Mr. Compress

[novel goblet]

Seriously?

I can't tell whether you're joking

I'm kinda slow

[golden cloud]

No he genuinely can deflect his get off me

[golden cloud]

Hello endeavour!!

[covert juniper]

I don’t think this is true

even if it is true, it wouldn’t be worth to get close against overhaul

[novel goblet]

I'm gonna have to test this in training sometimes

If it's true that's really absurd

[covert juniper]

Twice and overhaul are easy kill, but can turn the tide of battle if you get in close range

[novel goblet]

wtf

[golden cloud]

Yup!

[drowsy lichen]

He can block strike shoto beta

[golden cloud]

A little bit of misdirection

[covert juniper]

No

I decline

https://tenor.com/view/angry-gif-6367919497800974711

[drowsy lichen]

You can test it out

[main orchid]

@covert juniper you can block ibara alpha make sure you beta against every ibara you see now

[covert juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/tomo-chan-tomo-chan-wa-onnanoko-tomo-chan-is-a-girl-トモちゃんは女の子-tomo-aizawa-gif-27418595

[novel goblet]

It took a while, but it's done

hopefully 100% accurate this time

[golden cloud]

Revered hawks alpha is actually scary

30dmg per shot

[novel goblet]

It could be worse if every shot got reflected

[drowsy lichen]

Totally balanced reflect damage

[drowsy lichen]

Taught the rock a valuable lesson

[drowsy lichen]

There was nothing he could do

[golden cloud]

We should get a season dedicated to the leauge

[novel goblet]

if alpha and gamma didn't need them so much, id love to max out beta first on compress

[covert juniper]

I honestly just don’t upgrade beta past 4

It’s a good ability

But imo it’s used for mental games more then actual reflects (in ace lobbies)

[torn herald]

^^

And in some cases, the small speed boost it gives which I use to cross small gaps when jumping.

[novel goblet]

i just saw a compress get bullied by tech mirio in the qualifiers

this is painful to watch

[covert juniper]

How were you watching them? From a player?

I heard there was 13 compresses

Surprised they played him, because of the high pick rate for his counters

[novel goblet]

zol livestreamed them

[novel goblet]

im pretty sure i have a list somewhere

he was decently high up

assault endy being that low surprised me quite a lot ngl

[covert juniper]

Why was hawks chosen that much?

And that’s a very high pick rate for assault ocha

[novel goblet]

yeah, these confused me a lot

assault kirishima seems weirdly high as well

[covert juniper]

I guess there’s not a 100% need for meta only, but it surprised me

[golden cloud]

I inspire people trust

[covert juniper]

hawks is bad!

[lime glen]

Compress question because I remember he existed

What’s the point in the ammo or HP value on the beta?

Like I never see it go down

[covert juniper]

hp value?

Oh

it does go down, but it only uses it when you parry not reload

It uses most the charge on afo hold alpha

[lime glen]

Yeah like how kendo beta can only block but so much damage before going down

Assault kendo

[covert juniper]

Yeah, it’s supposed to be a shield that doesn’t break

So I don’t think you will ever see it happen

It prob shouldn’t have a reload

But the only time I’ve had it break was againt hackers

[golden cloud]

But im not hehe

[novel goblet]

ive been playing assault kendo a lot

and ive just played compress for the first time in a while

and it's made me realise

his melee 1 seriously needs a buff

it's the only character ive had people roll out of the basic melee1-melee1-melee1-etc combo

[lime glen]

I didn’t even know it could

[main orchid]

no hes mta

meta

not ragebait

delete hawks

[covert juniper]

I honestly don’t use m1 string anymore

I usually only use jump melees now

[novel goblet]

ah

[novel goblet]

i dont understand how you use air melees consistently

i only use it for mobility+gamma tracking now

[covert juniper]

Hmm, idk. Amiss combat I’m always jumping so getting jump melees off keeps momentum and guarantees gaurd or ko

It’s why I honestly don’t use melee cancel too much

Just because jump melees reeps the same reward and keeps momentum

But the only down side is that you gotta make sure your paying attention to your surroundings and don’t stun ur self mid air in a non cancelable move

[novel goblet]

interesting

now that im thinking about it, air melees probably make more sense for ranked/teams

but im mostly in solos, so i can usually combo without interruption

im ngl though, im a bit of a clip farmer so i try to melee cancel whenever since it looks flashy 😭

[covert juniper]

I have old footage of a game where I showed the air melee stuff, but it was pre compress alpha knockdown nerf

[covert juniper]

It does look flashy, but I just hate doing it. Kinda keeps me still for longer than I want, and I like doing stuff that keeps me in momentum. Also in ranked there’s so many things to keep in track that the timing of the melee cancel isn’t always a high priority

It’s instinct to do it on time nowadays, but it’s always in the back in my mind that I might miss time it

[novel goblet]

I would've loved if they lowered the melee dp values when they increased the alpha's. Would've removed the spam people complain about, but increased his short range combat to be more interesting

[novel goblet]

I am done playing ranked once I hit ace

solo queue is horrendous

apart from on my alt, i exclusively play solos

[covert juniper]

Ah, I like to stay top 500, but I’ve lost a little motivation at the end of this season

My kd I average and my win rate could be better tho

3.76 and 1/3 winrate

[novel goblet]

i used to be a disgusting ranked goblin

[covert juniper]

It would make the boxing build much more fun

[novel goblet]

but i quit since it was exhausting and i wasn't really having fun anymore

[covert juniper]

168k is top 11?!?

[novel goblet]

this was early season

i think

[covert juniper]

Oh

I was about to say, what kinda demons are on pc

[novel goblet]

most of the top xbox players either triple stack without crossplay or just grind bot lobbies

[covert juniper]

Yeah I think ima do that next season, and not worry about how people think of me

[covert juniper]

The ones on pc are just hackers 💔

[novel goblet]

i had a feeling 😭

bykings moderation is horrendous

[covert juniper]

Yeah, that’s my biggest tug on this game

Some people compliment the way these devs are doing things

But I will never respect them untill they fix the hackers in brackets

[novel goblet]

even xbox isn't safe anymore

the n.2 agency on here is an exploiting one

[covert juniper]

How?

[novel goblet]

i have no clue

i think it's got something to do with cloud gaming

but im not too sure

either way, i dont believe an agency with only eight members gained the #2 spot fairly

[covert juniper]

Maybe if people are joining with points donating and then leaving

but then they wouldn’t be highest in mvp

[novel goblet]

yeah

it's strange

[covert juniper]

Anyone use crit perm compress yet?

