Eijiro Kirishima

[nova ore]

And if you have a leveling order it's even better, I like his movement but I wanna learn more

[somber basin]

@sturdy owl is the best to ask for tuning

[somber basin]

As for level path it entirely depends on how u play

Me personally i abuse the size and damage his beta slam has and his gamma rocks are perfect for a "get off me" tool or just to hit airborn opponents
His alpha is the majority of his combos and an easy one is alpha alpha gamma

otherwise a pretty ballanced kit

Plus the shield is soo good to just block and counter almost any character

[nova ore]

Yeah his moves are great, I love sniping air escapes

I notice he has a double yellow on his casual style which is probably super strong but I don't have it 😢

[sturdy owl]

LET'S GO HE'S GONNA MAKE A COMEBACK!

[sturdy owl]

anyways I can help with tunings!!!! what costumes you got, and are you interested in buying recolours?

[cosmic cedar]

it's funny to me the Strike version of Kiri is the one with a shield

[sturdy owl]

assault kiri's shield is his entire body. he's unbreakable. you CANNOT kill him!!!
(sitting at 50hp and still fighting)

[nova ore]

Yup! I'm okay with buying whatever color.

My costumes are Unbreakable (which I already have max aura when I pulled for Red Kiri, I got super unlucky)
Kung-Fu
And his black haired old uniform

[sturdy owl]

omg I got 4 unbreakable auras rolling for red drive why is it so common-

[nova ore]

They did my boy dirty too, the costume is pretty ugly imo 😢

[sturdy owl]

anyways lots of good options there! lemme get my computer turned on then I can look closer

[nova ore]

Thanks a ton

[sturdy owl]

tbh I love it because I love his canon unbreakable design, and once you're actually in-game and moving it really isn't so bad, but yeah those textures are crunchy it looks so bad if he's standing still hsgshsgsh

[sturdy owl]

absolutely happy to help!!! I love making tuning builds, have 4.5 finished kiri builds myself

in the meantime, what's your red drive gameplay look like so far? are you up close and aggro or keeping your distance and being more tactical?

[cosmic cedar]

the most awkward thing is that his mouth stays shut

[sturdy owl]

YEAH SHOW ME THEM SHARK TEEF

[nova ore]

I'm mostly getting up close and personal, but I'm not against making adjustements if needed, I'm still learning

[sturdy owl]

tbh I ask cause it'l affect which builds I reccomend for you - personally I'm very close range and aggro and I LOVE IT

[nova ore]

I've played quite a bit of Red Shoto and Kendo and I usually fish for combos (maybe too much haha)

[sturdy owl]

red drive can do a lot of different stuff depending on what you like tbh my gameplay changes based on what build I'm using

[sturdy owl]

me when I have a melee build on, DESPERATE to alpha into melee

[nova ore]

Yeah that's the first thing that came to mind honestly x)

I know those are dirty strong

[sturdy owl]

my favourite is on default unbreakable
perception/embrittlement
it doesn't do anything unless you land a melee, but OH BOY WHEN YOU DO!

[nova ore]

Ohh, pretty smart indeed

Never seen a perception build yet

[sturdy owl]

tbh I think perception is slept on because it doesn't strictly HELP YOU in the way that sisterly or embrit would, and tbf a lot of characters would rather have permanent wallrunner

but not only is tracking just wonderful for focusing someone and great for tracking a downed player to avoid losing them

[nova ore]

Yeah honestly that sounds pretty cool

[sturdy owl]

if you're already running embrit, it turns perception into a MARK OF DEATH

because you and your team can all see this bright red target currently taking extra damage

[nova ore]

That sounds pretty cool ngl

In premade especially

[sturdy owl]

it is so fun and I absolutely adore it. the only downside is the fact that both slots are duds if you can't get in close enough for a melee but ngl it's so worth it for the insane rewards for landing a melee

tho there are also plenty of other good options if you want smthn more balanced or defensive

[nova ore]

I'm listening, but you've caught my interest with this one at least

[sturdy owl]

tbh I am a dopamine guy who wants the touch of death build but also I've been running the luxury of a full vampire build so ik both sides are valuable

but also... touch of death my beloved

[nova ore]

I'm not that big of a vampire build guy honestly

But I've never tried it x)

[sturdy owl]

tbh it's mostly a no brain keep on fighting build for me, it's genuinely boring because you don't like. DO anything. but it's just solid to have running in the background - tho I mostly did it for assault kiri ngl

[nova ore]

Yeah, I'm more of a gimmick guy I guess?

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY ME TOO

[nova ore]

I like the novelty/thought behind a build

[sturdy owl]

I love me my SSR/sisterlt build

[nova ore]

SSR?

[sturdy owl]

is it consistent? not really no. is speedy self revive a dud 9 times out of 10? yes. BUT BOY IS IT FUNNY WHEN YOU STAND UP IN FRONT OF SOMEONE WHO THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE FOR

[nova ore]

Oh Speed Self Revive

Yeah I've been punished once

[sturdy owl]

OKAY I'm on desktop now so lemme highlight quick build ideas just in case any are more interesting to you, but otherwise I can give my ideal build for perception/embrit

[nova ore]

Thanks!

[sturdy owl]

• unbreakable combat can run HSP/sisterly for a real tanky build, or hp sucker/sisterly to make sure you stay rewarded mid-fight (old school villain also does this)
• unbreakable fancy runs sisterly/embrit and SSR if you wanna be REALLY funny
• kung fu default hp sucker/SSR, similar vibes
• old uniform heat could be perception/sisterly, for a similar double melee reward
• old uniform dangerous is also a vampire build, for braindead KO rewards

solid options but
NOTHING HITS LIKE PERCEPTION/EMBRIT!

anyways here's two possible ideal builds for that perception/embrit build, just slight variations based on if you'd prefer beta reload stacking or gamma reload stacking

[nova ore]

Yeah you've sold me on perception embrit

[sturdy owl]

I would personally prioritize gamma reload since that GETS to reload more often and will see more use, but let me compare the numbers

[nova ore]

Yeah I think I'll go for Gamma reload too

Beta's reload is already pretty fast imo

[sturdy owl]

beta reload stacking, stats at level 9

• beta is 7.5 normal 6.5 penalty
• gamma is 3.9 normal, 5.4 penalty
  gamma reload stacking instead
• beta is 7.8 normal, 6.9 penalty
• gamma is 3.7 normal, 5.1 penalty

so yeah gamma is def worth because it can actually reload one at a time, unlike beta which always has to do a full bar reload

[sturdy owl]

that too it can handle itself fine

oh ALSO since you're gonna be running a melee heavy build, I'd reccomend a level path where you try to hit level 4 on everything asap so that you can boost all your reloads and give you more tools in the middle of a battle

personally if I'm not in a fight I hoard my level cards to see how many red cards I get to maximize how many skills I can get to level 4

but you don't really need to worry about alpha getting past 4 because the damage isn't the important part

[nova ore]

I do the same haha

[sturdy owl]

also do you know alpha into melee? cause that is the CORE of this build

here lemme grab some clips

[nova ore]

Yup

I'm not consistent yet

[sturdy owl]

tbh idek how to make this consistent, it seems so unpredictable, I just throw out some melees and see if anything lands

embrit just upgrades your moves so much lmao

okay last one I just love this clip

[nova ore]

That feels so good haha

[sturdy owl]

OH WAIT NO I HAVE ONE MORE AWESOME CLIP

[nova ore]

Please share

Love em

[sturdy owl]

people might try to tell you to replace the third hit of your melee with a gamma or something
it does more damage, of course. I see where they're coming from
but if you're still throwing hands you might find something like this

[nova ore]

I don't get it?

Except that your gameplay is very smooth and I like it

[sturdy owl]

deku swept in to use his SpA to save shoto, but my melee tracking turned me around to land the final combo hit on him which both made him drop shoto (letting my team confirm the kill) AND got him tracked so that it was impossible for him to run away

[nova ore]

Wait that's what happened???

