But anyways, I'll leave any other critique to the other Compress players here, may have said a bit too much

rapid verge
#

its like whenever i get into a lobby with a compress on my team its either theyre really bad or like 5 year old toddlers on their first ps4

#

why are u standing there help me

#

i didnt clip past this but he was like spamming m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 on like a wall

#

theres also this

#

like dude what are u doing

#

The issue is that you can't really nerf his Alpha without ruining his kit

#

If his Alpha were to get another DP nerf, I'd want a melee buff to make his kit more versatile

covert juniper
#

He’s a character who has been getting buffer since like season 1

#

I also hope for a heavy nerf to make him more fun

#

Like 1 gamma, no aoe, alpha dmg down, and trucks at 9

#

I’ve been having a lot of fun lately just leveling alpha to 4, but that’s still op. He’s a character who in no way is balanced

marsh storm
covert juniper
#

rocks are very small so not much aoe, but they focus more on stun and are easier to hit imo

#

very fun to use in ranked and customs, so then I’m not really abusing trucks

rapid verge
#

Ohhhhh

amber laurel
# covert juniper No, rocks

Rocks have more "stun" hitbox? I thought you needed to land the marble.
Ngl i feel like they changed the hitbox of marble or somethn cuz too many times im being hitstunned by a compress

#

But if trucks/rocks have hitstun then it makes sense

covert juniper
#

But then at the same time, if you hit just the marble at close range sometimes the rock/truck doesn’t hit

#

But at the same time, the marble hit box is extended in the aoe

#

that’s what I think happens

#

Could be wrong

amber laurel
#

so when the marble hits nothing, and when the item spawns, the marble hitbox is still there essentially but extended

And Special Action I think...

covert juniper

#

what would be better on compress with the new AFO tuning

Wall runner
critical permeation
high speed replen

jade pond
#

Depends on your preference.

#

Space hop, high speed, embrittlement, revenge technical, crit perm, card dupe, divine protection are all good

Has anyone tried Hawks' tuning on Compress yet?

eh seems mid

crushing PU is so much better

If your doing casual or ranked stick to crushing PU

Electrification or critical perm?

electrification is kinda useless on compress

How should I use the i frames from critical permeation?

I thought there would be a downtime or sum

#

Perception is surprisingly useful

#

I can actually see my opponents whilst throwing trucks

shrewd cairn
#

I have graphics settings at the lowest and I still can’t see anything x)

#

Perception is just too good. It lasts for an eternity

#

Ok

#

What about acceleration

i genuinely haven't rolled a single compress outfit

the second he gets a costume pick up roll, my wallet is getting drained

drowsy lichen
#

I haven't rolled a single PUR outfit for him either

proven palm
#

I find dropping from the sky for a quick melee to be quite effective

#

Then my Acceleration activates

novel goblet
#

Bringing up an extremely old topic, but I think this update actually did the opposite

#

I've been missing air melee-melee a lot this season

covert juniper
#

The tracking on his air melee from gamma is extremely tight now

drowsy lichen
#

I've been landing it consistently

lime glen
#

How’s the new compress event skin?

drowsy lichen
#

It's alright

proven palm
#

Whyd the gamma do that

novel goblet
#

i have no idea what caused it to do that though

#

my best guess is a pull character + lag

proven palm
#

I think it somehow slid off of that mirio gamma

novel goblet
#

AH

#

okay wait

#

Mirio's Gamma reflects projectiles

#

maybe whilst in the marble, you're considered a projectile

#

i want to test this out

#

if that is the case, that's really interesting

#

alright nevermind, i have no idea wtf caused that lmao

daring jay
#

Look at where the hit marker goes then look at what's in front of them 11 seconds in

As they're getting yoinked out

#

ah

i didn't even see a tamaki

limber hazel

#

I have no idea

novel goblet
proven palm
#

Can someone explain to me why critical permeation is good

#

To me it just seems like this

novel goblet
#

it took me some time adjusting to it, since i usually just gamma away upon most guardbreaks

#

but im definitely performing better with critical permeation

proven palm
#

Ok

#

And just to double check because you seem to know stuff

#

Acceleration is good right?

novel goblet
#

I've not tested it myself, but I think Duch said it's one his best tunings (if I'm remembering correctly)

