Itsuka Kendo

[high smelt]

The way no one gives grounded characters the proper respect

wdym u spam ping when you're across the map and the only way i can get to u quicker is by alpha gliding and not wasting my speed cards

[outer blade]

Not really as kendo, but it stresses me out as tsu when someone spam pings the frame that they go down as if there is not 14 people in a tiny circle that im runnin for my life from

[high smelt]

had a tech might do that to me some minutes ago

and i'm sitting here like "Uhh... I said 'Gather Here!' like 6 times....signal for you to come over and run away"

its just so confusing

LOL

[outer blade]

And that 400hp mobile menace should be the LAST one going down

[bold fulcrum]

i swear it's one of the main reasons that made me hate solo queue

like

my brother in christ

you're playing OFA Deku

i cannot reach you without wallrunner

some people are thinking that Assault Kendo has a shield, so she should use it to help them, which is true

but they never stay close to me

[outer blade]

Is it a shield, yes. Will it stop the forces of like 50 AOE on the map, no

Will it make her leap across the map for you, also no

[high smelt]

i get to make a vid on those matches at least lol

[bold fulcrum]

it literally happened to me right now

Armored All Might spamming "Thanks" because Assault Kendo & Assault Kirishima couldn't be there in time

[summer wolf]

yendo's value would go up if people actually understood how to play alongside them and not away

[bold fulcrum]

just won a game bcs i was able to use Special Action to save my teammate

Probably be the last time I can press that button in 2026

[wary orbit]

2026 just started 💔

[high smelt]

and got it out

looking back it really does put things into perspective lol

[soft osprey]

Can yall strike kendo players stop acting like yall the best ever and stop emoting when 90% of your kills had help thank you

[eternal obsidian]

What's the best special tuning to run on assault kendo along with wall runner? But it can only be either a purple villain or red hero

[outer blade]

Wont give you time to plan anything

[summer wolf]

willpower/ability manifest

crushing PU if you want but i don't think its necessary for yendo

this is my build on the outfit i assume you're talking about

[trim marsh]

no more triple forward jump height I take it. what were your reasons for swapping off it if I may ask?

[summer wolf]

i still flip flop between the two

in this case i just like big numbers and 4 alpha attack powers is funny asf

[trim marsh]

very very fair. would you also do forward jump height with that costume or only casual default?

also how are you liking hyper regen if you have gotten to try it

[summer wolf]

hyper regen is buns

i expected more

just stick to hp sucker and use tech shiggy in the sub slot for hp def

[summer wolf]

i haven’t filtered through all the outfits that can do it, but casual default and adventurer villain can

casual heat might be able to iirc

[trim marsh]

👀

dayum

I really like it tbh

from my limited experience with it, it has treated me really well

[quiet shale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUMpXMXvimI

My gamma tracking though 😭 sometimes I wish they would just remove it

[high smelt]

gonna put the clip here too cause why not

[high smelt]

honestly its a lot of tracking moves that i wish didn't work as such

but the way this game performs i see why, but some moves genuinely don't need it LMAO

[quiet shale]

Honestly I don't like tracking in general, a little on some that need it is alright. But so many characters don't need it and it's never balanced properly. It's always too strong or very inconsistent.

[quiet shale]

We don't even need to talk about AAM's punch 😤, I think the hitbox of it was actually affecting where my gamma's tracked as well. Though that's just what it felt like at the time. He may have won the super armor fight but failed the hands check 😂 That punch had me so annoyed lmao

[high smelt]

oh yeah

cause he can track u into the air and still hit u

LOL

And i hate that its still finicky with shield blocking cause it does go through but you have to be using a directional input (Mainly walking backwards) for it to be blocked

but even that sometimes don't work

at least u won the fight though

luckily you weren't outside the building

LMAO

[quiet shale]

I found that you have to block it from a good distance away. The parry detection hitbox for his punch is like a foot in front of him which is why it goes through the shield multiple times when I'm close, so technically the hitbox I wanted to parry spawns behind me if he is within a certain range.

[quiet shale]

Yeah I tend to force close range battles as Kendo anyways since that's where she excels. So I try to always put myself in spots where I can take advantage of that.

[random edge]

“Wide Endeavor doesn’t exist. He can’t hurt you”

Wide Endeavor:

[summer wolf]

ngl i think this is the most difficult time to be a yendo player since season 7

[high smelt]

for me its really just, who i get on my side more than the enemies

though i will say with the amount of AOES that just take place now

its so insane

[outer blade]

most difficult was probably young for one release

just the whole lobby being flying orbs of destruction just barely out of range AND they can just soosh across the map if you hit em once

[quiet shale]

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-spy-steals-your-meme-gif-5533659929391063079

[quiet shale]

The question is more when isn't it a difficult time to play Yendo 😭. The meta has always been plotting against her but we still truck on

[outer blade]

When everyone was iida or tsu

[quiet shale]

I think you're forgetting iida went through Kendo's shield back in the old days 😭

[outer blade]

Well i am now, you're right we gotta gut iida

[quiet shale]

Nahhhh he's fine as is other than maybe a slight damage nerf to keep him inline with balanced rapids (though they need to do nerfs all around tbf the damage most anyone can do is just a tad bit too much)

[outer blade]

Pfft they got off too easy for the suffering they caused

[summer wolf]

she was fine back when not every character was flying across the map

but obviously she was underplayed then and underplayed now

i think she was strongest during the triple assault meta

i think the correct way of playing her in a stack is to just glue to one of your teammates (or both) and she was really hard to kill that way

cuz 400hp plus 40% defense

and shield ofc

but again that was a time before all the fliers and leapers

[normal blaze]

402 damage combo is his highest with no tunes but that character needs nerfs on literally everything Armored Might is busted

[unreal quartz]

Wha about rall might?

[normal blaze]

Get rid of the beta momentum buff on him

He did not need it at all

[unreal quartz]

Agreed

Whats his highest damage combo?

Id like to test it with my embrittlement fixer build

[normal blaze]

4 Ice Bullet Shots -> two air melees -> beta and in between all that shoot one drone

[unreal quartz]

Holy

[normal blaze]

It's untrue even with Acceleration but Acceleration makes it more consistent

And nobody expects it

[unreal quartz]

Thats not fair bro

Wtf

[normal blaze]

Also the beta is grounded I should say

[unreal quartz]

Yeah i figured

What about rapid all might? Is his still a beta stun beta stun beta stun melee into grab?

[normal blaze]

Are you talking about using Armored All Might's beta to stun him in place?

