I’d say this is #2

#

Anything that uses space hop makes it the best fit

#

Here’s my ranking of best space hop fits top to bottom

#

I’m not counting base tuning just special

#

(Because then villain suit dangerous would be higher)

#

Left to right

#

Left is best right is worst

#

My opinions

#

If you look at base tunings more then special then these might be different to you

mortal garnet
#

What do I do when I have a less than level 7 alpha?

#

Cry?

Any other patch notes?

#

These patchnotes seem so lazy

#

What is their obsession with the number 50

covert juniper
main orchid
#

this effects team combos a bit tho

#

they shouldnt have given the shockwave knockdown on compress tho

#

thats cringe

novel goblet
#

If they removed that, I'd be somewhat fine

#

50 downpower on Assault Deku (and most other characters) though makes no sense, that's still 800+ damage before knockdown 😭

#

Where's the Strike Deku treatment

covert juniper
#

Yeah I think its not gonna phase any beamers

#

which is quite saddening

#

Because the ideas there

#

Just not enough

torn herald
#

We thrived and now they've taken away our fun

novel goblet
#

I'm still so baffled

#

I truly believe they just said "yeah give every day one character 50 DP on their Alpha"

novel goblet
#

One of the appeals of Compress' Alpha was it's third party potential

#

Seeing as it quite literally just added damage

#

Now I feel it might become a hindrance to some teammates

#

Imagine interrupting a combo for only thirty damage 😭

covert juniper
#

I’m not gonna lie the only good thing about him is his gp stun now

novel goblet
#

Even then, I think a lot of people overreact about the gp stun

#

I find it rare that i manage to actually hit the marble

#

I've also just realised this kinda messes with his melee combos

covert juniper
#

I gotta test his combos tmr and see how bad it is

#

Do you think he’s bottom 5? Or just low tier now

#

I don’t think he’s bottom 5, but it really depends on how bad these combos are changed

#

Because I can’t hit jump melee into guard break anymore

novel goblet
#

It's hard to say right now, I doubt he'll be that bad though

#

It's still a massive blow to his kit though

#

But then again, his Beta buff was kinda insane

#

I feel as if he's not too bad, he's got pretty good sources of offence, defence and mobility

#

But then again, his alpha was his only source of damage

#

I feel like I'm ranting too much

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

I wonder how much worse Trance Blow is on him now

covert juniper
#

I think the main problem is his team comp is down the gutter now

#

he literally can’t play with a team well now

#

and that’s kinda blows his kit

novel goblet
#

He can't really hinder his teammates

#

Well until now that is

covert juniper
#

His gp stun into Tod is dead now too, so no more Tod

#

I wouldn’t care about that, if they also got rid of all other TODs in this game

#

Imagine we get on and they also hot fixed his melee cancel

novel goblet
#

Would genuinely kill the character 😭

torn herald
novel goblet
#

I'm still so insanely baffled, Assault Deku still has his Blackwhip combos, and Ochaco still has her Gamma-double-Alpha combo

#

They had the right idea, just had no idea what to do with it

#

The life of a Switch Compress is interesting, though I cannot deny that I've been contemplating on moving to or making an alt on pc

covert juniper

I've heard Switch 2 Compress is pretty insane with Gyro controls

covert juniper
#

I was NOT ready

#

To be right…

covert juniper
#

I only hit these kinda combos once in a while I go more basic and less flashy combos

novel goblet
covert juniper
#

All the combos make sense, but I can bet most of these are impossible now

#

how does he move so fast for Nintendo tho?

