200 per hit

#

2 alphas and a truck

#

Which means no more guard break

#

205 dmg if you hit them all

#

But that’s at lvl 9

heavy kestrel
#

ill cope💔

covert juniper
#

At lvl 1 he can do 150 dmg with all hits

torn herald
#

Still A7 G9 right?

#

Unless you're doing Boulders for funnies

covert juniper
#

Maybe not anymore

#

Still

#

I think he will be good

torn herald
#

I think it's still possible in some way, just a bit more hit and run-esque now

covert juniper
#

His momentum takes care of the dmg he lost

torn herald
#

Regrettably I don't think landing a few alphas (from the air) --> a Melee from the air will be possible anymore with the dp changes

covert juniper
#

But that would only give like 2 marble hits at most 💔

torn herald
#

I'll test it when maintenance is over and see if it yields any results. With proper timing and evaluation there's perhaps a chance for it to be possible.

torn herald
covert juniper
#

tuning options might be different now?

#

I mean crit perm and space hop are still the best, but like accel and Embrit might change

torn herald
#

Crit perm's value for Compress has probably increased with the advent of this patch

#

Compress isn't taking anyone out as quickly now, leading to the user needing to play more cautiously

covert juniper
#

Good luck for footage in the morning

novel goblet
#

This is brutal

#

I wish they'd stop giving the shockwave the same amount of dp as the object

sage sluice
#

Its weird that compress became meta this season cause his dmg was the same and only movement was changed which he needed in my opinion

#

Most people didnt even make use of that movement advantage

#

They just used gamma and spammed alpha

#

Like how you would play him seasons ago

#

This shows that people dont see the potential of some characters

novel goblet
#

I think the main difference is how Gamma worked this season. Before you'd have to position yourself before using his Gamma, to make the most out of it

#

But now you can just kinda freely move around while airborne

sage sluice
#

Excatly

#

But meta abusers dont even know this

#

They jump up and spam alpha

#

They didnt even know the movement changes

#

Technically compress could be meta seasons ago with that current playstyle of some meta abusers

#

Hopefully they will hop off now

daring jay
#

on top of that the gamma changes made him have ludicrous survivability compared to before, comparable to or even surpassing rapids after just a couple air melees, and I've actively seen several players take advantage of these changes to at the very least cruise around in the air to weave around shots and get trucks in

#

which is the biggest reason why there was a jump in WR

#

damage changes I think are valid, the DP changes imo weren't

#

DP changes do chunk the damage ceiling the character has but in a boring way, and I think the damage changes would've already capped out the damage ceiling for his combos just fine

novel goblet
#

it doesn't look too bad here, but it's on a stationary target

daring jay
#

this is like season 1 compress except in reverse

novel goblet
#

rip

broken ferry
#

The bright side to this nerf only the og compresses would be left

daring jay
#

nah I'm done

#

I quit

#

they've sucked the fun out of the character entirely for me

broken ferry
#

Fair enough

broken ferry
covert juniper
novel goblet
#

this just made his gameplay even more linear

covert juniper
#

He should have had melee decrease in downpower

#

Our best combos now are

#

air melee alpha gamma

#

marble till gp break

broken ferry
#

I never used comboes other than accidental ones

covert juniper
#

Ah..

novel goblet
#

i think this nerf will also make a lot of people realise

#

that what they hated about compress wasn't just the damage

#

but how overwhelming the projectile size is

#

a lot of people just panic whenever they get hit by it

covert juniper
#

Yes that’s his main factor

#

same thing as assendy

#

But if they are able to stay calm they can attack back

#

@novel goblet I hope that no bugs come to be because he was changed at all

#

like no beta bugs

novel goblet
#

To be fair, his Beta was already insanely buggy

#

He's still got the bug where his Alpha marble just phases through surfaces, but apart from that

#

I've not noticed anything

covert juniper
marsh storm
#

interesting

#

also thoughts on ditching space hop?

#

cause space hop makes shock wave hit more easily

#

like whenever I get young afo tune I'll definitely try that one instead

sage sluice
#

bro lost so much dmg

You don't remember me huh, probably because I change my pfp and name. Ever since that discussion though about momo in general chat . I've been praying on compress's downfall to ibara

covert juniper
#

He still has decent dmg, and insane mobility

#

just has to play very similar to strike deku now

rigid dirge
covert juniper
#

Even though his dmg is lower then strike deku, he has that stun to help him out

rigid dirge
#

Its not a bugfix its a damage nerf similarly to how Ibara had a bugn that made her a bit too op

#

so many unwanted non ibara users came to abuse her

#

meta abusers and sht

#

This wasnt a bug but an adjustment and nerf

covert juniper

i can tell you are lying but i just cant prove it

#

i still recall the day we got mobbed by a compress

#

with 13KOS

#

and was like okay wtf

covert juniper
#

I was there?

