Midoriya (OFA)

[spare kiln]

So technically am switching alot

Assault deku is fun ok😭

[meager wharf]

All this to say, the character needs nerfs but won’t get them because he’s not as easy as the rest to do well with so his problems aren’t as obvious

That’s why tech Shiggy is in the spotlight, his problem just takes tunings and a pulse

[spare kiln]

Tech shiggy is also annoying

[meager wharf]

For his own reasons

Devs won’t nerf revenge tunings

[spare kiln]

I noticed something actually

Why do i see more tech shigaraki than rapid dekus

[meager wharf]

My message earlier

He’s easy

[tropic lantern]

^^^^^

[spare kiln]

So simply they dont wanna bother aiming with rapid deku or learning shi

[tulip blaze]

Yea

Basically

Melee looping is harder then using a tuning build

[spare kiln]

I dont do melee loop

Nor bothered to learn it

[tulip blaze]

Well then u could be doing more with deku

[spare kiln]

If am fighting i wanna fight with giving them a chance to fight back

[tulip blaze]

Ill do that when playing with friends

But idrc in ranked

[spare kiln]

I WILL WIN WITH MY SKILL

[tulip blaze]

If I wanna give them a chance in ranked I just won't play deku

[tulip blaze]

Melee looping is still skill

The characters just broken

[spare kiln]

Me awaiting the day i see the word buff again

Cuz devs simp for rapids

[fervent kite]

He's also a rapid

They don't see nerfs often unless they're everywhere all the time

Rapid Hawks and Twice are simply a relic from the old management

[meager wharf]

I think Iida got nerfed pretty hard a long while back

Ochaco has been too but also long time ago

[fervent kite]

They've been getting pretty consistent buffs recently

[meager wharf]

I actually prefer characters fluctuating in strength over time

Yeah and I’m fine with that

[simple cosmos]

Rapid deku does need nerfs but when it comes down too it the devs not gonna listen any of us there gonna do what they think is best 💀

[meager wharf]

It’s really good for game health

[fervent kite]

Ochaco got a gamma change, not necessarily a nerf

They changed the time the gravity effect activated to match the animation

[tropic lantern]

this is more so dealing with the narrative that the character is fine

[meager wharf]

I’m talking way way back

[tropic lantern]

which some people in this discord seem to think

[fervent kite]

And she got a beta damage buff in the first patch of this season

[meager wharf]

Her beta was problematic

[fervent kite]

I remember that, but they also sorta reverted it so it's ultimately whatever

[meager wharf]

Yeah they did. But I’ll take that over the new character issues. Mostly Beamers

Nagant can hold deez

[fervent kite]

Nice that they're trying to make most characters viable in some way

[tropic lantern]

Hope they make rapid Deku good next

[meager wharf]

Yeah they’re not doing too horribly overall. Most characters are close or could be close

[fervent kite]

Not until anni

[meager wharf]

New Deku

[fervent kite]

And that's a huge if

[meager wharf]

Infinite combo but it only takes 1 punch to kill

[fervent kite]

I'd love an Overlay Deku themed mostly around blackwhip

And blackchain

Plenty of stuff from All's Justice to pull from

[meager wharf]

It’ll come eventually. MHUI just got it

[fervent kite]

I can see it being anni

Like Strike Hawks

[meager wharf]

Possibly. Seems more likely to be a new Shoto

Apparently he got a new character model in files

So potential Shoto and possibly a Dabi?

[fervent kite]

He got a skeleton yeah

[meager wharf]

Could be cool

[fervent kite]

My theory is anni is gonna be Phosphor, Flame of Death Dabi and a OFA Deku quirkset

Guaranteed sales for Byking

[meager wharf]

I could definitely see that happening

[fervent kite]

Only issue for us is Phosphor is very likely gonna be Assault AoE slop

[meager wharf]

Whatever makes lobbies smaller before final circle

[spare kiln]

New deku as in tech deku?

Like blackwhip/chain based.

I would love to see that

[meager wharf]

Yes

[gleaming imp]

guys how do i do this tech my teammate is doing to stay airborne (sarcasm)

[tropic lantern]

People see a rapid Deku unlock float and want to call him a cheater smh

[fervent kite]

https://tenor.com/view/mha-s6-gif-27159115

[grave patio]

very old clip from the end of last year but 😭
https://outplayed.tv/my-hero-ultra-rumble/edJZ4l

I was so mad istg

[spare kiln]

He has float fr fr

[gleaming imp]

Btw the next game i was against this guy so i could see how bad it was (he was on strike bakugo aimbotting with blatant wall hacks too)

He chased me using like 12 bakugos sa before landing on the ground

For context about the wall hacks/ aimbot imagine this, he entered the portal to coffin in the sky like 6 seconds after me

The moment he went through the portal, he shot me exactly where i was on the lower area

Without even having los

Which makes it impressive how bad his stats as ofa deku were

[spare kiln]

☠️

Holy

[spark linden]

why does sometimes I can only land two hits?

with the punches that charge overdrive

i cant understand why does this happens

[spare kiln]

Ping/latency

Same for me when my ping is slightly higher than intended

Or a ping spike can cause this

[spark linden]

damn

im from south america

im just cooked

[spare kiln]

@strong sedge ur in my game

😂

[spare kiln]

Heres u i spectated you
You complain about ut melee track while missing half of them during game

Mind explaining the op tracking when u missed most of them?

[strong sedge]

Because I was not trying to commit against a team that beamed me in a second

[spare kiln]

I saw u go for it multiple times in the opne stop the cap

Half of them missed the track

[strong sedge]

Yeah, and when it failed I disengaged

[spare kiln]

So its not op ☠️

[strong sedge]

I was fishing for Overdrive more than anything

[spare kiln]

If it misses 50% of the time

Also thanks for the revenge on shiggy

[strong sedge]

The air melees didn't miss that much, just got the noreg ground melees

seriously how does a melee noreg in the middle of a chain

[spare kiln]

U think u have it bad mine auto disengages after the 1st upper vut

Cut

☠️

How does that work

How tf do they walk out of it

[strong sedge]

That's what I meant

[spare kiln]

I couldn't go fight you in the end duo to my lag 😭

[strong sedge]

Also I just hopped on, cut me some slack 😭

[spare kiln]

I was the assault deku that much is obvious

[strong sedge]

Fair nuf

[spare kiln]

On me screen ur teleporting😭

Everytime u dash teleport ong

[spare kiln]

Also

Why is that deku on ur team

With lvl 1 alpha

What is he doing

😭

Bro lvl up ur alpha please 😭

[strong sedge]

I even gave him cards bro 💀

[spare kiln]

☠️

I was playing with stick drift i adapted

😭

[spare kiln]

My team was just useless 😭

The uraraka did nothin

[strong sedge]

Specifically a level 2 alpha so idk what bro did with it

[strong sedge]

Your Toga had me scared, that mf didn't miss

[spare kiln]

Then she died the worst way posisble

The zone

☠️

See why i hate randoms?

Wait what's ur time zone

Maybe we can play some other day

Cuz i aint playing with this lag no more

[jaunty rune]

Saying anything just so he doesn’t get nerfed huh

[spare kiln]

Do they look like they gonna nerf him?

They dont even read feedbacks

[jaunty rune]

That doesn’t mean he doesn’t need nerfs??