#

Or at least, it's his current favourite

shrewd cairn
#

It’s not my favorite because I’d rather have something aggressive but it will save your skin more often than not

#

And for now, no one knows how to play around it and it’s super annoying to notice as there is barely any visual effect when it triggers

proven palm
#

Should I run reinforced revive or divine protection

#

There really isn't many green special tunings

proven palm
#

I summoned the Ibara player huh

covert juniper
#

I hate reviving so I would choose divine

covert juniper

Not a filthy ibara

It's in a very good spot where it is as of now, anything else added to it will make it an absolute mess

Some would say that he's too good

daring jay
#

I don't really care either way though

grand pumice
#

Whats the best tuning for compress?

novel goblet
#

With either Crit Perm or Acceleration

#

There's also probably a few nice Strike tunings that work for him

Yw me personally the special red villain tunings arent worth it and trust me critical permeation will save your life alot

#

Good ones?

Do you hit alot of melees?

If you have enough data replace salt shiggy with salt endy

muscle form + high speed replen
(good for extra tankiness with plus ultra)

wall runner + high speed replen
(extra mobility since u wouldn't have the second gamma if u do a7 g9 lvl order)

critical perm + space hop
(good defense, have arial view even without using gamma so much, i might do this)

which one is best for compress

shrewd cairn
#

Crit perm + space hop based on what most people do and say here

#

Imma do double yellow with space hop and Young AFO which is probably a great one too.

covert juniper
#

130 dmg alphas and extended reload cards

#

Makes compress gamma incredible

timber hollow
#

so it would be so good

meager trench
covert juniper
#

ok we're like halfway done the season

#

so these are my favorite builds

#

my #1 atm, great reloads. good dmg. Muscle form allows you to work around compresses small amount of weaknesses

#

#2, highest dmg build. Great if you dont want space hop, and allows you too use tech cards even longer

#

#3 I use this off and on, but I think I might switch out the willpower for manifest evntually

#

@cyan vale (for future builds)

novel goblet
#

The lack of Space Hop is surprising

novel goblet
#

i might actually be blind

#

i didn't see it in the first one

toooook when can we team up

Ill just play whatever servers ur in

in that case, as soon as im able to

covert juniper

though be warned, im definitely not the best at this game

covert juniper
#

youre not the best, you are the best!

#

whats ur kd this season?

novel goblet
#

2.85, though ive been playing support while random queuing since it's the quickest way to ace

#

ive got 231 civilians rescued

novel goblet
#

i need ace as soon as possible 😞

covert juniper
#

I can get you ace in like one day

#

then we can compress 1v1!!

novel goblet
covert juniper
#

no no no

#

we will use rocks only to make the fight more fair

novel goblet
#

that makes sense

#

it would stop gamma spam as well

covert juniper
#

ok ngl

#

might never be able to beat this

#

I could have had 17 if my teamate didnt have the last kill

#

I love this build

#

my new favorite build

shrewd cairn
#

How do you use ability manifest?

#

What kind of color do you prioritize? Do you keep stuff from your teammates ?

covert juniper
#

im not much of a team guy

#

I priotize reload cards, and beta healing cards

#

dmg cards are a meh

#

they are GREAT but take time to gather when reloads are more important imo

#

healing beta cards stays in inventory untill storm healing

#

but I reccomend not stacking cards, but instead holding multiple copys and upgrading them with spare lvl ups

shrewd cairn
#

Yeah with ability manifest, lvl 1 and 2 become much more worth while high level cards don’t get as much value as they already last longer than needed

You really aren't gonna escape anyone anymore

It's the fact it grants Compress free-flight

It's kinda sloppily made, I'm thinking that the recommended tier should be split into two

There's just a few small things I kinda disagree with

#

If you don't mind me asking, how come muscle form is so high?

torn herald

Correct me if I'm wrong Duch, there could be an entirely different reason for that

That makes a lot of sense

Yep

But Compress can reflect a majority of his kit

novel goblet
drowsy lichen
#

Not exactly

#

He has his beta

#

Idk of Compress Compress can block it

novel goblet
#

I'm fairly sure I saw it in LFJ's vid

covert juniper
#

Compress almost has no counters if your good in this meta

#

It’s annoying

novel goblet
#

the only thing stopping me from wanting to continue ranked is randoms

#

i got queued with an expert ii and ametur ii player last time i tried

novel goblet
#

ive found a use for electrification but it's stupidly niche

covert juniper
#

@novel goblet do you still have that footage of the TOD

novel goblet
#

But it's something along the lines of: alpha until guardbreak, melee X2, cancel-gamma