[unreal quartz]

No, rapid all might beta has three different damage outputs during the dash with it

A direct hit, the slash at the end, and the stun of starting it

The stun does like 10 damage

[normal blaze]

They didn't change anything besides the momentum and tracking so probably yeah

[unreal quartz]

Rip

So still busted at around 400 dmg

If not more

[normal blaze]

Yep

That momentum buff is what made him broken I argue

[unreal quartz]

Nagant is ridiculous ngl

[normal blaze]

Because one beta now goes further than all 4 at level 9 pre-buff

[unreal quartz]

They are hella dumb for ts

[unreal quartz]

Real

[normal blaze]

Headshot should be like 275 not 357

Make it rewarding to hit but not nuking everyone in the game

[trim marsh]

pretty sure it's the double melee chain alpha gamma combo

this is the air melee start version

aka the harder version I believe

[high smelt]

I honestly thought it was melee > Cancel barrage with Alpha > Melee Full > Cancel Barrage Into Gamma

Oh

discord did not scroll down enough and that was the first message i saw LOL

but yeah that

[normal blaze]

😭

That is Rapid All Might's most damaging combo though yes

The one above the first message you saw is Armored All Might's

[brazen ember]

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRrdWe7u/

[wooden musk]

the lag is real

[leaden fern]

So I started picking up Assault Kendo again and felt really proud of this one, yeah this is unranked but she's now my third character I've ever passed 4,000 dmg with. Is this good?

[smoky cave]

PREACH PREACCH

especially when im playing ibara and they ping my item thats on the skyscraper or a mile away from me

my hands magnetize themselves to the alt+f4 button

after i die cuz its INFURIATED

[hot zodiac]

loving the strikendo nerfs rn

[outer blade]

checks subchannel name why.....would you love that

🤔

[hot zodiac]

I just don’t want her to be so strong

Itd be nice to play her and not do well because she’s broken

[wraith timber]

Welp, it was going to happen sooner or later

But hey, at least the charged shot stays the same

It's a shame that Y got reload speed nerfed too though
It was her best escaping tool

[outer blade]

i mean i kinda don't care about the alpha damage tbh

leave the helicopter alone though 😞

[wooden musk]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-gif-26212762

[outer blade]

funny too because everyone only ever talks about the beta

[summer wolf]

oh well

i'd rather take this over down power changes

[unreal quartz]

@quiet shale if this is you on compress, good luck!

[quiet shale]

That was me 😄

I don't really play him much so I was god awful 😭

couldn't hit squat till I got trucks lmao

[quiet shale]

ggs if we ran into each other 😄

[ebon flower]

ppl act like Striek beta is a Instant atk that cant be avoided, paired with AOE

when in reality the Strike Kendo beta can only work if u Get Hurt charging it , small Aoe & is Dodgable

yea young afo can Spirit bomb for free with huge dmg 7 aoe while NOT beign s Striek charcter

idk... DMG nerfs to charcters that are DMG (STRIKE) makes no sense, UNLESS its nagants SPecial Action

Nagant's Special Action 1 taps for free No lvls, just stun or 3rd party & u get the dmg

[ebon flower]

yet her Quirk Set is literally Named after her Beta

does decent to No dmg if its not charged, your taking dmg & time to do a tiny Aoe shove tahts Meant to return dmg

thats more fair than Any aoe Huge dmg moves that non strike charcters have

👍

🔥

[ebon flower]

👍

[frail fable]

They didn’t do anything to the strike kendo combos bless

While im sad about the reload nerf for gamma the distance is still there and like always every inch of movement is a blessing for kendo so im fine with it. Just gotta be a little more careful with usage now

[unreal quartz]

I think you have to disable aim assist for it, or maybe its if you look away at the right time the tracking disables? (I know nothing about red kendo)

[hot zodiac]

From my experience I’m pretty sure it’s the second one

Also funnily enough I got one today

[ebon flower]

comboing is always fun

[loud stream]

Ever wanted more mobility as assault Kendo?

Step 1: run spiraling leap
Step 2: spam Beta+alpha+melee(air)

Now you move faster as assault Kendo

[summer wolf]

spiraling leap sux

put the triple forward jump ht+ in the bag

saves you from wasting a special tuning slot on select outfits

[round folio]

This is pretty alright and fun to use in all honesty, I would say use this tuning as a secondary option to Acceleration when doing Kendo's alpha glide. In a match doing that Melee in the air does kinda leave people to get some free hits off of you since your stuck in that animation.

(Spiraling leap Is also very good for both Strike and assault kendo if you want to save the tuning materials on a build)

[frail fable]

its actually over I can't play assault kendo anymore. I lost the sauce with her whats wrong with me

[wary orbit]

I wanna get back on her but Nagant is too fun

[quiet shale]

iirc I have fixer paired with it as well with double dash speed under fixer, you move crazy fast

[loud stream]

I thought dash speed doesn't work

[quiet shale]

She zooms, it was more a bug with fixer that got fixed already

[high smelt]

Dash speed got fixed???

Unless the only way it "fixes" itself is if you run fixer...

[summer wolf]

^

i tested dash speed a good while ago and it still didn't work

[unreal quartz]

Stamp of approval!

Good game sense, positioning down, just needs to work on prediction

[outer blade]

i'm not used to hearing something other than "yeah she needs nerfs, beta is broken" so i'm really not sure what to say

[smoky cave]

Strike kendo is the least of the games problems

Outside of her beta which is conditionally strong there really isnt much. Gamma is easy to dodge. Most Strike Kendos don't even know you can cancel beta into gamma into melee or into gamma or nonsuch. Her alphas are incredibly dangerous, those scare me. But other than that- she is not a problem.

[smoky cave]

We already know as of now she is like the least of the games imbalance.

Rapidku
AAM
Tech Shiggy
Nagant Easy Access SA combos
Nagants Melee Loops
Nagants Quickscope
Nagants Gamma Bug

[outer blade]

Again, not sure how to reapond since i normally dont get this far....

[smoky cave]

Wdym

In terms of like lobbies? Rank? Or like overall playtime and you havent experienced it yet.

[outer blade]

cuz here's the thing.....everyone says strike kendo broken beta busted yadda yadda, but even like during her release (i'm usually expert and higher lobbies) i really didn't experience it to the effect of like nagant right now or iron might (maybe people just didn't like kendo enough? dunno) where it's just every encounter. then playing as her i really only bullied dumb mirios who deserved it and saw how you could just counter play her buttons but pointing that out just kinda got ignored because alpha is a stagger monster (though it got nerfed now in damage), full charge beta is like getting shot by nagant, and gamma was....... idk think people just hated the armor on it or somethin 🤔

kinda just used to pointing out those things but now that there's other people saying "yeah she's the lesser of evils" not sure what to say

[smoky cave]

Shes not even a part of the evils

Lmao

Her beta before you could just cancel it out

And roll

Do it again and again

Making her movement much

[hot zodiac]

Welp looks like the 260 beta is fine

Pack it up guys

We finished balancing kendo :D

[loud stream]

Doesn't this need nerfing?