novel goblet
#

That's what I don't get, I'm pretty sure he plays on the OG Switch too

jade pond
#

it might just be ggs for Compress

covert juniper
#

A team denier rather then a support

#

But still gotta continue playing him

jade pond
#

but we'll see how it goes.. other than Compress. Some beamers got hit across the board

covert juniper
#

assault mights is bad bad, he’s really bad now

jade pond
#

Present Mic didn't even get touched

#

is beyond crazy

covert juniper
#

Instant kill trio

#

@novel goblet it’s so over

#

They gave blue ocha 350
Hp

novel goblet
covert juniper
#

nope…

novel goblet
#

I am actually speechless

covert juniper
#

I mean it’s a present mic nerf…

novel goblet
#

I am actually speechless

#

The character with arguably the best mobility in the game having a HP buff

#

She now has like Assault-level HP

covert juniper
#

What are we supposed to do

#

Wait took

#

Omg we’re saved

#

It was a slight accident it’s a strike bakugo buff not ocha

#

The war was dodged

novel goblet
#

That makes sense

amber laurel
#

I'll never tune someone before mid patch again

broken ferry
#

Can't believe they nerfed my favorite character in the game

amber laurel
#

Tbf, jp might be fine with it.
Knocking people in fights denies their dmg. So in 3v3 it can be really useful to aoe knock ppl.
Might switch dabi tune to zawa.

#

I say jp cause apparently every game is a tourney lol

#

We'll see.

#

Im dum its 5 alphas. Ain't too bad unless ur that guy in the vid

covert juniper
#

And you can’t jump melee into alphas very well anymore and his TODs are gone, but take that with what you will

amber laurel
#

Ye. Meant for the average non melee compress. His melees are the most fun apart of kit. Good speed range setup etc.

broken ferry
#

if this kills compress i might just quit the game

golden cloud
broken ferry
golden cloud
#

Respect

broken ferry
#

i only do solos

golden cloud
#

Ah

broken ferry
#

and i dont play often since im new to hawks on pc so i need more practice before i try ranked again

golden cloud
#

Pc hawks is just spam gamma alpha

broken ferry
#

personaly i beta

covert juniper
#

If your not a spam alpha kind person it’s gonna kill ya

broken ferry
#

unless it was on accident

covert juniper
#

But it completely destroys team combos with him

broken ferry
#

ive only comboed on compress on accident never could pull the combos on purpose

covert juniper
#

They would be hard there

#

Because of the timing and such

#

But still his spam alpha playstyle will be affected a lot too

broken ferry
covert juniper
#

Like 5 alphas can kill a person at max, but at the same time you gotta count in your teammates attacks

broken ferry
#

i dont usually teammates helping me so i dont take that into consideration

covert juniper
broken ferry
covert juniper
#

Ah

broken ferry
#

i do solo queue more often than stacks

covert juniper
#

I play a more strike kind of role, kinda jumping into action real quick and then reading situations in the air

broken ferry
#

depends on if im solo queue or i stack

#

but i am a aggresive compress i just also take my teammates into account

broken ferry
#

First game after the nerfs

#

I don't feel it lol

novel goblet
covert juniper
#

compress can no longer tod in anyway

#

I reccomend not using melees in combos very often now

daring jay
proven palm
#

Tell it to me straight doc

#

Is compress dead?

daring jay
#

Compress combos definitely are

novel goblet
golden cloud
#

Hawks

#

But yeah he’s up there

novel goblet
#

I wouldn't consider Hawk's bad

#

The tracking is still insane

golden cloud
#

I mean he can’t do anything off it anymore

golden cloud
#

His tracking is really weird rn

novel goblet
#

To be fair, sometimes it tracks through literal walls for me, and other times it does nothing 😭

golden cloud
#

I think his tracking bugs when people move too much upwards or downwards and it just gives up

novel goblet
#

I just think the risk-reward factor for Compress just isn't worth it anymore

#

especially since his melee 1 has a lack of tracking

covert juniper
#

I mean the dmg isn’t that much higher even if you cancel tho

golden cloud
novel goblet
covert juniper

#

So compress is just more simple now

#

Just toss trucks and thats it

golden cloud
#

Pretty much yea

#

Dumbing him down

lyric nimbus
#

My teammate keeps falling out of pocket when they aren't even touching the keyboard

covert juniper
#

It happens to me sometimes but it’s kinda like a once every other match thing

lyric nimbus
#

its also at random

#

like not literally every 30 seconds

#

somtimes its a few seconds and sometimes its minutes

covert juniper
#

Yeah it’s very random

lyric nimbus
#

oh shi wait are u solo que?