#

My record on compress is 16

#

Want to go higher, but I just have to see if I can do it

drowsy storm
#

Mfs love when their characters aren’t goated idk why

drowsy lichen
#

Ngl

#

They went a bit overboard

#

Should've only increased the Shockwave down power

covert juniper
#

So then I could use him without being flamed, or him being banned in customs or tourneys I join

drowsy lichen
#

I'm still gonna be throwing trucks

covert juniper
#

Barrels are nothing without gp stun

covert juniper
#

@novel goblet they gotta release more compress merchandise

#

Like why do we got the bottom of the barrel

#

Even kendo got a mouse bad!!

#

We got 2 funkos and a fig pin

#

And ONLY 2 CCG cards

#

I might just buy this just because I need more merchandise

novel goblet
#

Mr. Compress towel

#

But yeah, we get nothing

I had a feeling that was a possibility...

#

Every single piece of Compress merch I find is really just a png whacked onto something

I gotta buy the league of villains whole set, and get them all signed

I made this, and would be happy to get an upvote from y’all

Talking of these nerfs, do you think Compress lost the most from the patchnotes?

main orchid
covert juniper
#

Thx!

covert juniper
#

Besides double beta Shinso

#

And less combos on blue ocha, she can still TOD tho

novel goblet
#

I see a lot of people say Rapid Ochaco was majorly affected by the nerfs

#

But I don't see it

covert juniper
#

I would enjoy a repost if y’all can do that!

novel goblet
#

I also see a lot of other people saying Compress wasn't affected much by the nerfs

novel goblet
#

Must've been the wind

covert juniper
#

I haven’t gotten much sleep today, compres change and right onto a plane 2 hours later

#

Long day!!!

#

How do we feel about the Alpha nerf ?

covert juniper
#

No more combos

limber hazel
#

I see, I see

covert juniper
#

I wish I could be home rn to test dmg numbers!!!!

#

So I’ll calculate what I know on my head

#

hmm nvm I give up!

#

I’ll think about tunings instead

covert juniper
#

@novel goblet my personal tl

#

After 7-9 seasons as compress

#

“I win” isn’t ordered

#

Everything else is

novel goblet
covert juniper
#

It’s so annoying as compress, you have to gamma way before she goes big or it means you have to tank every hit

novel goblet
#

Hmm

novel goblet
covert juniper
#

He’s not a “counter” but the way he stops you from fighting is worse then being a direct counter

#

I’ve had many games in the past where I have to stop fighting to just get rid of him

broken ferry
#

Personally id probably put him in upper hand

#

Or either way

covert juniper
#

And he can track gamma as well, and he makes you hold beta which indirectly makes you die to other enemies

covert juniper
#

Assendy really can’t hit the beta on you if your in the sky + with space hop you can just jump above it

#

He’s easy to chase and doesn’t have a way to dmg besides beta to you

#

You can also gamma out of beta

broken ferry
#

I see, i just haven't played much compress this season

#

Thank you for the information

novel goblet
#

I was in literal disbelief

#

But the ranking makes sense in that regard

broken ferry
#

Reminds me of the time i was grabbed by rapid mighta gamma while i was in marble

shrewd cairn
#

I’ve stumbled onto a pretty great player using Compress you wouldn’t think he got nerfed. But when I played him myself, yeah you definitely can feel you’re not killing anything anymore. But I just need to get better is all.

torn herald
#

The potential to kill is still there, just requires a tad bit more patience.

shrewd cairn
#

Yeah it’s mostly skill issue ngl

#

But sometimes I wish I could punish harder players that make obvious mistakes

sage sluice
covert juniper
#

Because then you hit rucks 5 times

#

Because then you can do 275 dmg without tuning

#

But also if that’s true, you have to look at the idea.

#

Is space hop the best tuning for compress now?

shrewd cairn
covert juniper
#

Hmm

shrewd cairn
#

I’m on EU servers

#

It was someone from the Aether team I think?

