28,300
Skyler G:
all right, man, one of these.
1152
00:36:28,300 --> 00:36:29,539
Skyler G:
I'll play the other one, I don't
care.
1153
00:36:29,539 --> 00:36:29,780
Skyler G:
Yeah.
1154
00:36:29,780 --> 00:36:32,739
Skyler G:
Like you're losing all your
strategy.
1155
00:36:32,739 --> 00:36:36,579
Skyler G:
You're losing a whole element to
the competitive scene by
1156
00:36:36,579 --> 00:36:37,659
Skyler G:
limiting your own self.
1157
00:36:37,659 --> 00:36:38,340
Skyler G:
Exactly.
1158
00:36:38,340 --> 00:36:40,420
Skyler G:
And it's important that we're
talking about we're talking
1159
00:36:40,420 --> 00:36:41,699
Skyler G:
about ranked play.
1160
00:36:41,699 --> 00:36:42,260
Skyler G:
Yes.
1161
00:36:42,260 --> 00:36:43,460
Skyler G:
If you're with your friends, do
1162
00:36:43,460 --> 00:36:44,940
Skyler G:
whatever you want it just have a
1163
00:36:44,940 --> 00:36:45,460
Skyler G:
good time.
1164
00:36:45,460 --> 00:36:46,780
Skyler G:
We're talking ranked play where
1165
00:36:46,780 --> 00:36:48,079
Skyler G:
you're going for a competitive
1166
00:36:48,079 --> 00:36:48,340
Skyler G:
team.
1167
00:36:48,340 --> 00:36:50,539
Skyler G:
You're listening to this to have
a competitive team.
1168
00:36:50,539 --> 00:36:51,260
Skyler G:
Yeah.
1169
00:36:51,260 --> 00:36:52,900
Skyler G:
And I'm not saying it's a bad
thing.
1170
00:36:52,900 --> 00:36:57,030
Skyler G:
I'm just saying whoever your
main character is, if they're
1171
00:36:57,030 --> 00:36:59,030
Skyler G:
through, be comfortable playing.
1172
00:36:59,030 --> 00:36:59,550
Skyler G:
Yeah, right.
1173
00:36:59,550 --> 00:37:00,030
Skyler G:
Yep.
1174
00:37:00,030 --> 00:37:02,349
Skyler G:
Even if they're not your first
choice, even if you're your
1175
00:37:02,349 --> 00:37:04,429
Skyler G:
third choice on your team,
because they most likely are if
1176
00:37:04,429 --> 00:37:06,750
Skyler G:
they're bang bang, you're right.
1177
00:37:06,750 --> 00:37:08,469
Skyler G:
Let us know what you're doing
right one hundred percent.
1178
00:37:08,469 --> 00:37:11,929
Skyler G:
Um, bang bang characters, uh,
definitely depend on your local
1179
00:37:11,929 --> 00:37:13,190
Skyler G:
linked event, right?
1180
00:37:13,190 --> 00:37:14,309
Skyler G:
Uh, because in the online
1181
00:37:14,309 --> 00:37:15,389
Skyler G:
community, I've talked around
1182
00:37:15,389 --> 00:37:16,269
Skyler G:
stuff like on the online
1183
00:37:16,269 --> 00:37:17,630
Skyler G:
community, there's like clear
1184
00:37:17,630 --> 00:37:18,269
Skyler G:
ban.
1185
00:37:18,269 --> 00:37:20,909
Skyler G:
Oh, it's like Black Widow,
shadow thief.
1186
00:37:20,909 --> 00:37:22,389
Skyler G:
Uh, Raven is one of the big
three right now.
1187
00:37:22,389 --> 00:37:25,309
Skyler G:
Who are the top, like five
characters in the meta?
1188
00:37:25,309 --> 00:37:26,429
Skyler G:
Those are the bandmates.
1189
00:37:26,429 --> 00:37:29,670
Skyler G:
But the but I will say from
talking to people, I'm like,
1190
00:37:29,670 --> 00:37:33,909
Skyler G:
Cursed Pirate is not as much
banned online anymore.
1191
00:37:33,909 --> 00:37:34,869
Skyler G:
Uh, and the high competitive
1192
00:37:34,869 --> 00:37:36,110
Skyler G:
scene, it's just there's so many
1193
00:37:36,110 --> 00:37:37,389
Skyler G:
characters that really counter
1194
00:37:37,389 --> 00:37:37,710
Skyler G:
her.
1195
00:37:37,710 --> 00:37:40,269
Skyler G:
And like I said, people who know
what they're doing and know how
1196
00:37:40,269 --> 00:37:42,670
Skyler G:
to go around her defense, which
is honestly the main thing that
1197
00:37:42,670 --> 00:37:43,949
Skyler G:
makes her strong.
1198
00:37:43,949 --> 00:37:44,829
Skyler G:
You know how to go around her
1199
00:37:44,829 --> 00:37:45,750
Skyler G:
defense and play around the
1200
00:37:45,750 --> 00:37:46,750
Skyler G:
cursed pirate.
1201
00:37:46,750 --> 00:37:49,550
Skyler G:
You can beat her with a lot of
characters, right?
1202
00:37:49,550 --> 00:37:50,190
Skyler G:
Makes sense.
1203
00:37:50,190 --> 00:37:51,070
Skyler G:
Uh, and because of that, she's
1204
00:37:51,070 --> 00:37:52,309
Skyler G:
not banned as much as she used
1205
00:37:52,309 --> 00:37:52,719
Skyler G:
to.
1206
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,079
Skyler G:
but in some local scenes, she's
1207
00:37:56,079 --> 00:37:58,599
Skyler G:
still the most banned because
1208
00:37:58,599 --> 00:38:01,079
Skyler G:
the meta in that scene is
1209
00:38:01,079 --> 00:38:03,539
Skyler G:
self-contained to that local
1210
00:38:03,539 --> 00:38:04,559
Skyler G:
plot.
1211
00:38:04,559 --> 00:38:05,440
Skyler G:
Local game store.
1212
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:05,719
Skyler G:
Right.
1213
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:06,199
Skyler G:
Right.
1214
00:38:06,199 --> 00:38:09,000
Skyler G:
And so that's why I'm saying if
you're planning on bringing a
1215
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Skyler G:
banned character, know your
local scene, know which
1216
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,579
Skyler G:
characters are the characters
that you know, everyone goes,
1217
00:38:15,579 --> 00:38:18,079
Skyler G:
oh, you brought him and you
banned if that.
1218
00:38:18,079 --> 00:38:21,579
Skyler G:
And like word will spread fast
and there will be a character or
1219
00:38:21,579 --> 00:38:25,039
Skyler G:
characters that are like the
most banned characters.
1220
00:38:25,039 --> 00:38:26,599
Skyler G:
If you learn what those are and
1221
00:38:26,599 --> 00:38:27,980
Skyler G:
you're planning on doing a
1222
00:38:27,980 --> 00:38:29,519
Skyler G:
banned big topic, then those are
1223
00:38:29,519 --> 00:38:30,159
Skyler G:
the characters.
1224
00:38:30,159 --> 00:38:31,780
Skyler G:
For example, in our local scene,
1225
00:38:31,780 --> 00:38:33,480
Skyler G:
if anyone brings Raven S, she's
1226
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:34,199
Skyler G:
auto banned.
1227
00:38:34,199 --> 00:38:37,199
Skyler G:
Uh, she's the only auto banned
character I've seen the widow's
1228
00:38:37,199 --> 00:38:39,400
Skyler G:
go untouched in our league.
1229
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,440
Skyler G:
Uh, because I don't think
everyone fully understands how
1230
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:42,079
Skyler G:
strong she is.
1231
00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:43,719
Skyler G:
But Raven's is auto bans no
1232
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:44,920
Skyler G:
matter who brings her, right one
1233
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:45,559
Skyler G:
hundred percent.
1234
00:38:45,559 --> 00:38:48,960
Skyler G:
Um, so if you wanted to do
banned in our local scene, you
1235
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,559
Skyler G:
just bring a raven, you know,
you guarantee breezy?
1236
00:38:51,559 --> 00:38:53,920
Skyler G:
That's why I said like, if you
wanted to do like, if you really
1237
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,519
Skyler G:
wanted to play Pyromancer or
Psylocke, bring Raven.
1238
00:38:56,519 --> 00:38:59,039
Skyler G:
But again, my other advice
practice.
1239
00:38:59,039 --> 00:39:00,840
Skyler G:
Know how to play Raven just in
case.
1240
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:01,239
Skyler G:
Exactly.
1241
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,480
Skyler G:
As I said, I would probably say
cursed pirate.
1242
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,000
Skyler G:
Then since you do not apply
curse cursed, you have an idea
1243
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:07,760
Skyler G:
what you're doing on her.
1244
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,119
Skyler G:
So I would say she's a better
fan base.
1245
00:39:11,119 --> 00:39:14,119
Skyler G:
But that's if you go in, that's.
1246
00:39:14,119 --> 00:39:16,559
Skyler G:
Mind you, this is one strategy.
1247
00:39:16,559 --> 00:39:19,920
Skyler G:
The other strategy is just bring
three great characters you enjoy
1248
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:20,639
Skyler G:
all of right?
1249
00:39:20,639 --> 00:39:22,199
Skyler G:
That you think balance each
other out.
1250
00:39:22,199 --> 00:39:25,699
Skyler G:
Like, for example, you have an
andro character, you have a
1251
00:39:25,699 --> 00:39:28,400
Skyler G:
counter character, and then you
bring like a mid range character
1252
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,280
Skyler G:
like Rogue or Thor, right?
1253
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,400
Skyler G:
Uh, characters are a little more
flexible and they have a little
1254
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:33,639
Skyler G:
more wiggle room on their board.
1255
00:39:33,639 --> 00:39:34,599
Skyler G:
Right?
1256
00:39:34,599 --> 00:39:36,800
Skyler G:
That's a nice evened out team,
right?
1257
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:37,079
Skyler G:
Sure.
1258
00:39:37,079 --> 00:39:37,679
Skyler G:
Absolutely.