[lime glen]

Free gamma away

[covert juniper]

true + heal

[lime glen]

Or if you’re cocky, you can use it to delete your opponents entire GP

[lime glen]

You only have enough time with a max crit perm to get one big gp till your out of it

[marsh storm]

"only"

[lime glen]

As soon as you’re finished, it’s gone

Meaning now you’re standing right in front of the enemy, who watched you drink that

[marsh storm]

tbf I didn't have a try to test it yet myself but it looks pretty op

also if combined with high speed replenishment it becomes even more silly

[main orchid]

i think its main strength across most characters is it allows you to stall until your cooldowns refresh

making you extra slippery

[marsh storm]

it does a lot of things

afaik there's even tech on toga where if you're transformed when your guard breaks, you can save the invincibility for when you untransform

[main orchid]

...

[lime glen]

It’s best use is using it to reposition yourself into a good spot or to get away and get your teammates to help you with your situation

[lime glen]

…

[drowsy lichen]

Would yall say that Compress is meta?

[golden cloud]

Sleeper pick

[drowsy lichen]

I think he's meta

[torn herald]

Definitely not

Underrated maybe, but nowhere close to meta

[novel goblet]

It depends on what you mean by meta

I'd say he's low A tier at best

His level reliancy hinders him too much, and his alpha/beta can be kinda janky

[covert juniper]

If we are talking about all maxed out, I think he’s top tier but not like top 10-15

[novel goblet]

🪤

[covert juniper]

Hawks

[main orchid]

i disagree

that was clearly a momo

[covert juniper]

Perchance

[amber laurel]

beta max

[covert juniper]

I did a challenge a bit ago where I could only win with beta

Took so long because half the game doesn’t even reflect 💔

[amber laurel]

tryn to learn how to get them to alpha me and also not miss. think i gota get broken shield to bait more or somethn idk lol

[novel goblet]

Double Rapid cards on Compress is actually insane

out of curiosity though

what cards do other people try and prioritize on compress

[covert juniper]

I just hold reload cards

And defense cards sometimes

[drowsy lichen]

I mainly prioritize reload cards

[daring jay]

Technical cards

2 purples makes trucks infinite for 10 seconds minimum while halving your gamma CD, can't really beat that

[shell salmon]

This character match up vs tech mirio is so bad

[drowsy lichen]

Yep

It's pretty much unwinnable against a competent tech mirio

[novel goblet]

Anyone have any changes they'd make to this list?

[covert juniper]

I’ve “heard” the rapid all might tuning is crazy

especially with the one space hop + rapid tuning build

I haven’t experienced it yet tho

I just heard it allows free gamma and more time to hit alphas

I’ll try it next season

I’d recommend the Shinso tuning down one tho

It’s just very meh, it can have worth maybe

But only 1-2 alphas of value

[drowsy lichen]

I'll just put this here

[covert juniper]

I just don’t have the tuning from Mirio yet

[novel goblet]

I genuinely have zero data for him

[novel goblet]

I also moved Assault Endeavor up, since I'm pretty sure while in PU Compress has infi Gamma

The only issue is, is that they rely on you actually gaining PU

[hollow wraith]

what tuning would you reccomend whic hwill help me use special action on teamates and manage to revive them without getting hit?

Or in fact how should i go about saving downed teamates?

[covert juniper]

Hmm

There’s two ways of going around this

Either froppy tuning or the new Mirio tuning

rapid allmight tuning is also a good option

[covert juniper]

I recommend not doing this very often, unless u know its possible

I wouldn’t recommend risking you life unless you feel there’s a slim chance

The best way to go around reviving in a crowd tho, is using your alpha as a crowd control and then in the confusion using sa and gamma

Very risky play but worth it, IF they didn’t know you were around

[hollow wraith]

But for either one if i use a skilll like gamma will it end the effect?

[covert juniper]

Yes

[covert juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/tomo-chan-tomo-chan-wa-onnanoko-tomo-chan-is-a-girl-トモちゃんは女の子-tomo-aizawa-gif-27418595

Not a good day

[novel goblet]

the new characters look disgustingly overpowered

i think it's a sign that they should nerf mt lady again

[drowsy lichen]

LMAO

She's been catching strays lately

[covert juniper]

Free flight afo, and 1 billion dmg aoe attacks

[novel goblet]

grounded characters are gonna love this season

Also, his Gamma actually pulls in opponents aswell as damaging them

No idea how to dodge this

[covert juniper]

Btw this exact frames show’d compress couldn’t absorb this atk

He held beta then was attacked

[main orchid]

they made this trailer just to spit in your face

[novel goblet]

I wanna stay loyal to my main for next season's ranked

But I also don't want to suffer

The new Deku does not look too good of a matchup for Compress

[covert juniper]

prob

[covert juniper]

I actually did make the compress sever, but ima build it up a lil first

[main orchid]

can i have mod?

[jade pond]

Incoming more yellow deku nerfs

[drowsy lichen]

They're gonna nerf every old skill set

[novel goblet]

This is honestly the least excited I've been for a season

Every match is just gonna be the new characters + Monoma

[torn herald]

Yup..

The way I see it this upcoming season is just aoe spam

[broken ferry]

Next season:
Who can survive the longest in a nuke only battle

[drowsy lichen]

💀

[covert juniper]

I’m excited!

[covert juniper]

@novel goblet they left compress out of the group photo 💔

I’m suing

[covert juniper]

Compress!!!

[novel goblet]

Even Overhaul is there wtfff 😭

[novel goblet]

Hoping the tuning is good

[covert juniper]

It has potential with the new tuning for deku

[covert juniper]

The new deku tuning increases atk speed and movement speed on melee

I think we can use space hop with this on a build

This one

[novel goblet]

I've been wanting to use revenge rapid once I get this outfit, but the other tuning sounds better

[covert juniper]

A LOT better

Seems op but we will see

[novel goblet]

Do we know what AFO's is yet?

Because Im excited to have something other than embrittle

[covert juniper]

Ok let me sit you down

it’s even more op for compress

Take a guess

[novel goblet]

I genuinely have no idea

But the icon looked something to do with reload speed

Increased reload speed upon breaking an opponents guard?

[covert juniper]

When you gaurd break someone you get faster reload

Yeppir

[novel goblet]

I thought so, it took a lot of brain power to figure that out lmao

Aggressive Compress

[covert juniper]

it seems so broken on compress

[novel goblet]

Depending on how long it lasts, it could be insane

Plus how much it boosts it by

Final circle will be stupidly fun with it

[covert juniper]

I think it’s the same as revenge tech

[novel goblet]

I'm curious on wth this gacha is gonna be

[covert juniper]

You pick 8 of the characters / skill sets and then you get a guaranteed one

[novel goblet]

That's actually extremely helpful

The fact that character tickets characters are there is kinda funny though

Wait why did like every launch character but Compress get DP changes on their air melee 😭

This isn't fair

[covert juniper]

Fr it’s sad to see

[novel goblet]

It's decent, but I'm really attached to Space Hop by now

Though, I have been wanting a build for Reinforced Revive on Compress

This is gonna be so disgusting on Compress

[novel goblet]

This is now even better, with Hawks' tuning

Arguably his best costume

[novel goblet]

@covert juniper they changed compress ' gamma

[golden cloud]

How so?