Lol

[sturdy owl]

YEAH LMAO DEKU PICKED HIM UP AND GOT PUNISHED

I haven't actually seen it happen yet but this build also stands to be kurogiri counterplay

[nova ore]

Truuuuuue

[sturdy owl]

if you down somoene who's tracked and then kurogiri teleports them outta there, you know where he's hiding

tbh in general that build is just such a riot. I love it so much. gotta run it more

[nova ore]

I can't wait for it to happen x)

[sturdy owl]

YES it's gonna be phenomenal

[novel cipher]

I remember this

Absolute cinema

[sturdy owl]

I feel like my kiri gameplay so often features notions of "I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HAPPENED-" because I just unlock

[novel cipher]

That's the Kiri experience lmao

Me as assault kiri coming out of a 1v3 alive

(totally accurate guys trust)

[sturdy owl]

you'll get there trust

[empty sapphire]

so as far as vampire builds for damage i personally go with this costume it gives 140 dmg rocks if gaurd is broken it does 170 and 200 if you have 2 red teamates

[sturdy owl]

all the vampires have different niches tbh

[empty sapphire]

I just like the ridiculous damage lol

[sturdy owl]

I run undefeatable heat which is heavy on the defense but still triple stacks gamma damage, tho it's mostly assault kiri oriented with those stats and pulls a nasty 230 level 9 gamma lmao

also I don't have happi </3

iirc the fantasy vampire build is heavy on reload speed instead

[empty sapphire]

I think in terms of highest damage it's prob the default old uniform that has highest dmg

but the tuning on it are poopoo

[sturdy owl]

yeahhh sometimes prioritizing for specials is worth it

like that happi isn't full vampire it's only half, tho gp sucker is def the better of the two to have

and rn while they're bugged full vampire builds are NUTS lmao

[empty sapphire]

yea this one does decent damage and is full vampire

[sturdy owl]

like when I get a down I get, I think... 190gp and 220hp?

[sturdy owl]

yeah it's only got one more red slot than undefeatable heat, and I decided I wanted the extra defense

[novel cipher]

I got so confused here bc I forgot this website puts special tuning at the bottom

[sturdy owl]

this is mine (I have added gp sucker since this screencap)

I could probably replace kendo with asschaco but tbh the melee defense might be nice lmao

[novel cipher]

Replace Mt. Lady, they're both beta defense anyway

[empty sapphire]

I used to run this before hapi

[sturdy owl]

I can def replace mt lady, I'm just considering if I'd rather have melee defense OR stack beta defense

[empty sapphire]

sisterly+embrit

[sturdy owl]

all my tuning builds are here

[sturdy owl]

my beast red drive build is perception/embrit which is less defensive but makes it so that the person taking extra damage now has a spotlight on them lmao

[nova spindle]

im getting HAWKS

[sturdy owl]

LET'S GO

[nova spindle]

MAYBE

[sturdy owl]

LET'S MAYBE GO

[half igloo]

Why the clown react

[nova ore]

@sturdy owl Thanks for the help yesterday, I’ve been having much more success and much more fun, I’ll definitely stick to Red Kiri in the long term.

[sturdy owl]

I'm so glad I could help!!! I've found red drive to be so much fun, happy to hear you're enjoying the new build

[robust orbit]

Yo

[sturdy owl]

https://tenor.com/view/fight-ready-fist-pump-kirishima-gif-21341601

yo!

[mighty star]

i’m coming for all of uou

[somber basin]

Are you sure about that?
All of us?

https://tenor.com/view/serious-kirishima-mha-bnha-gif-19438288

[mighty star]

yes

[somber basin]

At once?

You didnt say 1 on 1 so i assume ur saying all of us at once

[mighty star]

no im hunting all of you until the character is extinct and this channel doesn’t exist

[somber basin]

Nice try with that buddy

Us manly people stay unbreakable!

[sturdy owl]

I already brought assault kiri back from the brink of extinction once, and I'll do it again

[somber basin]

Which kiri?
assault or strike?

With strike kiri melee to get a good combo you have to approch a bit with alpha, run into someone, let it go so he does the slash, then spam melee and the tracking does the rest for you

Its kinda iffy on certain hills but it works a lot of the time

[somber basin]

yes hit with the roll

[somber basin]

np!

[rustic kestrel]

I seen on a youtube video, a comment saying "without making red drive op, they should buff it when used with a armour attack". Which I agree because when you have his special action active and you used any of yellow kiri's ability it negates the armour.
So basically it's just better not using it and using the armour because of how easy it is to knockdown kiri when he's in hardening mode.

[robust orbit]

Yeah thats never gonna happen

To be honest

I dont think that'll happen to any character or channel

No matter how hard I try

Kendo still remains

I'm starting to give up

[tired wraith]

I like to think the endeavor or cemetoss channel is near that point.

[robust orbit]

They'll survive

[tired wraith]

I wish endeavor wouldn't

As an Overhaul I hate that guy

[frigid spire]

you cannot stop me

https://tenor.com/view/anime-kendo-kendoitsuka-itsuka-neito-gif-13084454

[nova spindle]

ill stop kendo guys dw

[robust orbit]

What are you doing in this channel kendo main

[nova spindle]

her shield can only take so many punches

[half igloo]

Yea they're kinda dedicated

[robust orbit]

Unfortunately

[mighty star]

kendo is not free lunch for tech shoto

what are you doing to Kendo when she pulls out her shield 😭 it invalidates everything your kit has

[ruby shore]

Kendo destroys tech todo

Wdym she's free

[mighty star]

literally what I said 😭 he isn’t destroying ANYTHING unless he third parties while shes a one shot

[tired wraith]

I can't think of a character that outright counters Kendo's playstyle tbh

[frigid spire]

literally any beamer

[ruby shore]

What about the rock man

Cementoss

[wide elk]

put up shield u bot

[robust orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/gear-5-luffy-luffy-gif-7250294780388192881

[sturdy owl]

YO LET'S GO!!!!!

I'm gonna try and hit expert tomorrow I think

I have been kidnapped into ranked plans

[severe cloud]

oh heck yeah

get itt

[sturdy owl]

Taco basically told me "you're getting expert" and is going to drag me onto a team with her and Gainz tomorrow akshdsakjhd

[severe cloud]

yo lets goo?!

u should totally stream that if ur feeling up to it

promise I wont stream snipe

maybe

[sturdy owl]

funny enough it'll be Gainz's stream so I don't need to!

[severe cloud]

good to know xD

[sturdy owl]

I def should stream sometime aksjhdkajshd

but if someone's already streaming then I'll sit back and be stream guest

[severe cloud]

understandable

[sturdy owl]

I actually have, I'm gonna post my red drive clip comp tomorrow

then I have a game I played with Aether that I need to edit and post

[severe cloud]

lets goooo

[sturdy owl]

I'm a youtuber I SWEAR-

[severe cloud]

XD

[sturdy owl]

sneak peak of tomorrow's video, I don't have a thumbnail yet but it'll be titled "medal can't stop dropping frames"

[severe cloud]

😂

u should join the hawks chat rq

[novel cipher]

I could help ;p

[sturdy owl]

I've already been kidnapped into a three stack BUT if I don't manage to hit expert then I will let you know!!

[novel cipher]

Oh yeah with taco and Gainz right

[severe cloud]

help by teaming with me and stream sniping assisting them

what time will yall be on btw?