What are you on bro

[spare kiln]

That wont matter if the devs aint gonna do it

He will be nerfed when overlay deku exists

[jaunty rune]

Uh huh…

[tropic lantern]

they aren't gonna nerf a character so we shouldn't discuss balance

sounds kinda lame

[fervent kite]

Excuses so he doesn't have to see his crutch get slandered

[fierce rain]

youre genuinely so ragebait

there are other parts of his kit too

[spare kiln]

Now you realised am ragebaiting?

[spare kiln]

Whos gonna tell you i use assault and strike deku more

[jaunty rune]

That doesn’t mean he can’t be your crutch…

[spare kiln]

Crutch my ahh am an assualt main till i die rapid is a bonus

[jaunty rune]

Do you know what crutch means

[spare kiln]

If i translate it to my language it means the stick to help you walk

[jaunty rune]

Well yes that’s true but in this case it’s a character that carries you or you use when you can’t win or struggle to win

[spare kiln]

So in other words admitting to relying on meta

No ty i rather die with assault deku

[jaunty rune]

Then why are you here and saying he shouldnt get nerfed or that we should stop talking about it because he might not

[spare kiln]

Ever heard of ragebaiting 🤔

[jaunty rune]

Pretty elaborate ragebait eh

[spare kiln]

Welcome to discord

[fervent kite]

Not surprising coming from the hardstuck pro unemployment king

[royal pulsar]

does anyone know why sometimes they fall after gear 4 only?

[humble night]

It's a glitch

I believe

Ever since they nerfed his melee it does it work half the time

And I also believe that they nerf the tracking on it too

[royal pulsar]

I thought it has a tech to it

also why is the melee after lock gamma inconsistent?

I thought it had something to do with if they are in air or not but no

[south solar]

its not true

they can just jump oput of it

they always could

just some people r dumb and dont

[strong sedge]

Actually it's FPS dependent

[royal pulsar]

I thought so

[royal pulsar]

nah bro when I get hit by it sometimes its true

[unborn pendant]

It's amazing how the devs fcked this dude up

[spare kiln]

They did it on purpose

[raw plover]

my only complaint is still his melee being reliable for damage at all and the tracking on his gamma X_X

i keep dieing to it in solos

doesnt even matter if you dodge the gamma with a roll on the ground cause the melee has such a huge range after

[meager wharf]

I think it’s pretty inconsistent on both sides which feels bad for everyone

Not a great look

[tropic lantern]

If you roll his gamma you should look to punish him during his punch animation

One of the only times he’s vulnerable

[raw plover]

That entirely depends on where he’s at

And most of the time if not all the time he misses in the air

[tropic lantern]

Who are you playing that if you roll his gamma he’s too far to punish?

[fervent kite]

A tank

[spare kiln]

https://youtube.com/shorts/2t4hJx7i24E?is=30q4CUGceSLKAXc-

A 54 dmg alpha?

Where did bro dmg go

[fervent kite]

Craziest defense build ever bro none of the moves were right for above 85

[spare kiln]

Cuz hes lvl 9 skills

Yet that mf was tanking

Bto spent all his slot of defense

[fervent kite]

I didn't mean right

Was half asleep when I typed lmao

I meant hitting

[spare kiln]

So 3 more days for patch notes?

And can we fix togas bug?

[fervent kite]

Hope so

[spare kiln]

I wasn't affected by it but my team was😭

[fervent kite]

I saw an All Might upside down once and felt so bad for the poor soul

[spare kiln]

I saw a nejire side ways 😭

[fervent kite]

He was so far up no one could do anything to bring him back down so it was just an All Might floating above the UA shopping mall

[spare kiln]

I hit her with ground alpha hoping the hard knock down would save her it didn't

[spare kiln]

Bro unlocked his master's quirk

🤣

[potent obsidian]

How to deku melee loop I just keep getting hit by it in ranked 💔

[humble night]

I want to know how to do it on switch

[bronze plover]

The method is the same I done it on switch before. There’s a clip I made here

Get a bit of
air on the opponent, easiest if they’re on HP with an air melee

melee until you land the 2nd uppercut don’t land the third uppercut

Roll

Quickly melee again and you’ll catch them for another melee combo

[meager wharf]

I would be shocked if you could send 2 clips of it happening in a single night

It’s a problem but it ain’t happening that often. Most deku’s aren’t doing it 💀

[royal pulsar]

does it depend on framerate bc I tried it but they fall before I reach them again

[next scaffold]

what skill order do yall max if you just like punching people

[tropic lantern]

If you’re not gonna alpha I’d do 4 gamma —> 9 beta —> 9 gamma

If you feel like you’re running out of gearshift a lot then increase the gamma until it’s comfortable

[jaunty rune]

i just go a4 g4 b9 a9 g9

i like beta but i also like alpha size and gamma duration increases so im not limited to only beta

[tropic lantern]

Hate the beta so I go g4 a9 g9

People don’t do enough damage early to punish aping people with your melee so the alphas less important imo

[jaunty rune]

I just do the combos and I finish with a beta so Ive been levelling it

[worldly dune]

Um

It has armor

I mean it's a fair complaint in the fact that if it lands it nets you an easy 350 damage

if is the big thing

Still the worst part of his kit

Id say the alpha needs a rework

And overdrive should get a rework

[meager wharf]

Bro has Cricket Wireless

[empty wigeon]

rapid deku: got skill issue? play me

[meager wharf]

Boom, roasted

[raw plover]

Froppy lmao

[meager wharf]

There’s absolutely no way Froppy roll puts you too far away to punish

Her beta has length

Especially with her recent buff to jump beta

[raw plover]

Oh I mean in general when his gamma misses it’s already further than you

He’s not on top of you when it missed he’s a few feet back

His gamma applies punches that brings him closer if they hit but if he misses that distance isn’t traveled

That with the roll is exactly far enough away to escape froppys ground beta especially if it isn’t level 9 with the range upgrade

I also haven’t even noticed any differences to her beta maybe except a slight quicker recharge but I use froppy exactly the same as I used to, same DPS and everything

[next scaffold]

just rolled ofa deku anyone have a good tuning setup for him?

[tropic lantern]

Revenge support + Hyper Regen
Embrittlement + Card Dupe
Willpower + Perception

[next scaffold]

aw naw, thats evil

diet tech shiggy is foul

[tropic lantern]

easily his best tuning combo, it's not close imo

[next scaffold]

seems like it'd just be busted on any character

[tropic lantern]

It is, but the harder the character is to kill and the easier it is for them to break shields the better

and he's really good at both

[bronze birch]

Anyone has a good tunning build for him ? I just got him so yeah

[tropic lantern]

#1420328186213826691 message

[meager wharf]

Are these still valid or outdated?

[worldly dune]

I vouch for revenge support hyper regen

Embrittlement sisterly on the leather fit is also great

Helps you tank a little more if you get teamshot

[tropic lantern]

fell off since last night

We're now running black arm + Battlefield analysis

[spare kiln]

🙏

[maiden obsidian]

I forgot what they both do honestly

[meager wharf]

One tells you where the next circle is, the other makes you uninterrupted below 500 DP during execution

They’re BUSTED!!!!!!!!!!