#

I’m pretty sure it was, which player though idk

covert juniper
#

Good to know

#

I play US so I’ve never seen them

shrewd cairn
#

Basically it’s mostly people with 5+ k/d ratio, if they are in a lobby you know you have to get kills fast if you don’t want them clearing everyone before you can get your score up…

#

There’s a few top agencies people tend to leave games when they are here because what’s the point if they’re gonna rack up 90% of the kills in the game…

#

They usually don’t play Compress though

#

It was the first time I saw a genuinely good player use Compress

novel goblet
#

The only ones I know of are EU, but that might just be because I'm an EU player

covert juniper
#

Hmm

#

Honestly don’t know,

#

I only know Zenith and like uhh

#

But that’s not US I don’t think

novel goblet
#

Yeah, zen is eu 😭

marsh storm
covert juniper
#

I would love to join a clan but I don’t think A 6kd is enough

#

I’ll have to go for 12kd next season

marsh storm
#

I joined straw hats, it's super chill, only ones tough to enter maybe are literally zenith and aether imo

novel goblet
#

From what I've seen with clans

#

Like a third of their members are actually really good

marsh storm
#

tbf I never tried with those either so I don't even know if that's that hard

novel goblet
#

Another third just relies on aim assist

marsh storm

#

Mr compress

covert juniper
#

Might be at the wrong place

marsh storm
serene sierra
covert juniper
#

Compress aim assist is bad, so I’ve never used it

novel goblet
novel goblet
#

But hinders most combat

mossy prawn
#

Then again I mostly play solo queue

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

Ehh*

mossy prawn
#

Because people leave, die early, are 3 ranks below you, hackers, etc

novel goblet
#

Solo queue is a mess

#

The main issue is duo queuers

mossy prawn
#

I honestly blame matchmaking for like at least 50% of it

mossy prawn
#

I got queued with a gold 1 player as ace

#

like wtf

marsh storm
shrewd cairn
#

My k/d is between 2.5 and 3.5 depending on the season 😭

covert juniper
#

I don’t think I will ever go above that

novel goblet
mossy prawn
novel goblet
#

I think of rank's damage cap and cry

covert juniper
#

I honesty don’t look at how many points I get, I just go up

novel goblet
#

So you only earned rewards for 1/3 of the damage achieved

marsh storm
shrewd cairn
#

Damage is not worth anymore

marsh storm
#

just realized

shrewd cairn
#

3k is almost guaranteed every game

#

Support stuff like team heal and revive gets you a nice chunk of points but tbh I just play and don’t mind it.

marsh storm
#

who cares about ranked points when you can be featured on the front page of the end of game stats though? Mirio

novel goblet
#

And then during the final circle I just rain down trucks

shrewd cairn
#

I just don’t worry about numbers and play to win because that’s what fun to me.

covert juniper
shrewd cairn
#

I wish I was this good.

marsh storm
#

6kd with rocks only xD

covert juniper
#

Rocks are fun to hit imo

#

I will say I’ve heard US servers are easier

shrewd cairn
#

Do you sometimes lose? I win more than half my games and I still have around 3kdr
With 6kdr when do you even die?

novel goblet
shrewd cairn
#

I’ve been used to EU been clowned on in fighting games lol

#

I thought it was the same for MHUR

novel goblet
#

EU servers are sweatier and more toxic from what I've seen

covert juniper
#

If you put me in 1v1s or 1v3s I’m better then helping teammates

shrewd cairn
#

I just love the feeling when pulling of a clutch rescue

#

I remember when they first added matchmaking to the game, I got to Ace super fast and had 25kdr, the gap between low and high rank is insane.

covert juniper
#

Yeah I had insane kd at the beginning of this season then I started using only rocks lol

shrewd cairn
#

This you rn

#

Tbh I like rocks more than trucks

#

More visually appealing, less clogging up my field of vision, more of a symmetrical shape

covert juniper
#

I don’t like truck size

#

And it’s aoe rng is too big so I hit a lot less because of down power

shrewd cairn
#

Rock is the new optimal trust

covert juniper
#

I mean now, it’s like a tickle fest

#

but

#

It’s still fun

#

@novel goblet I think strike hawks tuning is one of if not compresses best tuning

novel goblet
#

Didn't you say Crushing PU was the better choice

covert juniper
#

I was just thinking about that again

#

Crushing PU is less reliable

#

It’s very good in ranked, but like If you can’t find people or aren’t getting kills your not going to get any PU

novel goblet
#

I feel like you should be able to consistently get around two PUs every game with Hawks' tuning

