And he can still rush you down easy

icy dome
#

He’s not #1

#

He’s S tier, but there’s characters that are better and more annoying

icy dome
#

Shinso and rapid Ochoko for example

zenith grail
#

😭

icy dome
#

Only time I dislike running into dekus is when they’re using trance blow
Otherwise they’re not all that

#

He’s not some unkillable god that can’t be beat

#

It’s rlly just a skill check on the community

zenith grail
#

because you face bad ones

#

Shinso isn't nearly as strong as rapidku

icy dome
#

Ah yes, been ace rank for the past few seasons since I came back and I only face bad ones…

zenith grail
#

Ochaco is maybe like top 5 or 6 after her nerfs

zenith grail
icy dome
# zenith grail Shinso isn't nearly as strong as rapidku

He definitely is
On console his aim assist makes it so you basically never miss
His beta is super good mobility especially for a red character
And he gets wayyyyy to many attempts to hit you with his alpha, and when he does it’s basically a guaranteed shield crack
The only ones your escaping are the bad players

zenith grail
#

You could go ask every Shinso main in this server and they would tell you Rapidku is better.

icy dome

Beta isn't all that, especially the quintuple smash.

icy dome
zenith grail
#

Shinso would take the alpha to the face because he wouldn't be able to get close yes.

icy dome
icy dome

#

But we did though

zenith grail
native condor
#

I simply was a assault all might main back then so I simply gamma’d his beta everytime

#

Prime hawks had to fear all might

zenith grail
native condor
#

OFA deku more annoying

icy dome
zenith grail

#

Shinso is good but he's too simple and kinda easy to predict.

#

Which works for and against him

#

I still think he needs further nerfs but Rapidku just has way more going for him.

icy dome
#

Rapid hawks??

#

Ohhhh Shinso

#

Nvm

icy dome
icy dome

#

Personally
I’d reduce the alpha range
And increase the gamma consumed when using the lock on
Maybe touch the melee a little more, but it’s so essential for his kit doing to much could do a lot of damage
Imo smoke screen needs buffed
It’s so obvious where a Deku is when you see the cloud, u can’t hide in it
It’s only useful when your blocking a enemies fov when your running
Maybe increase the percentage used when using it and increase the overall size of the cloud

spare kiln
#

@icy dome they seriously wanna nerf him more?

icy dome
#

I’ll play Deku no matter what, so it doesn’t change much for me

spare kiln
icy dome
#

I’m not the one complaining 🙌🏽

spare kiln
#

I here killing him with stick drift using assault deku with practically no aim

icy dome
#

😂

spare kiln
#

Lemme guess shinso mains?

icy dome
#

That is the question isn’t it

#

I’d rather fight rapid Deku all day over Shinso

spare kiln
#

I hunt Ochakos for a living btw

#

They start popping thier pants when they hear overdrive

spare kiln
#

@icy dome ENJOY ME whooping people the first clip is what i mean by hunting urarakas

icy dome
#

Nice clip

#

Even if Deku is strong he’s just so fun
He feels like final arc Deku and that’s what I love about him

zenith grail
#

and add more gauge use from overdrive

#

and sure idm buffing smokescreen just a bit aoe wise

zenith grail
#

also I play Nejire, Yafo and Aizawa.

#

Good for you if you can kill dumb rapidku's, I've killed my fair share as Nejire, doesn't make an actually good one or the character itself any less broken

spare kiln
spare kiln
#

Melee is fine 142dmg per beta is fine gamma doing 160 is fine

#

Alpha is meant to be a knock down move

#

If you find it so "ez" to kill him stop whining about it

#

I also play shoto other deku version some nejire Ochako

#

I kill him just fine

zenith grail
#

Then you're facing bad deku's?