[hot zodiac]

Yes

[reef summit]

It’s crazy I never focus leveling beta I need to start doing that

[smoky cave]

No

[outer blade]

the amount of shield i lose to do that damage, that's a nope from me too

[summer wolf]

ehhh

i think you guys are downplaying a bit much with rendo

she was definitely suuuuper strong on release and even after the first nerf they did to her mobility (she was still top 7 at worst at that time)

any character with that level of movement was undoubtedly gonna be meta until something changed

and the risk/reward she has (even now) is heavily in her favor at all times if you fight her head-on

you can hit her beta with anything, even something super weak like monoma's alpha and she'll still have a 1% charge ready to blow your head off

she's honestly the closest character to one shot you after nagant

[smoky cave]

i think nagant did this to me

literally

rendo the least of problems

[summer wolf]

maybe now but i wouldn't say she was never an issue

its just that this game always finds a way to make a more broken character than you could imagine

i remember when i thought they couldn't get worse than prime redku

or hawks

but here we are

anyway all i'm saying as a long time kendo player is that there was definitely a time where rendo was a problem character in the meta (for even more reasons than what i mentioned), maybe not now after being nerfed twice already, but she definitely had her time

so i don't agree with the thought of her being "not that bad" in regards to her kit or trying to find random ways to downplay it

like i'm not gonna take into account something like "look how much damage i have to take JUST to get my 300 damage beta out" and its like 70 shields at most

this is modern rumble

anyway buff yendo gn

[smoky cave]

Yeah you have to take damage to get that damage

Nagant is as simple as. Air Melee - Special Action

Idk if rendo is the issue here. Rendo's high damage from her beta is conditional

Then we have the other issues of this game. Sure nerfiing the Beta roll thing made sense and a bit of her numbers

But other than that

She isn't even the main issue as most rendo players make it real easy to dodge the beta as they fail to implement it into a combo- even then as a melee character with characters flying all over the place it makes it real hard to do so. Not to mention that dang tank flying around at mach 5 speeds bleeding out damage and restraining people with 400 hp(AAM).

Once Rendo Beta is down the rest of her kit is gamma and alpha and gamma can be interrupted as the super armor on that isn't very huge while alpha in of itself is strong

But can be avoided.

Her beta does come back up quite slowly too

I guess if you want to say she really really op. I just think she's strong

But not OP

[outer blade]

unless the monoma was non stop hitting you, it doesn't build up that fast off the weaker stuff

also not downplaying to point out areas where the character can be countered

[hot zodiac]

barely

the percent goes down so fast it doesnt matter

along with the defense boost its not too risky to actually get the extra damage

[outer blade]

it can def be risky especially with how much damage gets churned out in this season

especially from those who can do it from safe distances like iron might or if they can just ignore you like shinso/aizawa, it's not like it's throwing out his gamma

think someone already said though, beta can be a situational dealing 300 or eating damage for no reason

[bold fulcrum]

i like pancakes, doesn't mean I hate waffles tho

[bold fulcrum]

sometimes we need to remember how absurd this game is

Imo every single character in the top 15 has the potentiel to be the undisputed #1 in another game

"nagant is worse so rendo is fine" is not a good way to think about which characted needs to be balanced

[outer blade]

That....wasnt really the take away, it was more both are strong but one is more beatable while the other is hurting the game significantly more atm. Also top 15 feels way too wide a net

[obsidian island]

Bruh, we still have easy ToD characters with barely skill, double revive teams with shield included... I mean the nerf was needed but there other characters that haven't been touched. Im mad because they nerf things that are needed but not the ones they MUST nerf or fix

[hot zodiac]

Just because others need a nerf doesnt exempt her from needing a nerf

I don’t understand why people insist on that

[smoky cave]

She had her nerf she doesnt need another. We dont want a 2nd rapid hawks

[hot zodiac]

The cope is crazy

You don’t even need a big beta nerf just like 30-40 damage gone or something

[wary orbit]

I'll never understand why people want to completely kill a character just bc you die to them

[hot zodiac]

Rip twice frfr

[smoky cave]

THANK YOU

Someone said it

I can die a million times to a mirio

and i still dont think he needs a nerf

YAFO, One for All, Shoto Red (Albeit his beta is a little......too much)

I dont want to say he needs a nerf

But its probably needed

Cuz Rendo getting that damage but needs to take damage while shoto can just sht it out

[high smelt]

i could argue its certain points where they take too long to nerf something to the point where asking for nerfs on certain characters like rendo on current times wouldn't be something i'd do now regardless of the matter

i'd want them to nerf people like rapid deku before nerfing rendo for example

[smoky cave]

When I say something needs a nerf its properties or my rules kinda have to follow this

• Can you avoid/dodge/roll this attack? No (Okay this can be fine)
  -Is it crazy strong for something undodgeable? No?
  Doesn't need a nerf

• If yes for crazy strong? Get rid of it or change the DP or the numbers for it.

-If yes you can dodge/roll/avoid attack? Then its fine even if its crazy strong.

• Does this ability for this character do insane damage at lvl 1's (A step back into rapid hawks days)
  Yes, it likely means it does way too much especially at lvl 1. Nerf.

Then there are characters with too much to their kits and being able to do anything really well
Rapidku, AAM

AAM most especially because of the outlier of being as fast as a rapid maybe even faster while having 400 HP.

Nagant kind of explains herself but she's new this is normal. Doesnt mean it should stay

[wary orbit]

Frfr

[hot zodiac]

Looks like the broken mess that is strikendo doesnt need nerfs

[smoky cave]

Broken mess? PFFT AHAHA

broken mess

Tech Shiggy laughs at your remark

AAM laughing in joy as he flies above you and if you tickle him you would think hes a rapid- cuz whys he moving so fast

You use everything on him....OH BUT HE SURIVIVED

long enough for him to ZOOM away

even hawks cant even do that without blowing away his special action

for

idk

[hot zodiac]

You gotta be a strikendo otp istg

[smoky cave]

75% if the bar to go HALF THE DISTANCE HE DID

[smoky cave]

look at my own

name

does it look like it?