covert juniper
#

I often don’t hold people in it unless the situation needs it, there’s no movement, or to escape storm dmg

covert juniper
lyric nimbus
covert juniper
#

but being able to hold your teammates when it’s not bugged is great in storm

#

It just breaks too often to use in storm

lyric nimbus
covert juniper
#

Def

#

Momo is the storm queen tho

#

so being able to hold her untill she can full team is a great asset

lyric nimbus
#

u can literally storm dive and go down

#

and she has enough health to rez u

#

and then u pocket her again

#

and mini heal

#

and then full heal

#

i havent died in storm yet to do it but it is very possible

mortal garnet
#

Someone needs to be the grenade

covert juniper
#

but your a ibara main right?

mortal garnet
#

I don’t just play this one character only

#

I think I would’ve genuinely gone insane if I did

covert juniper
#

burger bara

#

Ive been playing him strait for 7 seasons

#

hes fun

#

and learning how to hit the marbles was so satisfying

mortal garnet
#

I need to play different things

#

Especially when your character is as unimaginative as ibara

#

There’s no saucy combos, just spacing and positioning knowledge

covert juniper
#

sounds like a monoma main

mortal garnet
#

I have self-respect not to play him

main orchid
mortal garnet
#

No matter how much I am trying to use that beta right It just feels so wrong.

#

Since you reminded me, I will try again though

main orchid
#

if you cna

#

can

#

clip your gameplay of struggling with the beta

#

i can give further advice

#

i know literally everything about this character so ill gladly help

covert juniper
lyric nimbus

@novel goblet lol you were in the new Trashjunkie vid

Huh

#

ohhh i remember these games

#

to make that even worse, i think I actually recognise the momo who killed me too 💔

covert juniper
#

why don’t I ever see you, are you not US servers?

marsh storm
#

won't be available today though

also no I don't main him in any way

#

Your here

mortal garnet
#

Can we get like a list on what beta reflects and what it doesn’t?

covert juniper
mortal garnet
covert juniper
#

I actually did have it

#

Trying to find it now

#

Sooo

#

I lost it

mortal garnet
#

Time to make a new one

covert juniper
mortal garnet
#

By the way, is Gamma armored or not?

Because like sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn’t

torn herald
#

It has some form of Super armor, but a good bit of moves in today's meta can and will knock you out of Compress Gamma.

covert juniper
#

What he said

novel goblet
#

Let me find it

#

Welp, I think it's gone

#

Nevermind I found it

#

I think there's a few errors, but it's mostly correct

novel goblet
lyric nimbus
novel goblet
#

Tamaki's Gamma confuses me, sometimes it'll work perfectly, other times not

covert juniper
#

But that’s boring

novel goblet
#

You mean like the alpha gp stun right?

covert juniper
#

I guess you can count stun in that

novel goblet
#

I'm confused but I'm pretty sure it's just me being stupid

torn herald
covert juniper
#

if your close up it reflects, but from a range it’s not blockable

mortal garnet
#

Scary

#

Also, how do you guys hit back to back marbles because most of the time when I hit a marble, they shift away from my crosshair

covert juniper
#

kinda hard to explain but it works

covert juniper
mortal garnet
covert juniper
#

That combo is great but not 100% practical in all scenarios

#

just because it only usually works on rapids and it wastes a gamma you can use in different ways

covert juniper
#

But it’s slow to pick up movements

mortal garnet
covert juniper
#

So learning that will help you in the long run

mortal garnet
#

Just like strike bakugo beta for me

I struggle hitting his alphas unless I’m raining it down from above

covert juniper
#

But it’s the fun part

#

Hitting the stun then leading into a melee

mortal garnet
#

Have you ever thought that maybe I’m just not that skilled to do that T-T

covert juniper
mortal garnet
#

Reason 2

Kendo Strike

#

Reason 3

Iida

#

I shall add more reasons later

covert juniper
#

Because react ability is very important

#

Strike kendo is not that bad, Ida can be bad if your not paying attention

#

You kinda counter red kendo, especially if you have space hop

#

Just dodge her beta and gamma, then parry her giant alpha

mortal garnet
mortal garnet
#

I don’t

#

The only ability you could counter of hers is alpha

#

God forbid she uses anything else

covert juniper
#

yep, but from my experience it’s the same as dodging Shinso beta, assocha beta, and Tamaki beta, just has a tight frame you gotta dodge

#

you just gotta be faster and think before your enemies

#

That’s all compress is about

mortal garnet
#

You can see them rushing/falling at you well on the other hand kendo beta is a lot quicker and she decides when it comes out

covert juniper
#

Oh I was thinking of her gamma, her beta is easier to dodge isn’t it?