1259
00:39:37,679 --> 00:39:39,559
Skyler G:
That's another strategy, right.
1260
00:39:39,559 --> 00:39:41,880
Skyler G:
Uh, and there's other strategies
for picking the team as well,
1261
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,639
Skyler G:
but those are really the main
two I would advise people to do.
1262
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:50,730
Skyler G:
So now it's really kind of a
question of who should I replace
1263
00:39:50,730 --> 00:39:53,530
Skyler G:
my third menses with?
1264
00:39:53,530 --> 00:39:56,489
Skyler G:
Also, don't hate me for this, I
just remembered.
1265
00:39:56,489 --> 00:40:02,090
Skyler G:
I've also one time swapped that
third spot out for Pale Lady.
1266
00:40:02,090 --> 00:40:04,489
Skyler G:
I did bring Pale Lady one time.
1267
00:40:04,489 --> 00:40:07,050
Skyler G:
Uh. With that being said, we
don't have to get into a whole
1268
00:40:07,050 --> 00:40:09,269
Skyler G:
thing because I think we've
already really gone over kind of
1269
00:40:09,269 --> 00:40:15,369
Skyler G:
the, the equation, the
proverbial premise of how to
1270
00:40:15,369 --> 00:40:16,210
Skyler G:
build your team.
1271
00:40:16,210 --> 00:40:17,610
Skyler G:
I think that's where we're at.
1272
00:40:17,610 --> 00:40:20,250
Skyler G:
I'm kind of tempted to lean
towards rogue.
1273
00:40:20,250 --> 00:40:23,010
Skyler G:
I think that's a really
interesting choice.
1274
00:40:23,409 --> 00:40:24,969
Skyler G:
Rogue's a great character.
1275
00:40:24,969 --> 00:40:26,650
Skyler G:
I think she's really strong, and
1276
00:40:26,650 --> 00:40:28,929
Skyler G:
I think people who play a lot of
1277
00:40:28,929 --> 00:40:31,190
Skyler G:
rogue know her timings and know,
1278
00:40:31,190 --> 00:40:33,449
Skyler G:
like, uh, know how to play
1279
00:40:33,449 --> 00:40:34,090
Skyler G:
really well.
1280
00:40:34,090 --> 00:40:36,210
Skyler G:
And I think she's really strong
in certain matchups.
1281
00:40:36,210 --> 00:40:38,369
Skyler G:
So I would highly recommend you
practice it.
1282
00:40:38,369 --> 00:40:41,309
Skyler G:
Yeah, I went through a phase
where I played a lot of rogue,
1283
00:40:41,309 --> 00:40:44,489
Skyler G:
uh, and I found myself losing a
lot of games with her.
1284
00:40:44,489 --> 00:40:46,769
Skyler G:
And I kind of took it, took a
step back from her.
1285
00:40:46,769 --> 00:40:51,380
Skyler G:
And it doesn't mean she's bad is
what I took from it.
1286
00:40:51,380 --> 00:40:54,500
Skyler G:
What it told me is I'm not the
best at playing her, and might
1287
00:40:54,500 --> 00:40:56,699
Skyler G:
as well look for more characters
that fit my play style.
1288
00:40:56,699 --> 00:40:57,659
Skyler G:
Okay, that makes sense.
1289
00:40:57,659 --> 00:40:59,820
Skyler G:
That's why I recommend playing
her now.
1290
00:40:59,820 --> 00:41:02,059
Skyler G:
Seeing how you enjoy playing
her.
1291
00:41:02,059 --> 00:41:04,179
Skyler G:
See if she meshes with your play
style.
1292
00:41:04,179 --> 00:41:06,940
Skyler G:
If you can figure out her
concept and if you enjoy that,
1293
00:41:06,940 --> 00:41:09,500
Skyler G:
then keep playing it because she
is strong in the right hands.
1294
00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:11,579
Skyler G:
Yeah, but it's not my hands.
1295
00:41:11,579 --> 00:41:12,019
Skyler G:
That's not.
1296
00:41:12,019 --> 00:41:12,780
Skyler G:
What are you saying.
1297
00:41:12,579 --> 00:41:14,699
Skyler G:
That because I know we've talked
about this before.
1298
00:41:14,699 --> 00:41:15,980
Skyler G:
Previously on the show.
1299
00:41:15,980 --> 00:41:16,780
Skyler G:
Your play style.
1300
00:41:16,780 --> 00:41:17,500
Skyler G:
Very quick.
1301
00:41:17,500 --> 00:41:18,099
Skyler G:
Aggressive.
1302
00:41:18,099 --> 00:41:20,420
Skyler G:
Get the game done with kind of a
game.
1303
00:41:20,420 --> 00:41:22,699
Skyler G:
I'm a more long play type guy.
1304
00:41:22,579 --> 00:41:24,260
Skyler G:
It's funny, a pyromancer.
1305
00:41:24,300 --> 00:41:26,980
Skyler G:
Um, it is funny that I have
pyromancer.
1306
00:41:26,980 --> 00:41:30,780
Skyler G:
Uh, the funny thing is, is that
I, again, I win.
1307
00:41:30,780 --> 00:41:32,300
Skyler G:
I think I've won almost every
game.
1308
00:41:32,300 --> 00:41:34,179
Skyler G:
I've played pyromancer against
somebody.
1309
00:41:34,179 --> 00:41:35,059
Skyler G:
She's great.
1310
00:41:35,059 --> 00:41:36,500
Skyler G:
And I mean, she does the tanky
damage.
1311
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:37,599
Skyler G:
I think maybe there's a little
1312
00:41:37,599 --> 00:41:39,739
Skyler G:
bit in me that likes the quick
1313
00:41:39,739 --> 00:41:40,500
Skyler G:
game.
1314
00:41:40,500 --> 00:41:42,260
Skyler G:
Or maybe it's just I'm able to.
1315
00:41:42,260 --> 00:41:45,219
Skyler G:
I think it's because she's such
a simple character and she
1316
00:41:45,219 --> 00:41:47,500
Skyler G:
doesn't have a whole lot of
stuff I have to keep track of.
1317
00:41:47,860 --> 00:41:48,940
Skyler G:
Yeah, she.
1318
00:41:48,940 --> 00:41:51,380
Skyler G:
That's a big reason I like
Pyromancer.
1319
00:41:51,380 --> 00:41:52,860
Skyler G:
I recommend her to a lot of
people.
1320
00:41:52,860 --> 00:41:54,659
Skyler G:
Learning to be more competitive
1321
00:41:54,659 --> 00:41:56,699
Skyler G:
is when you take out the
1322
00:41:56,699 --> 00:41:58,940
Skyler G:
elements of complicated boards
1323
00:41:58,940 --> 00:42:00,380
Skyler G:
and complicated status effects,
1324
00:42:00,380 --> 00:42:01,699
Skyler G:
and put a character to a very
1325
00:42:01,699 --> 00:42:03,619
Skyler G:
basic level of high damage
1326
00:42:03,619 --> 00:42:04,539
Skyler G:
output.
1327
00:42:04,539 --> 00:42:07,280
Skyler G:
It really lets them focus more
on their cards and their hand,
1328
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,980
Skyler G:
and they like from our tips and
tricks video, I said, think
1329
00:42:09,980 --> 00:42:10,739
Skyler G:
through every card.
1330
00:42:10,739 --> 00:42:11,900
Skyler G:
When you draw it and think of
1331
00:42:11,900 --> 00:42:13,340
Skyler G:
every value you can get for that
1332
00:42:13,340 --> 00:42:13,860
Skyler G:
card.
1333
00:42:13,860 --> 00:42:14,820
Skyler G:
When you're playing a character
1334
00:42:14,820 --> 00:42:17,099
Skyler G:
like Pyromancer, you have the
1335
00:42:17,099 --> 00:42:18,699
Skyler G:
time to look at your cards
1336
00:42:18,699 --> 00:42:20,019
Skyler G:
because you're not drawing
1337
00:42:20,019 --> 00:42:20,460
Skyler G:
anymore.
1338
00:42:20,460 --> 00:42:22,539
Skyler G:
You're only drawing one a turn.
1339
00:42:22,539 --> 00:42:25,900
Skyler G:
So every time you draw a card,
that's the only card you're
1340
00:42:25,900 --> 00:42:29,420
Skyler G:
gonna see for a good hot second,
use it pun intended.
1341
00:42:29,420 --> 00:42:31,059
Skyler G:
Um, but like that.
1342
00:42:31,059 --> 00:42:32,300
Skyler G:
But because you take away the
1343
00:42:32,300 --> 00:42:33,500
Skyler G:
complication of the character
1344
00:42:33,500 --> 00:42:34,739
Skyler G:
board and everything, it makes
1345
00:42:34,739 --> 00:42:37,739
Skyler G:
it a lot easier to think in the
1346
00:42:37,739 --> 00:42:39,300
Skyler G:
bigger terms of strategy and
1347
00:42:39,300 --> 00:42:39,500
Skyler G:
stuff.
1348
00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:40,579
Skyler G:
And I think that's why she's a
1349
00:42:40,579 --> 00:42:42,340
Skyler G:
great starter character, because
1350
00:42:42,340 --> 00:42:44,789
Skyler G:
it lets you really ease into the
1351
00:42:44,789 --> 00:42:46,429
Skyler G:
more complicated sections of the
1352
00:42:46,429 --> 00:42:46,630
Skyler G:
game.
1353
00:42:46,630 --> 00:42:47,590
Skyler G:
And then once you really
1354
00:42:47,590 --> 00:42:49,809
Skyler G:
understand that and you can up
1355
00:42:49,809 --> 00:42:51,750
Skyler G:
your tempo and then play more
1356
00:42:51,750 --> 00:42:53,750
Skyler G:
aggressive characters, because
1357
00:42:53,750 --> 00:42:55,110
Skyler G:
the other characters I thought
1358
00:42:55,110 --> 00:42:56,349
Skyler G:
of that would be good for your
1359
00:42:56,349 --> 00:42:58,309
Skyler G:
team would be substitutes for
1360
00:42:58,309 --> 00:42:59,909
Skyler G:
Pyromancer, which are high aggro
1361
00:42:59,909 --> 00:43:00,889
Skyler G:
characters, which is what you
1362
00:43:00,889 --> 00:43:01,829
Skyler G:
were wanting.