[novel cipher]

I mean me joining anyone depends on when 😭 I'll be on in about 8 hours from now

[severe cloud]

that would be 6am

so i will not be online then xD

[sturdy owl]

I do not know I just told Taco when I wake up tomorrow and she was like "okay great, Gainz how do you feel about-"

(I finally get to play kiri with Gainz I am so excited)

[severe cloud]

sounds about right

[sturdy owl]

tbh being a guest on someone ELSE'S stream will also be great

[severe cloud]

"aight" - standard taco answer xD

[sturdy owl]

LMAO

[half igloo]

Mirio n ochaco really

[frigid spire]

1v1 my kendo

no tunes

[frigid spire]

just because mirio can alpha through her shield does not make him a counter to kendo

that matchup is free asl for kendo if the mirio is trying to engage head-on

this is the wrong channel for all of that though so we can talk more in the actual kendo thread

[half igloo]

Why? can kendo roll out her shield?

[frigid spire]

i'm NA but we can try on your servers

[frigid spire]

would be terrible if she couldn't

red kiri can as well

[half igloo]

I know he can that's why I had to ask, though mirio can avoid all of Kendos dmg it's really a fight of who's more patient ig

[frigid spire]

you can choose any character in training mode

gimme the team ID

[frigid spire]

in a pure 1v1 kendo does not lose anything by just waiting for the mirio to do something

unless you wanna count mirio running the entire time as a fight because it's going to be that or him being decimated instantly for pressing beta

it's a stalemate matchup that's in kendo's favor the second mirio tries to push her because 99% of the time its going to be the other way around

[half igloo]

I guess that's true but that's lame

[frigid spire]

this is mirio we're talkin about dawg

unless you'd rather fight me to prove the same thing

[half igloo]

Why wld I do that I agree

[frigid spire]

we can do levels 4 4 4 if you want

i have my tunings off so this is just raw kendo

we'll do a first to 5, rounds start after you confirm my ping

ready?

ping diff

5-3 with the ping heavily in your favor

sure

i'll give you a code

45867

sure

i think that's another 5-3?

its a shame the connection makes it so bleh to prove a point but the only time this MU can be a pain is when i need to approach

i mean i could literally just be walking up to you with shield the whole time and win that way but that's the boring way of going about it

1 more then

well in that case you deliberately chose to approach me

so we traded

ggs

its hard to even call any of this a gap since the ping difference is so vast

if we were both NA or JP it'd be different

yeah

the whole thing doesn't reflect how an actual fight would go exactly but yk how it is

cuz a lot of kendos are buns!!

or they don't play kendo in the way that makes her a threat

other than just clap clap clap

mhm

clap is still really good though so its not easy to get a great punish on it unless you're on a beamer

i play wall runner i'm vaulting over that thing to get you

i wouldn't say she destroys him completely but she's one of the few characters in the game that has at least 1 answer to everything he does

(shield)

which already gives her an upper hand

which kiri

in this case i wouldn't say being able to block = winning the matchup because they can both block each other's kit

so when you look past that

red kiri mobility > kendo mobility

red kiri can commit less to whatever he does due to his cancels

if it gets to that point yea

i'd say its even or a 4.5/5.5 for kendo

slightly in kiri's favor everywhere but maybe close range

but there are some evil kiris lurking in the shadows (not here) that make even the close range difficult

[hardy tendon]

Anyone wanna play

Do you have red drive

[mighty star]

the beta takes both

the beta tanks both the beta explosion AND the alpha ice

?

yea but why would I ever be so close that you’re on the other side of my shield 😭

[somber basin]

Why are we having this argument in the Kiri tab?

https://tenor.com/view/kirishima-gif-24061480

But it is super rewarding if u do get it off

Rock has fun with embrit/ perception and it pays off when he lands it

Which kiri is this?

Yeah red kiri does play a lot of mid range but his alpha melee combo could get u in close

Yeah thats understandable

Yeah the characters with free melee combos are so obnoxious

And Aizawa with ToDs

but lets get back to kiri
How do you play red drive?

Ik all of red drives combos i just never use them 😅
asside from alpha alpha gamma

It really is

especially in a real match where theres so many people who can interrupt it

I have a clip of me just gamma spamming a shinso in the air 😂

I hit him with 5 gammas and he tried to alpha me to the ground to get me offhim but my rock hit him to cancel it 😂

I even broke his gp 2 times

It more stuns but timing it right they cant do anything

Its so funny to see them get locked in storm because of it

Omg yes! That shi is nuts

I have soo many gamma snipes and gamma wall bounces its incredible

honestly red drive is just such a fun character to play

I have every skill set asside from the 2 assault ones and red drive is the one i play most

assault kiri wrecks people if u can catch proper wake ups

U just kinda gotta play super aggressive with him
And with his 400hp he can tank a lot

I played assault kiri a few weeks ago and was giving a red dabi and catastrophe shiggy a run for their money

Both were on the same team

Hes fun if i can get decent levels and play around corners

I dont play him often but when i do it feels so good to just punch someone

Yeah 😥

I wish hardening wasnt broken by practically everything

He does

Devs please 🙏 😭

[rotund ivy]

ik almight had/has this when he gammas and he still blocks things when its done for a moment; does kiri shield block for a moment after its gone?

[somber basin]

I think it stops blocking as soon as the visible shield goes away

Same with starting it up it only blocks if the visible shield is there

[nova ore]

You should, it's really game changer honestly

Beta, one click Alpha then Gamma, even if the Alpha doesn't land it cancels the Beta lag and Gamma has armor so it's very reliable

[somber basin]

My problem is the fact that a lot of his combos are for 1v1s and in a real game where i usually have 2 different teams focusing me i cant focus enough to land them

(Im focused and hard chased for some odd reason 😒)

[nova ore]

Same

Idk why people love to focus Kiri

[somber basin]

Its not even just kiri

Its me as a player

No matter what character i play im always focused, teamed on, emoted, and te bagged mid fight

[robust orbit]

Same here

Maybe they notice your name

[somber basin]

I was in the top 230 on billboard for NA in s7

[robust orbit]

Threat probably and they want easy kills so they consider kirishimas a ez kill

[somber basin]

And played every day till recently

[robust orbit]

Ppl check battle records alot its actually nuts

[somber basin]

I think people just recognize me as a good player so they want to get me out first but i thought it would drop with crossplay but it just made it worse

[robust orbit]

Absolutely

[somber basin]

Its just killing my drive to continue playing this game

[robust orbit]

My drive died for this game along time ago

But somehow im still here

But I suggest you take a break next season

Your not missing everything and everyone will be here when u get back

[somber basin]

Yeah Rock gifted me minecraft a few days ago so ive been playing that instead

Hes honestly the best guy ive ever meet

(i even tried to decline it but he wasnt taking no for an answer lmao)

[sturdy owl]

you WILL play minecraft!!!!!!!

[sturdy owl]

jsgshsgshsgs I'm seriously so glad I met you, you're the best I'm happy to be here!!

[frozen forum]

She does not destroy him

Does the shield block everything? Yes

but he can still fight her despite that

[errant turtle]

How do I use red kiri

[somber basin]

It deepends on ur playstyle
How do u like to play? What characters do u play?
asking for an idea to think of a level path and battle fighting style

[errant turtle]

Hmmm

I play rapid bakugo, compress, froppy, and on rare occasions strike Dabi and assault ochaco

I’m just trying to use strike kiri more

I know he’s good

[somber basin]

Ok those are pretty aggressive characters is that ur playstyle or do u play them differently?
Like range, close, defensive, ect.

[errant turtle]

With compress I like to play a bit far away when my alpha is high level

I aim to make the marbles go farther

[errant turtle]

I’d say I use the rest pretty aggressively though

[somber basin]

I play red kiri very aggressive/defensive, i like to keep a decent distance from my opponent and spam them back with beta and gammas

But if they get close i catch them in an alpha alpha gamma combo and it usually scares them away

Im quick to just jump into a fight and use his special to power through attacks and hold shield when needed but otherwise its just catching wake ups

Red kiris beta shield is great for when others try to 3rd party me and it helps keep track of multiple opponents

But for u id say a similar style fits how u play

I level gamma to 4 for an extra rock, then beta to max because the giant area hits a lot of people at once and does devastating damage with the right tuning (im still working on my proper one)

alpha is kinda a last resort for me as i mostly just use it for movement

learning his alpha beta movement tho is important because it helps him chase so much easier

[mighty star]

and run

[somber basin]

That to yes

If im getting low and my team is healing me i usually hold beta till it gets off

[errant turtle]

Gotcha

[errant turtle]

I can’t do any of the combos it sucks

What about his special?