#

Especially as Nejire lol

#

I also didn't say anything about the beta or gamma dmg and I didn't say it was easy to kill him

#

Please actually respond to my points if you're going to ping me and not put words in my mouth

spare kiln
#

99% he will dash to you

zenith grail
#

1v1?

spare kiln
zenith grail
#

Lol

#

Kinda expected

#

anyway yeah like I said, he's predictable because 90% of rapidku's want to overdrive and melee spam

#

face one who knows their alpha exists

#

and you're unlikely to actually win

spare kiln
#

I locked another rapid deku in zone

zenith grail
#

I mean yeah I wouldn't say he's unkillable but against a really good one you're not going to win

#

purely if we put the best rapidku against the best whatever 2nd character you think exists

#

out in the open

#

the rapidku will win most of the time

#

imo

spare kiln
#

Alpha needs justice lol

spare kiln
zenith grail
#

My point was more about equalizing the skill levels of the players

#

if you put a really bad player on rapidku vs a good and experienced one on nejire or shinso

#

yeah the latter probably have a way better chance

spare kiln
#

Zero patience span

zenith grail
#

well just gotta know who you can do it too

spare kiln
zenith grail
#

either shoto or dabi it's pretty hard/impossible to get close consistently

spare kiln
#

If u want fairness play titanfall 2 its mostly fair

zenith grail
#

vs good-great solo queue mfs on the other teams

#

rapidku will win

#

thats a more realistic scenario

spare kiln
#

What else was i supposed to do?

jaunty rune
#

Yeah rapidku isnt top one

#

Hes still real high but not the best in the game

#

That goes to techrio

simple cosmos
#

and he does counter rapid deku easily especially now

jaunty rune
#

the fact he has a great dps great movement and is constantly permeating is stupid

#

you should not be hitting him

simple cosmos
#

exactly and we don’t wanna talk about counter cuz that right there is a problem its self

#

not saying its hard to avoid it but still it’s a whole mind game with that

fringe blade
#

Best Ofa deku tuning

icy dome
#

I agree his alpha is overtuned
But adding more onto his mobility and smoke screen are nice compensations

zenith grail
#

I meant it taking more gauge to use overdrive

icy dome
fringe blade
#

Best Ofa deku tuning

This is what I'm running

you can swap the run speed to gp, don't think it's actually doing much, just wanted to see

fringe blade
#

Any combos?

#

You got a build for willpower and perception

tropic lantern
#

yeah one sec

tropic lantern
#

There's a combo somewhere above that's consistent

#

Pretty much the only one rn

hybrid sage
#

do deku cobos exist?

#

every combo video i see on youtube is old and pached so they dont work anymore

craggy inlet
#

it works sometimes for me

#

ik how to do it but im gatekeeping

#

if it gets out its gonna get nerfed

hybrid sage
#

send me perssonal

craggy inlet
#

no

lean oyster
#

is a9 b9 g9 the best?

#

Also should u be using beta in places when u can use gamma tracking?

tropic lantern
tropic lantern
#

Exception being if someone’s in the sky and gamma is guaranteed because you can alpha while they’re spiking to the ground

lean oyster
#

No you explained perfectly thank you

I feel like there’s a notable difference between normal dekus and trance blow dekus

native condor
#

I’ll never understand bashing people because they don’t want to play a character the way you want them to 💔

tropic lantern
#

That’s really it

zenith grail
#

its overkill and shows a lack of skill on your part

zenith grail
#

and she's still the best killer in the game without a doubt

serene holly
#

100%

zenith grail
#

remember when they nerfed awakened awareness for her

serene holly
#

Yeah that was really funny

zenith grail
#

but they never actually said it was her

#

they should really just kit overhaul her at some point lol

serene holly
native condor
zenith grail
#

No one's dictating and you've moved on from your original argument now

#

in which you noted it was bashing people not dictating

native condor
#

Yeah they bash and tell them how to play the game

#

They do it simultaneously

zenith grail
#

Who here is demanding OFA Dekus not play with trance blow?

native condor
#

Isn’t that what the argument is for? but anyway I realize I’m being a hypocrite for saying you shouldn’t bash them everybody got free will so idrc anymore ✌️

zenith grail
#

everyone is pretty aware you can't force anyone to do anything

#

if you could I would have made shinso and iida's go extinct by now

formal brook
#

I keep getting baited im so close to embrittlememt

icy dome
#

I just hope they nerf trance blow is all

#

I don’t mind dekus

#

But dekus running that tunnjng make the game miserable to play

#

Shinso atleast has to put a decent amount of effort into pulling off his gamma to get that effect
Deku, it doesn’t take a lot and value is wayyyyy more than it should be

spare kiln
#

Yall when using gamma lock on is there a different between holding it until the lock appears and holding it until it shots it self after a while?