[novel goblet]

it's more controllable when you're released from the marble

ill send a clip soon

it's definitely a buff though

[golden cloud]

Heck yeah

Maybe it's just a big shadow patch

[golden cloud]

OH WOW

[novel goblet]

The clip is quite a bad example, but you get much more distance and control now

Oh my god

Melee tracking from Gamma is much more viable now

[novel goblet]

This is a much better example

[daring jay]

How good is the SA buff?

[novel goblet]

He had a SA buff?

I've not noticed anything yet

I actually just died while trying to use it

[novel goblet]

It's decent

I've just tested it in game

Nothing game changing, but still noce

nice*

[daring jay]

Is it closer to a deku/iida/allmight pickup now?

In terms of speed anyway

[novel goblet]

I'd say it is from what I've seen

[torn herald]

OH?

FINALLY THEY DID IT

[main orchid]

this is insane

i love it

[novel goblet]

I've got so many clips with Compress Gamma

[covert juniper]

Can’t wait to use it

Does it get affected by rapid cards, rapid deku tuning, or revenge rapid?

[novel goblet]

I'll test it

This might be one of the best buffs Compress has gotten

[novel goblet]

rapid cards don't seem to help

not sure about deku's tuning though

[novel goblet]

This just unironically feels like cheating

[true gull]

Built dif

[main orchid]

THIS IS GROSS 😭

[novel goblet]

Compress is finally getting the buffs he deserved

[drowsy lichen]

He got shadow buffed

I hope this was intentional

[heavy tusk]

It's an overrall buff to movement speed in the air in general for a lot of characters . The grounded characters tho ....... ..

[covert juniper]

I gotta hop on and try it

It looks like strafing

[heavy tusk]

Yeah mr.compress just gets the most benefit because his ability lunges him and he gains momentum.
It's broken on rapid ocha tho 🥹

[covert juniper]

Noooo, not a ocha buff 💔

[heavy tusk]

Yeah hopefully this promotes more aerial battles and even if it doesn't it's pretty fun.

[hollow wraith]

Might have to hop on compress

Anyone know if his new sa is better?

[covert juniper]

https://medal.tv/games/my-hero-ultra-rumble/clips/laCm8sZNoNsZm6mWF?invite=cr-MSxFRFYsMzU1MzIzNzY0

I love this update

[drowsy storm]

which outfit

and is that first slot villian....

oh nvm

its not

but lmk which fit 😋

[hollow wraith]

Omd 🤣😭

[covert juniper]

I reccomend this fit

this is what Im running

[drowsy storm]

i hear acceleration lvl 10 has a 40 sec cd vs lvl which has a 20 sec cd

[covert juniper]

oh is that true?

still I think space hop will make a differnce there

and I only get melees around every 30 seconds

[covert juniper]

compress gotta be top 3 now

[drowsy lichen]

Sadly no

[covert juniper]

From playing today it feels like he has almost no counters now, like I can’t be hit

I have a 20kd 20 matches played

Especially with space hop and the new tuning

[drowsy lichen]

Rn Ochaco is top 1 imo
Every character has so much control

Rapid Ochaco

[drowsy lichen]

Yeah I've been using him it's crazy

[humble sorrel]

@covert juniper As promised I'd try him out this season

[covert juniper]

Yay!

Use him in cursed customs

[humble sorrel]

But I don't want to join his customs they look extremely sweaty

Getting Ace rank every season is sweaty enough as is

[covert juniper]

Nooo, they are sweaty but fun still!

[humble sorrel]

No thanks

[true gull]

i gotta get in there, eventually lol

[novel goblet]

wtfff

im having to solo queue so ive got a kd of 3

but a stupid amount of support points

since randoms are awful

[covert juniper]

Oh I don’t usually solo Que that often

[novel goblet]

i almost exclusively solo queue

it's torture

[covert juniper]

@novel goblet what does this mean?

[novel goblet]

I saw something about this, but I've not noticed a difference for Compress yet

[covert juniper]

Me neither

Is it a tracking thing? Or a down power thing?

[novel goblet]

I honestly have no idea

I think it might have something to do with the new momentum stuff

Shiggy's Gamma now can't be comboed into his SA

[covert juniper]

I thought that always happened?

[novel goblet]

No, you used to be able to combo gamma-special action

it was kinda janky, but it was a think

thing*

[covert juniper]

Ah

So would this just be related to the new air time thing?

But then how would it work with momo

[drowsy lichen]

Air melee down power is now 100 for most characters

[covert juniper]

Oh?

Does that extend compress combos?

[drowsy lichen]

It should

[drowsy storm]

i love the new compress movement

[ruby cave]

thats everyone

[novel goblet]

The special action buff is stupidly good

[covert juniper]

Yeppir, the timing is so fast now

[drowsy lichen]

I gotta test it out

[novel goblet]

Strange

Compress' SA doesn't count as a "Cooperative Action" in the battle record

[solar pagoda]

Any one have tuning for hawks?

[lime glen]

What tuning do I run with the compress ranked skin?

[covert juniper]

What?

[covert juniper]

Wdym?

[lime glen]

Villain pirates

What tuning do I run and which skin?

[covert juniper]

Ah

Base one

Space hop + crit perm

[lime glen]

I swore I remember you saying to run fixer on it

[covert juniper]

No!!

I hate fixer on him

It’s a waste

[lime glen]

Really?

Why?

[covert juniper]

Doesn’t get value like the others

[lime glen]

Welp he’s fully tuned

Time to go on my compress arc

[drowsy lichen]

Since young AFO is releasing soon

Gonna make another build for Compress when AFO releases

[humble sorrel]

@covert juniper Are you proud of me

[covert juniper]

Amazing!

[humble sorrel]

Hurray!

[torn herald]

We love to see it

[novel goblet]

His base Cyberpunk can run Space Hop + QFR

[humble sorrel]

Yes we do

[novel goblet]

Have you tested it in game yet?

How good is the tuning

[covert juniper]

It’s very good

Really helps the speed we get

But I kinda hate the new gamma, when playing it more and more

I miss a lot of my mid air alphas now

[drowsy lichen]

You'll get used to it

[drowsy storm]

compress might be in top 10

[drowsy lichen]

I agree

[novel goblet]

His only issue is level reliancy

Plus, his early game isn't too good

[pliant flax]

Any good builds for his league of villains suit?