Lots of games I go without using it once because I don’t know when to

[somber basin]

Fair his combos can be tricky which is why i only really use one

[somber basin]

His special i usually pop it right before charging into a fight, after knocking someone back with beta, or picking up a teammate

[robust orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/street-fighter-capcom-stare-gif-14354100

Most kirishima fights start like this

[sturdy owl]

real and true

[nova ore]

You can go in training mode and use the GP recovery and HP recovery options to train your combos there, once you feel confident you can start trying to use them in real matches (you WILL mess up at first) and it should become easy with a bit of time.

[nova spindle]

If I lock in this weekend I could maybe get level 60

Bc of the easy ahh seasonal quests

Holy smokes

[sturdy owl]

I literally went from like 65-69 today just from a bunch of seasonals

they are so choice

[shadow lynx]

who's the best strike kiri

[nova ore]

I was looking for good strike kiri to watch too

[nova spindle]

I NEED THE ROLL TICKETS

[shadow lynx]

watch? as in lobbies or videos

[nova ore]

Videos

To compare playstyle

[shadow lynx]

i play on switch so its kinda hard me to share videos

[shadow lynx]

personally i try max out alpha first

[nova ore]

Interesting, it’s always my last level up!

[shadow lynx]

i got for alpha gamma and then max out beta last

i try go for 4 alpha 4 gamma 4 beta then i try max out alpha and gamma roughly the same time and i max beta last

i max out alpha because its so useful to do the just alpha combo because in some fights they just roll making near impossible to hit them with a beta

and my aim is getting better for my gamma so i can hit it more often

[nova ore]

I max Gamma first cause I like the rock

I also use a lot of Alpha combo but since I always end it with a rock, leveling it up also ups the overall combo damage

[shadow lynx]

yeah i max gamma and alpha almost similtaneous

[shadow lynx]

i havent tried the alpha gamma combo

i usually alpha combo them and then walk abit away and try to predict wakeups

[frigid spire]

no glaze it’s funnyman but he aint here anymore

gigadrill and SCAR are up there too

uhhhhhh

yeah thats it

not really anything to view though gameplaywise

i could maybe find some stuff

[robust orbit]

Me

Good question though

I wonder who is

[long elbow]

can i be the 4th best

[late locust]

you are 6th

[long elbow]

still top 10

[crimson meadow]

Can I get an honorable mention

[long elbow]

ibara player

[keen herald]

[sturdy owl]

I LOVE killing asschaco with red drive. deserved. she had it coming

[somber basin]

honestly they need to be exterminated
Bring back the hawks hunting but for assault Ochako

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY I will literally die to bring down an assault ochaco with me. for the greater good

[somber basin]

Fr they are a pest

[sage terrace]

I need some survival tips as a Strike Kirishima

how to survive against someone who just alpha you down

[robust orbit]

If you know the alpha beta tech u can fly over there too them

If not move around with alpha as much as possible and do not spam beta

Never spam beta unless they are low

[sturdy owl]

using alpha to strafe around your enemies is very underrated

it increases your speed and I think it gives you a weird hitbox cause I dodge the wackiest stuff when using it

[frozen forum]

just alpha glide away and turn the shield around to face the people shooting you

your momentum stays

[robust orbit]

Imagine the longer u stay in your alpha the faster you go

[sturdy owl]

that would be so sick omg

[tired wraith]

I want them to rework assault kiris alpha so he can climb up walls fast too 🥀

https://tenor.com/view/kirishima-my-hero-academia-climbing-climb-gif-27196255

He can do it!

[half igloo]

This'll be a scary sight ngl

[rustic kestrel]

Alright I'm giving in fellow yellow kiri's. I'm going to start using red kiri

[sturdy owl]

tbh I feel like red drive is copium for assault kiri mains, like. I love assault kiri as much as ever and I actively enjoy him more than red drive - but oh my god I need to have some range once in a while

[somber basin]

honestly yeah

yellow kiri is fun but having a solid option of range and mobility is a good break

[robust orbit]

I switch between the two i do it like this

Yellow to have fun

Red to lock in

[nova ore]

I tried to make Yellow kiri work in season 1

Maybe a bit into season 2 as well

But it's not worth it

It's too much work, if you're not an above average player, it's meaningless

[sturdy owl]

this is exactly it, yellow is when I wanna wreck shop and ruin days and have a GREAT TIME!
red is when I'm tired and can't quite lock in hard enough to make yellow kiri really work, or when this game is making me upset and I need some retribution

[sturdy owl]

I started playing at the end of s7 and literally never bothered learning anyone other than assault kiri until I got red drive at the start of s10. I can confirm that assault kiri is for insane people /pos

[nova ore]

Yeah you're just built different

I don't have the guts

I'm not manly enough

[sturdy owl]

assault kiri is both the manliest character in this entire game and absolute dogwater if you don't know what you're doing with him

I will be the first guy to call him a bottom two character because his kit is only better than tech dabi's

I know in my hands he's insane and can pull off winning crazy 1v3s and stuff

but that's because I am a maniac

[robust orbit]

True words

[robust orbit]

Is that so

https://tenor.com/view/dragon-ball-dragon-ball-z-broly-anime-que-gif-12194872

[sturdy owl]

I've yet to meet a sane assault kiri main (we are all on the same wavelength)

[robust orbit]

Man that tech denki assault kiri build go's nuts

Legit got 6 7 kos doing it

We gotta gate keep this

[knotty grove]

I'll show how nuts it can be. https://medal.tv/games/my-hero-ultra-rumble/clips/kj7rTOS72ixHNI6Ti?invite=cr-MSx1MnMsNDAwMjI5NDIz

[robust orbit]

I used it yesterday its the best thing ever

[knotty grove]

I've been using it since after the tournament.

But it works like a charm ^^

Made my Kiri even more scary

[robust orbit]

Tournament?

You were in that?

[sturdy owl]

yeah! Flutter and I were the assault kiri reps in there

still love that sm

[knotty grove]

Yup I was with Bunny Royalty

[sturdy owl]

I was on Team Lemonade and we celebrated when we pulled 6 points LMAO

[tired wraith]

Best participation trophy ever fr

[robust orbit]

How interesting i didn't have a pc so I couldn't be there

https://tenor.com/view/batman-thinking-chin-scratch-hmm-think-gif-9438567

[tired wraith]

Rock was the best assault kiri there. Because he was the ONLY assault Kiri there-

[sturdy owl]

LMAO

best assault kiri in my bracket guaranteed!

[rustic kestrel]

Red kiri is so much superior his attacks do a lot of dmg at lvl 1

[sturdy owl]

ironically me and Flutter organically ran into each other in-game like, the next week??? but it was too chaotix we didn't properly fighr

[rustic kestrel]

Im sooo trash at him rn tho

[knotty grove]

I think we got 7 points but Zol and them DEMOLISHED US

[sturdy owl]

yeah no competition was TOUGH

we only got placement points not a single KO

tho it was great knowing Flutter was in another bracket, she prevented me being the ONLY assault kiri

[knotty grove]

I really wanted a proper manly fight too.. ;;

[tired wraith]

The next tournament is gonna be utter chaos if they do crossplay

😭😭

[sturdy owl]

I was SO EXCITED but literal chaos on all sides

[knotty grove]

The extra point was from me getting a ko was beyond happy regardless

[sturdy owl]

oh that's AWESOME

tbh I pulled off one hilarious clip when a hawks kept tryna walk into a building I was in and I was like buddy I'm just gonna beta you

[tired wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/armed-and-dangerous-winter-soldier-marvel-marvel-rivals-marvelrivals-gif-8838606042326037626

[knotty grove]

Can't let another kiri main walk alone. I was hoping to fight you in the tournament but a week delay was fine :3

[rustic kestrel]

this is how I feel everytime I uses red kiris beta

[knotty grove]

Though nowadays, my electric Kiri makes me more terrifying XD

[tired wraith]

Oh your kiri is electric type?