#

@icy dome

icy dome
#

Not to my knowledge

#

Sometimes I use it tho and the hit misses which is super annoying

spare kiln
icy dome
#

I wouldn’t think so

#

I’ve never noticed anyway

spare kiln

#

Ya
Idk the difference
Maybe there is one and I’m just a bot

Have not noticed one either

It’s pretty tight yeah

#

I’m not great at it

tropic lantern
#

It’s very difficult

#

More consistent in lobbies than training in my experience

#

Also it only started happening 2 days ago for me, not since the day of the patch, not sure why

tropic lantern
#

nvm it's an Allmight/AFO thing

#

Doesn't work on the small characters

jaunty rune

#

It’s more than just those two

#

oh thanks

only starting playing 3 weeks ago so I wasn't there for that

Really good to know

You just dodge at the right time

serene holly

#

When was the last time this game was fair

tardy minnow
serene holly
tardy minnow
#

Ah

#

I wonder if it's easier to pull off on PC since there is less input delay

#

Higher FPS and all

hexed tendon
#

is console stuck to 30 fps or something

tardy minnow
#

60 but higher FPS basically means less input delay in general

hexed tendon
#

ah ok

#

is there any documentation of who can and cant do perfect cancels and how easy it is for them

#

i figured out hado's melee combo tech after a bit and found out her's is one of the easier ones

tropic lantern
#

The "perfect" cancel timing on #1420328186213826691 message those characters is pretty generous

#

More consistent than going for a loop after the patch

calm marlin
#

||all i can say that ofa deku should be having his red chain with alpha to make look carnage deku ||

tardy minnow
#

So from my understanding:

  1. Do the melee combo up until the first/second uppercut
  2. Buffer the dodge roll while doing said melee combo
  3. Sprint jump into aerial melee attack

@tropic lantern Can you confirm this is the precise instructions? At least for OFA Deku

icy dome
calm marlin
#

yep

tropic lantern
tardy minnow
#

Much appreciated. Trying to see how feasible this is on console at lower FPS but also want to make sure I'm doing the correct inputs in order as well. Every person I've seen do it is on PC haha

tropic lantern
#

and explain the clips inputs

#

gotcha, should be doable

hexed tendon
#

yeah same im not fully sure of the order of inputs

tropic lantern
#

It looks weird but you don't actually press your jump ever

#

I'm guessing you roll off the model and it gives you an air melee or something

hexed tendon
#

just to clarify, its not done like other characters' melee cancel tech right?

#

hado doesnt need a dodge she just needs specific timing on the button itself

tropic lantern
#

I literally only play OFA deku so I couldn't tell you

hexed tendon
#

ah

tropic lantern
#

but the way I'm doing it, it's a dodge roll at an exact time of your melee chain

tropic lantern
#

so what I do to this Deku and what I do to this AFO are the exact same inputs

#

It's basically just a matter of pressing your dodge as soon as your 2nd uppercut will go off

#

Could've continued the chain on the AFO but I'm bad and haven't practiced that

#

for whatever reason you jump roll off certain characters lol

tardy minnow
#

What the heck, that is so strange that the game does that

#

Do you buffer your dodge roll or do you just press it after the 2nd uppercut?

tropic lantern
#

Feels like it's basically at the same time as your 2nd uppercut

#

If I mess up a loop it’s by rolling too early and cancelling my 2nd uppercut if that gives you an idea for the timing

#

So no buffering

tardy minnow
#

Got it. I'll practice it and see if I can pull it off consistently on the PS4/PS5 version. Thanks alot for the insight

#

Thought the inputs were more complex haha

tropic lantern
#

Yeah it looks incredibly strange lol

lucid storm
#

i've been at this for a hour, got nothing

#

how do you bufffer a dodge roll?

lucid storm
#

i did it.

nimble citrus
#

PLEASE TELL ME

lucid storm
#

I got you

nimble citrus
#

i learned how too i believe

#

you roll like right before the 2nd uppercut right

#

@glossy fulcrum

nimble citrus
lucid storm
#

lol

#

spend time to perfect rolling before it,
and you'll be great at it

nimble citrus
nimble citrus
#

like you say melee out of the roll but how

nimble citrus
#

how did you do that air melee

tropic lantern
#

if you're not staying in the same place then it's not the perfect timing

#

or you're doing it on a character that doesn't give you the air melee

lucid storm
#

i can do it constantly

nimble citrus
#

i just did it

tropic lantern

tropic lantern
#

are you not asking for the order of skills?

serene holly
# fringe blade ?