1363
00:43:01,829 --> 00:43:04,070
Skyler G:
Uh, but not better than
Pyromancer.
1364
00:43:04,070 --> 00:43:05,230
Skyler G:
I'm talking Iceman, who's
1365
00:43:05,230 --> 00:43:06,869
Skyler G:
probably the strongest character
1366
00:43:06,869 --> 00:43:07,989
Skyler G:
in game Spider-Man, who's a
1367
00:43:07,989 --> 00:43:09,190
Skyler G:
really high aggro character as
1368
00:43:09,190 --> 00:43:09,550
Skyler G:
well.
1369
00:43:09,550 --> 00:43:14,130
Skyler G:
Or Gambit, uh, my personal pick
or headless horseman, all four
1370
00:43:14,130 --> 00:43:18,510
Skyler G:
of them do what a pyro does, but
better, uh, because they have
1371
00:43:18,510 --> 00:43:19,909
Skyler G:
more card draw.
1372
00:43:19,909 --> 00:43:24,190
Skyler G:
They have more, uh, they have
more options on their board.
1373
00:43:24,190 --> 00:43:24,590
Skyler G:
Right?
1374
00:43:24,590 --> 00:43:26,670
Skyler G:
They, they, they have more
utility.
1375
00:43:26,670 --> 00:43:29,070
Skyler G:
Uh, or they just hit harder.
1376
00:43:29,070 --> 00:43:29,550
Skyler G:
Right?
1377
00:43:29,550 --> 00:43:32,429
Skyler G:
So like Spider-Man has utility
with card draw from large
1378
00:43:32,429 --> 00:43:35,230
Skyler G:
straight gambit, you could do a
poker face in between, which
1379
00:43:35,230 --> 00:43:38,750
Skyler G:
gives you heal card draw builds
up stuff or headless horseman,
1380
00:43:38,750 --> 00:43:41,590
Skyler G:
which is just a. He doesn't hit
as hard as the other ones, but
1381
00:43:41,590 --> 00:43:44,159
Skyler G:
he does a lot of damage from
three different ways.
1382
00:43:44,159 --> 00:43:44,920
Skyler G:
Right.
1383
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,440
Skyler G:
And then he also has decent car
drove as well.
1384
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,760
Skyler G:
Uh, so all four of them do
something that's better than
1385
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,719
Skyler G:
just pyro, which honestly is
just hit hard.
1386
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:53,840
Skyler G:
That's all she does.
1387
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,079
Skyler G:
And while the other ones have
hit hard and do something else.
1388
00:43:56,079 --> 00:43:59,239
Skyler G:
Iceman's the hit hard way
harder.
1389
00:43:59,239 --> 00:43:59,679
Skyler G:
Yeah.
1390
00:43:59,679 --> 00:44:02,880
Skyler G:
And then also as the element to
get card draw as well.
1391
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:03,559
Skyler G:
So.
1392
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:04,280
Skyler G:
No, it's true.
1393
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,119
Skyler G:
It's funny because the only
character in there that you
1394
00:44:06,119 --> 00:44:08,599
Skyler G:
didn't brag up on was Spider-Man
that you listed.
1395
00:44:08,599 --> 00:44:10,639
Skyler G:
And honestly, that would
probably be my pick.
1396
00:44:10,639 --> 00:44:11,360
Skyler G:
Iceman.
1397
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:12,280
Skyler G:
I have a hard time.
1398
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,719
Skyler G:
I love Spider-Man, he's my go to
if I want to play a high aggro
1399
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,519
Skyler G:
character, I play spider.
1400
00:44:16,519 --> 00:44:20,400
Skyler G:
He goes, if I was to name the
four the four aggro characters,
1401
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:21,639
Skyler G:
my order would be headless.
1402
00:44:21,639 --> 00:44:23,800
Skyler G:
Spider-Man, Gambit, Iceman.
1403
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,199
Skyler G:
Iceman is the strongest.
1404
00:44:25,199 --> 00:44:26,679
Skyler G:
Yeah, yeah, he's my least
favorite.
1405
00:44:26,519 --> 00:44:28,579
Skyler G:
He's the one that I just can't
wrap my head around the whole,
1406
00:44:28,579 --> 00:44:31,960
Skyler G:
like transferring the icicles
between the freezer and then
1407
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:32,840
Skyler G:
back to you.
1408
00:44:32,639 --> 00:44:34,139
Skyler G:
And then you might really like
1409
00:44:34,139 --> 00:44:36,219
Skyler G:
him if I just showed you how to
1410
00:44:36,219 --> 00:44:36,840
Skyler G:
play him.
1411
00:44:36,679 --> 00:44:37,800
Skyler G:
It's possible.
1412
00:44:38,039 --> 00:44:39,000
Skyler G:
We played a couple games.
1413
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,650
Skyler G:
I showed you how good Iceman,
1414
00:44:40,650 --> 00:44:42,090
Skyler G:
because he's really simple to
1415
00:44:42,090 --> 00:44:42,409
Skyler G:
play.
1416
00:44:42,409 --> 00:44:43,969
Skyler G:
Sure, once you learn how to play
1417
00:44:43,969 --> 00:44:46,130
Skyler G:
Iceman, he's very, very simple
1418
00:44:46,130 --> 00:44:46,489
Skyler G:
to play.
1419
00:44:46,489 --> 00:44:47,090
Skyler G:
Fair enough.
1420
00:44:47,090 --> 00:44:48,690
Skyler G:
Uh, and once you get that, the
1421
00:44:48,690 --> 00:44:49,610
Skyler G:
transfer thing's not that
1422
00:44:49,610 --> 00:44:50,250
Skyler G:
complicated.
1423
00:44:50,250 --> 00:44:51,610
Skyler G:
Once you see it in action, you
1424
00:44:51,610 --> 00:44:53,369
Skyler G:
play it a few times, it becomes
1425
00:44:53,369 --> 00:44:54,730
Skyler G:
second nature.
1426
00:44:54,730 --> 00:44:56,610
Skyler G:
Uh, and he's very simple to
play.
1427
00:44:56,610 --> 00:44:59,170
Skyler G:
He's really on the same level of
pyromancer.
1428
00:44:59,170 --> 00:45:01,050
Skyler G:
We're very simplistic.
1429
00:45:01,050 --> 00:45:03,489
Skyler G:
Um, it's just he does everything
better.
1430
00:45:03,489 --> 00:45:04,210
Skyler G:
Okay.
1431
00:45:04,050 --> 00:45:05,449
Skyler G:
Fair enough, fair enough.
1432
00:45:05,449 --> 00:45:08,050
Skyler G:
Spider-Man, I like, I mean,
combo, it's straightforward.
1433
00:45:08,050 --> 00:45:10,010
Skyler G:
Just do another attack phase.
1434
00:45:09,809 --> 00:45:11,889
Skyler G:
Or if you see a large straight
ticket, take it.
1435
00:45:11,889 --> 00:45:14,449
Skyler G:
Because Spider-Man, in my
opinion, has the best large
1436
00:45:14,449 --> 00:45:15,289
Skyler G:
straight in the game.
1437
00:45:15,130 --> 00:45:15,769
Skyler G:
Absolutely.
1438
00:45:15,610 --> 00:45:17,889
Skyler G:
As it does high damage, it does
around ten damage.
1439
00:45:17,889 --> 00:45:18,449
Skyler G:
Wow.
1440
00:45:18,449 --> 00:45:19,530
Skyler G:
Because it does eight damage and
1441
00:45:19,530 --> 00:45:20,369
Skyler G:
then a web which is an
1442
00:45:20,369 --> 00:45:20,929
Skyler G:
additional two.
1443
00:45:20,929 --> 00:45:22,170
Skyler G:
And then it makes the next
attack.
1444
00:45:22,170 --> 00:45:22,809
Skyler G:
Undefendable.
1445
00:45:22,809 --> 00:45:23,449
Skyler G:
That's huge.
1446
00:45:23,449 --> 00:45:23,769
Skyler G:
That is.
1447
00:45:23,769 --> 00:45:25,010
Skyler G:
So then you draw a card.
1448
00:45:25,010 --> 00:45:26,849
Skyler G:
Yeah, that's just insane value.
1449
00:45:26,849 --> 00:45:29,329
Skyler G:
That's about like thirteen delta
value.
1450
00:45:29,329 --> 00:45:29,610
Skyler G:
Okay.
1451
00:45:29,610 --> 00:45:30,449
Skyler G:
That's insane.
1452
00:45:30,250 --> 00:45:31,289
Skyler G:
Fair enough.
1453
00:45:31,289 --> 00:45:32,530
Skyler G:
And then let's see how this
1454
00:45:32,530 --> 00:45:33,489
Skyler G:
horseman I haven't actually
1455
00:45:33,489 --> 00:45:33,969
Skyler G:
played before.
1456
00:45:33,969 --> 00:45:35,889
Skyler G:
So I, I don't know much about
it.
1457
00:45:35,730 --> 00:45:36,809
Skyler G:
He's a law practice.
1458
00:45:36,650 --> 00:45:37,530
Skyler G:
Sure. That makes sense.
1459
00:45:37,530 --> 00:45:39,409
Skyler G:
And then what was the gambit?
1460
00:45:39,409 --> 00:45:41,010
Skyler G:
Gambit is interesting.
1461
00:45:40,849 --> 00:45:41,809
Skyler G:
He's a lot of practice.
1462
00:45:41,849 --> 00:45:43,329
Skyler G:
Gambit needs a lot of practice.
1463
00:45:43,329 --> 00:45:44,650
Skyler G:
He is a fun character.
1464
00:45:44,650 --> 00:45:46,010
Skyler G:
I've played him a few times.