#

Just dodge into it

mortal garnet
covert juniper
#

everyone’s built for him

mortal garnet
#

Because all they need to do is constantly stay around you with it

covert juniper
#

I will be honest with you now tho, what should I call you?

#

Saturn?

mortal garnet
covert juniper
#

ok

#

Saturn

#

Compress

#

He’s a character that gets a lot of hate and will give you more toxic reactions then any other character

mortal garnet
covert juniper
#

because of his small kit and low skill ceiling to people. He’s a character that people will make fun of you for playing or maining
Just because you can’t do much with him

mortal garnet
#

You either get your hate confirmed (strike kendo is bs and I climbed ace with her alone.)

Or you see their true problems and struggles like I am with compress rn

mortal garnet
#

Kit is really simple but it’s what you do with it. That makes the character.

#

Unimaginative but you have to put in the flavor to get them to work

covert juniper
#

I’m ofc not defending that he can be over powered because of his alpha, but once cornered he has no means of escaping

covert juniper
#

The idea that he will always be good because of his beta and his alpha is what makes me keep playing with him

#

He thrives in certain conditions, and when he’s not spotted or focused he can be the biggest threat on the map. But he falls off once a character like Tamaki focuses him

mortal garnet
#

I understand him, but I do not have the skill to play him

mortal garnet
covert juniper
mortal garnet
#

Sorry, I’m using text to speech because I’m playing compress right now

covert juniper
#

The idea of knowing what’s happening everywhere and where everyone is. the main component to playing compress. When I play compress I always look in every corner to make sure my pressure does not allow one heal to be popped

mortal garnet
#

Someone just stole my levels as compress…

covert juniper
#

That’s what makes compress scary imo, the idea that no where without a roof is safe because he can 100-0 you in seconds if you aren’t paying attention to the skies

covert juniper
#

Speaking of levels

#

I’ve actually finally mastered barrel PvP

#

barrel PvP centers more around marble hits and melees tho

#

Never use aoe, it’s a waste of knock down value

mortal garnet
#

I tried saving the level stealer, and I died for it…

covert juniper
#

I use it like once every 2-3 games lol

#

That’s perhaps why I only have 200 revives on compress after 7 seasons

mortal garnet
#

I just saved the same person like five times for them to run directly into a Tamaki cannon as soon as I die…

mortal garnet
covert juniper
#

You’re using the ibara mindset!!! Don’t revive

covert juniper
mortal garnet
#

The more you know

mortal garnet
covert juniper
#

You gotta think of your self like a strike character

#

Almost like redku

#

You have a revive, but it’s almost the worst revive in the game

main orchid
#

yes

easy to jump from building to building

uh

!

torn herald
#

I'm likely the only person that does this since it works for me, but you can just-

Spin in a circle while throwing said alphas, (if memory serves I spin in a clockwise direction) and it'll stabilize your aim and improve consistency.

#

I do agree with Duch that high sensitivity is a must for timing reactions. A magician must always prepare for unexpected things going on within the show.

covert juniper
#

It’s almost time fellow magicians

#

For the tuning above all

#

September 3rd

novel goblet
#

I really hope Compress' SA works with it

#

I'm doubtful though

covert juniper
#

Think about it

#

You can just make your teammate invincible while you do a full heal

#

Ofc it would be a cool compress up scale

#

But would be op

novel goblet
#

Not only that, but it would make the revive function actually worth the risk

covert juniper
#

But ngl this gamemode seems a lil boring

#

I mean it’s cool to get something new, but it’s just gonna be indoor spamming with endeavor and Monoma

novel goblet
#

It seems like assdeavor was made specifically for this gamemode

covert juniper
shell salmon
#

How do you exactly aim with compress for maximum alpha damage

covert juniper
#

Like if your up close I go for marble, if your above just aim downwards at the ground