They're saying to do alpha first and then beta and gamma is preference on what you want to level before the other one

fringe blade
serene holly
#

If you want yeah you can also max gamma before beta

fringe blade
#

What you think

serene holly
#

I think gamma should be maxed first so you don't have to worry about it running out as much and then max alpha but if you wanna max alpha first I think you should do gamma after alpha

serene holly
fringe blade
serene holly
#

Good build Perception lets him track easier and Willpower makes him even harder to kill

fringe blade
#

I use the assist gear combat

serene holly
#

Tune to your play style not to meta is what I always say

#

Which is why I'm playing frog with Embrittlement and Acceleration because it's too fun

fringe blade
serene holly
#

I'd say Embrittlement and Card Duplication because Iron Fist is kina mid and the faster levels from Card Duplication makes him super annoying really quick

fringe blade
#

This build

serene holly
# fringe blade

Yeah that build is good. I'd replace a few of the small slots but otherwise it's good

serene holly
# fringe blade Which ones

Regular All For One -> Tech Dabi

Assault All Might -> Assault Endeavor

Kurogiri -> Chisaki

Strike Bakugo -> Present Mic/Endeavor

fringe blade
serene holly

Basically a constant damage buff

BRO PLEASE PEOPLE I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO FIT IN THE AIR MELEE AFTER DEKUS 2ND UPPERCUT I CAN DO HIS OLD INF COMBO JUST NOT THE AIR MELEE

lucid storm

hexed tendon
#

and its because when you roll directly at them for the perfect roll cancel, it messes with some collision and forces you into the air

nimble citrus

Would u happen to know it

I think deku needs a biggest nerf the biggest nerf anyone will ever see bigger then rapid hawks bigger the twice bigger the nejire plz and thx u

tropic lantern
#

D1 Deku hater, love the energy

loud smelt
lean oyster
#

is trance blow + embrittlement the way to go now since he can't do melee combos anymore?? it's good for camping wakeups

zenith grail
#

even if it takes 10 seasons

spare kiln
#

Hes never getting nerfed look at red deku

#

Been the same for ages

zenith grail
loud smelt
#

And u often don't see a lot of strike deku or assault deku just the ofa Deku mostly u rarely see them just ofa deku is annoying

grand garnet
loud smelt
#

Give him the hawks treatment

zenith grail
#

no one plays him and those who do only like 20% have the aim to actually make you realise how disgusting he is

#

ofa deku is pretty easy and you see him a lot

#

but ofa deku is still ofc better either way

grand garnet

Ya red deku is not a problem to me to just rapid deku needs to get nerfed hard

frigid cave
#

Im good at aiming but im on console if that devalued me

spare kiln
#

If yall that bad at killing rapid deku get skill am killing hin with red deku and assault deku over here

zenith grail
#

like yeah i can kill a armoured allmight with overhaul

#

doesnt make all might bad or overhaul s tier

spare kiln
#

Infact u can dodge the lock on if you have enough momentum

zenith grail
#

buddy a rapidku can just time your dodge so he can hit his alpha lmao

#

I hate people who think "just dodge/roll" is a good argument to anything

spare kiln
#

Ur playing the slowest three characters of all time and you expect to beat a rapid ☠️

zenith grail
#

if the move isn't something like tech shiggy's alpha

zenith grail
#

or well I do sometimes but not often

spare kiln
#

And kurogiri isn't good in 1v1 battles

zenith grail
#

I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about

#

besides that last part

spare kiln
#

Look at ur roles

#

☠️

zenith grail
#

literally both faster than yellow deku lol

spare kiln
#

Not rapid deku ☠️

zenith grail
#

lets 1v1 later

#

I'll go rapidku

spare kiln
#

You can never win against a rapid using a slow characters unless ur like the assault deku mains with god lvl aim

spare kiln
zenith grail
#

lol alright then this argument will go nowhere

spare kiln
#

What do you want me to do leave my major to 1v1 your ahh?

zenith grail
#

you spend your free time ragebaiting instead?