1465
00:45:46,010 --> 00:45:47,409
Skyler G:
He's a fun character.
1466
00:45:47,409 --> 00:45:48,369
Skyler G:
If you're in a friends
1467
00:45:48,369 --> 00:45:49,690
Skyler G:
tournament, it can be really
1468
00:45:49,690 --> 00:45:50,289
Skyler G:
intimidating.
1469
00:45:50,289 --> 00:45:51,610
Skyler G:
If you're a ranked and you have
1470
00:45:51,610 --> 00:45:53,050
Skyler G:
to like, you know, again, it
1471
00:45:53,050 --> 00:45:53,969
Skyler G:
needs practice.
1472
00:45:53,969 --> 00:45:55,489
Skyler G:
You got a lot to keep track of.
1473
00:45:55,489 --> 00:45:57,090
Skyler G:
But it's interesting, it's
1474
00:45:57,090 --> 00:45:58,769
Skyler G:
exciting, and it's a very
1475
00:45:58,769 --> 00:45:59,650
Skyler G:
versatile.
1476
00:45:59,730 --> 00:46:00,289
Skyler G:
Oh yeah.
1477
00:46:00,090 --> 00:46:00,769
Skyler G:
Where he can do.
1478
00:46:00,769 --> 00:46:02,409
Skyler G:
So it's just it takes those
1479
00:46:02,409 --> 00:46:03,849
Skyler G:
knowing how to like combo a lot
1480
00:46:03,849 --> 00:46:04,130
Skyler G:
of things.
1481
00:46:04,130 --> 00:46:05,929
Skyler G:
That's going to be a really
interesting deep dive.
1482
00:46:05,929 --> 00:46:08,010
Skyler G:
It's a long ways down the road,
but it's going to be a really
1483
00:46:08,010 --> 00:46:09,610
Skyler G:
interesting deep dive when we
get to it.
1484
00:46:09,449 --> 00:46:11,349
Skyler G:
Well, my final thing I would say
1485
00:46:11,349 --> 00:46:13,409
Skyler G:
is, uh, one other thing you can
1486
00:46:13,409 --> 00:46:16,469
Skyler G:
use is, um, I talked about this
1487
00:46:16,469 --> 00:46:18,010
Skyler G:
in one of our earlier episodes
1488
00:46:18,010 --> 00:46:19,170
Skyler G:
in the meta breakdown where I
1489
00:46:19,170 --> 00:46:21,050
Skyler G:
talked about what I got going in
1490
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:21,809
Skyler G:
Carnyx.
1491
00:46:21,809 --> 00:46:25,090
Skyler G:
Uh, he created a team builder,
right?
1492
00:46:25,090 --> 00:46:26,530
Skyler G:
Which is a utility you can use
to it.
1493
00:46:26,530 --> 00:46:30,889
Skyler G:
And it literally lets you plug
in three characters.
1494
00:46:30,889 --> 00:46:33,809
Skyler G:
I could even show you right here
so Skylar can see it.
1495
00:46:33,809 --> 00:46:38,219
Skyler G:
So I go over here, the carnyx
okay, and Okay, turn my mic.
1496
00:46:38,219 --> 00:46:41,500
Skyler G:
So right here we got a team
builder.
1497
00:46:41,500 --> 00:46:43,000
Skyler G:
So this sucks for the, the the
1498
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,699
Skyler G:
the, the audio element, but I'll
1499
00:46:44,699 --> 00:46:46,539
Skyler G:
just explain it basically what
1500
00:46:46,539 --> 00:46:46,980
Skyler G:
use.
1501
00:46:46,780 --> 00:46:47,940
Skyler G:
Is a free thing, right?
1502
00:46:47,780 --> 00:46:48,500
Skyler G:
Yeah, it's free.
1503
00:46:49,659 --> 00:46:51,659
Skyler G:
And this isn't it by any means,
any kind of a sponsor or
1504
00:46:51,659 --> 00:46:52,300
Skyler G:
anything like that.
1505
00:46:52,300 --> 00:46:58,340
Skyler G:
But k a r n y x dot app a p p
uh, you can open it up.
1506
00:46:58,340 --> 00:47:00,860
Skyler G:
And if you want to follow along
with us, feel free to do so.
1507
00:47:00,860 --> 00:47:02,860
Skyler G:
We'll try to do our best to
explain it.
1508
00:47:02,659 --> 00:47:03,860
Skyler G:
Basically, when you click the
1509
00:47:03,860 --> 00:47:05,659
Skyler G:
utilities, which is a tab on the
1510
00:47:05,659 --> 00:47:07,800
Skyler G:
left, you'll see like eight
1511
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:08,179
Skyler G:
options.
1512
00:47:08,179 --> 00:47:09,860
Skyler G:
I think he has now, uh, one of
1513
00:47:09,860 --> 00:47:11,059
Skyler G:
them is team builder, quick team
1514
00:47:11,059 --> 00:47:12,059
Skyler G:
builder, and you'll see your
1515
00:47:12,059 --> 00:47:13,860
Skyler G:
team, enemy team, all we really
1516
00:47:13,860 --> 00:47:15,739
Skyler G:
care about, all for what we're
1517
00:47:15,739 --> 00:47:17,340
Skyler G:
doing right now is you click
1518
00:47:17,340 --> 00:47:18,619
Skyler G:
your team.
1519
00:47:18,699 --> 00:47:19,300
Skyler G:
I'm just.
1520
00:47:19,099 --> 00:47:19,539
Skyler G:
Imagining.
1521
00:47:19,539 --> 00:47:22,920
Skyler G:
And then it shows you all forty
characters and then it says zero
1522
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:23,579
Skyler G:
out of three.
1523
00:47:23,579 --> 00:47:25,019
Skyler G:
You actually can adjust that if
1524
00:47:25,019 --> 00:47:26,219
Skyler G:
you change the settings to make
1525
00:47:26,219 --> 00:47:27,260
Skyler G:
it before.
1526
00:47:27,260 --> 00:47:29,099
Skyler G:
But for our local rinks, it's
three.
1527
00:47:29,099 --> 00:47:33,739
Skyler G:
So let's say for example, let's
do Skyler's hypothetical team.
1528
00:47:33,739 --> 00:47:38,150
Skyler G:
Uh, Um, let's grab pyro.
1529
00:47:38,150 --> 00:47:40,389
Skyler G:
Let's grab who you wanted,
rogue.
1530
00:47:40,389 --> 00:47:41,829
Skyler G:
Or do you want someone else?
1531
00:47:41,989 --> 00:47:42,309
Skyler G:
Uh, yeah.
1532
00:47:42,309 --> 00:47:43,550
Skyler G:
Let's go rogue if we're.
1533
00:47:43,670 --> 00:47:46,630
Skyler G:
Rogue and two characters.
1534
00:47:46,630 --> 00:47:50,710
Skyler G:
And then after you type in those
things, um.
1535
00:47:51,949 --> 00:47:52,590
Skyler G:
There we go.
1536
00:47:52,469 --> 00:47:58,429
Skyler G:
It will show your team and it'll
show you, um, which characters
1537
00:47:58,429 --> 00:48:00,030
Skyler G:
you need to be worried about.
1538
00:47:59,829 --> 00:48:00,869
Skyler G:
Oh, this is interesting.
1539
00:48:00,869 --> 00:48:02,869
Skyler G:
So for critical threats, we got
1540
00:48:02,869 --> 00:48:04,110
Skyler G:
critical major and minor
1541
00:48:04,110 --> 00:48:04,389
Skyler G:
threats.
1542
00:48:04,389 --> 00:48:05,110
Skyler G:
So critical threats.
1543
00:48:05,110 --> 00:48:07,269
Skyler G:
These are the characters I
really critical.
1544
00:48:07,110 --> 00:48:09,670
Skyler G:
In this because you're with
three means all three of them
1545
00:48:09,670 --> 00:48:10,949
Skyler G:
counter all three of you.
1546
00:48:11,070 --> 00:48:11,510
Skyler G:
Got it.
1547
00:48:11,510 --> 00:48:15,409
Skyler G:
Okay, so this is Black Widow,
Gambit, Thor and Ninja, which
1548
00:48:15,409 --> 00:48:19,389
Skyler G:
ironically are high meta ranking
characters, which is fair.
1549
00:48:19,389 --> 00:48:24,909
Skyler G:
Major threats include
Spider-Man, Ravenous Iceman,
1550
00:48:24,909 --> 00:48:31,349
Skyler G:
Cursed Pirate, Shadow Thief,
Krampus, and Trent, and again, a
1551
00:48:31,349 --> 00:48:34,190
Skyler G:
lot of high ranking meta
characters in there, with the
1552
00:48:34,190 --> 00:48:35,829
Skyler G:
exception of the last two.
1553
00:48:36,110 --> 00:48:38,989
Skyler G:
Yeah. So the thing here is what
1554
00:48:38,989 --> 00:48:40,309
Skyler G:
you do when you're making a team
1555
00:48:40,309 --> 00:48:42,630
Skyler G:
on this is you can swap out and
1556
00:48:42,630 --> 00:48:44,110
Skyler G:
change certain characters on
1557
00:48:44,110 --> 00:48:45,309
Skyler G:
your team.
1558
00:48:45,309 --> 00:48:48,869
Skyler G:
Uh, for example, I might swap
Skyler's pyro for an Iceman.
1559
00:48:48,869 --> 00:48:50,789
Skyler G:
Well, you're going for a heavy
X-Men lineup.
1560
00:48:50,789 --> 00:48:52,510
Skyler G:
That's totally, um.
1561
00:48:52,789 --> 00:48:54,710
Skyler G:
But let's see how that changes
things.
1562
00:48:54,710 --> 00:48:55,750
Skyler G:
See, that really.
1563
00:48:55,550 --> 00:48:56,710
Skyler G:
Doesn't change much, but it
1564
00:48:56,710 --> 00:48:58,110
Skyler G:
swaps out some characters you do
1565
00:48:58,110 --> 00:48:58,710
Skyler G:
good against.
1566
00:48:58,710 --> 00:49:01,269
Skyler G:
And so some characters you don't
do good against.