[torn herald]

^^

This one too ^^

[pliant flax]

That technical one looks really interesting

Maybe I could try acceleration on it

[covert juniper]

I recommend acceleration over his purple tunings

Acceleration is blue ofc

But purple is his most “popular” special tuning for most compress plaques

There’s only one fit that makes it work, but it’s what I’ve been using all season

[drowsy lichen]

I honestly think he's top 10 this season

[covert juniper]

Def

[ruby cave]

wat do you sugg w this costume setup

[pliant flax]

Blue league of villains?

Currently I’m using the strike build

With the yellow version

It’s super fun tbh

If I bought the blue version then it would be my first time using acceleration

[covert juniper]

That was my build for a while

Will power/crushiing pu and space hop

Now I’m using acceleration + space hop

[covert juniper]

Ok lemme find the photo I have

[novel goblet]

Does anyone else feel like their beta just sometimes doesn't work

Like you hold the button, but the shield just doesn't appear

Especially while you're being shot at by a fast firing projectile

[covert juniper]

Yes

It happens a lot after exiting gamma

And beta still has a terrible hit box

[covert juniper]

These are two variants I run

[covert juniper]

does anyone know this #1 compress guy?

I want to give him actuall good tunings

[drowsy lichen]

Ehh

These fake Compress players

[covert juniper]

They are easy kills, because they don’t have the right tunings

[torn herald]

I feel like I've run into them before but they weren't living up to the title they decided to give themselves

But on discord? Haven't met them at all

[covert juniper]

I wish I could help

Because the title doesn’t live up to expectations

With those tunings

[novel goblet]

What happened to the poor guy 😭

Why's he horizontal

[covert juniper]

He called himself #1 compress, and I didn’t appreciate the title

[novel goblet]

I find a lot of people try and call themself "#1 ___" on characters who aren't too played

I think that they think that because not many people play the character, they must be best

[novel goblet]

Also, I've seen a lot of people running this costume lately

Myself included

[covert juniper]

The red one?

[humble sorrel]

There's lots of players who name themselves the #1 [insert character here] and all they do is just make themselves a target 😂

[humble sorrel]

I use critical perm on the left slot

[covert juniper]

That’s the best tuning(I don’t have tech Mirio)

[humble sorrel]

Ah

My condolences

I hope you get data for him eventually at least

[drowsy lichen]

I use it

Definitely gets you outta situations

[covert juniper]

I think it’s a better willpower

[drowsy lichen]

I know

[humble sorrel]

It is

[novel goblet]

Purple and yellow

[covert juniper]

Ah, yeah I’ve been running it for a bit

The techy design and colors are cool

Like a bumble bee

[proven palm]

Somebody get a mod in here to pin this

[covert juniper]

didnt took make this?

[covert juniper]

There is NOT one mod who plays compress

[torn herald]

If memory serves, he did.

[novel goblet]

JP tier list I found, it's strange seeing Compress even be considered top 3

[covert juniper]

That’s soo cool tho

But crazy assault shig down play

[humble sorrel]

Ikr

[drowsy lichen]

This is awful

[drowsy storm]

Highkey yea

[covert juniper]

ok I found a compress build with 113 dmg alpha, and 148 dmg alphas with dmg cards

[covert juniper]

if u put revenge strike it does go to 155

but I think ability manifest just gives it more oomf

[drowsy lichen]

You don't have Assault Endeavor?

[covert juniper]

no

I didnt roll for him

[drowsy lichen]

I rolled for his tuning

[novel goblet]

"6" "6"

genuinely one of the worst feelings

[lime glen]

Hey so I’ve got news for yall

You CANNOT reflect the big young afo orb

[covert juniper]

Sadly I did see that in the trailer

[lime glen]

I experienced it first hand

On the bright side, it did block it

[novel goblet]

Which one?

His entire kit is just orbs now that I'm thinking about it 😭

[lime glen]

Hold beta

From the new one that’s about to come

[lime glen]

LMAO

[novel goblet]

Ah

To be fair, I wasn't expecting it to be reflectable

[hoary ether]

Compress needs a hard nerf on his alpha

[novel goblet]

It's hard to do without ruining his kit

[hoary ether]

Dude it's just annoying that the alpha doesn't put you down it just makes you block the whole time so it just constant hitting and it instant kills you

[novel goblet]

wdym block?

[hoary ether]

Sorry I don't mean to be rude but bro this is honestly annoying... https://medal.tv/games/my-hero-ultra-rumble/clips/lcz37qsiovAwy3mtY?invite=cr-MSxnMWgsMzg0MDM3MDMy&v=10

[novel goblet]

Ah, the GP stun

[hoary ether]

Full shield and health straight down to full shield gone and half health...😭

[novel goblet]

This might be controversial, but I think it's fair

His marble is the smallest projectile in the game, so hitting it should be rewarded

Plus, most characters could've done something similar. Considering you were vulnerable from your melee's endlag

[hoary ether]

Yeah that is true

[hoary ether]

It's just to me it's mad unfair and annoying considering it's a instant stun when it lands and instant death, no invincible state

[drowsy storm]

There's a lot of things unfair in this game

Including that

[marsh storm]

try to make sure your green health is always high when fighting compress cause the stun only works on shield but yeah, it's just one of the feel bad mechanics in this game, similar to rapid ochako's car stun that happens when she hits you on shield

[covert juniper]

I do feel he’s a little unfair now, and will be taking a small break from playing compress

But I’ll still answer all questions

[drowsy lichen]

The game is broken

Grounded characters feel awful to use this season

[novel goblet]

I've just found the best counter for Rapid Deku's Gamma

[drowsy lichen]

Ngl

Not hating but

I smell a bad omen for Compress incoming next season

Because of the sudden upsurge of Compress players

And JP players saying that he's top 1

[covert juniper]

Yeah it’s scary

[novel goblet]

I'm gonna be honest, I really don't like the Gamma buff

As a concept that is

I wish they focused more on his Beta and Melee

Or even Special Action

[drowsy lichen]

They did buff his special action

Never got to test it

[covert juniper]

It’s a very good buff but most won’t prob notice it

[jade pond]

Compress arc running rampant w/ the community this season when bro has always been this good 😭

https://tenor.com/view/atsuhiro-sako-mr-compress-bhna-mr-compress-mha-mr-compress-atsuhiro-sako-mha-gif-10459844253338381463

[torn herald]

And then all the people who jump from Meta to Meta suddenly want to be Compress players because he's "broken" 😔

[drowsy lichen]

Yeah

[drowsy storm]

this mf gif 😭

[ruby cave]

theyre actually my friend thats hilarious

what tunings do you suggest xd

[drowsy storm]

wasnt aware that he was able to infinite stall without float lol

[covert juniper]

space hop + willpower, space hop + crit perm, or space hop + acceleration

[ruby cave]

this is the only suit i personally got, worth?