I had to retire my ground type one 🥀🥀

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY running into each other at all was delightful, I got so excited in the lobby "WAIT GUYS THAT'S FLUTTER-"

and funny enough I personally don't like electric assault kiri at all? like, ik it's objectively good! I reccomend it when giving people tuning builds! but for some reason whenever I use it I just DON'T CARE and idk why. it doesn't give me any dopamine

tbh I think it's actually prolly cause I am too obsessed with being hilarious. like I only enjoy electrification when someone makes the mistake of attacking me while I'm electrified and dooming themselves. HILARIOUS. but using it smartly by myself? strangely boring

someday I'll do the double jump boost build and never stop laughing

[knotty grove]

Alolan Golem yes as I like to call it

[mighty star]

I can confirm electrification Kiri is not fun to go against

I then died 💔

[tired wraith]

The slowdown to the impending doom is great

[sturdy owl]

I seriously love it when Neon edits a video to complement the tragedy taking place

[sturdy owl]

btw NeonMoonlight goes hard

[knotty grove]

I was smiling, "Oh it's Rock Eater! Yay we get to do battle!"

[mighty star]

when the fixation gets to a point

[sturdy owl]

monster prom definitely doesn't define my life so I CAN'T relate I do not base my entire personality around a fat slime man!

[tired wraith]

Me committing to a bit be like:

[sturdy owl]

IT WAS SO HYPE literally I'm always beaming when I see another assault kiri, let alone when it's one I know?????

[mighty star]

my day instantly gets worse when theres a kiri in my lobby

I hate Kirishima why am i here

[tired wraith]

Assault Kiri is an endangered species 💔 we gotta stay together

[sturdy owl]

we WILL keep assault kiri mains alive!!!

[knotty grove]

I'm sad we don't see each other often..

[sturdy owl]

to be our only winning matchup

[mighty star]

I eat assault kiri for breakfast 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

[sturdy owl]

literally it's tragic how rare these run ins are, like- let me run into my assault kiri buddies more often!!!!

[tired wraith]

Rock unironically training all his friends how to beat assault kiri with their mains when we trying to keep assault kiris alive

[sturdy owl]

I hope you're coping

[errant turtle]

What should I upgrade first on red drive

[mighty star]

I am not coping i’ve lost to an assualt kiri twice since I found out what to do with him (and it was both by the same guy 💔)

[tired wraith]

not that its a bad thing I feel like a coughing baby when I watch him just say no to my Gamma

[sturdy owl]

literally it is so incredibly amazing to 1v1 someone and watch in real time as they realize OH, OH GOD, ASSAULT KIRI IS CRACKED

[sturdy owl]

then idk why you hate us so much lmao

[tired wraith]

The utter fear I felt when I realized Kiri just tells my gamma no bro

[mighty star]

red drive

[tired wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/shigaraki-overhaul-mha-bnha-gif-19419891

[sturdy owl]

oh yeah fair, specify your hatred then

[mighty star]

I hate every kiri

[sturdy owl]

red drive: panic as his shield doesn't do anything to protect him
assault kiri: ROCKS? BUDDY I'M MADE OF ROCKS!

[tired wraith]

Neon likes Kiri as much as I like Iida.

[knotty grove]

I've given plenty of folks I know PTSD with mine with how I made my build

[mighty star]

Kirishima in show : “Oh? He’s a pretty manly guy , I like hi-“
Kirishima in game :

[tired wraith]

Real

[sturdy owl]

you're Denki you can't hate Kiri this much </3

[sturdy owl]

real, all my friends live in TERROR of assault kiri because of me. even before I had any decent tuning going on
now my gammas deal 230 damage...

[knotty grove]

TBF Denkis are snacks to me

[sturdy owl]

I love this clip so much, mans had NO IDEA what to do

[mighty star]

maybe I should main Overhaul

[sturdy owl]

oh believe you me, Neon and I became friends because I was publically bragging that I play with my food when I fight Denkis and he told me he hates me

there's a clip in my latest vid where I see some sparks and go "ooooh is that a DENKI? bringing me BREAKFAST? come on let me kill you!"

and immediately a friend in vc quips "you need to send that clip to Neon, that specific voiceline"

[tired wraith]

It fr becomes instinctual on sight behavior for me

hears electricity and now on a mission

[tired wraith]

A lesser man would say I was hacking

[knotty grove]

These are PU numbers with my build

[mighty star]

253 damage to shield 💔

[sturdy owl]

good. take em down. we need to keep the population in check

[mighty star]

yea no tjis is disgusting

[rustic kestrel]

Hey yall what reload speed is best for red drive?

[sturdy owl]

if I had festival happi I could be doing 250 hp damage on gamma but alas, I only have like half his PURs...

[sturdy owl]

I'd say gamma since beta benefits the least from it (one massive reload) and alpha just isn't a big reload concern, while gamma you want them ROCKS

[knotty grove]

Now Todorokis ARE THE REAL FOOD

[mighty star]

“only half” is insane

[tired wraith]

The universe has to nerf us somehow

[rustic kestrel]

ok thanks

[sturdy owl]

LMAO I love complaining abt such a privilidged place to be in

[mighty star]

I had 0 PUR kiri skins up until I rolled for Tech Denki , and I ended up getting two

[sturdy owl]

I ONLY have four PURs!!! poor me!!!

[tired wraith]

Me rolling every summonable PUR for shiggy on Overhaul's banner in S6

[sturdy owl]

I ONLY have my full vampire build with almost every defensive small slot in the game </3

[knotty grove]

Listen Red Todo is a rite of passage, Purple Todo is the advanced test.

[sturdy owl]

yeah tech todo actually has something to say about your hardening, you have to be more careful

tho you still match up very well by all means

but when strike shoto tries to run into you and eats a beta to the face instead? hilarious

[tired wraith]

I love punching tech shotos ice wall away before it can explode

[sturdy owl]

I have to say the funniest strike shoto thing is depending on how his ice wall spawns you can beta punch through a crack and hit him on the other side

[knotty grove]

This is my damage without PU

[sturdy owl]

I downed a strike shoto that way and it was HILARIOUS

[tired wraith]

Mirio getting flattened like it's a cartoon

[sturdy owl]

doing that on gp is NUTS, is that with small slots alone??

[knotty grove]

I made the gamma into a force of nature

[rustic kestrel]

do you remember my build that i was theorizing with assault kiri's gamma pre nerf sisterly dispo?

"sisterly killer"

[knotty grove]

This is my build

[sturdy owl]

not off the top of my head I have seen like 50 kiri builds this past month lmao

[rustic kestrel]

The embrittlement + crushing PU charge

[tired wraith]

Overhaul regular tuning is actually goated

[sturdy owl]

that's insane I LITERALLY HAVE A BUILD ON THAT COSTUME, I know triple gamma gets it to 230 but I didn't realize gp attack boosts it that much more

[mighty star]

I have it on my Kendo

[sturdy owl]

tho my triple gamma stack is on undefeatable heat which has like NO damage slots lmao

[sturdy owl]

OHHH yes good combo

[knotty grove]

It is a build that if you do NOT get out of my way, I will be the end.