[icy dome]

Imo beta should like never be touched again
That change making it so you can only full smash once was a rlly good one

I’d like to see the alpha take 2 ammo for the grounded variant, and smoke screen get a wider aoe on use
It’s pretty bad as is, apart from blocking opponents from seeing directly where you’re going

But you can’t sit in it unless you place multiple, its too small

[meager wharf]

11 day ago response is worthy of jail time

[vivid bison]

Don't put Bowes in government

[lofty kernel]

no he’s valid

[fervent kite]

Now that his rerun is done, time to cope that they add an Undefeatable or Overlay skin

Please, no more PUR slop

[fathom furnace]

I'm running Annihilation + Perception on him

What leveling order do you prefer with him?

Getting Gamma maxed for duration is nice but the grounded Alpha is just too good

[tropic lantern]

g4 a9 g9 b9

[spare kiln]

Am getting the kings one foe tunning but i wont wear it as an outer layer

[fervent kite]

Like, we have 2 greats skins fully modeled in our neighbor game USE THEM

[spare kiln]

"we cant use them the modles are too advanced for mhur xbox one and ps4 players will lag"

What they been saying since we asked for xbox seires a ps5 ports to be optimised for 120fps

[keen citrus]

Need this character SO BAD

[strong sedge]

Idk man, I like the jester

[fervent kite]

I would love Overlay or an Undefeatable costume

Also, Monoma is the jester

[strong sedge]

I know but then I can't say I clowned on my opponents

[fervent kite]

they have the models, they can do it

[strong sedge]

They've had the skin we got for Shiggy this season in the game finished since the beta

[hot sphinx]

any good guides?

[fervent kite]

Gran Torino skin has also been sitting in the files since at least season 2

[next scaffold]

can you still do the semi infinite with deku melee?

[tropic lantern]

Yes you can

Easiest when they’re on health but it’s doable on shields, just have to start with an air melee

[next scaffold]

Good to know I’m just buns, just found the kamko video on blueku and can’t hit the combo to save my life

[tropic lantern]

That video was solid from what I remember

[tropic lantern]

It’s just the normal loop right? Not the one where he air melees in the middle of the combo right?

[next scaffold]

Air melee into second big punch roll repeat

[tropic lantern]

Dope, just checking since I don’t remember when the vid came out

[icy dome]

Imo I hope this quirk set focus’s a lot on black whip
Ik that’s its whole thing, and base OFA Deku is phenomenal
But the only quirk with very little rep is black whip

Hopefully it’s like what purple Shigi got where he launches with a skin to go along with the quirk set

[celest pumice]

I hate doing this becsyee it feel so cheesy

[stable otter]

What about float

[icy dome]

Could be a gamma esc ability that changes his other abilities kinda what his current gamma does to the beta

Since Deku didn’t haven’t gearshift at that part of the fight, it’d make for a nice replacement

[fervent kite]

Already represented by his overdrive smash

And quintuple

[stable otter]

Ig but blackwhip definitely isn’t the least represented considering how little smoke screen contributes to his kit

Atleast blackwhip is a actual move and in a finishing animation

[next scaffold]

yeah wow i cannot figure this out, the bots never get enough height

[tropic lantern]

It’s harder to do in training

Ping is really helpful in this game

Players are floatier than bots

[next scaffold]

ok i got a dumb question then, how do you check ping in mhur?

[tropic lantern]

Don’t think you can, mostly just a feel thing

You can send a clip if you want but it’s almost definitely just not rolling soon enough

Takes a while to get on bots

[next scaffold]

well i still cant hit the combo to save my life but i can sure spam alpha

[fervent kite]

Representation ≠ Contribution

Smokescreen has an entire button and function to itself

Float is a major part of 2 moves

[stable otter]

Uhhh does blackwhip not have the same?

[fervent kite]

Not on OFA Deku no

[stable otter]

Ig but blackwhip still has representation plus why make it a move again when it’s already a move on another version of deku

[fervent kite]

Because blackwhip is a really terrible tool on yellow deku and there's an entire form of Deku centered around blackwhip that would fit perfectly as a OFA Deku QSS?

Not terrible, but it's by far one of the worst tools on his set

Doesn't help they completely removed it's offensive utility to make it a combo tool

There's also the elephant in the room

[tropic lantern]

Looks like he’s floating to me

[fervent kite]

He's aurafarming actually

Unless he gets a aurafarm button where he just stuns the entire lobby to pose like that

What would the use of a float button even be?

Oh, his gamma dashes on gearshift are also float

Air force + float

[tropic lantern]

So is Fa Jin mid air

[fervent kite]

True

That's 4 uses of the quirk in the moveset

I'd say it's already pretty represented

[tropic lantern]

I don’t mind every quirk getting represented but it’s also important to note that certain quirks just aren’t as cool as the rest lmao

[pine gulch]

slowly turns towards smokescreen

[fervent kite]

Float is very literal

You float

That's it

[tropic lantern]

Like a float or smoke screen centered kit is gonna be way more boring than his blackwhip fa Jin variant

[fervent kite]

Blackwhip can cut

That alone makes it a billion times more interesting

[tropic lantern]

And you see it in the show, the latter 2 are very centered while the others support

[fervent kite]

Smokescreen movest

Pop smokescreen

Uhhh

Yeah

Slower smokescreen

[tropic lantern]

Also shouldn’t Shimura get added if we want a float kit

Call it a day

[pine gulch]

To be fair, blackwhip is one of his most versatile quirk, can be used for:

1. swinging like Spider-Man

2. Restraining opponents

3. Puppetering yourself

4. Hardening into weapons

5. Wrapping around yourself into a protective sheild

6. Be combined with Fa Jïn to make chains.

And yet somehow, none of the Deku’s use blackwhip to their full potential in MHUR. Heck, one of them doesn’t even HAVE blackwhip

[pine gulch]

Ironically, wouldn’t this count as a fantasy skin? Meaning the fantasy skin that everyone expected for him to get was his UA quest skin from All’s Justice, but he wanted to join Monoma in a jester court.

GIVE US UA QUEST

[fervent kite]

UA quest skins would be peak

[icy dome]

Kinda, but it’d be a cool ability for a overlay Deku quirk set

[icy dome]

That special action needs buffed desperately

It’s more of a “here I am” ability than a “you can’t see me”
Especially if you only use 1

https://tenor.com/view/izuku-smokescreen-part-1-gif-15158981163801895500

Imo I’d be fine with it taking 40% or even 50% if they buffed the aoe of it significantly

[fervent kite]

dawg

It's already part of 4 moves

Greed seen only in the bible

What would it even do, just float upwards?

[stable otter]

They could make it like yafo flight since deku can become it with Air Force to basically replicate flying

[fervent kite]

Ok, now next

Why would Overlay Deku do that?

And again, rapid deku already has the float air dashes

It's his gamma

[icy dome]

Would it not be sick for him to get alternative moves when using a hypothetical “float” gamma that changes his other skills?