[covert juniper]

This outfit allows space hop + revenge tech or crit perm

Both very good purple tunings

I don’t own crit perm data, but if you have it use it

[ruby cave]

will do

bro the icons threw me for a loop

[covert juniper]

Oh, I’m so used to them it feels normal lol

[ruby cave]

xd

mecha all might mod feelin normal

[covert juniper]

If you have yellow endeavor use his tuning instead of kendo or all might

[ruby cave]

ayo

[covert juniper]

fire

Should be almost invincible

[marsh storm]

actually question

why melee defense over beta defense?

[ruby cave]

deku probs

everyone hate deku

[covert juniper]

Deku, and honestly defense tunings imo don’t matter all too much unless your focused on a sisterly build/defense card build

[marsh storm]

hmmmmm

gotcha

I think on most characters alpha defense is pretty valuable still

but compress has beta against a lot of alphas

so it's not as important for him

that's my opinion at least

I can accept 4 yellow slots if I can equip endeavor almight kiri shiggy typically

would rather have damage ofc but can easily live with that

[covert juniper]

I just don’t remember how useful the yellow slots were on tuning, I honestly usually just put whatever I think about in the moment for them

Dmg, reload, and rapid slots I look at more

[marsh storm]

yellow cancel the same red tunes, think of it that way

all might cancels enemy's endeavor tune for example

[covert juniper]

true

[daring jay]

I'm not too sure but isn't the rapid deku combo based on gamma extension?

Why are you buffing for a stat that you don't care to block in that case

Or is that his melee that's being enhanced

[ruby cave]

i figured it was melee considering the tuning stuff and you gotta melee to do the combo thing

[drowsy lichen]

Man

Can't build another space hop build

Not enough character data

[daring jay]

I thought it was attached to gamma tbh

[covert juniper]

It resets cooldown on melee

And his melee is his Tod for some reasonb

[drowsy lichen]

???

[covert juniper]

I’m taking about rapid deku

[drowsy lichen]

Oh

[timber hollow]

A9 first or G9 first

[jade pond]

Another great special tuning for compress builds

[drowsy storm]

a7 g9

g9 is for pacifists

[timber hollow]

i've actually been enjoying g9 just for the survivability. it helps cuz endgame is being reached FAST in this game. I also find lots of alpha cards anyway

I think being able to escape is better than more offense

[timber hollow]

Guys what tuning is best for compress?? i'm thinking critical permeation and space hop/ full burn?

[novel goblet]

Honestly anything w Space Hop is good

[timber hollow]

alr

[covert juniper]

My best game so far this season is 14kos 13k dmg

But I haven’t been playing much ranked after I got ace

Because I wanna keep that cool looking kd

[novel goblet]

Do you guys think Compress is top tier yet?

[covert juniper]

I believe he is

When I play him, I feel like there really is no counter to him

[humble sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/foolishest-thefoolishest-mha-my-hero-academia-deku-gif-11575454604071033577

[covert juniper]

No not yet, for now he’s easy to kill

On compress I mean

When I play like assualt deku he’s a little hard to kill

[humble sorrel]

I see

[jade pond]

Yes. and the movement change makes him even more op

And the thing is, Compress has always been good

[novel goblet]

Interesting

I personally don't think he's Rapid Deku tier yet

[daring jay]

Except season 1

We don't talk about season 1.

🙂

[jade pond]

No rapid deku has killed me yet while I've played Compress

max gamma and trucks, game is just easy mode

https://tenor.com/view/mr-compress-atsuhiro-sako-mha-compress-gif-26476807

[daring jay]

So many balance changes have compounded to make this character nearly unstoppable

[novel goblet]

Rapid Deku isn't actually too bad of a matchup for Compress

Surprisingly

The only annoying thing is when he third parties you with his Gamma

Since Compress is a very airborne character

[jade pond]

I do love playing Compress though. He's one of my favorites. Bro is an actual third party demon

[humble sorrel]

He really is

[timber hollow]

compress has been so fun recently

Is space hop good on compress?? how does it help??

is it easier to throw his trucks

[covert juniper]

It allows him to get height without having to waste gamma or be stunned in a gamma animation

It’s his best tuning imo

[timber hollow]

Wow okay.

Space hop with what??

maybe not reinforced revive cuz i rarely get rezzes off and i would just die for it so i never go in for rezzes

OHHH WALL RUNNER so i don't have to use my gamma ALL the time

Okay so rn without space hop i've been doing g9 first so i have more movement and height, but with wallrunner AND space hop i think i can do a7 and then g9 for more early game utility

[timber hollow]

For compress these are the only two options i have

Space hop + spiraling leap
Wall runner + spiraling leap

Which one do i do? i would want wall runner and space hop but no costume

[sage sluice]

yes its nice to get the full alpha dmg

[timber hollow]

as in having a vertical view on them helps u hit the alphas??

are the trucks the thing that stuns or the orbs they come in

[sage sluice]

i had 2 tunings before and tried wallrunner/ red kiri + spacehop/ twice tuning on him but it didnt feel that good
couple of days ago i tried wallrunner + tech mirio and im pretty happy

[sage sluice]

if you do alpha from above you hit both alpha instances

but you dont really need it tho

personally i prefer wallrunner+ tech mirio because wallrunner helps out a lot cause early movement can be hard with only 1 gamma

and tech mirio helps a lot for stalling your gamma

[timber hollow]

I don't rlly like tech mirios, most of the time i get guard broken from a knock down move so i only have time to pop a small pot

[timber hollow]

Ohhhhh wait this is true

[sage sluice]

thats enough
you drink 1 small and stall for gamma and you jump

[timber hollow]

But what about the verticality with space hop

[sage sluice]

you cant drink 1 big in general when mirio tuning procs

sometimes you can try if enemy ignoring you

[timber hollow]

Oh well that's surprisingly good

[sage sluice]

but tech mirio helps a lot

[timber hollow]

So tech mirio is better than space hop

for compress

[sage sluice]

basically you proc mirio tuning -> drink one little blue potion > wait 2-3 sec for gamma and jump

[sage sluice]

i mean both are different tunings

as for movement tuning i would pick wallrunner

cause you can do a lot more

like jumping on buildings around and wait for gamma charge

[timber hollow]

Trueeee and i know the wall running high jump tech

[sage sluice]

i think tech mirio tuning is a must have for compress

red kiri can work as well but you have better usage of tech mirio

but dont forget that you can still die with mirio tuning

[timber hollow]

but does gamma come back in like 2 seconds? is it enough time

[sage sluice]

if you get caught by a big hit dmg quirk you can die instant

[timber hollow]

i don't like wil power, they can just camp ur wakeup

[sage sluice]

but if you play it correctly you wont die

[sage sluice]

excatly

[timber hollow]