I have my main

[hot zodiac]

Idk man it doesnt seem as if you fought an actual strikendo

[smoky cave]

Oh no I have

And i figured out how to fight her

[hot zodiac]

Apparently not

[hot zodiac]

As have I

[smoky cave]

Trust me I have

[hot zodiac]

And yet she is still too strong

[smoky cave]

Ehhh

Yeah I admit shes strong

But thats it

Shes strong

Thats quite literally it

[hot zodiac]

Just because aam and nagant are a thing does not mean she does not need a nerf

It’s a really stupid concept

[smoky cave]

When everyone is flying all over the place is this really the issue? Shes a strong melee character

You are thinking through concept I am thinking based off of game state

Shes a strong melee character. Thats it

[hot zodiac]

Yes she is still an issue

[smoky cave]

Plus she has counters shes fine to me

if the character had no counters

at all

[hot zodiac]

Once again because you are really stubborn just because there are stronger characters does not mean she doesn’t need a nerf

[smoky cave]

Im not stubborn I just know what needs a nerf and what doesnt

[hot zodiac]

Strike todo has counters and he doesn’t have top 1 mobility looks like he’s fine as is

We solved balance guys

[smoky cave]

You dont see me dying to yellow kiri doing 200 damage to me in one go and going STRAIGHt into the channel to complain about how op he is

fyi strike todo is not fine

Albeit his punish for getting close is definitely....overrtuned

it does need to be tweaked

[hot zodiac]

By your logic yes he is

You are contradicting yourself

[smoky cave]

No i quiteliterally said earlier

strike shoto was an issue in his beta

But there are more factors to it

That was just one of the factors i mentioned

[hot zodiac]

And you’re completely ignoring his gamma

[summer wolf]

holy yap

[hot zodiac]

Just accept strikendo can get a beta nerf

[smoky cave]

Like I said there are many factors to consider

[hot zodiac]

And the last factor for kendo is just her beta

[smoky cave]

Strike Kendo beta is strong yes, but thats quite it. Other than that

The nerf to her movement was needed with the Beta roll and stuffs that was needed

[hot zodiac]

Let’s fix all of nagant and leave her sa the same

[smoky cave]

But if they nerf that too because mind you shes strike now

[smoky cave]

I never said that

[hot zodiac]

Then her sa will be the only broken thing about her and well all be fine and dandy

[smoky cave]

Nor does my logic work that way

[hot zodiac]

That’s because your logic just doesn’t work

[smoky cave]

I legit consider many factors before I decide if a character needs a nerf

[outer blade]

Oh we're doing this again huh?

[smoky cave]

You are looking at my logic one-dimensionally

[smoky cave]

Im sorry rapid hawks

[high smelt]

poor hawks..

well

not really

but

still

[hot zodiac]

A 260 attack that you can confirm into is fine guys

All because we nerfed the rest of her kit

[outer blade]

most nagant hate does, hence why so far we can only really agree on remove exploit and lower special action damage right now

[smoky cave]

Yes. You are trading damage that YOU the player are taking for that

[smoky cave]

Yes this is good

[hot zodiac]

Barely

[smoky cave]

Lower her SA damage a bit. Fix the hitbox too because its weird. And get rid of that exploit

Oh and the melee loops she is a sniper. She should not be melee looping like that

[hot zodiac]

It’s really not a lot to get max damage along with how fast any attack drains it

[smoky cave]

Also you do know what a strike character is right

And that they get extra damage from being a strike character

Look at all the other strike characters

Then compare it to rendo

[hot zodiac]

She’s still quite strong

[smoky cave]

That also plays a part in the factors i consider

[hot zodiac]

I’m not even saying gut her beta I’m saying reduce it by like 30-40 damage

[smoky cave]

I consider the role, the character, whether or not its avoidable, is it too fast to dodge, is the requirement to get such damage too minimal or not enough to justify it?

[hot zodiac]

You don’t need a confirmed guardbreak for taking like 60 damage

[smoky cave]

Is the effort it takes to get to that damage too small or too much

[hot zodiac]

Along with being able to confirm into it with long and powerful strings

[smoky cave]

What characters do you even play?

[hot zodiac]

Very little

[smoky cave]

????

Idk about that one

[hot zodiac]

Strikendo overhaul and rapidku

[high smelt]

I believe the point is we can say nerf a character but we need to consider everything else before just shouting it out

[smoky cave]

Rapidku? Alright im out.

[hot zodiac]

Are you really standing in the middle of 4 fights or something

You are not taking that much damage that her beta is a large risk

Along with being able to escape quite effectively when needed

[smoky cave]

People take advantage of the fact that she does not have knockdown when she has that up to beam her. And if she doesnt have it? Now what? If she was too far to effectively use it on you then what? Even then she needs to mix up her gamma and beta and all that just to get the combo or the damage off you

Assuming the Rendo knows how to do that

[hot zodiac]

Basic positioning and decision making???

[hot zodiac]

And this is just a weird way of going about balancing as we will also get stuff like “nagant is bad because her players can’t aim”

[smoky cave]

This is what I mean when I say that nowadays everyone is flying- whats wrong with punishing players for playing rendo's game?

[hot zodiac]

You’re still getting punished when you get hit for an easy 220-230 damage

[smoky cave]

I mean....yeah you are being punished? You can also roll the move too btw

You can dodge beta you know that right?

You can dodge/roll stuff you do know this right?

[hot zodiac]

You can roll asskiri’s gamma aswell

Your point?

[smoky cave]

When they nerfed it im pretty sure they nerfed the speed of it

Okay so....dodge/roll it

Like it doesnt take a genius to know ts

[hot zodiac]

Nope they just changed the flash stepping is all

[smoky cave]

Time and dodge/roll it

[smoky cave]

This was good

[hot zodiac]

Is also doesnt take a genius to confirm it

[smoky cave]

You canT do that now without having gamma

Beta into gamma into melee or beta into gamma yknow the usual combo

[void ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/cut-it-out-dude-gif-7309611

[smoky cave]

As long as you dodge it you are fine

[hot zodiac]

Same way nagant got even worse after people realized you can confirm her headshot

[hot zodiac]

Just don’t get spotted by nagant lol

So easy lol

[smoky cave]

Okay but this is rendo not nagant

[high smelt]

i've hit this point

[hot zodiac]

Like dawg

[void ocean]

Gif is so perfect lol

I love it

[frail fable]

I blinked what happened to this thread

[hot zodiac]

A small beta nerf wouldnt even kill her why are you still here trying to argue it’s fine 😭

[void ocean]

Strike kendo is balanced

[smoky cave]

Perhaps maybe because i've become desentisized to it.

[hot zodiac]

You can become desensitized to bad things

Like harm and such

[void ocean]

14 seasons and still haven't become desensitized to ochacos bs

[smoky cave]

You are playing MHUR and you are telling me this is your biggest issue? Like sure its alot of damage. But damage comes quick in this game regardless and something like this needs a nerf

Ochaco will always be op i still think she needs nerfs but we all know thats not gonna happen

[hot zodiac]

No it’s not my biggest issue however that doesnt mean it shouldn’t be changed

[smoky cave]

it already got a nerf did it not?

[hot zodiac]

To the flash step

Oh and the defense got a small nerf

[smoky cave]

Soooo?