#

At medium distance you can ricochet off the ground or shoot above their heads

#

But it takes time to really learn how the individual will use their alpha

shell salmon
#

Sounds like a lot of pain huh

novel goblet
#

people underestimate how strange compress' alpha is

covert juniper
covert juniper

Xomprsss

lime glen
#

Can you tell me why compressed can block tamaki gamma but not strike endeavor gamma?

covert juniper
shell salmon
lime glen
covert juniper
#

Compress beta works as a reflect on projectiles and a block on some lingering abilities like endeavor alpha or Tamaki gamma

barren stratus
#

Out of his two pirate skins which is better for supporter tunnings?

barren stratus
covert juniper
#

Second one allows revenge strike, but I find revenge strike kind of underwhelming

covert juniper
#

(Use yellow endeavor for base tuning)

barren stratus
#

Over kendo?

covert juniper
#

You can switch the purple slot up with HSR, hp sucker, or spiraling leap

#

Spiraling leap and HSR are good for beginners

#

hp sucker might be a lil harder to get good value out of if you haven’t played compress a ton

#

Revenge tech is good but I just get bored of it sometimes

#

It’s the best one tho

barren stratus
#

Thank you

#

Do i max alpha first or gamma? Been going gamma first for better mobility

covert juniper
#

Alpha 7

#

Then gamma 9

#

I sometimes go alpha 4, and then save my cards depending on the scenario tho

barren stratus
#

Ok

covert juniper
#

Like if I get enough cards I will save in case I need a second gamma or I just need trucks

barren stratus
#

Oki

covert juniper
#

alpha 4 does enough dmg where it’s ok to leave it

lime glen
#

Reinforce revive might be worth on this character

novel goblet
#

I remember when High Speed Replenishment and Reinforced Revive was the recommended set-up for Compress

#

or at least one guy here used to say it was

lime glen
#

I’m saying it because I just got six saves all in one game

#

I carried that baby amajiki all the way to endgame

#

If my aim was better, we would’ve won

novel goblet
#

but only because of compress' alpha and gamma

novel goblet
#

alpha deals good area denial for picking up your teammate

lime glen
#

The only problem is it’s painfully slow to get anyone out of it

novel goblet
#

i do think he should have super amour for doing that

#

i feel like a lot of people underutilise his special action in general, but that's mainly because a lot of people don't cooperate with it

Oh yeahhhhhhh…

I liked it back when it could just be level one and get max value

novel goblet

i still have zero idea wtf this value is supposed to be

i dont think ive ever hit it

#

just the "explosion" value

lime glen
#

Imagine if you could hit into someone as marbled compress and deal damage

#

Don’t you just have those games where you instantly wanna leave?

lime glen
novel goblet
#

ultra dojo also has another value, but they list it as only dealing 5/6 damage

Odd…

this character really needs like an overhaul on his beta like entirely

I don’t know what reflects what blocks and what just goes through

If that's what you mean

#

Sorry back

I thought so lmao

She doesn’t need levels to brawl

All they do is just boost her damage

Yeah I'm pretty sure

(i kinda miss it)

even tho the tunings deserved nerfs, they all were fun to use

#

prime sisterly made you feel like a raid boss

novel goblet
#

tuning is honestly my favourite part of the game, it's what i look forwards to the most when a new character releases

main orchid
#

same

#

especially when we get more regular damage boosting tunings

#

love those

#

praying that jirou is a support and does like alpha damage boost so my fixer builds can go turbo mode