Oh yeah.... ok i need to have full hp then

[sage sluice]

you dont die in first place if you have gamma up

[timber hollow]

so then wall runner + tech mirio it is! thank you so much

[sage sluice]

my personal preference yes

rn

https://medal.tv/de/games/my-hero-ultra-rumble/clips/ldkIm5tXoU7v-QMCp?invite=cr-MSxJSWgsMzM2MzM4OTg3&v=0

this is an example for the mirio tuning

@timber hollow

i also try to use wallrunner even tho if i have gamma up

just to keep gamma for emergency

[timber hollow]

Smarttt

But i like to use gamma when there's a big team fight and i NEED to stay in the air

But for traversing or escaping u mean u use wall runner then

[sage sluice]

the new movement change is also nice for compress
as you can see in the clip you can stay in the air for a long time

[sage sluice]

yea if there are some buildings
the most use you get early game

you keep the 1 gamma charge

for escape

most of the time

you can even play alpha 7 and gamma 1 the whole game if you have wallrunner

helps out a lot

i would play spacehop if we had 2 charges from the beginning

otherwise wallrunner is the play for me

[timber hollow]

Oki tysm

[timber hollow]

Btw does spiraling leap boost the wall runner high jump? @sage sluice

[sage sluice]

no

its not good at all

even if it would its not worth using 2 tunings for movement

[torn herald]

It's alright, good for people who are new to Compress, but I don't recommend it long-term.

[drowsy lichen]

I had to 1v3

[verbal aurora]

im thinking of running tech mirio + overhaul for tuning

[marsh storm]

@minor aspen this you?

@novel goblet

sorry wrong ping 😭

[novel goblet]

I had a feeling this was you lmao

Good luck

[marsh storm]

yeah hahaha gl

[marsh storm]

my friend said I killed you but I had no idea how, oooooooooooooooooooooh wait was it cause I hit one alpha on you in storm and you died to storm 😭

[novel goblet]

I think I tripped on the end of your gamma as you were leaving storm

[marsh storm]

oh x.x

[novel goblet]

Though I was gonna die in storm either way

[marsh storm]

gotcha

[novel goblet]

Ggs though ^^

[marsh storm]

ggs ^^

[covert juniper]

What’s y’all’s kd so far

[novel goblet]

2.5

Sadly

I've been random queuing so I have to play pretty supportively

[sage sluice]

Can work but wont be easy to revive your mates and you will die a lot too

[verbal aurora]

That’s why you use tech mirio tuning…

[sage sluice]

its still risky to die for the revive

i already tried that

[novel goblet]

I'm not sure about others, but I've been consistently getting like two-ish revives each game in ranked this season

The Special Action buff was stupidly underrated

[sage sluice]

didnt feel that much of a impact

but im still trying to use it more often

[novel goblet]

I noticed a major impact, though I think I attempt to use his SA more than the average person

I feel guilty if I let my teammates die

Especially if I'm queueing with people

[sage sluice]

in higher lobbys it gets difficult to do so

but i know its faster

[covert juniper]

I usually just don’t revive at all tbh, a bad habit. I usually prioritize the win over my teammates survivability

I only revive when I can find a opening

[novel goblet]

Interesting

I don't really find myself struggling to revive, even in ranked

Whenever I try, it's usually an 80% success rate

My teammate is a bigger issue than the enemy, because they seem to love jumping out mid gamma

[sage sluice]

i mean it works well if you got a good 3 stack

that tuning is not worth using in solo q

[shrewd cairn]

Hi there, I want to tune up my Compress, but I don't have a skin that would allow me to put both Wallrunner and tech Mirio. That did sound like a great idea too, so I'm kinda bumed. What else could I do? I have the suit, cyberpunk (except the last color) and pirate skins available.

Should I prioritize tech mirio or wallrunner?

I really have no idea what would benefit him the most

Maybe tech mirio and space hop? That doesn't sound nearly as nice as tech mirio wallrunner but it's something ig

[covert juniper]

Please don’t use wall runner

I know it’s hard to stop using it after you use it once

But compress and wall runner isn’t the best duo

[covert juniper]

Tech Mirio and space hop is his top 3 build atm imo

[shrewd cairn]

I saw you vid LOL

I don't really "need" wallrunner and I'm more bored of it than anything but I want to play what's best

So I was reading what was going on here

[covert juniper]

when the new afo releases the best build will be the young afo tuning + space hop

but for now

my favorite is acceleration + space hop

will power/all strike tunings + space hop

crit perm + space hop

[sage sluice]

actually it is but for most people it can be difficult to make the best use of it
if i play in really good lobbys i cant do much early game and 1 gamma charge wont help me either
wallrunner gives me way better movement to get out of danger situations
its still good for lategame but helps out more until gamma 9
sometimes you dont get gamma 9 the whole game and wallrunner is a good replacement

wallrunner is always a good option for movement

its never wrong tho

but depending on the player it can be a better or worse use

[covert juniper]

hmm, I could see there being some use for wall runner, but compared to space hop it doesnt get the movement compress thrives for. When using space hop it allows you to jump into the air and get enough air time for a reload on gamma. Compress plays best in open areas so he thrives for quick tunings that can help him there. Thats why revenge tech is such an important tuning. Imo I never have a problem with his early game because his stun and melee is so oppresive. If you want to use wall runner, beware from my expience in ace lobbies with it. It can slow you down a lot more then speed up, like how its used on ocha, momo, or kendo

[sage sluice]

im pretty confident by saying i play in the highest skilled lobbys (EU)
and in those lobbys you dont have the time to loot that much every game
you will face of 3 stack players jumping on you and with 1 gamma charge and spacehop you are dead most likely
wallrunner gives me the option to do good maneuvers and stall for a gamma escape after
i did play a spacehop build with compress and it is really good with alpha but for me personally its a nice to have thingy but doesnt really help out on his weaknesses
tbf rev tech could work for a wallrunner replacement but the way i play with wallrunner is much better than getting a purple card after losing my shield
i do think those tunings you talked about works pretty fine in ranked but i try to create one that works also in scrims tourneys etc.

basically my idea with tech mirio tuning is to survive better and stall for gamma and wallrunner gives me a good alternative for movement until i get gamma 9

[covert juniper]

oh, I usually run these builds in the tourneys I play

I see what your saying tho

[sage sluice]

my build is made to survive basically xd

i lowkey want to make a overhaul tuning as an alternative cause today i did so many revives with my 3 stack team

[covert juniper]

Yeah from my time in EU lobbies looting can be difficult thats why I just focused on learning and hitting marble

Once I learned that space hop was the tuning for me

but Im more a dmg guy then survivablity guy

I use only attacking based tuning

[sage sluice]

i love spacehop in general

i tried on compress and it felt really nice

but i feel like wallrunner helps me out more in my situations i get in

[sage sluice]

yea thats the completely opposite

from my build

young afo tuning will be really good as well

you break shields so easily

[drowsy lichen]

Yep

Bad news though

I don't have enough Assault ochaco tuning data

So I can't make another space hop build

[shrewd cairn]

Space hop + Young Afo could be nice, basically the reload speed from Young Afo makes up for not having tech Mirio and is also nice for offense

[drowsy lichen]

I already have that build

[novel goblet]

I think I might've already asked this in the past, but does anyone else get the bug where Compress' marble phases through the floor

[burnt thistle]

Hey, does mr compress beta deflect rapid toga's gamma? A friend of mine says that he can deflect twice's beta but didnt test with rapid toga which is similar

[covert juniper]

Yes it does

Doesn’t reflect to say

But blocks and absorbs it

[meager trench]

What’s compress best build?