1567
00:49:01,269 --> 00:49:01,670
Skyler G:
Yeah.
1568
00:49:01,670 --> 00:49:03,750
Skyler G:
Uh, but you can mess around with
this all day.
1569
00:49:03,750 --> 00:49:04,869
Skyler G:
You want to find really good
1570
00:49:04,869 --> 00:49:06,789
Skyler G:
team, or you can find out like
1571
00:49:06,789 --> 00:49:08,989
Skyler G:
you could like memorize, be like
1572
00:49:08,989 --> 00:49:09,710
Skyler G:
Black Widow.
1573
00:49:09,710 --> 00:49:11,070
Skyler G:
Raven is Gambit Ninja.
1574
00:49:11,070 --> 00:49:12,230
Skyler G:
These are the four I'm looking
out for.
1575
00:49:12,230 --> 00:49:14,610
Skyler G:
If my opponent brings these
four, I'm bringing them right
1576
00:49:14,610 --> 00:49:16,789
Skyler G:
because they do really good
against my characters, right?
1577
00:49:16,789 --> 00:49:21,550
Skyler G:
It's just is a good way for you
to visualize, uh, what your team
1578
00:49:21,550 --> 00:49:23,510
Skyler G:
does good and what do bad guys.
1579
00:49:23,510 --> 00:49:24,190
Skyler G:
Yeah, yeah.
1580
00:49:24,190 --> 00:49:25,630
Skyler G:
No, it's like what the trends
are.
1581
00:49:25,469 --> 00:49:27,949
Skyler G:
It's nice because I'm a visual
learner and so it's nice to be
1582
00:49:27,949 --> 00:49:28,829
Skyler G:
able to see.
1583
00:49:28,829 --> 00:49:31,094
Skyler G:
And then you kind of you're
able, like, you can tell me
1584
00:49:31,094 --> 00:49:34,119
Skyler G:
concepts of like, oh, this is
this type of a character.
1585
00:49:34,119 --> 00:49:35,079
Skyler G:
So it doesn't work that well
1586
00:49:35,079 --> 00:49:35,860
Skyler G:
against this type of a
1587
00:49:35,860 --> 00:49:36,880
Skyler G:
character, but it really helps
1588
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,400
Skyler G:
to see those characters in play
1589
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:40,960
Skyler G:
and be like, oh, that makes
1590
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:42,480
Skyler G:
sense why that character would
1591
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,079
Skyler G:
be a critical threat or a major
1592
00:49:44,079 --> 00:49:44,679
Skyler G:
threat.
1593
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,239
Skyler G:
Another thing this app lets you
do is you can click the little
1594
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:48,760
Skyler G:
button that says Optimize Draft.
1595
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,159
Skyler G:
And what it does is it looks at
your draft and looks at what
1596
00:49:51,159 --> 00:49:55,360
Skyler G:
counters, and it will say, hey,
this character is weak.
1597
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:56,079
Skyler G:
Psylocke.
1598
00:49:56,079 --> 00:50:03,159
Skyler G:
It says, you could swap in, uh,
Black Widow, which is a device
1599
00:50:03,159 --> 00:50:03,960
Skyler G:
that's given you.
1600
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,119
Skyler G:
It would say, and it gives you
1601
00:50:05,119 --> 00:50:06,760
Skyler G:
reasons why you would swap in
1602
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:07,800
Skyler G:
this character and what would
1603
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:08,760
Skyler G:
change your odds and stuff in
1604
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:09,480
Skyler G:
your team.
1605
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,280
Skyler G:
Uh, here's the thing about the
optimized draft.
1606
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:15,880
Skyler G:
I will just say warn you right
now, um, it will always just say
1607
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:19,320
Skyler G:
who your weakest character is
and you will always say Black
1608
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:20,119
Skyler G:
Widow or Raven.
1609
00:50:20,119 --> 00:50:21,840
Skyler G:
It's not even joking.
1610
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,079
Skyler G:
That's what it does.
1611
00:50:23,079 --> 00:50:26,280
Skyler G:
I tested out a lot of I've
messed around with this a ton.
1612
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,599
Skyler G:
It will always just say, this is
your weakest character.
1613
00:50:28,599 --> 00:50:30,150
Skyler G:
Swap them out for Black Widow
1614
00:50:30,150 --> 00:50:31,610
Skyler G:
because Black Widow and Raven
1615
00:50:31,610 --> 00:50:32,969
Skyler G:
have the highest two inmates on
1616
00:50:32,969 --> 00:50:34,170
Skyler G:
the map.
1617
00:50:34,010 --> 00:50:34,809
Skyler G:
Got it.
1618
00:50:34,690 --> 00:50:40,050
Skyler G:
So for that reason, it's it's
it's good for one reason.
1619
00:50:40,050 --> 00:50:41,130
Skyler G:
The optimized draft thing.
1620
00:50:41,130 --> 00:50:42,329
Skyler G:
If you don't know who your
1621
00:50:42,329 --> 00:50:43,489
Skyler G:
weakest character is on your
1622
00:50:43,489 --> 00:50:45,409
Skyler G:
team, uh, you could optimize
1623
00:50:45,409 --> 00:50:45,730
Skyler G:
draft.
1624
00:50:45,730 --> 00:50:47,289
Skyler G:
It'll tell you who your weakest
character is.
1625
00:50:47,289 --> 00:50:48,210
Skyler G:
But the problem.
1626
00:50:48,010 --> 00:50:50,010
Skyler G:
Is, is that in my situation, the
1627
00:50:50,010 --> 00:50:51,349
Skyler G:
character that wants to get rid
1628
00:50:51,349 --> 00:50:52,630
Skyler G:
of is the character that was in
1629
00:50:52,630 --> 00:50:54,170
Skyler G:
no negotiations.
1630
00:50:54,010 --> 00:50:54,610
Skyler G:
That's right.
1631
00:50:54,610 --> 00:50:55,869
Skyler G:
That's why I'm saying optimized,
1632
00:50:55,869 --> 00:50:57,369
Skyler G:
optimized draft isn't going to
1633
00:50:57,369 --> 00:50:57,929
Skyler G:
solve anything.
1634
00:50:57,929 --> 00:51:00,130
Skyler G:
It's like isn't a catch all
solution.
1635
00:51:00,130 --> 00:51:02,530
Skyler G:
It's just telling you this is
your weakest character.
1636
00:51:02,530 --> 00:51:03,409
Skyler G:
Because I'm telling you it's
1637
00:51:03,409 --> 00:51:04,650
Skyler G:
always going to say Black Widow
1638
00:51:04,650 --> 00:51:05,130
Skyler G:
Raven.
1639
00:51:05,130 --> 00:51:06,849
Skyler G:
I'm just going to tell you
1640
00:51:06,849 --> 00:51:07,769
Skyler G:
that's what it's always going to
1641
00:51:07,769 --> 00:51:10,630
Skyler G:
say, but it will swap out, say,
1642
00:51:10,630 --> 00:51:11,369
Skyler G:
your weakest.
1643
00:51:11,369 --> 00:51:12,849
Skyler G:
So that's a very helpful thing.
1644
00:51:12,849 --> 00:51:15,250
Skyler G:
You can use online comics.
1645
00:51:15,250 --> 00:51:20,889
Skyler G:
Uh, another thing I would say,
um, and I put this in all caps.
1646
00:51:21,250 --> 00:51:21,969
Skyler G:
Oh boy.
1647
00:51:22,449 --> 00:51:27,610
Skyler G:
I will always recommend to play
characters, you know, before you
1648
00:51:27,610 --> 00:51:31,179
Skyler G:
play an S tier character you've
never played before.
1649
00:51:31,019 --> 00:51:33,420
Skyler G:
I think this is something that
we're going to end up repeating
1650
00:51:33,420 --> 00:51:35,059
Skyler G:
every single episode.
1651
00:51:35,059 --> 00:51:37,420
Skyler G:
For those of you out there that
are listening.
1652
00:51:37,260 --> 00:51:39,780
Skyler G:
Because if you've never played
the character before and you're
1653
00:51:39,780 --> 00:51:42,760
Skyler G:
bringing them to a competitive
scene, you're just going to get
1654
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,940
Skyler G:
the floor wiped with you because
you're going to have no idea
1655
00:51:44,940 --> 00:51:45,739
Skyler G:
what you're doing.
1656
00:51:45,739 --> 00:51:48,659
Skyler G:
Yeah, you're going to go for the
wrong things at the wrong time.
1657
00:51:48,659 --> 00:51:51,380
Skyler G:
You're going to be stumbling all
over your own character board.
1658
00:51:51,380 --> 00:51:54,460
Skyler G:
And then your opponent, who does
know what they're doing is just
1659
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:56,099
Skyler G:
going to kind of cakewalk you.
1660
00:51:56,059 --> 00:51:58,420
Skyler G:
Great example of this was during
1661
00:51:58,420 --> 00:52:00,420
Skyler G:
a ranked play is, I think the
1662
00:52:00,420 --> 00:52:03,559
Skyler G:
first night that we did it and
1663
00:52:03,559 --> 00:52:05,280
Skyler G:
we got matched against each
1664
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,780
Skyler G:
other and we both had cursed
1665
00:52:07,780 --> 00:52:10,000
Skyler G:
pirate and we thought, hey, it'd
1666
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,079
Skyler G:
be funny to do a what do you
1667
00:52:12,079 --> 00:52:12,780
Skyler G:
call it?
1668
00:52:12,900 --> 00:52:13,619
Skyler G:
Rematch.
1669
00:52:13,460 --> 00:52:15,659
Skyler G:
Mirror match of Cursed Pirate.
1670
00:52:15,659 --> 00:52:18,099
Skyler G:
And I remember and keep in mind,
yes.
1671
00:52:18,099 --> 00:52:20,260
Skyler G:
Have I played Cursed Pirate a
few times before?
1672
00:52:20,260 --> 00:52:20,820
Skyler G:
Yes.
1673
00:52:20,820 --> 00:52:22,099
Skyler G:
AM I great with Cursed Pirate?