[sturdy owl]

tbh my vampire build is very immovable object, unstoppable force coded because while I don't have the actual max damage I have SO MUCH DEFENSE and if you let me down you I am basically full healed, your teammates cannot strike me down

[knotty grove]

Interesting 🤔

[sturdy owl]

tbh in general with assault kiri I find the vampire build suits me well cause I just want that momentum, I wanna keep going and not have to worry about stopping

I've tried sisterly and that was kinda fun to fish for melees with but ultimately just was dead a lot of the time

perception/embrit is cracked on red drive but I haven't even tried it on assault kiri cause that melee is so hard to land

wallrunner/electrification just didn't really do it for my goopy gamer brain, and chaos city has made me hate wallrunner it has SO MANY OVERHANGS

vampire my beloved. heal me for downs. watch my health max out as someone I punched dies in storm. go to heal after a fight then I remember I don't have to. ethereal

[knotty grove]

Fair, I like to just be, "if you make a mistake, I'm gonna make you have regrets."

[mighty star]

endlag in a nutshell

[sturdy owl]

go ahead and be non-actionable around me, I dare you

[mighty star]

🤷

no idea why this got censored

[sturdy owl]

"blanking me over" is a blocked work afaik

[mighty star]

that is so stupid 💔

[sturdy owl]

what if I just say screw?

[mighty star]

crazy.

[sturdy owl]

nah the ing makes it blocked

[mighty star]

when the family friendly server blocks my family friendly version of what i’m trying to say

[sturdy owl]

ANYWAYS I just do this with my gameplay by default and electrification just felt like it messed up my gameflow more than anything. I'm sure it's smthn you can get used to incorporating but I am nothing if not stubborn about changing my gameplay too much

[sturdy owl]

you can't just not swear, there have to be ZERO IMPLICATIONS

[knotty grove]

Every Kiri is different and that is ok. ^^

[sturdy owl]

HONESTLY I think that's why I love him so much is everyone ends up with different styles

paradoxically having such a bad kit means there's so many ways to use it

unlike someone like strike dabi or post-nerf hawks where like... you don't have many options

ik for me I've always been the most defensive/supportive assault kiri I know where I'm focused on clutch survival more than landing KOs myself, I cause problems and keep my team alive by being more trouble than they are

like I've had people full focus MY ASSAULT KIRI instead of my rapid toga and twice teammates
somehow I was the problematic one

I love it tbh

[rustic kestrel]

real

[knotty grove]

I know I can be an aggressive Kiri thanks to my mentor, I am if you push my buttons hard enough, but I am more cautious and as a result made folks fear bushes.

[sturdy owl]

tbh I feel like a really unique assault kiri sometimes cause when I took up this game nobody was really teaching assault kiri from the ground up so I just had to figure him out myself

[knotty grove]

I was by my lonesome in Season 2 self teaching myself till I met my mentor in Season 3.

[sturdy owl]

I met Jo in here shortly after I hero ticketed assault kiri and he def inspired me to keep at it and make him WORK but I didn't really have any good clips for him to critique and he was on xbox while I'm pc so I was mostly on my own

[knotty grove]

We both worked hard to be the Kiris we are today 😄

[sturdy owl]

WE DID! THAT'S SUPER MANLY!

[knotty grove]

Dang right it is

[night wave]

Ngl I rather Assault Kiri over Strike Kiri not the fact I’m just trash at playing Strike Kiri I just find it more fun with Assault

[sturdy owl]

ngl I actively find assault kiri the more fun character, nothing is better than wrecking shop with him

[night wave]

Frrr

[robust orbit]

Disgusting ah dude got absolutely destroyed by me

Im sick of these weirdos bro

[errant turtle]

I like the way you play Kirishima

[sturdy owl]

locked in, ruined his day, PUNISHED HIM for what he did

[tired wraith]

Blud shoulda just done it once and left.

Or actually use the brainwash for what it's intended.

[robust orbit]

Don't encourage that disgusting behavior dawg

Bros a weirdo fr

And he was never getting a Way my reload cards was gonna make sure of it

[tired wraith]

I'm glad you got back at him that's a first I've seen a shinso pull that stuff.

Most I've seen one do is emote and dip

🥀

[robust orbit]

They be doing it all the time

Ion like shinsos

[tired wraith]

I guess switch shinso more tame 💔

[robust orbit]

They all bad

[robust orbit]

Appreciate it bro

[tired wraith]

And I was saying he should have used his beta or alpha while your guard is forced down.

[robust orbit]

Wouldn't have saved him

My gamma would've just gave me super armor and tank the damage

And beta him

If he tried to alpha spam ill just dodge and beta

[tired wraith]

I mean bro seemed bent on running ig

[errant turtle]

Can u check out my strike kiri build ?

I made it because I was in such a rush to use him once I got him because he was my first skilllset

I’ll grab a screenshot of it in a bit

[robust orbit]

Sure

[robust orbit]

he was alr low from when I fought him earlier

That's why he brain washed me

[tired wraith]

And blud chose to do that instead of getting away 💔

Shinsos be nerfing themselves with they egos

[mighty star]

my ego is deserved ^_^

[errant turtle]

Do you struggle with kendo?

I’m starting to do bad against kendo now

With many characters

[robust orbit]

She is very annoying

And I dont like her at all

[robust orbit]

Its understandable

[errant turtle]

How do I send someone to this channel

In my message

Someone wants to learn the red kiri movement thing with the beta

[severe cloud]

if you tag them here they can find it on their own

[errant turtle]

@robust orbit

Here’s my build

Reminder this is superr early

You also get a peak of my material stock too I guess

[rustic kestrel]

does gamma attack power tuning work with kiri's b@lls

[ruby shore]

Yes

[rustic kestrel]

ok thanks

[robust orbit]

Why symbol of peace?

[errant turtle]

I never tried changing it

[robust orbit]

Understandable

[errant turtle]

How do you think it could be better?

I can’t buy any new costumes

[robust orbit]

Wall runner

[errant turtle]

I see

[sturdy owl]

was this before or after I nick'd you Ego I didn't see this until now

[sturdy owl]

not to insert myself into a conversation but if you want other tuning tips

• mirio and twice would do well to replace those rapid slots if you can get the data for them
• strike dabi would be optimal in the strike villain slot unless you're REALLY using melees
• kurogiri would be an improvement over momo
  I know most or all of these would probably be reliant on random data drops but they can be good upgrades to aim towards

as for your specials rushing PU is always a good thing, but pay attention to how often you actually use your PU thanks to all might vs how many KOs you pull while sitting at 100% charge that you don't need to pop. you could experiment with sisterly for a defensive build, but tbh assault hero slots are limited anyways

[errant turtle]

I definitely have mirio and twice data. As for kurogiri I’m saving his for this momo build I’m gonna make eventually

I can swap in Dabi I think

[sturdy owl]

also I didn't notice your levels, but I see symbol of peace will be more valuable with a lower level red slot

maybe if you max out the left slot you'll find symbol of peace doesn't matter as much, or maybe you'll enjoy having PU after a mere 2 KOs!

the important part of a tuning build is if it works for you

wallrunner/electrification SHOULD be really good on both kiris but I personally can't stand it so I never use it

[errant turtle]

Ohhh

I can’t lie

Assault kiri is more fun

Wish I had him

[errant turtle]

I want to but I’m getting low on those upgrades

[sturdy owl]

nws I know sometimes you work with what you've got, next season tho there'll be a lisence full of tuning supplies to! grab

[sturdy owl]

AND HE'S SO FUN I LIKE HIM MORE THAN RED DRIVE maybe if you get lucky with hero souls you could buy a hero ticket

I assume you've already spent both the ones from your notebook, yeah?