I have all his skins

I hear space hop is really good

[novel goblet]

Right now, it's probably his Pirate Costume with Space Hop + your choice of tech tuning (mostly critical permeation)

Though, once AFO releases, it'll probably be his Cyberpunk Costume with that + Space Hop

[torn herald]

Wall runner depends on the person imo

If you know how to utilize it correctly it can be useful

But outside of that I don't recommend it much

[shrewd cairn]

The double yellow build looks like it would have way less good small tunings

The pirate one with purple and yellow can fit 8 lvls of Y reload, 7 lvls of A reload, 10 lvls of A damage, 3 lvl of GP damage, and 6 lvl of Y damage
The Cyberpunk one will fit 7 lvl of A damage, 6 lvl of A reload, 3 lvl of Y reload, 4 lvl of GP damage and 4 lvl of Y damage.

And you don't have tech mirio.

Is it worth losing tech mirio for this?

Genuine question

Also I'm pretty sure we don't know much about Young AfO's tuning, I've only heard people talk about it on this server, so maybe it's crazy strong and not the same as a purple card idk

I don't know how much the 4th level of a tuning slot is worth so it's hard to figure out how much the difference is

I know lvl 3 stuff is 2%

For dmg and reload

[novel goblet]

It depends on how much you care for Tech Mirio

Though, I would say it's not worth it

It's a 1.025x damage increase

[novel goblet]

Two purple cards upon a guardbreak

[shrewd cairn]

Two purple cards? Hm ok

So 20%?

[novel goblet]

100%

[shrewd cairn]

what

ok

That's a lot lol

[novel goblet]

A Tech card gives you a 50% decrease I'm pretty sure

Yeah

[covert juniper]

I personally think its kinda person to person

I like acceleration + space hop

But will power + space is great too

[jade pond]

AFO special tuning is a 100% reload boost? Das insane

Thats better than revenge technical

[covert juniper]

I thought you were talking about tech afo for a second lol

[jade pond]

nah, I meant for the new young AFO special tuning. I should have clarified lol

[novel goblet]

How high would people here consider Compress' skill ceiling

[shrewd cairn]

I personally think it’s pretty high

He requires thinking, and Alpha aim is not free in a lot of situations

Yeah sometimes you’re in a good spot and you mash A and farm 1k damage in 2 seconds but that’s not all the time

And if we speak of ceiling then there’s a ton of decision making, reading the opp’ with the reflect, and hitting Alpha against mid-air characters

Compress is a character I feel like you can keep improving with for a long while

[robust thunder]

anyone have a budget build for a returning player season 1 player

[daring jay]

Highest in the entire game

They've been decimating his skill floor with all the recent buffs but the amount of things he can potentially do at any given moment are higher than any other character's, period

He can deal with almost any situation but it requires a strong, fundamental understanding of the character and how his matchups play out to do it, which I cannot say about a majority of characters

[novel goblet]

That's what I'm saying, though I'm not too sure whether it's the absolute highest

A lot of people seem to think he's got a low ceiling though

I don't think many people have seen Compress at his fullest potential

One of my Japanese mutuals on TikTok plays like this, and it's genuinely mesmerizing

I think I've sent his gameplay in here before

I seriously don't know how he does it

[daring jay]

I know when I get back on the game I'm going to play almost exactly like that

I didn't know about the melee cancel when I was playing though which would've been a gamechanger

I do think we're approaching the absolute limit of what he can do by himself

[novel goblet]

I've been limiting myself to only using boulders recently

It makes gameplay more entertaining, since I'm not just Gamma-Alphaing

And since I mostly play solos, I don't need to worry too much about my combos being interrupted

[daring jay]

I think I'm probably going to gamma max just to learn barrels

[novel goblet]

I've not been finding barrels too bad

Though a lot of Rapid Deku's are just kinda braindead, ngl

[daring jay]

Using trucks all the time can become a crutch and the biggest weakness of the character is something that can also be alleviated with proficiency in barrels

I had been introduced to this idea a long time ago by another friend who doesn't main the character, so I'm probably gonna enact on it either the season I come back or the season after

Also I think technically Monoma and Toga have the highest potential skill ceiling due to CD refreshes but those will almost never be used for any crazy combos bar like maybe a couple people trying them out, and compress can technically replicate it with a teammate in special action

[novel goblet]

Monoma, Toga and AFO will probably always have the highest skill ceiling, since they are kinda every character

[daring jay]

Except they really won't

Because being every character does not automatically create a high skill ceiling imo

The majority of the time, it is used just as a CD refresh or mobility, nothing more

The only one that might actually represent this concept of high skill ceiling because they can be any character is Monoma

Toga (specifically rapid) has a good enough kit that they don't need to optimize how they use their transformations, just their base kit

AFO kind of just wants to use it for some significant amount of mobility since he doesn't have a CD refresh anymore when using it

Compress' potential is logical and useful because he is generally situational, you need to learn it in order to play it well

[novel goblet]

Wouldn't that be their skill floor? I mean, I just think based on the fact that these characters can use every kit, puts them up there

Because that means they could have mastery of more than one character, and it'd still apply to that character

[daring jay]

It can apply but it rarely does, there is rarely a good applicable reason to learn beyond the skill floor

And to me, that's what matters about skill ceiling

Monoma I think is closer to this than any of the others because he kind of needs to, his normal kit is bad

And tech Toga too probably

[novel goblet]

Interesting take

[novel goblet]

One of his basic outfits can run Embrittlement + HP Sucker

I would consider that his best budget

[daring jay]

I think another thing about this is the amount of time you'd need to allocate to learn every single character's potential to make this a reality is just not feasible

And the solution ends up being to just learn the basics and maybe some higher level stuff on top tiers (or in the case of monoma, the characters your 3-stack will default to since you can always copy their stuff)

[torn herald]

And this is switch

I can confirm that the Jp players in Switch usually don't play around, they're pretty good at what they do

[modern olive]

can someone explain how to perform the melee cancel?