Let’s not drag down others creativity my guy

[fervent kite]

I'd rather see more Fa Jin usage tbh

[icy dome]

His whole special action btw

[fervent kite]

Cause there's not really anything sick about float, at least not enough to make a moveset with entire variations around

Especially when like, half of his base kit already uses float in some way

[icy dome]

And since it would pass to the quirk set, having 2 abilities for the same quirk?
Should probably pass on that

[fervent kite]

Just make it be like Tech Denki, where having the special action active triggers an extra effect on the move

That way you both save on move repeats while also adding move variety

[icy dome]

Fair enough

[fervent kite]

For example, some of his moves could deal more damage or have extra effects by turning blackwhip into black chain

[icy dome]

Idk, for me the moves I want to see represented the most in a overly Deku theoretical move set would be
Black whip and float
The most memorable moments from the fight come from those moves, I think they would serve a quirk set well

Also

Plz buff smoke screen

I beg, I love it, but it’s hardly useful

[fervent kite]

I'm not trying to knock your ideas but I genuinely think we don't need more float

It's by far his most represented quirk

And it's probably gonna be included already if we get any form of mobility

So we really don't need more of it

I'd rather they lean harder on the fa jin and blackwhip combos and stray away from doing heavy repeats on what his base kit already does

If Rapid is floaty and very centered on mobility thanks to Gearshift, Overlay imo should lean on the opposite and make him heavier feeling and more grounded

[icy dome]

My main reason for wanting float is for this panel
As far as overlay Deku goes I consider this to be his most memorable moments
At the very least one of the top ones, and it feels like a easy move to add to a quirk set
Have him pull a massive peace of rubble from the ground, and slam it on opponents

[icy dome]

That would be neat to have a Fajin gamma that could alter or buff the other moves

[spare kiln]

What should happen to all nagants

[vivid bison]

If the smoke is like really fat like in the show it'd be cool

Imagine smoke the size of Yafo hold beta

[knotty loom]

I finally found and got Deku OFA, I need to get used to it of course but what would be a recommended Tuning for him?

[spare kiln]

final battle base embrittlment and gp sucker

final battle combat iron fist and embrittlement

this is for fun

[knotty loom]

Oh alright, thanks

[spare kiln]

Np

[spare kiln]

Use base if u want longer survivability

Combat for dmg

[knotty loom]

I guess I will try both to see what I am more suited with, firstly need to improve the playstyle and what to level up in-game

[spare kiln]

I can give u my lvl up path

[knotty loom]

Oh, sure

[spare kiln]

Alpha 4 >gamma 4>alpha 9 >gamma 9>then beta 9

I tend to use beta to move only

[knotty loom]

Alright, I will try this path too, I also used to beta for movement, but mostly because I have some habits from other characters that do rely on beta for movement too

[spare kiln]

Alpha is ur buddy on ofa deku

[knotty loom]

In terms of attack or in general?

[spare kiln]

In literally everything 😭

That shi has 500 down power

Use it when gear shift is active tho

The higher the gear the better

[knotty loom]

alright, the gear shift gimmick I am tryin to get used to it ofc, because it's like it's main thing

[knotty loom]

ok that's a lotta damage

[spare kiln]

Yes it resets to 100% every uppercut u do

[spare kiln]

On lvl 9 its does 100 with the fixer build i gace u it does 124

Or 130

Sometimes

[knotty loom]

alright, I will see if I have the stuff to make it

[spare kiln]

That build is mostly for fun doesn't mean its bad its just aint the main

[knotty loom]

Yeah, yeah but I think it's good to give it a try if I can create it, otherwise I will do the others

[spare kiln]

I made with my friend because by all means we were bored

[knotty loom]

Oh, okay, well in the end if I can have fun with a character I have more reasons to play it

[spare kiln]

Well enjoy it btw u can zone lock people with alpha 😂

[knotty loom]

I saw how you can literally them flying away and away with that, even when I played against Deku OFA it always made me laugh frankly

[spare kiln]

Dw even if they fly they aint out running overdrive lock on🙏😭

[knotty loom]

That is good to know, the only thing I probably must get used to would be the aim a bit, it's still an enviroment filled with characters that do rely a lot on movement and mid-long range, especially in ranked

[spare kiln]

You will be fine his alpha negates everything kiri with hardening on? Nah id win🙏

It literally ragdols him in hardening mode

😭

Only rapid allmight while shooting alpha can tank two

[knotty loom]

Yeah that's annoying but understandable when you can downgrade every character to a literal sack of potatoes

[spare kiln]

😭😭🙏

[knotty loom]

I've tried this fun build and it's absolute cinema

[frigid arrow]

One day. This game will do true justice

[spare kiln]

Ik the alpha becomes a canon😭

[knotty loom]

Yeah like I felt the damage a lot, even if I died in the process a bit but that's another thing

[knotty loom]

One day with the build and I can confirm, Deku has become a damage machine

[spare kiln]

Yuh now get 2 strike teammates

☠️

U can two shot a a full gp

Ngl ama use it more

[knotty loom]

I've had already a chance to find two strikes and omg

This guy

I ain't experienced but the more I play the more I see what you can do with this little beast

[spare kiln]

Spam jump and alpha

☠️

[knotty loom]

Sure I can do, this bud is literally "f around and find out"

[spare kiln]

Also ur beta tracks if ur opponent is under

If u hit ur overdrive high in the air u air on them while falling

If u hit it on the floor u can melee chain after it

[knotty loom]

Ohh yeah I am trying to always chain a melee after hitting it or a gamma since there's an actually small window to do that

It could be me but Deku OFA is probably my first character being this dependent on Melee attacks

[spare kiln]

Ur ping gotta be low for a 100% succès rate

[spare kiln]

He is cuz that's the entirety of his gamma

The higher the gear the better the alpha becomes

[knotty loom]

I have a stable ping so I actually managed to hit a combo once in a while I've played so far

And it wrecks

[spare kiln]

Also u can ait melee mid air into beta 🙏

[knotty loom]

No mercy known in the dictionary

[knotty loom]

So beta after a mid-air melee?

[spare kiln]

Yuh it will automatically hit if ut above them to start if ur not above them aim ur beta after melee

[knotty loom]

alright time to try when I get the chance to

[spare kiln]

Goodluck e

[worn wraith]

delete him

[spare kiln]

You mad?

Leave the game

Its free

[knotty loom]

I managed to do it once but it's a matter of timing and..what surrounds you

green Nejire is a bit annoying at times

[spare kiln]

Alpha camp her 😭

8ts what I do

You learning fast if i say so my self

Goodjob

[knotty loom]

Yes that's what I try, bullying people out of the safe seems to be a quite good thing to do with Deku OFA

I already done that a bunch of times, especially against Star and Stripe and Nagant users

[spare kiln]

Very deserved on star

[knotty loom]

A lot, before using this character I used to bait her with strike Denki

Satisfying to say the least

[spare kiln]

U can be more annoying now

[knotty loom]

Yes, pushing people outta boundary is way better, the smaller the safe the better it becomes at sucking off people's hps

It actually helped me a lot, focusing on Melee and Alpha works very well, the rest used for movement also helps

Sometimes to wait to use again gamma's movement I do Fa Jin mid-air, it helps sometimes even tho I become vulnerable if done in the wrong moment

[spare kiln]

Lets be fr beta for dmg is kinda useless 😭

[spare kiln]

Btw if u jump wilhile standing still with fajin u gain space hop

[knotty loom]

It just doesn't feel the same as other betas with a similar intent, apart from when it's in 5th gear

But even then I just started off with him and I can say beta is very inconsistent

Or to say the least, very niche to use as dmg dealer

[spare kiln]

It was better back in the day ehen u could do 2 quintuplets back to back

[knotty loom]

Damn-

In 5th gear I tend to use one beta and then use the other use left for overdrive variant but even then, it's very inconsistent unlike other abilities like support kiri's gamma

[spare kiln]

Type of shi u can do

[spare kiln]

That's what u should do

[knotty loom]

Then I hit the right road with him

[knotty loom]

Holy crap

That Monoma got smoked

[spare kiln]

This was in s13 when i thought alpha was bad

Hence why it aint lvl 9

[knotty loom]

oh alright, well I can share that it's what to aim for

best when I happen to avoid combat to get it at the least lvl 4

[spare kiln]

Always alpha lvl 4 before combat

[knotty loom]

rushing in without anything leveled is just a suicide and I learned that the hard way with Denki for example

[spare kiln]

Am working on a new fixer build i will share it with you if it turns out better than the current one

[knotty loom]

Oh sure, I personally find myself well with the one you shared already

Deku 's a damage machine already

[spare kiln]

Am tryna squeeze out every hit point from alpha

Tryna see if i can make it 2 shot a 300 hp player

😭

[knotty loom]

I think it's possible, but I don't know how

[fickle harness]

2 strike cards 2 strike teamates iron fist and revenge strike 🙂

very fair trust

[spare kiln]

I will figure it out

[spare kiln]

My boy

I gotta start doing that thanks lol

[knotty loom]

Will wait for news

[spare kiln]

Just for the record what purs do u have

[fickle harness]

lol

[spare kiln]

😭

[knotty loom]

?