#

I just wish I had a good costume to run it on

covert juniper
#

So in late game it’s good

novel goblet
#

I'll have to test it on his Cyberpunk costume sometime

#

I just struggle adapting to not having Space Hop

covert juniper
#

There’s so many good strike tunings tho

novel goblet
#

I haven't managed to roll a single PUR for him yet

#

Sadly

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

His Dangerous (I think?) LoV suit would've had an insane Fixer build

#

But sadly it's a villain slot

#

I kinda dislike how limited tuning is sometimes

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

I'm pretty sure current Alphas would hit for like 90 just with Fixer alone

#

Which is insane

covert juniper
#

Yeah

#

I still can’t believe we only do 75 lol

#

Can you calculate the dmg for the fixer build?

novel goblet
#

Sure

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

64.46 for trucks

#

23.44 for shockwave

#

Ah

#

That's without PU intensified

#

With PU Intense, it's 91.96 for trucks and 33.44 for the shockwave

covert juniper
#

Hmm

#

That uh

#

Isn’t as good anymore

novel goblet
#

The downfall is crazy

#

I saw a Reddit thread of someone saying Compress was the least impacted by the nerfs

#

One of the many reasons I don't really use that app anymore

covert juniper
#

You still can’t gaurd break with sky alphas

#

Even with tuning

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

It feels more like a support tuning for him now than anything

covert juniper
#

Like is it worth just because his alphas will do less in the air

novel goblet
#

We should all run Battlefield Analysis and Special Action Reload Boost instead

#

The new Compress meta

drowsy lichen
novel goblet
#

I've got so many clips of projectiles hitting my shield

#

And even playing the confirmation sound

#

But I still get damaged

drowsy lichen
#

Yep it happened to me yesterday

covert juniper
#

A lot of projectiles with aoe do that

drowsy lichen
#

I should've reflected Endeavors spear 3 times

covert juniper
#

Like tech dabi alpha as a funny example

novel goblet
#

I'm fairly sure

#

Every single one of Compress' abilities has some sort of bug

#

Alpha has the phasing through surfaces, Beta is self-explanatory, and Gamma has the thing where it doesn't show the marble's model for other players

#

Special Action is also pretty buggy from experience

covert juniper
#

I hate that they can fall if your on the ground carrying them in storm

novel goblet
#

I still have no idea how it works

#

I've heard his Special Action has a time limit

#

I've also heard it's got sort of a damage cap

#

And then I've heard that players are just mashing buttons and end up jumping out

#

I should test it with someone sometime

drowsy storm
#

No

#

When u pop a heal it drops

#

I think…

#

In storm

covert juniper
daring jay
#

it drops when you heal period it's just more noticeable when you're trying to do a storm save

novel goblet
#

that sucks

covert juniper
daring jay
#

idk

#

would be nice to not drop someone after using a HP or GP pot

novel goblet
#

I think Alpha - 9, Gamma - 9 is the way to go now

#

as opposed to alpha 7

daring jay
#

alpha 7 for space hop man is fine enough for me

drowsy lichen
#

Beta max is da way

covert juniper
#

But it really depends I guess

#

Maybe A7 - G4 - A9 -G9

novel goblet
#

I find myself achieving barely any damage now

#

Which really sucks

#

His gameplay feels more linear, despite him being nerfed

#

So it's kind of a lose-lose

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

Made me laugh a bit

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

I think I just maybe died in the stupidest way possible

#

For anybody curious, deactivating Beta also deactivates Critical Permeation

# covert juniper

Idk if space hop is as good now after the nerfs to trucks from above

#

Also not sure about extra wind because of its cooldown

#

You kinda wanna get trucks ASAP

covert juniper
#

But even if you get trucks first

#

Extra wind is great for that

#

Extra wind gets you ~3 PUs per match

#

You can take your time to upgrade gamma + beta is always there to lvl up slowly

#

having PU with compress allows u to easily keep fighting which is why this tuning replaced crushing PU

#

Space hop tho

covert juniper
#

It’s debatable

#

I haven’t been on for the update because I’m on vacation, but it might change the placement

the things affecting space hop viability for compress were shockwave down power being increased, and shockwave being harder to avoid hitting when in a space hop, so that was a slight nerf for using space hop on compress. but now space hopping being possible while holding beta was an overall buff to it as well, so all in all it's still a very solid tune on him

#

it's not that space hop is suddenly a bad tuning. I just don't like it that much on rapigo anymore

is quirk factor release good on compress??

yes

He looks weak enough to use again. I get like 4 interactions vs this guy now

#

Also beta max over gamma!