Like why does her return damage need to be nerf

You know whats crazy

you can just not hit her too-

[hot zodiac]

It is 260 damage

[void ocean]

Horrible argument lmao

[smoky cave]

i realized that afterwards xd

She can fk u up

[high smelt]

Its like its good points and then it hits that mark and its like "Uhhh"

[hot zodiac]

I’m just gonna put this here

[bold fulcrum]

respectfully

what are you saying

[void ocean]

😭

[hot zodiac]

If he wished to roll or avoid it I can easily jump out of my gamma and stun him with alpha or simply hold to hit him

There are so many ways where he is just screwed and there’s nothing he can do because I have a kill button

[void ocean]

Should've rolled

Smh

Lock in

[smoky cave]

Can you blame me for thinking high dmg numbers like this is normal? 😭 Like please- I've gotten used to it atp

[hot zodiac]

That’s a bad thing btw

It’s not supposed to be normal for this stuff to just kill you because why not

[smoky cave]

Okay I personally think it doesn't need a nerf, but I'm not here to convince you she doesnt need a nerf- my point is that its strong. I, myself dont think its OP

That's literally the point of the argument at least...or at least for me

It is my opinion-

[hot zodiac]

And your reason why is because you have to hit her

[smoky cave]

When I fight a rendo I usually let them hold their beta as if they expect me to hit them and if they go for melees i use something to knock them so they dont cuz she cant rollout of beta anymore like she used to with the flashsteps she used to have

And gamma doesnt have the super armor that beta has-

I just havent struggled against any rendo's so I never thought she was that much- so its a personal experience for me

[hot zodiac]

They can still roll out of beta they just can’t flash step they can outmaneuver you with gamma they can alpha stagger and they can just leave and charge alpha

[hot zodiac]

Neither have I because they suck

[void ocean]

Weird how the strike kendo enthusiast is arguing against her while the non kendo is defending her

[hot zodiac]

Like mic players

[smoky cave]

Fk mic players

[void ocean]

One thing we can all agree on

[hot zodiac]

I want my character to be balanced so I stop being disregarded

[void ocean]

[smoky cave]

Thats fair

[void ocean]

Valid and based

[smoky cave]

Maybe ive been paying too much attention to the bigger evils that i took a blind eye to the lesser evils

when they too are still op

But just overlooked at times

I overlooked it

I still think that rendo is the least of my problems in my games 😭

I havent even played te-

Oh.

Uh

[hot zodiac]

Aam and gang is still incredibly stupid and should be nerfed asap you’re not wrong but that still doesn’t leave strikendo and some others exempt from being nerfed for the games health

Even when being powercrept previously top 1 picks are still strong

[void ocean]

People look at the new shiny thing and forget all about the other menaces

[smoky cave]

https://tenor.com/view/momo-ayase-dandadan-ayase-momo-cute-pout-gif-17102106573324234335

[void ocean]

Fair and balanced

[smoky cave]

i cant breathe

OKAY OAKY

BUT THIS IS WHEN SHE HAD FLASHTEP

[void ocean]

It doesn't matter

She still does that

[smoky cave]

Alright thats fair

She does need a nerf to her numbers

A bit

[high smelt]

i haven't seen a single strike kiri mention and that shocks me a little ngl

[smoky cave]

Dont even

[high smelt]

if yall REALLY wanna talk

LMAO

[void ocean]

He hasn't been brought up but we can discuss him

Oh wait

There is no discussing

He should just be removed

[smoky cave]

There is no discussing

I cant say anything

[high smelt]

[smoky cave]

I wanted to because i use him from time to time

But after I faced off a red kiri using rendo i didnt stand a chance because he could cancel stuff out faster than i can

It was legit a cancel battle

[void ocean]

People who defend Kiri are my least favorite kind of person

He is so ludicrously broken it is insane

[smoky cave]

But I defend Yellow Kiri 🥺

[void ocean]

[high smelt]

but yeah no the whole argument just now was kinda nice

i will admit i kinda started losing it when you brought up dodging

💀

[smoky cave]

I did lose it from there-

I started to falter as i took a look

at my own clips

a little later on

I really thought they nerfed her numbers already

But i was wrong-

[void ocean]

Everyone makes mistakes.

[high smelt]

No worries, just try again!

[smoky cave]

That and nowadays every character is hitting you for more than what she hits you for so im like-

Its a problem but like others can do the same thing with either less or more effort

[void ocean]

I think part of the issue is she's broken for different reasons than a character like aam

They're both busted, Kendo can just look more bearable in comparison

[high smelt]

No I get cause it really is just so much bs in the game now that its hard to care for the lesser evils as much even though they still have great capabilities of being a problem

[smoky cave]

YES YES THIS

[void ocean]

Strike Kendo is still in my top 3 most hated characters and will remain there until they gut her tho

[smoky cave]

This is what I meant when I said I was desentisized to it. It's legit become the norm

Everything goes so fast

[hot zodiac]

Yeah this stuff still happens (this was pre alpha and gamma nerf fyi)

[high smelt]

Like the way strikes work she is doing it correctly but overtuned

imo

cause strike characters damage should be a built up factor

[void ocean]

Momo got outplayed, should've simply shielded better

[high smelt]

but if i can TOD in one interaction idk abt that

[hot zodiac]

I saw a vid that I’d say explained strikes well through racking up damage into a kill shot

But like with nagant the kill shot is too much and it caused way too many issues

[smoky cave]

The thing about strikes is that I expect them to do insane amounts of damage in one go. So something like rendo doing "said" insane amounts of damage in "said" one go is like normal to me

[hot zodiac]

Shouldve permeated

[void ocean]

Strikes doing strike damage is fine but roles don't matter anymore

Any role can do any damage

[hot zodiac]

Unfortunately

Look at rapidku having great damage on a couple moves for no reason

[high smelt]

for me its more "How" they go about it, rather than if they can, at this point

[void ocean]

Kuro is a support and could do almost 400 for landing one beta before

[smoky cave]

Now he cant T-T

[high smelt]

like if a strike character has rapid matching movement (even though they shouldn't) is there a bigger drawback in comparison to a rapid when using said movement ability

[void ocean]

100+ damage instant knockdown alpha

Super fun to fight

[hot zodiac]

160 difficult to avoid gamma

[smoky cave]

i think this was fine tho because hes using his escape tools to do this kind of damage to you

Like half of his charges to do this

Leaving him vulnerable

[void ocean]

It was not healthy for the game

But

Now nobody is

[hot zodiac]

I personally would say that wasn’t great but I do see the argument because I find it is a regular issue with kuro

[void ocean]

I have more issues with his revive than his beta

But I just hate all revive moves cause it's a horribly designed crutch mechanic

[smoky cave]

Did I mention that kuros entire kit has bugs that severely impact his gameplay

[smoky cave]

This includes the revive when it just doesnt do what it says it does

[hot zodiac]