[fickle harness]

I want his quirk assist gear so bad ;-;

[spare kiln]

Ofa dekus suits

U have all them

Leather final battle quirk assist and cards?

[spare kiln]

Its where his fixer build is 😭

[knotty loom]

Leather and quick assist if not wrong, sorry that I don't remember the names of the costumes

[spare kiln]

Assuming u dont have the cards one

[fickle harness]

yea but thats not even why I want it

[knotty loom]

The latest one released right?

[spare kiln]

Yuh the one on his banner rn

They clown looking one

[knotty loom]

Oh yeah I don't have it but I am probably gonna do some rolls when I can

[spare kiln]

I got it cuz i wanna do random builds 😭

Never gonna actually wear it

[knotty loom]

I tend to use the costume for the tunings separately from the one for appearance

Frankly his standard one I like it enough

[spare kiln]

I use final battle base for appearance

And the rest tunning

[knotty loom]

Like. I do that for every character atp

[fickle harness]

his ofa battle ver combat prob best costume for tuning

can get embrit and trance or iron fist

its red and yellow V

[worldly dune]

My favourite thing to do is use fa Jin to air stall and land on someone's head and obliterate them

[spare kiln]

Technically yes but also no

I would use an alpha with fixer focused build if u use alpha alot

[meager wharf]

Don’t recommend trance blow

It’s a horrible tuning

[tropic lantern]

Don’t use fixer lmao

It’s barely a damage gain

[eager gate]

yeah messes up melee loops

[pine gulch]

Imo, trancey trance trance blow is the most annoying tuning next to LEGO Batman

[spare kiln]

135 per alpha soudns gokd to me

[eager gate]

it just depends on ur play style, if you wanna be a absolute annoying sweat with melee loops then trance blow is awful, both tuning wether you use it or not is very rat 😭

[eager gate]

more damage than some gammas 😭😭

[tropic lantern]

losing a tuning for 18 damage on the ground alpha is not worth at all

[spare kiln]

Worth it for me it does me wonders

[tropic lantern]

Happy for you

[spare kiln]

Also base groudd Aloha si 100

[tropic lantern]

Yeah

And fixer doubles one side

So at best you’re getting 18 damage from it

Probably less because it’s not even doubling your full build

Probably like 12 damage from the tuning

[spare kiln]

My alpha does 125 to 135

[tropic lantern]

Wow

That’s even worse

[spare kiln]

That's more than 18 edtra

Base does 100 so that's +25 or more sometimes

[tropic lantern]

That’s not all from fixer lmao

Compare your exact same build with and without fixer

You have base tunings in that any other build would have

[meager wharf]

Using fixer on a 500 DP move is pretty much never going to be worth it

Unless it can actually 1 tap

[lofty kernel]

fixer is at most going to be 11% damage assuming perfect possible slots

is there even 5 alpha damage tunings in the game rn?

[eager gate]

how’s the build fellow dekus

[lofty kernel]

its alright

tuning on ofa is kinda preference so as long as they arent garbage tunings its good

[spare kiln]

Am convinced melee is fps affected

Am on 7 ping

And my melee doesn't connect

[eager gate]

nah i think it’s just ping and reaction time

[vivid bison]

Lego Batman????? 😭

[spare kiln]

Am on 7 ping any lower?

[worldly dune]

The knock up definitely is affected by fps but not the actual melee connecting

[spare kiln]

Like i checked my ping it was between 7 to 15 but everytime i track some /hit the first melee they just break free

[worldly dune]

yeah thats either their connection or the fps is messing you up

[spare kiln]

Like at just make xbox and ps and pc 120fps

[knotty loom]

@spare kiln when it works

it works

[spare kiln]

If it works dont touch it wise words

[knotty loom]

Exactly sir, before this game I've had one with a guy hacking using Ibara

And his team didn't even win in the end, despite having a guy spamming PUs

[spare kiln]

Lol

Bro got karma

[knotty loom]

Yes, I managed to survive for my team to arrive 2nd at the least

[spare kiln]

Ur next goal is 45k points

[knotty loom]

But still, the fact that kind of losers still roam around leaves me surprised

[knotty loom]

Anyway, yes eventually, one day it will happen

If it works
It works

And if it doesn't

You make it do so

[spare kiln]

Peak dmg

[knotty loom]

That alpha is just so satisfying when you shove people outta safe

I could say at the least 2-3 kills in the games I've done are because I simply kept opponents out of boundary

[spare kiln]

They must have rage quit

[knotty loom]

Probably left them mad for sure but it's quite rewarding against the recent wave of tech bakugos swarming the lobbies, when they charge it's the best window to shove them off

[spare kiln]

Just dont use trance blow

😭

I rather you would not join the brain dead players

[knotty loom]

I prefer not to become brain dead, I am still learning how to use Deku OFA after all

[spare kiln]

Good never use it

[knotty loom]

This build here it's good enough, as you said, if it works don't touch it

Trance blow isn't even, for me at the least, such a worth special tuning since it's quite manageable against, and seasoned players don't even care about it when they get hit with it

[spare kiln]

Bro truly likes the build 😭

[knotty loom]

Yes, you committed a severe mistake

[spare kiln]

Well i created a devil

[knotty loom]

And this will go on until I hit ace, it's been so much time I spent on trying to find Deku OFA with no avail, so

[spare kiln]

Then i gave u a build amd u started cooking

[knotty loom]

So it's a nice reason to at the least get somewhat decent as I've done with other characters

[eager gate]

how do i effectively use wall runner and crit perm on him?