#

you could maybe swap the second melee for an alpha

#

not sure whether that would be true though

novel goblet
#

so if the grounded melee doesn't hit, or you just don't wanna spend time doing it, you can instantly gamma again

#

very stupid, but i tried it in a game of unranked and it was kinda ridiculously fun

covert juniper
#

I’ll try it then

proven palm
#

Never thought about the combo potential of gamma

covert juniper
#

Actually more then a truck

#

I don’t think I’ve looked at the exact number

daring jay
#

I think it's in the 120-130s at max level

With 10 DP, so it can reset sometimes

It's pretty good if you can weave it in

Since support points are an easy way to do it

#

Space Hop helps with aiming Compress' Alpha, since it naturally falls downwards

i just find it an extremely rare occurrence

#

i can probably count the amount of times ive both been and achieved his stunlock (on a competent player) on my hands

#

yet most people i see talk about it like it's a common occurrence

covert juniper
#

I feel when Im using him it’s hard not to stun lock

#

atm I use more rocks then trucks so my opinion might be different

#

But his stun is op, buts it’s the main part of his kit

heavy kestrel
covert juniper
#

One jump melee on my opponent and it’s guaranteed they have nothing or are dead

novel goblet
#

im decent at aiming, but i can only hit the marble when im using aim assist

#

which messes up his kit quite a bit when it's active

covert juniper
#

oh, I’m pc so it’s a lil different

novel goblet
#

that makes sense

covert juniper
#

I’ve hand crafted his stun for 9 seasons after all!!

novel goblet
#

one day, i dream that they add m&k support for console

covert juniper
#

That would be fun

#

I actually had a fun compress customs earlier(all compresses) and I found that many other compresses play similar to how you describe

#

they rely much more on the large dmg and aoe rather than the stun which is much stronger then pure dmg

main orchid
#

stun on hp when

novel goblet
#

it doesn't help that if i hit the stun without aiming in, they seem to get jolted in a random direction

novel goblet
main orchid
#

compress alpha clicks nicely for me since im already used to leading shots with assault ochaco

#

close range it feels a bit wonky yet but thats just because of the aim assist

covert juniper
#

Compress melee is my favorite part tho, that’s why I run melee tunings like perception, iron fist, and acceleration

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

i find it extremely rare that im able to get close enough to actually utilise it

#

his grounded melee is extremely slow

covert juniper
#

You don’t think they are good?

novel goblet
#

I think they have potential with cancelling, but at face value they're kinda bad

main orchid
covert juniper
#

It’s one of the reasons I picked him up, I thought his melees were much faster then others like todo, bakugo, and deku

torn herald
#

Several seasons of playing have unfortunately proved that wrong though.

novel goblet
#

I could be wrong, but I think his basic melee1-melee1 combo is untrue

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

I used to do the melee cancel loop, until i realised it was untrue, then I tried the basic melee loop, and people were also breaking out of that

covert juniper
#

I rely much more on hitting him on gamma tho

main orchid
#

i figured gamma would be best. ill try to bait that

heavy kestrel

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

Honestly, I would love an Alpha nerf if we got some sort of melee buff

#

It would make his kit a lot more versatile and fun

covert juniper
#

These are my nerfs and buffs

#

1 gamma, less dmg on alpha, trucks at 9, less reload speed on alpha, 6-7 alphas

#

Buffs: less knockdown on melee, less knockdown on gamma

novel goblet
#

Somewhat similar to mine

#

But yours are a lot more brutal towards his alpha

torn herald
#

I say this as I still exist on switch, might be an fps issue

covert juniper
main orchid
#

i might start rocking boulders tbh, gamma 9 is so hard to get unless youre slaying early game

covert juniper
#

Rocks also have the same gravity variables, so learning how to hit the rocks every time help to hit truck stun consistently

rapid verge
#

does compress need skill or have combos or is he just spam???

covert juniper
#

I dont think he needs skill

#

like if you just want to use alpha as pure dmg then of course he is no skill

#

if use his combos or stun lock then I'd say he takes somewhere in the mid range of skill