I more just find him annoying and idk what I’d suggest as a nerf

[high smelt]

everytime i see kuro in a patch i ask if they fixed him and not caring about the buffs or nerfs

[hot zodiac]

What I have isnt too great

[smoky cave]

LMAO

atp yes

[hot zodiac]

Yeah I noticed hes been a lot more inconsistent

It sucks

[void ocean]

As of right now the only thing I want is them fixing his bugs and reducing range on his special

Everything else is fine

[hot zodiac]

Lowkey valid

[void ocean]

I dont really like how his core gameplay is just being a rat and sitting on the other side of the map with team heals

But that's just me

I think team heals are bad too

[hot zodiac]

I just find him annoying but I don’t want him to be changed too heavily

[smoky cave]

The beta having the coinflip of "Oooh ohh is it gonna teleporting your enemy? Nope? OH WELL"

[hot zodiac]

I like how hes more of a support but it’s so annoying

[high smelt]

is it gonna teleport you back even don't u didn't go through it again? Maybe

[hot zodiac]

Reminds me of launch permeation

[void ocean]

I'd rather deal with him than most modern characters tbh

Unfortunately the way he's designed promotes rat gameplay

[smoky cave]

Then you waste another charge because you thought the enemy went thru? Skill issue

[void ocean]

They'd have to rework him to change it

[smoky cave]

I dont like rat gameplay I kinda just fight with kuro. Although alotta teammates dont like that

They spam me in chat saying how much they "love me"

In spanish

[high smelt]

Its why I watch Jack J cause he's one of the few Hyper Aggressive Kurogiris

[void ocean]

Me as well

But most don't

[smoky cave]

I love aggressive kuro gameplay

Its so fun even better with accel

its the only gameplay i know

[void ocean]

"Optimal" Kurogiri gameplay is just waiting for your teamates to die with 30 revive cards and team heals in your pocket

[smoky cave]

If im not running in there with the fight and messing people up then I dont want it

[smoky cave]

Ewwww

Im supposed to just sit there and what?

Twiddle my thumbs?

[void ocean]

Me myself I scrap the whole time cause his melee is very fun

I enjoy Kuro

[high smelt]

cleanest air melee imo

[smoky cave]

You kno elite ball knowledge

Kuro melees

are so

Good

[void ocean]

Top 3 most fun melee in the game

I love it

[unreal quartz]

Best part of this is when you knock down the shigi, you know it. I love a rendo who knows when knockback has gotten too high and doesnt keep spamming someones I frames out of incompetence

[errant copper]

[loud stream]

Ok so...if you look out your window, you'll see those weird green looking stuff on the ground. Go touch that.

Oh well someone else can take that spot now

[high smelt]

the ibara's are growing

I musn't resist her prayers.

[smoky cave]

They've been like this for quite awhile there was more before xD

[jovial jolt]

We used to have 14 "Ibarawiththe___"

We have far dwindled

[smoky cave]

yes we have

[outer blade]

Wheres the guy who says no strike kendo uses alpha

[smoky cave]

so THATS how u do the melee inf combo

[vernal fossil]

???

dont mind me being late

[high smelt]

i mean its uhh, in the name

Fashionably of course

[smoky cave]

Mhm! It is indeed in the name

[hot zodiac]

It’s still not infinite

It’s long but not infinite

[left pulsar]

I haven't played this game in so long I need to derust myself in training after the new season starts

W combos as always REDgem

[full bone]

How do u guys do combo + beta cause i cant do it..every time i use beta after using combo it won't work

Even in lady naganttoo.. i can't use combo + special action..

[hot zodiac]

Idk I just sorta do it

It’s natural

[left pulsar]

If you press and hold the jump button while inputting another button, it will immediately stop your current input to follow up with the current button you're pressing

I hope I said that right

Like if you're doing a melee combo, hold jump and press beta button to immediately follow up with beta

[hot zodiac]

That

[wary orbit]

I will use this knowledge to inflict further turmoil

[hot zodiac]

Ok now that I’m not at school so I can actually respond

[hot zodiac]

Essentially just melee cancel but rather than cancel into a melee do a beta

I believe that’s what you’re trying to say

[left pulsar]

Yea actually that's it

[hot zodiac]

Pog

[bold fulcrum]

another character who will have a better shield than yendo

[high smelt]

my first instinct LOL

i'm just wondering what it operates on

Health? percentage? etc.

[outer blade]

Her shield isnt bad though, gets the job done

[smoky cave]

Its....pretty bad

Im gonna be honest

[outer blade]

how come?

[smoky cave]

• It comes out too slow
• Sometimes it doesnt work as intended.
• Sometimes it doesnt work at all.
• You cant block Rapidkus BS for some reason

[high smelt]

Remember when it was bugged and almost anything kinda just broke it?

[outer blade]

2 and 3 sound like the same one.... but you can't block rapidbakugo? can't remember having and issue like that. is it just like going past the shield or somethin?

[smoky cave]

Rapid deku i meant btw and yes now that u mention it rapid baku

[random edge]

[outer blade]

🤔

[bold fulcrum]

imo being inconsistent is one of the biggest weaknesses you can have in this game

and don't get me started of the startup of this move

when I'm Alpha gliding, opponents thinks that I'm attacking & protecting myself at the same time

but nobody knows that I'm not blocking anything 🤣🤣🤣

[indigo sinew]

should I get acceleration and embrittlement or willpower and acceleration for red kendo

[bold fulcrum]

dude is that a joke

every single shield in this game has a different gimmick

why did Yendo got the worst one bro 💔

• can't run
• couldn't jump until recently
• breakable
• 24 startup frames
• Can't use it when downed
• Can't drink while activated
• Inconsistent against melees
• no damage

[outer blade]

Tbf she was the first. Og character problems

Those were the days....remember how a low level deku beta could crack a level 9 shield

Ehhhhhh i mean in grounded fights his is nice i guess, having a downshield like he playin apex...

But we in everyone is in the sky era, what stops anyone from just hopin over him?

[unreal quartz]

Hmmmm

[smoky cave]

:/

[summer wolf]

melee changes could be really nice for yendo in theory

normally her full melee's DP is 400 > alpha adds another 100 and caps it at 500 evenly

new full melee DP is gonna be 250, which means she might be able to get better extensions with acceleration/speed cards

in theory she should be able to do full melee > melee 1 (350 DP atp) > alpha > clap (reset)

or full melee > melee 123 > clap

we'll see

[errant copper]

Ooh

[high smelt]

WAKE UP

[coarse cloud]

They removed it

[jade mist]

So uh Strike Kendo can't do 8 melees anymore

Everything instantly turns into air malee

[coarse cloud]

I lived on that combo 🫩

[outer blade]

Me who didnt live on that combo

[high smelt]

me who got more combos on yendo

https://tenor.com/view/mha-monoma-1b-gif-20297582

I can actually combo the 2nd chain melee on GP but its only true on accel

can't do it without accel

but if they are on HP you can chain the melee's without accel

[high smelt]

Nothing too crazy, still testing some combos out

[smoky cave]

😭

[high smelt]

rendo still has something!