[fervent kite]

Crit perm just use top gear and book it

Wall runner is really unnecessary on him but if you must, use it to get leverage with overdrive's speed

Use walls as platforms to jump off of, be creative

[eager gate]

is overdrive into melee loops possible

and when rolling for the loop should i roll left right front or back

[worn wraith]

can’t zone him can’t get close quarters can’t run from him like DAMN

what’s the plan against a ofa deku

[lofty kernel]

nah dp is too high

also roll direction shouldnt matter

[eager gate]

okay thank you

[lofty kernel]

i think you have to rotate camera 180 to make your movement face the enemy either way so probably face forward to make it easier

just input movement towards them its easier

[tropic lantern]

If they’re high enough yes but most of the time you’re only getting 1 melee

There’s a certain height where dp is irrelevant and the game lets you keep catching them

[lofty kernel]

how tf dat work

[tropic lantern]

I’d have to go back into old clips and see, never really thought about why

It’s inconsistent but this characters melee goes through people that are flashing immune quite a bit, specifically the flurry punches

[lofty kernel]

i think thats just a bug with flashing this season

a lot of times it says you have iframes but you just dont

[tropic lantern]

I know what you’re talking about but nah it’s not that

Certain skills with a lot of down power can hit people while they’re in the melee chain, they’ll start flashing because they definitely hit 500 dp and it’ll just continue

Not everything, like Tokoyamis love interrupting loops with their melees

[jaunty rune]

do you have an example because im fairly certain thats not how that works

[tropic lantern]

I’ll look through clips, I’m sure I have some

[jaunty rune]

idk why they flash but its not because they get hard knocked and it just goes through

kk

they also patched the roll bug this season so you shouldnt be getting hit after a hard knock

[tropic lantern]

The melee off of overdrive is most likely not related, if they’re high enough the 100 dp have probably misses and you catch them with the flurry so you get multiple loops

[tropic lantern]

I haven’t seen it this season

[jaunty rune]

crafty knows a ton about looping off overdrive

[jaunty rune]

yeah i havent been able to do it either

[meager wharf]

Ochaco clip?

[jaunty rune]

w change ive been liking it (even though i lost a route on kendo but its still a net positive)

[gusty creek]

sometimes you just gotta do everything

[celest pumice]

OVERDRIVE

[south solar]

this is not that

it means they tried to tech

but they couldn't in time before you hit them

that's why they're flashing like they have iframes

[tropic lantern]

gotcha that makes sense

[gusty creek]

💪

[weak shuttle]

Is anyone else able to do the melee loop on console

[jaunty rune]

@strong sedge

[eager gate]

i can only 2 tho

i js started playing him tho

[weak shuttle]

What are your variations

I only started to hit it consistently cus I play more claw nowadays

[eager gate]

i only rlly have one, gear shift dash to someone in air, air melee them to the ground then do the loop

[lofty kernel]

if u can do 2 on bots u can do 3 on players easy

[strong sedge]

It's all in the timing, u can do 4 actually

[gusty creek]

looping 4 times aint really worth it with how inconsistent it is, just loop once or twice and you'll be golden 💪

[woeful wigeon]

whatre good tunings for OFA Deku w/ costume?

my friend wants to run a build that buffs his beta

[spare kiln]

Buffing his beta won't be doing much good

[woeful wigeon]

trying to tell them that but not sure if theyre willing to change

[spare kiln]

If so

[spare kiln]

Tell him to use final battle combat main slot iron fist +embrittlement and every strike sub slot beta dmg

And beta reload

[woeful wigeon]

thats basically what I said, though I told them since they rely on beta rather then melee they should have crushing pu charge and quirk factor release

since I heard embrittlement got nerfed

[zenith saffron]

You all are evil

[pine gulch]

I still practice the melee loops

[pine gulch]

I use a tech that puts super armor on beta and gamma

[zenith saffron]

Definitely more an exploit rather than a tech

[pine gulch]

I still force imaginary people in my basement to work on a lego farm

[jaunty rune]

It’s just a cancel

It’s not even anything crazy nor does it actually give beta armor you just cancel the startup of ground alpha with a beta and give the illusion of having armor on beta

[vivid bison]

What 😭

[pine gulch]

All lego people should be forced to play MHUR

[vivid bison]

Don't put bro in government

[pine gulch]

MOOO

[vivid bison]

Meow?

Why we making animal sounds

[pine gulch]

TRINI!!! HI!!!

[vivid bison]

Huh hai rufus

[pine gulch]

YOU ARE A AMAZING PERSON!!

[vivid bison]

Uh ty! I'm sure you are too

[pine gulch]

I sensed I made you uncomfortable so I will shu1 up now! I will always be here!

[vivid bison]

No I'm just confused as always dw

[pine gulch]

You sure? Your boundaries matter more then a chipmunk chasing me around with a lightsaber demanding for me to Shave his head

[vivid bison]

I'm rarely ever uncomfortable so yeah. That's quite the analogy

[pine gulch]

Okie! Then you deserve thousands of doughnuts shipped to your doorstep with a million dollars!

[spare kiln]

I dont recall its nerfed

[woeful wigeon]

idk it was either iron fist embrittlement or sisters deposition

that are apparently bad

[vivid bison]

You too love

[pine gulch]

NO!ONLY U

[vivid bison]

I'll share then

[pine gulch]

But you deserve it way more!

[vivid bison]

So much doughnuts will make me fat

[pine gulch]

Then save some for later!

[vivid bison]

True

[spare kiln]

It was sisterly

[pine gulch]

You deserve it!!

[rain sundial]

anyone got a build?

[spare kiln]

"hes a phantom"

What suit bro

[rain sundial]

i got all his suits so anything works

[spare kiln]

Alr i will finish my game and share my builds

[rain sundial]

W, how many you got?

[spare kiln]

I think 4

[rain sundial]

yessirrr

[spare kiln]

One of em was budget when i didn't have final battle yet so dont mind it

[rain sundial]

i gotchu bro , ill be waiting

[spare kiln]

Aight

[spare kiln]

Leather style was budget don't mind it

[rain sundial]

i like the battle one ( combat) thx man

[spare kiln]

That's the most recommanded

[rain sundial]

i think ill see if i should replace iron fist with trance blow or something

[spare kiln]

It will increase down power and ruin combo potential

[rain sundial]

ight imma keep iron fist

[humble night]

Like marvel Iron fist?

People still use sisterly in this day and age?

[knotty loom]

I got against a Trance Blow Deku OFA, that was hella annoying ngl

[spare kiln]

I made that build im s13 cuz well i didn't have anything

I no longer use it

I use embrittlement +gp sucker or iron fist with embrittlement

[knotty loom]

Oh alright, I still use the Fixer one, it works

[spare kiln]

Its peak

[knotty loom]

I confirm

The most ideal situation is always having the alpha well leveled before engaging

[spare kiln]

Exactly what I do

[knotty loom]

yes

and it works

most of the times

[eager gate]

this is prolly the funnest build for him

[rain sundial]

i see its mainly for his alpah

[eager gate]

it buffs health and gp and alpha, the wall runner and crit perm is very very fun if you know how to use it

[spare kiln]

@knotty loom https://youtube.com/shorts/ojaaqS37b8k?si=88-kCJoZMwoGLbXB

[knotty loom]

?

[spare kiln]

That's why we lvl alpha first

[knotty loom]

HOLY, I JUST SAW

[spare kiln]

Its feels like a slap on steroids ngl

😭

[knotty loom]

It feels like "you've had your share of fun, aye, now it's my turn"

[spare kiln]

How it feels

[knotty loom]

Flying slap lvl.9

[spare kiln]

Real

[knotty loom]

@spare kiln When it works, don't bother touching it

[spare kiln]

Real shi

[knotty loom]

I wasn't even fully leveled with gamma because I died in mid-late but last teammate revived in time

[spare kiln]

I once spent the entire match on lvl 9 alpha and lvl 4 gamma and no beta

[knotty loom]

Bullying flying characters like Nejire hasn't been this satisfying

[knotty loom]

I was alpha lvl.9, gamma lvl.7 and beta prob 4

[spare kiln]

Shush bro honeybee will not let me hear the end of it

😭

[knotty loom]

It was satisfying tho

It's quite annoying dealing with that flying thing acting like a time-bomb

[spare kiln]

Its always satisfying 😭 but honey bee would accuse me of nejire assault 😭

[knotty loom]

My favourite kind of assaults

Along with nagants and tech bakugos

Oh

[knotty loom]

I found the new costume for deku ofa in the meantime

Playing Cards

[spare kiln]

His alpha is practically telling your enemy to give up life

[spare kiln]

Now u can run the double rapid 😭

Wall runner+gp sucker

[knotty loom]

Whose alpha nagant or bakugo?