#

I thought this game was over for me

#

But literally everyone had high-level HP cards

#

I might like compress now

covert juniper

#

Those

#

People call the green bar HP

#

Health points

#

Those cards heal health points

#

I called them HP cards

covert juniper
#

Yes they do

lime glen
#

I think the actual word is support cards

covert juniper
#

I just call them support cards

main orchid
#

in game term is support cards

lime glen
#

Greenheart cards

covert juniper
lime glen
#

I cannot play this character with another person who shares my role

#

I know she likes her cannons, but Momo please let me have the gamma cards

#

At least to level 4 for the cooldown reduction

covert juniper
#

If they think they need the levels then I trust my teammates

lime glen
#

Wasted levels cause she ran out on her own

covert juniper
#

That does happen

But I found something I love about this character

#

Team plays

#

It’s so much easier to coordinate when I carry someone, I ping an enemy, and we jump them together

marsh storm
#

and yeah ultra dojo doesn't really seem to know either (ultra dojo tended to be the most accurate overall imo when it was still getting updates)

#

I personally don't trust ultrarumble com all that much, they don't provide plus ultra damages correctly, melee knock down and more

#

but it's the only one still receiving updates, so we make due with what we get

What compress skin is the best to tune?

Thanks

covert juniper
#

Like do you get high kills, want early levels, or want crazy dmg

#

Or

#

Do you want faster reloads, quicker shields, or more bouncing

#

Ofc you want space hop, but your second tuning is important to

#

You can either do a hero red, purple, Embrit, or villain purple

#

all possible outfits for space hop

#

villain pirates imo is the worse of the group

#

u can use revenge strike, but its only 10%

#

space hop embrit on cyberpunk could be fun

#

debatably the strongest is sweater heat, because it gives space hop crushing pu/ any strike hero

#

villain suit dangerous gives space hop and villain tech, but has the highest dmg tuing of all the builds

#

(replace all might with yellow endeavor)

#

league of villains is the most underrated fit but might be top 3

#

allowing both muscle form and level 11 space hop could be crazy

#

Villain pirate is his most used and popular fit tho

#

Im usign HSR but its better to use revenge tech, and replace afo with tech toga

covert juniper
#

ok hold on revenge rapid is actually pretty good on compress

#

It gives you more air time on gamma

#

doesnt make gamma faster, but makes the exit out of the marble much faster

#

I dont think its worth still tho

#

compared to muscle

torn herald
#

Sounds like I'll suddenly start hoarding speed cards just so I can have that happen lol

I've been running Compress with highs speed replenishment and the civilian rescue. Playing as a support, and it has been working great.

#

I really hope they someday fix Compress' Alpha phasing through the floor

#

It's screwed me over so many times

covert juniper
#

or buggy SA

#

like tech dabis alpha(even tho it barely hits) can do dmg to u even if you block it

#

if u hold your team in the storm they can just fall out randomly

novel goblet
#

don't forget how his gamma sometimes shows compress' model instead of the marble

#

maybe the 2nd buggiest character in the game

covert juniper
#

hes buggy but still crazy strong

covert juniper
#

To be honest what really keeps me playing compress is his jump melee

#

It’s addicting

broken ferry
#

I like his playstyle

torn herald
# covert juniper It’s addicting

It's the arced curve throw with the marbles for me, makes predicting people easier. I do love a good match where I can predict everything

novel goblet
#

at least at short range

true gull
#

I just like to think I’m skipping rocks when I’m fighting, until alpha 7 that is. Then I’m skipping tanks.

#

Aim assist can make it difficult too

#

Is Beta more responsive on higher frame rates?

covert juniper
#

Maybe? Because the frame to pull it out would be faster but it’s still a buggy ability anyway

#

Most the time even if you reflect stuff u still take damage

#

like tech dabi alpha, Tamaki gamma, sometimes blue ocha beta

novel goblet
#

i honestly dont understand how they can mess up that bad with his beta

true gull
#

Most of the time my beta works, I think. I’ll have to start recording

#

Hardest part of playing like a real support on compress is monitoring teammates on how quick they choose to take a fight. I guess I’m taking like a kurogiri playstyle farming the edges and slamming potions. If they die go in get em, revive. It extends my game to alpha 7 where I become a real villain

novel goblet
#

support for the majority of the game, and then go crazy in the final circles

#

in ranked at least

true gull
#

Yep yep, I don’t think I’ve had a negative game since I’ve just played compress tbh

true gull
#

No clue what that is lol

#

I’m expert 2 I think

#

I’m pretty casual tho, so not sure if that answers the question

covert juniper
#

Ah

true gull
#

Yeah, I don’t want to be misleading, I’m just an average player at best haha

#

The goal is to hit ace though, just for funsies

novel goblet
barren stratus
#

Buff compress gamma to just start a little faster

covert juniper
#

Does anyone here use the reinforced revive compress builds?