Does it reflect afo gamma bullets? Actually there a list? Idk if he nullifies it

covert juniper
#

He does

#

But it’s a weird stand still

#

You can’t stun him

#

And if you drop beta to attack he will tank it and drop you

Gonna try spiral leap on Compress

On the other hand if you just don't like touching the ground Spiraling + Space hop is always funny

It feels terrible

Never again

covert juniper

I don’t enjoy it

unfortunately spiraling leap is nothing like space hop, gimps your gameplay for no reward

As an ex spiraling leap user, I agree. It was great until Space Hop came out since it's better in almost every way

Sup! 👋@covert juniper
sorry for the ping but I heard you're an incredible Mr Compress main, and the guide you made along with the other 2, as well as the little clip confirm it! I've come to like Compress in the little time I've played him, mind showing me some more stuff and giving me some tips? If possible I'd like us to hop on training! Ping me with an answer 🫡

covert juniper
#

(I have a compress server in my bio you can ask easier questions to many compress players)

#

I’d be glad to share any info with you, and any small techs if you wish for them

#

Compress is a very fast character to learn, but figuring out how to utilize him to his maximum is where he gets fun

#

I don’t have many clips to give…(I don’t clip on pc)

#

But I can record techs and give you strategies to help

#

The safest option is to hold beta untill there is an opening to attack back or gamma away

#

You can try and bait thier abilities by dropping shield and bringing it back up, but it doesn’t always work

daring jay
#

sometimes, the answer is just to shut someone else down and force them to look at someone else so that you can then take the opportunity to be a problem

#

the actual problem with beating AAM is that chasing him is extremely difficult or impossible with his mobility, so you don't get rewarded significantly for doing this

#

just another reason why I think mobility in this game should be awful...

west bane
#

What is the best tuning for this character

#

for the special and the regular slots

novel goblet
#

Preferably at level 11 (so base Pirate and LoV hero style)

#

As for basic tunings, I would recommend prioritising Alpha damage, Gamma damage, Gamma reload, Alpha reload (in that order)

covert juniper
#

100 souls, acceleration data, and 19 pur tokens?

buoyant stump
#

Does anyone have any tips on doing the melee cancel? Like a visual cue or something

covert juniper
#

Welcome to the new year first of all

#

But there was a good visual brought to me a bit ago

#

When you do the base first melee, you will put the cane behind you at the end of the first melee

#

When the cane that is behind you starts bobbing you do the second melee, which spins the cane

#

Then do a walking input

#

Remember you can’t use any movement inputs untill you cancel the melee

#

I’ll do an updated video on it eventually

completely new and i'm trying to put time into compress
only issue is that i only have these outfits, and dont know how to get more + then tune them correctly
any tips?

novel goblet
#

With that in mind, you still have decent options for some budget builds

#

If you want an aggressive build, I recommend Villain Costume (Hero Style) with Embrittlement + Card Duplication

#

However, considering you're a new player, his base Villain Costume with Willpower + Revenge Support might be a better option for you, since it increases his survivability

#

As for the basic tuning slots, this is the order of priority you should try and follow

marsh valve
# novel goblet With that in mind, you still have decent options for some budget builds

Just a few questions if you don't mind answering:
1.) The gacha system, does it matter what banner I'm rolling on to get Compress skins or should I wait for a specific banner to pull up?
2.) Does the tuning system also rely on gacha? Which ones should I try to get/which banners should I try to roll on in general? (or do I have a great chance at all of them?)
3.) What's a great build I should aim for when I'm a bit more experienced in the game, or some things I should try to get in general?
4.) Could you dumb down that last image for me? Don't really know what I'm looking at.

Really appreciate the help, I'll probably try out the more aggressive build (once I grind for it) after I watch more videos on how the Tuning system works in the game.

marsh valve

# marsh valve Just a few questions if you don't mind answering: 1.) The gacha system, does it ...

1] Unfortunately, no. Compress only has two PURs, and it’s unlikely they’ll appear on banners anytime soon. While featured banners do increase your chances of pulling the featured items, my main advice for the gacha system is to save up 2,000 tickets before rolling. That way, you’re guaranteed to get the character you want. (Slightly off-topic, but valuable advice for this game)

2] The gacha doesn’t affect tuning very much. You can earn any character’s data just by playing, although how data is distributed isn’t clearly explained and seems mostly luck-based. If you don’t have enough data, you can use Character Data Exchange Tickets for characters you already own. That said, I wouldn’t recommend rolling purely for tuning, especially if you’re a new player. To answer the last question: all banners have the same base rates, with only the featured item having higher odds.