spare kiln
#

Get skill stop whining we had way mor broken charters and all of us adapted

spare kiln
zenith grail
#

then this makes you doubly sad rn

spare kiln
zenith grail
#

armoured allmight is the only contender

#

I adapted too

spare kiln
zenith grail
#

a good rapidku will still beat you most times unless you're playing certain characters

spare kiln
zenith grail
#

assault endeavour lmaoo

#

like yeah he has good damage and a beta stunn but thats about all he has

spare kiln
zenith grail
#

if you're losing to him in 1v1s I'd quit out of shame

spare kiln
#

Want to win against rapid deku stop using slow characters they cant win

#

Yall seem to only whin about deku skills first it was red deku now this

#

Like whin about someone else already

zenith grail
#

nah

#

your favourite character shouldn't be op because you like him and you beat some noobs once

spare kiln
#

Ragebait ahh

zenith grail
#

like yeah you play ace ranked pc lobbies, cool, so do i

#

I see golds and experts matched up

#

and also, getting to ace is not that hard, at all

#

so the skill level of these lobbies are generally harder but for all the players it dubious at best

spare kiln
#

Then stop whining ☠️

#

This game will die to all justice before they nerf him

zenith grail
#

People are allowed to complain about a character

#

you are the one whining about people whining

#

quite redundant

spare kiln
#

Haven't you realised they milking players for money lately

spare kiln
zenith grail
#

you are whining right now

spare kiln
#

If u want fairness mhur aint that game

zenith grail
#

so now you've given up pretending he's not op?

spare kiln
spare kiln
#

Want a video record proof of it being black?

zenith grail
#

if this doesn't work then we can just stop here

spare kiln
zenith grail
#

might just do that anyway i cba lol

spare kiln
#

So your proof is broken and you stop the argument

zenith grail
#

there is no proof dude

#

this is a subjective argument

#

you either think he's broken or he isn't

#

you can be delusional all you want

#

what I had was just a clip of me gamma tracking a red kendo 3 miles away

#

and no thats not an invitation for you to yap about how thats a skill issue on her part lol

spare kiln
#

And the gamma is meant to be a track move why would they delete the move it self

#

☠️

zenith grail
spare kiln
spare kiln
zenith grail
spare kiln
zenith grail
#

you're so desperate to paint me as losing to OFA deku you think an OFA Deku player could not criticise this character themselves

#

I like armoured allmight but I can say he needs to be nerfed stat lmao

spare kiln
zenith grail
#

If you can't do that for a character you play you shouldn't be discussing balance

zenith grail
spare kiln
zenith grail
#

nah his air melee also not needs to lock on from 7 feet away

#

and his ground alpha also needs to be either lowered in damage or make it a 2 knock

#

then I'm fine with him

#

his gamma isn't that big of a problem for me but it's a pretty skillless move

spare kiln
#

Tf is ur fps mine never locks on unless 3 meter difference or less

zenith grail
#

whatever it tops out at

#

I've got mine on unlimited

spare kiln
#

U pc?

zenith grail
#

yes

spare kiln
#

Cuz high fps could be the issue just like the aim assit issue

#

Can u try a game but cap ur fps to 60?

#

Tell me the range after

#

Cuz if its an fps thing you should report it

zenith grail
#

dont think fps effects lock on range

#

i'll try in training mode

spare kiln
zenith grail
#

Yeah but that was tracking the mouse to your enemy

#

Both his melees have lock on

#

Just like strike kendo and Yafo’s ground melee

#

and that’s fine

#

just his should be a bit neutered compared to those two and his air melee is a bit egregious

#

the main point anyway is lock on distance not that they have lock on

vivid bison
#

Everytime I come to this channel it's a bunch of argumentative yap

calm marlin
#

you should see they wanna hard nerf on ofa deku submit channel

zenith grail
#

to the yap or anything else otherwise

vivid bison
zenith grail
#

use alpha a lot

#

use gamma if they wakeup in the air

#

realise air melee will track from californa to washington

jaunty rune
zenith grail
jaunty rune
#

Oh

#

Yeah that’s unaffected aswell

zenith grail
#

yeah is what i woulda thought too

jaunty rune
#

Rn the only thing that fps changes is if you can melee loop or not

#

It’s a lot more situational now but switch cannot loop whereas anything better than a toaster can

fervent kite
#

The actual lock-on can be knocked off easily

#

But if he does get to fire he'll follow you wherever

native condor
#

Everybody complaining about ofa deku when tech shiggy casually abuses him

tropic lantern
#

You should not be getting abused by tech shiggy

#

Are you not using alphas?

