It's TIMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

In the blue corner, we have the challenger: a gunner who has crafted his own custom ammunition, Rukyuk WOL Amberdeen.

In the red corner, we have our defending champion: the clockwork knight who trudges everforward, POISON Cadenza MUSHROOM.





We will be using Special Actions and the updated start spaces for this match. Please touch gloves and head to your corners.

Fighters: Send me your starting discards and Finishers.

AP Shell against Clockwork. :getin:
Cadenza's met his match.

Whoops, accidentally haiku'd. :cheeky:

So can Rukyuk only hit 6 times (+ maybe a finisher?) per game?

It's worth noting that he's not necessarily on a Six Turns, 1 Reload schedule because he can spend extras on more than a few of his styles- but if Reload gets clashed or worse, Cancel'd at an inappropriate time it can be crippling.

It's also worth noting that AP Shell merely lets him trade positively into the monstrosity that is Clockwork Shot. Arguably more important is Flash Shell, for forcing out Iron Body tokens on Ante, possibly as part of a bluff.

The other things that stick out to me on this match- Cadenza's mobility isn't actually that bad, but he has no way to resist movement effects or stop them- of which Rukyuk has two significant knockbacks. Other than that- Rukyuk is honestly kind of slow. I can see Cadenza on the play with a couple of pairs he really likes, like Hydraulic Drive, which means fewer chances to force Iron Body out. It does potentially mess with Press attempts, though!

keep yr head up, problem girl
Rukyuk is one of those characters that seems really hard to do well with. Between four(!) minimum range styles and some bad priority, Ruk has a hard time getting his hits to confirm. Longshot Shell can keep him viable in melee with Trick and Gunner style, but he's GOT to keep the movement game under control, or he's gonna get his lunch eaten.

It is worth mentioning that Stun Immunity lets me ignore Flash Shell, but Stun Guard Infinite does not.

Edit This is also one of those few games where it is a huge deal who antes first.

Rukyuk: Would you like to spend an ammo token for a range of 2-6, hitting Cadenza, or remain and 3-5, missing? If so, which token? If you do decide to hit, where would you like to move?

Also, if you gals don't care, I'll probably dwindle into very low quality presentation. Sourcing all of the images will take a lot of time down the road.

Lest is the consequences of failure.

"Do not forget to study, lest your GPA slip below a 3.2."

"Do not fail to kill the demon of legend, lest you get a game over after not saving for three hours."

"Do not correct people's grammar online, lest you look like an absolute tool."