[covert juniper]

Atm I think it’s low

[covert juniper]

https://youtu.be/wdAtXuf0a0I?si=DHKMoHVbSxp-EYl_

[drowsy lichen]

https://youtube.com/shorts/7wrdgxWbJ5I?si=hf4ZFeZ3McP-uw1E

So use gamma when you hear "Overdrive"

[novel goblet]

Even better, just continuously fire Alphas upwards

You still get hit, but they get punished for like 300

[covert juniper]

I’ve done this a lot subconsciously

[drowsy storm]

Aizawa

[daring jay]

Yeah aizawa is pretty high up there

You kind of can't do the "easy" thing on aizawa as well as before and feed your teammates kills because of the DP changes to several characters

I still don't think it's as high as compress though

[jade pond]

I can't enjoy playing rapid deku in my solo Q ranked games but playing Compress.. has been my saving grace

I just need my new young AFO special tuning to release so I can complete my build

https://tenor.com/view/mr-compress-mr-compress-mha-sako-atsuhiro-atsuhiro-sako-my-hero-ultra-rumble-gif-6837821336606373932

[novel goblet]

What tunings are people gonna run for this costume?

[meager trench]

Is it even good?

[novel goblet]

I think it's decent

It has a slot for Reinforced

The other slot is a Rapid slot

[marsh storm]

reinforced/devine protection (revenge support) + acceleration/wallrunner, seems chill but not anything worth dropping space hop for me, though I haven't played him since movement patch

[covert juniper]

I don’t like support tunings

[novel goblet]

Me neither, but I've been wanting a costume that can run one for a while

[daring jay]

Considering that it is coming, I'd recommend hero style disguise sweater

4 damage subtunings with the ability to run support and assault villain tunings, it's the best one imo to run divine protection/reinforced revive on when it comes out

[unkempt sluice]

for my tuning I use the knitted disguise (dangerous) and I put emergency permeability + perseverance is it good for mister compress?

[covert juniper]

These words your using

Are you an AI?

[lime glen]

I’ll translate

I’m using this tuning costume and with I’m running critical permeation and indestructible (I think??? Idk what else perseverance could be) is it good for mr marble magic man

[shrewd cairn]

Bro is french and tunings have pretty different french names

[shrewd cairn]

Perseverance is Red Kiri

[lime glen]

How do you even put that on disguise dangerous?

[shrewd cairn]

Both the costumes and tuning have different names it’s super annoying

[shrewd cairn]

The special slots are red and purple

They are at the bottom of your screen shot

[lime glen]

I’ll admit that I’m wrong. I just thought it was like how it was in my hero ultra rumble where the special tunings are at the top.

[shrewd cairn]

Yeah that’s understandable don’t worry

[novel goblet]

I need one of his Gacha costumes so bad

[unkempt sluice]

Yes I am French

[covert juniper]

You don’t have either?

I got both off banner

[novel goblet]

I started in S7/8, and I don't think he's had a costume on a banner since

[jade pond]

This is the compress build I’m currently using. Mainly picked it up for the multiple damage tunings then soon realized divine protection is god tier. Especially in higher elo ranked lobbies.

[drowsy storm]

I'm probably gonna use the new fit and have reinforced acceleration

And then my other cyberpunk I already have built will probably change to space hop young afo

[drowsy lichen]

I don't have enough tuning data for space hop

[jade pond]

Young AFO special tuning going to be so good on Compress

[drowsy lichen]

It's really good

[novel goblet]

2.5 second reload speed I believe

It wouldn't be too practical, but I'd be tempted to stack Tech cards on top of that

[drowsy lichen]

It is practical

It's so easy to guard break someone with Compress

[broken ferry]

Hello, compress people what build do you recommend I run

I have all 3 cyberpunk and all 2. Pirate thanks

[novel goblet]

Pirate with Space Hop + Crit Permeation

Or any other tech tuning, if you for some reason prefer another

[broken ferry]

I don't have enough tech Mirio data but I can do space hop thanks for the tips just wanted to ask since I have limited data

[marsh storm]

cyberpunk might be very good in the future but you can't really go wrong with either

[novel goblet]

This has probably been asked here before, but what do people think of Compress' Alpha

In terms of balance

[covert juniper]

Just nerf dmg and aoe

I would love if it kept stun and became more aim reliant

[daring jay]

wrong thing to focus on, gamma is more problematic imo

gamma superarmor was a mistake, alpha is perfectly rewarding and fine as is especially with the DP changes

[novel goblet]

This would drive away like 90% of console Compress players, ngl

But I see the vision

I think people don't realise what they really dislike about his Alpha

A lot of people complain about the stun, but don't realise it only occurs from the marble

I think people just find the size of the trucks extremely overwhelming, and don't know how to react

[novel goblet]

I agree with the Gamma needing to be nerfed, but I think the issue is the actual distance

I love the super armour, it allows it to be used more offensively

[daring jay]

The distance got massively buffed because of a global change, compress would probably either have to have a weaker gamma or low inertia in order to nerf it without removing it from every other character that has it which I think is going to feel much worse in the long run

I almost always feel like compress having super armor on gamma takes so much potential interaction to it away and makes it more brainless, rather than adding more to his kit

It becomes a crutch

If you want to use it as a combo extender you can so long as you know how to melee cancel consistently

[marsh storm]

okay so I just did my first compress game this season and I see what you guys are saying about him being broken now lmao

I did this

with this

(I would have changed trance blow if I had had the chance before the match)

[broken ferry]

Strike hawks can use his beta while in hitstun

It's the Overhaul gamma glitch but with Strike Hawks beta

Can also be used during a grab

[novel goblet]

Probably won't, but it'd be nice if it's fixed during maintenance

Knowing Byking, they'll probably make it an intentional feature though

[drowsy lichen]

If ppl complain about it enough then it'll get fixed fast

He feels really boring to play this season

The Alpha DP nerf ruined a lot of his combos, and now the Gamma buff just made his gameplay even more kinda braindead

[covert juniper]

Yes

[drowsy lichen]

Smartest redku

Strike Shoto ruined it

[shell salmon]

Imma ask this again but

The way you aim with compress to have a consistent dmg is you throw the truck at the opponent right

[novel goblet]

yes

the trucks are his main source of damage to his alpha

[shell salmon]

Thanks

[hoary ether]

Compress Alpha nerf when??

It's actually annoying that it doesn't do a hard down is annoying

[torn herald]

I mean

Is it busted? Yes

But does it lack Kd? No.

Anymore additions to the knockdown would just gut the character atp

[hoary ether]

It's just annoying that you cant actually roll out of it and you just have to take it 😭

[torn herald]

Several other characters have ways of deleting your hp and stunning you as well.

Compress isn't the First, nor will he be the last character that is annoying and that has a tod.

And now that I think on it, Compress is just another character added to the wheel of complaints. Soon there will be another character everyone will say is busted and needs to be fixed in a heartbeat, but they also adapt and move on lol

Point is people say these things EVERY new balance patch we get

First it was Strike Shoto, then it was Assault Kiri, then Strike Deku, Twice, and All for one happened, etc.