native condor
#

I did it to a lot of dekus

tropic lantern
#

Don’t melee him lmao

#

Character has 0 ways to hit you

#

If he alphas you get free damage

native condor
#

Or roll closer to him and alpha

tropic lantern
#

OFA Deku alpha does not keep you grounded

#

And also it has a ton of range even if you do wanna go for the grounded alpha

native condor
#

Are you taking about jump alpha?

tropic lantern
#

Either works

native condor
#

I can show you that tech shiggy counters rapid deku

tropic lantern
#

The character does nothing into rapid Deku

#

If the Deku decides to play on top of you and on the floor that’s great

#

But tech shiggy has no aerial game

#

And no range that isn’t the most dodgable thing in the game

zenith grail
#

like yeah oh jeez he has a 350 dmg combo

#

you can just fight an alpha war and win

proper kite
#

I'm probably not the first to ask this, but would it be better if skill Y could have a side effect? ​​Like, according to canon, if the skill wears off and goes on cooldown, Deku himself will be immobilized for a while.

serene holly
#

A good One For All Deku will be using their own roll alpha tech to cancel alpha if they need to but One For All Deku's alpha comes out way faster so he just wins the alpha war

#

If Deku gets close he's gonna get a Tech Shiggy beta to the face or an alpha combo so just use alpha

tropic lantern
#

They captured the canon of the ability perfectly

jaunty rune
#

You can have it constantly active and it already has a pretty short cooldown for what it does I think it’s fine giving it a burnout

fervent kite
#

Take that off of him and you get Rapid Hawks 2

#

It already has some unexpected restrictions like not reloading even if you touch a wall, not activating on downed opponents

fringe abyss
#

Then again this is Byking

#

Never gonna happen

fervent kite
#

The reason the quirks shine is that they're all support/inoffensive quirks in the hands of a guy that is crazy enough to use them, so his moves being 90% base OFA with a stacked quirk behind them is lore accurate

#

The only quirk that isn't present at all is Danger Sense, it's only in quotes

The main thing tech dabi shuts down is deku’s ability to melee or use gamma that’s about it

# tropic lantern We can not be losing to Tech Dabi

I think its cause most (not all) dekus are spamming gamma lock on or trying to go in for melee loops asap and dabi can just wittle em down with betas or hit with gamma (thats what I've done, tech dabi was my first main.) dabi is good at countering must melee characters especially if they try writing him off and hold w

hey bluekus be honest with me. Do you ever think to use your alphas

jaunty rune
#

Ye

fringe abyss
#

Its my fight opener I save gear shift at max to disengage & betas to stop rezes or just mobility

Honestly better question do we use smokescreen

When alphas are the solution

#

if I am out of beta. I alpha

if I am out of everything gamma lock on

people learned to punish bluekus via not letting him be alone

We lost a match because my blueku didnt want to use his alphas

They were fighting a yellow deku with space hop and he couldnt reach him

he just rushed in stupidly

and they still lost

Probably thought about it cause of being a 'meta character'

but yeah it was a very winnable game

but blueku didnt wanna use his alphas

and he was ignoring my pings

I lowkey get mine to seven first then start leveling beta

Gamma into melee is inconsistent but if you get the melee it does work

#

Also gamma lock on against an assault Deku will get you killed

Better off playing it safe by taking him off of the air with alphas and then approach

oh on a 3v3

yeah then

either A. spam dodge roll and time his landing or B. spam alpha

Like do people not know how busted that is?

fringe abyss
#

I go alpha, wake up melee wakeup beta (get em while im charging it) the. The quintuple slam, and gamma lock on if needed if not alpha spam

#

Which is extra evil with my current build being Electrification & Perception

serene holly
#

I use it to knock down spam people who mash on wake up, slow down people trying to run away, interrupt enemy animations, give covering fire towards a doorway so people can't just walk in, there's so many things you can do with it