1674
00:52:22,099 --> 00:52:22,900
Skyler G:
Not really.
1675
00:52:22,900 --> 00:52:26,659
Skyler G:
I mean, I, I enjoy the
character, I'm a thematic guy
1676
00:52:26,659 --> 00:52:30,500
Skyler G:
over knowing the meta and how
things work and the mathematics
1677
00:52:30,500 --> 00:52:31,500
Skyler G:
and all the other stuff.
1678
00:52:31,500 --> 00:52:34,380
Skyler G:
I just think she's a cool
character and I figured it'd be
1679
00:52:34,380 --> 00:52:36,139
Skyler G:
fun to play her.
1680
00:52:36,139 --> 00:52:38,440
Skyler G:
I watched you play Cursed
1681
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,300
Skyler G:
Pirate, and it was fascinating
1682
00:52:41,300 --> 00:52:43,820
Skyler G:
because you had a very specific
1683
00:52:43,820 --> 00:52:45,059
Skyler G:
strategy in mind that you
1684
00:52:45,059 --> 00:52:45,860
Skyler G:
followed through.
1685
00:52:45,860 --> 00:52:50,019
Skyler G:
And to be fair, I got the floor
wiped for sure on my end.
1686
00:52:50,019 --> 00:52:51,780
Skyler G:
But it was very fascinating to
1687
00:52:51,780 --> 00:52:53,179
Skyler G:
see somebody who knows what the
1688
00:52:53,179 --> 00:52:54,940
Skyler G:
heck they're doing with the
1689
00:52:54,940 --> 00:52:57,219
Skyler G:
character, and then me over here
1690
00:52:57,219 --> 00:52:59,239
Skyler G:
just kind of playing it as I go,
1691
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:00,699
Skyler G:
hoping for the best, hoping for
1692
00:53:00,699 --> 00:53:01,139
Skyler G:
the best.
1693
00:53:01,139 --> 00:53:01,539
Skyler G:
Yeah.
1694
00:53:01,539 --> 00:53:05,460
Skyler G:
And I think that's the prime
example of when you sit down
1695
00:53:05,460 --> 00:53:06,139
Skyler G:
with a player.
1696
00:53:06,139 --> 00:53:08,980
Skyler G:
And it helped that we were both
playing the same character.
1697
00:53:08,980 --> 00:53:11,460
Skyler G:
Yeah, that's when you get to see
you saw.
1698
00:53:11,380 --> 00:53:14,860
Skyler G:
What you should be doing versus
what you normally were doing.
1699
00:53:14,860 --> 00:53:16,199
Skyler G:
Wasn't the full best thing
1700
00:53:16,199 --> 00:53:18,159
Skyler G:
though, to be fair, this is a is
1701
00:53:18,159 --> 00:53:19,739
Skyler G:
a good story to iterate at this
1702
00:53:19,739 --> 00:53:20,820
Skyler G:
point.
1703
00:53:20,820 --> 00:53:22,440
Skyler G:
There is a flaw to it, which is
1704
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:23,500
Skyler G:
your matches are some of the
1705
00:53:23,500 --> 00:53:24,829
Skyler G:
weirdest things in dice down
1706
00:53:24,829 --> 00:53:26,429
Skyler G:
because you play mirror matches
1707
00:53:26,429 --> 00:53:27,750
Skyler G:
so different than a normal
1708
00:53:27,750 --> 00:53:30,309
Skyler G:
matchup because of the element
1709
00:53:30,309 --> 00:53:31,530
Skyler G:
of what the mirror matchup is
1710
00:53:31,530 --> 00:53:31,750
Skyler G:
like.
1711
00:53:31,750 --> 00:53:33,309
Skyler G:
The cursed pirate matchup, for
example.
1712
00:53:33,309 --> 00:53:34,389
Skyler G:
All we're doing is playing X
1713
00:53:34,389 --> 00:53:35,550
Skyler G:
marks the spot because your goal
1714
00:53:35,550 --> 00:53:37,469
Skyler G:
in that matchup is to not flip
1715
00:53:37,469 --> 00:53:37,829
Skyler G:
first.
1716
00:53:37,829 --> 00:53:40,190
Skyler G:
That's your whole goal, right?
1717
00:53:40,190 --> 00:53:43,949
Skyler G:
That's such a weird way to play
because all we were doing was X
1718
00:53:43,949 --> 00:53:45,510
Skyler G:
marks the spot the whole game.
1719
00:53:45,309 --> 00:53:47,469
Skyler G:
No, you were doing X, you were.
1720
00:53:47,389 --> 00:53:48,949
Skyler G:
Swapping between different
abilities.
1721
00:53:48,949 --> 00:53:50,309
Skyler G:
I was going back to X marks the
1722
00:53:50,309 --> 00:53:51,769
Skyler G:
spot and you saw me just doing X
1723
00:53:51,769 --> 00:53:53,949
Skyler G:
the whole game because I knew in
1724
00:53:53,949 --> 00:53:56,150
Skyler G:
this matchup if I flipped first,
1725
00:53:56,150 --> 00:53:56,789
Skyler G:
I lose.
1726
00:53:56,789 --> 00:53:58,269
Skyler G:
And so I was just going to sit
1727
00:53:58,269 --> 00:53:59,949
Skyler G:
back and watch you flip and then
1728
00:53:59,949 --> 00:54:01,269
Skyler G:
just take it easy from that
1729
00:54:01,269 --> 00:54:01,949
Skyler G:
point.
1730
00:54:01,949 --> 00:54:03,869
Skyler G:
And that was one of those
moments.
1731
00:54:03,869 --> 00:54:08,349
Skyler G:
It's like, um, in horror movies
when like the person realizes
1732
00:54:08,349 --> 00:54:11,190
Skyler G:
that they cannot escape the
monster or the bad guy or
1733
00:54:11,190 --> 00:54:12,110
Skyler G:
whatever the case.
1734
00:54:12,110 --> 00:54:13,869
Skyler G:
That's what I hit when I was
1735
00:54:13,869 --> 00:54:15,630
Skyler G:
watching you play and you did X
1736
00:54:15,630 --> 00:54:17,809
Skyler G:
marks the spot every single
1737
00:54:17,809 --> 00:54:18,429
Skyler G:
turn.
1738
00:54:18,429 --> 00:54:21,630
Skyler G:
And the second I saw you do it,
like twice, that's when I
1739
00:54:21,630 --> 00:54:23,920
Skyler G:
realized, well, I messed up.
1740
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,519
Skyler G:
I should have been doing that.
1741
00:54:26,519 --> 00:54:28,760
Skyler G:
And I mean, I'm not saying
that's I'm assuming that's
1742
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,920
Skyler G:
probably not the strategy you
would use for a cursed pirate
1743
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:33,519
Skyler G:
against certain characters.
1744
00:54:33,519 --> 00:54:35,880
Skyler G:
There might be some characters
out there that you probably.
1745
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:37,239
Skyler G:
It depends on the matchups and
stuff.
1746
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,320
Skyler G:
Yeah, this isn't a cursed pirate
breakdown.
1747
00:54:39,159 --> 00:54:40,119
Skyler G:
Well, no, that's true.
1748
00:54:40,119 --> 00:54:41,719
Skyler G:
But yeah, so it was just, again,
1749
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:42,920
Skyler G:
seeing a person who knows what
1750
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,239
Skyler G:
they're doing and, and realizing
1751
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:45,960
Skyler G:
that.
1752
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,239
Skyler G:
And, uh, that's, that's kind of
a scary moment to be in.
1753
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,320
Skyler G:
And so that's exactly what we're
talking about here, right?
1754
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,599
Skyler G:
Is this idea of like, when you
1755
00:54:52,599 --> 00:54:54,199
Skyler G:
understand the inside outs of
1756
00:54:54,199 --> 00:54:55,420
Skyler G:
the character, you know what to
1757
00:54:55,420 --> 00:54:56,800
Skyler G:
aim for and you know what to go
1758
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:57,559
Skyler G:
for.
1759
00:54:57,559 --> 00:54:59,760
Skyler G:
That's when you become a
dangerous player.
1760
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:00,400
Skyler G:
Yeah.
1761
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,280
Skyler G:
Um, and now we did all this
talking stuff.
1762
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,800
Skyler G:
People are probably like, okay,
Bill, you talk about game.
1763
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,440
Skyler G:
What's your three?
1764
00:55:08,079 --> 00:55:10,159
Skyler G:
Oh man, now you gotta now you
gotta brag it up.
1765
00:55:10,159 --> 00:55:11,320
Skyler G:
Is that what we're doing?
1766
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,480
Skyler G:
Well, the thing is, if people
hear my three, they'll go, okay,
1767
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:15,679
Skyler G:
that's actually not like, uh,
you'll hear my three.
1768
00:55:15,679 --> 00:55:18,880
Skyler G:
And, uh, if you remember our top
ten breakdown, whatever you.
1769
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:24,119
Skyler G:
So my team is, uh, Headless
horseman or pirate.
1770
00:55:24,159 --> 00:55:24,880
Skyler G:
Brutal.
1771
00:55:25,159 --> 00:55:26,000
Skyler G:
Brutal.
1772
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,599
Skyler G:
But none of them are like the.
1773
00:55:28,599 --> 00:55:29,920
Skyler G:
I don't have a raven.
1774
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,079
Skyler G:
I don't have a shadow theme.
1775
00:55:31,079 --> 00:55:32,239
Skyler G:
This is true though.
1776
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:35,639
Skyler G:
They're within the top ten, but
not necessarily the top.
1777
00:55:35,639 --> 00:55:36,800
Skyler G:
Like three to five.
1778
00:55:36,639 --> 00:55:38,039
Skyler G:
Exactly like Headless Horseman
1779
00:55:38,039 --> 00:55:39,280
Skyler G:
isn't the strongest aggro
1780
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:39,760
Skyler G:
character.
1781
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,760
Skyler G:
No. Like, I could bring Iceman
or Spider-Man, but like.