[hot zodiac]

Oh thank god

[high smelt]

GP

u can probably still do something with M1 Skip tech after final hit gamma

just have to use alpha again

[lost swallow]

I didn't think to use Alpha thanks for this

[coarse cloud]

YESIRRRRR

[high smelt]

might as well send it here too, Day 1 of this season

[random edge]

I just pulled Kendo casual wear

Randomly

[wary orbit]

Whippity wine your tech is now mine

[summer wolf]

i keep forgetting to post clips here

whoops

anyway acceleration is yendo’s best tuning option now

better than wallrunner and/or embrit imo

but mainly if you run adventurer villain because level 11 accel makes it twice as good

[wary orbit]

Dang, should have rolled for it when I had the chance

[summer wolf]

it’s on the denki banner rn

you have a chance

unless ur broke

[high smelt]

funny cause

i rolled for it

immediately got tech denki when i already had him

rolled my eyes

and stopped

[wary orbit]

Nagant ran me dry 😭

[distant grail]

Tokoy counters strike kendo real good

Had a match where i just got my shield infront of a red kendo whenever she used her beta

Whenever she tried to do it my shield would block it and i would just melee her after it

[past cove]

Did Strike Kendo’s combos get nerfed?

[sour jetty]

yea, indirectly

[serene bronze]

aint no way they slowed down yellow kendo run speed

[high smelt]

haven't noticed a difference

[summer wolf]

why are people just making up placebo effects

first someone says yendo shield seems faster (it isnt) and now this

nothing else has changed guys be fr

[random edge]

@summer wolf @high smelt Y’all play yendo right. I just got her casual wear finally. I know that her dangerous variant is the best one but any other ones that are decent? For tuning I mean

[summer wolf]

dangerous is best for damage specifically

it gives her the highest damage potential overall for her moves

default casual wear is the best overall though imo

wallrunner/hp sucker or acceleration/hp sucker with subtunes based around alpha

[random edge]

Okay okay

[summer wolf]

depends on how you play kendo really

[random edge]

Semi aggressive

[summer wolf]

do you like wall runner or are you okay with her regular mobility

[random edge]

I’m okay with both honestly. Wall runner just gives me a better chance to catch my opponent when they run since I can’t alpha glide consecutively

[high smelt]

imo, play at least 4 matches, 2 with wall runner, 2 with accel, see which one u prefer

if u have a high incentive with combos i would especially recommend accel even while wall runner is just hella good for her

especially with the new DP changes to her melees

but since u said semi aggressive, wall runner may workout for you

but like i said just test both out first

In unranked ofc

[random edge]

Yeah yeah of course I’d be crazy if I did it in ranked 😭

Might need tips when it comes to alpha gliding better tho. I can do it on controller but only get like 1 or two off before I just sit there with the shield out like an idiot

[high smelt]

The moment you press jump and it activates, shield immediately afterwards and just press alpha, i can get a clip for you

[random edge]

Yea please

[high smelt]

usually u can wait till the one frame the shield is actually up (When the shield appears) but you can cancel earlier too

[random edge]

Is it too fast if I do it around the time I hear the sound q

[high smelt]

From my vids

[high smelt]

I mean in a way yes

but not really

Alpha gliding helps with faster movement and even in-battle kiting when trying to close the distance (Or just make sure you aren't getting hit, and making sure u hit ur alpha shots)

but the shield actually going up would be a instance of u just possibly blocking something (Which is kinda not gonna happen most of the time)

so its fine for you to just do it off rip without the shield going up

And if you use wall runner you do actually go a little faster off of alpha gliding from the wall's momentum, the wall running techs and what not

accel lets you do the air melees without any forward jump stats when alpha gliding (I personally just use an entirely different build when i plan on doing that constantly though)

all in all though, just Dash + Jump + Beta - Instant Alpha

[random edge]

Gotcha

I’ll send clips here every now and then for feedback. I apologize in advance for the randoms pings

[unreal quartz]

@high smelt hi

[high smelt]

hm?

[unreal quartz]

I was in ur game

I wa the mirio

We won

[high smelt]

ggs, idk why we got in a lobby full of full teams though lol

[past cove]

I started playing this game again and yeah Acceleration Assault Kendo is dumb

I starting to unrust the more I play

[spark schooner]

any time i play with a asskendo player (it doesn't matter which character i am) it always gonna result in the most jjk todo and yuji type shi possible

https://tenor.com/view/jjk-jujutsu-kaisen-season-2-mahito-yuji-itadori-gif-9246682004046251616

[high smelt]

its a requirement

[high smelt]

God bless this change

feed me more

[random edge]

Thoughts btw. Like is there room for improvement

Wait lemme also ( @summer wolf ) sorry for the ping. But I thought I’d be feedback from you too

[smoky cave]

Where ur air melees at

[high smelt]

Tbh you got it right, i won't comment on all the rounds being used on the first one though cause i'm sure u only did that to showcase, at most i would say, see if u can ever do it quicker (although its currently just fine), and also to make sure your moving diagonally

[high smelt]

doesn't work unless ur going off elevated terrain, using forward jump stats, or using accel/speed cards when doing alpha glides

[random edge]

Yea it was mostly to showcase. Otherwise I wouldn’t have used that many

Games have been decent as well due to the fact that I’ve been gliding

I won’t say my Yendo is back. But the rust is coming off

[summer wolf]

you don't need to alpha glide uphill

faster to just rapidly do air melee when scaling upward on slopes

[left pulsar]

Hm alright I guess I'll check it out

[random edge]

Gotcha

[obsidian island]

is there anyway to use the melee cancel combo on red kendo? or is it gone and i have to search for another thing?

[wary orbit]

Saw some people start whiffing alpha now instead

[obsidian island]

ty

[high smelt]

don't do it on gp though since its not true

unless u use accel/rapid cards

even though i don't recommend accel on Rendo lol

[eternal obsidian]

what was the change?