#

Especially with Smokescreen you can just cover the door in smoke and spam alpha

serene holly
#

The smoke itself will probably deter people from following you because they can't see what's happening

fringe abyss
#

Plus fajinn giving us space hop for quick air alpha chip

serene holly
#

True I also barely see people use Fa Jin and Smokescreen

#

Surprisingly I see Smokescreen used more than Fa Jin

#

I think a lot of One For All Deku players are ignoring how much utility he has and are just trying to go for melees, beta, and gamma

#

I could keep ranting but that's the focal point of my thoughts on him

#

Also give bro a "burn out" like Iida does if gamma reaches 0% why does this character have a rechargeable Recipro

serene holly
#

🤝

grave patio
#

I'd like to propose the opposite approach:
only use alpha projectiles, beta kick, and gamma like recipro. Ignore the fact that he has a secondary move set that can be unlocked by melee. Ignore that he has two special action. Simply play him as a better yellow deku that has crouch shot as his grounded alpha, has two charges and more range on his kick, and has a sort of recipro without burnout for his gamma, the world would be so much more peaceful Shiozaki
[except when fighting armored all might, go all out vs that mf, that guy can sghijwqgdb]

fringe abyss
serene holly
fringe abyss
#

All overlooked his alpha and special action

#

I find other OFA's that just do melee and overdrive so easy to fight on characters like tech Dabi, those OFA's are sloppy and predictable so they end up eating my betas all the time

serene holly
#

I just spam beta on myself and win and if they use alpha I use gamma to force them to get close where I use beta again

#

Only problem is if they get high ground and use alpha Dabi explodes and perishes

People kinda stopped expecting Dekus to hide in real obvious smokescreens now that’s he’s been out for a while, I’ve gotten some heals I shouldn’t have been able to get just by plopping a smokescreen in the middle of a chaotic circle

So chat is embrittlement plus card dupe his best or just the standard. Yes I did scroll up and I’ve been running embrittlement and card dupe since this deku dropped. Love it btw but I wanna know if there’s something stronger to maximize my damage and or better be able to assist my team. (Just for clarification do not and I repeat DO NOT suggest trance blow)

Character is strong with whatever tuning you run

warped orchid

Yea that’s what I originally thought but lately I’ve too often ended up being the only surviving person on my team and always in a 1 v 3 against some absolute bs or just generally other deku’s running trance blow so I’ve kinda psyched myself into thinking maybe I’m just not playing well enough… ya know

If your team is getting aped you can spam grounded alphas

Ngl I don’t think Deku rlly needs a nerf anymore
Sure the lock on melee is a bit much, but it’s a essential part of his kit. If anything just brining it in a little would be fine
Gamma and beta fine imo
The alpha can be annoying, but it only does 100 damage at max while other characters do much much more damage than that

fervent kite
#

Well

#

It's also an instant knockdown on 99% of the roster

#

The 1% being shielded/armored characters

icy dome

Idk, I feel like it’s hyped up to be way more than it is
It’s very good done get me wrong, but the damage is on the lower side

icy dome
# loud smelt Did u really just say that

Idk bro, he don’t feel that wild to play or play against
He’s not even played very often either for a character that’s gased up to be incredibly over powered
Overtuned a bit sure, but busted? Nah

『Unknown tempture opinion: Ofa Deku shouldn't have Smokescreen. I feel like out of all of the quirks, smokescreen is probably the least favorite out of the fans. The SpA should've either been Danger Sense or black whip. 』

You’re like 20% worse than an assault Deku dps wise while having infinitely more mobility and a way easier kill combo once shields are broken

# tropic lantern What non rapid character besides Armored Allmight (maybe strike kirishima?) is f...

Aizawa, Shinso, Red Shoto, Compress, Kiri, Monoma (depending on copies)
Somewhat faster but not as much as the ones listed prior
Yellow Ochoko, Red hawks, and purple toga
Comparing dekus speed to rapids like Ochoko, froppy, all might, and lamillion is like night and day
It’s really just the momentum change they did last reason that really pushed some characters over the edge
Dekus dash dash pause and limited beta uses is good short term mobility
But others have it better

zenith grail
#

Deku’s speed isn’t the problem about him

#

It’s his absurd ground alpha and air melee tracking that locks on from 10 feet away

#

In terms of speed he’s rather mid tier tbh

#

Gets beat out by every other rapid not named twice

tropic lantern
#

The issue when compared to other rapids is he's 3 times more lethal than any of them besides rapid ochako