#

These are the only possible fits

#

Hero style could give Embrit, but fancy allows max gp

#

still both aren’t space hop, so give it a grain of salt

barren stratus
#

Does the alpha into melee work at every alpha level?

covert juniper
#

Wdym tho?

#

Like gp stun into melee?

barren stratus
#

An up close alpha into full melee string

covert juniper
#

It shouldn’t change anything

#

Really up to your marble accuracy

novel goblet

#

So hit marble then melee?

novel goblet

then melee

#

Oh that sounds fun

#

Been messing with compress cause he's honestly super fun

novel goblet
#

ive not been able to play yet

#

how bad is it

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

tech mirio seems disgustingly broken from what ive seen

covert juniper
#

Ohh

#

He gets his parry ability back instantly, there’s no way to kill him as compress

#

And levels seem weird, I don’t know how u get them

novel goblet
covert juniper
#

but they did that on purpose sadly

#

broke base form to make her big form her intire kit

torn herald
covert juniper
#

He’s the compress “counter” in theory

#

but if you can bait his gamma you can kill him easily

#

But he can bait your reflect into a easy gamma

torn herald
#

For me it's a matter of patience

#

He can't do anything to us in the air unless he uses the counter

#

So if I bait him into the air he's vulnerable for a short moment, which is all I need

#

Orrrr

#

Have them charge at you with his gamma and just throw a ton of trucks above yourself

#

Always works against hyper aggressive opponents, and it deletes their gp and hp

proven palm
#

If you block a mirio alpha

#

Can't he counter the reflection

#

(Assuming it reflects, I haven't tried yet)

covert juniper
#

I’ve had it happen sadly

proven palm
#

Great 🥲

#

I wonder

#

I've not gotten to play against him, but could you bait Mirio's Gamma with a gamma of your own

Tech Mirio just hard counters Compress’s entire kit, unfortunately.

I've seen it for myself now

there is actually nothing to be done

@novel goblet I just thought of a strat

#

what if

#

We like make a discord server for compress players

#

and compress stuff like mods, techs, and different clips

hmm

im not sure how worthwhile it would be

there's not many compress mains

What’s compress level up route?

He goes in everywhere and says level seven alpha level nine gamma

i learned a lot fighting duch

#

even if you get tossed around, its a great opportunity to reflect on what you can do better

lime glen
#

I’m going to learn that I get overwhelmed easily by a bunch of projectiles

#

Something I already knew

main orchid
#

you just need to play aggressive into compress. who were you planning to play as?

#

he gets overwhelmed by armored characters.

#

assault kendo bullies him pretty hard believe it or not.

main orchid
#

since its a little harder for compress to land shots on targets in the air

lime glen
#

Also, if I miss an alpha (which my aim sucks by the way) I am locked in place and easy to shoot down

main orchid
#

ibara kind of just gets bullied regardless in 1v1s, so thats more of a character diff than anything

main orchid
#

asschaco sucks as well.

torn herald
torn herald
# main orchid i wonder how space hop ibara would fair against him

Depends on the Ibara in question, in my case it's easier for me to fight opponents using space hop since they're easier to predict and delete. If Space hop is their only aerial movement, they're more of a sitting duck in the air. In other words, a target that's easier to hit.