#

but no where up there like aizawa or toga

#

"skill" is a lackluster term that differs person to person

#

compress atm is just spam, but for me to have fun I go much more on melees and stun lock attacks with alpha lvl4-6

#

Give him the Hawks treatment

#

Let no one ever complain about him again

drowsy lichen

#

just so its close to other beamers

#

but this change will be good

#

its felt so unfair playing him this season 😭

I will still be trucking ppl

Believe it

Ngl I’m not minding this nerf

#

From how quick guard breaks happen

torn herald
#

Oh they actually listened to us for once

covert juniper
#

Wish the nerf was more suvere

torn herald
#

I'll wait to see how impactful this upcoming nerf is before I say anything else

#

But HOPEFULLY it'll make him enjoyable to play again

jade pond
#

as long as the Compress nerfs get the frauds who picked up this season, jump off

#

thats a w in my books

heavy kestrel
#

ive seen it happen so much

main orchid
#

i started him this season, but thats mostly because my main hasnt felt very fun for me recently

#

he is a nice breath of fresh air, and i will definitely continue to play him even with nerfs

heavy kestrel
#

i actually picked compress back up this season since i havent played him for a couple seasons

#

im enjoying his character a whole lot more

main orchid
#

it has been really odd seeing more than 1 compress per lobby

heavy kestrel
#

I’ve been seeing at least 3 or 4 including me lately

main orchid
#

lot of matches last night there was 3-4

#

yep

heavy kestrel
#

Ysaaaa

main orchid
#

a lot of them are so bad too

#

like i absolutely dumpster them

I love Compress but I’m probably not good enough to play him post nerfs, he wasn’t my best performing character this season already…

I came to do a mental health check on you all but it seems like you guys are doing great

#

After they nerf my boy compress they going to drop his skill set.
Alpha will throw buildings.
Beta will be 360 shield to reflect attacks.
Gamma will allow you to shrink and move around

shrewd cairn
#

He’s gonna get a command grab with insane tracking that turn an opponent into a marble, one shotting them trust

shrewd cairn
#

The radius on his current alpha is too small

#

Make it a huge bomb 👍

#

OfA Compress

He does throw bombs in OJ2

Rocks now

main orchid
#

wow you guys sure are compressing!

novel goblet
#

@covert juniper gg, that was my last

covert juniper
#

Oh Alr

novel goblet
#

this felt more like a bullying session than a 1v1 😭

covert juniper
#

Mid way through I realized instead of risking a alpha mistiming, I should jump air melee. I found I then could combo this with mid air alphas because it’s a fake knockdown

novel goblet
#

Was it not?

#

It's one of the reasons I swapped to Space Hop for the second half

covert juniper
#

It’s just something I have to get used to fighting better

#

Like my way of playing, I focus on getting that one perfect stun. Once I get that stun I often win, but held beta space hop just makes it more difficult

#

Ur the only other compress I’ve ever 1v1’d tho

novel goblet
#

You also always use a Gamma after someone else does

#

Which helped me a little after realising

covert juniper
#

I really hate gamma fights, because I’m bad at hitting them. That’s why I usually don’t gamma unless it’s a combo lol

#

You prob saw that, I only was hitting air battles with trucks

#

Ground battles I’m more accurate with rocks

#

But your a great compress, that adapted to the fight pretty fast

#

And towards the end started winning a lot of them

novel goblet
#

It was fun, I'd be down to try again some other time

drowsy lichen
covert juniper
#

@vernal crystal In your newest video You talked about compress only doing 80 dmg, but in the current meta he can do 140 dmg with tunings. This is one of the main reasons hes getting nerfed