1782
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:44,260
Skyler G:
If I remember correctly,
1783
00:55:44,260 --> 00:55:45,920
Skyler G:
Headless Horseman was like nine
1784
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:46,360
Skyler G:
or ten.
1785
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:46,880
Skyler G:
Yeah.
1786
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,480
Skyler G:
So Thor was five and Cruise
Pirate, I think was like four.
1787
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:51,000
Skyler G:
Yeah.
1788
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:52,760
Skyler G:
So I like bringing them.
1789
00:55:52,559 --> 00:55:55,400
Skyler G:
My reasoning for this team is
headless horseman is my aggro
1790
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,840
Skyler G:
character, who I think is pretty
versatile with his board.
1791
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,559
Skyler G:
Uh, he's pretty aggro, but he
1792
00:55:59,559 --> 00:56:01,360
Skyler G:
has a lot of things, uh, to help
1793
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:04,519
Skyler G:
him be versatile or king of the
1794
00:56:04,519 --> 00:56:05,320
Skyler G:
versatility.
1795
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:05,800
Skyler G:
Sure.
1796
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:07,599
Skyler G:
Uh, and then of course, pirate.
1797
00:56:07,599 --> 00:56:08,960
Skyler G:
Great defense.
1798
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:10,639
Skyler G:
If I think the opponent's gonna
hit my defense.
1799
00:56:10,639 --> 00:56:14,039
Skyler G:
I usually pick curse pirate or,
uh, she's very versatile with
1800
00:56:14,039 --> 00:56:16,639
Skyler G:
her ex monster spot and the high
card draw that gives you.
1801
00:56:16,639 --> 00:56:17,719
Skyler G:
Okay, um.
1802
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,400
Skyler G:
Very high card draw.
1803
00:56:19,289 --> 00:56:21,710
Skyler G:
The big thing about all three of
my characters that people
1804
00:56:21,710 --> 00:56:25,530
Skyler G:
probably can pick up on is that
all three are versatile.
1805
00:56:25,530 --> 00:56:28,530
Skyler G:
They can go into high aggro
matchups and be aggro.
1806
00:56:28,530 --> 00:56:32,210
Skyler G:
Uh, or they can tank up and go
1807
00:56:32,210 --> 00:56:33,750
Skyler G:
for a little more of a tanky
1808
00:56:33,750 --> 00:56:35,510
Skyler G:
delay game if they're playing
1809
00:56:35,510 --> 00:56:36,010
Skyler G:
nice.
1810
00:56:36,010 --> 00:56:41,289
Skyler G:
Uh, and an aggro character, or
they can kind of switch up their
1811
00:56:41,289 --> 00:56:42,210
Skyler G:
strategy and stuff.
1812
00:56:42,210 --> 00:56:43,750
Skyler G:
Uh, headless is more just pure
1813
00:56:43,750 --> 00:56:46,349
Skyler G:
aggro, but all three of them
1814
00:56:46,349 --> 00:56:47,730
Skyler G:
have different elements to their
1815
00:56:47,730 --> 00:56:49,489
Skyler G:
boards that let you get card
1816
00:56:49,489 --> 00:56:49,690
Skyler G:
draw.
1817
00:56:49,690 --> 00:56:51,829
Skyler G:
They let you get, um,
1818
00:56:51,829 --> 00:56:53,849
Skyler G:
undefendable attacks that you do
1819
00:56:53,849 --> 00:56:54,690
Skyler G:
defendable attacks.
1820
00:56:54,690 --> 00:56:59,730
Skyler G:
They have ways to, uh, build up
and ramp up and stuff.
1821
00:56:59,730 --> 00:57:02,090
Skyler G:
So that's why I like all three
characters.
1822
00:57:02,090 --> 00:57:04,929
Skyler G:
Um, I could pick other, better
characters, but they're the ones
1823
00:57:04,929 --> 00:57:07,409
Skyler G:
I'm most comfortable with and
I've played a lot of games with.
1824
00:57:07,409 --> 00:57:09,409
Skyler G:
And that's the main reason to
play.
1825
00:57:09,409 --> 00:57:10,530
Skyler G:
Like the main reason for the
1826
00:57:10,530 --> 00:57:12,690
Skyler G:
picks and competitive is play
1827
00:57:12,690 --> 00:57:13,489
Skyler G:
the characters you're most
1828
00:57:13,489 --> 00:57:14,010
Skyler G:
comfortable with.
1829
00:57:14,010 --> 00:57:14,289
Skyler G:
Right.
1830
00:57:14,289 --> 00:57:16,130
Skyler G:
And these are the three I'm most
comfortable with.
1831
00:57:15,969 --> 00:57:17,780
Skyler G:
Absolutely, absolutely.
1832
00:57:17,780 --> 00:57:20,219
Skyler G:
And I think that's a great way
to, to close things out.
1833
00:57:20,219 --> 00:57:21,500
Skyler G:
And again, it's, it's a message
1834
00:57:21,500 --> 00:57:23,300
Skyler G:
that we keep saying, take what
1835
00:57:23,300 --> 00:57:25,280
Skyler G:
you're actually, you know,
1836
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:25,940
Skyler G:
comfortable with.
1837
00:57:25,940 --> 00:57:27,400
Skyler G:
And I, you know, I almost said,
1838
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:28,619
Skyler G:
take what you're actually good
1839
00:57:28,619 --> 00:57:29,179
Skyler G:
at.
1840
00:57:29,179 --> 00:57:31,300
Skyler G:
I did have fun teams.
1841
00:57:31,300 --> 00:57:32,099
Skyler G:
Yeah.
1842
00:57:31,940 --> 00:57:32,739
Skyler G:
Beating teams.
1843
00:57:32,739 --> 00:57:33,579
Skyler G:
Oh, that's.
1844
00:57:33,380 --> 00:57:34,699
Skyler G:
The third way to pick.
1845
00:57:34,699 --> 00:57:35,699
Skyler G:
Yeah. Okay.
1846
00:57:35,699 --> 00:57:37,099
Skyler G:
True competitive.
1847
00:57:36,940 --> 00:57:38,340
Skyler G:
I'm picking a.
1848
00:57:38,179 --> 00:57:39,019
Skyler G:
Theme.
1849
00:57:38,860 --> 00:57:39,460
Skyler G:
Team.
1850
00:57:39,300 --> 00:57:40,420
Skyler G:
Yeah. Okay.
1851
00:57:40,260 --> 00:57:41,460
Skyler G:
First theme.
1852
00:57:41,460 --> 00:57:42,579
Skyler G:
Toxic team.
1853
00:57:42,579 --> 00:57:44,099
Skyler G:
We got Ninja shadow thief.
1854
00:57:44,099 --> 00:57:44,900
Skyler G:
Alchemist.
1855
00:57:44,699 --> 00:57:46,659
Skyler G:
Okay. Poisoning, I like it.
1856
00:57:46,659 --> 00:57:47,780
Skyler G:
Okay. Very cool.
1857
00:57:47,659 --> 00:57:48,699
Skyler G:
Uh, next team.
1858
00:57:48,699 --> 00:57:51,659
Skyler G:
Team can't touch this monk.
1859
00:57:51,659 --> 00:57:53,539
Skyler G:
Ninja, black widow, all.
1860
00:57:53,340 --> 00:57:55,059
Skyler G:
three black widow.
1861
00:57:54,980 --> 00:58:00,780
Skyler G:
To dodge attacks and, uh, make
you sure, right.
1862
00:58:00,780 --> 00:58:02,300
Skyler G:
Okay.
1863
00:58:02,300 --> 00:58:04,099
Skyler G:
Uh, next team, fire and ice.
1864
00:58:04,099 --> 00:58:04,699
Skyler G:
Oh, I got.
1865
00:58:04,539 --> 00:58:07,219
Skyler G:
Got Jean grey, Iceman
pyromancer.
1866
00:58:07,059 --> 00:58:07,659
Skyler G:
Interesting.
1867
00:58:07,659 --> 00:58:11,940
Skyler G:
Jean grey is an interesting pick
in their fire.
1868
00:58:11,940 --> 00:58:13,900
Skyler G:
Is she more like a like a dark
phoenix?
1869
00:58:13,900 --> 00:58:15,539
Skyler G:
I guess so, oh, yeah, I guess
that's true.
1870
00:58:15,539 --> 00:58:17,300
Skyler G:
I was gonna say she's kind of
almost more energy.
1871
00:58:17,300 --> 00:58:17,900
Skyler G:
But yeah.
1872
00:58:18,139 --> 00:58:19,579
Skyler G:
Phoenix is like pure fire.
1873
00:58:19,460 --> 00:58:20,539
Skyler G:
Yeah, that's a fair point.
1874
00:58:20,539 --> 00:58:21,139
Skyler G:
Okay.
1875
00:58:21,099 --> 00:58:22,460
Skyler G:
Um. Strong defense.
1876
00:58:22,460 --> 00:58:24,659
Skyler G:
Okay. Uh, cursed pirate Raven.
1877
00:58:24,659 --> 00:58:25,980
Skyler G:
Is Thor okay?
1878
00:58:25,780 --> 00:58:27,019
Skyler G:
Yep. That makes sense.
1879
00:58:26,940 --> 00:58:28,739
Skyler G:
Uh, team aggro gambit.
1880
00:58:28,739 --> 00:58:29,139
Skyler G:
Iceman.
1881
00:58:29,139 --> 00:58:29,820
Skyler G:
Spider-Man.
1882
00:58:29,820 --> 00:58:30,500
Skyler G:
Okay.
1883
00:58:30,500 --> 00:58:31,699
Skyler G:
And then finally, the
1884
00:58:31,699 --> 00:58:33,860

Skyler G:
Okay. All right, fair enough.
1888
00:58:37,539 --> 00:58:39,420
Skyler G:

00:58:39,420 --> 00:58:40,500
Skyler G:

Skyler G:
Psylocke.
1893
00:58:45,739 --> 00:58:46,739
Skyler G:
Can you guess it?
1894
00:58:47,260 --> 00:58:47,980
Skyler G:
Um.