Im gonna lose it

#

tech mirio is such a crazy counter

#

Like we have no safe tool to fight him

#

he can counter gamma, beta, and alpha

#

cant even use movement without losing everything

torn herald
#

There's a bunch of bugs that have resurfaced from what I've heard

covert juniper
#

I haven’t played a ton since the new update

torn herald
#

Just a bunch of things that put the game in a horrible state rn

drowsy lichen
#

Yeah umm

#

Fighting tech mirio is a terrible experience for compress

covert juniper
#

no escape

#

cant even use gamma

novel goblet
#

it's not practical in the slightest, but the best chance to counter him is close-range from punishing his gamma

#

it really is an atrocious matchup though

drowsy lichen
#

Fighting against a competent tech mirio is annoying

covert juniper
daring jay
main orchid
#

thats my thoughts

#

discuss amongst yourselves now

covert juniper
#

The wording is just confusing me a lil

daring jay
#

In favor of Kendo

#

If they abuse alpha too much compress can very easily turn that against them

#

And on PC, that was the norm

covert juniper
daring jay
#

Nowadays I'm not so sure you get to talk about that very often at all

main orchid
#

they should buff kendo and compress

daring jay
#

The gap is probably less than I'm giving it tbh depending on how alpha heavy assault kendo is, alpha glides and their faster ground mobility allow them to catch up with you but you have a good amount of answers to everything except clap

#

WR probably also skyrockets in your favor if you are at a midrange where they can't hit you well

#

It's a bad MU if kendo is on top of you, which can happen, sneak attacks are very common in this game

covert juniper
#

And I enjoy compress melee so it’s just about timings

#

On pc it’s easy to dodge in time

daring jay
covert juniper
daring jay
#

Getting close just gives the kendo more options

daring jay
drowsy lichen
#

Kinda solves that issue

daring jay
drowsy lichen
#

I've been using Tech Mirio tuning and Space Hop

#

On his pirate outfit

daring jay
#

When I was playing out that MU on paper tuning wasn't even a thing, and I couldn't play when space hop was a thing

#

It was like.... season 4 or 5 I think when I really started getting in depth into that MU specifically because of Cofi's Kendo

#

I'd have to go back to take a look at cofi's twitch VODs and see when I was doing that for more specifics but I think that's the right timeframe

#

It will always remind me of the horrors of triple assault comps

covert juniper
daring jay
covert juniper
daring jay
#

If going senile = haven't played past season 9, then yes

#

If it's about assault comps dominating the game in season 4, I'll have to remind you they specifically nerfed the assault passive in several ways after season 4 and these things are still in their nerfed state today, the game has been permanently scarred by that meta

covert juniper
daring jay
#

I also had a heat disguise: sweater with divine protection on it, I don't remember the other slot

covert juniper
#

I’m surprised ur somewhat active here, even if you don’t play anymore

daring jay
#

I didn't stop playing because of the game either, I love this game

#

I just couldn't play anymore

daring jay
#

Okay it's hero style, green yellow

#

So I think divine protection and embrittle was what I used

#

Frankly back in the day, sisterly and revenge tech would've easily been better on dangerous suit

#

I just really liked embrittle for ToDs

covert juniper
#

The only problem with Embrit, is because it’s like 4 dmg for every 40 dmg

#

Or it’s less

#

It gives like 10 more dmg when doing a alpha, so I mean it’s not terrible

daring jay
#

It was way better then

covert juniper
#

That’s when sisterly + Embrit was great

daring jay
#

Thing about that is, sisterly was 50% back then

covert juniper
#

but now its bottom 10 builds on compress

daring jay
#

Which easily made it the better of the two

covert juniper
#

If it’s not space hop, I don’t want it!

#

I might start development on the compress server

daring jay
#

I would still consider using divine protection embrittle if it weren't for the down power nerfs

#

I need to find a set that can use divine protection and something else, I love opening big boxes really quickly for easy loot

#

I'm thinking fancy suit with divine protection perception is the best choice I got once I come back to play specifically divine protection

covert juniper

#

i wanna try revenge rapid on compress so badly

torn herald
#

It's hit or miss in my experience, but you may find success with it

covert juniper
#

My experience with it was minimal

#

It does make a difference in the exit of gamma and somewhat gives more air time

#

But it’s so minimal that if you haven’t played compress a lot u wouldn’t notice

if you tried parrying it more than likely you just mistimed it

yeah I was just trying to escape from the wake up catches but I ate one after another lmao

teleport is useless against him and I couldn't manage to fend off the alphas with the beta

watching pc compress players makes me kinda jealous

i cant explain it, but aiming the alpha looks a lot more satisfying