#

I think they should decrease this dmg to around 70 dmg per alpha, but keep stun

#

and lower hitboxes

drowsy lichen
#

I think they'll nerf the explosion damage

#

Or maybe the entire thing in general

covert juniper
#

This build with revenge strike allows 145 dmg without PU

#

With PU, I haven’t even tried

#

ofc space hop + accel is better for compress movement wise. But dmg wise this is THE build

covert juniper
#

Compress combos are so hard to fight against tho

#

Like one alpha stun means life or death

#

Or if I hit a air melee there’s so many combos to go into

novel goblet
#

i wonder if his cancel loop is true with acceleration

novel goblet
#

i need acceleration so bad

covert juniper
covert juniper
#

Wow tested it in training

#

I could def see it being good

drowsy lichen
#

Yes it is

#

But with the down power nerf to his alpha it's kinda not worth it now imo

covert juniper

covert juniper
#

@novel goblet the day the changes are made YOU are testing them out before the sun rises

covert juniper
#

I was thinking of a niche use for electrification, ima try it

#

I thinl

#

think

#

the combo would be true, if I had acceleration

empty thistle
#

I’m actually glad that Compress is getting nerfed. Now we can play him and have to actually use our brains to win unlike right now.

covert juniper
#

theres 2 fits where I can test this combo

#

a pur on sweater and a base compress skin tuning

empty thistle
# covert juniper true

Right? Like we will actually need to use a shred of skill to play him moving forward. Right now he is easy and braindead, I welcome this challenge! Plus Chaos!!

heavy kestrel
covert juniper
#

@novel goblet I’ve made a breakthrough on compress dmg

#

I’ve gotten past the 200 dmg range on one alpha

#

205

#

it could do 248.5 in theory tho

#

with embrit and 2 strike teamates

#

one step for mhur, one giant leap for compress kind

novel goblet
#

It's still insane either way

covert juniper
#

It 3 shots mirio atm

#

could 2 shot him with 2 strike teamates and embrit

novel goblet
#

This is so stupid 😭

#

The damage nerfs were understandable

covert juniper
#

the build does 130 without strike cards

#

with, it does 150 per alpha

novel goblet
#

Is this build with his heat sweater

covert juniper
#

Great reload speeds too

novel goblet
#

Ah

novel goblet
covert juniper
novel goblet
#

Out of curiosity, what were you thinking for it

covert juniper
novel goblet
covert juniper
#

It does work

#

But it’s not true

#

Maybe with melee cancel tho

novel goblet
covert juniper
#

Hit only marble

#

Then gamma

#

But it’s untrue

#

I think if you time it with accel maybe it’s true

#

I just couldn’t get the timing

novel goblet
#

Ah

daring jay
#

Nerfs are good but I just don't think these are the right ones to make him more skillful

#

Gamma is a way bigger problem to me, I'm never in danger when I have a gamma ready and you have it ready so often in fights that a hit and run playstyle is often encouraged

#

DP changes probably kill a lot of his combo setup which I think is a double edged sword for that argument

shrewd cairn
#

Yeah honestly I don’t see how nerfing damage and DP will make him more skill intensive.
You will deal less damage, and you won’t combo as much (which was part of skill expression, hitting the marble)
Reducing the explosion radius would have made him more aim intensive.
This just makes him weaker but still just as easy.

#

No gamma changes meaning you’re still super free to do whatever

#

The nerf is still good and better than nothing

#

Compress was one of those characters your entire team could fold to in late game if you didn’t have the right character

#

With reduced damage this shouldn’t happen anymore

#

I think the marble should not have a DP increase, but the explosion should.

#

That would make him more interesting

#

But it makes no sense that the marble is that much stronger than the truck itself lol

#

Or maybe the answer is to remove truck and have him stuck with rocks

I think both Compress and Ochako would be fairer if they didn’t get their lvl 7 upgrade

novel goblet
#

Like when Monoma got his HP nerf

latent tree
#

I think they should hace gone with one of the nerfs not both of them

covert juniper
#

I feel like the only nerf we are gonna see is the down power nerf

covert juniper
#

someone should test the dmg of revenge strike and pu power entensified on this build

#

becasue 50% buff and 10% buff might be crazy

#

Im gonna calculate dmg numbers here for later

#

72 marble dmg

#

29 aoe dmg

#

but what does 67 dmg?!?

main orchid
covert juniper
#

ok my game was actually falling apart so Im going to figure these numbers out

#

so it does 29 when you hit the outside of the aoe

#

but if you hit both versions of truck, which is truck + aoe it does 96

#

Im dum

#

gamma is 124

#

wait no

#

gamma dmg changes?!?