3] If you manage to pull a PUR for Compress, aim for a Space Hop build. His projectiles naturally travel downward, and Space Hop gives him valuable high ground when needed. If you don’t get a PUR, the best alternative is Villain Costume (Dangerous) with Embrittlement.

4] The last image isn’t very important. Just focus on setting your basic tuning slots to increase Alpha damage

I apologise for the text wall 😭

I believe(?) it's a 0.04 chance to roll one

#

The issue is just that budget builds are much more limited

daring jay
#

actually why are we recommending embrittle either most budget builds aren't gonna have access to that

#

it's probably the best budget tuning by a mile but getting character data for yellow shiggy or getting the skillset itself is more taxing

covert juniper
novel goblet
#

especially with aggresive playstyles

novel goblet
#

i'm just saying what they should aim for,

daring jay
#

if they get the data, it's good

#

if they get the character, it's good

#

but when I think budget I'm thinking that they cannot afford to throw 2k tickets at a banner to pity for a (relative to the metagame) mediocre skillset

daring jay
#

the problem is entirely based on performance

#

and it's worse that it's earlygame only rather than the entire game

#

there's gonna be several games where if you're not going for hyperaggressive plays you basically don't have a special tune

#

not the end of the world, considering most tunings at low levels just suck

#

purple slots at lower levels are genuinely good because of HP sucker/revenge tech (toga on special license, dabi starter character)

#

HP sucker has a similar problem to card dupe but at least it's on the whole game, I really like the defensive revenge tunings on any character

#

for budget builds

#

embrittle feels way more of a midgame type of thing to me which by then you probably already have better things to do

#

because of gacha

That’s a fun tuning on him

#

But acceleration makes him so much more flashy!!!

No.

#

Information better.

Looking cool > usefulness

#

No.

#

Knowing where enemy is better.

#

🙂

covert juniper
#

Hmm

#

Yeah, I see your point

daring jay
#

man if it was the broken perception though...

covert juniper
#

I just think the time I’ve spent using it has swayed my opinion

daring jay
#

it would be so evil

#

compress just turns into the predator with perception man it's so funny

covert juniper
#

I just like speed!!

#

I used perception in a tourney once pre nerf tho

#

It’s def a great utility

daring jay
#

I'm probably gonna stick with it because I don't really like any of the other blue perks

#

on this character

#

I would probably invest into acceleration if compress could still melt people with trucks

#

also I've tried the fixer build

#

it's uh

#

it's bad

#

if the fixer isn't buffing my damage by an extra 8-10% I don't want it

#

if they ever randomly make foundation of peace actually good I'll try that instead

#

on that build

covert juniper
#

And it makes melee cancel true

#

Even if I don’t use the cancel…

#

But it feels cool

daring jay
#

so you don't even USE it

#

FRAUD

covert juniper
#

It’s annoying to use on PC I’d rather be quick!!

daring jay
#

like actually I hit it almost every time

covert juniper
#

I don’t really try!!

#

Don’t teach an old dog new tricks

daring jay
#

gotta start trying if you're gonna use accel it's not that hard...

#

🙂

#

melee cancel gamma alpha alpha alpha gamma untrue combo on shield do the thing

#

🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

#

actually just 2 alpha we do not care about the third alpha

#

I must use ALL of my gammas in order to do REASONABLE amounts of damage

covert juniper
#

Seriously tho, I can hit easily. I’ve just had a few situations in the past where I messed it up and then died in the long animation. The fear of messing it up, stops me from doing it too much

daring jay
#

just commit to getting it 100%

#

the timing's not that bad it's the easiest melee cancel in the game

covert juniper
#

Alr how about this

#

I’ll get it down next season

daring jay
#

ok

#

I actually do want to try out that bs combo I threw out of nowhere actually that sounds funny

covert juniper
#

And when compress PUR is announced in the trailer tn we will all be celebrating!!

daring jay
#

y'know what if I get the data for acceleration I'll put it on and lab it out just to see if I can do it in any consistent way

#

like if that's a true combo it's easily 400+ damage if you have level 9s on gamma

#

that would make me want to max out gamma first

#

y'know what else?

#

fixer build with gamma damage buffs would be funnier with that

daring jay