[spare kiln]

Rapid dekus

[knotty loom]

Oh

Yeah

[spare kiln]

Me when i get bored of ofa deku

[knotty loom]

Which tuning should I do if I wanted to use that costume?

[spare kiln]

Wall runner +gp sucker or rev rapid +gp sucker

[knotty loom]

Deku kinda sticking to the construction plan

Honestly I have never tried Strike Deku even tho I have him but I feel I am going off-topic since it's Deku OFA's channel

[spare kiln]

That gamma is generation pain and agony

U think hiding behind a wall will save you? Fuh nah it hits through walls☠️

[knotty loom]

Yeah, it's also a lot annoying in the latest safes because in some maps that thing can legit block you like Cementoss and Todoroki if you're in buildings like Neo Academia's Hospital

[knotty loom]

That's quite concerning but in the end it's a gamma so I guess they wanted to make it such or I dunno

[spare kiln]

What u gonna do if u see a rapid deku and a strike deku running at you?

[spare kiln]

Ur practically dead 😭

[knotty loom]

Call for your teammates, when a problem surpasses your capacities, trust your teammates'!

They surely know how to handle the problem

But yeah, a team comprising double dekus feels illegal af

[spare kiln]

Am the teammates bro😭

[knotty loom]

At the very beginning I was thinking if it was fair that teams could have both Deku and Deku OFA since technically it's still him..

Just like All For One

[spare kiln]

Seeing base deku using his sa on ofa deku feels illegal

[knotty loom]

Holy shi

How did you K.O 10 ppl with that damage

[spare kiln]

By saving my dead beat teammates 😭

[knotty loom]

"Lemme revive my future self!"

[knotty loom]

btw do you have any setup to share about them or?

[spare kiln]

I can pull on out rn without actually making jt

[knotty loom]

Now I don't know if I have the material to do the tunings and each slot but I should be able to no time

[knotty loom]

oh alright, sure

[spare kiln]

Gimmi like 3 mins to type it down

[knotty loom]

oh sure, don't worry, I am not even in game, heading to bed soon

[spare kiln]

Special slot 1 gp sucker
Special slot 2 revenge rapid/wall runner
Slot 1 aizawa
Slot 2 tech shigaraki /tech afo
Slot 3 overhaul
Slot 4 twice
Slot 5 nagant
Slot 6 bakugo
Slot 7 kurogiri /ibara
Slot 8 kirishima
Slot 9 nejire /momo
Slot 10 denki

Ofa the alpha wont be as good as the fixer one

Ofc*

[spare kiln]

@knotty loom

[knotty loom]

I will take note, thanks

[spare kiln]

Ofc all these builds are for preference /fun the main one remains iron fist with embrittlement

[knotty loom]

Maybe I will try it when I will want to try something different from the fixer one, which I found well for my gamestyle

[knotty loom]

Where the fun is, never staying back, in the end it works even if it's probably not the most recommended

[spare kiln]

Like i switch between builds alot depending on my teammates 👌😭

[knotty loom]

the fact that it's funny and that alpha's cracks it does, yeah it's good for me

[spare kiln]

Dont follow the games recommanded option its based on most used not the best

As u can see momo tunning is ranked 1 when support nejire is better

I never use that system its shi

[knotty loom]

oh right, I was confused at first when that was introduced, considering I remained largely inactive for the entirety of the last season

or well, I was inactive since the second half of the season that came before the previous one but that's another thing

[spare kiln]

Respectfully i hate the game do i still play it everyday? Yes i do why? May only god know

[knotty loom]

Hey, you ain't alone! Be lucky about that

or well, I don't hate this game, lemme clarify, it more like depends on how the season goes

[spare kiln]

Game annoys me man

[knotty loom]

Understandable

[shadow rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/die-reaper-spinning-rotate-overwatch-gif-17444526

[humble night]

I am a OFA Deku main And I play on Switch and since It seems like doing the infinite melee combo seems nearly impossible on Switch then that means I can't be like the PC players and use my main two is full potential and that kind of makes me feel a certain type of way so I'm debating rather I should just stop playing him until they patch his melee loop because genuinely I just think that If I can't use a character to as full as potential then I can't call myself a main

[pine gulch]

『Another One for All Deku main here! And honestly, you shouldn't stop maining a character because you can't use it to the fullest! Maining a character means having fun with them, not just doing great! I bet you're already a amazing Deku main, even without the loop. 』

[humble night]

Thank you I really appreciate it I mean I produce probably one of the best results with him out of any character that I play And I always have a blast playing him so thanks for the confidence boost

He's been my main since he came out

And as much hate as I get for loving the character that never stopped me

[pine gulch]

『So glad to hear that! Keep playing him and smashing!』

[humble night]

Absolutely

[spare kiln]

I agree with what u said honestly i cant do some of his combos that doesn't mean i wont use him

[knotty loom]

That's the mindset people should have when they want to "main" a character.

[lean ivy]

Ngl, as a OFA main on PC i don't do the melee loop out of respect, i made my own combos and try to not abuse of Overdrive spam, i try to play the character as fair as possible and still have fun, maybe not all people do the same thing but i still enjoy the character regardless, i just like to use him as he was meant to be without abusing of bugs or loops.

(Honestly ever since he came out i didn't even bother to learn melee loops because i think they are unfair and stupid imo)

[random galleon]

Rapid Deku too good

[humble night]

They really are

[lean ivy]

honestly, the people that use them give us OFA mains really bad rep

😭

[humble night]

the majority of people who play rapid deku that make us look brain dead which causes stereotypes. So if I play Blue Deku people are going to immediately assume that I only play him because he's busted. The stereotyping has got to stop bro like most of us aren't brain dead mindless idiots who just press one button. Some of us actually have a brain and know how to use them properly. I play him because I love his gameplay style and how it suits with mine And I love his hero design.