#

it can do 119 or 124

#

dont know what cause it

#

116 dmg for both parts of alpha

#

87 for marble

#

81 for truck

#

35 for aoe

#

144 and 150 for the marble

#

ill try this with embrit now

#

with strike cards

#

96 marble dmg

#

127 for truck + aoe

#

89 for truck

#

38 for aoe

#

159 for gamma

#

166 for gamma as well

#

without strike cards

#

80 for marble

#

74 for truck

#

106 for aoe + truck

#

32 for aoe

#

now lets compare that to peak compress

#

(from what Ive seen highest dmg compress build)

#

without strike cards

#

85 marble dmg

#

113 for truck + aoe

#

79 for truck

#

34 for aoe

#

128 for gamma

#

also 134

#

With strike cards

#

103 with marble

#

137 for aoe + truck

#

96 for truck

#

41 for aoe

#

162 and 155 for gamma

#

ok I was wrong about pu dmg numbers before, these are higher

#

these are max dmg(pu entensify + strike cards)

#

truck + aoe is 216

#

marble is 162

#

151 for truck

#

54 for aoe

#

these numbers fluxurate on hp, because of gp attack power from assault endeavor

#

these dmg numbers are easily possible in game btw

#

Just save level 5-6 strike cards for pu

#

these numbers could be much higher with embrit

#

@novel goblet get on!!

novel goblet
#

these past messages make you sound like you're going insane 😭

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

That makes sense

novel goblet
#

But with two Strike teammates + Embrittlement

#

I believe all values would hit for 261.072

covert juniper
#

I think so too

#

so Im about to test it

covert juniper
#

ok @novel goblet I got footage of the numbers for strike team + embrit

#

257 dmg per alpha

novel goblet
#

i actually think id go insane if i got two shot by a compress

#

i honestly don't know what to say, other than that's ridiculous 😭

covert juniper
novel goblet
covert juniper
#

we are about to see

#

Ok the buffs Im gonna use are

#

PU entensify, Fixer, embrit, 2 dmg cards, 2 strikes, strike shiggy sa, and uhh what else

novel goblet
#

does shiggy sa stack with embritlement?

#

i always assumed it was the same thing

covert juniper
#

becasue Im not seing more then 257

main orchid
#

they patched that then

#

because it used to stack

covert juniper
#

ok @novel goblet From what Im seing the highes compress alpha dmg is from relfecting it from a beta

#

but that is hard to caluclate

novel goblet
#

289.17

#

Hold on

#

Have you thought about using his Hero Cyberpunk

#

It can run PU Intensified + Revenge Strike

#

I might've gotten something wrong, but I calculated 289.17 possible damage per alpha with it

covert juniper
#

would that be higher then fixer?

novel goblet
#

Let me work it out

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

Fixer gives a 1.172x boost

#

Revenge Strike + tuning gives 1.17

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

The basic tuning on that outfit sucks so badly ngl

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

how did you manage to get it even higher

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

ahhhh

covert juniper
#

The most raw dmg I think at the current moment is 257 dmg

#

That’s the world record set and confirmed by myself only

novel goblet
#

this entire thing has made me realise how good pu intensified probably is on compress

#

considering his survivability, and how much he thrives during the endgame

drowsy lichen
#

I think

#

It should cus shiggy SA does 20% defense down and embrittlement does 10% defense down.

#

So they should stack

covert juniper
#

I was still doing 257 dmg with him

#

It might be weird timing tho

covert juniper
#

Compress nerfs tn

novel goblet
#

tonight for you

#

9am for me

#

i have a feeling they're going to very minorly affect him

covert juniper
#

Same

covert juniper
#

@novel goblet give me some predictions of what the nerfs are gonna be

covert juniper
#

@novel goblet they uh nerfed compress

drowsy lichen
#

Yeah um

#

Alpha now has 100 down power

covert juniper
#

Yeah which means

#

You can only hit the alpha 2 and a half times before knockdown

main orchid
#

am i wrong to think this is a bit much

#

the damage nerf is totally justified

#

but that down power is insane

drowsy lichen
#

Yeah it's Alot

#

Only being able to land 3 alphas

covert juniper
#

I think it will be fun still

#

But annoying how there’s no combo expression at all now

torn herald
#

Yup..

#

Now that I look at it, do y'all think the down power changes will change his team comps?
Ex. Teammates that can benefit off of reading wakeups will become more prominent w/ Compress now.

covert juniper
#

And even with tuning no gaurd breaks