[errant turtle]

..yes

I’m so mad I bought aizawa

I even put embrittlement on him

[mighty star]

buy Denki

[errant turtle]

I would’ve gladly taken kendo or assault kiri but I was convinced into getting him

[errant turtle]

Denki will be my last character

[mighty star]

dawg

💔

[errant turtle]

I’m mad I got endeavor too

I suck with him

[sturdy owl]

based

tbh I got kendo and iida both who I NEVER PLAY so I feel you

[errant turtle]

Uhgggg

[errant turtle]

Rock

I’m actually scared of these good kendo’s

The ones with trance blow

[sturdy owl]

they are terrifying her kit is so busted I hate it

it's hard to give solid advice but the best I've got is to understand your positioning, try to be on the look out for gammas to dodge (dodging straight into her has the best success for me), and be aware of your range/movement options helping you out

[errant turtle]

It’s like fighting an Elden ring boss

[sturdy owl]

my favourite thing to do is walk straight towards a kendo holding up her shield then dodge her gamma when it comes out

if she thinks you're stupid enough to fall for it and you successfully dodge, you get to punish her with whatever you want

[sturdy owl]

tbh I'm very assault kiri brained so this entire game feels like elden ring with his kit

and then I play red drive like he's assault kiri so the theme continues

[errant turtle]

Kendo’s play weird

Is it possible to use their PlayStyle with red drive

They utilize the stun from the shield a bunch

[sturdy owl]

tbh punishing a shield bonk by releasing beta is a really solid option

tho I usually try to land betas on people who aren't actionable so they can't dodge

in general I gotta study his shield cause idk if my keyboard is just broken or if beta just DOESN'T work sometimes

[errant turtle]

Ah

[mighty star]

Kendo can’t move her shield fast enough if you constantly roll spam LMAO

[errant turtle]

Kendo on kendo crime

[robust orbit]

Why is there kendo gameplay in this channel neon

[sage terrace]

got backshot'd

[robust orbit]

And he got cooked

[solemn valley]

I have been here for none of this journey but I gotta say

That brings a tear to my eye

Fly high rock chucker

[errant turtle]

Ur making me single summon

I’m gonna be sad if I don’t get rapid toga or strike deku

Wait nvm im at 150😞

[errant turtle]

I’m starting to love Red Drive’s gamma

As I should tbh

@robust orbit I need a bit of help

[robust orbit]

Wsp bro

[errant turtle]

For tech denkis is it smarter to keep fighting or try to run?

I tried to run from one but I was surprised he caught up to me

His lock on alpha’s messed me up too

[nova ore]

Mess him up bro

[robust orbit]

Fight

And keep your shield up

Only attack when he does

And get as close as possible

[sturdy owl]

remember as red drive your gamma's the one with super armour, so timed right that can help you avoid a stun

denkis are TERRIFIED of you alright? they can't touch you

[somber basin]

I got a clip yesterday of me fighting an assault Ochako and my gamma armor powered through her alpha and she took 3 rocks to the face before running away

I powered through 2 alphas as well

It was so funny

[robust orbit]

My favorite thing to do too her is when shes doing her gamma flying up on the platform

I do the kiri fly tech and fly up there and hit her with a gamma

Big ol surprise

[somber basin]

Lmao thats what i do but with beta slam

[robust orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/heresjhonny555-gif-17140204686577388089

[robust orbit]

So much fun

[mighty star]

I don’t usually struggle with red drive while on lightning

[sturdy owl]

omg where's my clip of me absolutely wrecking a red drive with assault kiri while I trash talk him for not knowing what he's doing shfsgsgshs

pro tip: if someone is grounded and looking at you, do not bother with your beta slam

unless you like, jump before using it or they're distracted w smthn that will let you catch them off guard

[sturdy owl]

I am so obsessed with ruining her day with jumpscares like this

[olive eagle]

kings

i think

i think his hardening is back

🥹

[robust orbit]

Nah

We can still be knocked

Just stays in hardening

[sturdy owl]

tbh I'm really hoping this is a good thing overall, since you can keep the defense boost for a whole fight instead of losing it the moment someone knocks you

[errant turtle]

Isn’t that really good now

The idea of getting knocked out of hardening confused me

[sturdy owl]

it's def way more useful now and gives him a lot more to work with - it just isn't up to what hardening used to be like

[errant turtle]

Was hardening super op before?

[sturdy owl]

it was before my time but hardening used to be insane, made him truly unstoppable and even reduced storm damage which was noxious for storm camping. someone else might be able to give more details but I have heard tale that assault kiri used to be a BEAST

[nova spindle]

SPECIAL ACTION BUFF

[nova spindle]

yh in like season 4 it used to reduce storm damage

[sturdy owl]

WE'RE NOT GETTING KNOCKED OUT OF IT THE MOMENT WE GET HIT BY A HEAVY MOVE

tho bluetooth revives are dead

[nova spindle]

YIPPEE

IM GETTING ON IN LIKE AN HOUR

BUT THEY NERFED UA ISLANDD

[sturdy owl]

SICK
I'm actually going to bed rn but I HOPE IT'S A GOOD TIME

[nova spindle]

TY

[sturdy owl]

idk why they had to reduce UA to one hour like??? just make everything two hours each if they wanted to boost usj v3

[nova spindle]

fr

man i dont wanna get cookedd

[nova ore]

Yeah it's annoying I hate USJ

[sturdy owl]

"okay I've been playing a lot of red drive all of s10 since he's a shiny new toy, but in s11 I'll be back on assault kiri!"
USJ increased to 2 hours, UA decreased to 1 hour
"red drive it is..."

I hope they at least added item spawns on the rest of USJ (I doubt it)

[tired wraith]

Correct me if I read wrong

But kiri got a SA Buff?

[nova ore]

Yeah I think it doesn’t deactivate as easily

Haven’t tested it out yet

[sturdy owl]

afaik they changed it so getting knocked while hardened doesn't actually STOP the hardening

it still knocks you but hardening stays up

[tired wraith]

Well it's a start in the right direction

[sturdy owl]

at least we can keep it up for a whole fight instead of losing it the moment someone looks at us wrong

god knows I win the overhaul matchup now

[tired wraith]

🥀

Tbh I'd be cooked either way

Overhaul NEEDS that gamma stun

[ruby shore]

Did they revert kiri special action

[sturdy owl]

not a full revert, but a return to form. getting knocked doesn't actually cancel hardening, it remains up - tho you CAN be knocked like before

[tired wraith]

Can't ask for too much

Otherwise they just gonna do something worse

[sturdy owl]

at least this one didn't come with a balancing nerf like when his alpha got buffed, but lost reload to balance the extra ammo

[tired wraith]

They nerf his HP to 350

[sturdy owl]

I'D CRY

[olive eagle]

thats how it used to be

[olive eagle]

they wont

hopefully

[tired wraith]

The goal of making kiri more tanky and then nerfing his HP to defeat the purpose

Byking would

[olive eagle]

they sure would bro

😭

[ruby shore]

Do grabs deactivate his SA?

Like Aizawa alpha and Strike dabi beta?

[olive eagle]

nope

grabs and the like no longer take him out of hardening

he still gets grabbed and he can still be knocked over but he keeps his hardening the entire time now

[ruby shore]

Nice

[tired wraith]

Revenge assault Kiri stocks are rising now with this and Sisterly getting gutted

🔥🔥🔥

[tired wraith]

@sturdy owl could truly become a TANK barring you have someone with team heals or warp heal

Or an Overhaul 🗣️

[sturdy owl]

oh TRUE could be worth trying-

[ruby shore]

Assault Kiri is back

[tired wraith]

Revenge assault and strike assault Kiri anyone?

[sturdy owl]

I have a max levelled costume for it-

[tired wraith]

So do I-

[sturdy owl]

let's GO-

[tired wraith]

The same one you helped me build LOL-

[sturdy owl]

LMAO oh right!