1895
00:58:48,219 --> 00:58:49,059
Skyler G:
X-Men.
1896
00:58:50,420 --> 00:58:51,059
Skyler G:
That was it.
1897
00:58:50,860 --> 00:58:51,539
Skyler G:
Yeah.
1898
00:58:51,739 --> 00:58:56,460
Skyler G:
Oh, I thought you were gonna do
like Cyclops Jean grey,
1899
00:58:56,460 --> 00:58:59,219
Skyler G:
Wolverine love triangle.
1900
00:58:59,059 --> 00:59:00,420
Skyler G:
No. Oh, that's actually a good
one.
1901
00:59:00,420 --> 00:59:05,900
Skyler G:
Or, uh, Wolverine gambit rogue
heavy accents.
1902
00:59:05,699 --> 00:59:06,539
Skyler G:
That's a good one.
1903
00:59:06,380 --> 00:59:07,579
Skyler G:
That's a pretty good one.
1904
00:59:07,579 --> 00:59:08,260
Skyler G:
Yeah.
1905
00:59:08,099 --> 00:59:12,219
Skyler G:
Um. Uh, Wolverine. Deadpool.
1906
00:59:15,389 --> 00:59:16,110
Skyler G:
That's it.
1907
00:59:16,110 --> 00:59:21,230
Skyler G:
Uh. Just Wolverine in Deadpool
because they're funny.
1908
00:59:21,230 --> 00:59:23,150
Skyler G:
Yes, because the comedy.
1909
00:59:23,150 --> 00:59:26,429
Skyler G:
Oh, and, uh, Ben Folds and Ben
Folds.
1910
00:59:26,429 --> 00:59:29,869
Skyler G:
Um, people we really like.
1911
00:59:29,869 --> 00:59:30,389
Skyler G:
X-Men.
1912
00:59:30,389 --> 00:59:32,389
Skyler G:
Absolutely no idea what we're
talking.
1913
00:59:32,389 --> 00:59:34,309
Skyler G:
Well, it's the easy one because
they're also partnered.
1914
00:59:34,309 --> 00:59:35,269
Skyler G:
Like, you want to go over to the
1915
00:59:35,269 --> 00:59:36,309
Skyler G:
Marvel side, but then you're
1916
00:59:36,309 --> 00:59:38,489
Skyler G:
like, you got like, you know,
1917
00:59:38,489 --> 00:59:42,570
Skyler G:
Loki, Thor, who's a brother,
1918
00:59:42,570 --> 00:59:44,710
Skyler G:
who's a famous brother, Miles
1919
00:59:44,710 --> 00:59:45,269
Skyler G:
Morales.
1920
00:59:45,269 --> 00:59:45,869
Skyler G:
He's a brother.
1921
00:59:45,869 --> 00:59:47,309
Skyler G:
Spider-Man.
1922
00:59:47,309 --> 00:59:49,550
Skyler G:
Interesting, interesting.
1923
00:59:49,550 --> 00:59:50,110
Skyler G:
He's a brother.
1924
00:59:50,110 --> 00:59:51,469
Skyler G:
He's a brother.
1925
00:59:51,469 --> 00:59:52,190
Skyler G:
Uh, okay.
1926
00:59:52,190 --> 00:59:52,829
Skyler G:
Fair enough.
1927
00:59:52,829 --> 00:59:54,190
Skyler G:
All right, all right.
1928
00:59:55,389 --> 00:59:58,349
Skyler G:
That's a fascinating I'm trying
to think, uh.
1929
00:59:58,349 --> 00:59:59,030
Skyler G:
Oh.
1930
00:59:59,030 --> 00:59:59,269
Skyler G:
Here.
1931
00:59:59,269 --> 01:00:01,150
Skyler G:
You could do, uh.
1932
01:00:01,150 --> 01:00:03,909
Skyler G:
Oh. Oh, no. I almost said okay.
1933
01:00:03,909 --> 01:00:05,590
Skyler G:
Uh, you could do, uh.
1934
01:00:07,710 --> 01:00:08,269
Skyler G:
Dang it.
1935
01:00:08,269 --> 01:00:09,710
Skyler G:
That's not gonna work.
1936
01:00:09,710 --> 01:00:10,670
Skyler G:
Oh, I lost it.
1937
01:00:10,670 --> 01:00:14,400
Skyler G:
I had to oh, here's what I was
going to say is you do Tree and
1938
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,079
Skyler G:
Pyromancer and Iceman.
1939
01:00:16,079 --> 01:00:17,320
Skyler G:
You could do like an elements
1940
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:18,880
Skyler G:
thing, but then you only got
1941
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:19,719
Skyler G:
three.
1942
01:00:19,719 --> 01:00:21,119
Skyler G:
I really wanted to do an earth,
1943
01:00:21,119 --> 01:00:22,719
Skyler G:
wind and fire bit, but there's
1944
01:00:22,719 --> 01:00:23,760
Skyler G:
no earth.
1945
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:27,440
Skyler G:
And I mean, here's the thing for
wind, no trans earth.
1946
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,840
Skyler G:
Well, when we get the storm, you
could do storm.
1947
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:33,480
Skyler G:
You could do technically rogue
because she's got flight.
1948
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:34,000
Skyler G:
Yeah.
1949
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,400
Skyler G:
I would say storm's probably a
better one.
1950
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:40,840
Skyler G:
I feel like we missed storm is I
feel like there's an infinite
1951
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,239
Skyler G:
possibilities when you throw
storm in there.
1952
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:44,800
Skyler G:
What?
1953
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:45,679
Skyler G:
I didn't think about that.
1954
01:00:45,679 --> 01:00:46,239
Skyler G:
Well, I don't know.
1955
01:00:46,239 --> 01:00:49,079
Skyler G:
Maybe it's just because she's
got the elemental element.
1956
01:00:49,079 --> 01:00:50,119
Skyler G:
Yeah, probably.
1957
01:00:50,119 --> 01:00:50,840
Skyler G:
Yeah, I don't know.
1958
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:53,239
Skyler G:
I feel like she could fit in
with a lot of trios.
1959
01:00:53,239 --> 01:00:53,440
Skyler G:
Yeah.
1960
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:54,360
Skyler G:
That's true.
1961
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:56,199
Skyler G:
So but that's the thing.
1962
01:00:56,199 --> 01:00:56,760
Skyler G:
This is true.
1963
01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:01,679
Skyler G:
This is probably the least the
least recommended way to pick a
1964
01:01:01,679 --> 01:01:02,920
Skyler G:
competitive ranked team.
1965
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:04,159
Skyler G:
But if you want to have some
fun.
1966
01:01:04,159 --> 01:01:07,079
Skyler G:
Yeah, I was gonna say, if you
want to have a ranked team with
1967
01:01:07,079 --> 01:01:09,960
Skyler G:
your friends, this is a great
way to do it.
1968
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:10,530
Skyler G:
There you go.
1969
01:01:10,530 --> 01:01:11,570
Skyler G:
So awesome.
1970
01:01:11,570 --> 01:01:14,610
Skyler G:
Well, with that being said, I
think we gone through not only
1971
01:01:14,610 --> 01:01:16,610
Skyler G:
my rank team helping fix that.
1972
01:01:16,610 --> 01:01:19,610
Skyler G:
Um, I'll be excited to take
maybe some of those suggestions
1973
01:01:19,610 --> 01:01:22,670
Skyler G:
to swap out for my third
character that were given to me
1974
01:01:22,670 --> 01:01:25,289
Skyler G:
and into the next tournament
that we go to.
1975
01:01:25,289 --> 01:01:27,289
Skyler G:
Uh, we looked at what makes a
1976
01:01:27,289 --> 01:01:28,570
Skyler G:
great team, what kind of things
1977
01:01:28,570 --> 01:01:30,909
Skyler G:
you should have or should lean
1978
01:01:30,909 --> 01:01:32,369
Skyler G:
towards at the very least, and
1979
01:01:32,369 --> 01:01:33,130
Skyler G:
why.
1980
01:01:33,130 --> 01:01:34,929
Skyler G:
And with that being said, I
1981
01:01:34,929 --> 01:01:35,969
Skyler G:
think we covered just about
1982
01:01:35,969 --> 01:01:37,610
Skyler G:
everything we need for at least
1983
01:01:37,610 --> 01:01:39,230
Skyler G:
a basic rundown, a pretty
1984
01:01:39,230 --> 01:01:41,489
Skyler G:
in-depth, honestly rundown of
1985
01:01:41,489 --> 01:01:42,929
Skyler G:
how to create your own ranked
1986
01:01:42,929 --> 01:01:43,449
Skyler G:
team.
1987
01:01:43,449 --> 01:01:46,090
Skyler G:
So with that being said, thank
you all for listening.
1988

1989
01:01:52,690 --> 01:01:55,130

Well, that's a wrap on another
episode.
1990
01:01:54,929 --> 01:01:55,769
Speaker 6:
You know what, Skyler?
1991
01:01:55,769 --> 01:01:57,650
Speaker 6:
But with the real face, there's
always more on the way.

Skyler G:
Wait, what?
2017
01:02:37,929 --> 01:02:40,369
Speaker 6:
Oh, and don't forget, we want to
keep the dice Stone community
2018
01:02:40,369 --> 01:02:42,690

2019

Speaker 6:
thrown social accounts to help
support this game we all love.
2020
01:02:45,650 --> 01:02:47,050
Skyler G:
Yeah. Good idea.
2021
01:02:47,050 --> 01:02:48,889
Skyler G:
Hey, can we circle back to the
Psylocke?
2022
01:02:48,889 --> 01:02:51,710
Speaker 6:
You're right Schuyler, the best
way to grow the community is to
2023
01:02:51,710 --> 01:02:53,730
Speaker 6:
support the original creators.
2024
01:02:53,530 --> 01:02:54,849

Speaker 6:
This has been.
2027
01:02:57,329 --> 01:02:58,369
Speaker 6:
You're supposed to say it.
2028
01:02:58,369 --> 01:02:59,170