Also because he's been my main since he came out

[lean ivy]

Exactly. When he first came out people called me cringe because i was using the "busted" character, when i just enjoy Deku in general. i used to mostly main red and yellow before he came out. Despite i tried to use him differently people still called me "braindead" because of the character

at this point people need to learn, Blame the player, not the character

[humble night]

Fun fact I was an assault all might main before rapid Deku came out before all my got the buff that he has right now

Back in the days when he was considered buns

[humble night]

I'm used to it at this point of people saying that I only play brain dead characters like rapid deku

[lean ivy]

EXACTLYYY, us Deku fans we been STARVING and living under a rock until OFA came out

[lean ivy]

Yeah, kinda the reason why i try to play other characters that do require skill, to show that i have a brain

lol

i do hope that one day they finally get rid of melee loops

[humble night]

Oh I just got to the point where I don't care what people think anymore. My mains except Rapid Deku are tech Hado, assault all might, and Mt Lady

And they still want to complain that I'm playing brain dead character so I generally can care less about what people think of me anymore

[humble night]

Take it from me Don't stop playing a character just to prove a point to someone else because it's not your fault that they can't learn the match up

[lean ivy]

that's very fair, i still enjoy OFA, i just didn't want to tunnel vision much with him and have other options to play, because sometimes i just get tired of playing the same character

[humble night]

Absolutely

[lean ivy]

like playing Momo and Tsu helped me more to care about my team and not just try to fight everything in my way lmao

[humble night]

The only support character that I play now in days are Ibara

[lean ivy]

I like having versatile picks, it helps my play style overall

[humble night]

I agree

[lean ivy]

fair enough, i have been enjoying Support Neji too, just i do agree she needs a little tweak

[humble night]

I'm not going to lie I enjoy playing her but at the same time she kind of feels scummy not going to lie

[lean ivy]

yeah especially if you pair her with Tech Shiggy, that's a NIGHTMARE to go against

[humble night]

Plus I enjoy playing Tech more because tech hado is actually the very first character I ever unlocked and she's also the reason why I know this game exists lol

[humble night]

It is

[lean ivy]

fair, i did enjoy her as well, i just gravitated more towards support because of the alpha being easier to hit

i do love me hitting ranged attacks

[humble night]

Understandable

[spare kiln]

I respect i never learned it as well

[lean ivy]

It's just an unfair mechanic at this point that gives you an advantage over everyone, it is not fun for anyone, expect the people that like to oneshot everything on their path i suppose

[spare kiln]

I hate the loop i also hate overdrive (i use it only when necessary) and i hate the bugs

[lofty kernel]

alpha gotta be his most hated thing I know the nejires I keep ragdolled aren’t happy

[spare kiln]

If it has any lower dp it would be way worse

[lofty kernel]

one time I killed an entire team cuz they tried to play storm and they just ate alphas like that’s gotta be the most rage bait thing ever

[spare kiln]

Poor team

[lean ivy]

same, i try to avoid spamming it a lot, because it's unfair how much you can spam it, i would be down that they nerf it and make it so everytime you use it, it either takes away like 50% of your gamma or all of it

[lofty kernel]

bro overdrive just bricks so much I don’t even use it

[spare kiln]

Or add a spam cooldown

[lofty kernel]

rapid Beamer with a good beta and a melee loop

[spare kiln]

Like disable the hold and allow dashes after u use hold

[lean ivy]

it's funny to me how many people spam it and i'm just like, "hey wanna see something cool?" and melee into beta

it's awesome :)

with my build is almost a guardbreak too

[lean ivy]

as much as i would want that, doubtful for the devs to add new code for a already released character

[spare kiln]

I have a fixer build dont ask why

[lean ivy]

i can understand why, i do embrit/iron fist in mine

[spare kiln]

I have iron/embrittlement
Embrittlement /gpsucker
Fixer/sisterly

[lean ivy]

Mhm, i do want to make a better build for him i just don't see any costumes that interest me

like, i have all of his costumes

just the tuning underneath is kinda...eh

i hope they release good costumes for him eventually

[spare kiln]

We need a cyberpunk ngl

[sullen stream]

I heard rumors that they buffed this braindead character...

[spare kiln]

When?

[lean ivy]

i would love a fantasy updated costume for him, like in AJ

[sullen stream]

[spare kiln]

It wasn't intentional it just happend to benfit his air alpha

[lean ivy]

yeah, not much of a change honestly

[jaunty rune]

the last buff he got was making his air alpha come out when in the jumpsquat animation

[jaunty rune]

it was a huge change what

[spare kiln]

Was it intentional tho?

[jaunty rune]

yes

[spare kiln]

Cus many other received the change but didn't benfit much from it

He just happend to benfit

[lean ivy]

eh, i use my alphas a lot, i just really don't notice the difference

[jaunty rune]

air alpha air alpha ground alpha

thats just a free guardbreak

fast af too

[lean ivy]

oh yeah, i just like to go in, i'm not a spammer

lol

[jaunty rune]

you can still use alpha up close

[spare kiln]

Shi i cant even use his new air alpha right so i just avoid it

[jaunty rune]

youre not slowing down at all and he can cancel the endlag into gamma as a great approach option

there is no risk to it

[lean ivy]

well honestly i didn't even know that, not sure i'll use either, i just like to do my own thing

[spare kiln]

Using new air alpha is uhh inconsistent to me so meh i dont need it

[lean ivy]

i prefer hitting grounded alphas better than air ones, feels more comfortable

also i like animation cancel grounded ones

:)

[spare kiln]

I only use it once every decade

[lean ivy]

fair

[jaunty rune]

thats because its broken

its not bad that you like it but thats probably why it feels more comfortable

i still have yet to hit an alpha parry though

on top of getting better at combos i wanna do that

[lean ivy]

i will agree it shouldn't do as much as it does, i just don't use it that often and prefer doing my melee into beta stuff

i like creating my own playstyle rather than follow what others say it's broken

[fickle harness]

is it weird to level alfa and beta first on him? cuz thats what I do

[worldly dune]

Weird to not level alpha first

I like to level gamma to 4 to make it not run out almost instantly

[strong sedge]

Didn't say you should, I just said you could.

Anywho it's only inconsistent because u don't have the timing down

[pine gulch]

@strong sedge

Random question: do the melee loop not work in CPU. Mode either?

[gusty creek]

no its just inconsistent when it comes to actually loop. sometimes the enemy gets slammed somewhere else, deku turns around for some reason, or your teammates break the combo off

[strong sedge]

No, because it just doesn't work ON bots, not based on the gamemode

[pine gulch]

DARN IT

[strong sedge]

Idk, I don't particularly have much issues unless I ACTIVELY f* it up

[pine gulch]

Like my relationship with my dad-

[gusty creek]

i mean the issues dont happen all the time, but it still does happen

[gusty creek]

crazy reply

[pine gulch]

You know what else is crazy? People who don't wipe after sneezing

[gusty creek]

true

[fickle harness]

True

[jaunty rune]

Idk about you but I have no issues with looping

It’s really consistent

[gusty creek]

well i guess its a me thing then!

[fickle harness]

I'm having some issues

[solar sail]

It's only inconsistent in lagging servers and bots

[gusty creek]

i guess cus it never happened to you that means its never happened

[solar sail]

What are they?

[solar sail]

No it happened, when I was learning the loop when it was first released, even on regular players it would drop (even when sometimes I caught them in the melee they could still act)

[thorny ether]

i got OFA earlier today im so happy

[runic ravine]

You guys are rats
That's it

[sudden vigil]

You must have just died to a ofa deku

[fervent kite]

Toga and Shinso player btw

Something something stones and glass house

[maiden obsidian]

How do we face against a kendo?

In particular a strike kendo?

[fervent kite]

Zoning

Stay away at all times and use your alpha

[runic ravine]

Sonnnn
Spam that armored alpha

[runic ravine]

No they free
It's just y'all unskilled

I'm not sure how people suck at him

[runic ravine]

Idk why I have the shinso role
I play everyone though

I'm just like that

Even the 🧊 agent

[sudden vigil]

Well I made all Deku’s so I don’t count👀

[runic ravine]

Goat

[maiden obsidian]

Alr

[fervent kite]

Skill issue tbh

He's got a hyper low skill floor

[runic ravine]

[spare kiln]

You do realise at least 70% of the members here are assault deku mains right?