[past cove]

Had the feeling that accel wasn’t that great on Strike Kendo

[high smelt]

Her M2, M3, and M4 downpower was lowered from 100 to 50, so now she can land more hits

[high smelt]

Yeah, her abilities are already just fast as well, and her melee's are sharp/snappy enough to where her using it in any capacity wouldn't make too much sense

especially that rendos tracking is way more violent in comparison to yendos

most ur trying to do is just run faster when using it on rendo

whereas yendo, faster combo strings, faster alpha melts, faster claps, TINY bit faster shield, actual movement ability that gives her more versatility

list goes on

[quiet shale]

gotta protect your friends somehow

[high smelt]

lol i love that

[quiet shale]

I didn't even expect to actually get the hit on overhaul 😭 for once tracking melee worked with me

I just wish using movement inputs while meleeing with Kendo would just overwrite tracking then I can melee multiple people like that in the situations I need to. I've tried working around the tracking but my lord does it hate me

[quiet shale]

@summer wolf what's the red kendo way for leveling, I have my preference but it might not be the best and someone was asking about it 😂

[summer wolf]

you can kinda do whatever you want with her

i haven't used her as of the latest patch but typically i went for G4 or B4 first

4 4 4 is relatively nice into whatever you like most

for a while i was doing B4 > G4 > B9 > A4 > G9 > A9 but sometimes maxxing alpha first is the move

charge alpha value is strong

[quiet shale]

Thats kinda what I was at with it, it really is a preference since her abilities are all pretty solid. I generally tried to get everything to at least lvl 4 at first as well. Thanks brotha 😄

[smoky cave]

Where are those kind of teammates for me my luck ran out and all i get now are leavers

[random edge]

I was literally doing something like that earlier 😭

[high smelt]

i'm probably gonna make a combo vid

idek

[high smelt]

Dear peeps who usually lurk this chat out interest and doesn't usually play yendo

If you do not stay close to your grounded characters, please do not expect them to live if you are not going to cover them properly.

Shouldn't need to repeatedly ping to get ur attention

@summer wolf Why are u in my warmup lobbies 😭

[summer wolf]

mb

[spiral juniper]

Is strike kendo dead?

[hot zodiac]

not at all

[wary orbit]

Starting my Yendo arc are these the best options

Gonna have wall runner and probably fierce wind

[wary orbit]

Nvm doing acceleration, wall runner sucks

[soft osprey]

Is this strike or assault

[wary orbit]

Assault

Wall runner isn't reliable for me

[soft osprey]

Depends on your play style

It's already nearly heard to melee with assault

[wary orbit]

Mainly the fact it keeps making me accidentally run up benches and can't run up most walls

[soft osprey]

Her gamma and alpha are your best friends

[wary orbit]

Yea

Need to alpha glide more

[soft osprey]

Use the shield for that

[wary orbit]

Yeaa

Played her back in s1 before all the tuning and stuff

Feel so rusty now

[soft osprey]

She's basically a short range strike kiri

[wary orbit]

[soft osprey]

But I barely see anybody play her

[wary orbit]

[spiral juniper]

what combos u do on gp enemies?

[hot zodiac]

gamma spin gamma slap m1 alpha

gamma slap m1 m2 m3 alpha

m1 m2 m3 alpha beta

[summer wolf]

wanted to remind people that we do have a kendocord for those interested in learning/discussing either kendo

a little more open of a place to talk about things there

if you want an invite and you aren't annoying dm me

[unreal quartz]

Wallr takes getting used to the tech on yendo, its one of the best for her in the end, but accel is arguably the best. Ability manifest is a good pair with accell because you can use heal or speed cards and they last way longer

[tacit path]

That sounds fun

[tacit path]

I seen something wild you can do with acceleration on Yellow kendo. Idk if strike’sthe same because I think they might have different properties but acceleration mega goated on her

[unreal quartz]

Probably juicebox with a new combo lol

[tacit path]

Seen in briefly in another server. I don’t have acceleration on my acs with Kendo fits sadly to try it myself 😔

[high smelt]

i actually sent a lot of combos earlier that u could do with the new DP change

and its true on HP without accel

but i didn't send ALL of them

i still need to do that

unless rotty does it before me lol

[high smelt]

Yeah very simple

[tacit path]

I’m just happy to see that the rendo’s bread and butter melee chain still, I just seen the clip in the other server

[high smelt]

I was thinking about a combo video and just posting it on my channel but idek

lot of braining

[tacit path]

We have a possibility of another look at these dp changes, as Nejire comes probably with a patch (hopefully with a patch) in about 5 days

They made a massive sweep so they might do some revision, probably not tho at the same time

[summer wolf]

i plan on making a combo archive with notes soon here

because there are some nuances to some newer combos

namely that some extensions don't work on armored all might for some reason

[past cove]

For the last 2, you can do those combos without acceleration?

or is acceleration more likely to be a true combo?

[summer wolf]

you can

acceleration mainly enables you to do the same routes on GP with less of a gap between hits to be escapable

[high smelt]

its odd cause when doing it on him, it looks like he's getting launched oddly "higher" but its probably a collision issue with his body size

@summer wolf

Everyday Assault Kendo slowly becomes strike kendo

[jade mist]

Ah.

Im fighting rotty

[random edge]

You’ll be fine

[summer wolf]

i don't think that was a fight really

but i understand

[jade mist]

Yeah I kinda just heard shield and decided uppercuts of doom and despair

[summer wolf]

😶

[brazen ember]

I really love playing with Red Shoto✨

[smoky cave]

PREACH

Shoutouts to the Nagant for being a W teammate

[past cove]

I’ve started playing the game again and I’ve at least gotten to 8 to 14 KOs in a good ranked match but uh, not sure if I’ll get on that level

Epically in ranked

Also since I’m a console player

[brazen ember]

I love meleeing someone so much when they get back up… I’m very proud that I managed to do it to Lady Nagant

[random edge]

Anything is possible if you put your mind to it

[left pulsar]

Console players are limited to 60 fps max while PC players can go beyond and have the added benefit of precise aim if they choose to use a mouse (which makes my aim immaculate but I prefer to have both my hands on either a keyboard or a controller)

Sometimes I use mouse and keyboard while playing srb2 ctf mode but those days were long gone...

[smoky cave]

We are STRONGERRR BETTER

[left pulsar]

I can't with these randoms omg

But yes indeed

[smoky cave]

[left pulsar]

I always play on crossplay

Also I'm in a match rn

[smoky cave]

like its not worth fighting kota if it means spending the entire early game doing so

when u could be looting elsewhere

[left pulsar]

[smoky cave]

Before I forget, I wanna post this and say we ain't the only ones who are done with randoms. You can tell this guy's had enough of em and I can't even blame him

Wait you were Nagant?

If so thank you for being a W teammate I come across very few competent team players like you whenever I solo q 🙏

[dusty summit]

Thinking of getting rid of wallrun for accel on yellow kendo, thoughts?

[summer wolf]

as a long time wallrunner main for yendo, accel is the better choice now

especially if you have her adventurer outfit for the lvl11

[dusty summit]

i was thinking so because new yendo melee has such insane combo potential

[summer wolf]

bump

[ebon flower]

no, my name in MHUR is "Itsuka Kendo"

[left pulsar]

Ooooh so that's you

Noted

[ebon flower]

yessss its meee

i was Itsuka & u were momo

[left pulsar]