I could dismantle my SSR/sisterly build for that if desired

I might go SSR/revenge assault for the funny unkillable kiri

[tired wraith]

LMAO

[robust orbit]

No you could never be moved or knocked or grabbed this js just u stay in hardening

[arctic flint]

OOOOO yellow kiri feels SO good to play now

[tired wraith]

[ruby shore]

Assault Kiri baby

[arctic flint]

YEAH\

[rustic kestrel]

im having fun playing red kiri with space walk and nejiy ray jump

[tired wraith]

Dubs

[arctic flint]

that sounds kinda crazy

[somber basin]

(a little late) I think they did

I played with a friend earlier and noticed more loot in spots i dont remember loot being

Also the new aquatic area has so many loot spawns

[sturdy owl]

I'm glad to hear it!!

[somber basin]

honestly thats like 1 of the usjs problems was that there was such little loot so the more loot spawns is nice

[sturdy owl]

yeah no idk how often I'd be running around like. what do I do now?

[somber basin]

Fr its annoying

[tired wraith]

You'd be lucky to get something level 9 in trios

Ngl

On usj

[somber basin]

honestly yeah

[olive eagle]

is this true

?

i swear u could be grabbed back in the day with old hardening

but it has been a hot year

[robust orbit]

Yea u could

Mb

[sturdy owl]

pro tip: hardened kiri now eats aizawa for breakfast

well that's an overstatement but his combos don't work on you

he grabs you then you punish him while he's locked in an attack

[west hull]

Hi chat

[half igloo]

Oh how the turns have tabled

[sturdy owl]

tbh there is gonna be a period of gleeful joy for kiris as nobody yet knows how to handle buffed hardening

like what do you do when you're mid-combo and the guy just???? punches you??????

honestly idek how people are gonna deal with it moving forward, cause like... don't combo a hardened kiri???

in which case
I will simply
start making my red auras visible to everyone

[half igloo]

Isn't it already?

[half igloo]

It doesn't last too long so you cld just wait it out ig

Either way yellow kiri specifically still loses to zoning

And red is red

[half igloo]

Oh nah I just saw Kiri res his whole team uninterrupted with hardening 💀

[ruby shore]

Well yeah

If you don't have a move that can knockdown

[mighty star]

3 characters

[sturdy owl]

oh yeah no assault kiri isn't like, meta or anything now, it just means that people who know what to do with him can get SO MUCH MORE WORK DONE

[sturdy owl]

it isn't cause when I tried it before it felt like it got me targeted lmao

[half igloo]

As it should be

[half igloo]

I read that wrong, I tht you said that they should add that

Anyways is unbreakable combat a good build? It looks so you can run electrification sisterly and it has 3 red slots

For yellow kiri btw

[tired wraith]

Two great examples as to why revenge assault is better than sisterly trust

[frigid spire]

me when i press R instead

[tired wraith]

To truck through attacks is the assault kiri way

[frozen forum]

I would have turn around and killed her

[sturdy owl]

tbh revenge assault is valuable as an automatic panic button, you don't miss out if you're having bad luck w melees it's always there

[tired wraith]

I wanted that Ochaco dead

💀

[tired wraith]

Not bad for Assault Kiri

[sturdy owl]

get your rocks on!

[nova spindle]

rocks

[nova spindle]

GAMBLING TIME

CAN I GET A CHARACTER FOR THE FIRST TIME IM 4 SEASONS

CMONN

AIZAWA....

0 pur..

thats twice in a row man

[sturdy owl]

I did a 10x yesterday and didn't get ANYTHING. I feel you

[nova spindle]

im cursed againn

[nova spindle]

NA

3 IN A ROW

[celest locust]

What’s the best skin for yellow kiri tuning?

[arctic flint]

guys how do i cancel gamma into beta

asking for a friend

[somber basin]

For which kiri?

actually thinking again u cant with either

Both have to much armor frames on their gammas to cancel

[long elbow]

you can only cancel things out with the alpha

[half igloo]

On yellow I think you need to fall off a ledge mid gamma or something I've never done it tho

[sturdy owl]

yeah, gamma'ing while you fall off a ledge it'll mess up and cancel it

honestly if someone looks at you wrong it'll cancel assault kiri's gamma but idk any world where you'd WANT to do it

[half igloo]

I think they want the attack to come out first then cancel, doing this intentionally is kinda hard I think

[sturdy owl]

oh canceling it after the hitbox to skip endlag - I cannot fathom doing this on purpose I've never even done it by accident

[arctic flint]

Oh on yellow kiri

And i meant like that one combo ive seen people pull off

when they hit gamma and have enough time to his a beta afterwards

it seems very situational

or happenstance

[frigid spire]

it's not really a cancel

but it can happen if you get a really late hit on gamma

the later you hit the gamma, the less time you have in recovery thus letting you hit beta in corners and stuff

[somber basin]

Thats mostly just predicting wake ups

[obtuse relic]

It’s is probably a really lucky situation where they

1. Didn’t have shields
2. Got hit with the beta from high up
3. Didn’t recover and got hit with a gamma my guess though

[finite maple]

I did it bois I’ve mastered kirishima

[arctic flint]

red or yellow

[finite maple]

Red

It don’t really matter the color tho it’s still a good score

[sturdy owl]

12 KOs with red vs yellow kiri is a very different story is all lmao

I'm still waiting on another 10 KO game with assault kiri, I'm just too much of a tank to really pull them

[nova spindle]

i played strike kiri tdy

and got 0 to deathed by 6 momo cannons

[half igloo]

Ooh

[carmine dagger]

@sturdy owl

I've come here with very interesting information

A myth one might say

One I know may interest you

The question is if you are ready to go on the journey to find it

[mighty star]

Let me hear the info

[sturdy owl]

I am so very interested and journey-ready. do tell

[carmine dagger]

Heed my words well for I shall delete them soon

Now how one may do this? I can not disclose

Do with it as you want my kirishima main

Till we meet again

If you want a clue on how to find it, meet no life or mrow, I doubt no life will help though

[mighty star]

wait so what was the info 💔

[half igloo]

Bro just chat shi then left 😭

[obtuse relic]

Bro just wanted to yap

That’s not manly bro

[sturdy owl]

dude I'm playing a video game I did not see it lmao

[carmine dagger]

Kiri can

Good luck figuring it out

@sturdy owl

@sturdy owl

Actually, I'll just send it to you

[obtuse relic]

Why are we gatekeeping?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/834878019356459008/1299963631223570432/togif.gif

[carmine dagger]

I'm sorry
It's not manly, I'll admit
But it's the most logical thing I could do

[obtuse relic]

If it’s a assault kiri tip I play him too yk

💔 ✌️

[carmine dagger]

And seeing as I'm an Aizawa main, yeah
I'm picking that option

[carmine dagger]

Sorry

[obtuse relic]

Aizawa loses to kiri anyway

[carmine dagger]

That's... interesting

[obtuse relic]

Special action makes his gamma useless

So unless your staying in the air ggs

[carmine dagger]

Do you think Aizawa relies on his gamma alone?

Ok

To each their own then

[obtuse relic]

Just saying if you grab him your being punished

[carmine dagger]

Depends on how you grab him

Honestly, Aizawa still wins

[obtuse relic]

And realistically whose gonna stand there and allow you to air alpha them for free

[obtuse relic]

Depends on if they got game sense

I’m going inside a building

And I’m also gonna heal while I’m hardening if I get low

[carmine dagger]

Realistically, who said you had a choice

[obtuse relic]

✌️

[carmine dagger]

So you running?

Sure

[obtuse relic]

Ofc I’m a assault kiri I’m not fighting you in the open where you staying in the air 😭

Come inside we won’t jump you

[carmine dagger]

And I'm not fighting you inside as well

[carmine dagger]

I'll take my chances with the grass and blue sky

But I'll admit

Kiri is stronger now

[obtuse relic]

Until I run into a strike shiggy