#

while having comparable mobility

#

also downplaying short term mobility is not good when that's what keeps you alive in final circles

icy dome
icy dome
icy dome
#

Just wanted to mention I’m not saying I don’t think Deku is strong
He absolutely is
I just don’t agree with the take that he’s busted and leagues above every other character

zenith grail
#

He’s above everyone barring armoured all might, I could see tech Mirio being above him too but he’s definitely top 3 in that case

zenith grail
#

short term mobility is just better in final circle than a large one

#

it’s not necessarily better

icy dome
tropic lantern
#

ur like the same speed of his dash with Fa Jin

icy dome
#

💀

tropic lantern
#

and that's if you don't knock him with alphas

icy dome
#

But to each their own I suppose

tropic lantern
#

just press spacebar with fa jin then

icy dome
#

Also depends on circle
Late game it’s not hard to catch them

icy dome
#

Not trying to be rude, you’ve made valid points

tropic lantern
#

You’re good, responding in between games is all

#

Overall I agree with what other people are saying though

#

His mobility complements his alpha really well and his melee is broken when you have the opportunity to use it

#

Air stall is pretty nuts

#

Character’s top 3

icy dome
#

As long as bro doesn’t get the rapid hawks treatment 🙌🏽

tropic lantern
#

He’s probably not getting touched and if he does it’ll be the wrong things

#

The fact their only concern with the first balance patch was the infinite it’s a pretty good sign for the character

#

Especially since they didn’t actually remove the infinite

icy dome
tropic lantern
#

Any changes to beta/gamma damage wouldn’t be much of a nerf to the character , especially gamma lock on damage

#

Removing the spike aspect from the gamma lock on would probably be healthy

#

No reason you should be able to fit in alphas because you hit someone in the sky

#

Making gearshift less efficient the character would feel it and you’d be way less safe needing to go for melees to reset it

#

If they wanted to patch the infinite it should probably actually be out of the game

#

And his air melee tracking is a bit absurd

#

I’m thinking they’re gonna nerf something that isn’t the alpha and it won’t do much to the character if I had to guess

#

I’m at work rn but I could together a better list

so would xbox and ps

spare kiln
#

Or mistakes

zenith grail
#

There has not been a single case of that in this game's life span

#

apart from fps related issues like tamaki's gamma

jaunty rune
#

He still maintains the insta hard knock 100 damage large af armored projectile that he can cancel into a beta or gamma which allows him to essentially parry moves when used properly (not something I want gone but it’s something he can do that makes him a lot stronger) what is essential a refreshable recipro an insta hard knock beta that can stagger you on startup which can net you more damage with a second aoe 200 damage variant and a 160 lock on gamma that can be used in combos

#

Also on 60 fps+ he has a consistent melee loop

but as we've already proved

it's not an fps issue

There are numerous posts about it

eh

#

there are only three ways to do it

spare kiln
zenith grail

  1. have the person already be high in the air when starting the melee loops
  2. dodge cancel tech
  3. be close to a ledge to shorten the roll

Am not familiar with a wall tech

spare kiln
jaunty rune
#

Dodge into a wall to reduce the distance you travel basically

tropic lantern
#

Promise you it is still incredibly consistent

#

I get an infinite loop atleast once a game

spare kiln
#

So what we conclude is the devs want him like that

jaunty rune
#

They don’t which is why he was nerfed however it wasn’t enough as it’s still possible

spare kiln
jaunty rune
#

It’s straight up not

spare kiln
#

How did yall not figure out those devs by now

zenith grail
#

I mean if they nerfed it to try stop the melee loops it obviously wasn't intentional

#

dodge cancel isn't intentional nor is ledge roll canceling

#

someone being already higher up is just an unfortunate part

#

I think they're fine with some melee comboing but not as much as you can do rn with those techs

spare kiln
#

Well it was reported if they don't stop it by next patch they want it like that

jaunty rune
#

You don’t know these devs do you

yet he was left alone in that department for 2 seasons

By your logic it actually used to fall slower too

Ah the goat no life

#

Yeah no I believe that was before his beta momentum change which meant if you looked up he would fall slower and if you looked down he would fall faster

#

Now it’s all a consistent speed and any momentum you get will force you at a forward angle which means you cannot fall downward unless you are not moving

Really messes with his combos
